I use this every night and this perfectly calms my skin irritations and prevents my eczema monster flareups from showing up. This nourishes, softens, moisturizes, and soothes my skin so perfectly that I notice a huge difference when I don’t use this!

There is a soapy scent but it doesn’t bother me that much!

This cleanser ticked off everything I look for in a gentle cleanser. It has an amazing cleansing ability, it doesn’t leave the skin tight nor dry, and it leaves the skin feeling soft, smooth, and plump after! But best of all, it’s suitable for sensitive skin! I have been using this every night and I have never experienced any form of irritation with this. This does have a distinct soapy smell (maybe from the quinoa) and a lot of people might be put off about it, but it doesn’t really bother me that much.

If you’re a first time retinol user, The Ordinary suggests to start with lower percentages and work your way up because retinol can be very irritating!

I love vit A, and I finally upped my retinol game to 1% from 0.2%! Initially was really scared about the irritation, but surprisingly no irritations at all. No peeling, no flaking, no itchiness, despite having sensitive skin. But a big factor I’m sure of is because I’ve been using retinol for more than a year now that my skin has gotten used to it, so it can take in higher percentages better. But love this, retinol is definitely something that’s always gonna be in my routine 🤍

The first time I used this, my goodness, I fell in love with it immediately. It looks thick and initially feels thick but once spread out, my skin absorbs it without feeling heavy. It also leaves my skin with a good shine, not the greasy one but more like a semi-matte finish with a good glow. I use this as my evening moisturizer because I usually get red blotches when I wake up the next morning and this has been helping calm my skin down. I wake up to less irritations and even less eczema flareups. My sensitive skin loves this especially that this heals my skin faster every time it’s irritated. This easily became a staple in my routine as it is also affordable and very accessible! ⠀

I am IN LOVE with this! It applies really nicely, spreads easily, and absorbs quickly into the skin without any greasy feeling at all. It literally feels so lightweight you can’t even tell that you have sunscreen on! 🤯 It comes out white from the tube and has a creamy texture but it leaves no white cast behind, making it great for every skin tone! Despite being a water-based sunscreen, this doesn’t make me look overly dewy or oily unlike other chemical sunscreens where they tend to make you look very shiny and oily. This simply makes you look naturally hydrated with a semi-matte finish!
