I'm about to get a Biossance product that has Squalane in it and I've never heard of it before. What are your guy's thoughts and feelings about Squalane? Do you like it? Do you think it's effective? Do you have any negative experiences with this ingredient? Thanks in advance for your input and help!

Biossance Squalane + BHA Pore Toner

I have heard amazing things about Murad skincare products but they seem a little pricey to me. For all of you that have bought and used them, do you think they are overpriced or well worth it?

Murad, overpriced or worth it?

¤ I'm still pretty new to skincare and am learning everyday! Especially thanks to Picky and this community of wonderful & helpful skincare lovers! ¤

¤ If you're like me and still learning then I thought maybe this could help someone! ¤

¤ I thought purging was bad, bad, bad! ¤

📢 P U R G I N G 📢

When switching skincare or adding in new products, purging can be a necessary part of the process!
Purging is how your skin expresses backed up bacteria and "future" breakouts that were hiding in it.

It's easy to think you wasted your investment because your new skincare or product is making your skin worse, BUT ride it out!

Purging appears in small clusters and typically will appear in areas that breakouts are common for you.

After the purging process, your skin will be clear from those "future" breakouts. A common purging process can last 4-6 weeks.

Sometimes less, but also sometimes more.

I actually didn&#39;t have any problems with this product. No adverse reactions or dying out of my skin.

I have never before used cleansing oil and am very happy with the Milky Mushroom Gentle Cleansing Oil by KORA Organics. It&#39;s a dual phase cleanser so you have to shake it up for proper application. I haven&#39;t used it for makeup, just on my bare skin. It makes my skin look and feel very clean. It doesn&#39;t dry it out at all. I also love the packaging. It comes in a glass container with a pump that you can turn and lock for travel or to avoid accidental messes.

I love this stuff but it&#39;s a little too pricey for me to consider using it as a staple in my skincare routine.

I am 33 years old and I just recently have gotten into skincare and anti-aging products. I am hooked on KateCeuticals!

 I used this KateCeuticals Total Repair Cream applied over top of the KateCeuticals Firming Serum. I am really happy with the consistency of this Cream and am thrilled that it didn&#39;t leave a sticky residue behind. It absorbed so quickly and leaves my skin feeling super soft and hydrated. It has a slight, pleasant fragrance upon application but it quickly dissipates. In just a little over a week of using this cream my pores seem smaller, my skin feels firmer and it is smoother in texture.

I received a sample of Laniege Radian-C Cream complimentary from Laniege. I love the bright and smooth quality of the container it comes in, it looks revitalizing before you even open it. I cracked it open for my first application and was thrilled with the refreshing, citrus scent that reminded me of its use of Vitamin C as an ingredient. I could feel my skin soaking up the cream and the very first time I used it I could already feel a difference in my skin. After using this product for a week I&#39;m excited to look in the mirror in the morning because my skin looks renewed, brighter and definitely healthier!!! I will be recommending this to all my friends and family and I am already planning on keeping this as a part of my daily beauty regimen even when my sample runs out.

I love this serum but, unfortunately, it&#39;s a little too pricey to have as a staple in my skincare routine.

I&#39;ve found that my face looks and feels healthier and firmer is just over a week of use of this KateCeuticals Firming Serum. It&#39;s so effective that you really only need to use 2-3 pumps for each application. It has a great non-sticky, thicker, even lotion-like consistency that i much prefer over more watery-like serums. It does have a subtle Citrus type fragrance that i personally find very pleasant. This serum leaves my skin feeling soft and refreshed throughout the whole day even without using added moisturizer.

 I received this product gifted by Kate Somerville in exchange for my honest review.

Nothing bad about this toner, in my experience.

Australian brand Nuria Rescue Pore Minimizing Toner is the best natural (non-alcohol) toner I have ever tried. Not only does it minimize your pores, it also helps your skin become more receptive to skincare treatments. It contains Tea Tree Essential Oil which helps to promote a healthy skin microbiome. I use this toner after my cleanser and before using a serum and&#47;or moisturizing. It can be used in both your AM and PM routines. This natural toner has not dried out or irritated my skin at all. Everytime I put this on, my face instantaneously feels cleaner and fresher.
