Six month empties check in! The link to my spreadsheet where I maintain my collection is above. The first three sections are empty/ gone from the collection, and are labeled as such. Below the "COLLECTION" banner, is my entire makeup collection, including the products that have been emptied or destashed.
Some things to note before we dive in:
I failed to keep some items, so there are a couple of gaps from the spreadsheet to the photos. Specifically, the Smashbox eye primer, I failed to keep, so for the purpose of the photos, used my full bottle.
A couple of dates might look odd-- specifically, finishing two highlighters within a day of each other. I was using them both simultaneously, topping Opal with Pearl. If any other dates look odd, this is usually the case. I’ve only recently begun trying to use a product from start to finish, compared to flitting between products as I felt like doing so.

Ok, so firstly, do better than I have and remind yourself not to do this again! It's always worth just waiting for pimples to heal on their own, and if you absolutely cannot (like me), lance them with a sterile needle (insulin needles are cheap and sterile), and put a hydrocolloid bandage over until it gets everything out.
Ok, so with prevention out of the way, my #1 product in this situation is snail based products. Snail mucin is one of the few ingredients that's been clinically shown to help repair skin (admittedly not extensively, but in my personal experience, it does help). This is the one I get. In lieu of that, keep them clean, but not overdried. Moisture can help prevent and reduce scarring. I recommend a lotion with HA since it has the potential to help PIE clear up more quickly. I like CeraVe's HA+ceramides lotion.
Hang in there, we've all been there.
Ugh! These marks are so frustrating, aren't they? Acne is crappy enough, but then I get these red marks and they take forever to go away. It's totally unfair, and I empathize with you. Luckily, I actually do have some advice! Now, these products aren't miracle workers, and it didn't cure my spots overnight. However, I have found my recovery time has been shorter.
Good luck with your skin! I've been going through a bad breakout right now which is leaving new red marks on my skin, so I'd love to think that this sucky experience might help someone else even just a little.
Edit: I was reading some of the other comments, and I just want to second the sunscreen comment. Super important!
I forgot to mention that Mizon and Shiseido Senka were 2-packs!
Mizon is actually selling for that price ($8/2) right now for anyone interested! Senka is also now cheaper. You can also use camelcamelcamel or the honey chrome extension to monitor prices.
I have both aging concerns (I'm 39) and breakout prone skin and early this year I started implementing a skincare routine with mostly Korean products and it has helped tremendously (thanks r/asianbeauty!) Prior to this the ONLY moisturizer I'd ever found that did not break me out in cystic spots was the Clinique DDM gel moisturizer which isn't really very moisturizing.
With the k-beauty stuff I added BHA and AHA which helps with both acne and aging.
Another important thing to consider is PH. High PH cleansers like your Neutrogena scrub or Cetaphil are really not good for your skin. Some great low PH cleansers are Cerave foaming cleanser (not Korean/Asian), Su:m 37 Miracle Rose Cleansing Stick ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00EIMU3NU/ref=sxts2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1482935590&sr=2 ) and Hado Labo Gokujyn Cleansing Foam ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0036MDUEM/ref=sxts1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1482935590&sr=1 )
My current routine is:

(Then wait 20 minutes)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00ATLVNIS/ref=mp_s_a_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1482936487&sr=8-2&keywords=missha+time+revolution
None of these products has broken me out. Since you are younger you might not feel the need for the anti-aging products I use (but it's never too early to start!)
As far as makeup: day-to-day I use powder foundation (Dermablend Intense Powder Camo) but for special occasions I use Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation, it's the only full coverage liquid foundation that I have found that doesn't give me cystic spots OR totally break up on my nose from oil. It's pricey but a little goes a long way.
HTH! Good luck!
How much are you paying for Mizon? That brand is pretty cheap in my experience. CosRX has a similar snail cream, but I'd expect both to be around the same price point.
If you want the cheapest of the cheap you could go for the snail repair gel in the pink tube. Mizon's black snail AIO tends to be a little cheaper than the regular AIO; it has kind of an old lady smell, but I find it to be extremely soothing and still use it because I haven't found another product that works quite as well for immediately calming irritated skin.
If you're willing to move away from snail products, I've heard good things about the Rosette Aqua Ceramide gel and the Hatomugi Skin Conditioning Gel.
