hello! i hope you're all well. 

i'm currently trying to sort out my body care routine, as i've realised my back and chest are as picky as my face 🗿 i was thinking about trying paula's choice's body products.

so i was wondering if any of y'all have had experiences with them or their moisturisers in general? i'm looking for something that won't break out my back/chest. i'd use my face moisturiser but it's too small to use past my collarbone area w/o me running out of it too quick 😭  i am also interested in trying the body shampoo + any of the exfoliants, if they're good. 

any other suggestions are welcome, preferably cruelty free? or how any of you who deal with chest/back breakouts moisturise that area w/o making breakouts any worse. 

thank you so much! 💗

experiences with paula's choice body products/moisturisers?

hello! i was wondering what experiences y'all have had with the klairs toners? particularly this one. i've been wanting to add a toner to my routine again for a while. my skin is quite acne prone, although my breakouts are under control at the moment, and my skin is on the dry side. 

i'm open to any other suggestions as well, as long as they're cruelty free.

thank you, i really appreciate it <3

opinions on dear, klairs toners?

hello! i hope you're all well. i have some post-acne marks (flat, reddish dots but they're not too visible apart from one or two) and i was wondering what ingredients i could use to help speed up the process of them disappearing? 

i'm using a treatment with benzoyl peroxide + clindamycin so i am a little worried about adding more actives to my routine and what will/won't work. i use the treatment every other night and it's the only active i'm using. 

i use cruelty-free skincare so please keep that in mind if you suggest anything, thank you so much <3

getting rid of post-acne marks?

very gentle and my skin feels soft and soothed after use! i use it alongside a milk cleanser but even when i used it alone it didn&#39;t dry my skin out

i sometimes find it hard to massage it in if i don&#39;t use quite a lot of it, which isn&#39;t much of an issue but it&#39;s the only downside i can think of lol 🤧

feels a lot lighter than an oil cleanser (to me) and it has a creamy + gentle texture without feeling heavy.  it removes sunscreen well and i love how my skin feels after using it: clean and soft. 

i use it as a first cleanse but i feel like it could work well on it&#39;s own as it cleanses effectively.

i really enjoy how mild it is! it has a light texture and is more watery in consitency compared to their supple preperation toner. it is primarily green tea water with glycerin, calndula flower water & coconut water. these ingredients are great for soothing and hydrating skin, so it's great to see them included in this toner (': 

i find this is especially good for layering due to it's lightness and over the few weeks i've been using it, i've noticed that my skin is visibly more hydrated than before.

and of course i have to mention the bottle size, it's very cost effective! i'd definitely reccomend this if you like to layer your toners as it's lasting me a long time. i would also give this a try if you have sensitive skin or need hydration but prefer products that are lightweight.

the only issue i have is the size of the bottle, i wish it was bigger. you don&#39;t need much of it but i&#39;d love if they made a larger version of the product.

my skin is a little on the dry side but prone to breakouts, so i often struggle to find a good moisturiser as they&#39;re often either not nourishing enough for my skin or feel heavy &amp; break me out. however, this cream is perfect for me!

 it has a creamy and slightly gel-like texture, to me it also feels lightweight (^: it&#39;s amazing over hydrators or applied to damp skin.

over the 4-5 months i&#39;ve been using it, my skin looks visibly healthier &amp; i feel like it&#39;s strengthened my moisture barrier too. i have been using an acne treatment (duac) that can be drying and whilst using this as my moisturiser i haven&#39;t experienced any dryness. this may be down to a few things e.g. the method i&#39;ve used but i think it has contributed to me avoiding that side effect.

it contains both alcohol and fragrance. i actually quite like the scent, which is a typical sunscreen one. if you dislike fragrance or that type of scent then this might not be right for you. 

i actually didn&#39;t realise it had alcohol in it until after a few months of use, so i don&#39;t think it&#39;s a problem for me or very prominent as an ingredient. when i first used it in summer i didn&#39;t notice any dryness but now i&#39;m using it again in winter, my skin has been needing more than just the sunscreen on morning. this most likely won&#39;t be an issue for oilier skin but if your skin is dry (mine is normal to dry) or sensitive to alcohol, it&#39;s something to consider.

this sunscreen sinks into my skin quickly and feels moisturising without being heavy&#47;greasy. it has a slightly dewy finish and my skin feels soft when i use it. 

during the warmer months i wear it without any moisturiser underneath but i prefer to wear it with moisturiser during colder months. this links into the negatives of this product, so i&#39;ll explain why in a moment! 

it&#39;s a very solid product and something i feel like i can use without any issues.
