Thank you @makeitup305 @curlychiquita @Sunnysmom @lmaster !

@bloopkitten When you say “nothing seems to work,” do you mean everything irritates your skin, or is there something specific you want skincare products to do for your skin (besides not tick it off)? Since you’re in your early teens with super sensitive skin, you’re probably better off with a very simple skincare routine: Gentle cleanser - Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser is a good basic option. CeraVe and Cetaphil also make good gentle cleansers. e.l.f. Pure Skin Cleanser is a good non-lathering cleanser that plays nice with my skin when it’s in angry reactive mode (this cleanser contains soothing colloidal oats). If you want to use a makeup remover first, consider Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micellar Water; that’s a nice gentle one. Moisturizer - Vanicream Moisturizing Lotion, or if you want something thicker/richer, Vanicream Moisturizing Cream. My daily moisturizer is CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion, but when my skin’s irritated, Vanicream’s lotion saves me. Since I mentioned e.l.f., you may wanna try their Pure Skin Moisturizer. Broad spectrum sunscreen that’s at least 30 SPF - your hyper sensitive skin might like a zinc oxide sunscreen. Native makes a good unscented one for face and another for body, and you can use the body one on your face. (The body version’s a larger tube and costs less per ounce than the face version.) If you have a local Trader Joe’s, I think they still sell a mineral sunscreen that’s not expensive. The only reason to add anything to that routine is if you have a specific skin issue to treat. Otherwise, you don’t need toners, exfoliants, serums, etc. Besides, with very sensitive skin, the fewer products you throw at it, the better.

@makeitup305 , Being an online only would've likely worsened it. From my understanding, "the next big thing" shelf space is too competitive and usually BIPOC brands pop up there. Because this current cycle of makeup focuses on what I'll call in my perspective, "clean girl aesthetic+ it brands" it can't fit because the "it" brands just produce variations of the viral product over and over and over. If you've ever detected subtext in my post that "current makeup is boring" well, 👏🏽👏🏽. Anything outside of that gets deregulated and often BIPOC have to work thrice as hard because equality is a game. On its own, it is a marketing technique. I hoped better for the graduates of Sephora's Accelerate program, but you barely hear about it. You have to go looking for updates vs Sephoria 2022 where it was highlighted (again, probably mostly marketing since we were all at home). Equity is rarely a part of the conversation and equality+ equity is what inclusivity is really about. If you can't secure capital, you can't expand. Why couldn't she secure capital? Hmmm. 🤔. Mmmhmm. The lip treatment oil I think was the first thing to go really viral, so that's where you saw so many variations, so if it was never available to try in store, I imagine returns would have been more so because it went viral and you see how the general consumer behaves. Viral products get returned A LOT from what I hear. I think the reason why a lot of this is also upsetting this because is not a new thing. I think a lot of people (🙋🏽‍♀️) were thinking Ami Colé would be here for longer. At least Diarrha didn't get priced out of her company. That's usually how this goes.

I really like Olaplex No. 7 Bonding Frizz Reduction & Heat Protection Hair Oil and OUAI St. Barts Hair Oil 1.5 oz / 45 ml

@LiLii22 it looks to be the old packaging. It was switched a few years ago so your product might be old?
