Hi! I want to purchase another product that contains LHA only. I have ordered this off yesstyle already. Thanks ❤️

Products containing just LHA

Looking for suggestions as I am runni g out of my Biore UV Milky Bright. I am happy with this one but want to try a new one. (I couldn't find this specific one on a search so I just tagged the brand I am currently using) 

Any suggestion would be appreciated especially ones that are also designed as a makeup base/primer too. Thanks!

Suitable first application SPF to wear under Foundation

I thoroughly enjoyed using this but I  found myself asking “do I really personally need this? &quot;

👉Products benefits overlapped with my stronger targeted products 
👉I don&#39;t need to use daily
👉Personal approach to to irritation is completely strippping back not adding

This makes claims which are true - but they aren’t the best options if you are  targeting these issues. Using this serum is complementary to them. 

Claims of youthful skin and rich Vitamin C for bright, clear complexion is mainly based on green tea as an antioxidant. I choose this because it&#39;s a gentle, lower formulation of vitamin C - but it did not give me the glow of another 3% serum I used previously. 

For antiaging you would probably need to include retinoids, collagen or peptides in your routine.

The best fit  for daily use for me is the glow or repair serum which I plan to try.

So many people love this I had to try it. I was also looking for an antioxidant alternative to Vitamin C. 

This serum is comprised mainly of 76.49% green tea leaf water and also contains:

☑️2% Panthenol
☑️Centella Asiatica 
☑️Artemisia vulgaris extract
☑️Traditional Korean medicine
☑️Glycerin, Sodium hyaluronate, Propolis extract

There is no fragrance, alcohol, essential oils. This is also non -comedogenic. 
This calms and soothes redness, sensitivity and damaged skin. It can be used daily AM&#47;PM

Naturally green coloured from the green tea, it is a watery, lightweight serum  feeling  refreshing on  skin.

View this is a gentle antioxidant serum that offers some anti-aging and complexion clearing benefits-  there is nothing wrong with that.

I recommend this as it is potentially someone else&#39;s holy grail.It is perfect for sensitive skin, anyone with skin conditions like eczema or in need of barrier repair. This is a great single use product for anyone looking for slow gentle results.

There is mixed results with people varying from &quot;it worked in 40 days&quot; to &quot;nothing happened&quot;. Based on my personal anecdotal evidence it works with consistency and time. 

How did I know? I noticed the muscle inhibition in my undereye. 

Verdict: If you have no particular concerns I would skip this and go for a general multi peptide serum like  The Ordinary  buffet that would already contain it.

Argireline is referred to as nature&#39;s botox. The instructions state to apply the  undereye and forehead twice a day. 

This is super light. watery and no  interactions with other ingredients to my knowledge. 

Go ahead and apply it to other areas of concern such as smile lines and in between the brows. 

A trademark owned by Barcelona-based Lipotec, Argireline is a synthetic peptide compound that gives its licence to skin care companies. 

It reduces the appearance of wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions. It also stimulates collagen production
Some studies have shown that Argireline inhibits muscle movements and prevent wrinkle formation.

Its only £5.50 a bottle, lasts a long time and cheap for the consumer if you decide to try it. So not much monetary loss for you. 

If those lines really bother you save for botox 💰

Bonus: This is good for dry skin types as this gives areas applied extra moisture.This makes me theorise that this could  be used during a makeup routine 🤔

It also pairs well with Hyularonic acid to improve to intensify hydration

I would consider this a greasy sunscreen. Depending on how my skin felt or even possibly weather dependent this varied from barely greasy to greasy but it did settle for me. I personally don&#39;t mind a greasier sunscreen. I think the Biore UV Aqua  Rich is greasier than this.

I also purposely tested this for eye stinging. I believe this will sting some people&#39;s eyes but there is advice&#47;hacks on this issue.

This chemical sunscreen lotion is water resistant, broad spectrum UVA &#47;UVB and reef friendly. It contains Vitamin E and Aloe Vera to provide moisturisation and 72 hour hydration.

For me this leaned more towards hydrating rather than moisturising sunscreen lotion. I didn&#39;t need to use a separate moisturiser. If you are planning on wearing makeup be aware of these if you normally use primer or foundation. 

This is also the fastest absorbing sunscreen I have used in a while! 
 
