Hi, Picky Community.

I started using Adapalene (Differin) last Sunday and I still plan to use my 2% Salycilic Acid (Paula's Choice) during the week. Also, I have mugwort claymask (Isntree) which I look into squeezing in. 

If my schedule allows me to apply Adapalene on Sundays, when should I use the two other products listed above?

Thank you!

Scheduling use of actives, any help, please?

Hi, Picky Community!

I recently purchased Paula's Choice 2% BHA Exfoliant. How do I layer this product?

Thank you for your response!

How do you layer a BHA exfoliant?

Hi, Picky Community!

I am on my second tube of Axis-Y Dark Spot Correcting Serum. I was wondering if this product can be used as a moisturizer even if it is labeled as serum, since it has Squalane which is an emollient.

Please note that unlike other serums, this product has a gel-like consistency.

Thank you for your help!

Can Serum serve as a Moisturizer if Serum has Squalane?

I bought mine online and when the package arrived, the serum already has a faint yellowish color to it.

TRUE TO ITS PROMISE!!!

I have emptied a bottle after two months of consistent use and it did deliver on its promise. It visibly lightens dark spots on my face. Also, its texture can be easily worked with as it is watery and lightweight.

It is so concentrated as it is composed of 70% Vitamin Tree Water and 21.5% Pure Vitamin C.

This is definitely on my repurchase list! I do not mind keeping it inside the fridge when not in use in order to prevent it from oxidizing real quick.

My skin found no trouble with its alcohol and fragrance content, however, it might be displeasing to some. Also, it has a minimal whitecast. 

Before switching to this sunscreen, I have used for a long period a time another one that would sting my eyes by end of day. When I started using Anessa's, I have not once felt any sting to my eyes even if I religiously reapply throughout the day.

Its texture is smooth and silky,  it spreads easily, and it does not pill. Alone, it provides a powdery matte finish; but when I apply it on top of my daytime moisturizer, it gives my skin a dewy finish. 

This one is best for those with oily skin like mine.

It does not address any crow-feet concern and I have not experienced any slight noticeable brigthening effect with one month use.

What I love about this product is that it comes in a tube and a nozzle tip -- hence, you can control how much product you are getting without contaminating the rest of it.

What I find interesting is that before using this product, I found milia under my right eye. After using the product for quite some time, the milia are gone. Also, it works great as a facial moisturizer. It leaves my skin supple in the morning.

I have not experienced any allergic reaction with this ampoule, but caution must be had.

This is a must-have ampoule if you are looking for one that is soothing and calming. It calms the zits! I layer this after applying a chemical exfoliant because it works to protect the skin barrier.

Even though the product is viscous straight out of the bottle, when applied on the skin, it is surprisingly lightweight and can be easily penetrated into the skin. It is so lightweight that even if I seal it with a watery moisturizer, it does not feel heavy at all.

This is a soothing and moisturizing ampoule that can best pair any sensitizing acid or active ingredient. I layer this product right after a potent vitamin C serum and it works to reduce any stinging sensation caused by the latter. 

The ampoule has a low viscosity and the angled tip of its applicator is pure genius.

All-in-all, the ampoule is an effective product in maintaining a healthy skin barrier or repairing one that is compromised.
