Beauty Tips For Body Care
TLDR: This stuff is magic in a bottle.Hi! I like to lurk around this sub but I'm not a blogger, so this is my first review! Be nice with me. Also, I'm non-native so my english may not be perfect.I decided to share this with you all because it's a new product and I didn't saw many reviews, and I thought it may be useful if you want to try it, or compare it with the TO Emulsion. Either way, here's my review!First, my skin is normal/dry, dehydrated and acne prone. I live in a very dry and hot climate, and my skin concerns are basically acne and dehydration.I ordered this on September 1, it was shipped on 4 and appeared in front of my door the 8. I'm from Spain, if you want to have the reference. Very fast, I was pleased and very excited to try it, so I opened it the same night.The packaging is the same as the other TO products, and even thought I don't like the dropper, I see why it's useful in this product, since other metod would dispense an excesive amount of liquid. The bottle is dark and protects the product from the sun.It was my first time using retinoids, so I was very cautious. I took some photos of my skin, because I like to control the state of my skin. I applied it almost at the end of my routine, just before my moisturizer. Also, I used the tiniest amount I could. I don't think I used more than a drop for my face, I put a bit on my cheeks and forehead.I was expecting an oily texture, but... It was dry. Like an oil, but dry. Difficult to spread, but since I used very little product it might be my fault. It dried fast, but didn't left my face feeling unconfortable or tight. It just absorbed. I'm happy with this, since I use a lot of products at night and I was left with zero residue, so I'd recommend this to people with extensive routines or that doesn't need extra hydration.I left it "dry" for 5 minutes and I applied my moisturizer, then went to sleep. Nothing crazy.Today I woke up and I thought that my skin was nicer than yesterday, but I was like "nah, just placebo effect, my skin is the same". But I wasn't sure. Because I'm not the kind of person that relies on subjective opinions, I decided to take a photo of my skin and compare with the ones that I took yesterday.Jugde on your own:(http://imgur.com/a/zdvgU) (https://imgur.com/A0DNLph)I just... can't believe it. I used a ridiculous amount, so I wasn't expecting this kind of reaction. I honestly can't understand how my skin improved so much in just a couple of hours. My pimples are flat and not as red as before, and the tiniest ones did dissapear. I swear that my skin is smoother, even my partner said that I looked better this morning.Do I recommend this? Absolutely. I didn't try the Emulsion, but it seems like is more moisturizing. I thought this was an oil, but is a very light liquid that's suitable for oily skin, or people with a lot of steps that doesn't want to overload their skin.I hope this was useful for you all! I'll put my routine down here, if you're curious about it. I'll answer any question about the retinoid or other products of my routine on the comments!AM:Cleanser: Cosrx Good morning low pH cleanserToner/FTE: Mizon skin power first essenceMoisturizer: Skinfood Royal Honey Good moisturizing CreamSunscreen: LRP Anthelios confort cream, or Innisfree Perfect UV protection Triple carePM:(Garnier Micellar water (pink one) if I was wearing makeup)Cleanser: Cosrx Good morning low pH cleanserToner: Lush Tea tree tonerSpot treatment for acne: Lush Grease lightningToner/FTE: Mizon skin power first essenceAmpoule/essence: Scinic Honey AIO AmpouleSerum?: The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid 2%Moisturizer: Skinfood Royal Honey Good moisturizing CreamWeekly: Lush Mask of Magnaminty and Papa Recipe Bombee Whitening Honey sheetmask, if I feel like I need extra exfoliation/hydration.
