I’ve tried products from all of the categories but I’m just curious what you guys like the most & your fave products. Drop ‘em below!

Mine are:

Cleansing oil, cleansing balm, or cleansing milk?

I really want to try and incorporate Azelaic Acid in my routine as I know it’s one of the best ingredients for acne. Can you guys suggest and product aside from the one from The Ordinary as I read that that product is kind of difficult and tricky to use. Thank you!

Azelaic acid products aside from TO

I saw in Dr.Dray’s video once that she says that sunscreen would suffice without using moisturiser in the morning. So do you guys still moisturise in the morning or do you just slather on your sunscreen after serums/essences?

to moisturise or not to moisturise

Who’s you favorite content creator to watch on youtube for skincare?? Mine’s Dr. Dray, James Welsh, and Kelly Driscoll.

•I watch Dr. Dray for her “dermatologist” side of skincare y’know— for the knowledge on different ingredients and actives as well as for affordable drugstore product recommendations.

•For James Welsh, I watch him for his great product recommendations too because I have the same skin type as him and I just love his skin! I also adore his videos because they’re both entertaining and insightful. (Check out his joing channel with his twin brother— they’re absolutely hilarious together)

•For Kelly Driscoll, I trust her with all things K-beauty. I go to her to find Korean skincare product’s reviews because she elaborates the products she uses in a very in-depth and informative way. Such a go-to before ever purchasing something.

Who’s your favorite youtuber for skincare info/product recos?

fave youtuber (for skincare)

When I was just starting out to know a thing or two about skincare, I relied on watching YT videos of skincare influencer, estheticians, average consumers, and dermatologists for some information about the science behind skincare as well as recommendations on products that would help me achieve my skincare goals. 

Sooner than I expected, I dove right into searching and ordering for products that is targeted to help with my concerns. I couldn’t help it, YT skinfluencers are just sooo convincing hahaha. It didn’t occur to me that skincare was really personal because what was running through my head at the time was just “ohhh they loved it because it helped them with their problems”. I got caught up by great reviews, the amount of recommendations, and the number of stars it gained. 

But fast forward to trying all these products, almost half of them did not work (which is a stab to my wallet🤧). Some products had ingredients I was allergic too (I didn’t know), the others had intolerable amounts of fragrance, some just didn’t sit well while some just clashed with one another resulting to worse problems for my skin. 

More does not equal better. More equals more things to take into account, more things to be cautious about and more chances of irritation. We don’t need all of these products. I mean, there’s no harm done in buying new products and having skincare hauls every now and then but don’t use all of them at the same time right away. Try to stick to a simple routine, introduce products slowly and just pace yourself in adding and switching out skincare products to avoid overwhelming your skin.

Remember: it’s not about the quantity, it’s always about the quality.

To the people with a figured out 10 or 15 step skincare routine that works for them, continue with whatever you’re doing! If it feels right for you and you don’t see anything wrong about it, don’t change a thing.

More does not equal better

but I did notice that my skin became a tad bit shiny later in the day (my problem with most of my moisturisers in the morning) but this one wasn’t that bad compared to the others. I did find a way to avoid this problem though— by applying it on damp skin.

It worked well as my AM moisturiser and didn’t cause me any irritation whatsoever. It’s lightweight without any tackiness on the skin. This worked beautifully making it easier to absorb and retain moisture all throughout the day.

After patch testing and it looked fine, I already used it but was kinda worried since this contains Galactomyces— my skin has a love-hate relationship with yeast ferments. And even though I liked the smell of the fragrance, it may not agree with my skin.

After two days of using this, I unfortunately woke up with reddish skin that felt raw, specifically my cheeks— which are my problem areas. I thought it was some other product but after stripping my routine to the bare minimum & just adding this, my skin was still irritated.

After removing it from my routine, my skin was better. After days of not using this product, my skin looked normal already. I don’t know if it’s because of the Galactomyces, or fragrance, or both but what I know is— my skin doesn’t like this

This doesn’t have that stringy texture that snail mucin products are usually known for but it’s also not that watery. It has a certain “bounce” that feels comforting when you spread it on your skin.

This does contain ❗️Parfum (fragrance) but I didn’t mind the smell as it was very pleasant and subtle.

The INCI list looks so good too, i mean: black bean, snail mucin, & collagen

Nothing baf about this product whatsoever. In fact, it is a musta-try for anyone!

I received this product for free from Picky and THANK YOU FARMER in exchange for my honest review!

And this is my first every proper reel so hope u guys like it!!

When I first put some on my palm, I instantly loved it! The texture was so jiggly yet light enough to absorb in seconds.

Working it in makes your skin face so smooth and when it absorbs, you’re left with supple on soft skin that’s covered with a comfy moisture blanket.

It does live up to its claims because I feel like my skin brightened up a bit with just a few weeks of using this. And the dewy & glowy finish it gives provides a subtle radiance to the skin.

5/5- this is my fave milky toner so far!! A must-try for all, especially for people with dry skin!

The fragrance is really discernable. And also, the fragrance that is present here are harmful most especialky to sensitive skin— like myself. That’s why I wouldn’t take the risk

This was such a lightweight moisturiser that delivers both hydration and moisture that does not leave your skin oily. It gave my skin an immediate relief

It did not control my oiliness— a well known effect of green tea toners&#47;products.

It was so lightweight. This toner hydrated my skina nd instanly calmed the redness. I can layer this as much as I want and still feel comfortable on the skin. Such a goodie for oily skin types
