Hi! I currently use the CosRx Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser every evening as my second cleanse and it's helped my acne so much, however I have the Some By Mi AHA BHA PHA 30 Days Miracle Toner and really want to add it to my routine to help with skin's texture.

Want I want to ask is when and how should I use it in regards to my cleanser: Can I use it after my salicylic cleanse? Should I use a non BHA cleanser on evenings I use the toner? And if so how frequently would you recommend I use it?

Thanks in advance for any advice 😊

When to exfoliate?

Hi! For my birthday this month my partner has ordered me a bundle of new products that I've been dying to try:


- Banila Co Clean It Cleansing Balm Original
- Isntree Green Tea Fresh Toner
- Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Toner Plus
- Purito Centella Unscented Serum
- Cosrx Ultra Nourishing Rice Overnight Spa Mask
- Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Water Sleeping Mask
- Some By Mi Super Matcha Pore Clean Clay Mask

I want to know if people think I'll be good to go ahead and start using them all straight away as I have my renewed routine planned out already incorporating them, or if you think I should only start one or two at a time and for how long?

Thanks in advance! 😊

Introducing Multiple New Products

Hi, I currently use a glycolic toner in my routine and a niacinamide serum on alternating days, I'm just wondering if I can use them in the same routine?

I've seen things that they can be used together and other things that they shouldn't so I'm not sure, I'd love to use them together if I can but wanted to make sure first. Thanks in advance for any replies! 😊

Glycolic Toner + Niacinamide Serum: Yea or ney?

Hi everyone! I'm starting a skincare journal but also making my own little referral type journal, particularly focusing on ingredients: what concerns they target, what they can be used with in routines and alternate days (AHAs, BHAs, Retinol, Vitamin C, etc).

I've been doing lots of research but thought I'd ask here for people to share their knowledge to see if I've maybe missed something or if there's any lesser known gems out there I should check out to add to my information book.

Thanks in advance for sharing ☺️

Ingredient Dictionary

Hi! I just got my first K skincare haul and I'm so excited to try everything (gradually of course) 🥰 I have the CosRX Ultimate Nourishing Rice Overnight Spa Mask and the Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Water Sleeping Mask and I'm not sure how frequently I can use them?

I'm going to introduce them one after the other (the CosRX first, the Isntree a couple of weeks later) and I'm hoping I can use them to replace my night cream on alternate evenings.

Just wondering if this sounds like a good idea as I've heard differing opinions - Sleeping masks shouldn't be used every night because they're too heavy and others saying they're totally fine to use in place of your evening moisturiser.

Thanks in advance for any advice! 😊

Sleeping Masks

A little goes a long way, which isn&#39;t a bad thing at all but if you use too think a layer it can take a long time to dry, the max recommended being 20 minutes

Exactly what you want from a mask! Having acne prone oily skin, using this mask feels so fresh going on and your skin responds in kind: face feels and looks calmer, especially any acne I have at the time. Even my partner uses this with me twice a week and has for the first time noticed how much clearer and less visible his pores are 😊

One of the first face washes that genuinely makes my acne-prone skin feel clean

Nothing at all but I have oily skin, couldn't say someone with dry skin would feel moisturised with this alone

The most lightweight moisturiser I've ever used, I like to experiment with skincare but honestly I don't think I could keep myself away from this gel cream and use anything else 🤗

Too much shine for me personally, and having oily skin after awhile I can feel it just sitting on my skin which I hate. Started having a constant mild stinging and watering in my eyes; stopped using this and now my eyes are fine again so I&#39;m assuming this was the cause 😅

It&#39;s an affordable facial suncream which certainly leaves you with protective shine at the end of your skincare routine

Big however, I thought I&#39;d give it another go as I know more now and wanted to replace my exfoliation stage and... ow. I used the pads the other day which was okay, but then used this tonight and my face is so red. Dare not use this product again 😬

I tried the Nip+Fab stuff last year when I started getting into skincare and thought it was great, this certainly helped with my acne
