So, I just wanted to ask y'all how you use retinol (eg. do you use it directly on bare skin, do you use it after toner or do you use it after hyaluronic acid etc.) in your skincare routine. So, let me know what your routine for using retinol is. I'm curious and interested to know more ways to use retinol effectively. Also, it'd be great if you guys could share some tips with me about how to reduce the dryness after retinol usage. Thank you! 😊

How do y'all use retinol as a part of your routine?

It is a brand new bottle. It seems like it has a yellow color. Is it still safe to use?

Hello everyone! Do you guys have any interesting recommendations for skin barrier repair products for dry skin to use during the winter? If so, please do let me know! It'd help me out more if they're on the affordable side!

Mayne this is the wrong place to ask about this? Idk. I just wanna know how the custom fees situation works for giveaways and how I can find out if I'd have to pay the custom fees for a specific giveaway or not. Should I contact the brand? How does it all work? All and any details on this topic would be highly appreciated. Thank you!

I have been dealing with dark circles lately due to my late night work schedule and also found out how well retinaldehyde actually works for my skin recently. So I have a question for y'all. Is it okay to  add retinaldehyde to my moisturizer and use it under my eyes? If yes, would it help reduce my dark circles? What do y'all think? (My moisturizer does not have any kind of actives by the way. It is just a thick, soothing marula oil infused ceramide moisturizer.)

Dare I say that this product is just ✨PERFECT✨!

TO PREFACE THIS, I WANT TO MENTION THAT I WAS GIFTED THIS PRODUCT BY PICKY AND I'M WRITING THIS REVIEW AFTER USING THIS PRODUCT FOR ALMOST A MONTH AND OBSERVING ITS EFFECTS ON MY SKIN:



 This is SUCH AN AMAZING ampoule!😍😍❤It is super hydrating and moisture retaining, it is super brightening and very very soothing  (because of the 77% Centella in it of course) as well! As an added bonus, I did observe that it reduced the inflammation of my newly formed pimples almost overnight and dried it out over a few days (maybe this doesn't happen with everyone, but that's been my experience). Its just an all in one kind of product and does so many things for my extremely dry skin (but I do top it off with a moisturizer for additional hydration)! The ingredients are very clean and sensitive skin friendly too! The extremely long dropper is very convenient and comfortable so as to use to product completely without any wastage. It has a grimy texture due to the capsules and it isn't too runny. The capsules dissolve quite quickly into the skin as you tap the product, but warming the serum up between your palms before applying also helps with them dissolving. And finally, the fragrance is very mild and pleasant, so no complaints there! 

The formula might be slightly drying for the winters, so if you're going for this product and have dry skin like me, don't forget to moisturize after using it! 

This is one of my FAVORITE Vitamin C serums ever! 😍 

✨Texture and Feel on the Skin: It has a cloudy white color and has a runny/almost watery texture and so it absorbs really quickly into the skin. Immediately after application it feels a tiny bit tacky on the skin, but that feeling goes away in the next few seconds as the product sinks in.

✨Packaging: The serum has super stable 5% 3-0-Ethyl Ascorbic acid and is packaged in a biophotonic glass bottle to keep it effective for a longer time. The packaging is simple, but classy and effective.

✨Overall Review: It is and amazing serum especially if you're just starting off with Vitamin C. It is easy to use, quick absorbing and quite gentle on the skin too. It really does live up to the claims of brightening, and FOR ME personally, it even helped fade a couple tough acne scars. It isn't irritating in the skin and would work for almost all skin types (although I'd definitely recommend a patch test before using any new products). I'd definitely recommend this especially for beginners! 

✨Something to remember about this product is that it does take some time for it to see the changes it causes on your skin (BUT ITS TOTALLY WORTH THE WAIT). The brand says it takes a while compared to higher percentage Vitamin C serums, so if you're looking for a quick fix, this is not for you. 

Nothing bad about this one really, but it has to be noted that the price is on the steeper side for the quantity we get.

LOVE this lip balm!😍 It is SO SO moisturizing and stays on for quite a while. It even adds a beautiful peachy tint on the lips. Its slightly sticky (not so sticky that your hair might get stuck in it) but still lasts quite long. I even use it in place of my LANEIGE lip masks when I&#39;m on the go. It comes in a compact tube packaging, so its perfect to throw in your bag while on the go and thats a bonus!

The only things to note about this are:
1. It smells like mint. Didn't smell much chocolate, so if you're expecting a more chocolaty scent, I think you'd be disappointed. 2. And the price is on the steeper side, so you might have to save up and buy it when you can splurge.

This is SUCH AN AMAZING lip mask just like the original LANEIGE berry lip mask. It is thick, but not too sticky or uncomfortable. It has a beautiful but mild fragrance and even cools the lips down in the first few minutes of applying it. I usually leave it overnight and wake up to super soft and supple lips. But this can also be used as a lip balm in the mornings and it lasts really long and hydrates SO well! It does not show any color on the lips.

Too many chemicals and too less lasting power make this a product something I&#39;ll probably never pick up again.

A decent enough lip balm that delivers a decent amount of moisture, so yes. It is worth a try. Oh and the scent is decent too!
