[product question] PC 2% BHA gel burning sensation
Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hey guys,I recently purchased PC 2% BHA gel and tried it for the first time. I have patch tested it on my jaw and found nothing out of the ordinary. My skin is fairly chill so I have never had issues with products and have been getting away with just cleansing and moisturizing my skin once a day for years. My only skin concern is hormonal acne (which I don't deal with topically) and some redness under my nostrils (which is fairly recent). My biggest concern is blackheads and/or sebaceous filaments, which is why I purchased the BHA. I also did not expect anything to happen since Ive never dealt with allergic reactions or irritation to products in my life.After trying it out full face I immediately that there was something going on. My face felt hot and some areas were prickly, especially the irritated skin under my nostrils but also parts of my upper cheek area and forehead. This kept going for about 30 minutes and then became less and less (I also fell asleep). This morning I see nothing out of the ordinary going on with my skin. So now im left wondering if this was a reaction to the product (irritation), which is weird since I patch-tested... or just a one time thing that is normal for an active since Ive never used a BHA before and 2% might be a little harsh. It might have been better to go for the 1% first, but everyone on here seemed okay with the 2% and since I was kind of overconfident I thought my skin would be totally fine :(Im kind of scared to put it on again, I was planning to wait at least a week before trying again. What do you guys think, is this a normal reaction for skin dealing with an active for the first time...can I expect this every time or is this not normal and I should stop immediately??edit to clarify: the burning was not bad, it was more that my face felt slightly warm and some areas were prickly for a while (especially the chafed part under the nose) and there was no redness. I just got alarmed since this has never happened before. The warmth subsided after 20-30 minutes and I woke up with no side-effects.

[Skin concerns] my eyelid has a dry, red spot that won't go away but isn't getting worse
Beauty Tips For Body Care
I'm not sure if this is the right place, but this is definitely more of a skin issue than an allergy or something like that issue.My eyelid has a dry, red patch. My eyes themselves are fine, but the red spot kinda swell in a way if I've rubbed the area. I've been trying to clean my makeup off each night, but there's no improvement. I've always used fairly cheap makeup, but have never had an issue before. It's not very noticeable when I'm wearing eyeshadow over it. How do I fix this?Help

[Acne] The best way to get rid of acne on ya booty?
Beauty Tips For Body Care
I've always had a ton of red bumps, some with little white heads, on my booty and I've never done much to get rid of them, but lately they've gotten to be a bit irritating and considerably unsightly. I looked up what the source could be and wasn't entirely sure what the culprit was. I don't sweat down there ever. I wear boxer briefs, but they're generally pretty loose. And I don't exactly have a dry skin problem and I drink tons of water. I just use a pretty generic Dove body wash and scrub pretty thoroughly.I'm not exactly sure the best route to take to get rid of them, so I figured I'd consult you all for help!

[Review] Ordinary quick reviews- Niacinamide; Vit C; Hyaluronic. Sorry in advance if you are sick of seeing this brand.
Beauty Tips For Body Care
Niacinamide+ Zinc: My skin always acts up when I ease up on exfoliants but also constantly using them dehydrates my skin/keeps it slightly greasy and irritated with large pores. Using this serum has given me the smoothest and calmest skin I've had in years. No active pimples, can now get away without using base products/concealer after 3 weeks. Brightens a bit maybe, but mostly calms and heals and has reduced pore size either directly or indirectly through my skin being less dehydrated.Vit C: 3 days of use at night without using the niacinamide serum- no significant results, no irritation; this smells exactly like ren's flash 1 minute facial (copper?) and if I pat it in it melts in without abrading at all. My skin looks brighter? No idea if this is aiding this or not, though. I have Drunk Elephant's C serum and I think I prefer the application and smell and feel (DE's left a film) of this- unsure of results yet. Obviously that C serum had way more going into it's formula so it isn't a dupe, but if vitamin C is what you're after... you have so much sandwich money.Hyaluronic+B : layer under the niacinamide; seems to be nice and hydrating and basic. Less dryness/dehydration than when I leave it out.these little reviews were not descriptive at all as I think everyone is taking about them constantly BUT basically all three seem to be basic and straightforward and I've really loved using the Niacinamide as my skin is super clear WITHOUT ACIDS and without irritation and dehydration! It also may be directly responsible for smaller seeming pores and less oily skin; or, my skin is less aggravated and dehydrated so those effects are seen.Let me know if you have any questions/if you have anything to add after trying them or other brands with similar products!

[Product Question] Thoughts on Ole Henriksen Truth Serum?
Beauty Tips For Body Care
I've been looking into getting this serum, and have been too intimidated to buy a vitamin C serum previously. I've seen a lot of good reviews, but it seems as if it doesn't come in an opaque container? Isn't that the first big no no of a vitamin C serum?If there are other good suggestions for serums under $50, I'd appreciate it. I'm a serum noob.
