Hi guys. Just want to ask, if I can use vitamin C in my routine with this toner/s?

Currently, I'm using Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Tone Brightening Boosting Toner, and I'm thinking to start using Vitamin C in my routine. I just bought the Skin1004 Madagscar Centella Hyalu-Cica Brightening toner and I might use this in the mornings.

Do you have any pros and cons on using Vitamin C?
Would you also suggest your Vitamin C holy grail brand?

By the way, here is my morning routine:

- Toner (Skin1004 Tone Brightening Boosting Toner)
- Serum (Tiam Vita B3 Source)
- Moisturizer (Iunik Centella Calming Gel Cream)
- Sunscreen (Sun Bears Strong Super Plus Spf50)

Highly appreciate your suggestions and advices.

Vitamin C in routine?

Is it still okay if I use The Ordinary Aha Bha Peeling Solution tonight?

Last night was supposed to be my weekly schedule, but decided to postponed it because of this new acne on my cheek. Yesterday, this was just small, but I didn't poke it or anything. But when I woke up this morning, it became this hideous pus-filled acne.

I don't use acne patch, because this was just a hormonal pimple and sudsided since I had skincare routine.


Question is, is it still safe or should I wait til this dry up at all?


Thanks <3<3

Fresh pimple

Hi guysh!

Does anyone of you uses or has a lash/eyebrow serum on your routine?
If yes, what do you use?

I know this is not in scope of picky, but I want to have natural thick brows, or maybe thicker than my present brows

Btw, I use Lana eyelash and brow castor oil & aloe vera extract.
I'm using it since February and kinda bored with the slow progress.

Can you share yours, if you have?

Thanks xx

Eyebrow and Lash serum

Maybe this was not a bad experience but I&#39;m a bit worried that it did not sting. But none so big yet.

Been using this for 2weeks now (exfoliating once a week) and whenever I&#39;m rinsing this off of my face, my face feels sooooooooo soft. And I didn&#39;t felt any stinging. Was expecting to sting a little maybe, but I experienced none of it. Is it good that it didn&#39;t sting? Anyway, still observing to see results. Hoping that it&#39;s better.

No bad experience from this product. Thus, a holy grail.

HOLY GRAIL GREEN TEA TONER 🍵

Benton Deep Green Tea Toner replenishes moisture, soothes, and freshens, while leaving skin healthy and clear.

I&#39;ve been using this green tea toner for a month now, and my skin really likes it. It moisturizes my face and gives glow every after I&#39;m using it. My skin also absorbs the toner really well since it&#39;s water like. It&#39;s lightweight and just have a mild tea scent that doesn&#39;t irritate my skin. My hormonal acne became less too.

Based on my research and from skincare gurus in the internet, best to put toner when your face is still damp. Use your bare hands upon application for full absorption and just tap tap it until it&#39;s fully absorbed.

Chemical scent at first, but won't be bothered by it once you're used by it.

I received this product for free from Picky and L'Essential in exchange for my honest review.

L'Essential D5 Brightening Sunscreen

A lightweight facial sunscreen delivers a matte finish and helps protect skin from UVA/UVB rays. Also formulated with mild ingredients, it’s incredibly comfortable, even for sensitive skins.

The texture is thick, creamy-like lotion but lightweight to skin. It takes time for the skin to be absorbed, and it leaves a white cast. Although most people don't like sunscreen that leaves white cast, this has a matte finish that is good for using under makeup, and leaves a dewy, glowy look on the face.

This sunscreen is also good for using outdoors especially on hot, humid days as this doesn't feel greasy and sticky, and I still look fresh even hours of being outdoors.


I had breakout upon using this product. Beware to those with sensitive skin as this has citrus-mint fragrance.

It is nice that is a high-SPF, water-based sunscreen that safeguards and cools skin.

 - Provides broad spectrum protection.
 - Moisturizing extracts which prevents dryness and roughness.
 - Leaves a cooling and refreshing feeling on the skin.
 - Runny texture compared to other water-based sunscreen.
 - Lightweight and easily absorbed.
 - Water and sweat resistant.
 - No white cast upon drying.
 - Matte finish which I really love since I have oily skin
 - Citrus-minty fragrance.

Benefits ✨
 - Reduces the appearance of blemishes, spots, redness, enlarged pores, uneven tone and oily skin.
 - Promotes clearer, brighter, and smoother skin while balancing sebum production.
 - pH: 5.50 - 6.50

Key ingredients 🤍
 - Niacinamide: a vitamin that brightens and reduces the appearance of skin blemishes and congestion.
 - Zinc PCA: a mineral that helps control oil production.

Final say 💯
 - This serum cleared up my skin, lightens and brightens my skin, even my acne spots. The Ordinary Niacinamide serum also made my skin soft and evened out my skin tone. It also made my pores smaller and less oilier which was my main issue. The texture is a little bit thicker compared to other serums, but it sits and sinks into my skin so well. Definitely a HOLY GRAIL.

Perfect for oily, dull, spotty, blemished, aging skin.

Contraindications: If topical VitC is used as part of skincare, it should be applied at alternate times with this formula (this formula in the morning, Vitamin C in the evening). Otherwise, Niacinamide can affect integrity of pure-form Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid).
