I’m curious about you guy’s routines. What’s your favorite humectant? I’ve used TO hyaluronic acid, then I tried Aveeno triple oat serum, then I moved to CosRX snail mucin power essence. I’ve loved each of them. Thoughts? Opinions?

Favorite humectant/hydrating serum

Not much tbh. Maybe its a bit sticky when first applied, but ug absorbs fast. CosRx did well

I really do love this product; its bouncy and adds extra moisture to my skin, and im currently in the middle of retinol purging as of 4/20/22, so its helping to heal the purge faster. Its great for hydration and healing

Already dry sensitive types be careful. I was an oily girly and it changed my type. Use the sandwich method if sensitive/dry. 

Siddown and listen to me lil skincare nerds. I heard about the retinol miracle and decided to give it a try. Because im a broke ass college material gworl, i went with the ordinary retinol in squalane 0.5%. That bitch broke me tf out. Derms all say purging is usually in areas you normally get acne, but my stubborn ass insisted that the breakouts all over my face was normal when I usually dont get acne that badly. I saw a story post from Dr. Ranella and said fuck it. It has been A WEEK. ONE FUCKING WEEK. My hyperpigmentation, which i used to never have anyways, is nearly faded. My acne from TO Vit A is healing/healed. My skin type has gone from oily to normal/dry. I love it. I hated having oily skin and looking shiny in photos. No mo’. This girly is free. Give me 2-3 weeks and ill post before and after pictures when i got that glowy glow skin. 

It can be too thick if you hate the feeling of moisturizer on your skin, or if you’re an oily skin type

I use it with differin and it moisturizes my skin very very well. 10/10 recommend for any skin nerd wirh dry skin or on retinol

Since its tinted it can leave coloring on stuff, like masks or clothes if ya ain’t careful. EltaMD has like a UV clear sport edition that’s probably this good, just clear

Im not a makeup wearer. I have ADHD and literally forgot i bought good cream blush for graduation a week ago. What i also bought a week ago was this. She IS the MOMENT. I saw a review on amazon that this almost has a pore blurring affect, and yup she does. Im also coming from la roche posay melt in milk face n body spf 100. My OCD loved the high spf, but my skin didn’t. That girl pilled like no tomorrow. Im a nursing student so im constantly wearing a mask, and my dad literally thought my skin was peeling off from the LRP spf. Nope. Just pilling like a medicated teen. Now EltaMD? PERFECT. Applies like moisturizer. Soaks in super duper fast. Looks like skin. Blurs the skin. Lightly hydrates wth hyaluronic acid. No texture pictures this time cause she kinda pricey. But its true. You get what you pay for. And you pay for quality. 

If you put it over spf and take it off, itll leave a smol thin ring of sticky spf behind. Not too bad, comes off with micellar water and/or cleanser

I love these so much i set myself up on subscribe and save on amazon. I get the $22 240 pack on amazon thats 10 packages wrapped in plastic. They are so great. Sucks the life out of a zit. 1 patch to bring to a head, 2nd patch to bring out the debris, 3rd patch to kill it.