All the steps you're taking are in the right direction, but let's talk about product recommendations. You should start off with a basic skincare routine.
Cleanser: Cosrx Low Ph Morning Gel Cleanser - A good cult favorite, gentle cleanser.
Toner- Stri-dex Pads Maximum Strength - I have yet to find anything else that keeps my acne at bay as well as these do, holy grail status.
Moisturizer- [Mizon Snail Recovery Gel Cream] (https://www.amazon.com/MIZON-Snail-Recovery-Cream-fl-oz/dp/B00NTR9B6A/ref=pd_sbs_194_49?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00NTR9B6A&pd_rd_r=GQARJSYA37GYHK6DDA84&pd_rd_w=xTj7a&pd_rd_wg=Anz1Z&psc=1&refRID=GQARJSYA37GYHK6DDA84) - This will moisturize and take care of acne scars.
Additionally, what helps me is to exfoliate twice a week, and I use Skinfood Black Sugar Mask Wash Off Exfoliator.
I would suggest wearing sunscreen, though this step isn't specifically to help your acne, it's just good to protect the skin from premature aging and hyperpigmentation. Assuming you have combo to oily skin I would recommend Etude House Airy Finish Sun Milk.
I hope this helps - here is a link to Hellocos's listing for Mizon Snail Gel Cream. Scroll down a ways and the discounts are listed under "special offer" https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NTR9B6A/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1PDWBZRML2LBW
Hello everyone! I was in the market for a lightweight gel type moisturizer as summer approaches. Heard lots of good things about the Mizon Snail Gel Recovery Gel Cream in the pink tube. Peach & Lily is sold out of it at the moment - does anyone know if this seller on Amazon is legitimate or has had experience with them? Their store is called "Mod My Beauty". Their price for a two pack is so reasonable it makes me raise an eyebrow but I am new to the AB game.
Thank you all for any insight!
I have Hashimoto's and really dry skin (my scalp is horrible, too). The digestive issues could be a factor, if you're not really absorbing nutrients properly. Paleo is good for you, in-general, but I think it moreso works with "clearing up" skin, like with acne, rosacea, and so-on. I recently started getting into Asian skincare, as they focus on lots of light layers of hydration. My skin used to scale and flake, but now it's nice and soft!
I use a low PH face wash only once a day. Too much cleansing can rid your skin of it's natural oils. I swap between this Cerave cleanser and this Hada Labo one. Then I use this lotion (which is more of like a serum) and this gel moisturizer.
I'd suggest reading into the science behind humectants, occlusives, and emollients. Example, you can use a lotion, but if it doesn't have any type of occlusive ingredients, the product and all the moisture will just evaporate/dissipate; it needs something to seal it in. And as much as Asian skincare seems like a million steps, you can really work with just 3 or so products.

This is the one that I ordered, which I think I originally saw linked in a random text thread here on MUA as well, lol. I hope you see results with it! :)
Hi! I suffered from oily sensitive skin problems too before! Here's the routine I followed and I noticed a big difference:
Face Wash (2 times a day): I used simple korean face washes and these worked wonders for me! You can find really cheap face washes at Marshalls/TJ Maxx or at Amazon. Here's a good brand: https://www.amazon.com/Etude-House-Baking-Powder-Cleansing/dp/B00819F4OO/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1520014584&sr=8-1&keywords=korean+baking+soda+face+wash
Toner (2 times a day): SUPER IMPORTANT! I used alcohol free which is super important if you have sensitive skin. I highly recommend this toner I still use it to this day and my skin has calmed a lot and become so soft. You can get this on amazon or any local stores really like Sprouts or even Marshalls TJ Maxx. Link: https://www.amazon.com/Thayers-Alcohol-Free-Petal-Witch-Hazel/dp/B007HD570Q/ref=sr_1_3_s_it?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1520014674&sr=1-3&keywords=thayers
Moisturize (2 times a day): I know it seems weird to moisturize an oily face but trust me its needed. Sometimes your skin might be super oily since its not receiving enough moisture and thus overcompensates by producing a bunch of oil (I've heard this before I'm not a doctor though). You just can't use super creamy moisturizers. This is my go to really light moisturizer. I prefer gel moisturizers since they don't feel as heavy on my face and provide a good balance to my skin. Link: https://www.amazon.com/MIZON-Snail-Recovery-Cream-Count/dp/B00NTR9B6A/ref=sr_1_6_s_it?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1520014798&sr=1-6&keywords=mizon+snail
Face Mask (once or twice a week): Since you have sensitive skin I don't recommend using Charcoal as it might be too harsh. I instead use any exfoilating (or non exfoliating) masks with tumeric. It's a great anti inflammatory perfect for sensitive skin. I use this one personally: https://www.amazon.com/YLLO-Turmeric-Scrub-Chickpea-Exfoliant/dp/B0764M4MWT/ref=sr_1_13_sspa?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1520014932&sr=1-13-spons&keywords=tumeric+mask&psc=1
Again you just have to experiment with what works best for your skin. It's a difficult process but I'm sure you'll find a way. Sorry for the really long post but I hope this helps! :)
The Mizon Snail Recovery Gel is the ultimate gateway snail product. It's a gel moisturizer so it's not too heavy for oily skin either
Actually no, the most common one people use is less than $10 on Amazon :)
edit: the link in my comment is actually for a pack of 2, if you only want 1 it's even cheaper.
