Thanks Picky team and looking forward to the next box!

Received the Picky Box!

Hello pickys! 

What are some retinol recommendation you love? 
I’m currently using Medik8 Crystal Retinal 3 and looking to increase the dose when im done with it! Anyone tried the same range of Retinal 6 or 10? 

Tagging some of the retinol products I’ve used in the past.

Retinol recommendations

Definitely a YES for me! 
firstly, this bottle has 100ml of cream (usually it's only 50ml of product for moisturizers).
secondly, it is formulated with 5 types of skin strengthening ceramides to help supports weakened skin barrier. 
and lastly, its seemingly rich texture melts into the skin and does not leave a greasy layer after absorption. i love using this during my retinol days to quickly relieve possible sensitivity.

Have not seen results yet for its brightening effect and takes a while to absorb.

Marketed as a serum that brightens skin tone- personally have not seen any results with this since a week usage.
Has a milky texture that takes a while to absorb but does not feel sticky after.
Combined with the toner, it gives a healthy glow to my skin

Not moisturizing enough as a face lotion for me, i will need to top up with another cream/lotion.

It has a special combination of Defensamide and bamboo water to provide moisture rich hydration and cooling sensation to irritated skin caused by sun exposure. 
This is great for our humid Singapore and can quickly soothe and calm down flushed skin from the cooling sensation it gives. I uses this on my neck and arms whenever the heat from sun is unbearable and it is absolutely non sticky and is absorbed real quick! 

It has added floral scent that dissipates in a while.

This has similar texture to the highly raved BOJ- light lotion that is fast absorbing and gives a natural finish that isnt matte or glowy. It feels very comfortable on the skin and can be layered on without any greasiness. Putting it on without skincare is also fine so i think this is moisturizing enough for my combi dry skin! 

Not suitable for day use in humid singapore.

Contains 10% panthenol which aids in relieving inflamed skin and improve skin hydration.
This has a thicker consistency compared to the Face cream however it is non sticky or greasy when fully absorbed. 
This cream is perfect for when I have sensitized skin and a thicker layer is applied in place of the whole routine.
