I started reporting to office daily and doing my makeup+getting all the city pollution, and I get 3 hours of sleep, because of this, I think it'll make my skin weak and have higher risk of getting irritated if I use actives.

My goal is to make my skin healthy and/or keep it healthy (no acne/plump/glowing). I still want to use chemical exfoliant 1x a week because I use make up.

Here's what I plan to use, please let me know if you have suggestions

Is this enough? too much? Impossible?


DAILY AM:
•Water for cleansing
•Skin1004 Probio-Cica Serum
•Rovectin Skin Essentials Barrier Repair Face and Body Cream
•Tocobo Bio Watery Sun Cream

DAILY PM:
•Biore Makeup Remover Cleansing Oil or Torriden Dive-In Cleansing Water
•Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser
•Skin1004 Probio-Cica Toner
•Skin1004 Probio-Cica Serum
•Jumiso All Day Vitamin Brightening and Balancing Facial Serum
•Dear Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Cream
•By Wishtrend Vitamin A-mazing Bakuchiol Night Cream

1x/WEEK:
•By Wishtrend Mandelic Acid 5% Skin Prep Water

I prefer cleansing oils that emulsify when in contact with water because it's easier to wash off

Has anyone tried Hatomugi's cleansing oil, does it emulsify?

It piqued my interest because of the brand rep, price point and volume, they have 500ml

Know any alternative or recos?

Cleansing oil recos, I prefer the ones that emulsify

Did you know about Picky Deals?
I just saw this from the site, it's such a good deal to have this full set for only $20. Really hope they have more of these soon, I love sets😍😍

edit: apparently, they have quota of 100 buyers, if not, they will refund the money

Update: it's been removed from the site, I'll ask Picky via email, there was still 9 days left

MLE Skin Barrier formula and 3-Calming Complex to deliver long-lasting moisture along with strengthening the skin barrier. Clinically tested for 3-second moisturization and inner skin moisture improvement

If you've tried the MLE Cream from Atopalm, the Real Barrier Extreme Cream will remind of you of it. This cream is very thick yet still manages to be easily absorbed, when I put this one on, my skin would look bare and moisturized. It also doesn’t feel heavy, unless you put more than enough. I am only using the Real Barrier Cream at night with my rosehip oil on top and that's it, my skin likes a minimal routine and my current routine with this cream is doing well so far

re-rating this to holy grail👑 perfect for my sensitive -reactive skin

🏁 EMPTIED

I don't know if it's their MLE tech but I love this, the atopalm mle cream, and panthenol cream

High protection sunscreen with SPF 50+ PA++++ to effectively keep UV rays at bay, this vegan-friendly and cruelty-free sunscreen comes in a lightweight formula that absorbs instantly into skin, leaving zero white cast.

I've never been more aware of the meaning of the word "lightweight". The day I received this sunscreen, I immediately opened and tried it. It was sooo light, I put another layer to my face because it didn't feel like something's on my skin. After another layer, it still feels the same😱💯. I've been using this up to now, it doesn't have fragrance, no whitecast, not greasy but dewy looking finish like most sunscreens, and it doesn't feel hot wearing it, my face doesn't sweat or feel warm underneath, I really can't feel that it's there (not complaining though)

✅ SPF 50+ PA++++
✅ very lightweight and quick-absorbent texture
✅ no white cast
✅ non-greasy looking
✅ vegan and cruelty-free

When I used I only 1 dropper-full of this for my face, it didn't do much but when I added more layers, it worked better

This serum claims to instantly hydrate skin with 7 types of hyaluronic acid making skin look plumped and healthy looking. It also has adenosine that offers anti-wrinkle and skin firming benefits.

I had acne on my second week of use due to my period but after that, this helped my skin bounce back to a better state. The Hydro Boost Solution Serum makes skin plump, and it seems my skin becomes healthier in the morning. I apply three layers at night right after shower, on damp skin. This is what I always do with hyaluronic acid serum except for the layering which I only adopted recently, layering feels like a much better choice for me now. 

I don't know how I can compare this to my previous hydrating serum (see previous HA serum review), when I was using that one my skin was in good condition, and I had few "healthier" habits. While using this one now, I sleep not earlier than 4am, drink a lot of coffee, dairy, and barely drinks water in a day so this serum's performance is quite impressive

✅ very hydrating
✅ smooth application and non-sticky finish
✅ promotes healthy-looking skin
✅ suitable for sensitive skin

Formulated with MLE Skin Barrier Formula to minimize moisture loss and adding hydration to the skin as you clear out the impurities from the day. A great way to gently cleanse the skin.

I ran out of my gentle hydrating cleanser the same day Real Barrier Cream Cleansing Foam arrived so I strictly used this from that day forward. As an oily skin, I don't like foam cleansers as they make my skin feel dry and squeaky but this one feels just like a hydrating cleanser after rinse, it becomes a soft cream once it comes in contact with water and doesn't lather up too much which is good in my book. My skin still feels soft and has good amount of moisture. I also think you'll like the minty feel of this, so cool💙

Didn't notice anything that I don't like
No sting
No stickiness

Got this thick queen in sample tube, this is a heavy brownish cream. I use this at night by putting a small amount on one finger and gently spread & massage on the skin around the eyes. I cannot confirm the effectivity of the cream on eye wrinkles since I have none yet but I love the added moisture on my eyes😋
