The top shelf of my fridge is basically all skincare🤣☠️ face masks and face mists nice and crispy from the fridge feels SO good in the summer…

Glad to see they ditched the boxes! They honestly could do this with sooooo many products.

Got a bunch of new masks and finally found the scar cream and the Paul Frank wipes! I’m glad to see their using less packaging for their eye masks. They no longer come in boxes. Also, I’ve never seen this Argan oil before..

Stole this photo from someone’s post earlier. All these shaving products look cool, but they’re obviously intended for women. I guess to use on legs and under arms. But I’m wondering if these can be used on the face? I mean… I know I CAN, but should I?

I have googled this to no end and all I get are vague descriptions and conflicting advice. Maybe you use the same products and can help me out? Or better yet, maybe you have advice from a doctor on this. I do have an appointment to see a dermatologist but it’s six months away!

Ok, so I used topical minoxidil for a year consistently and didn’t experience any results. No shedding, no growth. Nothing.

Researched that I am probably a non-responder. It needs an enzyme… Yada yada. I found that adding tretinoin to your scalp can basically turn you into a responder and allow minoxidil to work.

I considered taking the minoxidil pill, but because I am on a calcium channel blocker, verapamil, my doctor did not think that was wise since it can cause steep drops in blood pressure and tachycardia. And since I already suffer from heart rhythm issues I won’t be taking that route. Topical minoxidil only for me.

So to my question, here are the things I would like to use, but I have no idea really how to layer them or even if I should. How much time do I wait in between applications? So on and so forth.

1. ⁠A derma stamp. Using it to microneedle my scalp. This alone can stimulate hair growth and improve thickness. I’m just not sure how often and when to use it.
2. ⁠Topical minoxidil. I have both the foam and liquid. Thought about using the foam in the daytime and the liquid at night. The point is I will be using this twice a day in the morning and at night.
3. ⁠Tretinoin gel. I’m not sure how often to apply it or when.
4. ⁠The Ordinary’s multi peptide hair serum. This isn’t a must, but I would like to include it in my regimen. Again, just have no clue when to do this in the layering process.
5. ⁠Lastly, I will use ketaconazole shampoo. Nizoral brand shampoo/conditioner in one. I’m just not exactly sure how often I need to use it.

The priority here is the minoxidil. I’m also taking oral dutasteride.

OK, hit me with those comments, please!

I finally found the “wave 37” line! Gotta say I do love that packaging. I’m a sucker for a few packaging and will purchase something on that factor alone.🤷🏻‍♂️
I’ve tried all four products and honestly enjoy all of them. The face mist is nice and fine and feels really good. I popped it right in the fridge. I used the cleanser, the mask and the moisturizer and loved all of them. The cleanser was light but moisturizing. My face felt good after using it. Wasn’t drying. The mask is a nice light gel that absorbed into my face like crazy there wasn’t much to rinse off after 15 minutes.

I haven’t purchased the “Poppin” lotion before because it looks really gimmicky and honestly it’s intended for kids I think. BUT not only is it really cute packaging, the stuff feels amazing! It’s nice and light. It’s really a gel, not a cream or lotion. The fragrance is actually very subtle which I like and is really nice for hot summer days. Really liked them much better than I expected.

I’m a man and don’t wear makeup but I bought the cleanser just to see how it would do. I do wear sunscreen most days. But honestly, it’s not a regular facial cleanser. It’s just an oil that removes makeup. It’s really just a makeup remover. It’s meant to be put on a pad and then wiped across your face. So I don’t imagine I’ll be using it again.

Let me know if y’all agree or not with me about some things!

Found these foot masks, under eye massager, nail strengthener gel and contact solution. Looks like the contact solution is a pretty good bio true dupe! I’ve used it already and can’t tell any difference from the contact solution I’m using now, except for the $12 price difference!

Only used and $.75 more! 🤣☠️ I can’t with these thrift stores…

Found some of these at one of my local dollar trees and I picked up a couple. So glad I did! This nighttime moisturizer is so nice and light, makes my skin feel very soft and hydrated. The pleasant fragrance is extremely light and subtle. It’s perfect for hot summer nights.

Some of my thoughts on the Orchid body line at Dollar tree.

So you can’t smell it before you buy! If you did, you would throw it and run. This doesn’t smell anything like a peach. It’s like a musky old lady perfume. 🤮

As much as I love using them, I’m always skeptical of Dollar Tree products. I mean, biotin is literally the last ingredient listed 😑. BUT I’ve used this twice now, as an overnight treatment in my hair. I get it nice and wet before bedtime and then wash it out in the morning. And I swear my hair looks great after I use it. I’m always concerned of a placebo effect with a lot of of these products so chime in on this one!

Let me know if you agree/disagree!

BUT i’ve only seen it at one location and they haven’t had it in stock for a couple weeks. I’m wondering if it’s something that was discontinued? Also, the mist on this comes out like air! It is the finest mist sprayer I’ve ever encountered. I would love to buy some extra bottles to use as misters.

My prescription has been sitting here like this for the last 10 days. Most of the time when I call the number it just rings and rings and then I’m forced to leave a message because no one answers the phone. If I’m lucky, I’ll get a call back from someone who just tells me they will update their system. I have emailed support and have yet to receive a response. Is this some kind of joke?

At this point, I just want a refund so I can use someone else and get my medication. Today was my next dose and I can’t take it.

I understand some delays now and then, however, if it’s a very long delay, I need to be notified before I give you my money! You should be telling your customers that it may be weak before they get their medication.
