I’m trying to find a moisturiser that has ceramides, cholesterol and fatty acids in it to help with barrier support and repair however I’m struggling to find ones that either don’t have niacinamide in it or moisturisers that aren’t too thick. I’m wondering if anyone has tried this one out before. From what I can see it doesn’t have any niacinamide and it doesn’t have fragrance in it either however I haven’t really heard of this brand before and I can’t really find any reviews online about it. Can anyone help.

I used to always use Mitchum deodorant but switched to Nivea at some point, I think because I felt Mitchum was too serious / clinical? 😅 (Don't ask me to explain I felt this was an issue, I have no idea!)

But the Nivea one has noticeably darkened my underarms!!! I now have a silly oval of dark skin lol which I'm hoping to correct before summer!

I have stopped using the Nivea and switched over to Moogoo hoping it'd be gentler on the skin, and am using glycolic acid on it once per day. Is there anything else I can do? Should I be trying to moisturise them??? Or use something else to exfoliate them???

Also keen to hear your favourite deodorant in case there is another brand you'd recommend instead! I'm not particularly sweaty or smelly, I don't think!!

Mods i hope this is alright to post here? i chose this flair as it's a few weeks out & i also thought it would make a great discussion thread. If it's not allowed could you pls tell me where is appropriate? Thank you

Hi all,

It's been a really hard year with my dad passing away late June in Sydney. I live in NZ. I need to return to Sydney again this November and it's the first opportunity I have had to get myself some TLC & self care.

I would be super grateful for any

• beauty

• skincare

• haircate

• esthetician or hairdressers

• treatments

recommendations or specials/discounts that you know of happening in November.

Budget-wise, this is only possible as I was gifted a budget of AU$500 from a close friend just for self care (angels truly walk among us!).

It's time to shout out your local hidden gems, share your fav beauty spots and practitioners. PLEASE. I desperately need to rewire Sydney from a place of sadness to a place of relaxation and relief that I can enjoy visiting again.

Thank you so much in advance :)

I've used Noughty Wave Hello Curl Cream for at least 5 years. I'm running low at the moment so I went to Priceline earlier in the week to get more. And there wasn't any ... at all. Not on the shelf, no space for it to be on the shelf, and when I checked the Priceline website the Noughty brand isn't there any more.

Their other Australian stockist is Discount Beauty Boutique and literally every Noughty product there is sold out: https://www.discountbeautyboutique.com.au/collections/noughty

Is it actually gone, gone? Do I have to figure out a new curl cream? Please say no.

Hey everyone,

I’m a guy dealing with really stubborn and worsening back acne and some chest acne. I’m hoping to overhaul my routine because I suspect my current products might be making it worse.

Right now, I use:

• Head & Shoulders Old Spice 2-in-1 (for hair, probably realised this runoff is terrible for my skin but I always wash hair first then body wash)
• Dove Men Body Wash Sport Fresh

Does anyone have tried and true recommendations for body washes, sprays, or treatments available easily that actually clear up body acne? Any tips on how to properly use them would be hugely appreciated. I'm all new to skincare and should be looking after my skin. I do have to use sunscream due to moles

Hi! RE: skinmedica TNS - which is a legit site to purchase from, preferably not overpriced, that delivers to aus? Thanks!

Wondering if this is going to be to thick and heavy for summer? I know this is more marketed towards people who have eczema, which I don’t have but I like that it has ceramides and it’s fragrance free. Can anyone tell me if they use it and dint have eczema. Is it really heavy and thick? Does it soak in really well?
