Hi everyone!

I’ve recently been reading into the benefits of vitamin C, in combination with SPF for optimal sun protection.
As I tend to burn really easily, I want to incorporate vitamin C in my routine.
Does anyone have any experience or suggestions? I have a more acne prone skin, and have been using the la roche-posay anthelios 50+ as sunscreen 🙂

Thanks!

Vitamin C for sun protection

Hi everyone! For the past two months, I’ve really started investing in my skin care and I do see some good results, yay! Since my Instagram suggested page is now full of skincare, I’ve been seeing a lot of suggestions for retinol. What are you experiences using retinol? I have a more combination skin which is acne prone, although I haven’t had a real breakout in over a month now :)
Also, I’m not sure if I should get the ordinary or the inkey list retinol, any recommendations? 
Thanks for your help!!

Retinol

Don’t apply too mich or an areas you don’t need it since it might leave a dry spot

Really does seem to dry out spots overnight! Go to staple in my routine. Very affordable

The texture doesn’t bother me, but it is kinda sticky so may not be for everyone

Leaves my skin feeling very hydrated. Does seems to working for my spots, although it took a couple of weeks. Really only need two-three drops for you whole face, so bottle will last you quite a while.

I don’t feel like it’s suuuper hydrating so if you have dry skin I think you might need a lot to feel hydrated

Leaves my skin feeling very smooth and hydrated! Don’t feel like it causes me to break out

Does not sting, does not dry out my skin. Seems to be helping with my spots, after continuous use for a couple of weeks in combination with other ordinary products

Absolutely nothing comes to mind, holy grail item

Go to moisturizer, have been using it for years! Switched for a short while to another moisturizer and felt like I did breakout more. Really applies nicely
