My Instagram 1k GIVEAWAY!

To all of my experienced Picky reviewers!

I just received my Abib giveaway goodies in the mail that included all of the sheet masks and essences.

Given that our reviews for these essences are due on April 20th, I'm at a loss on how to add these to my current skincare routine and be able to use each of them before the reviews are due.

Any suggestions?

This retinol is good for first timers and can be incorporated into the skincare routine as a preventive measure. But if you&#39;re older, you might need a higher percentage of retinol.

This was a great starter retinol for anyone who is starting to incorporate retinol into their routine. It&#39;s encapsulated retinol which means it is formulated with other ingredients that helps mitigate the strong affects from pure retinol. It has a nice creamy texture and it feels moisturizing. There is only minimal stinging the first time you try this but I suggest following up with niacinamide to alleviate any irritation or redness. Your skin will be adjusted to the retinol in time.

I would suggest to remove the fragrance from these products. It is unnecessary and they exclude people who have sensitivity to fragrance.

This cream is not your average-looking cream. The texture is blue, transparent and has a jelly appearance to it.
 Very light-weight and spreads nicely onto my skin. It provides some hydration, but I find myself needing additional moisture throughout the day.  This may be a surprise, but I was fond of the scent
despite my stance on fragrance in skincare.
I was struggling with painful acne on different parts of my face and noticed after using these products that my acne reduced in discomfort and redness. These recent products improved significantly in formulation compared to their predecessors.

The applicator ball doesn&#39;t release a lot of product when you squeeze the bottle. I had it once where I squeezed the bottle too hard and the ball popped out.

This works like magic! You apply it over your dark spots and acne scars and when you check your face the next day, a lot of the dark spots are diminished or completely gone. Apply this everyday!

It has a slight white-cast on my darker skin tone, but once I spread it out evenly on my face, it blends into my skin. There can be a bit of pilling as well, but not a deal breaker.

It has your 3 main ceramides that keep your skin hydrated throughout the day and your SPF 30. The cream is fairly thick compared to its PM counterpart, due to the SPF formulated into it. But it&#39;s smooth and spreads evenly on your skin.

It doesn&#39;t blend into your skin all that well. The patch sticks out. In addition to it sticking to your skin well, it might stick too well. It can be difficult to remove the patch with having it tug and pull at your skin.

These work really well on my blemishes skin! You should wait until your pimple had a whitehead in order for these patches to be effective. It sticks well onto your pimple and it also helps stop you from picking at it!
