Blunter view. At six of eight, the behaviour is the message whether or not they mean it as one. You can keep the friendship, just move it to the tier where you see them when you see them and don't plan around it. That's not a punishment, it's accuracy.

Some rough numbers from my own corner, which is small scale lab work. A project that produces one paper typically runs eighteen months to three years, and of the ideas we take seriously enough to spend a week on, maybe one in five survives contact with a pilot experiment. The single figure in the paper that looks like a clean result is usually the fourth version of that experiment, with the first three having taught us that our measurement was picking up something else. None of that is hidden, it is just not interesting enough to write down.

The honest labelling is the whole ballgame. Exploratory work presented as if it had been predicted in advance is where most of the trouble comes from.

Buy the largest size the brand sells. The per-ml cost drops enough that the rationing instinct disappears on its own.

Once in the dark is a good specific instruction. Doing that this weekend.

Whichever you pick, commit for six weeks and don't re-evaluate weekly. Half the failure in this kind of question is switching approach after nine days and never getting past the initial awfulness of either one.

One kind note about her: she probably has no idea. Households change when a couple properly moves in together and nobody sends a memo. She's likely doing what was fine a year ago and will be mortified rather than offended.

Small ones along the jaw specifically, check what touches your face. Phone screen, pillowcase frequency, hair products, the strap of anything. I chased a product for two months and it turned out to be a new conditioner.

Track it for eight weeks and then look at the sheet rather than at how it feels. Feeling automatic lags the behaviour badly, and people quit at week six convinced nothing has changed while looking at 38 out of 42 days.

Scan the ingredient list for the usual stingers even in gentle creams: fragrance, a highish alcohol content, or one of the preservatives a lot of people react to. If one's in there you can find a ceramide cream without it and skip the guessing entirely.
