I want my pimples to socially distance.
😄
Amen 🙏🏼 lol we all do
😂😂😂
For real. Especially with wearing a mask right now. I been breaking out around my chin 😩.
Never related more😭
I didn't realise the skin was this complex
IKR
wait till the obsession starts and you start randomly search for a journal on certain efficacy of an ingredient... 😁
Our lives are already too complex
Fr man🥺
My skin is oily combination, acne prone and dehydrated. 🙃🙃🙃😭
It would be really helpful if you had photos of what these look like on different skin tones x
The medical community doesn’t have enough tbh.
It's lowkey funny because I clicked on this because she was Black 😂 I just assumed it was going to be directed to Black/Brown people. I learned a lot though! I'm just not sure I can properly evaluate my skin for some of the stuff. Lol
Aletea D yeah same. That’s why it’s good to find esthetician’s and dermatologist that are black so they can tell exactly what’s going on if you have the option.
Arianni Pierre I've been looking for a Black/Brown dermatologist but no luck just yet. I know estheticians aren't huge in my area, but I'm going to look for one as well
You should check out Dr Vanitta Rattan’s CZcams channel. She’s a dermatologist that specializes in skin of colour, so all of her videos are applicable to us!
I love seeing more and more Black people make skincare content that we can benefit from!!! 😍😊
Yes 👏👏👏👏
Fr I'm not black but my bf and daughter are and I need all the knowledge, i wanna be an aesthetician but not all schools cater to darker skin tones, a lot of that you have to do your own personal research
@@zoesee9109 you really do. We skimmed over different fitz types but nothing else after that. I found an article and did a presentation in class about it and it's stuff that should have been in the core curriculum.
yes!!
Indeed, it's been a long time coming.
I don’t know how to say this but your voice is like warm cookies on a cold winter day 🥺
😂
That's.. oddly perfect
that's a nice compliment...and very fitting!
I totally get this
Coupled with a mug of hot chocolate 🥺
Can we just focus on how GLOWY she is?!?! 😍
A true testament to her profession.
That’s how I’m trying to look! She inspired me to start to work on my biggest insecurity and I’m thankful she’s so relatable easy to understand
It's filter.
Purging lasts about 4-8 weeks and is typically your skin vomiting impurities deep within due to rapid cell turnover from AHAs and BHAs, retinoids, etc.
A good way to tell if your skin is purging is if your pimples are healing faster.
I've been using adapalene for the past 2.5 months
And still no improvement 😔
Hello .. so should I keep using BHA or stop until purging goes away 🙈
@@horiyamariam7963 any imprvmnts??
Wearing a mask 8+ hours a day has really irritated my skin and I'm getting more breakouts around the mask area 😕
Try wearing pimple patches on the irritate areas and Cerave healing ointment on the spots where the mask touches your face
Omg, I’m an idiot. I’ve been breaking out all around my mouth and chin and didn’t even think it could be because of wearing a mask. Girl you right 😭😭
the only good thing is that nobody’s gonna see it as long as you keep wearing a mask
Are you changing the mask regularly? If you don't your mask will accumulate bacteria. Best to buy several washable ones and keep them moving in rotation
There is actually a name for this called Maskne. It happens because your skin has become irritated and is not getting proper circulation I that area. Make sure once you get home you immediately take a shower or wash your face
My only critique is that there weren’t any photos of Black skin. Darker skinned people don’t really have the redness that’s show in the thumbnail picture.
Its dark in color....skin goes dull
i have red skin now.
1:53 "purging.. it gets better before it gets worse" 😂😂
Alisha Pisha :ikr...I instantly said the reverse out loud 😂🤣
I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS COMMENT OMG
What does that mean? Lol!
My Libra ass spotted that too 😂
You heard that too
"That's not Cetaphil". I nearly choked. I had this super bad reaction to cetaphil's cleanser where I looked like I had open wounds, it was absolutely terrible.
Purging lasts for 4-8 weeks? Like 2 months?! Hell nah 🥴
Yup but it's worth it
better than ever to purge, when we have to use masks.
it sucks im on week 5
@@gorz3922 Maybe you can use an antibiotic gel like clindamycin.
Won't stop purging, but the spots won't be all angry red and ready to burst.
I'm not an expert, so ask someone who is before you do this though.
crunchysquid did it get better??
