Hi! I have a dry and sensitive skin and I wanted to incorporate retinol in my night time routine. I have read that it's nice to do a sandwich (moisturizer-retinol-moisturizer) first to make your skin adjust to it but what i tried last night is that i use celimax toner since it is packed with ceramides, then i apply my make p:rem ampoule and I mix it with just 1 drop of the ordinary 0.5% retinol because I'm a coward.Lol. Then I didn't apply moisturizer after. Does any one of you have done this before? So far i didn't notice any bad reaction and i decided to do this 1x a week for a month. Just wondering if does this technique makes the retinol less effective if i mix it with a serum rather than applying it directly on my face for more than 1 drop. Sorry and thank you everyone for taking the time to read.  ❤

1st time using a Retinol

I was having so many little bunps in my skin the day after using this, I used this alone to really see the effect that it gives on my skin but it made my skin purge or it developed so many little bumps making it look like it is  a fungal acne. I suspected that it&#39;s because of the ingredient hydrogenated lecithin or the tranexamic acid since it&#39;s my first time using a product with this ingredient.

But it doesn&#39;t mean that  this product didn&#39;t work for me, it may not work on you too. Skin care is very personal and I believe that this product has a lot to offer since the price isn&#39;t that bad for a 100ml product. I really wanna love this product but it seems like this product doesn&#39;t want to love me. If you are looking for a lightweight ampoule that brightens your skin as well as soothes and calms your irritated skin, this is the right product for you.

Claims:
-Has 77% of Centella Asiatica (calms and soothes skin)
-Has 4% Niacinamide (brightening, soothing, moisturizing, barrier repairing)
-Has 2% Tranexamic Acid (brightens dark spots, hyperpigmentation)
- Has Madecassoside, Panthenol, Arginine, 3-0-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid

This product has all the necessary ingredients for skin brightening and soothing irritated skin. It doesn&#39;t feel greasy and 1 drop is good for the entire face and neck. This has micro capsules that is 20,000ppm Madewhite which is a brightening ingredient and the price is reasonable for a 100ml product, this will surely last long. It doesn&#39;t feel greasy, my skin easily absorbs it. Although this product is hypoallergenic and made for sensitive skin, it didn&#39;t help my skin in any way, it made my skin  worst.

I receive this product for free from Picky and make p:rem in exchange for my honest review.

This product contains 80% of Opuntia Ficus Indica-Stem Extract that soothes and hydrates the skin. This ingredient protects the skin from UV rays and this is also rich in Vitamin E, essential fatty acids, amino acids and antioxidants. This ingredient neutralize the damaging effects of airborne pollutants. This  also slows down skin aging.

 I apply this ampoule after I apply my toner&#47;essence and this is kinda viscous but my skin absorbs it quickly and it doesn&#39;t have that greasy feeling. This ampoule hydrates and soothes my irritated skin and I notice that my little red bumps are slowly fading in just 2 days. This is very mild and gentle therefore you can also incorporate this product with your actives. 
This product didn&#39;t purge or break me out and I would highly recommend this to you. I would absolutely purchase this if I ran out. Such a great hydrating and soothing ampoule.

Nothing for now. Maybe just a but pricey that&#39;s why i bought the trial size.

My skin loves it! I have a hypersensitive skin which means that my skin gets red a lot of times and when i apply this as the last step of my skincare routine, when i wake up my skin is moisturized, my pimples are healing, i didn&#39;t experience any rashes or skin purging. I also enjoy the creamy texture since my skin is dry. I bought the trial size and i&#39;m planning to buy the bugger size now.

Nothing bad to say... such a great product

If there is 1 product that I&#39;d save when our house is on fire (knock on wood) it will definitely be this product.

💭Thoughts
This serum has star-studded ingredient list that I LOVE.

💙Rating:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐&#47;5

Would I purchase? It&#39;s available on (ig:credithink for $24.99) YES. ABSOLUTELY!

This gel type moisturizer is perfect especially during summer time because it&#39;s not too thick and my skin absorbs it well. It doesn&#39;t have that greasy feeling and it has a bit of that cooling sensation. I have a very dry and irritated skin but this product addresses my skin concerns. 
It deeply hydrates and soothes my skin. 

I didn&#39;t experience any skin purging or break outs and I notice that when I wake up, my skin looks brighter and a bit moisturized. I do have a dry skin so this might be too light for me but it&#39;s okay. A little goes a long way. This product doesn&#39;t have essential oils and I highly recommend this if you are looking for a lightweight moisturizer that soothes and hydrates your skin at thesame time.
