A collection of essays about the joys and struggles of being alone by 22 literary writers including: Lev Grossman, Jhumpa Lahiri, Lena Dunham, Jesmyn Ward, Yiyun Li, and Anthony Doerr

If you're feeling lonely or if you've ever felt unseen, if you're emboldened by solitude or secretly longing for it: Welcome to The Lonely Stories. This cathartic collection of essays illuminates an experience that so few of us openly discuss. Some stories are heartbreaking, such as Jesmyn Ward's reckoning with the loss of her husband and Dina Nayeri's reflection on immigrating to a foreign country. Others are witty, such as Lev Grossman's rueful tale of heading to the woods or Anthony Doerr's struggles with internet addiction. Still others celebrate the clarity of solitude, like Claire Dederer's journey toward sobriety and Lidia Yuknavitch's sensual look at desire. Thoughtful and affirming, The Lonely Stories reveals the complexities of an emotion we've all felt--reminding us that we're not alone.

    Clean product!
    Does not leave white residue, but feels light and moisturizing. Very few clean products containing spf, this one rates high on Yuka.

    Great product
    Feels like a moisturizer cream and has very little of that oily feel. Applied it and then ran 5 miles. Coverage was great.

    No white cast once rubbed in
    This works amazing with my skincare routine. I have dry skin and it doesn't leave a white cast at all, doesn't cling to my dry flakes. Best sunscreen I have found for the price.

    residue
    It says no white cast but there definitely is a white residue left behind. I have tried it in different occasions and ever time my face is left with a white hue and it does not absorb properly; had to wash my face with soap and use a different sunscreen for the day

    Helped Tighten My Skin & Minimize Pores
    Color: Cyano Pink Spicule, Color: Cyano Pink Spicule
    I’ve loved the Dr. Melaxin Cyano Pink Spicule Serum! The bottle is small, but it lasted me around 6 months since I only use one pump every other night. When I first started using it, I noticed a tingling sensation, but over time my skin adjusted and I barely notice it now. I’ve definitely seen my pores appear smaller and my skin feels tighter and smoother after using it.
