Do people prefer buying their products straight from the manufacturer or through a third party such as sephora or ulta?

I noticed my face has been just a tad peely and  sensitive lately and was wondering what people use to get rid of the dry skin but also helps with the sensitivity. 

Thanks for the help!

My eyes have felt more tired and sensitive lately and I was hoping to get some suggestions for cooling eye patches. I'm currently using this one which I enjoy but was wondering what everyone else has tried. I also put my eye patches in the fridge so something that can withstand that would be nice.

How long is TOO long to have skincare products and where do you guys store them? I want to buy extra when things go on Sale but I'm also worried it'll just go bad and I'll have to throw it out. But then! Some products don't have expiration dates,  so how would I know?

Saving and Storing

maskne!

My skin still feels tight and dry shortly after using the product but that might just be my skin. Tad on the expensive side but really you don&#39;t need much per use for this one so it could save you money if you&#39;re frugal with it.

This smooth textured light feeling jelly cleanser feels really good on my skin. I love the way it lathers and washes off clean without requiring extra effort. I do have dry skin so sometimes I try not to use anything too thick and this works perfectly. I also have acne prone skin and I feel like this jelly cleanser cleans my face without angering these unwelcomed friends. Great for morning and night time routine . Not sure it works to remove a full face of make up since I don&#39;t wear any but if you have a full face of sunscreen and other skincare serums and stuff to wash off, it works great!

Unfortunately this doesn&#39;t help with my dry skin at all but I think makes it dryer. It definitely feels like my skin is stripped away of all my oils when I use this. The good and the bad. I&#39;ve succumb to using this in the shower as the last step to my shower routine. Usually face cleansers that end up in the shower for me means that the product is meh and I would probably not buy it again.

This water to foam cleanser is nice for those trader joes lovers like me. Tbh I love trader joes products and I think they do mean well and try their best with everything they offer. I also thought oooh! Tea tree will help with my stubborn acne break outs! And I can honestly say I havent had as much while using this product. So maybe it did help in that sense.

Don&#39;t bring this into the shower. Hahaha. The moisture will clog the bottle and you&#39;ll lose your product. I speak from experience but luckily was able to save the amount I had left in there. 

Also a bit in the pricey side.

By far one of my most favorite products. It starts off as powder and lathers up super well and feels light on your skin. If you&#39;re worried about using too much or too little like I tend to do, Don&#39;t! They kindly figured that out for us and each pour is exactly the amount you need.

Nothing really.  Its pretty up there on my favorite things to use. Might be drying? But that&#39;s why we moisturize after.

I actually really love this mask. It adds a little tingle all around my face which leaves me feeling fresh. I use it after a long 12 hr night of work especially now that we have to wear a mask for almost the entire time. It&#39;s just the perfect pick me up to sooth my skin.
