Cheat sheet Niacinamide

Hey picky members! Lately i’ve noticed some fine lines around my nose and neck area. I want to start using some type of vitamin A product, do you guys have recommendations? Or some favourites that you want to share?😊

A retinol product recommendation?

It has a very watery texture so you have to work fast, otherwise it would sink into your hands before you get the chance applying it on your skin. 
After applying it on your skin you can feel it getting a little bit sticky, but it won’t affect your moisturizer soo it’s not a big deal.
Last but not least; the expire date… you can only keep the product up to 6 months. I don’t use a lot soo after 6 months I maybe still have half of the product left.

The products from the ordinary are super affordable but it is most of the time a hit or a miss.

This lactic acid 5% is definitly a hit for me!
I have sensitive skin so I was scared for a negative reaction but it didn’t disappoint me! This super gentle formula is good for people with sensitive&#47;sensitized skin because it has a low percentage of lactic acid. 

The first day after using this product: 
My face looked brighter and felt softer. I have a scar left over from my pimple and you really could see that it was lighter. 

A few months after using this product:
-A little goes a long way! I use 2 drops for my entire face and after 3 months i’ve only used 1&#47;5 of the bottle! 
-The scar completly faded and I have less congestions (for example blackheads and whiteheads)

I didn’t like the packaging; when you almost finished the product you have to squeeze the last bits out and because the packaging is made of some type of metal it can get damaged on the side .

I got this cream described from my doctor because my skin barrier was damaged. I used this product every single night and my skin was completly healed after a month of using this.

It has a very thick texture because it contains pretoleum jelly. It helps calm my skin because it has cica. The product also has copper and zink to help heal and calm my skin.

On the packaging it says that it’s a daily skin detox cleanser but it has tiny little beats in it. The first time using it I was confused because of the beats, it didn’t felt very pleasent and it didn’t removed my sunscreen completly. Due to the beats I don’t think it’s good for an everyday use.

This gel type cleanser feels hydrating on the skin and it is super affordable €7&#47;150ml.

This product has lots of fragrance components such as: citral, limonene and leptospermum petersonii oil
Those were damaging my skin in the long run.

It is also very drying, once you rinsed the product off your face you could feel the tightness on your skin.

This foaming cleanser is very easy to use; there are instand bubbles when you push down the pump.

🌿It has ‘Salix alba bark extract’ which is a derivative from salicylic acid that calms the skin and help with acne.
🌿it also has ‘Melaleuca alternifolia leaf oil’ also known as ‘Tea tree oil’ and it’s antibacterial.
These two ingredients helped me with my forehead texture.

The product claming that it will clear your blemishes in only 2 days is just marketing, it didn’t helped at all!
I have used this product for over 4 months and my skin barrier got only weaker by using this cleanser. 

It lathers up very quickly because it contains soap, due to that my skin felt really stripped afterwards and dry. 
The formula also contains very thin and small charcoal parts that acted like a scrub.