I'm so tempted by the Mizon Black Snail AIO Cream because I can't stop seeing recommendations for it! But I've also been looking at the Mizon Snail Recovery Gel Cream because it's even more affordable. Thoughts?
$9.49 on Amazon with Prime. :)
[MIZON] Snail Recovery Gel Cream 45ml (1.52 fl.oz.) Pack of 2 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NTR9B6A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_xb3XxbHJX918Y
I was about to recommend Clinique Dramatically Different Gel when I saw the title.
You can stop by Clinique counter at any major mall and ask for a sample, I think they'll be more than happy to give you. I asked for a sample before I bought the whole bottle, which btw lasts for a reaaaally long time. I got mine August last year and I still have 1/3 of the bottle left.
Anyways, your best bet would be gel moisturizers since they absorb better and tend to less greasy. A couple recommendations I have in mind:
I don't know if you're familiar with sleeping pack (like this one) or not. If you're not, you should give it a try. One perk of it is that you only need to use it once at night (before you go to bed and leave it on all night) and it's supposed to moisture your skin for the following day.
This! Two tubes of Mizon Snail Recovery Gel Cream for 9.99~
Looks like Amazon.com itself is out of stock and only third-party sellers have it available. You can set a price alert here to be notified when the price goes below a given threshold.
I haven't heard of the BHA-claymask-Oil cleanse method. I actually don't have much need to oil cleanse, as I don't wear makeup or sunscreen (Bad girl! BAD!) and the Good Morning Cleanser works as both a 1st and 2nd cleanser (2 in 1 bonus! Score!). I am working to get better with the sunscreen, but only just got in my first 2 this week.
The blackhead liquid does kinda sit on my skin, but I feel like that's kinda what it's supposed to do - soften the oil plugs so my AHA can be more effective. That's also why I cleanse again after using it.
I do use (and love) kaolin clay and masks. The Body Shop Tea Tree 3-in-1 cleanse/scrub/mask I mentioned before is one of my HGs. I use it while in the shower about once a week: scrub it on, let it sit while I wash the rest of me (it does have a strong tea tree smell and gets tingly on your skin, but I like that) then scrub it a little more before washing it off. After getting out of the shower, I use the pH adjusting toner, then add my BHA liquid and let it sit. I will admit, I have no idea what the pH of this product is, and don't have a way to test it myself. I find that after this routine (Body Shop TT 3-in-1 or the GM cleanser, BHA, AHA, warm water scrub) my blackheads and SFs are drastically reduced. It was actually pretty shocking to me the first time I did it - I was looking in the mirror going, The pores on my nose are gone!!! lol
I can't really tell you what to get - Sorry! But getting the Green Tea samples is definitely worth it, as if you don't like it, you're not out very much $. Fortunately, both the Mizon Snail and TonyMoly Green Tea are pretty cheap. The Snail comes in a 2-pack on Amazon for $17, or one for $11. The Green Tea samples linked above are super cheap (<$2), and the full size is only $13 on YesStyle or RRS.
