Hi, I was wondering if I could use retinol serums even in sunny weather. I know it makes your skin photosensitive so I don't know if I should stop and opt for products with gentler ingredients. Last summer I developed a really bad breakout on my chin, so I stopped using actives altogether.  Should I stop again this year?

Can I use retinol in summer?

I've read a lot about these two brands, and recently bought the famous snail mucin essence by Cosrx. I've seen that Coxir has a snail essence too. How do these two products (and brands) compare?

I'm running out of my everyday moisturizer and I'm looking for a replacement. In the warmer seasons I like to put on a more lightweight cream (currently I'm using the ceraVe moisturizing lotion, but I'm ready for a change). Do you have any suggestions for a good product that is not extremely oily and that it is easily available in Europe? 
Thank you 💕💕

Hi everyone! I'm looking for some retinol recommendations. I'm currently using the inkeylist serum, but I'm ready to step up my retinol game.
Thank you 💕

Retinol recommendation ✨️✨️

Hi, I'm looking for a new retinol to include in my routine. I'm currently using the inkey list retinol, but I think I'm ready to move on. 

Do you have any suggestions for retinol on a budget??? 
Thanks 💕💕💕

I found that this doesn't work well if applied under makeup. Unfortunately, when I tried putting it on before my makeup routine, my blush applied patchy and pilled a lot. 
It's not a big deal because I prefer to use a suncream as a base of my makeup, so I will use this only for reapplication. 

An aspect I didn't like about this product was its size. It's so tiny 😣
It is very convenient to bring around, but 14 grams is just too little! I wish it came in a bigger amount because I do really like it... please 

I received this product for free from Picky and THANK YOU FARMER in exchange for my honest review.

I liked this sunstick a lot! It's not greasy at all, and the finish is matte and velvety! It really gives my face a healthy and glowy look and minimizes the excessive oil that my skin produces during the day! 

It's very light on the skin and applies smoothly. I don't use sunsticks often, and before this, I had very little experience with them, but I liked every aspect of this one. 

I wanted to know how it worked with makeup, as sunstick are often used for reapplying sun protection conveniently throughout the day.
I didn't have any problem with it when placed above my makeup. Of course, it did grab some when swiping it across my face, but my foundation and blush remained in place!

It is a targeted serum, so in the bottle you only get niacinamide as an active ingredient. If you don't like a multi-step routine, I would opt for a product with niacinamide as an ingredient. Also it dries out a little bit around the opening, but it doesn't bother me

Love it! It is so lightweight and easy to spread. Very effective for uneven skin and to reduce sebum production. It's a must in my skincare routine!

I have nothing negative to say about this mask, I only think this is better suited for warmer weather, as it is very lightweight and you might want something more occlusive in winter

This product is very lightweight and watery, and a little amount goes a long way! I've been applying this mask every night and I can really feel the difference. My skin always feels so plump and soft the morning after.

At first the consistency was not my favourite unfortunately. But I got used to it. Also it is not easily accessible in my country, I wish I could find it in stores 

I've seen this product all over Instagram for quite a while, and recently I bought it myself to see if all the hype was worth it. Let me tell you, I love this product! As soon as I apply it my skin feels plump and hydrated. And the glow that it gives you afterwards is amazing! I would really recommend it 

Usually la Roche posay's sunscreens are my favourites, but this product was not it. As soon as I apply it, it pills like crazy (no matter how much I put on) and it leaves a heavy white cast. When I applied it for the first time this summer vacation I was so embarrassed because how bad it was on my skin... I'm sorry, I will return to the anthelios fluid and will never touch this product again 

This product actually gave me the matte effect that it claims, but at what cost?
