Mitchum stick here too.

I use a fragrance free soap bar all over to make sure I’m actually washing stuff off and not masking odour (even nice odour like perfume/body cream). You’d be surprised how often you’ll soap up but can still smell say a sun cream on your skin after rinsing.

If anyone really suffers with odour Hibiscrub is a body wash they use pre/post surgery. It kills all bacteria, yeast etc on the skin and stops it forming for hours. (Can’t get it in your eye or ears etc)
Clinisooth/Clinisept+ skin is another anitmicrobial that’s a watery spray, similar deal.
A bit like spraying dettol on a surface but for the body.

They can also help with broken skin conditions like eczema and acne, backne, cuts and abrasion etc, anything where bacteria can worsen them so not a bad ‘fist aid’ kind of item to have in.

Emptied a box of Tampax Compact and am now precariously embarking on my menstrual cup journey. I still have lots of pads which I'll use to gauge how useful the cup is, then hopefully empty those and just be on the cup and period pants. Anything I need to know/expect? Thanks

If you have a coil fitted I don't think you're meant to use cups. If you've not got a coil then you should be grand!

Finished my last skin&me tube before trying differin.

Also finished up a tub of Elemis pro collagen night cream. I had a sample and really loved it so bought the full size but now I'm kinda over it. It pilled over my skin&me regardless of how long I left it between steps and over time I started to dislike the smell. I still have the day cream to finish...

The ordinary argireline serum, “Botox in a bottle,” already purchased a replacement, I do notice a smoother forehead and less dryness with this. On my 3rd bottle - tattle recommendation

Is this gentler than retinol?

Do you know if you can get a tester of AKT? As don't want to spend out that much if it doesn't work for me!

I tried the L'oreal Wonder water instead (same type of product, lamellar water) and it is surprisingly really good. Can't go wrong for a fiver on offer in Boots. A noticeable difference when I use this, finished the bottle and going to repurchase.

I've been using this for a couple of years, and love it! I get it on Amazon subscribe and save as it's always around £5 or less, then get a 15% s&s discount. I think the usual £10 is too expensive in Superdrug/Boots etc and hate having to wait around for an offer!

Dr Dennis Gross Fill + Repair serum.
This was a travel size received in GWP beauty bag.
It was okay, didn’t do anything exceptional to my skin but obviously I only had about 2 weeks worth of a product so not long enough to tell. The full size is about £75 so I won’t be repurchasing.

Does the Jeju moisturiser have a strong scent ? What Is the texture like ?

I’ve been toying with the idea of trying it for a while but I’m so fussy with scents and texture. My favourite was the QI but I’ve used up all my stash and it is no more

Scent wise there is a soft scent when smelling the pot but it’s only slight once you’ve taken what you need and I don’t find it noticeable.
Texture wise I would say it’s different - it comes with a little spatula as it’s quite ‘firm/solid’ but it then rubs in really easily and absorbs quickly. Sounds odd but I quite liked that it wasn’t a ‘wet’ feeling cream.

I never used the QI one - does annoy me how they suddenly stop products with what feels like no warning!

I was looking at trying AKT (thanks to this thread!) and it says on their website they have a 30 day money back guarantee. You can ask for a full refund after 14 days of using the product and they will refund you.

I found a 25% discount code, but you have to pay for postage so it seems to work out better to subscribe for just 1 tube - then cancel the subscription afterwards!

The Vichey 72hr deodorant is great and I also find the AKT helps eliminate moisture not just odour

AKT stops the wetness as well. They say you can use it anywhere on your body but haven’t tried that yet.
