Hi picky users,
I realise that in most of the products in our routine contains niacinamide. I ALSO realise that niacinamide is a HG raved by many.

My skin can tolerate routines with niacinamides, however, whenever I try to start slow (5% niacinamide serums) it gives my skin tiny bumps and whiteheads... no matter what the brand is. 

I just want to know if I'm not alone! 😂

My skin doesn't like niacinamide! Am I the only one?

Which one do you prefer? Sometimes exfoliating serums contain lower pH than a hydrating toner, but the hydrating toner is less viscous... thats one example. It's confusing for me tbh 😣
Bc many sources said that in order for ingredients to function to the optimum levels pH levels should be considered..

pH levels or thinnest to thickest rule

Which one is your pick? Or do you pick both? Why?

Exfoliating Serum or Exfoliating Toner

Some of you might want to exfoliate and have other serums to tackle your own skin concerns. My question is, do you still use vitamin C regardless the added exfoliation and targeted serum in your routine? Why?

Kalian pakai Vitamin C ga di rutinitas kalian? Meskipun mungkin kalian udah exfoliasi, pake serum, dsb!

Vitamin C Routine/ Rutinitas Vitamin C

This is not a game changer for me, perhaps for duller looking skin, this may show more noticeable effects.

Hi! As a disclaimer I would like to remind you that this is merely based on my experience:

What I like from this essence are as below:
-Versatility. You can use it as an essence, as an essence it makes other products get absorbed better, and this essence also absorbs into skin instantly.
You can use it as a serum too as its texture mimics a gel and it contains a high concentration of snail secretion filtrate, along with bee venom which is known for its healing properties and oligopeptide.
-My skin feels plumpier, smoother and more hydrated whenever I add this to my routine.
-My skin looks slightly more radiant after emptying a bottle (Disclaimer: my skin is never looking dull tho from the start)

I almost can't think of any bad things about this except for the price I guess, and the glass bottle which may be prone to breakage.
Another thing is for such a luxurious bottle, the sticker looks cheap..

I really love this product as using this means I no longer need to use a hydrating toner. After shaking it, the texture is milky and got absorbed easily by skin. The good thing is it doesn't feel tacky nor sticky. I can go up to 3 layers and simply feel nourished and plump.
It also does not sting my eczema flareups, which is an important factor to me.

Oh dear lord I don&#39;t want to say these but firstly, IT IS SOOO SLIMY AND TACKY. It takes FOREVER to absorb into my skin. It makes the next steps a hard job for me, making other steps hard to get absorbed. I hate this toner. Period.

WELL I don&#39;t recommend this product but if your skin is extremely dry or dehydrated you can use this! 

If you want a simple step... You can use this and skip everything else. It is sooo hydrating and quite moisturising, honestly.

It is enriched with 45% Sodium Hyaluronate and 5% Sea Buckthorn, along with Licorice and Niacinamide.

I do feel like it doesn't do anything to my skin tho! Although it has higher concentration than sukari babyfacial, i feel that the latter is stronger and brightens my complexion.

The good thing about this product is that it is more concentrated than TLC sukaribabyfacial. It doesn't sting as much as Sukari Babyfacial and it comes with a reasonable price.

I have nothing to rant about this product! You can simply mix it with any toner or any serum-mind the pH level tho!

This is such a gem for me! As someone with neverending sebaceous fillaments, I really love this since it really helps making my pores look cleaner. 

Another thing is the texture. It is very runny, liquid-y-watery and absorbs in an instant. It does not make your skin sticky nor tacky. I guess the texture allows the formula to fully penetrate deep into my skin. 

Despite being runny, it does not irritate my skin, does not sting my face too. 

Overall, it is an effective and fuss-free 2% SA serum that you can add into any routine!
