Hi!

So I started incorporating retinol in my skin care routine 2 months ago. And I'm almost at the 3 month mark, and I still have a lot left. What do you guys do with your left overs? Or should I just start to not feel bad when I have products that are about to expire? 😅

Left Over Retinol

Hi! I've been having problems with my scalp. 😓 I've been trying to treat my dandruff and using anti-dandruff shampoo and conditioner. My mom said it may be due to the dry weather for the past months. With regards to hairfall, it's said that vitamin D helps a lot, so I always try to have my daily dose of morning sunshine for 30mins.

What are other tips and products that you could suggest regarding my concern? 

Thank you in advance! 💖

Dandruff and Hairfall

Hi! I've seen videos on instagram about adding a few drops of retinol in their moisturizer and mixing it before applying on the face.

What are your thoughts about it? Is it worth a try? Does it affect the effectivity of the products?

It looks pretty interesting to me because it doesn't leave the face too oily/shiny looking after application. Unlike when applying moisturizer first and then the retinol.

Retinol and Moisturizer

~ A little heavy texture for me
~ Not that hydrating as I was expecting it to be
~ I needed to use a little more of the product than what I usually apply using other brands to achieve the amount of hydration my skin needs

This is my first time trying out this product. But I have been using other The Ordinary products which I came to love. 

So here are my thoughts about this moisturizer:
~ A great product at very affordable price
~ Sinks and absorbs in nicely after gently massaging or gently patting in to the face (I find that gently patting it helps it get absorbed much faster and nicer)
~  It doesn&#39;t leave my skin shiny and greasy after application
~ I love how it particularly goes well with retinol. So I recommend using it at night

I didn&#39;t notice any bad side effects of the product, as it really worked wonderfully on my skin.

This product worked wonders for me. I was skeptical at first as I have read reviews that it may be too strong and not suitable for people with sensitive skin like me. So I only started using it with just a few drops to cover my whole face lightly and every other week for 2 months. Nowadays, I use it weekly and I am really loving it. Almost done with my first bottle and already ordered a second one.

Here are the things I noticed about TO AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution:

~ Leaves my skin feeling so clean and fresh after every use
~ Deep cleans the pores ⬇️
~ Helped a lot with the white&#47;black heads on my nose and chin area

I have also tried using it in my underarms, just 2 drops to cover the whole of each underarm.

~ Helped with the underarm chicken skin
~ Helped lighten the underarms (it just takes time though)

The product is great, but it can be quite expensive.

Hi! So this is my first time trying this product. I was first looking out for the mild milk for sensitive skin version, but it&#39;s hard to come upon. 

Here are the things that I came to love about this sunscreen:

~ The consistency is a bit runny, but it works well with the small opening on the tube which really helps for it not to be messy upon pouring
~ It has a creamy, kind of a little oily feel at first
~ Rich, smooth, and velvety-powdery feel upon application
~ Super easy to apply. It blends and absorbs well so easily
~ I love how it is sweat proof! It doesn&#39;t leave a white cast&#47;streak in the face where the sweat has trickled down
~ It does not feel heavy at all! I love how light it feels but also knowing that my skin is protected. The lightness it has gives me no problem when I need to re-apply
~ Personally, I like the subtle baby-milky scent it has 💙

I have nothing bad to say about this product as it works really great on my skin and I love it sooo much!!

HOLY GRAIL!! 👑👑 

I have been using this product for 7-8years now. And here are some of the things I reallyyyy love about Cetaphil:

~ It feels so light and silky in the face when used as a facial wash
~ It can be used as a moisturizer lol which I really love doing, because it really leaves the skin so soft and smooth
~ Runny creamy texture
~ Fragrance free

Upon using the product and finishing the whole bottle, I noticed some changes specially with my PIH, but that took a couple months, far from their 3-7days(?) effect claim. But it&#39;s still worth a try, besides it&#39;s said that vitamin c works best around 12weeks or more and with consistent use.

This product is very affordable and easily available. I decided to buy and try this one for thise reasons. And based on my research, vitamin C helps fade away dark spots.

Upong Using Garnier Vitamin C Serum:
~ I noticed how it makes my skin glow and feeling plump after application
~ Helped fade away some dark spots on my forehead (it took a while, but the PIH on my cheeks are taking longer)
~ Silky-creamy texture
~ Easy to apply and easily absorbed by the skin
