So the patent for the amazing yet cost prohibitive skinceuitcals CE Ferulic serum expired- who's got the tea on which products are making it based on that expired patent?! 👀

Skinceuticals vitamin c dupes?

I do wish it was easier to see how much is left though, it's impossible the way it is.  I'd also like to see less packaging, or reusable packaging.

 I received this product for free from Picky and HANSKIN in exchange for my honest review.

Have I told you lately how much I love Korean skincare?  Seriously though, it's living in the year 3024.

I love my hard earned fine Iines, pigmentation (as long as it's not the hurty kind...), and skin texture, as someone in their early 30s.  Its from smiling in the sun, baring my face to the world, and living life full-on.

However, a little glow never hurt nobody ✨️ 💛 
I have been using this cream at night, as part of a two-step routine involving the retinol serum and cream.

The Glow retinol cream is a BANGER. This is the night cream I have been looking for! Super thick yet absorbs well.  With other reinoids I've used the sandwich method, putting it between layers of moisturizer.   This feels like I don't need a moisturizer afterwards at all, and has been gentle on my skin barrier.  I'm excited to see the long term changes with this one, it's dramatically different than any other retinol cream I've ever tried.  Seriously the best, thick creamy texture of almost any night cream I've tried.  

I like the clean scent and dispenser as well, it's easy to use.  



Okay, I fell for it. This is really truly the holy grail of sunscreens and I will not only die on that hill but proseletyze near and far! I LOVE the texture of this sunacreen! It feels like a fantastic moisturizer, let along being spf 50?! Unreal.  It leaves no white cast, has a gentle dewy finish and is soothing and hydrating.  Literally zero complaints this is magic cream.

This is super sticky and required a good scrub to remove.  It also leaves a pretty strong white cast.

This stuff WORKS.  It's sticky and doesn't run into my eyes.  I use it when I'm biking or trail running.for extended periods of time, and need something to hold up to sweating and direct sunlight.

It leaves a noticeable white astonishing despite saying it doesn't

Saturdays are my long runs, and I love my skin and am not so fond of the cancer thereof, so I bundle up like one of the three kings traveling across the desert before heading out the door (trust me, its very chic, very du juor) 😎

As much as I love my daily wear sunscreens, they just don't cut it for sweaty miles in the hills.🏔🥵 

 I have a second category of sunscreens called my "sporty spices". These are generally water resistant, sticky so they don't run into my eyes, and tough as nails...

...and blindingly white. 😂

I actually love this stick sunscreen from neutrogena, and it rubs in a bit less white cast, but is still noticeable.  It's handy to put in a vest for touchups, and quite moisturizing without being runny.

Listen, don't get me wrong, certain things must be sacrificed for longevity and robustness of the sporty spices, I get it...but the text on the back of some of these could be improved 😂

 It's hard to tell of it makes a difference in youthfulness to me, but it does feel nourishing.  I'll have to keep testing it, so far no dramatic results.

The serum absorbs well and is hardly noticeable. The texture is viscous but gel-like.
 As with most korean skincare I've tested, it is very gentle on my skin, and I didn't experience any irritation.
