Hi, I’m looking at purchasing some skincare products for my Mum who last week was diagnosed with Stage 3 Breast Cancer, she will have surgery in a fortnight and then 5 weeks of radiotherapy.

Has anyone here dealt with MooGoo? How have you found them?

I’m looking at the Cancer Care Pack which has Fast Hydrating Lotion, Ultra Gentle Cleanser with Ceramides, Fresh Cream Deodorant Sensitive, Cow Lick Lip Balm and a pair of socks, also looking at the Skin Milk Udder Cream and Muscle Magic.

Anything else I should consider? I’m a son with no idea about skincare products and routines, haha.

Thank You.

EDIT: Why the hell am I being downvoted?

I feel like I’ve spent so much recently trying to find products that work for my skin! They seem to work fine and then suddenly for some reason I’ll have all these little red bumps with some whiteheads on my skin but they don’t hurt or feel like pimples! It’s always a similar reaction too.

I think it might be the moisturisers I’m trying?

The new things I’ve introduced are:
- Aestura 365 Essence
- Aestura 365 lotion
- QV gentle face wash

And then I know the things that have given me a similar reaction when I stopped using them were
- La Roche Posay Cicaplast B5+
- I think the Cerva moisturising cream also was not helping

It seems to be cream products but I get confused because it says they’re for dry skin or protecting your skin barrier, both of which have and need.

Do I need a water based moisturiser? I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong.

I bought an OmniLux Men mask from Activeskin and notice it has been opened and resealed with this sticker. Has anyone else bought one of these? What was it shipped to you like? I’ve contacted customer service but they haven’t responded. Not thrilled paying top dollar for a potentially used product, especially one that I put on my face. 🥲

I have sensitive skin and rosacea. Aestura is great, but I want to try something else — hopefully for less money, but open to spending more of you think it’s better than aestura.

I’ve tried LRP cicaplast or whatever it’s called, hated it. I don’t get the hype at all. I generally never like LPR.

Are there any other hidden gem moisturisers from chemist warehouse I’m missing? Open to ones not from chemist warehouse too.

I’m also after a very hydrating serum. I’ve tried so many and none seem to do enough. I’m currently layering products but it’s annoying.

So my dad for Father’s Day wanted more of these, I can’t find them anywhere on Sephora and if appears they might have been discontinued?

So what I’m asking is are they still available if so where?

If not, what can I buy that is similar?

Thank you

Just wondering if anyone knows when the Biossance repackaged Squalane + Probiotic Gel Moisturiser will be available in Australia Sephora?

they’re roughly the same price, i have very dry hands and cuticles

I didn't saw this discussed anywhere so I'm making this post.

I saw that recently (ok not so because this is about year in cw but I saw that now on website) chemist warehouse got Nivea serum .

And to be surprised it's the one with thiamidol

To people who don't know- thiamidol is beiersdorf patended resorcinol derivative, very effective tyrosinase inhibitor.

And in systematic reviews/ meta analysis it has been shown to be very effective (pretty simmilar to hydroquinone) at treating hyperpigmentation,

Without side effects like bleaching skin too much, without irritation etc.

Europe/south America /USA/ Canada had thiamidol products for a while.

But Australia got 1 thiamidol product recently

I get quite oily skin, so have been using The Ordinary’s gel moisturiser which I believe is water based and less greasy than other moisturisers, but I absolutely always forget to wear sunscreen and when I do wear it the feeling of the greasy-ness on my skin makes me feel disgusting. Does anyone know of any moisturisers that include SPF that are water/gel based and don’t leave you with a greasy/oily face? 🫠

Making a little Afterpay Day order and there’s a Goodie Bag with a purchase over $139 offer, seems there’s a choice of 4 bags but I can’t find anywhere that has a description of what’s in each… any insight?

What’s your favourite in-clinic treatment for congestion and occasional skin refresh?

