My friend gets photoallergic contact dermatitis when using sunblock, and we live in a pretty hot and sunny country. I was just wondering if anyone has the same reaction and what sun creams you use that don't cause the allergic reaction? Thank you in advance :)

SPF Allergy?

So I came across a pic on Insta on the differences between purging and breaking out and the main difference seems to be using actives vs not using actives in your routine. I started using retinol and ascorbyl glucoside serums recently and I'm not totally sure if I'm breaking out (retinol is based in squalane, applied after a reallythick moisturizer) or if I'm purging? Any suggestions or tips?

Purging or Breakout??

It&#39;s sticky when you first apply it, but luckily that goes away once it gets absorbed

I&#39;ve tried to be good and use this serum every morning (some mornings I&#39;m too lazy), and it&#39;s really not a bad serum. Sticky at first but sinks in and dries really well. I haven&#39;t noticed a big difference in my skin, it looks a little healthier but nothing to write home about

I don&#39;t have anything bad to say about this cleanser

Absolutely adore this cleanser, I might never use another 2nd step cleanser! It&#39;s so gentle and hydrating, my dry, sensitive skin loves it! Can use morning and night.

It takes a while to sink in and is a little sticky at first. Doesn&#39;t do a bunch for my clogged pores, which I know it wouldn&#39;t but I was hoping for at least a little bit of a difference in that area

Leaves my skin feeling baby soft, a little goes a long and and is perfect for my sensitive skin!

The smell! I was not prepared for how sour this smells, and according to a few other reviews this is a normal smell?? I&#39;m very sensitive to scents so I&#39;m really struggling to use this without having to hold my breath

Oh how I want to love this stuff, it makes my skin feel amazing after using it. I even use it on my body it&#39;s that good!

Not a single bad experience with this stuff, I love it

This is absolutely HG for me, my skin loves this toner. It&#39;s hydrating, nourishing and soothing and I&#39;ll definitely have a back up bottle of this on hand. It actually improves my whole mood when using this toner
