Hi, I recently went to a dermatologist and she prescribed me some kind of retinoids. I still have my salicylic acid serum laying around and now I don’t know what to do with it. I don’t really have anyone that I can give this serum to and I probably won’t be able to use it for the next few months (and after this time the product will be expired). I also have The Ordinary salicylic acid face mask that I don’t know what to do with. Do you have an idea how I can use it up?

what to do with my serum?

I’ve been struggling with acne for a few years and now I have a lot of PEH and PIH (especially on my forehead, a few on my cheeks and chin). Because I wasn’t using sunscreen (don’t judge me, I was in middle school) the hyperpigmentation I got a few years ago is still with me. 
Do you know any products that would help? 
If you have/had similar problem, what products/treatments helped you?

I use sunscreen spf50, nicynamide and retinol. I’ve tried alpha arbutin but I’ve stopped recently and planning to start using it daily soon.

Hi, some time ago I’ve bought TO Alpha arbutin serum to help with my PIH. As I done more research about the difference between PIH and PIE it turned out that I actually have PIE 😅 I have like half of the bottle left and I’m not sure if it will work on PIE and what to do with it.
I have an idea to use it on my body (e.g. my armpits and my knees because I want them to be a little bit lighter than they’re now) but I’m using IPL laser and I’m not sure if it’s safe to use alpha arbutin on the same areas where I use the laser. Any advice?

Alpha arbutin

Hi, I’m looking for a new toner and I’ve been thinking about buying one of Revolution toners. I am interested in purchasing either their niacinamide or hyaluronic tonic.
I’ve seen some reviews that the niacinamide toner doesn’t really do anything. Haven’t many reviews about the hyaluronic acid one.
Have you used any of them? Are they worth buying?

Is the product worth it ?

Hi, we know that sunscreen is an important step of a skincare routine but lately I’m wondering if you really need to use it every single day. I have some questions:
Do you need to use sunscreen if the UV index is 0? 
Do you need to use sunscreen if the UV index is 1 or 2 and you stay indoors?

Is sunscreen really necessary?

Nothng particulary bad. I with the bottle was bigger. It would be great if there was a 75 ml or 100 ml version of this sunacreen.

I like this product’s consistency - it’s very light. It’s great that it doesn’t leave a white cast. It layers well - I haven’t experienced any peeling. I know for some people it might be a downside but personally I like the the glow ✨ it leaves on my skin.

It brakes me out :( (my skin is oily&#47;combination and prone to acne)
The smell is very sweet and strong

Nice consistency
Does it’s job as a moisturiser. 
I dont use it on my face anymore but on my body and it works well.

The packaging is cute but I wish it would be easier to squeeze a small amount of the product. Sometimes I just want to be able to get a little bit of it and instead I end up with the amount that is enough to cover my face, neck and hands.

This product has saved me so many times when my skin was irritated, I had an allergic reaction (happens to me sometimes) or my skin was just dry for any reason (my skin is usually oily). It soothes and hydrates.
I don’t use this product everyday but only when my skin needs something soothing. When I use it I just put it on my face, wait for it to absorb a little bit (but not fully) and follow up with a moisturiser.

It stings my eyes and works bad with makeup. My skin doesn’t absorb it well, it sometimes leaves white marks

It’s affordable, 75 ml is quite a lot so it lasts for a long time

Can’t think of anything particularly bad. It won’t do miracles but it’s a nice hydrating mask. Although I wish it was a little bit more soothing, I still like the effect it gave me

•It’s a soothing and hydrating mask and I definitely saw the hydrating effect. My face was a little dry and irritated and even though my skin was getting better day by day, some areas were still dry. This mask gave me the hydration that I needed, although nothing crazy. My most irritated areas still aren’t super hydrated but it’s better than it used to be.
•The serum is very nice. It’s not too sticky but also not too watery. The scent is pleasant and mild - I like that it isn’t too strong or too sweet. 
•This mask isn’t way too big for my face which is good for people with smaller faces but even if your face is a little bigger it shouldn’t be a problem