This is super helpful and right on time. I now know that I’ve been experiencing purging for the past week. I feel so reassured and equipped to handle it. Thank you 💓
But no-one is talking about her hair ? I couldn't stop looking at it 😭😭😭💔💕
This is the most informative skin video I have ever seen on CZcams. I have learned some of these tips from my esthetician and feel like this information can be hard to find out there. Thank you so much for creating this!
This is fantastic information. I've been reading about purging vs irritation and how to tell the difference, and your delivery breaks it down to just the right level of simple for me! I recently switched up my skincare regimen and I was pretty sure my skin is purging rather than irritated, and your information here validates that. But wow, 4 - 8 weeks of this?! Oh well, one more reason to be grateful for working from home! 😄
Thank you so much for this video!
My breakouts have been healing quickly since I started differin. There are more pimples but they go away in
Let me tell y’all how I used to avoid retinol so much bc I was scared of purging BUTTTT there really was a brighter side for me. Nothing else worked for my skin the way Tretinoin did. The purging lasted around 2 months and I highly suggest trying it if nothing else seems to be working! ❤️❤️❤️
Facts! Retinoids make your skin flawless once the purging is over!
@@Lotusbiscof How long did it take for flawless skin?
@@Lotusbiscofdo the spots left behind by the pimples also go away?
This is the most clearest and straight to the point advice I have found. Thank you!!!
I appreciate you talked bout allergies, more skincare channels should mention this. I recently discovered I am allergic to so many elements I have to take immunotherapy shots and my life is very different now. If you are allergic to nuts, you need to avoid nuts not only as food but as an ingredient in your skincare too. Everyone should get allergy tested. ❤️
I love that I'm learning so much from this but I also can't stop staring at your face - you're soooooo gorgeous, it's amazing
I LITERALLY was asking this in my head this MORNING because I have been breaking out all summer!!!! God is good! EDIT: thx for all the likes 😮 question for Nay - - So on the treatment for irritation, what if you’re new to skin care and have NO idea of what products work for you because you’ve just started with a skin care routine?
Literally me last nights
I said the same thing! God is good cause I think I'm purging right now 😭
Just Haley now that I’ve watched the video, I’m thinking that’s the same for me too plus hormones I have to watch it again tho
Watched the video again and it’s probably definitely hormones. Though BHAs I’ve been using have sped up the healing. But the particular hydrating products I’ve been using seem to be irritating the breakouts. 😅😅🙃
You really should start small. Less is best, if you start an entirely new routine all at once you can't figure out what is and isn't working. Right now I'd focus on a cleansing system and moisturizer, you can start on masks, serums and exfoliants after you have that down and introduce everything very slowly. Keep to calming products..dermalogica has an ultracalming line that is really great!
You’ve dropped the knowledge on skin purging better then any other video I’ve seen. Thank you!!
Every one of the videos I have seen from you is so incredible. You’re an amazing educator.
I’m so happy I found this video! It was so informative. I’ve been going in a bit hard with the retinoids lately and started getting red bumps on my cheekbones and forehead, where I usually don’t break out. I was wondering what was going on and had started to scale back. I took a day off sunscreen today (and stayed inside all day), so I could continually moisturize throughout the day and seeing this I know it was irritation and scaling back was the right choice. My skin already feels better!
OH MY GOD
I was just searching some video about purging and here they are!!!
Thank youuu
I love your channel! This is exactly what i needed.. you are so underrated. i hope your channel grows and you get the attention you deserve.
You are truly an amazing person and just Godsend. I clicked on this video immediately when I saw it on Twitter. My face has been acting up and this just clarified so much. Thank you and stay blessed Queen 👸🏿✨
this video came at the right time!! i had a lot of small bumps on my cheeks that wouldn't go away and I recently started using a chemical exfoliator and i noticed a lot of pimples coming up there. with the help of the video, i believe my skin is purging and I'm excited!
ive literally had glowing skin since before this quarantine and now ive been purging for 3 months and now i just think my skin is irritated. i want my clear skin back and i dont know what i did wrong :-((
same here!! my skin has never looked as bad as it does right now and i don’t know what i’m doing wrong or where to start fixing it. :/
honestly same! i ended up consulting my doctor about it and got to see a dermatologist who prescribed some products for me-- if that's something you can do, i highly suggest seeing a derm!
