Thanks to my new found dewy skin (after a consistent skin care routine), I no longer need a heavy foundation.

Now I’m on the hunt for a good quality cushion foundation. 

I’ve heard that cushions are a staple of K-beauty routines. However, finding a match for deeper skin tones has proved challenging.

Has anyone found any out there? I’m currently in the UK.

Many thanks!

Cushion foundation for deeper skin tones

Hi all,

I’ve been trying to find a vitamin C (>15%) that is well formulated/packaged that doesn’t oxidize quickly.

I’ve previously used Klairs/Paula’s choice and both have oxidized too quickly. 

I’d also prefer a formulation that comes with  ferulic acid as I know this stabilises the vitamin c.

Thanks!

Vitamin C that doesn’t oxidize quickly?!

I’m on the hunt for a good quality and (reasonably priced) silk pillow case, since the benefits are widely popularized.

Any suggestions? 

Thanks!

Best silk pillowcase?! 🛌

Sometimes difficult to remove remove all aspects of the balm from the entire face, so need to thorougly rinse the whole face which is time consuming.

However it has never broken me out :)

My holy grail cleansing balm! ❤️ 

I have very dry skin and this is one of the few cleansers that doesn’t leave my skin feeling stripped! 

I apply to dry skin and massage the entire face, and it removes make up beautifully. I then apply water to emulsify and remove the balm. 

Skin feels nourshied and clean afterwards 😍

Difficult to find or source at times and often sold out! Also can’t read the text on the bottle unless you speak japanese... 😂

I absolutely adore this product. I have very dry skin and this locks in the moisture with finesse!

I apply this to damp skin. It has a thick gel like texture which absorbs quickly and leaves skin feeling plump and hydrated! It also leaves a dewy finish which isnt sticky 💦

Can leave a very shiny finish but this can be easily treated with powder and foundation.

I’ve been using this product for a year and it has saved my compromised skin barrier!!

Using tretinoin whilst having dry skin means i need heavy hand moisturising ingredients like snail mucin! 🐌

The texture is luxurious and gel like which absorbs well and leaves skin feeling hydrated. A small amount goes a long way, i’ve only used half a bottle in a year! 

A holy grail which I will repurchase.

May be too gentle if you’re looking for more extensive exfoliation.

This is the perfect gentle exfoliant for my sensitive skin. It evens out the texture of my skin and is great to alternate with tretinoin (which also can dehydrate skin).

The latice acid is combined with hyaluronic acid which buffers the skin with hydration and whilst gently exfoliating with lactic acid 👌

Great price and lasts a long time as i only use it once a week!

Sometimes the larger patches require cutting&#47;shaping

This was my holy grail whilst I was purging on tretinoin. The patches are easy to use and come it 3 sizes which can be tailored to the spot to be treated. The adhesive is very gentle. This makes them very cost effective compared to other spot patches.

I have even cut the larger patch into smaller patches.

They work a treat on the majority of spots using hydrocolloid, with 1-2 applications . They work less well on closed comedones.
