GEL CREAMS FOR OILY-DEHYDRATED SKIN

I love chemical sunscreens and my skin has no problem with it back then. But I don't know what happened now because it starts to sting my nose and mouth area especially when my skin is sensitized.

Aside from opting to use a physical sunscreen(which I won't because they dry out my skin causing more sensitivity),  how do you deal with this? :(

Chemical Sunscreen stings my face! 😫

Do you guys know any soothing gels aside from Aloe Vera?? 🥰

Soothing Gels

Will I repurchase? As much as I wanted to, the price isn't affordable for me. 😞 33$ is almost 1.7k here in the Philippines which is really expensive.

UPDATE!!

💛 FOLLOW-UP REVIEW AFTER USING IT FOR 5+ MONTHS! 💛

*I did a 1-month journey review below.

💜 300ppm(0.03%) Retinal 
💜 10,000ppm(1%) Bakuchiol
💜 Also has Niacinamide, Sodium Hyaluronate, Centella Asiatica, Beta Glucan, Peptides, and Ceramides

MY EXPERIENCE:

This is what I would say my first retinoid product. Although I have tried the least potent type of retinoid, I mostly use that as my spot treatment or on my neck.

If you are looking for a sign to try retinoids like Retinol/Retinal, I am giving you that rn!

This product is a game-changer on my routine. 

 There is a misconception about retinoids thinning the skin out and that is not the case. It actually thickens it as it stimulate collagen production that will strengthen the skin over time.

And I definitely agree! 

Back then when I haven't tried this, my skin is always prone to dehydration caused by damaged skin barrier that even layering hydrators and moisturizers don't work well. I do experience this too when I was on my 1st to 2nd month of using the retinoid but not too often than before.

And now, I have been using a lot of actives lately. I use a 2% Salicylic Acid Cleanser then use retinoid.

 I started using this daily since January but last May, I sometimes alternate AHA and Retinal on a nightly basis.

 And currently, I am using Azelaic Acid + Salicylic Acid Gel in the morning and Retinal Cream at night. And I don't feel any tightness or stinging! Skin is still happy. 

This product has been helping me to keep my skin healthy and maintain its elasticity. 

As for acne, it did just an okay job on preventing them. I am suffering from hormonal breakouts and it is absolutely hard to avoid having them.

I love this product so much and glad I have back ups!

This is a moisturizing and beginner-friendly retinoid product for that well-aging routine. Whether you have dry, combi, oily, or even sensitive skin, this is something you can incorporate to your routine!

30-Day Journey with @bywishtrend Vitamin A-Mazing Bakuchiol Night Cream

I am one of the lucky affiliates to join their first seeding event this 2022!

Disclaimer: I have tried a Vitamin A serum last year that uses Retinyl Palmitate, the least powerful retinoid. That's very gentle and I didn't notice any drastic changes on my skin. 

(See the other video for products I have used and how I incorporated them in my routine)

--

My Experience:

I just wanna start off by saying that my skin has never felt this a-mazing! 🥺 Literally can't stop myself from looking at the mirror.

They are not kidding when they said this is a Vitamin A for beginners! It is very gentle on my skin that I didn't experience severe irritations plus I can use it around the eye area.

The cream itself leaves a glowy finish and doesn't make my skin feels tacky. It has lotion consistency that provides both hydration and moisturization. It spreads easily on to the skin and absorbs quickly while still having enough time to blend it in.

It is my first trying a product with Retinal or Bakuchiol.  My skin before using had just recovered from being damaged, had a few active acne, and fresh PIH/PIE.

 It wasn't a smooth experience since I purged for 2 weeks but it  indeed results to a smoother, firmer and radiant skin! 

The most noticeable effect is how it lessened my skin textures. My pores appear refined and skin doesn't feel/look bumpy. 

It reduces the appearance of my hyperpigmentation as well as red marks in conjunction with my other calming and brightening products.

 I have acne-prone skin. I  still get pimples but not as big or painful. It's inevitable. They heal after a few days.

Improves my skin elasticity that results to a plumper and healthier skin!

Kudos to ByWishtrend for formulating this kind of product. This product offers a-mazing effects that I see and feel in 1 month of using.

Rating: ★★★★★



Too bad it has possible irritants making the scent too strong and the formula not suitable for sensitive skin.

But other than, it works greatly on my skin! 


