 Running out of it is horrible, especially during the winter when it’s dry and you need something to perk up your skin… All in all there’s nothing bad about this product. 

 I’ve been using this product since before it came out I got it exclusive sample before they were sold in stores and this is literally my Holy Grail (feat. Justin Timberlake) for 10 minutes during the day, or you can use it As an overnight mask and if you have dry skin or are lacking firmness/your skin is a little dull this will give you a pick me up an hour moisturizer/hydrate your skin. I actually smells like a real watermelon, like they literally chopped a watermelon into pieces and juiced it and put the purée/juice into the mask. Every time I have a migraine I open the jar and smell it because it smells so fresh and it’s just so amazing it takes away my headache/migraine‘s etc. on top of being an amazing mask

 The only negative thing I can say about this product is that he does dry your skin out but taking a break one or two nights a week always helps with your skin recovering… I like to use the tea tree miracle cream from Skin by Mi, As well as the miracle toner.

 I love how this product specifically targeted for acne prone skin, ever since I’ve been using it for the past four months and it does take about two months for your skin to get used to A product and this one is very difficult but once your skin starts getting used to the serum you can see the results drastically! Comments about my complexion and overall skin looks in general. And I can even see the results which is some thing a lot of people can’t do because you do look at your face in the mirror every single day and I did forget to take before and after pictures, but that’s something that may nurse practitioner who does my Botox has… I didn’t winners in a raffle on my birthday it came with the entire skin better science line of skin care and my favorite are the AlphaRet peels,  I always am able to get the free sample of one or two of them when I do go in for Botox so that’s always a good thing but I would definitely recommend this to anyone who has severe/cystic acne or apnea prone skin or even oily skin because it does reduce how much oil your skin produces 

 The only product I would really watch out for is the zombie mask and the mummy mask because I know those two have sulfur in it and me, thinking I know everything about every beauty product and brand didn’t read the ingredients. I am allergic to sulfur and broke out and hives on my face, neck comic ears, scalp, Arms, shoulders and even like the top of my hands. So if you are allergic to sulfur which I know many people are, please please don’t be like me and ignore the ingredients/directions please read the ingredients make sure that there’s no sulfur in it because I wouldn’t want anyone having a break out like I did it was horrible, I could not leave my house for at least one and a half– two weeks. So just a heads up on that but that’s the only concern I have regarding SKIN1004.

Oh and I guess the bloody peel is only available during fall so I’ve been trying to purchase it on the website/Amazon and it has been out of stock until yesterday when I contacted the company and it is a “seasonal product“. You can’t just have your skin get used to a product and then just like have it pulled off the market but I guess when it comes back this fall I will be stocking up on it.

 This was the first product I ever purchased through SKIN1004, and I am so used to serums making my skin even more oily or and waking up to a break out. This not only got rid of the amount of oil that my skin produces. I have combination oily, sensitive, dry skin depending on the product I’m using and this has really cleared up a lot of problems when it comes to oil production… That sounds so disgusting but it happens.  Actually if you are reading this and you have the same skin problems this would apply to you and would also be very helpful… But this mask I just let it dry on my face overnight even though it says leave it on for like 10 to 30 minutes. I have used so many beauty products and when Korean skin care/K-beauty.

SKIN1004 was the first Korean skin care brand I used on top of Pyunkang Yul.  So those were my Products that do work with my skin that I would compare other Korean skin care products to and out of every company and every product from those companies that I have tried, SKIN1004 still outbeats all of them.

 That it does leave your skin peeling for about 1 to 2 weeks so you do need to stay out of direct sunlight, if you do need to leave the house I would recommend using SPF 25 or SPF 30. And I only use it for about 30 minutes as a mask with a jade or quartz roller that I freeze in my freezer Which spreads it out evenly to the skin but I can’t sleep with it on because of how oily my skin is and how much oil is in the retinol with 2% squalane.  But after a 30 minute mask, I can start to see the benefits within minutes of washing it off.

 Literally minimizes pores and fine lines, increases cell turnover and decreases the oil production which prolong is the elasticities of collagen/helping the blood flow to your skin increasing the production of   collagen.  The 2% of squalane, (Also known as an advanced Retinoid Active complex) Improving the moisture and elasticity balance of your skin

 The only crappy thing about retinol is that it IS VERY OILY & does make your skin peel.  So every time I use it I have to like hide out for about 2wks. indoors before going outside (if you’re using a product that makes your skin peel, you should 💯💯💯 stay indoors & avoid direct sunlight without an SPF 25 or 30.) 
So IMO that is the only downfall of with retinol.

 I love how my skin feels a week after using it… It leaves my skin perfectly like perfect!!!  I love how when I do use it I usually put it on my enlarged pores which I was never expecting to get. But I’m in my mid-20s and have like two larger pores than the rest of my face and the retinol completely not only cleared out all the dirt In my pores Shrinks and the size of your pores By increasing cell turnover & decreasing oil. 

It also Speeds up the blood flow to your skin which prolongs elasticity and increases production of collagen,  As well as fixing uneven skin tone & discoloration, AND fights wrinkles.

I have been using “The Ordinary Retinol w/ 2% Squalane” for years and although it is really oily, it does take away the majority of dark spots on your skin as well as clearing up acne, & your skin doesn’t start to show the benefits of a product unless you use it continuously for two months and I’ve been using this for about four years, One of the benefits being reducing fine lines/wrinkles, and it does exactly that which saves me a couple hundred dollars of Botox 💉☺️