This is a great value sunscreen that I really liked a lot that ticked a lot of boxes for me. I will be buying more of this in the future.

As an all round multipurpose product there may be better products for your needs.

I saw Rohto Mentholatum - Hada Labo Perfect Gel  two years ago and I have been meaning to try it out ever since. The packaging has a touch of luxe with the gold. The writing is not in english when I received it but I checked the gallery online on at yesstyle to confirm the uses.

This heavy colourless, odourless multi purpose gel formula is fragrance, alcohol and mineral free. It is sensitive skin friendly and all skin types could find it beneficial. If you purchase have a play and see how it works for you.

It contains:

☑️Four types of hyaluronic acid
☑️Squalane
☑️Ceramide
☑️Cherry blend

It has 5 functions which I previously tested as a first impressions series in stories. You can view these in my highlights in First Impressions.

 It absorbs in quickly but you need to wait for your skin to get drier if your next product needs dry skin. If you use facial oil remember this is a gel formula when adding this in your routine

Toner
Essence
Mask
Serum
Moisturiser

This performed the best for me personally as mask and day cream to layer before heavier sun cream or before my light hydration lotion in the colder months. I also like putting this in the fridge!

Since this is a product aimed at the East Asian audiences and enthusiasts toner and essence is listed as two functions as they are slightly different and can be classed as two different steps in a routine. To sum it up toner is extra preparation to broadly balance your skin routine. An essence is usually a light, targeted,  more concentrated product that goes on after a toner. Both of these steps can be considered extra.

This doesn&#39;t look like much initially, it does not have a nice or lingering smell
but you really start to appreciate how useful it is. 

I needed a gel moisturiser for Autumn&#47;Winter and was willing to spend up to £25 for a good one - but now I don’t need to. I also have a new replacement for my half empty hydrating peel off mask.

This is one of the most versatile products I have used this year and has become a firm favourite I will I plan to always have because 

It comes in a generous pot, a well performing quality formula, all rounder and a budget price that can save money.

Adequate and even possible equal replacements for:

A deeply hydrating mask 
Layering as a lightweight moisturiser
As a moisturiser by itself day or night depending on the climate
As a serum

This is a perfect booster for retinol users or any other ingredients that may make your skin drier or dehydrated through adjustment or regular use. You could use it afterwards or in the morning if your skin feels drier.

I felt burning on my skin the first few times which I was really surprised about! 
It as a good, gentle list. The red flags were Niacinamide and Citric Acid ( a very common helper AHA). I narrowed it down niacinamide that caused this reaction.

It was not waiting, combination of STRONG acids ( ph levels) AND niacinamide together. Once I waited 5 - 10 minutes next time my skin was fine!
This very low amount of niacinamide has NOT affected my strong chemical exfoliants.

My skin actually LIKES niacinamide it was just the combo of products used and the beauty bay formulation.

 A very small amount of reviews also mentioned a burning, itching and irritation. 

I suspect it is either

1️⃣what happened to me
2️⃣reacting to niacinamide 
3️⃣extremely sensitive skin

This is a very low dose of niacinamide ; if you know you can react to niacinamide or your skin outright hates this ingredient there are other budget moisturisers. 

✨ fragrance and parfum free for sensitive skins or a avoiders
✨ GREAT value purchase that lives up to its claims and fantasti at  £7.00&#47; $9.35 thi
✨Not designed for oily skin despite being non clogging. However some people with oily skin HAVE been using it.

This moisturiser is designed for normal and dry skin. It claims to 

✨Rehydrate skin
✨Nourishes
✨Replenishes
✨Soothes
✨Restores

It can be applied day or night. Its star ingredient is colloidal oatmeal, a skin identical ingredient containing ceramides. 

This pale yellow cream has a thick dense, solid texture that absorbs quickly. Very scoopable! This is a very rich formula - you do not need much. 

Unsurprisingly this has a faint oaty smell.🌾 

If you are in need of extra apply more; since this is designed for daily use.The beauty bay website states you can mix it with other skinhit products. The nearest match is the nourishing oil or just use an oil you already own. 

This is a good moisturiser to put on damp to skin to prevent Transepidermal Water Loss. 

I have been using this night time when  to restore moisture and protect my barrier when using chemical exfoliants.
