Hello and welcome to the Alter-Daily Help Thread! The purpose of the ADHT is to ask simple questions, troubleshoot routines, get quick recommendations, prevent the sub from being too cluttered, and to guide new users.
ADHT Rules: If questions or comments break the rules or are inappropriate, the report button is the fastest way for the mod team to see it and address the problems.
Build Me A Routine, /r/AsianBeauty! Please refrain from just stating a skin concern then expecting people to build a routine from scratch. It is important to do due diligence in understanding your skin type and needs. Learn more here in The New User Guide. You can also search the subreddit here.
Non-AB questions or comments. Having non-AB products in your routine is totally fine! Getting specific advice/recommendations is not allowed, though welcomed in our Daily Anything Goes thread. See our rules on non-AB here
Rude comments and snark. Fairly self explanatory but for more detail, check out our Posting Guidelines
When directing someone to the sidebar provide specific links. i.e. for someone asking about Allergies or Beginner Guides, link them to the specific subsections within AB University, rather than saying it’s in the sidebar.
Finally, a reminder that no one is obligated to answer your questions. If you have repeatedly asked the same question without a response, it may be best to review and see if it can be reworded or if the information is already in the thread or readily available in the sidebar materials.
Remember that all skincare is individual and Your Mileage May Vary with recommendations. We are enthusiasts, not doctors, and we cannot provide you with medical advice. Speak to a medical professional if your skin concerns are affecting your well-being.

I’m looking for dupe recommendations for the Nature Republic PROBIO Essence Cushion in shade 21 Light Beige. I bought it when I was in japan a few years ago, and I doubt I’ll be able to either a. find it anywhere online and b. get it before the tariffs. I’d still love to know if any one knows any dupes or similar light weight, spf 30+++, foundations with a similar shade.

I have dry, yet sensitive and clog-prone skin that still produces oil. This makes finding a foundation incredibly difficult; most either cling to dry patches, separate from oil and sweat, or cause a reaction.
My perfect match was the discontinued A’pieu Wonder Tension Pact. Since then, nothing has compared, though the Unleashia and Clio Glow cushions are the closest I’ve found.
I also struggle with shade matching. As a cool-toned 23C, most cushions in 23 are too yellow, while cool-toned lines often run too light.
I know it’s a long shot, but I’m hoping someone might know of a foundation or cushion with a similar formula or ingredients to the A’pieu line. Any suggestion is appreciated🙏
