The Ordinary azelaic acid at £5.50 has transformed my skin.“You can’t get get a cheap product with active ingredients in it”
I just can’t.....
If someone tags her on Instagram and anyone says anything in the ensuing comment thread that challenges her Skincare Queen status, she will wade in more often than not. I think she watches her mentions like a hawk. She's clearly very invested in her image and cannot abide ANY dissent. No shock given she basically encourages a cult around herself like no other. Vile woman.She sees these things because sometimes ‘fans’ or freaks see people comment on her and helpfully forward it to herThen she will choose whether to wade in with her size 10 gazelles, or not, as the case may be.
In my view, especially the example above, it just makes her look desperate. She wasn’t involved in the conversation, it was just people having a general chat, let them chat, why try and justify your behaviour
Honestly still making myself chuckling thinkiong of it the next day. Thankfully none of the boomers in my life know who Caroline isHyram for Boomers omfgtitle for next thread

Cerave does 200ml of the best moisturizer my very reactive skin has ever encountered for at the moment for £6.50 on Amazon. Altruist which has the best filters out there does two SPF50 100ml for £8 or two 200ml SPPF 30 for £8.75. There are supermarket sunscreens that are very good that cost even less. Of course, it's possible to cost less when you don't spend huge money on advertising bugdets, spokesmodels, fancy packaging, and endlessly giving away product, parties, free trips to silly places and cash in huge amounts to influencers. Most skincare ingredients are not expensive at all, in fact many great ingredients are dirt cheap.The Ordinary azelaic acid at £5.50 has transformed my skin.
Haha, I remember Anne French! Very 80s! Didn't realise it was still around! My standard reliable cleanser is Simple's Purifying Cleansing Lotion. Can buy it for under £2 where I live. No wonder Simple is on CH's 'Cliff' list. I like their Refreshing Facial Wash Gel too, for mornings. Very, very mild, no foaming, but cleans my face of the night's oils and so on without any stripping effect. Again, around £2. Look at me, not 'caring' about my skin, by using products that help keep it calm and unirritated, for chump change. What a loser, eh?That cleanser under £20 claim is ridiculous. We’ve been told for years that cleanser is definitely something you can save on, because it spends hardly any time on your skin.
my favourite cleanser is actually Anne French, gets everything off and is the only thing that works for my skin when it gets all wintry and eczema-y.
Yeah, never tried The Ordinary, but it's obvious from their success that you can do 'actives' for pretty damn cheap.ETA: if the story is true, Brandon Truaxe (RIP) started The Ordinary when he saw a beauty company’s accounts and how huge their markup was.
Another thing which massively helped my face was ditching foaming cleansers. I don't like balms or creams either. Surprisingly the one which works best is Dermol 500 eczema handwash which I was already using on my sore hands - half a litre for about a tenner.That cleanser under £20 claim is ridiculous.

Thanks for the heads up on this, I needed a new tube and was waiting for an offer!Cerave does 200ml of the best moisturizer my very reactive skin has ever encountered for at the moment for £6.50 on Amazon.
I used Dermol for years! Mostly the moisturizer, but I used the wash for a bit too in the shower.Another thing which massively helped my face was ditching foaming cleansers.

I use the original Cerave cream for my face, but I buy the big 177ml tubes rather than a tub (don’t like the idea of dipping my fingers in) and I just stocked up the other day when Look Fantastic had an offer on.Cerave does 200ml of the best moisturizer my very reactive skin has ever encountered for at the moment for £6.50 on Amazon.

I've seen Caroline push the idea that any cleanser under £20 is not 'an investment in your face' kind of thing. Just pulled that amount out of her arse as if the price equates directly with the ability of a product to clean your face. That's the mercenary, manipulative, greedy saleswoman in her, appealing to guilt and emotion, telling customers they don't care about their skin if they don't spend x-amount on the product she wants to sell and make money from. She's utterly abominable, and I don't get why more people don't see through her because it's so obvious with everything she does that she doesn't care about your bank balance or your skin, she mainly cares about her bottom line. She's the counter saleswoman who'll push a whole unsuitable line on a customer with promises and guilt trips and underhand insults, because she's getting commission on every product she sells.
Well, it's that culty thing again. One feature of a cult is that it will take up more and more of your time and energy, not to mention money, the deeper you get into it.She's really trying to get people to panic buy. Also, what grown adults have 4 hours free in the evening to watch a live then queue to get into an ill equipped online store to buy a kit?! It does seem realise odd to announce products then immediately launch, can't quite figure that out.
Her scheduling is shocking. Why not do it over the bank holiday weekend when (most) people have more time to pay attention? No, let's schedule it for the day everyone returns to work. Idiotic.She's really trying to get people to panic buy. Also, what grown adults have 4 hours free in the evening to watch a live then queue to get into an ill equipped online store to buy a kit?!
