How is a product patch tested, and how do you know if it is safe to use?

Since my back is covered with acne, my backne has gotten worse. Do you have any affordable recommendation? Thank you!!

Backne

Since I'm not an expert on makeup, I would want to ask some questions. I use sunscreen first, then makeup. Before applying foundation, I wait for my skin to absorb sunscreen. But after 3 to 4 hours, I notice that my skin has a cakey appearance. What can I do to avoid looking cakey?

🍃 7 Type Peptides

Benefits
🍃 A soothing ampoule that helps calm irritated skin and repair damaged skin barrier.
🍃 Clinically proven to by hypoallergic and non-comedogenic, suitable for sensitive and acne-prone skin.

Thoughts/Experience
🍃The ampoule comes in a 30ml glass bottle with a dropper.

Its texture is similar to milk, and I love that it is unscented. 
It is also lightweigh.

My face can usually be covered with 2-3 drops. To get it to absorb quickly into my skin, I prefer patting it onto my face as compared to spreading it. After applying it, I don't feel greasy.

My skin feels hydrated and smooth when it has settled. It contains ceramide, which supports in maintaining the skin barrier healthy.

Because the ampoule has been tested and proven to be non-comedogenic for skin that is acne prone, I recommend it to anyone with sensitive skin like mine.

🌾 Cato Cream
▪provides long-lasting moisture to damaged skin to improve skin condition.
🍁 Thoughts
-The cream aims to repair the skin barrier and make the skin seal the moisture in. Cato cream is super lightweight. It has a rich-light texture. After using the toner, blending is simple and doesn't leave a sticky residue. I love that it is fragrance-free. This is very hydrating since it gives your skin the hydration it needs! It has glutathione and bisabolol that brightens the skin by fading away the discoloration caused by sun and acne. My pimples look less noticeable as a result. It makes my dark spots a little lighter. This helps my skin condition get better too. It is suitable for all skin types, but works best on dry skin and those with a damaged barrier.

🗒Please take note that I maintained to the routine for a whole 13 days without using or switching to any other products.

🌾 UnderPore Foam Cleanser
▪a gentle cleanser that removes excess sebum and cleans the skin well without stripping it.

🍁 Thoughts
- The cleanser has a gel texture and feels incredibly gentle on my skin. The tiny hole/opening of the tube prevents me from accidentally squeezing out too much cleanser; I only need a small amount to get it to foam. 
Every time I wash, it leaves my skin feeling soft and clean. The fact that it doesn't make my skin dry is great. Additionally, it is fragrance-free, which I adore best as a person with sensitive skin. This cleanser is gentle and perfect for daily use. This is ideal for those with oily skin like me who are also prone to acne.

Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Toner
* Contains 14 kinds of hyaluronic acid to retain moisture in the skin for a long time. Contains witch hazel that is suitable for oily skin and enlarged pores, which I am experiencing right now. The toner is lightweight and absorbs easily into my skin. I use this in my morning and evening routine. You can apply this by using your palm or cotton pads. I love how it is fragrance-free. After weeks of using this, I haven’t experienced any redness or irritation.

I haven't notice any result on wrinkles and depuffing effect.

VVbetter Firming Eye Cream

“I received this product for free from Picky and VVbetter in exchange for my honest review.”

⭐ Ingredients: 
• Vitamin C
• Bakuchiol
• Vitamin B

⭐ Benefits
• Brightens dark and dull areas under eyes and balances skin tone.
• Absorbs quickly, makes skin firm, elastic, and resilient.
• It fills the skin around your eyes with moisture and nutrients.

⭐ Thoughts/Experience:
The eye cream's packaging is really unique. It comes in a twist-top purple bottle with a built-in pump dispenser.

The cream has a smooth, silky, and moist texture. It has a light scent.

Due to schoolwork and other projects, I often slept in late as a college student. My dark circles get worse over time as a result. I really struggled to find a product that works well to lighten my undereye area.

I was first hesitant to apply this  eye cream into my morning routine because I didn't have much time to wait for it to fully absorb before applying my makeup. Yet it was better than I had expected. For me 1-2 pumps usually suffice to cover my undereyes. My under eye skin absorbs it quickly, and after a few minutes, it feels smooth and hydrated. I adore how my skin feels when the eye cream is kept in the refrigerator. Every time I apply it to my skin, I enjoy how the cooling and calming effect. It also didn't make my eyes irritated.
