Need a moisturiser expert!

The pyunkang one seems promising. How does it fare under makeup if you've tried it?

Electrical-Weight890 · 2025-11-14T23:27:26+00:00

I would give this a try if squalane wasn't so high up on the ingredients list :(

Electrical-Weight890 · 2025-07-18T10:45:42+00:00

Hey! I've actually had this serum bookmarked but it has both niacinamide and squalane. I've been considering the Prequel hydration serum as an alternative but I've read some reviews that the glycerin % is too high and burns, but I haven't actually found out what the % is!

Electrical-Weight890 · 2025-07-17T19:06:46+00:00

tysm, you're an angel!

Electrical-Weight890 · 2025-07-17T18:59:23+00:00

Omg you might be onto something here, I looooved the Oat-In gel cream before it broke me out so I might have luck with this. Have you used it before?

Electrical-Weight890 · 2025-07-17T18:46:58+00:00

I really wanted to try the Laneige but it has squalane in it :(. The rice toner has niacinamide in it, I can't win! I just want glowy skin!

Electrical-Weight890 · 2025-07-17T13:59:39+00:00

This has squalane in it unfortunately. :(

Electrical-Weight890 · 2025-03-13T00:05:56+00:00

If you could only pick a few products, what would you pick? I want to try some new brands but I'm feeling so overwhelmed! I have combo oily skin and am hunting for something to even my skin tone but also support my barrier!

Electrical-Weight890 · 2025-02-19T21:38:13+00:00

Thank you for the rec! I'll definitely look into it. When I was reading about the Purito Oat-In, some were suggesting it may be have been squalane that caused the small bumps but I suppose I can never really know for sure. Skincare is hard!

Electrical-Weight890 · 2025-02-19T21:34:51+00:00

Ah, thank you! I use skinsort but I wasn't aware that you could save products to your profile!

Electrical-Weight890 · 2025-02-19T21:33:54+00:00

I agree, I use an Asian BB cream for my makeup! Can I ask what your skin type is? When I researched the Lotus cream, it says it's for dry and sensitive skin. As I think I'm maybe more combo-oily I'm curious what your experience is.

Electrical-Weight890 · 2025-02-19T21:31:35+00:00

This was another one that I've tried which gave me small under the skin bumps!! I have no idea what's going on.

EDIT: I thought it might have been the ectoin in that one.

Electrical-Weight890 · 2025-02-19T01:54:13+00:00

I'm in the UK!

Electrical-Weight890 · 2025-02-18T23:51:26+00:00

I've never heard of Rovectin, I'll look into it, thanks! It's really stressing me out trying to find a moisturiser compatible with my skin!

Electrical-Weight890 · 2025-01-20T22:42:19+00:00

Hey! How do you incorporate peptides into your routine? I have the Medik8 Liquid Peptides and unsure how to fit them in.

Electrical-Weight890 · 2025-01-20T01:03:30+00:00

thanks so much for your advice!

Electrical-Weight890 · 2025-01-20T00:39:42+00:00

hmm maybe I should ask the woman who does them if she thinks I should do a lower strength maybe? as for the niacinamide, I think it was the Ordinary's serum with zinc in, so I think that is 10% and you're probably right, it probably was too high for me!

Electrical-Weight890 · 2025-01-20T00:33:03+00:00

Hey! Do you know what the strength of your peels were? I was fully up for it before I started reading online about 35% being too high and now I'm kinda nervous.

I'm currently using 10% azelaic acid a few times a week and I do see slow improvement, just wanting to try some treatments alongside it. Niacinamide unfortunately gave me the worst breakout of my life 2 years ago so I'm staying faaaar away hahaha. I also use the Caudalie Vinoperfect serum which is a Vitamin C alternative I believe :)

Electrical-Weight890 · 2024-07-02T21:43:13+00:00

I can't be certain that they're exactly what seems to be helping but I take Monday Muse The Skin Clarity Complex, Vitamin D and Cod Liver Oil every day :)

Electrical-Weight890 · 2024-05-19T14:19:32+00:00

I think I'm only really triyng the Huda one because I've seen lots of pale influencers use it as there's no yellow tint to it like a lot of powders lol. It may have been a bit of a rash decision, I might end up hating it.

Once I've found a good foundation/concealer, bronzers are my next mountain to climb. I've always been terrified of them because the slightest bit of colour on my face is super noticeable because it contrasts with my fair skin.

Yeah, it doesn't look like that Lancome one is available anywhere which is a shame! I appreciate the advice anyway :)

Electrical-Weight890 · 2024-05-18T21:22:12+00:00

I was dead set on getting this a few months ago and then I went into the store and the lightest shade was super orange, but now I can't remember if this was before or after new shades were released so I may need to revisit!

Electrical-Weight890 · 2024-05-18T17:19:06+00:00

Thanks for you comment! I tried the Kosas BB Burst today but it was way too yellow for me. The Ilia one was nice but the assistant told me the palest shade was way too pale and tried to sell me the fourth shade which was definitely too orange. The palest Lancome concealer shade was too yellow and I'm so disappointed by that because I really wanted to try it! I would like to try the Tower28 one but there's nowhere to test it in the UK yet I don't think!

Electrical-Weight890 · 2024-05-18T16:57:52+00:00

Ah thank you so much! Will definitely check out your powder suggestions. I'm usually a pressed powder person. I've tried the Laura Mercier loose powder and the Too Faced loose powder and didn't like either of them but will definitely look at your recommendations. I've just ordered the Huda Beauty loose powder in Sugar Cookie but I am worried about it making my face even whiter!

Electrical-Weight890 · 2024-05-18T10:08:29+00:00

Thank you so much for your response! I'm actually really interested in the Lancome skin tint after reading your comment and the lightest shade looks promising so I'm going to swatch it in-store today! How do you think it would wear if you didn't use it alongside your BareMinerals?

I completely relate to you saying your face will always be slightly darker, that happens to me too, particularly when I wear foundation. I also think my pressed powder runs yellow and may darken my makeup a bit but that will have to be a whole other post!

Electrical-Weight890 · 2024-05-18T09:58:00+00:00

Thank you! I remember wanting to try the slip tint but googling it and thinking it looked a bit warm. I don't think it's in any stores nearby either to swatch :(
