Hi all,
I have mild rosacea and just generally 'off' looking skin, and coming from r/SkincareAddiction, it seems azelaic acid is one of the few things that actually helps. So I want to try it. Does anyone else use this, and where did you get it? What products are you using?
The only one I seem to be able to find that I can get in the UK is this, from Paula's Choice:
But can anyone recommend any alternatives? Something more natural? Or is this reasonably okay? I just don't want to put needless crap on my face.
I'm not good with reading ingredient lists and I've spent countless hours reading on r/SkincareAddiction already, I just can't do it any more.
This whole endeavour began as an attempt to improve my skin so I could quit wearing toxic foundation. I also ordered some samples of natural mineral foundation to try, but I've not had luck with any in the past so I'm not holding my breath.
Any suggestions, recommendations, advice appreciated. Should I just take the plunge and try the product?
Thank you so much.
Hello r/healthcare,
I'm looking for experts to answer some questions I have about the ACA and why it failed/didn't succeed the way its creators envision it to. I have a basic understanding of the ACA, and why theoretically it was initially projected to succeed. I am now trying to understand the reasons for the failures. The following are my questions, and are based on points made by a study released by the Heritage Foundation.
Here are the studies/news articles I'm referencing

Thanks again for your input on these questions. I'm happy to entertain follow-up questions/discussion!
Hey there. Been looking at a lot of scrub recipes lately, and they tend to have things like lemon or orange essential oils in them. I thought that citrus essential oils were phototoxic? I had a terrible allergic reaction to cassia and eucalyptus oils once because I put them in my bath water, not knowing that they're never ever supposed to be used undiluted and that cassia shouldn't really go on skin at all. I ended up in the ER with an IV full of benadryl. I definitely don't want that to happen again. Is there a safe way to use citrus oils on skin?
I started to shower with a freezing water, i mean its really really col and i can even feel my skin go granular, i feel really refreshed after baths and it makes me feel good. Is it unhealthy?
A Single Payer alternative for a capitalist economy
We are often reminded that America is the only developed nation without universal healthcare coverage. America also has the most expensive healthcare system (by orders of magnitude) in the world, from which you would immediately conclude that the answer is obvious — implement a single-payer system. Many politicians have made it a career goal to enact a single-payer system, praising it as the obvious solution.
The phrase ‘single payer’ is really more a reference to a healthcare philosophy than a specific policy. Whether the U.S. adopts a full coverage single payer model where the government manages and pays for everything or merely pays for a minimum safety net is critically important.
Unlike car insurance, healthcare comes uniquely wrapped in moral concerns, with unique boundary conditions that must be designed to be upfront otherwise the system unravels.
Today, because the consumer is not a customer (i.e. makes payment decisions), the system is not optimized for consumer health. If you’ve ever received medical bills, you understand this.
The customer of the healthcare provider is the insurance company (i.e. the payer). The customer of the insurance company is the employer. Because no one is financially incentivized to improve health outcomes, America continues downward on a spiral of sickness.
I am curious to know about drinking alcohol and what its effect is on intelligence. I am in year 12 on straight A’s doing fairly difficult subjects like biology and geography. Though I don’t drink very often I do smoke a fair amount of weed.
I have schoolies in a few months and am wondering will drinking excessively over the 3 days of schoolies like everyone else actually have an effect on my IQ and intelligence long term?
I'm writing a fiction story and am wondering about something I've seen on TV, and whether it would be a plausible scenario...a doctor is dating someone and that someone gets injured. Doctor friend takes them to the hospital or clinic and gives them stitches without any paperwork involved. Is this a possibility in real life? Could a doctor provide (minimal) tests and treatment - like X-rays and stitches - at no charge for a friend/relative, whether or not the friend/relative has insurance?
