Hi 🙋🏼‍♀️, I was wondering if any of you have some good recommendations for an affordable sunscreen to use for your body. Something that comes in a larger size then the usual face sunscreens, preferably at least 200 mL. I go running often and I want to protect my skin then as well, but a lot of the face sunscreens are too expensive for me to use that much 😊.

Affordable body sunscreen

This might be a stupid question, but i was wondering. For retinols, to decrease sentivity, they are often applied after a moisturizer. Is this also possible with actives like bha to decrease sensitivity? Or will it stop them from working?

BHA over moisturizer?

Hi all! I have recently started using the benton deep green tea toner, but I notice after I use it my skin is a tiny bit itchy for a few seconds, I then usually pat it with my hand or a towel and it goes away. It’s also always a small area not my whole face that becomes a bit itchy and It does not cause any redness/stinging/tingling. Do you think I am sensitive to an ingredient in the product (and any idea which one) or is this normal? Does anybody else experience this?

Hi! I’ve recently started using the paula’s choice 2% BHA liquid, but I feel that sometimes it makes my pimples worse rather than better. I’m considering purchasing the inkey list BHA. How do you think they compare?

Paula’s choice vs Inkey list BHA?

Hi! Unfortunately for some reason a mosquito decided to bite me last night on my face. Are there any ingredients that I should avoid using in that area? Or ingredients that would help it even? Thank you 😊

Mosquito bite

It feels a bit weird on the skin and if you use only a little too much it pills on the skin. Other than that, it’s amazing.

This product is amazing for my oily, acne-prone skin. It has helped control my sebum production and significantly decreased breakouts for me. On top of that it helps to fade PIE faster.

I personally don’t find anything bad about the product, but if you prefer a matte look, this sunscreen is definitely not the one for you. Also it would be nice if it came in a larger size, unfortunately it does not.

This is for me the best sunscreen I have ever tried. It is super lightweight, absorbs really fast and nice into the skin and leaves a subtle glow. This is a combination sunscreen with both chemical and physical UV filters, which I love. It does’nt leave a white cast and isn’t irritating to the skin. Even if I get it too close to my eyes, it only stings a little bit, whereas if I do that with other chemical sunscreens I will literally cry. The glow is a bit much when you’ve just applied the product, but when it is fully absorbed it is less visible and looks amazing in my opinion.

The instructions on the product says to use it once or twice daily, but that would be way too much for most people, two times a week is more than enough!

This product helped me to greatly improve my acne-prone skin. After an initial purging period my skin is so much clearer than before. When I use it at night, the morning after when I wake up I also see the immediate results because my pores appear a lot smaller and my skin looks way more smooth. It’s amazing. It also lasts very long, I have only purchased the trial size (30 mL) so far, but still could use it for a couple of months.

For a nighttime moisturiser I feel that this product is too lightweight, it does not feel hydrating&#47;restoring enough at night. 
Also, the packaging with the pump makes it harder to get all the product out if it is nearing empty.

This product, although it is not something special, does the job. Hydrates well, feels lightweight on the skin. It’s a very good moisturizer for people with sensitive skin as it does not contain any irritants such as fragrance&#47;essential oils. It does include ceramides and hyaluronic acid helping the skins barrier and hydration. 
Also nice, it is super affordable and comes in large bottles.

Since it is not a pure form of vitamin C, evidence of it’s efficacy is a lot less, so if you want certainty that it will work, I would choose a different serum. On some PIH spots I have on my face I did not see any improvement after having used the entire bottle up.

The consistency of this product is very watery and lightweight, which I loved. It sinks into the skin very nicely. For visible results, I did see an improvement in hydration of my skin after using it. Also there is no strong smell at all, so I really liked that. The container has a pump so that no air can get to the product, which is a plus, although I wonder if this would even be necessary since it’s not a pure form of vitamin C used. I did not experience any irritation from using this product.
