EDIT: What do we think of The Ordinsry’s Anhydrous SA?  (Tagged below) It’s 2% SA in squareness to reduce sensitivity.

I’m making an enquiry for my daughter who is 15.  She has always had beautiful skin, so I have not been tempted to mess with her minimal routine.  She washes her face morning and evening, and uses moisturiser with sunscreen in the day and a plain one at night. 

Her skin type is fairly normal to dry, and rarely gets spots, however, she has blackheads on her nose and sometimes her chin that she’d like to eliminate.  I thought a product with salicylic acid would help, but feared it might be too drying, so we tried a wash so it wouldn’t stay on the skin too long.  It was still too drying.

Any recommendations for a product that will clear out her pores while still being gentle please?

Very excited to find I have won a Potions giveaway!  Just arranged to have it sent and hoping that customs tax won’t be more than the item! 😝

I won!

This is probably my favourite toner, so I cant think of any negatives!  

This toner has no actives, so I use it for a 7 skins routine, and am left with plump, juicy feeling skin.  It has a delicate rose scent which is not overpowering, and I find it soothing to all my senses when using it at night.

For me, this cleanser is too drying for my facial skin type, which is to be expected.  I might use it this way no more than once a week.  I will definitely repurchase for occasional use on my body.

I was afraid that a salicylic acid wash would be too harsh for my dry facial skin, and initially bought it for the dry, rough skin on my upper back.  It is wonderful.  It cleanses without stripping and pairs fabulously with cerave smoothing SA cream for that area.

Feeling a bit grubby faced, i decided to trynit on my face.  Again, my skin felt thoroughly cleabsed without feeling stripped, but i would not use it every day.  There is no colour or scent, and i think could suit an oily sensitive skin very well.

I was initially alarmed by the texture, but quickly realised the thickness meant the product glided over the skin - a couple if drops is all i needed.

The product is a clear, glutinous, silky liquid that glides beautifully over the skin.  I applied it after using a hydrating toner, while my skin was still moist, and applied moisturiser on top.  The result is juicy, soft skin - lovely!

There is no product information on the packaging.  I had to do my own research to find out what peptides are for!

I’m a first time ampoule user, and the glutinous, silky texture of the liquid glides over the skin.  My skin felt super soft after use.

I LOVE this product!  It is a yellow dry oil that sinks into the skin quickly and leaves my skin feeling nourished and soft.