Kaytee I definitely will, thank you!! Have the products been working?
Daniela R it’s only been a week since i’ve started using them, but some of my pimples have definitely died down since then
Exotic Flower Exotic Flower thank you so much!! i’ve been eating cleaner and making sure to drink at least 64-96oz of water a day and it’s helped a lot!! I’ve also been doing stuff to try and repair my skin barrier and it’s helped some but I think at this point it might just be hormonal? I’m going to contact my doctor about starting birth control and seeing if that helps but if anyone has any info on how to minimize/decrease inflammatory acne, i’m open to suggestions!! :))
Holy crap, this is such an important video topic! I can never tell if I’m purging or just irritated... which is so key because it’s the deciding factor on whether you should discontinue a product or not... thanks so much for making this video!
How did you know that I needed this video? You're an angel, Nai. 💛😭
Omg thank you for this! I thought I had cystic acne out of nowhere along my chin but now I'm almost certain it's irritation from over chemically exfoliating. I would do it only twice a week but I have dry to very dry skin and I'm acne prone so this really clarified a lot.
I gave salicylic a break for a few months when I came back IT I broke out alll over and my skin was peeling almost every few days I wanted to discontinue the product but glad I didn’t cod my skin is normalizing.
Omg I ran out of salicylic acid and my skin started breaking out 🥺 I miss it but it’s sold out ahhhh
Hey love your channel! And me and you are in the same boat.
@@Lily-jj1sk if your use CeraVe SA face wash, try ordering off of target. I was having an issue finding it too. Sold out everywhere. But I bought 3 from Target online.
Wait, what percentage of SA were you using? In my experience SA didn't make me peel and stuff.
Ari S. Hey, I was looking for it too, then decided to look to see if the ingredients are the same in the body wash. Guess what? The CeraVe SA body wash, which is a bigger size for less money - is exactly the same as the face cleanser! Shhhh 🤫 I ordered it and got it 2 days later.
This helped me so much!! This whole time I thought my skin was purging but turns out it is very irritated. I learned so much and have been doing so much research. that I was becoming very overwhelmed, but after watching this video I got so much peace. Thank you !!
Thank you for this. I was doing so well with my skin and then a sunscreen severely irritated my skin. My skin is healing now.🙏🏾
Thank you! I used to mistake reacting a new product as "purging" but that was when I wasn't using actives. It was just irritation from ingredients I didn't agree with. My routine- oil cleanse (at night), foaming cleanser, hydrating toner, serum, and moisturizer. Skin loves it!
Currently in my Differin "purge" I am 1 month in. I can tell its working though so I'm excited weeks 2-3 was really tough. I was definitely pizza face.
I’ve been on differin for 2 and half and my skin still purging
@@johnadedeji2438 try to wait at least till month 4 before giving up!
same I'm purging
@@johnadedeji2438 please what’s the result so far?
@@nikkyshairades9078 I went off it and started roaccutane
I just love you! My skin has a major attitude right now, and you've helped me identify the issue. THANK YOU!
I've been struggling with my skin and this video defiantly helped me identify my problem!! You're the best!
"you need gentle cleansers"
Me: ok good, I got cetaphil
"...not Cetaphil"
Me:....oh no..
I FEEL YOU! as soon as she mentioned "not Cetaphil" my heart just sank.
it made curious, what makes Cetaphil cleanser as bad as it sounds?
Both of their cleansers either contain fragrance and/or sodium lauryl sulfate, which is considered a harsh surfactant for many skin types, often dries and strips the skin of oils entirely too much.
Estephanie Martinez yep I use the Cerave wash that contains hyaluronic acid. It helps add moisture back since I am on tretinoin.
Omg I used the cetaphil lotion, and I started getting hives after 1 night of use. Don’t use it!
ok guys it is confirmed. I stopped using my Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser for 5 days and now my skin is sooooo much better. It used to be so red, itchy and inflamed (especially around my nose) and I didn't know why. Now my skin is slowly healing and I can physically feel the difference!! it is crazy.. I never thought cetaphil was my nemesis
This came right on time! Currently experiencing a breakout and was just researching how I can tell the difference between irritation vs purging (which I think/hope it is 🤞🏾)
What was it? Purging or irritation??
