2 trials running. One verdict is ready before the return window closes.
Day 14 scan due
Same mirror, same light as day 0. Takes about a minute.
Oct 23, Night Shift Retinal Cream
Checkpoint verdict: keep
Oil and redness both cleared the noise band before the return window closes. Pores need longer; I'll keep tracking them.
Oct 22, Calm Fix Serum
Oil is clearly down
Oil readings are past the noise band. Redness is moving the right way but hasn't cleared it yet.
Oct 18, Calm Fix Serum
Overlapping trial
Calm Fix Serum is also running. Redness gains during this window are likely the serum's, so I'm not crediting them to the cream.
Oct 16, Night Shift Retinal Cream
Breakouts are up: this looks like purging
The rise is inside the purge window and in your usual T-zone. It doesn't count against the cream. Keep going.
