Night mode is here โ and a standing offer
Someone wrote : "logging my evening routine in bed with the lights off feels like staring into the sun." Fair. So: tap the โ๏ธ next to your avatar, or "Night mode" in the mobile menu, and the whole site goes dark. Warm, dimmed, easy on the eyes. It remembers your choice on that device, and if you never touch it, it follows your phone's dark-mode setting. It's a first pass โ a few product photos with white backgrounds will still glare, and we'll keep polishing โ but the sun is off.
That request came from one comment. So did these, all shipped this week:
Reply to a reply, with @name, so questions inside a thread actually get answered.
A real "Never used it โ remove" button on your routine, and Shelf Audit no longer stacks the same product three times.
The review form finally speaks haircare, suncare and lip care instead of treating everything like a face cream.
On your profile, country and skin type are now separate switches โ show one, hide the other, your call.
Brands can now leave a private note under your tester review โ usage tips, advice for your skin type โ and you can reply. Only you, the brand and CYoung see it.
Here's the standing offer, plainly: if something is clunky, missing, or just wrong, comment it here or on any post. We read every one and reply to every one, and most of them get built โ usually within a day or two. Not every idea makes it (a few would cost you privacy or fairness, and we'll say so when that's the case), but nothing goes unanswered.
Try the dark, and tell us what still glares.

Love the night mode! Yay!
What a great added featuring to the website, I love this, now I donโt have to lower my screen brightness first thing in the morning when I check my comments. Iโm glad to be part of this websiteโs progress, wish I knew about you, I would have started my skin care and joined a lot sooner ๐
What a happy circumstance! Thank you!
Thank you, as ever, for being responsive! (As I sit in the dark after the automated lights turned off on me, lol).
loving the fast updates we are getting!
Yay thank you!! Welcome to the dark side! โจ
@Mariacasino CYoung Community After Dark? ๐คฃ
Feature suggestion for the team! ๐ก โI really love the 'Browse routines' section and how seamless the '+ Add to My Routine' button is. However, when I'm browsing, I often discover products that look interesting for future testing, but I don't want to immediately add them to my active, in-use routine and clutter my tracking. โWould it be possible to add an 'Add to Wishlist' option? โHow it could work: โ- An 'Add to Wishlist' button right next to 'Add to My Routine' when browsing other members' shelves. โ- The option to manually search and add wishlist items ourselves. โPlacing the Wishlist section at the bottom of the skin log/profile page (right below the My Skin Triggers section). โThat way, when we're preparing for a haul or planning our next seasonal purchase, we have a clean, saved list of ideas in one place! Would anyone else find this useful? โจ
Done โ your spec was good enough to build from directly. You'll now see a ๐ Wishlist button next to "+ Add to My Routine" on Browse routines, on product pages, and on other members' shelves. Saved items live at the bottom of My Routine, right under My Skin Triggers, exactly where you suggested. You can add one by hand with "+ Add", leave yourself a note ("try in winter"), and when you actually start using it, tap "Start using it" โ it moves to your routine and the 14-day check-in starts from that day. Until then it stays out of your tracking entirely. It's private to you for now. If a few of you want to share a wishlist before a haul, say so and we'll add a share link.
@CY_Team I like this add-on it can help as a reminder/ organizer in a way helping you keep track of progress of new products, thank you! I also just got my new tester item and I love it so far, sincerely ๐
@CY_Team so faaaast! Thank you!
@CY_Team hey guys, another suggestion here! Would it be possible to have a private way of contacting the team? If you already have it I was not able to find it, sorry! But you know, just a place to ask private info like about shipping issues for the tester program, or report something if we feel unsafe (it did not happen, just saying if it does I have no place to say it). I do have one question that I would like to ask but I didnโt want others to see! Cheers xx
You're not missing it โ it wasn't there. The only private route was a "contact" page that opened your mail app, and it wasn't linked from anywhere you'd actually be. That's on us, and it's being fixed today: a real private message form, a "My messages" page where you can see our reply, and a "Report privately" option next to the public report on posts and comments. For your question right now, email support@cyounginyou.com โ it goes straight to us and nobody else sees it. We reply to every message.
@Viivihtips THIS...YES!! I was thinking the same thing!
Dear Holy Grail @CY_Team, I have a few requests, please, for the Skin Log. 1. Would it be possible to select if we use a product primarily on our face, body, or both? Perhaps under "Used Today" and "AM / PM" with the ability to select face and/or body options just like Am / PM? For example, I added the Illiyoon MD anti-itch cream but only use it on my body. My body is much less sensitive and leans toward normal. I would like to track reactions to the cream but I don't want the AI tool confusing it with what I'm putting on my sensitive, reactive face and warning me about ingredients that don't cause problems on the rest of my body. 2. Could we have the ability to edit the title or photo info in our Product Trials? For example, I accidentally copied the link to the HaruHaru Wonder sunscreen into the title line like I would when adding a new product to my routine. I can tell what the product is but the messy-looking link in the title is driving me nuts. 3. Could we have some more target options to select under 'biggest concern' when we add an item to our routine and want to begin a trial? For example, sensitivity can cover a broad range of issues, but to me it translates primarily to stinging, burning, plus the physical affects of flushing or trapped heat. Often times I may not feel stinging, burning or sensitivity, but I will have reactive flushing and a feeling of generalized trapped heat that I want to track improvement on more specifically. Also, we have options for dryness, but not for oily skin, breakouts but not for fine lines or pores, etc. Examples of possible targets: Flushing (or Redness) Heat Oily Uneven tone PIH Sun damage Allergic Reaction Barrier Repair Fine Lines / Wrinkles Pores Elasticity Texture (or Rough skin) Thank you for considering!
all three are in, and you've described exactly why for each โ so this is short. Face / body / both: every product on your shelf now has that switch (in the add and edit dialogs). Mark the Illiyoon cream as body-only and it drops out of the face-level checks โ the active-overlap panel, the conflict warnings, and the trial insight all stop treating it as something on your reactive face. It still counts for "Used today" and your monthly rollup, since you're still using it. Trial title and photo: there's a โ next to the trial name now. Fix the HaruHaru one and the link goes away. We also stop the form from accepting a link as a name in the first place. Concerns: 16 instead of 4, and your list is most of it โ flushing/redness and trapped heat are separate from stinging/burning now, plus oil, uneven tone, PIH, sun damage, allergic reaction, barrier, texture, pores, fine lines, elasticity. Live within the day. Thank you for writing these up the way you did.
