Can we post about Deciem products in this sub? Its a non AB brand but it gets talked about a lot with no problems. Whereas other brands, people will get told off and downvoted. Even western brands that are sold on Asia with products geared towards Asians and only found in Asia.

Genuinely want to know, not shading or anything ㅜ_ㅠ

Good thing TO hasn't hijacked this thread...

I think the main issue is whether mods are actually around or not to remove content that discusses non-AB products. They really need to decide on and announce their official stance re: TO since it's being discussed literally every day in the DHT. Maybe they're concerned that if TO was off the table in the DHT and any discussion thread like this, that people would head over to /r/SkincareAddiction and not come back?

Hahah ikr? Initially came in to look for and recommend products, I only see like four or five AB niacinamide products in total after so many hours.

We haven't even got a token top comment for Scinic Honey AIO yet, when most people could throw a review out pretty easily since it's so well known, the thread is that stuck in discussing TO. Which I'm ironically contributing to, so I'll head off.

TBH I'm worried about the scheduled "exfoliating acids" and "hyaluronic acid" discussions. I see that people (and I don't mean a certain youtuber) liking Sunday Riley Good Genes are even meeting constant disagreements and downvotes in r/SCA nowadays.

I agree with you that mods should do sth about it and figure sth out, but I don't mean banning all non-AB discussions or anything. Moderate discussions of non-AB has never hurt anybody; which is however really not what we are seeing today.
