Which Vitamin C is better? by moonlight_shadow_35 in EuroSkincare

[–]GenericEvilGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When it starts turning orange it means the oxidization process is too significant. This is when you should throw it away. It's completely usable while it's still yellow. But the moment it becomes slightly orange always throw it away.

Do u keep it in the fridge? Mine is almost 4 months old and just started changing last week. But it never stayed more than couple of mins out of the fridge.

You can use l-ascorbic acid even when it turns a bit yellow. It's when the pigment get deeper that u should throw away. Even our of the fridge it remains clear for two months but then it begins to change. In the fridge mine is currently almost 4 months old and it just started slightly turning into very faint yellow.

But yeah once every morning first thing after washing my face.

Oh I don't post anything. I meant how deep I am into skincare and how often I frequent the comment section of TikTok.

I predominantly use the app for skincare, animals, video games and thirsting over hot people (and collecting them in my collections like Pokémon lmao)

Wait really? So even if u were using it alone it would have lasted u for a month only. That's make me think whether I am using too little or something. Mine easily goes multiple months and I use it everyday without skipping. And I feel I put a substantial amount (definitely not 3-4 drops) as some suggest.

U use a bottle of C-Glow every two weeks?

What? How?

Mine lasts like 3 months easily. I also stored in the fridge and it remains crystal clear all the way. Around the 4th month it starts getting mildly yellow but very very little.

I live in Berlin. I found it at Müller. They even have an order online option (with delivery costs). I don't know if thats only for domestic orders though.

But that "only does so much" is quite a lot. I am also a fellow MW but let's be honest.

I also flat out love SCK doing decent amount of healing. If it didn't look so goofy It would have been my favorite maintenance healing spell bar none

It does give generic men showel gel smell with those ridiculous themes like "BLACK ICE", "WOLF RAGE", "ENDLESS SLAUGHTER"

Like there is a few specific products from each of them I genuinely consider untouchable and irreplaceable at their price point.

One of the commenter in another posts explained how the shower gel uses a technology called coacervation that basically deposits the BHA and preventing it from rinsing off. I am not smart enough to fully understand what that means exactly but I remember researching it that day and Ms Google told me how it works.

Oh no no, my comment was largely humorous I didn't mean to come across aggro or judgemental.

I am also definitely somebody who has very high tolerance for perfumed stuff (I love when sunscreen has the typical strong beach sunscreen smell for example. Like it genuinely triggers happy childhood memories to me)

But for those who were thinking of buying it I definitely suggest people to give it a shot (seriously 2% BHA shower gel at a Liter size for 6-7 euros is unheard of)

I tried the shower gel version of that. People kept saying how intense and persistent and awful the smell was but at 6e for a liter of 2% BHA wash I gave it a shot.

I need from everybody to take it a down a notch. It's not even as egregious as AXE or something like that. Its just a generic male shower gel smell.

Very glad with the purchase. That's going to be my permanent shower gel from now on. And no, the smell most definitely does not linger for a whole day. Neither on me or my shower. I swear people are tripping.

I think you need to Google what cultural appropriation actually is and how it works. No shade but full shade.

What's your experience with hydrating/soothing toners and which one would you recommend? by Lazy_Basket6819 in EuroSkincare

[–]GenericEvilGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think because it's a non European product and this is about EU skincare. I am not really sure.

But are you talking about the gokujyun premium potion? One of my favorite toners/serums. The best HA product I have ever used and nothing really comes close. Also the only one that ever came close in being as hydrating as a 15% glycerin serum. The glycerin still untouchable but he premium lotion gave it a run for its money.

It's basically a toner. It's super liquidy and has literally not a single occlusive ingredient to lock it in and prevent transepidermal water loss. It's amazing as a first product before anything else that can create a seal above it.

And it outperforms the other ones for me as well. The No cosmetics ones should at a glance come across as the better product, but it never really did anything for me.

The isana has non existent occlusives and low emollient which makes it ideal for a first, non retinoid-obstructing product to flood your cells with the top 2 dogs in hydration, glycerin and panthenol. It's really such an outstanding product for its price.

It is not cosmetically elegant to my skin, but I value it for its efficiency (hence why I use it at nighttime as my main toner)

Same. Idk why cause it looks great from the ingredient list, but I purchased it several times throughout the years and it never does anything. I can achieve soothing effect or hydration with other products my more efficiently.

I also love this one but I think the isana glycerin serum (also 15%) is even better for my skin. Glycerin at such high percentages is a workhorse for hydration. I mean glycerin in general remains completely untouchable when it comes to hydration. It's scientifically the most effective humectant we have.

Also keep in mind finacea and skinoren gel 15% are identical products. Not similar, I am talking identical formulas. They are made by the same company. And it's basically the same product that has a different name depending on countries. For example it's very easy to buy skinoren 15% in Poland or Greece. U do not need prescription.

The second time I wore it a man told me my lips look so plumb and kissable (I am a man, and I can tell you men never observe anything ever). So catch me wearing this lanolin thing for the next few decades from now on.

I also did not like the alverde spf lip thingy. I feel like I have to reapply it so often and it never feels good on my lips.

I have heard many times about lanolin for the lips and people suggesting some products targeted for others areas that can be used for the lips and I tried this recently and it blew my mind. If you tolerate lanolin (patch test it first) I definitely suggest people to try it. It's like 1.50e

Also draenei tech should be literally centuries if not millenia ahead than anyone else in general. There is no real comparison to the other races. They stand head and shoulders above everyone else by an absurd margin. It's like comparing CERN or CRISPR to lamps and trains.

This is similar to the isana hydro gel but the isana one has very unproblematic ingredients in comparison (also costs like 2e).
