Types of Retinol

Hello Picky People, I am currently using my Retinol serum 3 times per week and I'm thinking of upping that to 4 times.  I'm not having any major trouble with it, but I do sometimes get a bit dry in spots.  I'm already using a fairly low concentration and I'm sandwiching it with moisturizer.  So now I'm wondering, can I use my Cosrx Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence with it?
Thanks! 🤗

My current Retinol routine:
-CeraVe  Hydrating Mycellar Water
-Biossance Squalane + Elderberry Jelly Cleanser
-FAB Ultra Repair Face Moisturizer
-Retinol

Retinol Help From My Picky People

Okay, I love the idea of masks, but my skin is too sensitive for peel masks and, although I love sheet masks and do use them sometimes, I'm looking for another type of mask (either a leave on or one that just stays on for a few minutes).  My skin is also a bit too dry for clay masks.
Please help!  😊

Hello All, on my profile it says that I have 0 referrals...  what are referrals and do I need to... get some? Thanks! 😊

What's a referral?

I didn't find it really did much.  It wasn't very hydrating and I didn't see any changes in my skin one way or another.  Had it been inexpensive it could have been a nice, light summer product, but at the price, I'd expect something more.  I'd also say that with the fragrance, it's probably not a great choice if you have sensitive skin.

This has a lovely, floral scent that's not over powering and has a silky, light texture and it quickly absorbs to leave my skin feeling soft.  It has nice packaging and I certainly felt like it was a luxury experience.

It does leave quite a noticeable white cast and is greasy for a little bit.

This spreads so nicely!  I find a lot of physical blocks are hard to spread evenly.  This one also lasts well, has no scent, and does a great job of SPF protection.

I do need to double cleanse if I wear makeup.

This Biossance Squalane + Elderberry Jelly Cleanser is a HG product for me! 💓  It&#39;s soothing and leaves my skin clean, smooth, and hydrated and not at all stripped.  It starts as a jelly and turns milky as you massage it on.  I definitely need to double cleanse if I&#39;m wearing makeup, but it works well for sunscreen and just a daily cleanse.  I love squalane, and this definitely leaves that silky feel on your skin that comes with that ingredient.  It&#39;s unscented, so nice for sensitive skin and it&#39;s in the mid price range (but well worth it).

It leaves a white cast on my lips and it tastes TERRIBLE!  I&#39;ve never had this problem with anything else I&#39;ve put on my lips, so I feel like it doesn&#39;t stay put awfully well.  It also feels sticky and heavy and isn&#39;t very pleasant to have on.

I&#39;m sure it does its job (I&#39;ve never burned my lips so I  don&#39;t have anything to compare it to) and i like that it has a reasonably high SPF.  It is fragrance free.

In order to get enough SPF protection, you need to apply quite a bit and I end up looking and feeling a bit greasy.  Although the fragrance is fairly light, it is definitely there and could irritate your skin or other allergies.  I do find that it pills after having it on for a while (mostly around my hairline and eyebrows).

It&#39;s easy to apply evenly and has a light and pleasant smell.  I&#39;ve never burned with it, so it does its job well.  It&#39;s also very affordable and easy to find.
