I was hyped about this product and bought it because everybody talks about it. Not a good thing to do, but I read a lot of reviews and was interested because the price is nice and I can get it in my country. I am new to skincare (have been involved since January) and I purchased it in February. (My skin is combination one, it can be sensitive, had acne more than 1 year ago.) Tried to use The Ordinary Niacinamide several times, didn't mix with not compatible ingredients, but it broke me out every time really badly. Skin is itchy, burning when I use it, on the next day there always will be pimples on my face. What is wrong?

Is it just me or The Ordinary Niacinamide is not so great?

Helloooo! I have combination skin and it is sensitive (rosacea). I love my Avene Tolerance Emulsion, but I would like to have an alternative to try. Tried Madecassoside Cream from A’Pieu, but it feels so greasy and sticky on my face. Tried Cerave but didn’t like it either. Do you have favourite budget-friendly, non-sticky and light moisturiser? Please help, my skin is dying 🤮

Moisturisers that aren’t sticky please?

Мне повезло! Мне посчастливилось протестировать продукты от бренда SKIN1004 (которые были успешно доставлены напрямую из Южной Кореи через DHL) 

Моя кожа: комбинированная, чувствительная.

1. Madagascar Centella Toner – прекрасный тонер для нежнейшей эксфолиации и увлажнения кожи. Основные компоненты: PHA, ниацинамид, гиалуроновая кислота и высокая концентрация экстракта центеллы. Наносить на кожу после этапа очищения. Замеченный мною профит: кожа сразу после использования сияет, становится мягкой. Накопительный эффект – устранение раздражений и воспалений. Не оставляет за собой липкости, что для меня огромный плюс! Хорошо подойдёт для любого типа кожи, чувствительным особенно. 

2. Madagascar Centella Ampoule – сыворотка, которая состоит – внимание – только из центеллы! 100% чистый экстракт. При этом очень хорошо впитывается в кожу, не скатывается, не оставляет за собой неприятных ощущений жирности. Наносим после тонера и получаем глубокое увлажнение нашей кожи и успокоение. ❤️ Как и тонер помогает с раздражениями. Подойдёт для любого типа кожи. Сейчас это моя самая любимая сыворотка. 

Лично я очень рада, что получила такой подарок, центелла на данный момент – мой самый любимый компонент в составах (привет всем с воспалённой кожей)

А ещё огромный плюс им за красивое оформление товара. Очень эстетично.

Вот такой вот пост ☀️

SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Toner & Ampoule

Hello! :)
My skin is combination, but in summer it gets more oily. In winter and early spring it's really cold in my country, so I used my favorite Isehan Sunkiller SPF that time, but now I feel like it makes my skin too shiny because of the summer heat. I'm not complaining about the product, it's really beautiful sunscreen, but I need something less dewy for this season I guess :)
Please name your favorites, but the price shouldn't be higher than 25$
Thank you ❤️

Affordable SPF for oily skin?

Hi! I am from Kazakhstan and sometimes I don't have an opportunity to buy all the amazing products I see on YT, IG or TikTok. Most of the brands are hard/impossible to find or just too expensive. So here I want to write a review on one of my holy grail products which is from Russian brand KRISTI.
It's called KRISTI Home Sebium Toner with Echinacea (Освежающий Тоник с эхинацеей) 

INGRIDIENTS List (tbh I'm not good at it, but I just know it's important to put them here):
Water (Aqua), Shungite Water, Glycerin, Bis-PEG-18 Methyl Ether Dimethyl Silane, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Propylene Glycol, Echinacea Angustifolia Extract, Hamamelis Virginiana Extract, Diazolidinyl Urea, Iodopropynyl, Butylcarbamate, Propylene Glycol, Disodium EDTA, Perfume, CI 19140, Mentha Piperita, CI 14720.

It normalizes the pH balance of the skin after cleansing, has an anti-inflammatory and soothing effect. Thanks to the oxygen bubbles, it has a light air consistency. It's not liquid as most of the toners, it's really nice gel. I recommend to put on your face when it's cool. It is recommended for vascular disorders (erythrosis, rosacea). I have rosacea and this helped me to reduce my redness really well. 
+ it has a really nice and comfortable packaging, the smell is just SOOOOO GOOD. (Didn't have any issues with fragrance even with my really sensitive skin).

My dermatologist recommended it and I bought it for 7000 KZT (~16$) in official partner's store. 
I used it every single day and I am about to finish my second bottle of it. The first picture is from the internet, the second one is mine :)

Russian Brand Toner for Rosacea

Sometimes it doesn’t give me enough hydration, but for summertime it’s great?

• Calms my irritated skin
• Doesn’t leave a sticky finish
• Doesn’t make my face oily!
• The scent is good, it’s like a medicine 
• Budget-friendly 
• The packaging is nice

It has a little fragrance and sometimes it can be irritating. The smell is good by the way :D

This was my first sunscreen, so I can&#39;t really compare it to any others. I didn&#39;t have any major issues with it anyways. It gives my skin a nice glow, which I love. The consistency of it feels nice, it glides into my skin and absorbs evenly without white cast.

OMG at first i didn’t like it because of its smell, but for my sensitive skin this foam cleanser did such a good job. Never irritated me or left dry feeling. And its cheap too, woah, definitely will repurchase, I guess for summer this will be HG product

The price is high, especially in my country.

This was my 1st Vitamin C serum and I don’t want to look for the alternatives :) My skin is sensitive, but this serum never irritated me. Helped me with my red cheeks, some dark spots, made my skin soft and radiant.

1. Made me break out and itchy
2. Very sticky on my face even after several hours
3. The scent of citrus is strong 
4. Overall just made my skin worse

The ingredient list is impressive for such a low price. Bought it thinking it would help my sensitive skin (rosacea meh).