GOODAL REVIEW: Green Tangerine Vita-C Serum 🍊

I received these products for free from @go.picky and Goodal in exchange for my honest review.

This line is known for their Dark Spot Serum which is one of the products I will be reviewing. 

As someone with acne-prone skin, products that deals with hyperpigmentation are must.

🍊 Green Tangerine Vita-C Dark Spot Care Serum 🍊
★★★★

This has been on my wishlist for so long and finally got the chance to try it.

I am afraid to use ascorbic acid on my skin so I usually opt for Vitamin C derivatives or ingredients high in Vitamin C.

And this serum has 70% Tangerine Extract, Niacinamide, and Ascorbyl Glucoside to not just brighten my face but also abundant with antioxidants.


This lightweight gel-type serum is both hydrating and moisturizing on the skin. 

A great serum to  pair with sunscreen!

❌ Essential oils

Final Verdict for both serum and sunscreen 💭

I used this duo after our beach vacation which made me spend time under the sun a lot. In a span of 2 weeks, I noticed my skin brightened. It went back to my usual skin tone.


I can recommend these for people with strong skin barrier and don't have any issues with fragrance and essential oils.

This sunscreen is absolutely not for my skin tone and that goes the same with other mineral sunscreens. I accepted that fact. xD

My Final Thoughts:

This sunscreen is absolutely not for my skin tone and that goes the same with other mineral sunscreens. I accepted that fact. xD

The whitecast doesn't really disappear on appear. I look white all day. 

But unlike other mineral or hybrid sunscreens that I tried, this one of the few that didn't cause too much dehydration on my skin. 

The finish isn't fully matte. It has an emollient feel leaving your skin with a bit glow. 

As someone who can experience dehydration or dryness with mineral sunscreens, it best for me to add a lot of moisture before going in with this sunscreen. 

After incorporating a moisturizer before this, I didn't get any dry patches.

Would like to commend the brand for the texture of this product..It is not paste-y and glides to the skin nicely. 

I didn't experience any pilling even when applied in layers. But sadly, my makeup doesn't look good on top of this sunscreen.

No eye sting too!

Do I like it? I don't. It just doesn't blend with my skin tone unless I use a small amount which is not okay when using a sunscreen.

But it is okay and better than my drying mineral sunscreens. Would bring this on beach trips!

This would work best on oily skin types. Moisturize well if you have combination-dry skin.

Rating: ★★★

Will I repurchase? Nah. :(

Note that I use roughly 1/4 teaspoon EACH on my face and neck.

🍋 Green Tangerine Vita-C Dark Spot Care Sun Serum 🍋
★★★★

This is my first time trying out a sun serum. It actually felt more of like a gel sunscreen.

Surprisingly, this has 2% Niacinamide, Arbutin, and Ascorbyl Glucoside which may be why it is called serum because it is concentrated with these brightening ingredients.

UV Filters: Uvinul A Plus, Tinosorb S, Uvinil T 150, Amiloxate, Parsol SLX.

Absolutely felt like a serum! So, so light on the skin. 

I truly enjoy applying this every morning because I don't have to worry about it leaving any whitecast. It doesn't also take a lot time to set.

No eye sting. No pilling. Works just fine under makeup. 

Serum and sunscreen in one!

❌ Has alcohol and  lots of essential oils. 
 Scent lingers and smells like citrusy plastic.

🌾 Vegan Rice Milk MOISTURIZING TONER 🌾
★★★★★

I am a toner addict and my skin just "drinks" them all up. This toner has made it to my 'faves' list.

 This toner is like a toner-essence hybrid. Its viscous consistency made the formula intensely hydrating and plumping. It also feels nourishing to the skin without the heavy and sticky feeling. Thanks to Hyaluronic Acid and Panthenol!

I love how it nicely slips onto my skin leaving it felt moisturized even with just a layer.

I also appreciate the way they put its pH level of 5.5 on the back of this bottle.


--

Final Verdict for both toner and cream 💭

I brought these two with me on our 9-day vacation and had to pack lightly. Suprisingly, both did a great job on keeping my skin moisturized and well-hydrated. 

Love how I can simplify my routine with these since the toner is again, super hydrating and moisturizing which is enough for me not to bring any other hydrators. The cream is also *chef's kiss*.

Both are fragrance & essential oil free!

I would recommend these the most to people with dry and sensitive skin. But if you have oily-combination skin that enjoys moisturizing products, these will work for you too!
