as the title says, ive been using french skin care and now switching to korean, i have extremely oily but dehydrated skin thats acne prone and has post pimple marks (brown/red), i suffer from black heads on the nose and chin that i usually extract with the tool and i have white heads on my chin under my lips.

i made research and found out that this haru haru cleanser is good bcz it doesnt strip away the natural oils, i used to use la roche posay cleanser which imo does an amazing job at cleaning my face but it makes my skin so dry after.

as a moisturizer my friend swore by 345 and i got the mist so i can bring out with me outside and use during the day especially in winter.

i suffer from skin oxidation hence the vitamin c and the dark spot serum for the brown/red acne marks. im currently leaving vitamin c after i finish abib serum i dont know why but i feel like using both is too much haha. am i being too careful?

the clay mask for exfoliation twice a week.

now what im afraid of is that people said to not use the 345 daily and i was planning to use it on both my pm and am routine so its twice a day. what do you recommend? and for vitamin c its twice a week, the abib serum daily, the cleanser everyday twice a day and toner too. what do you guys think? should i get different stuff to differentiate my pm and am routine? im usually a person that swears by not using alot of different products at once so i thought these would do the job.

oh and for sunscreen i use the eucerin one! thank you.

I have super sensitive skin and was looking for a serum which would be gentle and this seems to have pretty good reviews and I haven’t seen a negative review yet. I know it’s 20% but the formulation of it makes it seem promising. But I was wondering if anyone with really sensitive skin has found this serum harsh. My skin is so sensitive I had redness after using the beauty of joseon sunscreen and I never saw any bad reviews of that :(. I also tried another vitamin c serum with niacinamide in it and it gave the same redness so it this worth buying and taking a risk?

So I’m about to explore the wonders of playing around with my skin barrier. I actually started last night with Hydroquinone and Azelaic Acid. Tonight will be Tretinoin.
Last night I was expecting a tingling sensation because of the azelaic acid according to what I’ve read, but I felt nothing. I’ve been using the Skin1004 azelaic acid ampoule for about a month and decided to keep it in my morning routine. The prescription strength will only be for nighttime. I have been using tretinoin for about three months, but 1 to 2 times a week. The doctor wants me to use it nightly and I don’t know about that. I’ll do it my way when it comes to protecting my skin barrier. But just thought I’d share here. Me: acne prone sensitive oily skin. Currently using all this to help with dark spots and melasma, and of course the occasional acne.

I received the wrong package from yesstyle. I emailed them and they told me to keep it. If this is your order im sorry. I rate it 8.9/10 :b

Do I need these? 🙅🏻‍♀️

Do I want to try these? 🙋🏻‍♀️

Am I still waiting on my most recent order to arrive? 🙇🏻‍♀️

In this economy, should I be spending ANY money? Not unless I can drive it, eat it, or sleep in it. 🧏🏻‍♀️

So, tell me why these products suck! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Iunik Beta-Glucan Barrier Sunscreen

Me: dry, "mature", reactive skin (and eyes). Dry, hot climate.

Am weird about how things feel on my skin. I don't want to see or feel anything I put on my face.

Don't want to know you're wearing sunscreen? THIS. IS. FOR. YOU.

Highlights:

• feels like a silky, plush, PM moisturizer going on
• despite richness, feels like absolutely *nothing* is on my face
• no glow, no matte, face looks and feels naked
• zero sting to skin or eyes
• didn't make face sweat on a long, hot walk
• nearly unscented (maybe a very distant hint of... oatmeal?)

This stuff is so un-suncreen-y, I'd be excited to use it as a straight up moisturizer. Can't speak to oily skin or humidity, but maybe keep in mind for winter months?

I can link to face pic if want to see finish but it's just... nothing!

Still have two more SPFs to test out but this is hard to beat.

I have EXTREMELY sensitive eyes, many people suggest to just switch to mineral ones, but I tried it before and they irritate my eyes even more.

My favorite sunscreens so far have been skin 1004 Water-Fit Sun Serum, but on some days, it can still irritate my eyes, I thought that it might be due to niacinamide in it.

I know that old BOJ Relief Sun Rice Probiotics irritated some people, have any of you experienced irritation from the new Relief Sun Aqua - Fresh?
I am looking to purchasing it, as it has no niacinamide and contains panthenol, which my skin loves (also I am just a rice fun, for some reason, I can't resist a product that has rice in it).

