I'm thinking of trying Timeless 20% Vitamin C + E Ferulic Acid Serum. The E and Ferulic acid make it much more stable so it doesn't oxidize as quickly. It's a dupe for a Skincueticals product that costs $160 fucking dollars. I'm worried though because the ph is low so it might eat my face.

Forgive me, b/c I haven't read up, but you keep your C in the fridge, right? Also acids work better/eat your face less if you gradually lower your skin PH via cleanser/toner, ideally to at/around 5.5. My favorite toner for this is the Mizon AHA/BHA, but it was out of manufacturing for a while.

Well, with orange walls and lack of Pop Tarts, I'm not sure the Tylenol will be strong enough. But I'm on my way.
all i can do is laugh

<3 You're the best.



hot damn, that's intense.
For those of us who work better/more efficiently with negative consequences than positive reinforcement, intense is sometimes called for. I'm one of those people. "Get this done and I can have a cookie?" Nah, didn't want the cookie anyway. "Get this done or literally be dropped into a pit of starving alligators?" It was done two hours ago in triplicate.

I think I've visited this before, I was always a tiny bit scared I would lose the words I typed. Is it pretty decent with not just disappearing?

Just make sure kamikaze mode isn't on. That's the one that eats words if you're not going fast enough.

I use the Mizon AHA/BHA too! I also use a low ph cleanser, of course. I need a pretty short wait time on any acid so I've been experimenting on that. I do store the Vitamin C in the fridge but I just go through it pretty slowly because my face can't handle the L-AA more than once or twice a week. I'm trying to build it up slowly because I like the results. What Vitamin C serum do you use? Right now, I'm just using El Diablo but it's a C derivative so it's not as potent.
