Hi all.
I've never used any product containg retinol or its derivatives. 
Can anyone more experienced suggest me what products are good to start with?
I have combo skin and I am k-beauty fan so I would appreciate if the products come from Korea.

Thank you in advance. ❤️❤️

Retinol newbie with combo skin

Hi, I've been interested in buying Benton Let's carrot oil, but I'm not sure how to use it. Should I treat it as an serum and use before my moisturiser? Or maybe as last step of routine? Is it better to use in in the morning or evening? 
Thanks in advance ❤️.

Face oils - how to use them?

Hi,
as the topic above, what are the best ingredients/products to use after exfoliating? 

As far as I know it's good moisturizer. But is it all?

thanks in advance ❤️❤️❤️

What to use after exfoliator?

Hi guys 😊.
Recently I've got myself skincare set - AHA BHA PHA 30 days miracle AC SOS kit from Some By Mi. Since every piece in this set contains acids I'm wondering if I can use it all together or should I separate each product and add it to my routine. What do you think? 
Also how do you use your sets? All products together or just whenever it suits you? 
I am thinking of buying their yuja brightening set and also wonder if I can use all products together 🤔.

Thanks in advance pickies ❤️❤️

Skincare set - use all together or separately?

Are you reluctantly to try completely new brands and wait for first reviews or you're brave to be the first reviewer?

I've seen some cool looking new products, there's almost none reviews of them here on picky or internet so I'm kind of hesitate and don't know - buy or not 🤔🤔.

I was wandering what's your approach ❤️

Trying new brands

It pills when reapplicated. It contains a lot of perfuming ingredients and alcohol.

✨My experience
Starting with K-beauty long time ago I remember this one being top sunscreen, so how does it age? Let's see my impressions.
This is a hybrid sunscreen, containing 4 chemical agents and one physical one (Titanium Dioxide). Other star ingredients are Aloe Leaf Extract and Tocopheryl Acetate. Unfortunately it contains A LOT of perfuming ingredients and alcohol.
The texture is rather thick cream that leaves a bit of white cast, but it blends in easily, leaving dewy finish. It has light citrusy scent, very quickly fading. It didn't break or irritate me. It also didn't peel but only with first, morning application, when I used it as a final step of my routine. With reapplication it peels horribly. It was hot summer and my skin becomes more oily and sweaty during the day, and maybe that's the factor, but it doesn't change the fact that's not what I'm looking for in a sunscreen.
So how does it age? I think I'm a bit disappointed with it. After all those positive opinions I thought it would be really good. It's an old sunscreen, being available for so long but I think nowadays we have so many better options to choose from. Still if you're curious of this best selling Cosrx sunscreen and want to see how it would work for your skin, feel free to try it. Yet I'm not recommending it for combo/oily skin types.

Review of Madagascar Centella Tone Brightening Capsule Cream by skin104.

I really like skin1004 products. Maybe it's centella asiactica - their signture ingredient that makes all their cosmetics I've used really work for me. So I wasn't hesitating to try this brightening cream for my dark spots. And as always I wasn't disappointed.

🍑 Product description
This soothing cream brightens dull skin while calming irritation. This is also pefect revitalising cream for sensitive skin.

🍑 Key ingredients
Wow ❤️. I'm so impressed how the ingredient list is full of goodies. There's nothing bad there. So I think I mention only superkey ingredients:
👍Niacinamide - for evening skin tone and anti-inflammation
👍Tranexamic acid - for reducing dark spots
👍Alpha-bisabolol - for healing and soothing

This cream contains shea butter so those with oily skin keep that in mind. 

🍑 Quick info
Package: 75ml transparent, white tube
Scent: none
Texture: light, fast absorbing with little madecassoside white beads
Color: white
PAO: 12 months

🍑 My impressions
Tone Brightening cream is the one I've chosen for my post acne dark spots. Getting rid of those takes some time, so I wanted to add more products to my daily routine. This cream is very light, fast absorbing and not sticky at all. It has little white madecassoside beads that quickly melts on the skin. After using it my complexion is more smooth and dewy. It's also prefect day time moisturizer. Although it contains shea butter I didn't experience any clogged pores or breakouts with my combo skin type. 
Overall I really like it ❤️❤️. I have noticed steady improvement in my skin condition but I guess it'll take some time to even completely and this cream surely helps with that.

