I’m considering adding this to my routine but not sure of how and its actual benefits. Anyone able to explain it to me? I’ve got dry, acne probe skin and also open to HA recommendations.

Thanks in advance!

Hyaluronic Acid?

I’ve been meaning doing research about this product. Would anyone know when to use it in a skincare routine? I am using it in the AM after SPF but not sure if that ends up mimizing its effects.

What would you recommend for optimal results? Any other insights on this topic would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance ♥️

Edit: Thanks to everyone recommending to use BEFORE SPF and I have incorporated that adaptation. Will keep the thread updated with my results!

Niacinamide - When to Use?

Hello!

Recently, I’ve heard more about sqalene in products, including some products I currently use. I’m a little confused about the functions of this ingredient. Can anyone please provide clarity? And recommendations on when and how often it should be used in a skincare routine?

Thanks in advance 🙏

Squalene! 🌱

Hello everyone! Has anyone suffered through hormonal acne and have recommendations for diet changes to keep the acne at bay? I found this challenging and tried to eat clean which got rid of the acne for a few months but it returned in a gruesome manner. I had tried a vegan diet but like I said, it was only temporary.

Also, if yoy have any product or lifestyle recommendations for hormonal acne, please share in the discussion. ☺️

Diet for Hormonal Acne?

Hey everyone!!

I’m almost finished my SPF which was Ombrelle’s ultra-light formulation with SPF 30. I’m now on the hunt for a new SPF. I’ve heard good things about Supergoop! but I thought I wiukd ask this community if there’s any other suggestions.

…and hopefully they’re more budget friendly as well ☺️

Thanks in advance ♥️

Nothing I can think about! Holy grail for me.


I LOVE this product and how easily it soaks into my skins. I exclusively use as an eye cream and its not irritating for my super sensitive skin. I really like this brand and how they bring high quality products to the consumer. This product has helped me with under eye circles as well and does a great job at hydration. Also note: a little goes a long way.

Its definitely pricey, especially if you are buying outside of the US. It might also be better for dry skin and not oily skin.

This product is always in my bag wherever I go. Its because its incredibly versatile and can be used as a lip balm, a healing balm, natural highlight and many other uses. Its got a mild fragrance and a little goes a long way. Good fir sensitive skin. I also love the brand.

Its got a “greasy” feel, like vaseline. A lot of people wont like the texture and its a similar texture on the skin that persists. It might make the user feel “greasy” so I recommend using during the day if your at home and / or prior to bed.

I love this and I love vaseline. I used to think you had to dry your skin (for acne prone skin) to stop the breakouts but learned it was (almost) the opposite. Sometimes dehydrated skin is an environment for acne to flourish. I’ve been using this on actuve pimples, cracked lips and even dry skin and have seen a significant improvement to better skin and faster healing. I haven’t had acne in months! Though please note I use other active ingredients as well. 

I like putting this on targeted areas of my skin before bed for skin healing overnight.

This product just doesn’t have any of my holy grail active ingredients. My skin does amazing with ceramides so those are the cleansers I use now. Ive also noticed this cleanser does not always fully cleanse my face like cleansers with a higher oil component to break down the gunk from the day.

I used to always use this cleanser. Id say risk is minimal and its better than no cleanser but there’s so many better options out there. That being said, cleansers do not stay on the skin so cleansers are not as cruicial as other aspects of the skuncare routine.

I will say I enjoyed how “fresh” I felt after using the product. I have sensitive skin and did not react negatively in any way. Also… price us very affordable.

It’s won awards! Its refreshing! Honestly, from my experience, nothing bad YET from someone with sensitive skin.


What an incredible toner! I’ve got sensitive skin that varies between dry and oily depending on the season. I always have challenges as my skin needs hydration or else it breaks out but I also have to be carefuly with the chemical exfoliators I use which can lead to extremely dry skin. I found this product to balance out my skin extremely well which also supported healing of acne spots and scars.

Hyaluronic acid is a go to for me in terms of hydration and for my skin type, it’s been great for balancing my skin.

I also love the following product features:
✨fragrance free
✨free of isopropyl alcohol, TEA and DEA
✨allatonin - improves smoothness of skin

Highly recommend you DIVE in to this product 💓
