Adapalene is stronger than retinol. My question is, why adapalene is advisable to apply everyday but retinol to be use like 2, 3 times a week?

Adapalene vs retinol

Hi all!

I was wondering if anyone who was selected to receive products from the Dear, Klairs & I’m From Giveaway by Picky has received their items yet.

Since the due date for the review is approaching on November 1st, which is just two weeks away, I wanted to check if there are any updates regarding the delivery.

Thank you in advance for sharing your experience or any insights!

Have you received products for Dear, Klairs & I'm From Giveaway from Picky yet?

I have purchased a few air cushion previously however, the shades didn't match with my skin tone. I usually pick the light lightest shade but sadly my face looks darker than my skin.

Here I am, writing this because I finally found the one that matches my skin tone. Yeayyyyyy!! 💕💕

This is my opinion about air cushion from The Face Shop

🅿🆁🅾🆂
🔹️Has a semi-matte formula with a silky soft finish
🔹️Medium to high coverage
🔹️Feels comfortable on the skin
🔹️Able to cover uneven skin tone
🔹️Suitable for daily use. Just dab-dab and you're good to go 💕
🔹️Only on my extra dry areas become a bit cakey (not much, just a little) after a few hours of application. Please note that I have a dry skin type. Otherwise, my make up on the not-so-dry part stays well on my face 👏

🅲🅾🅽🆂
🔸️Doesn't have much choice as it only comes in 3 colors; i.e.: 201 light beige, 203 beige & 205 dark beige. At first, the lightest shade was one shade lighter than me but, after it oxidized, it matched my skin tone

Do you facing the same situation with me about finding the right shades for your skin tone?

This air cushion is quite good

Hi, all! I am on adapalene under dermatology perscription. I have using it for about 2 and half month. My doctor also provide me with antibiotic. But until now my acne still come and go.. tiny bumps also not easy to flatten. Any idea on how to flatten tiny bumps and to stop acne from forming? 😔

I couldn&#39;t find one 😂

I&#39;ve been using this product for over 2 months, and now I am ready to share my thoughts (I exclude using it in the past two weeks to test other clay mask)

🅿🆁🅾🆂
✔ pores looks clean
✔ not drying the skin
✔ spatula included. Yeayyyy 💃
✔ soothe and calm the skin. But, I also use other soothing products in my skin care regimen. So I guess both of the products works well together 😄
✔ is it a gentle exfoliator? Yeah, it is! The &quot;Adzuki Bean granules&quot; is non-harsh at all. When rinsing off the mask, use circular motions with fingertips to allow gentle exfoliation

I noticed it had an &quot;oat&quot; as one of their ingredients but surprisingly, I did not experience adverse reactions. Why eh?? 😅 (note : those who followed me before will know that I am allergic to oatmeal)

🅲🅾🅽🅲🅻🆄🆂🅸🅾🅽
Suitable for all skin types especially recommended for those who suffer from acne, enlarged pores and stressed skin.

The primary benefit for this toner is soothing the skin rather than hydrating. So if you are looking for intense hydration, this is basically not meant for you. However, I do admit that the hydration level will increase with layering method

⚠️ Please watch the video to see the experiment of whether this toner can lower my skin temperature

🅷🅾🆆 🆃🅾 🆄🆂🅴
- Apply the product directly on the palm and pat on the face
- Soak a cotton pad with toner and apply to the skin
- Try mixing toner with cream/oil
- Soak 3-4 cotton pads and leave on the face for 10-15 minutes for the toner masking method

𝓟𝓻𝓸𝓼
🔹️ Contains heartleaf extract (77%) known to soothe the skin
🔹️ The texture is very runny with watery consistency
🔹️ Alcohol & fragrance-free
🔹️ Fast permeates into the skin
🔹️ This colorless toner does not leave the skin feeling oily and or greasy
🔹️ Definitely not sticky even if layered several times
🔹️ I feel like this toner is splashing cold water on my skin, and sometimes it's a little cold, and sometimes it feels close to normal temperature. I wonder why tho 🤔🤭
🔹️ Lower my skin temperature (please see the demo in the video!)
🔹️ Help to improve the absorption and effectiveness of other products in the next skincare routine 


Unfortunately... 

I have a love-hate relationship with this cleanser..

I enjoy the cleansing process with all those thick foams, but after rinsing, my skin doesn't feel smooth (it's more like a non-slip texture). With that, I started to lose interest and gradually reduces in reaching this product in my skin care routine..

I would love to like this cleanser, but my skin doesn't seem to like it..

Please do not disheartened when reading this review as this is solely based on my own experience. Your mileage may vary. 

I received this product for free from Picky (@go.picky) and SKIN1004 (@skin1004official) in exchange for my honest review.

It has a creamy paste texture that produces a thick foam when it is lathered with water. It has a hint of tea tree scent that doesn't linger.

My current skin is combi-dry with issues such as sensitive skin, enlarged & clogged pores, acne scars, PIE, PIH, as well as prone to acne. By reading the claims of this product, it's supposed to suit my skin well.

It does a great job in cleansing as it able to deep cleanse the skin. But I suggest to use a gentle cleanser in the morning, especially for dry skin. Usually I will include this cleanser in night routine.

My skin feels clean without any excess oil. It also doesn't make my skin feel tight.


So far, I haven’t seen a significant change in terms of fine lines. Understand that it takes more time for testing

It has a faint herbal scent (approved by my sensitive nose) hehe. The packaging is HUGE (in a 500ml bottle) which is probably gonna last a long time 🤭

Since it has a milky and runny texture, I imagine that its absorption rate would be not so good. Surprisingly, it is fast permeates into the skin without leaving any tackiness 😍

Oh yeah, before I forget, my office mate came to me asking for product recommendations since she was starting to feel uncomfortable with her skin (she has dry skin type). I decided to share some of this toner with her. She came back to me by saying that this toner alone is enough to hydrate her skin even without the needful to finish off with a moisturiser after ablution. I am just wowwww 🤩🤩

I would suggest to do 3 skin-method or more layering where it would benefit you the most if you want to achieve more hydrating effect

This product is suitable for combination skin types (me) &amp; dry skin peeps (my friend). We both enjoyed using this toner and agree that this product makes our skin feeling soft and hydrated😆

It has a viscous yet runny texture that is lightweight. It is fast permeated into the skin with minimal tackiness. I don't smell any scent from this product and it is a yayyy for me as I prefer unscented products. 

I use two pumps daily, day and night (sometimes 3 or 4 times a day 🤭). Why two pumps instead of one? - Well, just because I love how hydrating this serum felt on my skin. And oh, my skin feels plump too 🥰

When doing a patch test of this serum, I did not experience any adverse reactions. I paired it with Skintific Mugwort Anti Pores & Acne Clay Mask & as in the picture, my acne has shrunk and is getting better 😚

Considering how powerful of their star ingredients (SymWhite377, Niacinamide & Tranexamic Acid), I believe that it will work wonders with continued use 👍
