Looking for a new moisturiser.

Hey all, I’m looking for a new product/s
I have dry 33 year old skin.

I’ve been using Estée Lauder - advanced night repair. It was okay but wasn’t amazing. I wanted something a bit more juicy. This made my skin dry

The Ella bache- eye cream is good, but I fluctuate between the two night creams. They are good. But wondering if there’s something more oily and hydrating ??

Korean skincare SPF in Aus

I've been using the Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Moisture Airyfit Daily Sunscreen (SPF 50+)

How do I know if it's actually 50+ (or what SPF rating it would be) by Australian standards?

It's been fine here in Melbourne, for indoors and during Winter. But heading into Summer, and actual sun exposure, I'm unsure if this is enough.

If anyone can point me in the right direction of how to find this info, that would be great!

🙏

Remedy released an Azelaic Acid serum

In light of seeing another post about fellow Azelaic Acid users struggling to find Finacea in stock, I thought I’d let everyone know Remedy released a 15% Azelaic Acid Complex in serum form. (10% pure, fully solubilized azelaic acid and 5% glycinated azelaic acid an azelaic acid derivative).

Between this and the Geek & Gorgeous PSA, these might be some genuine good alternatives to look into.

(Would love to know if anyone has already tried this)

Nivea Lip balm made my lips dark and pigmented

I have eczema prone skin, as long as I am regular with my skincare routine I don't have any other skin problems to deal with. Was so happy to see how affordable the Nivea Lip Balm is but after using it for a week I noticed my lips had dark spots :(. I switched to using Extra Virgin Coconut oil instead and my lips were back to pink. Has this happened with anyone else or is it a sensitive skin thing?

Edit: Thank you for letting me know it works alright for most people. Must be an ingredient reaction. Thank you everyone!

Hair Straightner help

Hi, hope hair related questions are allowed here. I am looking to buy a new hair straightner and the Babyliss Pro graphite seems to have good reviews. It's original price is 249AUD but Big W marketplace is selling it for 89AUD! Do you think this is legit? Has anyone ordered hair tools from Marketplace? Or if anyone has recommendation for different straightner please let me know.

Any advice is appreciated. TIA x

Strange Skin?

Does anyone else have strange skin that responds in ways that research says it shouldn't? I'm looking for other people who understand my struggle and frustration to commiserate with.

My skin gets super oily within 5 minutes after I put anything with niacinamide on it. I know research says that niacinamide balances oil production but you can literally see the oil forming on my skin. It doesn't matter if I put it on my face or my body, even my feet don't like niacinamide. My dermatologist wasn't sure why it happens and it's not like I have redness or irritation it's so odd. Now I can't use most acne or oily skin products because it's in so much stuff!

Anyone else in a similar situation?

Having a little giggle

I had a little giggle of the latest beauty scandal and the brands hyping each other up over it, and being good sports with their marketing teams 🤣

Basically “So Huda was sold an "exclusive" package design that only her brand would have (the eye patches are dispensed and cut one at a time) but clearly the manufacturer has sold this "exclusive" package design to FOUR brands: Huda Beauty, Fenty Skin, Glow Recipe + a K beauty brand in Korea”