@@yull8646 purging! It happened in waves, tiny bumps that were similar to black heads came up and healed quick, within a day or two. 2-3 here another couple over there, and only where I usually breakout. No new places on my face. I kept with it and it was all over in about 4wks.
@@nihamka I need ur help
@@nihamka i got small pimples on my forehead & on my cheek & some big ones too.
I don’t know if it’s purging or something bad
@@yull8646 I'm in no way an expert 😬😅, but if they look more like a rash then it's likely irritation. I tried adding a vitamin C powder to my regimen and I got a wider spread of tiny rash like bumps under the skin that didn't have a head like pimples usually do. It happened almost immediately after using, my skin felt inflamed/hot and slowly went the next day or so. I could tell my skin was irritated--that's when I knew the difference for sure
I’ve missed you and your videos! Glad you’re back! 💫💫💫
I just stumbled on to your profile and I’m in love 😻😻 thank you so much for sharing your wealth of knowledge and helping me help my skin! I have two kids and I’m a stay at home mom and I don’t wear makeup often and I just want pretty glowing skin like yours!
Thank you for this video!! I just started using a retinoid about a month ago and I realized I’ve been purging
You’re so helpful. I thought I was having irritation but now you let me know my skin is purging! Thanks a lot ♥️
How is it now? Has it cleared up yet?
Finally, good information. I over moisturized my skin and this helped a lot! It’s already clearing up in fact.
You're so knowledgeable! Thank you! I just started retinol and the purging is definetly happening.
Sorry not related to the cideo but I just need to say your hair looks absolutely GORGEOUS 🥰🤩
just came across your channel and i'm so glad to find a black women discussing skincare! i feel like a lot of these skincare youtubers or influencers are usually white and their advice doesn't always apply to darker skin tones
Just brilliant! Thank you so much for unpacking the territory so comprehensively I’m feeling I have a heaps better understanding of what’s going on.
Love the way the info was presented and found this really helpful, got rid of some products that were irritating my sensitive skin. Thanks for making this video :)
I needed this video! I started the oil cleanse routine and ended up irritating my skin when I used Dermatologica Daily Exfoliant....twice in one week! This reaction put a stop to my routine that I started back in May and now I feel like I have to figure out how to get my face back to looking like it did before adding the exfoliating step. This video is super helpful and encouraging. I look forward to going to a dermatologist to get more advice for my situation.
Thank you as I did not know the difference between purging and irritation I appreciate it and appreciate you sharing
Thank you for this, I learned I have been experiencing irritation this entire time!
Hey girl hey. I just discovered you about two weeks ago. Your methods are working wonders for me.
currently dealing with the worst irritation because i got very excited about trying new products and started using AHAs, BHA, Retinols, Vitamin C, Benzolperoxide and a ton of other ingredients all within the last 2 or 3 weeks....my skin is freaking out and I definitely learned my lesson the hard way...
How’s your skin now?
I really want to know your routine nd how u overcome it Becz I made the same mistake 😓😓😓😓
Same problem. Coconut oil help my skin so much after those serums.
waat did u doo
I learnt a lesson
I’m studying for my State Board Esthetics exam. Wish me luck. I’m so nervous 😬
Good luck!
Good luck!!
Best of luck!
Good luck !!!
I wish you a lot of success 😊 May Jesus Christ bless you all, he loves us all ❤
The examples of healing routines really changed things for me, thank you 🙏🏼 I have been struggling with these insane ingrown hairs that are long across my skin and they were literally falling out of my face after I did a vitamin e cream, a healing neem/turmeric thicker cream, and bio oil!!!! My skin is loving it. I didn’t know glycolic acid was in the group of exfoliating type products, very good to know.
I was scrolling g and couldn't help but notice your skin a d how beautiful and glowing it is! You are beautiful!
This is perfect timing! I have an appointment with my doctor coming up to talk about starting tretinoin
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I severely irritated my skin about three days ago--I've NEVER seen my skin this bad. This is right on time!
This was such an easy to understand video! I def took notes and am excited to keep learning more from you!!
How amazing to provide links for people who learn best by reading. Acknowledging different learning styles in (free!) educational content?? We love to see it!
This helped me out so much! I’m on week 4 & starting to get really disheartened by the amount of spots I have on my cheeks, but I’m keeping everything crossed that this purging will only last another few weeks x
Hey there, do you have update, did it finally go
@@judithhayford2352 hey! So salicylic acid really didn’t work for me, it made my skin so angry and sensitive that I stopped using it. I switched to using just a gentle cleanser (Cerave) and a light moisturiser and my skin is much better
Thank you so much for this. You motivated me to be patience.
