Now that I'm in my 30s, I find my skin has transitioned away from combination/oily skin to being dry. The texture is quite creamy it feels really moisturizing- which is great for my skin as it is now.
Initially on application, I felt a warming, not quite burning sensation. I also had some skin flaking. The warming sensation and flaking lasted for ~8 days for me. I definitely recommend some daily gentle exfoliation to help with the flaking. After that, it was great! If you have sensitive skin, I'd be a bit more cautious- start applications every other day, and slowly ramp up to twice daily.
I received the fragrance-free version which I really appreciate it. I don't like seeing "fragrance" or "parfum" in ingredients, it seems unnecessary and increases the likelihood of irritation. Plus, strong fragrances give me a headache. Without any fragrance added, the cream still has a pleasant slightly sweet smell.
In terms of efficacy, I've tried several non-prescription retinols as well as prescription ones. And I can say with confidence that its definitely one of the best and effective non-prescription retinols. Not quite as effective as prescription ones- but thats to be expected.
Its also quite affordable compared to higher end skincare brands with the same efficacy.
All in all, would definitely recommend to others in their 30s that want to be proactive in keeping their skin wrinkle-free and youthful.

Amazing!! I’ve tried every purple/blue shampoo out there and nothing compares to Fanola. It works just as well as a toner. I have both the No Yellow and the No Orange. I use the No Yellow when my hair’s an ashy blonde and No Orange when it’s an ashy dark blonde/light brown.
What's especially unique about this one is that it's REALLY HARD to find blue shampoos - which work much better for darker colours (dark blonde and light brown) compared to purple shampoos.

I bought the Huda New Nude palette prior to purchasing this and I can confirm the colours are spot on! I would say the glitter is easier to apply from the UCANBE palette, but more of a chunky (larger) texture in the Huda palette.

I switched to Apple in 2007 (from Windows) and have never looked back. The MacOS ecosystem is so intuitive to use, their trackpads work better than any I've ever used (performance, functionality, etc) and the actual laptop itself is aesthetically pleasing.
When I initially switched, there were a ton of things that weren't optimized for the Apple products, but I've seen that change dramatically in the past few years. I no longer have to boot into Windows as often (I've bootcamped my laptop so that I can run Windows when needed), because I have less need to use programs that only work on Windows OS.

This 1st generation iPad Pro is getting a bit dated now, and I've been eyeing the new models (which are beautiful!!). When it comes time to switch, I would not hesitate to get the newest model.
