This cream is marketed for oily and combo/dehydrated skin, which is my exact skin type. But I noticed it dries down slightly sticky and tacky on my skin for no apparent reason. Is it supposed to do that? Is it some ingredient?

I’ve never sold this much at once, and I’m really nervous that I’m packing my items (shirts) poorly. I would hate to be responsible for damaged/lost packages. I don’t want to be a negligent seller. Are my packaging skills bad?

So I’m a seller myself and the one who called this out under a promo comment. This was their reply. I just don’t understand why putting no refunds is necessary on apps like Depop. Even if it‘s “your” shop policy.

I notice Madagascar Vanilla and Vanilla 28 share a vanilla orchid note and would be curious about how a layering combo of the two would work. Vanilla Skin sounds lovely but the last Phlur fragrance I bought (Afterglow) had 0 longevity.

I was starting to suspect that the Dokdo cream was far too heavy for my skin type. I have no real issues with the toner, just wanted to try something new and the Numbuzin No. 1 claims to control oil.

What do we think?

Usually my packages get arrival scans within a day of departure. I guess it’s not too bad but still 🤷‍♀️

So I’ve gotten my hair bleached since middle school (I’m 20 now) but it never negatively impacted my curls because I spent a lot of $$$ on maintenance and treatments to keep it healthy. So even with consistent bleach jobs my curls remained okay. I have hard water, but even that never did anything bad to my hair.

Late 2025 I noticed my curls seemed more flat and kinda on the wavy side with less volume than they used to have. A few months ago, I decided I was done with bleach for a good while so that’s out of the picture.

My hair doesn’t feel damaged to the touch. It’s soft and I get maintenance trims on the dead ends. I was wondering if my hair just needs a curly cut, but I don’t know. Maybe the bleach did more damage than I thought?

Has anyone ever been able to get their curls and volume back? Did you get a new haircut, use certain treatments, etc?

Routine:

Biolage ultra hydra source shampo/conditioner

Shakira ”Curls Don’t Lie” curl cream and Joico “Curls Like Us” gel (applied using scrunch and praying hands method)

Lightly brush styled w/ Bounce Curl brush

Diffused

I use a silk pillow case to sleep; no refresh routine

So I have skin that leans oily.

For a while I always skipped moisturizer and went straight to sunscreen. That was when I recall my skin being mostly clear and having minimal texture. I never thought anything of it until I read a post somewhere encouraging using moisturizer and then layering sunscreen over it. I started doing that, but my skin quality has become more textured ever since early June of this year, despite not changing/adding any new products to my routine. I have more stubborn closed comedones, and even using BHA liquid 3x a week at night hasn’t significantly improved them.

Did I potentially mess up my skin this way?