Hey everyone!

I've been using the Skin1004 Centella Cleansing Oil for a few months now, its my first time double cleansing or using an oil cleanser.

I'd would describe myself as having oily skin, and was prone to white heads and red angry breakouts on my cheeks and undereyes. Then the white heads went away and instead large closed condomes/blackheads popped up, which closely just became blackheads

I wanted to see if I could improve it so I brought other skin1004 products. I stopped using my CeraVe Hydrating cleanser and began using Centella Ampoule Foam cleanser. I always felt that i had to excessively wash my face after using it or else my face felt tacky. I didnt notice a positive or negative difference for about a month when my pores became bigger and now I have blackheads everywhere!

I've stopped using the foam cleanser but the black heads are persistent, by the end of the day my chin, forehead, nose and cheeks are covered. I feel so embarrassed 😭

Does anyone have any advise? I'm desperate

The Skin Aqua Tone Up UV Essence used to be one of my holy grail sunscreens (both the violet and the green). It felt nearly weightless on the skin, left a healthy glow, and didn’t sting my eyes.

I just tried out the reformulation (on the right) and I have to say it’s a major downgrade. It leaves a heavy film on my face, even after it dries down, and if I touch my face, the pigment transfers to my hand. It’s incredibly hard to rub in and gets caked on dry patches I didn’t even know I had. It feels more akin to other tone up sunscreens. With the old formula, it felt like more of a very light brightening effect (although I do have a fair skin tone). Has anyone else tried the new formulation?

I have tiny comedones & clogged pores with a dehydrated to combination skin type. My skin can feel slightly itchy in some areas like cheekbones & chin sometimes. I can wake up looking greasy & dehydrated. I have uneven skintone & alot of texture & sometimes grease on my forehead. On my cheeks I have those tiny bumps that look like clogged pores & I have some slight small post-acne marks. My nose pores can feel rough & sometimes look greasy. I have a rough upper lip. I’m sensitive to strong cleansers & exfoliating acids (e.g BHA & Benzoyl Peroxide) that can dry out my skin I think I used to have fungal acne back when I was 13 but I’m not sure…
My reason for purchasing each product based on what I’ve researched:

1. Bioderma miceller cleanser, I’ll use it only every night for removing sunscreen/makeup & I’ve heard it’s very gentle compared to other micellar waters & I’ve seen it acne-prone & fungal acne skin routines.

2. Geek & Gorgeous jelly joker cleanser, I’ll use it AM & PM, I heard it’s a gentle low ph cleanser & it’s suitable for fungal acne & it cleanses properly without stripping but I’ve seen people say it’s not the best for removing sunscreen & I’m not sure about removing makeup.

3. I’m not sure if I should use retinoid because im sensitive & 19, which is why the Geek & Gorgeous cheer up exfoliator stood out to me since it has 5% mandelic acid which is considered gentle & can help with texture, post-acne marks & bacteria from pores & it has 1% BHA that can help with my comedones & congested clogged pores. I’ll use it 2x a week.

4. Skin1004 centella ampoule, I heard I’m supposed to put an ampoule before serums, & I chose this specific one because I heard it’s lightweight & saw it has 100% centella, so basically it’s just something soothing to calm my skin barrier, especially after exfoliating.

5. IUNIK Beta-Glucan serum, I’ve used it before & I found it feeling thick & leaving a film despite seeing claims it’s lightweight, which is why I stopped using it because I didn’t like the thick feeling, but I’m re-adding it back into my routine because I need a plumping hydration serum & this one seems to work best since Beta-Glucan is a very hydrating ingredient, & back when I was using it - my skin was clearer compared to now.

6. Purito oat in calming gel cream, I’m seeing claims it’s lightweight & hydrating enough for sensitive acne-prone skin & it won’t clog pores. I’ve seen it many fungal acne skin routines. I’m
   hoping it works as a makeup base too.

7. Skin1004 centella sunscreen, I was going to choose the COSRX ultra light sunscreen over this one because that one seemed to have claims of absorbing faster & feeling lighter, but after seeing a review that it peels under makeup because it has silicones & doesn’t work with water-based foundations, I had to let it go. I heard this one is soothing & looks dewy & works under makeup. I’ve seen it in many fungal acne skin routines.

What do you think about my routine, is it worth the purchase??? If you have better recommendations then please suggest.
