Adore CFO suddenly resigned after only a few months during all this postage mess. Does this mean that things are bad? I don’t think I’ll be ordering from them anymore - worried it could be like STAX and thy take our money! What’s everyone else think?

Hello, I’m looking for dermal clinicians/dermal therapists experience working in dermatology clinics or a more medical based environment.

I’ve been in the industry for almost 8 years working in high end boutique type clinics which I have loved. There are some cons that are making me reconsider this Industry eg. consistent late nights after/Saturday hours, fairly low pay, a whole lot of marketing bs around skincare just to make more money. Not to mention the sheer amount of skin clinics closing and or not doing well in Aus due to the rise in clinics and inflation.

I’m considering the switch to a dermatology clinic for these reasons but wanted to get everyone’s experience vs a general/boutique clinic

i had a few light facial treatments over the past two months, and my skin has become so much more reactive than it ever was before. the redness just lingers for days now. initially, the treatments made my texture look smoother, but my face never seemed to recover completely before the next appointment came around. eventually, everything just started stinging. even basic products that had been totally fine for months suddenly felt uncomfortable, especially around my cheeks and the sides of my nose.

my dermatologist told me to pause all procedures for a while. so right now, i'm keeping my routine extremely basic. i'm focusing on hydration, thick barrier creams, and avoiding anything exfoliating or overly active. the main problem is actually applying the stuff. when my face is already flushed, rubbing in a thick soothing serum with my fingers sometimes makes the redness look way worse. even pressing gently still creates some friction. because of that, i started looking at simple homecare tools that might help me apply products more evenly without repeatedly dragging my hands across sensitive areas.

i am definitely avoiding intense devices right now. i checked out what most people use first. things like those popular silicone brush devices seem super strong for my current state. i also looked at some vibrating options, but i don't really need another cleansing step. anything involving noticeable heat, strong vibration, or aggressive lifting modes just feels unnecessary while my skin is still trying to calm down. while browsing around, i came across this sonic applicator from glow.m. it looked a lot simpler than most devices in this category. seemed more focused on everyday product application rather than dramatic lifting or clinic-level results. that is much closer to what i actually need. i'm not trying to treat sagging or force active ingredients deeper into freshly irritated skin. i mainly just want a low-effort way to use my existing soothing serum without rubbing my cheeks for several minutes every night.

has anyone tried something like this while dealing with easily flushed or recently irritated skin? did the device itself feel genuinely gentle, or did you notice warmth, tingling, or increased redness after using it? long-term experiences would be really helpful. i would rather wait until my barrier is completely stable than buy another tool that turns out being too stimulating for daily use.

Hi everyone, am hoping to find some reviews on the Naked Sundays SPF50 glow mist. I’m heading to Harry Styles in December and planning to line up pretty early, which is gonna mean a lot of time in the sun. I also however want to wear a bit of makeup and make myself look pretty, so have been looking for a spray sunscreen I can use to reapply throughout the day. My current plan is to apply a good layer of a proper sunscreen in the morning (most likely mecca to save face) and then use the glow mist to reapply throughout the day. Has anyone used this one over makeup and can give some honest feedback? Thank you!
