Hi girls of the Picky community! I don’t know if anyone has made a post like this before, but I think it’s important to say. I think we should all try not to address each other by saying “girls” or “ladies” because not all of us on this platform are female! Please don’t think I’m calling you out, I just want to be inclusive. 😊 There are so many amazing men and non bianary people in this community that we don’t want to leave out! Let’s make inclusivity our goal. 🥰 ❤️

Hi picky fam! I’m curious, what brands/products aren’t available to you (or are too expensive) in your country that you would like to try?

Unavailable brands/products

When you use a product that comes in a dropper, do you put it in your hands first or apply it straight from the dropper onto your face? Is there a reason behind why you do what you do? I once heard a derm on YouTube say that putting product directly on your face from the dropper is unhygienic, but I see so many skinfluencers do it and even qualified experts. What are your thoughts on this?

Hello! 😊 I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions of a nice sunscreen for the body. I’m looking for something affordable that comes in a large size, but would be small enough to fit into a bag to carry around during the day. I struggle with body acne so I’m also trying to find something kinda light weight that won’t block pores. Any suggestions? What kind of sunscreen do you use on your body?

I just started using pimple patches for the first time! How long am I supposed to keep them on? Or what is the longest I can keep them on for? I’m using the Cosrx ones, what other brands of pimple patches do you like? Thanks!!

I tried applying this product on dry skin and it actually made my skin drier. This is what I found online. “Hyaluronic acid will draw moisture from wherever it can find it to hydrate the surface of your face, including the deeper levels of your skin if there is no humidity in the air.” Since this happened I have learned that it is best to apply hyaluronic acid to a wet face, but I feel like that is especially important with this product.

Edit: With continued use my face still felt dry when using this product. I resorted to using it after my shower on my neck and chest while my body is still wet. I enjoy using it this way a lot more.

When used on wet skin this is hydrating and makes the skin feel supple. It is thinker than the average toner; it’s closer to a serum consistency than a watery one. I really like that about this product.

It contains fragrance, if that is a concern of yours. My skin can be sensitive but I don’t have a reaction to this. It is also a little difficult to spread.

This mask makes my face feel so soft and smooth! Its main ingredient is honey and it smells like it too (along with a mint scent). I was worried about it having a physical exfoliant, but it isn’t rough on my face at all, it is very gentle. The mint makes it feel so refreshing and the honey makes it feel nourishing. Definitely a thumbs up!

I wish this product did not come in a tube. I struggle to get the last of the product out and the tube has broken open from me squeezing as I tried to empty it because it is metal.

I absolutely love this product. I have very dry skin and I use this as a moisturizer. When I started using this product I began receiving lots of compliments on my skin. For a time I stopped using it and I immediately saw a difference. I cannot imagine removing this from my routine.

When I originally bought this I had dehydrated skin. I was expecting a thick nourishing moisturizer. This is not like that. But when my skin went back to normal, I went back to this product and fell in love with it!

I love this so much I have made it part of my daily routine. It is hydrating yet light at the same time. It blends into the skin very well and is perfect for layering. 😊

It takes a little longer to remove waterproof eye makeup, but it still does an amazing job.

This oil cleanser is lightweight and doesn’t feel to heavy or greasy. When I wash it off it doesn’t leave any residue or other bad feeling. 

I really like using this cleanser as a first step in my night routine. It does a great job at removing eye makeup and cleaning my face. It also smells SO good. This is a product I would definitely repurchase in the future!
