I’ve got many samples and products that didn’t work for me. If I can’t give them to somebody else I use them on my hands ( moisturizers) or my heels ( exfoliants). What do you do with skincare products that didn’t work for you?

What do you do with unwanted products?

My daughter has pimples and has a good skin care regiment but I realize when we need is also a good occlusive moisturizer for the end of the routine, something that seals the hydration effect of the products used but it doesn’t have comedogenic ingredients. Is a moisturizer like Cerave okay ? Could you please recommend others? Thanks.

Good occlusive cream for acne prone skin?

I received this product courtesy of gopicky and Purito in exchange for my honest review. 
This is an excellent hydrating cream. The ingredients are 60%deep sea water, niacinamide,hyaluronic acid and panthenol , there is not one problematic substance in this serum. The texture is a white cream that absorbs well with zero tackiness. My skin feels plumped and hydrated. It feels like velvet when I touch it. After two weeks, my skin looks better than ever.

 it is not for everybody, I wouldn't recommend to people with sensitive or dry skin

VIDIVICI Face Clear Perfect Cleansing Foam, received from @go.picky,  and @vidivici  in exchange for my honest review.
This is my experience with this cleanser:
# Elegant packaging, wonderful texture.
the texture is very dense. I don't need a lot of the thick paste to create a very fluffy foam.
# I only use it as a second cleanser: first the makeup remover ( usually an oil cleanser or a balm) and then the Vidivici cleanser . By itself, the it doesn't remove heavy makeup. It does a very good job of removing the grease from the first cleanse though.
# The result is a clean (but not a squeaky clean) skin, almost a feeling of matte.
I can understand why people with dry skin don't see the benefit of this specific cleanser. But for us, people with oily skin ( and VERY oily skin in the summer) this cleanser performs very well :).

There were no bad reactions from this serum, just great results.

I can’t praise this product enough. The ingredients are fantastic, there is not one problematic substance in this serum. The texture is a clear gel that absorbs well with zero tackiness. It prepares my skin for the next step in my elaborate skincare routine. My skin feels plumped and hydrated. 

I have no bad word to say about it. My skin looks better than ever.

I’m in love with this vit C serum. I like everything about it:
🌀the packaging :with an easy to control pump 
🌀texture : very creamy and easy to spread , I little goes a long way
🌀the list of ingredients :starting with 20%vit C in an oil base ( ideal for vit C) and the exclusion of the usual bad guys( parabens and other hormone disruptors) 
🌀very affordable 

This was gifted to me but go.picky and Elmt in exchange for my honest opinion.

There is no con for me, this has holy grail status. I already found a local store that carries By Wishtrend products and I’ll repurchase as soon  as I finish this bottle.

I have to mention that have a problem with retinol creams in general . My skin reacts with rashes so I usually have yo be very cautious when I include retinol in my routine- and I don't have patience for that- to they point that i decided to not even bother with retinol products anymore.

When I receive the product, I decided to give it a( cautious) try that evening. The texture is very creamy and absorbs fast, leaving my skin very moisturized. Next day my skin looked good , no rashes or red bumps ( the usual reaction when I use retinol). So, I tested the cream every other day and I'm happy to say that there is no bad reaction yet.

pros: cute design, affordable, pleasant to use, no bad reactions, absorbs well, no weird scents ( very slightly scented, almost undetectable). Great list of ingredients, getting an Excellent score on different applications that analyze skincare ingredients.
