I have noticed that my skin gets more dry every time I reapply my sunscreen. I started using spf a year ago and this happened with most of them. But now I use spf without alcohol but my skin still gets dry and very uncomfortable. Which surprises me because they are very moisturising in the beginning. Is there anything else in formula that can cause dryness? I use only chemical sunscreen

Edit: I was thinking maybe some uv filters can be drying on the skin.

Does sunscreen dry out the skin?

Which one do you prefer as first cleanse and why? I mostly use balms because they are less messy and they are travel friendly. Also share your favourite products 😊

Cleansing balm or oil?

How do you manage redness? I tried many calming and soothing products but nothing is that effective and I don't know what is the issue. I heard that azelaic acid can help so I'm interested what is your experience with it

Skin redness

I am looking for effective products with azelaic acid. I have tried one from the ordinary but it didn't work for me. Any good recommendations?

Has fragrance, not everyone will like it 

This cleansing oil gently removes all dirt, makeup and sunscreen, without drying out the skin. It can also remove blackheads and sebum from pores.
It contains several plant oils like Sunflower, Macadamia, Jojoba and Grape seed. With the addition of Heartleaf Extract it will soothe the skin at the same time.

Texture is very lightweight and it works great for me! It is easy to wash off without leaving an oily residue. My skin feels so shoothe after use. It does have a light scent. This is going to be one of my favorite products for this year!

This serum contains 70% of Peach Extract and 5% Niacinamide for brighter skin. It also has Vitamin B12, 3 types of HA and Pink Yeast. Pink color comes from Vitamin B12. But that is not all! There are other wonderful ingredients with benefits like Alpha-Arbutin, Ceramide and Centella. All together they make this wonderful serum with multiple benefits: hydration, brightening and soothing.

This serum is great for dry and dehydrated skin. It gives you an instant glass skin look without being heavy or greasy. It is hydrating and works great with my other products. And it smells like peaches, so yummy.

If you don't like glowy look use moisturizer or sunscreen with natural or matte finish 

Note: when I posted this review wrong ingredients were listed in this app, from old version 

This beloved product was reformulated and I heard mixed opinions. Some ingredients were removed, and many new ones were added. Some of the new ingredients are: corn starch, centella leaf extract, lactobacillus, vitamin E and vitreoscilla ferment. 
Corn starch is added to reduce shine but it is still very dewy on me. 

The new texture is more silky, but still nourishing as before. I have combo skin and I like this new version. I won't be using this in my AM routine because it is to dewy for me. For nighttime is perfect, especially for colder days.

It is effective as previous version.


What I don't like so much is the fragrance. I don't mind the scent, but I prefer fragrance free products.

Key ingredients:
Heartleaf Extract
Salicylic Acid
Mugwort Powder
Quercetin

This is a foaming cleanser for combination and oily skin types, and for acne-prone skin. It contains Quercetin, which is extracted from Heartleaf, and it has anti-inflammatory and calming properties. 
It also contains Mugwort powder and BHA for gentle daily exfoliation.
This cleanser contains fragrance. It is mild and smells like lavender.

My experience:
The texture is creamy and it turns into nice foam. It does an excellent job at cleansing without drying out my skin. My skin feels clean after, but not stripped. I couldn't find the percentage of BHA, but I assume it could be around 0,5% which is great for daily use. I didn't notice much calming. Maybe because this is a wash-off product, or it will take a while to notice that. 

Key ingredients:
- 23% Ascorbic Acid
- Panthenol
- Hyaluronic Acid
- Caffeine
- Tocotrienol (Super Vitamin E)

This Vitamin C serum fades hyperpigmentation and helps with signs of ageing. This is a potent formula with 23% of pure Vitamin C, with additional brightening ingredients like Niacinamide and Ethyl Ascorbyl Ether. It also has several plant oils and hydrating ingredients like Panthenol and Hyaluronic Acid. 

It doesn't contain fragrance and essential oils. It does have an odd scent(like canned tuna), like pure vitamin C does, but I don't think it has a strong scent as some people describe. And it has a very low percentage of alcohol.

My experience:
I was hesitant to try this because my skin can react badly to a high percentage of pure Vitamin C, but surprisingly I didn't have any issues with this serum. No skin burning or stinging. Texture is slightly oily, but it absorbs fast into the skin, and I had no issues after applying other products on top. Color of this serum is pale yellow.

I have been using this for 2 months and I absolutely love it! I like that formula is water based so it doesn't feel too oily on my skin. I don't mind that odd scent, over time I got used to it. I did notice some improvements with my sun spots. They are less visible, but not gone completely. My skin looks healthier in general since I started using this. I already purchased a 2nd bottle! 

About the size of this serum, this is 20 ml of product packed in a 30 ml bottle. 20 ml is enough for 2-3 months, depending how often you use it. And it is more likely that you will use it up before oxidation. I kept mine in the fridge and the color didn't change much.

Overall, this is an amazing serum if you have stubborn dark spots or if you want something to help with fine likes. I will rate this 10/10.