Like with most K-beauty products, a little goes a long way with both.
if you live in a dryer environment (or your skin is crazy dehydrated and thirsty like mine!), maybe go for both, or maybe try the Green Tea in the Skin or Essence. I can't choose between the two because they do different things - The Green Tea is plumping and hydrating, and the Snail is pigment-reducing and healing (and occlusive, but not greasy).
Sorry, I blabber on...

moisturizer -- Mizon Snail Recovery Cream Do you think this will be a good replacement for Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion?
BHA -- BHA Blackhead Power Liquid I want to get a BHA for my sebaceous filaments, do you think this is a good one to try?
I HIGHLY recommend [Mizon Snail Recovery Gel Cream]([MIZON] Snail Recovery Gel Cream 45ml (1.52 fl.oz.) Pack of 2 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NTR9B6A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_B5ksybXT6G127) I use it on scars and pre scars all the time. It's amazing.
It's $10 for two bottles on Amazon right now with free one day shipping if you have prime. Hoping I'll have more luck by cutting back on the acids and trying this out!

This isn't really my core 4, it's just what I'm using right now... I have a backlog of products that I need to use. This also doesn't include my serums, sheet masks, exfoliants, etc either. I don't think I'm following the core 4 at all... LOL
I am very certain that you have dehydrated skin. Not the same as dry skin, though you may have that, too. Tight feeling skin, getting very oily very quickly, redness. Oily and dry at the same time. Your moisture barrier has been compromised. This will take time and patience to repair, but believe me, it is worth it. I once had very similar skin.
Fair warning, I myself use a mostly AB routine, and my product suggestions will reflect that.
Find a simple low pH cleanser. I like this one because it's cheap, easy to find, and lasts forever. Cleanse twice daily, with tepid water.
(I am a fan of the double cleansing method when wearing foundation and/or sunscreen. You can learn more about that here.)
Then I would work on finding light hydration that doesn't break you out. I have found that my skin absolutely loves multiple layers of light hydration. And that was key to restoring my barrier. Just putting one thick heavy layer didn't work because my skin couldn't/wouldn't do anything with it. But multiple light layers was something my skin could work with.
This, this, this, this, and this are all super suggestions. Pretty simple, basic, and gentle choices. No, you don't need to go buy all of them. Try one. See how your skin likes it after several weeks. Maybe add another. Or, some people like adding multiple layers of the same product.
Then find a humectant to layer on top, to seal moisture in. This is a very popular one. This, this, this, and this are all good choices.
Once you find a routine that your skin seems to like, stick with it for a few months. Like...3 to 6 months. It won't be an immediate fix. But over time you'll start to notice less of the tight feeling, less of the dry thin skin with an oil slick on top, less redness. Only then will you be able to see what your real skin type is. Maybe you start to see more dryness or flakiness, and the oil slick goes away. Then maybe you have drier skin. Or maybe the tight and dry feeling goes away but the oiliness stays. Then maybe you have oily skin. But until you heal your moisture barrier, nothing you throw at your skin will do any good.
I have erythematotelangiectatic rosacea with a papule or two every month. My cheeks are covered in permanent telangiectasias, but I don't mind them because I can cover it with makeup easily. I've had them since I was a kid. Occasionally I get a small papule or two
My nose has worsened over the last 5 years. I have no telangiectasias but my whole nose up to the bridge has diffuse erythema. Above the bridge of my nose has some redness too, leaving the bridge of my nose white... The redness goes away if I press on my nose (it blanches - not permanent). It is difficult to keep makeup on my nose throughout the day without it coming off. This is the most annoying thing about rosacea for me.
My forehead has patches of eczema either side that I've had success treating with elidel (pimecrolimus cream) and a better skincare routine. I have rosacea in the middle of my forehead. Easy to cover with makeup.
I've tried metrogel and finacea, both without effect. Finacea just hurts my skin. I'm taking 50mg doxycycline capsules and I thought they were working, but then I forgot for a while. It's difficult to tell. Rosacea is difficult to control, unfortunately.
___
I currently use the following of an evening:
In the morning I gently wash the set slippery layers off with water and apply:
I take a resveratrol capsule every day to combat sirtuin inhibition caused by niacinamide.
