Hey everyone!
Before I started my Retinol journey I was a bit scared as mostly everywhere I read to expect dryness or peeling possibly. 
They said to start with a low % retinol. 
My skin is tolarent to acids was on the combination skin type  and still I didn’t know what to expect. I was most afraid of peeling. Dryness can be treated , but peeling would take time to heal!

I still caved in and got a trail size of the Drunk Elephant Apassioni. I used it as the brand suggested. In a mix of Bhydra and drops of Marula oil!

Started at the age of 31...

It was a game changer! 

Do you remember your first Retinol experience !
Do share below
Or what’s stopping you from using Retinol?

Which Retinol did you start with?

Hi everyone,
Niacinamide is one ingredient that I always look for in my serums, having it in the ingredient list is definately a plus point right?

I would like to know from your experiences, would it help if I added a separate Niacinamide serum additionally to my routine? 

I have the Paulas choice Niacinamide booster handy!

Do you use a separate a niacinamide serum?

Again i found it to be a bit pricy, i understand the ingredient list is rich, i guess i should wait for sales to pick it up 

Loved that its a soft buttery lipbalm, the chaostick makes it hygenic to use and its small and sleek. 

I like that it has no scent, at times we need a break from scented lipbalms. 

Its not heavy, its light yet leaves the lips looking hydrated, i kike that it has no tint, so its your regular everyday balm. Its works beautifully under lipstick as well so its acts like a sheild. 

I was surprised to see its long list of ingredients. And also happy that it has Ceramide NP. 

As the name suggests its gentle and its a cleanser im using everday in my pm rotuine. A very small amount of it is needed. Foams well, washes off easilt woth out drying out the face. The tune is huge and lasts you months. Its a very well priced product. Klairs mever dissapoint

It's super hydrating, yet to see it work on brighting but I am hopeful. I like that it is easy to incorporate into any routine easily. 

Requires a lot of water to wash off. 
Yet to test it further 

Such a fun way to start your routine. The texture is unique. I'm not sure if it suited me. I had tiny bumps after washing off. I have to try it more to see how it works 

Nothing bad, could be said it's a bit expensive I guess 

The texture and the effect on the skin is amazing. Light weight and produces immense hydration while working on the skins barrier.
