New name, same girls!

Let me reintroduce, the VS Social Thread!

Since the Social Threads seem to have been done away with, this is the new home of the VS Social Thread. We talk about everything from VS to Express to Beauty to Coupons to Hot Deals...and of course, our personal lives.

Roll call! Let's get back to what we do!

Awww... haha yeah. Hormones are caraaaazay. I admire trying to avoid them. nod If your problems were more than breakouts (hairloss, bone density, hot flashes, etc.) then your doctor might have you reconsider. Still, you may reconsider this avoidance when you hit menopause. I went through a pre-mature version of it and whooooammaaagawwd it is awful. For your skin, have you tried the Clarisonic? That thing is pretty amazing. Feels like it resets my skin when it's not behaving (if that makes any sense). I use that with Purity in the shower.
....
nod i have been using the clarisonic for some time now and i honestly think it's the root of all my problems, having sensitive skin and all. it helped for a bit... and now i think it's doing more harm than good. i'm putting it away and plan to only use it once in awhile... every day is probably too much for my sensitive skin.

i know you've got hormonal issues and it sounds awful - i would def reconsider if it were for other health issues. i actually think i have other health issues that are worsened by it so that's why i'm staying away for now.

I barely hit mine with the clarisonic each day. If I over use it my skin freaks out. No way it needs the entire time.

just looked up the ingredients. it's very heavy in 'cones... that's probably why my skin didn't love it. i'm pretty sure i'm sensitive to silicones (at least dimethicone). Frown too bad. it felt nice but i didn't love the effect afterwards.

link [makeupalley.com] for anyone interested... the ingredients are listed if you click on 'ingredients'.

vomit I just got sick. Happened so fast. I felt fine at 4 when ds and I got home from school.

I think you'll love the mousse. I put it on right after my regular lotion every night after my shower.

i think it does. i used to break occasionally but it's really helped. i rarely get break outs now. the skinceuticals is great. start with the .5 use it. if your skin is irritated wait for the redness to go away and then start back. your skin will get use to it. then work your way up to the 1%. i also love skin medica's aha/bha and the vivite is a good glycolic acid cream. the sheer transformation is just a moisturizer.

i can not take any bc. i have some weird antibody in my blood that increase my risk of strokes on bc.
I will keep that in mind! nod

Hope you aren't really coming down with something! hug

Quote from PordaPoddy :
About retinol - I've been lucky to never have needed a Rx for acne meds. I honestly can't believe they still prescribe Accutane. That stuff is horrible and IMO, they should only prescribe that to men since they regenerate their baby-making contribution. As women, what eggs we have are all we've got and I don't want to know what Accutane does to them that you need a monthly blood test to prove you're not pregnant b/c the drug is so bad it makes "flipper babies" for lack of a better term. Each pack comes with a diagram illustrating the birth defects that would happen if you were pregnant on it, I remember it was each blister in the pack had a pic of it! There are a lot of other options out there that are probably safer. I remember a college roomy of mine had something you had to keep refrigerated. Metrogel? Something like that. My brother switched to that too. Please look at the other options. /steps off soapbox

I'm not saying either the Sheer Transformation or the Night Gel have retinoic acid/vitamin a/retinol . I don't know, just that the Night Gel has some kind of acid in it (it burned in an area of broken skin). It's hard to figure out what is in his products!
I use the ROC copy cat retinol cream from Rite Aid, also I just got one from Puritan's Pride. [puritan.com]
I've been using the Tarte Maracuja oil and it's helped a bit. There was a time when I was experimenting with skin care and my goodness did my skin flare up. The oil has calmed it, but not help it go away.

For sure. I'll see when the time comes down to it. I have the acne where it grows really deep under the skin and it hurts like a mother. Then sometimes it will get better, but it usually doesn't and another one grows on top of it, so it's scarring on top of scarring. It's soo annoying. It doesn't help that I am OCD about picking at scabs.

Both my brother and DBF say that Accutane is best decision of their lives. I've see the yucky pictures on my brother's tablet booklet. Yuk I would never go on any medication while pregnant, so I figure, best to do this sooner rather than maybe eventually wanting a kid time. nod It attacks the liver and kidney, I think. Every month my brother gets a blood test, his friends ask if he's been giving blood shake head I tell him he should just ride the good samaritan thing laugh out loud But yeah, I mean, I see all the side effects and such and I just think it's so interesting hearing about it first hand and how all the levels are changing and such. But yes, if there is a better alternative, I will take it. Better than the scarring and the itchiness and pain. This never happened til I started working that horrid job since I never had a bad case of teenage acne I'm too old to be having this kind of acne!! Mad It makes me so Crying2 whenever DBF sees me and comments about how my acne is getting worse

I only use the Clarisonic about 2-3 times a week now. It really helps reset my skin like Porda says, but too much, my skin is not very happy at all. I still like using it though!

No - I only picked it up and held it up. I was going to guess xs but that review has me wondering. I'll try it next time I see it.

I think so. I went to return a dress in store and they kept trying to get me to exchange it. They said it can be an even exchange and they will match the same price I paid. Definitely give it a try. I don't see why not.
Quote from kurips :
$21 for my last order. could be lower with the current code.

ymmv.
Quote from nerdicus :
if it was during tick tock, i would suggest exchanging it without receipt. "i got it as a gift" and give them a different card/phone # to look it up.
Thanksss girls. Yup, very YMMV. The guy in front of me tried to return without a receipt and they wouldn't let him. So I asked if I could exchange it with another dress with the same original price. They refused to Frown Hehehe anyway moneyyy back in my pocket
