I like to try Retinol creams/serum yet I’m afraid. I heard Bakuchiol is safer for those who have sensitive skin. Any recommendations for products with Bakuchiol extract?

Any Bakuchiol Cream/Serum Recommendation?

Hi, I recently received a PR kit from Mary&May brand and one of the products they sent me was their Blackberry Complex Serum. 
I have acne prone skin and I am wondering when should I add them on my skincare routine. Should I use it in the morning or in evening? By the way, I use azelaic acid during my nighttime routine, can I still use them together?

I was planning to incorporate it to my morning routine since it said to have an ingredient that is higher than vitamin c.

Please help. Thank you!

WHEN TO USE MARY&MAY BLACKBERRY SERUM

I’ve been seeing a lot of posts in instagram and tiktok that this vitamin c is very good and is no. 1 vitamin c in korea. Is it real? Have you tried it? Does it really show improvements after 2 weeks?

How effective Goodal Vitamin C is?

I've adhered to this routine for nearly a month. While my complexion is improving, there's consistently a single pimple emerging as the others heal.

Can anyone help me on the proper layering?

How do you layer this skincare products?

Compare to other Niacinamide this one has 2% only, this will take time before you see improvements to your skin.

Mary & May’s 𝙉𝙞𝙖𝙘𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙙𝙚 + 𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙚𝙣𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙨 𝙎𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙨 𝙎𝙚𝙧𝙪𝙢 with 2% niacinamide and 93% Chaenomeles Sinensis Fruit extract, offers brightening and sebum regulation. The serum has a light, non-sticky texture suitable for layering. Ideal for those favoring lightweight skincare, it’s not heavy or sticky. It has a gel-like consistency which morely I like. This 2% niacinamide serum delivers gradual results, making it a solid choice for those starting with niacinamide in their routine.

Why I adore this sun fluid:
1. it’s a mineral (physical) sunscreen, which is ideal for my acne-prone skin.
2. The lightweight texture is a joy to apply.
3. Blending it is a breeze.
4. It gets absorbed quickly.
5. Although it initially leaves a slight white cast, it gradually fades away.
6. It's moisturizing and doesn't leave any stickiness behind.
7. It imparts a refreshing, radiant finish.
8. It's gentle on my skin, causing no irritation or discomfort.
9. The generous 100 ml size is available at the budget-friendly price of only 1,380.

ts lightweight texture makes it easy to apply, and it absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving any greasy residue. I’ve noticed that it effectively soothes and reduces redness around acne spots, thanks to its key ingredient, centella asiatica. With consistent use, I’ve seen a noticeable improvement in the size and appearance of my blemishes. This cream also doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin, which is a huge plus. While it’s not a miracle worker overnight, the gradual results and gentle formula make it a reliable choice for tackling pesky breakouts.

The IUNIK Moisturizing Peeling Gel has proven to be a game-changer for my acne-prone skin. Its gentle exfoliation power is exactly what my skin needed. The gel-like texture makes application effortless, and as I massage it in, I can feel the fine particles working to delicately slough off dead skin cells. Unlike harsher exfoliants, this peeling gel doesn't aggravate my acne; instead, it leaves my skin feeling smoother and looking clearer.

I can feel warm sensation when applied and leaves an acidic scent (maybe because I’m acidic. I hope they can change their bottle into more opaque one.

After 3 weeks of using this Vit. C serum, I can see improvements from my healing acne spots. My Klairs Vitamin C serum lasted for 3 months though it has a transparent bottle the oxidation of the serum doesn’t occur really fast compared to others.
