Ok ok I know I might get some backlash for this one.. or maybe not.. but I’m just going to go ahead and say it.. does niacinamide have to be in literally EVERY product?! Like don’t get me wrong.. I love me some niacinamide.. but I feel like having it in every single product almost is doing more harm than good. I can’t escape it! It’s almost as prevalent as hyaluronic acid as this point. Can someone correct me if I’m wrong.. is having niacinamide in multiple products in your routine harmful? Or is it safe? Thanks for reading! 😊

Hey y’all! So I just got the Inkey Lists alpha arbutin serum yesterday.. is it normal that when I apply it to my face my skin gets this rush of warmth and gets sort of flush? It doesn’t hurt or sting or burn or anything .. it’s literally just a wave of warmth and then it subsides quickly.. 🤔 I’ve used arbutin in products but never as a stand alone ingredient and didn’t get the same effect.. at least I don’t recall it being that way.. I use it right after the ample:n peptide serum but I’ve read that arbutin has no interactions with any other ingredients so I don’t think that has anything to do with? I really don’t know but I hope it’s normal! Lol

Hey to my skin care peeps with microbladed eyebrows.. This one is for y’all! So I just got my eyebrows microbladed on Thursday for the first time.. I was wondering when y’all felt comfortable advancing without your routine? I’m not putting anything above my eyes at the moment and my artist is having me dry heal. They seem to be healing fantastically with no swelling, fluid leaking, and the absolute minimum of scabbing.. obviously I don’t plan on it any time soon and I go for my 2nd session in a month.. but I was just curious what time frame I’ll be looking at here to be able to do my full routine on my whole face again.. TIA!!

microbladed eye brow peeps!

Hey y’all! Does anyone have any idea on when they ship out the giveaways you win? I was one of the chosen ones for the CosRX giveaway and I just want to make sure I don’t miss it! Thanks!

CosRX

Hey everyone! My question is what comes first?? TO 100% Squalane oil or CosRX 92 Snail cream?? Everything I’ve learned about oils is they go last? But according to TO website it says to put the squalane on before moisturizers and after water based products.. so if I do squalane oil first is the snail cream even able to penetrate through the oil?! Or am I just wasting it?? Thanks!

squalane oil or snail cream first?!

Honestly, nothing really. I enjoyed this product for the hydration.. however for its other effects.. i can not speak to them just yet. I’m about half way through the bottle and haven’t really noticed many other effects other thank hydration.

This product is so nice on the skin. Its got a nice smooth silky slip upon application and absorbs so nicely. No tackiness. No stickiness. Just lovely. Adds great hydration to my skin.

If you have longer velus hairs on your face you will probably want to make sure you totally rinse off ALL of this mask.. i got one of the balls of dead skin&#47;gel stuck in one of my hairs from my head and it did not want to come out. I dermaplane so i can’t speak on the facial hair but i can assume that it wouldn’t be much different

Wow. Im sort of amazed and disgusted all at the Same time! This peeling gel certainly did what it said it would do.. its a thick cloudy gel like texture that NEEDS to be applied correctly.. the instructions from the company are sort of unclear and I think a lot of people think this is a peel off mask like the sticky black charcoal masks.. its totally not. 

You need to work in smaller sections on your face and apply a thin layer but keep rubbing it! Dont stop to let it dry! It dries very quickly so it’s important you don’t stop rubbing it in... very shortly after all the dead skin will start to ball up and peel right off 🤢 Im literally appalled at how much dead skin was on my face.. but once you’re done with the last section just rinse off all the dead skin and any of the gel that may have dried.. and voila.. your skin is literally brand new.. and can continue on with your routine ..its insane. My pores were cleared out, my face has never felt cleaner, it was literally so much brighter.. and it is SO GENTLE. I’m Literally obsessed.

Because it’s so think.. even aside from following the directions and warming it up to think it out.. applying it makes my eyes kind of sore.

Its really thick.. so thick the directions instruct you to warm the product up between 2 fingers before applying it.. not sure if i like that or hate it. It’s definitely very moisturizing.

The smell is totally weird. At first contact it smells like smelly arm pits to me.. but as it starts to absorb and as you rub it in i start too smell the honey and green tea.. its very odd but i love the product so much I can look past it

I am in love with this product.. its nice and thin but still smooth upon applying.. it literally soaks into my skin SO fast .. I am a major layerer of product and this goes right under my tonymoly mochi emlusion. I’ve struggled to find a product that makes a noticeable difference in the hydration of my skin until i found this one. I will absolutely make this a staple in my routine!

Nothinggg. Literally nothing. I love it so much

I won this product through a picky giveaway and i am SO grateful to have been introduced to this product. What a clean, sleek, and luxurious product from the look and feel of the bottle to the feel and effectiveness of the product. This product is made with 100% centella asiatica and has such a nice silky slip to it when applied.. similar to the im from mugwort essence if youve ever used that. It feels so fresh and clean on the face and has done wonders for my redness. It’s an amazing size for an ampoule.. 55mL as opposed to the standard 30! I use this twice a day morning and night and my skin is so so happy ive found it.. although it’s got that nice silly slip to it its not tacky or thick.. its nice and thin and i use it as my first serum after toning. Its absorbs nice and quick and goes well under other layers.. so its great if you have a multi step routine like i do. Overall im so glad this product found its way into my routine and i will 100% be repurchasing once its gone ☺️ thank you pocky and skin1004 for the opportunity to try this out!
