✨Tretenoin Update✨

I’ve almost finished my first tube of Tretenoin (prescription Retin-A)! I’m currently using 0.025%, and will continue to do so (it also comes in other strengths) for anti-aging benefits. I apply a pea-size amount to dry skin 3-4 times a week.

So far I’ve noticed a slight reduction of texture, and I haven’t gotten my usual pimples around my cycle. This could also be attributed to other topicals I’m using. In terms of irritation, I’ve only had dry patches twice. I think my skin has tolerated Tretenoin very well!

Here’s an example of a routine with Tretenoin in it using soothing/hydrating products - no acids. I double-cleanse, use a hydrating toner (let my face dry), apply Tret, and then use a moisturizer or sleeping mask.

Have you tried a prescription retinoid yet? Let me know if you have any questions about it!

✨New Products from The Ordinary✨

A couple weeks ago I posted some of my favorite products from @deciem The Ordinary. I asked y’all for recs on other products to try, and you delivered! I got 4 new products. Here are my first impressions:

Squalane Cleanser ($7.90) - creamy and gentle! I used it as my first cleanse. My skin felt hydrated and clean (but not squeaky clean) afterwards.

Marine Hyaluronics ($6.80) - I was apprehensive about this one because I’m not a fan of their original HA serum. But this is amazing! It’s very watery, and it absorbs FAST. There’s no soapy/sticky residue.

Salicylic Acid 2% Masque ($12) - so many people recommended this mask. I use it as a spot treatment on certain congested areas of my face, like my chin/jawline area. No irritation!

Lactic Acid 10% + HA ($6.80) - Lactic acid is a gentle AHA that’s perfect for dry or sensitive skin. This particular formula is watery and absorbs easily.

Have you tried any of these products? What other ones should I try from The Ordinary?

🌞Sunscreen🌞 This is your friendly reminder

🌞Sunscreen🌞

This is your friendly reminder to wear sunscreen every day! Sunscreen is the BEST way to prevent signs of aging and skin cancer. Everyone should wear sunscreen, regardless of age, gender, or skin tone.

The best sunscreen is that one that you will wear and re-apply throughout the day. Here are the ones I have in rotation:

@kravebeauty The Beet Shield ($20) - this feels like a lightweight lotion. I absolutely love the texture. If you don’t like the traditional chalky/thick texture of sunscreens, try this one!

@lovekinship Self Reflect ($25) - this is my absolute favorite mineral sunscreen. My skin feels moisturized throughout the day. I love the subtle vanilla scent.

@eltamdskincare UV Daily ($29.50) - this has chemical and physical ingredients. It feels like a thick cream, but it dries down nicely and leaves skin hydrated.

@biossance Squalane + Zinc ($30) - this mineral sunscreen left a slight white cast on me. I do like how moisturizing it is though. I’m using it on my body, but I don’t prefer it on my face.

@colorescience Total Eye 3-in-1 Renewal Therapy ($69) - that’s a mouthful! This is a sheer tinted SPF for your eye area. It gives a slight glow, but IMO doesn’t provide full coverage like a concealer. It’s perfect for me, and it layers well with traditional concealers.

Which sunscreen do you use? Do you reapply?

Today’s AM routine was…a lot. But there’s nothing like a long drawn-out routine with a mask to wake me up. Are you the same way?

Here’s what I used this morning:

Toner from @indie_lee. You know how I feel about this toner.

Honey Mask from @imfrom_global. This is my 3rd time using it. So hydrating and gentle. I love the honey-like texture!

Caffeine eye serum from @deciem. This, coupled with my venti cold brew was *chef’s kiss*.

Hydrating serum from @glowrecipe. I love the watermelon scent.

Vitamin C from @alliesofskin. I’m almost out - sound the alarm!

Moisturizer from @cerave. This little bottle is the perfect size for medicine cabinets, and only costs $4.99.

Sun protection from @lovekinship! This is my favorite mineral sunscreen.

Lip gloss from @kopari (PR). It smells like vanilla icing and coconut. If it was socially acceptable, I’d eat it. Feels lightweight on lips and gives a nice subtle shine.

Hope your Monday is off to a good start!
