I currently am using tretinoin cream at .025 and would like to incorporate the HaruHaru Wonder Black Rice Facial Oil but don’t want to minimize the effectiveness of my tret. Does it matter what calming or moisturizing products you put on under tret or over tret? Where should tret fall in a full routine or should tret limit your routine to only cleanser/tret/moisturizer?

How do I most effectively use an oil in my skincare routine which also has tretinoin?

So many of the Korean sunscreens that I try have a super shiny finish and can leave me feeling a little greasy. And secondly, they are so expensive for a little tube of 50ml which if used properly won’t last me more that 3 weeks. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Help!

Best inexpensive Korean Sunscreens for combo oily skin… Ready, go!

Wish there was zero fragrance, but it’s only very light. 

I picked this up on a whim because I needed a moisturizer on a budget as my old one had run out. I am so glad that i did! I really love it. I use it in the evenings and it gives my oily/combo skin just enough moisture without feeling smothering. It layers very well with my tret and my facial oil. Has the lightest fragrance but doesn’t irritate me at all. 

This made my skin feel sticky. So, there’s something in this formulation that sits on top of the skin instead of just absorbing. It’s fine once i put my moisturizer over, but im not a fan of that element of the formulation. 

I received this product for free from Picky and T'else in exchange for my honest review. It is a great fermented essence. In general my skin likes these fermented essences. This is a good layering product. A little goes a long way. 

Isn’t the silkiest feeling (if that’s what you are looking for). It’s not bad or gritty or anything like that, just not buttery smooth. One star off for that, but definitely does its job gracefully. 

Erases my shine without making my skin look dead or dull. Totally translucent on my skin tone. Doesn’t feel cakey. 

It’s too thick for me, breaks me out and has fragrance. I was not a fan. 

Like almost all Korean SPF, there’s not enough product. I FLY through this size package of SPF and that makes these actually quite expensive and unsustainable. Only other negative is that it leaves me really shiny. Not greasy, but super shiny. Accentuated my pores. 

This product was a winner overall. No white cast, absorbs very quickly (although it leaves a really strong shine behind), it’s super light weight and does not irritate me in any way. Packaging is normal.
