Hi! So winter is here and my skin is FEELING it. I haven’t been using any actives yet the skin on my chin and cheeks is peeling off. 🥲
If you have any recommendations for products that can help with this THAT DON’T CONTAIN ANY FORM OF HYALURONIC ACID (my skin really hates it) I’d really appreciate it. 😭

Need serum, essence or moisturizer recs for winter without hyaluronic acid🫠

So I just noticed I’m about to run out of my current water based cleanser, I’m using the Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser solely because it doesn’t contain any hyaluronic acid and I’m wondering if there are any better options for cleansers. Do you have any recs? What is your favorite?

Best cleanser for dry skin that doesn’t have any form of HA?

So I’m going to switch from tretinoin (0.025%) to azelaic acid but I’m worried that I’ll go through the purging phase twice. Anyone knows if this happens or it’ll be a smooth transition?

Does your skin purge twice?

So I’ve used the mocchi toner before, but I was wondering if the rice one is as moisturizing or close enough haha. Any opinions about it will help me so much! ✨💖

Tonymoly Mocchi Toner vs Rice Toner?

Has anyone tried this lotion on their face? My budget is kind of limited rn and I wanted to see if this could be an option meanwhile. :)
Any other suggestions for cheap moisturizers are welcome. 💕

Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion for face?

Has a sticky feeling that not everyone can tolerate 

This is THE BEST mask ever!!! I started using tretinoin last year and this mask helped my skin with the purging, stopped any peeling or irritation and helped restore my skin barrier, it also smells really nice. I could not believe how smooth my skin was after washing it off. 

This is one of the best toners I've ever used. It's really hydrating and soothing but a little bit pricey so I only use it when the weather is really cold and dry.

Nothing bad to say about this besides the bit of fragrance in it, it is still better than the classic chemical smell tho.

I thought this would be too drying for my already dry skin but it’s not! It leaves a subtle glow and doesn’t irritate my skin. The scent it has is a bit overpowering but fades with time. It has a runny consistency and leaves no white cast.

It has a very unpleasant smell
Turns yellow over time
Bottle design sometimes doesn’t let the product come out 
It stains light clothes and doesn’t come out easily 
Worst thing of all is it pills, if you rub the skin it starts leaving white bits all over, that also happens when you rub it in or accidentally rub it with your clothes, hands, etc 
Not worth the price at all

Hydrates without being too much or feeling heavy on the skin, doesn’t make my skin itch as most chemical sunscreens do.

Nothing, excellent balance between cost and benefits 

I love this eye cream, it helps a lot with puffiness even after I cry, leaves the skin hydrated and reduces sensitivity, it even has helped my lashes grow longer and thicker :)
