Retired Products

Fine. Not gentlest cleanser I've tried, but not atrocious if my skin barrier isn't f*cked up. I've been moving away from CeraVe products, though, as I seem to have better luck with Cetaphil and Vanicream from American drug store brands.

Fine, I suppose. Doesn't fit into my routine well. Weird comments on the label about "vortexed and magnetized" water, so I definitely wouldn't repurchase (to avoid supporting unscientific BS). Gifted away.

I'm not sure I ever actually used this. Gifted away.

I don't think I ever got around to trying this, as it was on my list of things to try before I f*cked up my skin barrier in summer 2023. Doesn't fit with my current routine.

Sample. I think I tried this once or twice? Didn't make much of an impression. Another generically gentle cleanser.

Sample. Fine? Hate the tub format and there are plenty of cheaper, better moisturizers.

Part of the routine that f*cked up my skin barrier in summer 2023. Pretty sure I managed to sensitize my skin to SA, sadly.

Part of the routine that f*cked up my skin barrier in summer 2023. Not sure if this specifically contributed, though perhaps the Butyloctyl Salicylate added to the SA overload.

Nice finish, but very silicone-y feeling.

Loved the old version of this cream. New version has coconut oil, so I put off trying it for ages (new version currently in occasional use/testing).

Another generically gentle cleanser. Was one of several I tried when skin barrier was severely damaged. Generally fine, but did sting a little when skin was at it's worst.

Works reasonably well and easy to find. Texture isn't my favorite and it doesn't layer well.

Includes SA and silicones, plus it's very expensive.

Sample. SA and denatured alcohol? No thanks.

Sample. Silicone city.

Fine, I guess? I've kind of given up on FAB as a brand.

Sample. Siliconesssssssss

Sample. Part of set, unfortunately plenty of silicones.

The first AB sunscreen I tried. Left me quite oily by the end of the day, but it introduced me to sunscreens that didn't suck.