I've been following this routine for four months and my skin has improved a lot in terms of texture. The flaky patches went away and the eczema almost completely disappeared with occasional maintenance use of elidel and just generally looking after my skin. The rosacea erythema has stayed the same, but I have developed fewer papules. Hopefully, if I can remember to take the doxycycline, the redness of my nose may also improve.
Have you tried gel-based moistuirizers? I hate how heavy cream feels on my face cause I have oily skin so I only ever wear gel moisturizers. Garnier's Moisture for normal/combo skin was pretty good for me, but I've started using more AB products now, such as Mizon Snail Recovery Gel. Check out oily skin moisturizer recommendations over at /r/AsianBeauty. Also, YMMV but alcohol is actually my friend. Alcohol in my moisturizers help control oil productions. What works for me may not work for you though! Remember to patch test whenever you're trying something new.
Maybe your cleanser is too stripping and your skin is overcompensating by producing excess oil. Do you double cleanse? What cleanser do you use? I use a mild cleanser in the morning and double cleanse only in the evening.
Innisfree no sebum mineral powder is a really good oil-control powder btw! I love that stuff. My face feels so smooth after.
Hope this helps!
this is garbage we deal with in canada lol https://www.amazon.ca/MIZON-Snail-Recovery-Cream-fl-oz/dp/B00NTR9B6A/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1472738718&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=mizon
Some fairly inexpensive but widely raved about products you could try (No affiliate link or anything)
Omg! Def cross post to r/Asianbeauty, they may know of some awesome products you can buy over there. Mostly Korean products, but you likely can buy them there. I use a Japanese oil cleanser called Kose (the brand) softy mo oil cleanser. I swear my skin drinks it. And it melts makeup away.
You can order any of these on amazon though!
https://www.amazon.com/KOSE-Softy-Deep-Treatment-Pound/dp/B000V2FB88

Edit: def do some research on ingredients that work for or upset your skin. I can't guarantee these will be good for you, but my skin looked similar to that for my entire life and these products have completely changed my complexion.
I also swear by the Mizon snail moisturizer
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00NTR9B6A/ref=pd_aw_sim_194_3?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;refRID=G404GDCA9SYR50YF08RJ&amp;dpPl=1&amp;dpID=61uEslCG8VL
I've started only showering every other day. But I make sure to moisturize my face morning and night. I know my showers are causing a lot of the irritation. I use a wet cloth to wash up on non shower days.
I'm using an Asian skincare routine on my face, it has made a big difference. But you don't have time to start one in 1 week, you don't know how you will react to products in that short period of time.
If your skin is angry in the morning, is that when you shower? If you are getting irritated from your moisturizer, you may want to switch. The open sores are going to sting, but it shouldn't "become swollen/inflamed/very red". It sounds like you may be reacting to one of the ingredients in your moisturizer. I don't know if 1 week is enough time to find another one, because you don't know which ingredient is setting you off.
This is what I use, I know it sounds gross but it is very light and absorbs immediately and feels amazing. MIZON Black Snail All In One Cream, 2.40 Ounce
I picked this up to use next because I was annoyed at dipping my hand into a jar. MIZON Snail Recovery Gel Cream 45ml 1.52 fl.oz. Pack of 2
Do you know if your skin tolerates snail? The first AB product that I ordered was Mizon Snail Recovery Gel and I'll probably have it on hand forever. I have acne and dry skin during the winter and this has been a great product for me. It's very light but very moisturizing. If one layer isn't enough, you can always do a second, but I rarely need to.
I basically order everything off of Amazon. Here's the link to the Snail Gel
Did I receive counterfeit Mizon Snail Recovery Gel Cream from Amazon? I bought [this listing] from [this seller].
There are a few things tipping me off: firstly, the packaging says 80% of snail secretion filtrate, not 74% like official images say; secondly, there was no silver sticker whatsoever on either of the boxes; thirdly, the product smells vaguely fermented alcohol-y (kinda like hard cider); and lastly, the tube-top has rounded corners, whereas every picture I've seen of the legitimate product has a straight edge.
[Pictures here.]
So: have I been duped? And if so, what do I do from here? :(
Hi there!
Usually gel creams come in the jar container, but I did find this one in a squeeze container that has great reviews on amazon!