🍑 My impressions
First thank you Blithe for opportunity to try this lovely serum❤️.
When I first got it I was a bit afraid that it might not be the best for my skin type, which is combination but getting more oily as the whether changes now. I've read several opinions is problematic for people with my skin type. How happy I was to discover it just works wonderfully❤️. Don't know if I'm exception or what but this serum quickly became my holy grail. 
I rarely write about the package but this one is really pretty, solid glass jar, little spatula. I enjoy it very much. 
It is a multitasking product, combining serum and moisturizer in one. So if you like your morning routine quick and simple this one is for you. It has balm-like, soft texture, spreads easily and leaves no greasy layer. You only need a tiny bit so it will last long time. It has rather string citrus scent but this one didn't bother me and faded away wuickly. It works good under makeup although I'm only wearing foundation and a bit of compact powder. 
It suppose to provide moisture and brighten skin. I can definitely say that my skin was moisturised enough during the day after using this. The skin also feels nourished and natural.
Overall I didn't expect it to be that good. Maybe I shouldn't read the reviews before but it suprised me how well it works and how good it feels. I'm going to finish this jar and look for another one. Very very good ❤️❤️.

Review of Anti-wrinkle Effect Ampoule by Miguhara from Time Line.

Anti-wrinkle and anti-aging care haven't been of my skincare priority list for quite long time, as I don't have visible wrinkles or fine lines. But being in my 30's I feel it's time to incorporate and use some products that brand themselves as anti-aging. I started by using this serum twice or three times a week in my evening routine. 

🍑 Product description
Adenosine and phyto-chemical elements maintain the balance between oil and water in your skin. This new high performance anti-aging ampoule makes your skin texture brighter and more elastic and strenghtens the collagen effects in your skin.

🍑 Key ingredients
Rosa Centifolia Flower Water, Hydrolized Collagen, Ginseng Root Extract, Licorice Root Extract, Astragalus Membranaceus Root Extract, Ginger Root Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Silver Ear Fungus Extract, Acetyl Hexapeptide-3, Adenosine

🍑 Ingredients to be aware of
none ❤️

🍑 Quick info
Package: 35ml glass bottle with 
Scent: subtle roses
Texture: watery, runnig
Color: beautiful red 

🍑 My impressions
First, I really love the package 😍😍. This glass bottle fits perfectly in the palm of your hand. The dropper has bent tip and it's very comfortable to use. This ampoule has subtle roses smell but there's no fragrance so the smell comes from Rose Flower Water. It has beautiful red color (though is achieved with synthetic colorant), it absorbes quickly without leaving sticky feeling. It didn't break nor irritate my skin.
For me it's hard to tell the results of using this ampoule. Why? Because without visible fine lines it's hard to tell whether it's working or not. Still, I will continue to use it because it's for preventing not curing 😍😍 and the usage of this ampoule is very pleasant.

🍑 My impressions
Another piece from Hyaluronic Acid line ❤️.
When I think sleeping mask I immediately see a thick, sticky layer of product, that you have to put an hour before going to sleep and still be careful not to spread it across your pillow. I always hated that so I'm very careful when it comes to sleeping masks. Fortunately that's not the case here ❤️.
Although texture of this mask is thick gel it absrobs pretty quickly without leaving any sticky layer. It has no smell. It very easy to spread and it comes in comfortable tube. And the pillow stays clean 😂. 
It's packed with good ingredients - too many of them to list here and it's fragrance and essential oils free. 
After using this mask I can definitely see the difference in the morning. My skin is more plump, healthy and good looking. It doesn't irritate ot break me. 
I am very pleased with using it and I continue to do so. This makes me want to try more sleeping mask as it proves that they don't have to be sticky to provide moisture and health to you skin through the night ❤️❤️.

PR - gifted.
