Hi!
I got into skincare like one and a half years ago. I tried out a LOT of products, but when I thought finally I found the “perfect” skincare routine it magically stopped working and I was left with a very irritated kind of greyish skin with breakouts. And I tried to fix it everytime but I had to realise that my skin was much better when I didn’t use anything. So I stopped. My skincare routine now was washing my face with water and then putting on sunscreen and at night I washed my face sometimes with a very gentle cleanser or in the shower with water and I used aloe vera (from plant) or the neitrogena hydro boost gel cream (this was the only skincare product I used but not every day) and my skin cleared up like I never hut puberty and I didn’t get new pimples because like I mentioned I still washed my face. 
I know though that tgis doesn’t work for everybody and it is fine. I won’t say that if you struggled with acne your whole life then washing your face with water will clear it up and if your skincare is working keep it up (also not by any mean I’m saying that skincare is toxic). But I was desperate so I changed my routine and I wanted to share my experience so maybe I can help others.
If you ever tried this. Or only stopped for a short period of time what was your experience?
Have a great day!❤️

I stopped using skincare

Hi!
It will be my first time using retinol and right now I’m a little scared and anxious about it. I’ve been researching a lot and basically typed in EVERYTHING I could into google about it. 
But I saw that a lot of people are recommending to use retinol after and a lot of people that use it before moisturizer. I don’t know which is the better way.
This is why I came here because I know how helpful and kind the picky community is. 
Also I will attach the retinol I chose to use so if you have any experience with this product I would be very happy to hear it.
Thank you!

Retinol before or after moisturizer

Hi!
So I have two cleansers that I won’t use because they broke me out or just really triggered my sensitive skin. But I don’t wanna waste them so my question is that can hou use cleanser on your body as a shower gel? Or is it too gentle? (These are the ones I have and can’t use on mu face)

Facial cleanser for body

Hi!
I’ve been wanting to try out retinol for my skin problems. Just the thing is that a LOT of people are telling that ONLY start using retinoil in your late twenties.
I know it is an anti aging ingredient but I also know that before they discovered it’s anti-aging benefits they prescribed it for teenagers to treat skin blemishes.
So what do you think?
Would it have any consequences if I start using it at sixteen or not?

Also the reason I really don’t know what to think is that I read things like this too (“Age just doesn't matter. Because it's not only for anti-aging, but it also works for acne. ... Since retinoids are safe for acne-prone teens and their young skin, then retinol is safe to use when you are young before you see any signs of aging.”)

Have a great day!

Hey picky community! I’m in hunt for a good bb cream and I found some but I have no idea which one to buy. So if anyone uses bb creams please write down what product you use and why you like it.
It helps a lot. Thank you!

(These are some I found)

BB creams

For me, nothing. Very gentle and even my VERY VERY sensitive skin liked it.

My skin loves it, and every time I try out something new I’ll come back to this, so I finally settled with this cleanser if not for life but for a long time. I know some people though who’s skin didn’t like it so just like ALL skincare products it’s not meant for everybody but I would definitely recommend for people with dry&#47;sensitive skin to buy just the smallest bottle and try it out.

Even though I liked it and I think it is a good product and maybe I am even gonna rebuy it I feel like using it twice a week is less than enough but using it more times is a lot. I wouldn’t say it’s magic but I know how many people loves it for me it didn’t clean my pores and my breakouts. BUT I still feel like my skin needs this little exfoliation so I don’t know what to do.

It is a gentle chemical exfoliant. Yes in my opinion chemical exfoliants are much better than physicals. I like how it doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin.

Very soothing. It calms down any redness, hurting big pimples, I noticed it helped a little with my dark spots. It’s literally just magic and I love that it is unscented cause my skin can’t stand ANY fragrance because of how sensitive it is.

For MY body it didn’t work my body is not that dry that it needs a thick cream. Plus sometimes I feel like my skin needs something more I don’t know what is it actually but it needs something more.

A very good moisturizer. I would recommend for everybody to try it out and even if it doesn’t work for your face but you have dry hands then use it on them. My hands got so dry always that they were bleeding but this cream mafe them the softest they have ever been it’s crazy. (And some people like using it on their body too, aand it’s good for dry feet).
