tuesday: no actives
wednesday: benzoyl peroxide
thursday: no actives
friday: bha
saturday and sunday: no actives

still pretty new to this lmao 😔😔

using bha and benzoyl peroxide?

hi!!

it's been more than half a year since i've started using adapalene (since january). so, i started to incorporate bha/aha into my routine last april. but while i break out less often and my skin texture has gotten better, i still have a lot of stubborn dark spots that i have a hard time removing (although some of them are gone, i still have a lot more of them i worry about). 

i use sunscreen daily, and i've heard retinoids can reduce dark spots.

is there anything i'm doing wrong? :'(

dark spots :((

I'm so happy and so excited over the fact that I'll be able to try these out soon!! [rubs hands together like a little fly] I often enter Picky giveaways and was almost convinced that I'll not be chosen for this one until their e-mail showed up in my inbox LMAO 😂

Thank you so much, Picky and Make P:rem!! 🥺💕

First Time Winning a Picky Giveaway!! 👁️👁️✨

I'd like to try products with Vitamin C in them but most of them seem to include essential oils. I'm allergic to EOs, so some product recommendations would be pretty cool!! 👀✨

Essential Oil-Free Vitamin C Product Recommendations?

i'm confused because picky giveaways are usually free (the last time i won a make prem giveaway here, i didnt have to pay 112 php). 

but when i received the dr ceuracle sunscreens, why am i suddenly required to pay for shipping? i find this unusual for picky.

i need a response, i'm really sad about this 😭

Now, what I didn't like about this product was that it's not waterproof. Not only that, but it collected in the fine lines under my eye and my eyelid (I don't notice this happening with my other sunscreen). Every time I look at the mirror and close one of my eyes, I see a white line, which can be easily removed with your finger, but I don't like touching my face too often. 

Also, if you have compromised skin, this will sting so bad upon a few minutes of application. This sunscreen stung my upper lip and my cheeks back when I was starting to use Epiduo. Maybe when my skin becomes more resilient, I'll try this again in the future.

I'll just share my experience with this for now. I really like that this didn't leave a white cast on my tan skin, as well as didn't leave my face looking too shiny (it's still shiny, but not as shiny as when I use my other sunscreen) by the end of the day. It doesn't have much of a scent either. After months of using it, it didn't break me out at all.

i don't think it'll be nice for warmer season, though. also, it leaves a shiny finish, which i personally don't like, but i only use this at night so i'm fine with it.

this is a thick moisturizer, perfect for the colder weather in where i live!! i find it non-irritating and hydrating during the weeks i've been using this, but i hope this will be also hydrating enough for my skin in the future too, since, as of posting this, i've began using epiduo forte.

Update (January 27, 2022): It's been keeping my face from feeling too tight and dry when I use this in the morning. It's been doing me good!!

i can&#39;t think of any con, to be honest. i had a good experience using this cleanser, and if i&#39;m able to save up money, i&#39;d re-purchase this one!!

features:
- anti sebum p to control excess oil production
- green tea extract to calm the skin
- four types of hyaluronic acid to keep skin hydrated
- gently cleanses skin without leaving it stripped

it has a beautiful, faint green tea scent that intensifies a bit when you rub it into your hands. it has a brown gel-like consistency with green tea leaf bits, and it lathers into a nice foam. a little goes a long way, so it’ll take a long time for me to empty this cleanser!! after washing it off, it didn’t leave my skin tight and dry. it really does live up to its name, leaving my face refreshed after every wash.

firstly, it’s not waterproof. this makes a really good indoor sunscreen, but you might as well buy a waterproof one if you sweat a lot. second, i can confirm that this, indeed, makes my face look so shiny i’d almost outshine the sun. this isn&#39;t something i prefer due to my oily skin, but it&#39;s something a little bit of powder can fix. lastly, the packaging is so tiny for its price; i remember seeing this for the first time, and it’s just a bit tinier than my hand.

features:
- spf 50+, pa++++, chemical sunscreen
- locks in moisture with the help of the 8 types of hyaluronic acid in it
- centella asiatica and fig extract to soothe the skin
- niacinamide and ceramide to strengthen and repair the skin barrier

its texture is like a very light cream that&#39;s easy to blend, and it didn’t leave any white cast on my tan skin. it’s nice that it isn’t irritating, didn’t sting my eyes, and is very hydrating, so i use this in place of a day moisturizer. it has a subtle sunscreen-y scent, but it disappears very fast so i’m okay with it.

i didn&#39;t find anything bad about this one. this was the first ever gentle cleanser i&#39;ve ever used when i was starting to build a skincare routine. if ever i get the chance to buy this one, i would!

features:
- a cleanser with a gentle amino acid formula that doesn&#39;t leave the skin dry&#47;tight after washing, compared to cleansers that has sodium laureth sulfate.
- aloe and tea tree to soothe skin

this cleanser has a faint, citrusy scent, which i really love. it is, indeed, very gentle on the skin, and it&#39;s able to rid the skin of dirt and excess oils. pretty much a good cleanser. i like how it foams up really nicely as well.
