Dear fellow picky people 👋

I've recently tried a couple of products with cyclopentasiloxane as the first ingredient - which I understand is a silicone derivative that is considered safe. 🧐

Other ingredients including dimethicone and polysilicone for example. 🧪⚗

The textures are amazing and a little weird because they feel cloudlike or featherlike on my skin ✨ 🪶

But what do you think of them? 🤷‍♀️

I have read that maybe silicone derivatives may be bad for the environment? 🤔

What do you think about silicone based products? 🤔

I&#39;m not sure if it&#39;s antioxidant strength means it is good enough to replace my vitamin A step in the morning. The instructions suggest using it twice a day but it doesn&#39;t fit well into my nighttime routine (exfoliation, cleansing, and retinol).

Love this oil! I found it nice and light when applied to my skin. It works great in the morning for gua sha. 

It has a lot of botanicals that are ostensibly high in antioxidants.

I was a little concerned that it might make me break out but it didn&#39;t at all.

Helped my skin feel soft and moisturized.

I actually didn&#39;t like the glow effect on my face. It made me feel a bit like the tin man 🤖

This product does not contain chemicals that are known to be harmful to coral reefs!

I actually kind of liked the scent?

It is simple and a food strength for a relative retinol beginner like me. Looking forward to seeing the results!

I&#39;m nervous about possible skin damage due to the sun sensitivity it causes 😬

This is my first stronger AHA &amp; BHA product and I couldn&#39;t believe how lovely and soft my skin felt after just one use!

Every time I used it in the evening I broke out in the am. Wouldn&#39;t recommend to leave on your face if you have already oily or acne prone skin like me!

I liked the branding and packaging overall. 📦 got from a causebox - my first dropper serum ever which was kind of exciting!
