does anyone ever tried both of these? which one do you guys prefer for daily use? i have finished the first bottle of soonjung, and i dont know whether to repurchase or not

i’m tempted to the skin1004 tho but it contains PHA i’m afraid it would irritate my skin if i use it day & night? my skin is oily and last month i just got damaged skin barrier but it’s healing now

skin1004 centella toning toner vs Etude house soonjung toner

Hi! can someone please help me / give me any advice?

I started my skincare journey in 2020, where i started getting breakouts & maskne due to the pandemic, I started to use products but constantly changing ( i didn’t have proper knowledge back then ), last month my acnes are almost gone due to using customized skincare from a beautician, but it dried my skin so I didn’t use it anymore, then this month i got my period and i broke out, this is the first time i experience a damaged skin barrier ( itchy, red, skin becomes sensitive even after i wash my face) .. so i decided to cut down all actives ( i was using pc bha 2% liquid exfoliant) and start with only healing products, but I’m afraid that if i don’t use any actives the acnes won’t go away & it clogs my pores too ☹️ my skin is oily dehydrated.. 

I wonder if i can skip actives but use clay masks to clean the pores without disrupting the process of healing my skin barrier? or I should just stick to my healing skincare products? thank you 💖

here are the products i use : 

- bioderma micellar water 
- cerave foaming facial cleanser
- etude house soonjung pH 5.5 relief toner
- cosrx snail mucin
- krave beauty GBR
- La roche posay cicaplast baume b5 (only to irritated parts)
- axis y sunscreen

i damaged my skin barrier 😢

im planning to incorporate AHA to my routine, is there any recommended beginner AHA products? but i prefer average concentration tho bc if it’s too low it would take a long way 😅 thank you ❤️❤️

Best AHA products?

I’m dealing with PIE right now & few active acne, it doesn’t hurt anymore but somehow in the mirror it looks super red.. I heard pc azelaic acid can reduce redness + hyperpigmentation + reduce active acnes? what do you guys think? and which one is more effective overall? pc azelaic acid / pc salicylic acid 2% liquid exfoliant?

thanks in advance ☺️🤍

Experience with Paula’s Choice Azelaic Acid 10% ?

hi! i am actually having many acne scars ( like spots but all over my face) idk whether it is pie / pih as it is like in the middle (not too red, not too black) .. since i have quite sensitive skin, i’m trying to be consistent with my current routine which i have been doing for about 1 month. I’m afraid to use sunscreen because it will make me breakout.. and i think i also need to find a cleansing oil too 😢 which is hard to find the suitable one.. (i’m only using micellar water for double cleansing not cleansing oil)

actually i have been in the house so the sunlight is not really bothering me.. but i still get sunlight even though it’s not really direct. 

Does sunscreen really affect acne? especially acne scars? does it reduce the acne scars / just prevent the future scars to be less visible? thank you 💖

is sunscreen really important?

when the skin is irritated this might be drying and kinda stripping, but does not sting

This product works well for my oily skin! it does not strip my face, for the hydration i don’t feel it, but it leaves a good experience for me ☺️ the texture is gel and it foams a little, which is good

can’t think of any, it does not clog my pores too 👍🏼

Life savior when my skin is irritated! I heard good stuff about this but have only incorporated this since April when my face broke out 😔

Texture:
white cream, it’s thick but not that thick, kinda have a slight oiliness when applied to skin

Experience:
I use it only at night time, and although there is a slight oiliness when applied to skin, it works like magic , heal my skin barrier and the fact that it is not comedogenic, it is safe for me who has oily-acne prone skin!
