🟣That's a personal preference and there's no right or wrong answer. ⁣⁣

🟣Single cleanse means cleansing once, generally with a water-based cleanser. Double cleanse means cleansing twice - first with an oil-based cleanser (or balm/micellar water) and second with a water-based cleanser. Double cleanse could also mean using the same cleanser twice.⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
🟣Some say that water-based cleansers are not effective in removing makeup and sunscreen. Many cosmetic scientists don't always agree because a water-based cleanser can be formulated to be effective at removing makeup/sunscreen. So much depends on the surfactants used and its cleansing power. With the advancement in cleanser technology,  many good water-based cleansers can effectively remove sunscreen/makeup without stripping your skin. ⁣Also - duration of cleansing can also play a role. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
🟣When chemists formulate a cleanser, the discussion on "if this should be a first cleanse or second cleanse" generally never comes up. The only directions we follow is to ensure that the cleanser has the adequate ingredients (e.g. surfactants) to cleanse effectively. That means using the right type of surfactant technology.⁣ Marketing usually determines how to sell. ⁣⁣

There is only one study in the literature that basically showed that water-based cleansers and cleansing oil did not show a difference in sunscreen removal. However, cleansing oil did a better job at removing water-resistant sunscreen. This study is way too small (20 participants) to make a generalization though. (https://doi.org/10.1111/jocd.12995)⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
🟢Bottom line: if you enjoy double cleansing, stick to it. If you find a single-cleanse is good enough, that's fine too. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Do you prefer double cleansing? Or single cleanse? No right or wrong answers!

Is double cleansing necessary?⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

I'm very sad because some people upvoted my discussion. . I have never been upvoted to someone else's discussion

why?

yesterday I had a discussion of active ingredients with a friend, my friend said that retinol layering with vitamins accelerates skin regeneration, the perfect combination for treating acne. however, I think using too much active ingredient can cause facial skin to become irritated and over exfoliate. I have also read a page that retinol cannot be layered simultaneously with Vitamin C because it can damage one of the ingredients in the product so that the effectiveness of the product does not work properly.
what about your opinion?
Have you do layering retinol with Vitamin C yet ??

can i layering retinol with Vitamin C ??

🟣Hyperpigmentation is a medical term used to describe darker patches of skin. These patches result from excess melanin production, which can be caused by everything from acne scars and sun damage to hormone fluctuations. 𝐈𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐡𝐲𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐩𝐢𝐠𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧'𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
🟣When treating hyperpigmentation using OTC products, it's good to tackle it via different stages of melanin formation (i.e. before, during, or after) using different pathways (such as inhibiting processes that play a role in melanin creation or by breaking down melanin.) ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
🟣I've broken down the different pathways, along with ingredients that help. It's very likely that many products have a combination of these ingredients so you don't have to layer too many products at once - probably not a good idea to do that anyway since too many products at once could lead to irritation. ⁣⁣

HYPERPIGMENTATION

I don&#39;t really like the sensation of the initial use. because of the heat effect. But don&#39;t worry, such sensations don&#39;t last long. only for a moment, the rest of the skin feels calming.

I like the texture and smell of the mugwort. . During this 1 month use, the skin feels cleaner, free of dead skin, sebum, the pores are more compact, and has a brightening effect. no dry effect on facial skin.

Untuk pemilik kulit kering sepertinya akan merasa kurang lembap, tapi untuk kulit oily justru suka banget karena tidak ada rasa lengket.

Pengalaman pas pakai Aloe propolis shooting gel dari Benton asli enak banget diaplikasikan ke kulit wajah, yang paling suka itu gampang nyerap dan gak meninggalkan kesan lengket. Bikin kulit lembap, adem, dan ini bisa dijadikan base sebelum makeup biar gak kering kulitnya. .

kurang suka hasil akhirnya yang sedikit greasy

The texture is like a lotion, easy to apply to facial skin, does not cause a white cast. travel friendly packaging.

Tidak ada yang tidak aku suka dari toner ini

Toner favorit kedua dari cosrx, aku dapetin toner ini hadiah giveaway dari cosrx paket Christmast. . Yang aku suka, toner ini memiliki texture yang mudah menyerap, ampuh buat angkat kotoran. Terbukti pas aplikasi ke kapas terus usap ke muka kapas menjadi sangat kotor, kulit  wajah menjadi bersih. . Ukuran 30ml cukup untuk penggunaan 1 bulan, bisa dipakai setiap hari. . Non fragrance, gak ada kesan perih di kulit wajah. .

Tidak bisa digunakan setiap hari, sekali pengunaan kulit terasa kering dan perih. .jadi wajib&#39; pake toner hydrating atau serum yang mengandung Hyaluronic Acid.

Toner BHA pertama saya, sejak mengenal cosrx. Toner ini konsentrasinya lumayan tinggi, sangat ampuh buat mengatasi Milia, kulit mati, menghilangkan komedo hitam. . Memperbaiki texture kulit wajah
