Hi skincare lovers! 

I have very deep horizontal neck lines that crease when I look down.  

I’m wondering if anyone knew any way to reduce these creases and can recommend some products? I understand it might be genetic and not fully reducible but if there’s any way to reduce through skincare I’m open to tips and tricks!

Products to help reduce neck lines?

Hi Picky users, 

Just wondering if the community had any good suggestions for Canadian k-beauty and j-beauty online retailers! I get sad when I look at high shipping costs and potential customs fees, so any recommendations would be super helpful! 


Where I currently get my skincare if others are looking: 

Mikaela Beauty (Canadian)  

Stylevana (no customs so far, lower free shipping amounts) 

Yolo-lysm (Canadian, low free shipping amount)

K-beauty for Canadians: Where to Buy?

Contains scent and a lot of extracts so i would not recommend for sensitive skin.

This cream is rich with 5 different types of hyaluronates to deliver moisture. Green tea water and cannabis sativa oil work together to soothe and moisturize skin. 

The (melon?) smell of this is divine. It’s so refreshing and really makes using this cream enjoyable. The texture is thicker than gel but I wouldn’t consider it a heavy cream for me. I could use this in my morning or evening routine as it’s a nice middle. This does deliver the moisture I need throughout the day and works as a good makeup base. I also feel like it calms my skin down when I apply it.

Nothing bad about this product. You will still need to put on a moisturizer after because while it does a fantastic job of hydrating, it doesnt particularly create a long lasting moisture barrier that will last the day.

Very watery texture. As soon as you put this on the hydrating feeling and effect is immediate. Very easily absorbed and you can really feel your skin drinking this in. 😛

I honestly think that THIS was the product that got me deeper into skincare. It was GAME-CHANGING for my skin texture and my face had never ever been that soft before (compared to my lacklustre, unresearched routine before). This has a very simple claim- a hydrating effect, but it really is a holy grail for me. Simple but effective. 👍💦

The micro particles might irritate some people who do not want physical exfoliation at all, so its important to be aware that this is not for you if you have especially sensitive skin to physical exfoliants.

Did not feel drying at ALL, and sat very well on my skin. Did not aggrevate any acne on my skin and made it very very smooth. The mask does not stretch the skin and feel tight as well. It also consistently feels soothing and calming for the dntire duration it is on.

It washes off with water well and contains some micro particles for exfoliation. 

My skin did not feel dry after washing this off. It felt very hydrated, smooth and calm.

While this is moisturizing and cooling, I didnt particularly see any reduction in lines around my eyes.

𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞: 
Yerba mate aims to deliver a brightening and depuffing effect due to caffeine and natural antioxidants. In addition, 3 types of hyaluronic acid help moisturize and reduce fine lines. 💦

𝐓𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞: 
Very smooth gel consistency. A bead of this easily spreads under both my undereye areas. Sits on the skin a little bit before absorbing but I like this as it gives a cooling effect. Smells faintly like Yerba mate too, which is a fresh tea scent I really like. 🍵

𝐃𝐢𝐝 𝐈𝐭 𝐃𝐨 𝐀𝐧𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠?: 
I actually really like this for the initial cooling effect under my eyes. It also feels like it plumps , refreshes and hydrates the area. Easily layers under my makeup too. 🥰

𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐈 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐞?: 
This is $7.50 CAD. Definitely worth a try to see if it works for your undereye areas, and if it doesn’t, there’s not too big of a loss. I don’t think good molecules has storefronts or retailers yet where I’m located, but the online site has free shipping to select countries over $35 USD. I do want to try other good molecules products, so I’d probably throw another tube into the order. 👍

The only negative thing I noticed about this is that the pump mechanism is really intense for the low viscosity of the product - it can actually sometimes get a bit messy because it’s not really a slow pump and more of a fast jet of the product.

This has a fairly watery texture. I use two pumps of this on my face. Overall, I found that this really hydrated my face and immediately felt refreshing. I also feel like this did help with soothing my redness. In terms of the BHA properties, I did not experience blackheads during the period I was using this, which is saying something since the large pores on my nose are VERY prone to getting clogged. There is relatively no scent and I didn’t feel sticky after applying. I would recommend this for anyone who wants a light hydrating toner with blackhead reduction capabilities.