Hope it helps!
Also has anyone purchased the Mizon Snail Recovery Gel Cream from this person?

I'm super wary of fakes. It seems like a great deal!
wet your hands before you use any kind of cream and look into a lotion that's less thick/greasy. Here's a good, economical option: https://www.amazon.com/MIZON-Snail-Recovery-Cream-fl-oz/dp/B00NTR9B6A/ref=sr_1_6_s_it?s=beauty&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1503449611&amp;sr=1-6&amp;keywords=mizon
Snail-bee is a bit too much for me, I think. You can get the Snail recovery Gel for 2 for ~$12 so it's the one most often recommended.
It's definitely not moisturizing enough, even for me, but it works as a nice "sealer" at night time. Plus since it's so cheap I can SLATHER my face in it and not feel guilty.
Edit: Also!! Tracy at fanserviced-b has oily skin, so her reviews might help you more than others.
Also, which one is it:
OH, and your post just reminded me I totally have a tube of the Mizon Snail Recovery Gel that someone once posted about on here. Might try that over my nighttime Pond's...
Sorry for the late reply! Like the poster above, I get my Mizon products from Amazon as well. IIRC, Amazon usually sells a 2 pack of the Recovery gel for super cheap. Today it's $9.85 for a 2 pack with free shipping. https://www.amazon.com/MIZON-Snail-Recovery-Cream-fl-oz/dp/B00NTR9B6A/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_194_lp_t_3?_encoding=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;refRID=AD436SX26PFQP0VDQZR4
I really enjoy Belif's line of moisturizers, specifically their Aqua Bomb . A little pricy, but it's water-based and very comfortable, and I find that a single jar can last me a couple of months with daily and nightly application.
For a cheaper alternative, check out Mizon Snail Recovery Gel. I have several guy friends who still use this regularly after asking me for a recommendation.
If it's any help (if doesn't answer your q), but this one: https://www.amazon.com/MIZON-Snail-Recovery-Cream-fl-oz/dp/B00NTR9B6A/ref=pd_bxgy_194_img_2?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;refRID=868R23T69BNDQGY9NXD9 is getting rave reviews on SKA.
It looks like you can get a two-pack for only a dollar more than the one in your link.
I'm just unsure if I want to get into snail products because I don't know how I feel about it. Do they need to put the snails through extra stress to (electric shocks, shaking, etc.) in order to produce more of their excretion?
Recently brought a bunch of new products and wasn't sure if I'm using them in the right order. So I appreciate it if anyone can chime in on if I'm doing it correctly or if I should add anything else to my lineup. My daily routine goes as follow:

Thanks for reading!
No. It's a pink squeeze tube. This one to be exact.
Hey all,
I've been a lurker of this sub for a few months and am finally beginning to incorporate AB products with my fairly extensive green beauty line up. I've been using several Dr. Jart products for the last few years and finally made more AB purchases in the last few days based on extensive research:
I also went a little sheet mask happy at the Honolulu Duty Free Beauty Store on my way home from Hawaii (whoops):
Skin Type: Dry, Sensitive
Country/Climate I'm in: NYC [typically humid AF, cold cold winters]
Top Skin Concern: Anti-Aging (Hello early 30's), Hydration
Current Routine/Products I'm Using:
AM:
PM:
I also have a rotation of balms and masks that I use as necessary:
with propolis extract - Discovered this brand during a long layover at the Atlanta airport. Really amazing products with great, natural ingredients
My biggest concern is anti-aging and the puffy bags under my eyes. My skin also responds beautifully to natural ingredients and has completely changed after incorporating an AHA and Ceramides. Any recommendations on what I can do to better my routine would be very helpful! Really curious what everyone here thinks about the addition of Retinol, Vitamin C or any other hydration steps. How can I best use each product? Am I going in the right order? Help! Thanks :)
Edit:
I can't figure out formatting. Sorry this may be difficult to read.NAILED IT.I have very dehydrated skin and live in the northeast so I have to stay moisturized 24/7. I can see how moisturizers could break down powder/mineral foundation.
Anyway, If it helps, here is what I use in the morning before applying makeup:
Question about the beauty blender since you mentioned it... It can be used with powder foundation?