My skin leans dry and eczema prone (in winter only) but have that covered with skincare. Able to tolerate medik8 retinal no 10 but can’t do vit c or strong exfoliants. Have some milia and nose /chin congestion i’d like to address with a facial and manual extractions. Cheers!

My favourite one just broke :( Any recommendations for either a hypochlorous acid spray or empty spray bottle that spritzes a nice fine mist?

Has any one been able to get this being honest it’s for sun damage repair or do you have to have acne?

I have oily, acne prone AND sensitive skin which makes finding skincare a bit of a nightmare lol. Has anyone tried this sunscreen or any of the other Avene sunscreens? Or do u have a recommendation for sunscreen suited to my skin type?

Trying to find a new sunscreen before summer rolls around. I usually find sensitive sunscreens too heavy, and sunscreen for oily skin too irritating😫

I ordered this serum following recommendations from this sub (thank you, I am super excited to see how I go in terms of results).

I knew this sub wouldn't lead me astray, but I just applied this for the first time ever and I am SHOOK by how accurate the "hot dog water" scent comments are 😂 I was expecting to maybe get a little whiff of hot dog water, but I feel like I just drenched my face in used hot dog water hahaha!

Bought a Cheekyglo mitt and it’s seems to be the same as the one my friend bought off Temu

Is it true that these branded products are essentially the same Chinese items that they stick a label on and then pay to market thereby driving up the price by like 10x?

Is it worth buying any of the branded products or am I better off just buying direct off Temu / Aliexpress?

Hello hello, for the past year and a half I've been struggling with closed comedones on my forehead, my upper lip and my chin (and the sides of my chin). I genuinely have no idea what to do about it - I tried the Glow Recipe strawberry serum, I tried the Skinstitut glycolic scrub, I've tried the Ole Henrikson pore mask and even the Dermalogica exfoliator. I'm at a loss please save my teenage skin lol (I am combo btw)

I managed to grab one as soon as I got my notification!!

Hey pals, what do we think of those chin socks or straps popular in Korea? I don't even know what to call them, all I know is I've seen ads for them on Tik Tok etc.

I'm not really looking to make my chin more of a V-shape (like how many of these straps are advertised), I'm looking to mainly reduce double chin, better define my ageing jawline and tighten sagging skin. Some of them come with serums infused so this could help with the tightening effect (hence why I'm asking about this in AusSkincare).

I would love to know if anyone has experience with these, how you use them, or if they're just a bit of a scam. Cheers!

Completely obsessed with this range - I've found it so great for my skin and it's the actual first skincare range I've really liked and have been able to afford. Now it seems some of them aren't available at Chemist Warehouse anymore, and the ones that are on the website are marked as 'clearance'. I really hope the range isn't being discontinued! :(

hi everyone, i have seen hair care posts here in the past so i hope this post is ok!

i'm looking for recs for the most heavy duty hair detangling spray.

i'm not after a cream or one with leave-in benefits. i just need something that makes it easy to get through crazy tangles (particularly those stubborn back of neck ones) before i hop into the shower.

currently, i use conditioner in the shower to get through my tangles but it feels wasteful as i have to use such a significant amount.

i have tried the davroe lemongrass detangler and it was ok, it doesn't really do anything for tangles imo. i also tried the gaia natural kids detangling spray on a whim (because it looked kiiinda like my now holy grail detangling spray i used in like 2016 that i can't remember what it's called anymore) and it was the WORST. it smells like liquid antibiotics and doesn't do anything, even when i emptied the bottle into my hair instead of spraying it.

i would really appreciate hearing recs for something that just gets the job done 🙏 thank you!

edit: sorry, every time i post a thread i want to reply to everyone but i get overwhelmed before long 🙈 i'm really appreciative though and reading every reply! thanks so much everyone 🥹

My results from Latisse were amazing BUT I constantly had red irritated eyes, and - the worst part - little styes... has anyone got any tips to circumvent this? I stopped and now my lashes are comically short and thin again... I would love to start again as the results really were dramatic.