I hope you read this, it's the second day after I watched this video and my skin already looks an feels clearer. You've earned a loyal subscriber in me. Thank you😘😘
I seriously look forward to your uploads!! my fav rx🤍🤍🤍
did anyone catch she accidentally said "gets better before it gets worse"? I'm gonna get worse? XD
my giant inflamed pimples from getting my period: 😗✌️
my hydrating toner, hyaluronic acid serum and thick moisturizer: 👁👄👁
Man, it is 3 am and i clicked even if am sleepy. I love you and your content!!!
This is the most helpful and effective video I've seen . Hats off to your efforts ❤your way of explanation makes so much sense!!!
I started benzoyl peroxide(epiduo) about 2019/4 and i Break out like hell but 4 months ago my skin seemed fine no more acne
So I wanted to start Retin-a course so I waited till two weeks ago
Last week I started. Course and I break out like hell again so i quiet
I didn’t know what purging is till now so thank you I will continue my skincare routine.
This is sooo painfully relevant to my current skincare struggle so THANK YOU. I now realize that after 8 weeks of using niacinamide for my lifelong acne that I had inflammation (thought it was cystic acne) rather than purging, after having the worst breakout since middle school the whole 8 weeks. I hate to totally ditch the product when I have so much left and I’ve heard such great things 😩 would you recommend maybe scaling back on using it to every other day or so, or just giving up on it?
i had bad reaction from using niacinamide as well though i often hear good things about the ingredient but unfortunately it is just not for my skin.
This was a great video. My chin is going through a purging process but the products I am using are really helping! Thanks so much for sharing the healing routines!!
OH HOW I HAVE MISSED YOUR VIDEOS !!! Self-Care Sunday's + A great skincare video = Best Day Ever
I was wondering why my acne was getting a little worse! I’m glad I’m just purging 🙌🏻
how is it? after 7 months?
I needed it RIGHT NOW thankyou so much😭❤
Thank you! I've just begun using an AHA plus niacinamide serum on an AM/PM routine, along with vitamin C (I don't mix them, I swap them for mornings and evening routines) and my parents think I'm breaking out, but I've genuinely noticed how much faster whiteheads pop up and my dead skin peels off! My parents don't notice that and I really had to lecture them about the so-called break-out, and your video was truly helpful! Thank you!
you have GORGEOUS skin and hair and I love your warm color palette for your clothes and jewellery!
I had some issues when I started Cerave's retinoid-I wish I had been able to know the difference then! My skin was burning all the time and I started having really intense breakouts on my jaw-where I had never had acne before. I switched back to daily lactic acid use, which seemed to clear up my face a bit, but honestly has left my skin pretty dry and uneven despite the more clear skin. I think I'm going to lessen my acid use to a couple times a week in the hopes it will help-and from there make the transition to the ordinary's granactive retinoid, it made the broken out sun damaged skin on my shoulders feel really good!
Random question: has anyone suffered irritation from wearing masks? I used to wear the surgical masks before switching to N95 masks and my face would breakout badly with several small bumps on my cheeks that have caused some dark spots 😷
I think you're talking about "maskne." it's been one of the lovely new additions to our lives from this pandemic. hyram just did a video about maskne. I didn't watch it personally but give it a try. he's always very informative and helpful
@@madolynoliver9811 yes, i binge watch his vids! I'll check it out. I've had mostly irritation bumps that go away after a few days but, they would come back obviously because we have to wear masks in public. And I never had acne prone skin. 😔
Me! And i hate. 😕I try to wear my masks only once and then wash them. Helps a ittle bit. 😷🤷🏽♀️
N 95 broke me out bad w dark spots and I’ve always had flawless skin
Yeah mask sucks
This was so helpful thank you so much! I had an issue with a new moisturizer a few months back that I was really excited to use but within 6 hours I had broken out so bad in places I've never even seen before. I'm talking big angry pustules that were incredibly painful! I took the product back to Sephora and the girl at the counter told me it might just be purging and I was like MA'AM MY FACE HURTS. I'm glad to know the difference for the next time I pick something up, you just saved my skin's life!
