Have you heard about the Innisfree Retinol Cica? Has anyone tried it? How was it? I have problems with their products because it has fragrance. How about this one? I wanted to try it because it has cica & wanted to give retinol another try.

Innisfree Retinol Cica Repair ampoule

I was ecstatic to try the Ordinary's Niacinamide + Zinc. But it clogged my pores & broke me out. I researched if it could be because of the zinc. But based on my research there is a low to nonchance that zinc could irritate my skin. I also have tried Niacinamide before & it worked well on my skin. Maybe anyone has the same experience or anyone knows why this happened?

What is your most favorite product when it comes to recurring acne?

Favorite product for recurring acne?

I've tried the Ordinary's retinol before. I slowly incorporated it in my routine. I think it took me 6 months before I fully incorporated it (every night) in my routine. But it still broke me out. What could be the cause of this?

I think it would be better if they release a bigger bottle 🥹

- helped control my recurring acne. I usually have textured skin because of that, but this cream improved my skin
- lightweight & non-sticky
- my hyperpigmentations are lighter now compared to when I started using this cream
- gentle on the skin & gives a semi-matte finish.

• I didn't see immediate results even after using it for almost a month. It was only after I added the essence in the routine that I noticed its effect. 🤷🏼‍♀️ So if you're planning to get only this serum, I think it'll take a while for you to really notice any difference. And besides, since it's for wrinkle improvement, you'll only notice it when everybody your age is already developing wrinkles while you're still looking young and fresh 😉

• Packaging : 30ml amber, glass dropper bottle ~the dropper works well & the bottle has a small plastic controller inside so the product won't spill 💯
• it just melts and sinks in the skin immediately ~it's lovely, I liked it instantly the first time I tried it
• doesn't make the skin oily & doesn't pill
• didn't cause any irritation or breakout

- it's not recommended if you prefer Vitamin C level of effectiveness when it comes to brightening

- gentle on the skin
- brightens dull skin
- hydrates the skin
- no stinging
- doesn't make the skin sensitive
- cools down skin temperature

I have no bad experience with this spf. But just a warning for people with sensitive skin that this may irritate your skin since this is a chemical sunscreen. 

• chemical sunscreen
• a gel-type spf that feels like a moisturizer when applied on the skin
• non-tacky & absorbs quicly
• no whitecast
• has a dewy, skin-like finish 

• feels tight on the skin ~I put it here bc I feel a stretch on some parts of my face. It's not painful tho.
• the scent 😣 it's too strong for me & it doesn't disappear that fast

• applies smoothly & easily on the skin
• easy to wash off ~just use those beauty sponge to remove the bits that get stuck on your skin
• cleans out pores
• doesn't make the skin feel dry after washing it off
