I recently received the ampoule from Skin1004. 

I've been using it for a couple of days now and my skin is starting to break out!

I'm not sure if it's because of this since it doesn't have any harsh ingredients. I haven't done anything different nor have I added any other product into my routine.

Could anyone explain what could be the reason? 

Edit : I've stopped using it and my skin is back to normal. I remember using a Cica sleeping mask from laneige and having a breakout as well. I used to think that it was because of the thickness but I guess now I can say that it's the ingredient. Whatever it is, allergic reaction or pore clogging, I would personally not use centella henceforth.

P.S I see a lot of people getting scared of the product. Please don't! What's bad for me can be good for a lot of people and vice versa. Do what's best for YOUR SKIN!

Thanks!

Purging after using Skin1004 ampoule!

Acne patches have become a staple in most skin care routines. They help to conceal the existing acne and literally flatten them over night!

I've only used the one from COSRX and it does a pretty good job with whiteheads that are about to pop.

The more expensive zitsticka helps with deeper acne and flattens them overnight as well.

Do you have a favorite that you use?

Best acne patch?

Hey guys!

I've in a spree of using a lot of moisturizers lately, trying to figure out the cheapest yet best moisturizer for my face.

These are the one's I've used so far

1. Cerave moisturizing lotion - 2/5 (broke me out)
2. Embryolisse - 3/5 (broke me out as well + fragrance)
3. LRP toleraine sensitive - 4/5 (amazing but expensive)

I'm looking at more affordable ones like trixera and other lrp ones but I'm afraid of breaking out again.
 
 I live in France.

I could use some suggestions on this issue. Thanks!

Avene trixera moisturizer for face?

Is it just me or is TO's retinol feel a bit oily and heavy? 

This is my first ever retinol so I have no idea what to make of it. For a while now I've gone back to a hydrating and calming routine to nurse my face after an entire month of having cystic acne. I heard retinol works great for PIE but I'm a little nervous to get back to TO retinol.

Suggestions? Thanks!

TO retinol too greasy?

I don't know about others but I'm surely a big fan of Cerave and their products.

They're affordable and give a bang for our buck. In terms of sustainable long term skin care routine, their lotions snd cleansers are certainly one of my top picks. 

I live in France and I recently came across an oil cleanser from cerave (Image attached). They cost just as much as the normal cleansers. I still have the softymo cleansing oil (which is doing a good job) and I can't wait to get it over with so I can try the one from cerave!

Have you tried it yet?

The new Cerave Oil Cleanser!

Nothing much really, I&#39;m usually confused if I should use niacinamide with it or not since I don&#39;t want to expose my skin to too much niacinamide.

Very hydrating and most importantly didn&#39;t irritate my skin or cause breakouts. Out feels natural without any smell and can last a long time.

Nothing bad so far. I will update it after a couple of weeks. 

I wanted to introduce peptides in my routine for its apparent benefits. The packaging is simple and the dropper work pretty well. Its consistency is probably the smoothest I've ever experienced, it runs across your face effortlessly. So far, it has fit well in my routine on my days off from retinol. I'm liking it so far. 

Sticky consistency and hard to use dropper. 

So far it hasn't wowed me yet, but it fits well in my morning routine with the FAB toner and Embryolisse moisturizer. My skin does feel a bit plump but it's still early days. 

Nothing bad as of now. Just scared about what it could do to my sensitive skin. 

It doesn't feel heavy. The consistency is light and smooth. The packaging is probably the best part as it comes in a compact bottle with an easy dropper. 

Works as a really good exfoliating face wash.