This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you. This is very informative. 💙
this was exactly the video i needed !! helped me realize that my skin is EXTREMELY IRRITATED. i tried like 4 new products including salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide which dried my skin out soooo bad. i’m not used to such extreme breakouts and i’ve never seen my skin like this 🥺 now i know that i just need to hydrate and stop the excessive layering of so many actives
Omg I’m going through the exact same thing ☹️ I tried 4 new products and my skin is terribly irritated. Never seen my skin like this, I thought I was purging. This video is saving my life
😂😂😂
Thank you for this! I’ve been wondering if my skin was still purging or if it was truly irritated. I’ve been oil cleansing with Palmers for nearly a month and my skin is SO angry! I’m going to try stopping the actives and just go with gentle and hydrating products for a week to see if that helps.
Palmers facial oil is insanely comedogenic! Throw that ish out! Coconut oil, cocoa butter, macadamia nut oil look em up on the comedogenic scale. You’ll be shook.
Yayyyyy you’re back!!!
Thank you for making this video. I had no idea purging could take that long.
This helped so much! I started tretinoin 3 weeks ago and now I know I’ve been purging like crazy. ❤️❤️
Immediate thumbs up...immediately. 😊🧡
MY GO TO FOR SKINCARE!!
I was going thru a bad breakout and was so confused bc my skin was GLOWING after following her tips on the routine and watching this helped me understand the cause. Turns out, I was over doing it with exfoliating and I didn't balance out my products with moisture based ones. Luckily, I figured it was something with my skin barrier being damaged and start using more gentle cleaners and added more moisture.
ANYWAY!! I'm so glad I found her channel. A literal SKIN CARE ANGEL.
This is one of the most helpful videos, ever.
I just started using Differin bc my doc told me to and I’ve been seeing some breakouts so this video could not have come at a better time!
I literally just went through this! I broke out badly from adding the ordinary’s Niacinamide + hyaluronic acid to my routine. After only cleansing and moisturizing for about a week, my skin is finally back normal! My skin felt like sand paper & I had pimples in places I don’t normally don’t get them.
this is happening to me as well! I used their niacinamide like a year ago and loved it. didn’t repurchase until now and my skin is purging baddd. so did you leave it out for a week and then bring it back in after doing
the simplified routine?
me too! i started both of those a week ago and i’m breaking out so bad. i was breaking out before them though so i’m really not sure, it’s just not getting better. i’ve never broken out like this before so it’s really stressing me out and i want it to go away asap!
when u use the ordinarys Niacinamide what cleanser do u use with it
omg i have the same routine as you, i’ve been using the niacinamide and hyaluronic acid for 2 days and i’m scared bc i’ve been reading ppl saying that they broke out so now i’m trying to figure out if that is going to happen to me
gurl all the products i’ve tried from the ordinary have given me breakouts 😭 so disappointed when they’re hyped up
I love your videos and suggestions it’s very helpful.. I’m someone that is currently struggling with cystic acne .. hopefully one day we can get a video on some good tips on how to help with cystic acne 🤞🏽🤞🏽
You're back!! ❤❤
OMG !!
This is what I'm experiencing these days just started using Cerave SA cleanser. I meant purging
Will continue using it 😊
Do you use it on your body or face
@@lazycraft8106 On my face because of the hormonal acne
Had the same reaction at first with CA, but now it's all good :)
I had the SAME reaction with the CeraVe SA cleanser but after like 2 weeks of everything coming to the surface it leveled out. First time I ever had purging and it freaked me out.
You gave me more confidence 💕
This video was perfect timing! My skin broke out very badly in June after going Vegan for that month. After trying several things like salicylic acid (didn’t have much luck) and niacinamide (love this ingredient), I decided to try Benzoyl Peroxide (10%🤦🏾♀️). I used it at night, woke up the next day with great results and no irritation. Where I went wrong is on the following morning, I used an AHA toner and vitamin C serum. The next day I had dermatitis. This happened Friday btw😭. I have not used any actives since, only hydrating products. My skin has greatly improved, but I still have some pesky acne. I was going to reach for my benzoyl peroxide today and only add a hydrating moisturizer in addition, but I will wait now that I’ve watched this video. I will also look into buying one that 2.5 or 5% instead.
I just searched this topic yesterday. Thank you!!
I love your content so much!! So happy I found you! xx
