honest thoughts on rejuv sets

True miss! It's just so sad that the general market sees these products as the easiest way to achieve those clear glass skin without even considering it's after effects. Plus it's so scary how the skin looks so paper thin.

I got really carried away by their claims and most of the people i know personally are using rejuvenating sets, they literally achieved that "glass skin" look in a short period of time. So i got curious and tried it too [i know, huge mistake🤦🏻‍♀️]. Within two weeks of "tiis ganda" my skin became so clear! My skin is already clear before trying rejuv but the clear skin that it gives is so different like literally, it looks like the perfect glass skin you see on the internet. In my mind i was like great! This product is effective and cheap given that it comes on a set, I felt like this will really be the answer for me to always have a glass skin. Well... that's what i thought. After 4 weeks when I'm about to finish the set small bumps started to appear on the sides of my mouth and nose [i didn't know it was pariola dermatitis at first], at first i didn't mind it because it disappears right away because the toner exfoliates it but it then comes back after a few days worst than before. I am still happy with my skin condition that time until cystic pimples started to grow underneath my skin. Specifically on my cheeks! I've never in my life grow a pimple on my cheeks it's always either on my nose or forehead and also i felt like the pimples grew at the same time overnight. I am so confused that time. My skin got extremely as in EXTREMELY sensitive, every product that i put on to my skin stings even those products that are made for sensitive skin hurts my face😭, 1st and 2nd pic was taken on October 16,2020 supposed to be the 5th week of me using rejuv but i stopped using it already on oct. 12,2020. I was so down that time, i even stop doing vlogs [I was just about to start growing my channel that time] because it hurts and I'm not comfortable showing my face on cam like that. It really messed up my mental health and self-esteem. After stopping rejuv my skincare journey became a roller coaster. i tried to look for products that could help me. I watched so many videos of dermatologists on YouTube like dr. Dray, Shereene Idriss, Dr Alexis Stephens, Doctorly etc. it took so long for me to realized that i have extremely broken skin barrier😓🤦🏻‍♀️. As per their advice i decided to simplify my routine for a month AM routine is cleanse with water only, moisturize on damp skin, then sunscreen, PM cleanser and moisturizer on damp skin. It helped my skin to recover from the damage that over exfoliating/rejuv caused. Throughout my journey i discovered Picky and Kelly Driscoll. Other than dermatologists, Picky and Kelly Driscoll also made a huge influenced on how my skincare routine looked like now. I became obsessed with skintok [skincare contents on tiktok] as well because there are so many dermatologist tiktokers there. I always see them recommending retinoids/tretinoin saying how powerful it is for treating so many skin problems like acne,hyperpigmentations, aging etc. the "golden stardard" they said. Although my skin barrier is kinda okay that time i still have some pimples and hyperpigmentations, so guess what? I did my research and got extremely intrigued by tretinoin. I know that we should use it under the supervision of a derm because it has a purging effect but in my location derm clinics are not that accessible plus it's pandemic. In my mind i said f it I'm taking the risk it's a well researched ingredient and even if i purge no one will see because it's valid not to go outside. I ordered 0.05% tretinoin online without prescription and here i am now,, survived the purging stage lol. My journey on tret is a different kind and a still onging story.💖

Same. I think these brands are just jumping onto the bandwagon of "Instant Clear Skin" without even considering the chemicals and ingrediets on each product. 😕

True! Too bad the general market sees this as the gateway solution to their problems. Im actually a bit scared seeing people with extreme peeling and even skin the easily gets red when in contact with the sun.
