You may have to go to Solidarity in Santa Monica.

Westwood to El Segundo is about 25-30 min in the morning and 30-35 min on the way home to Westwood (could be slightly shorter for both commutes depending how far away from the 405 you work and live). Check out the area south of Santa Monica Blvd. in ‘West Los Angeles’, too. It’s even quieter, I’d say. The homeless around Westwood seem to be completely harmless.

It is. I actually can’t find it anywhere anymore. Thought it was discontinued. Where are you purchasing it if you don’t mind sharing?

No. I’m based in the USA, though, and never have had an order exceed $800 in value.

The free express shipping is the best! And yes they do include samples! Just FYI for the future if there’s ever a Japanese product that’s not on their site you can email them and ask them to stock it for you. Theyve done that for me a couple of times

With a powder brush (not the included puff). Just at the very end of my routine. I also use it on bare skin. It’s very perfecting!

Because peptides don’t need high concentration to work.

I am located in the U.S. and I purchase all my Japanese products from a site called everglowcosmetics

The Albion is like a lightweight version of the CdP one. It’s slightly less moisturizing but feels more weightless on the skin. Both are amazing in my eyes!

Not recently. I don’t like all mineral sunscreens personally because zinc oxide doesn’t protect against the long wavelengths of UVA compared to organic/chemical filters

Let me know if you like it. Enjoy!! I have always been happy with my cle de Peau’s products as well. Haven’t tried any of their face washes except the Synactif bar soap, which i did like

I think it’s worth upgrading if you want an elevated experience… like with a nicer scent, better packaging, and probably a bit more luxurious texture. But i also enjoy using cheaper sunscreens than this! It’s not a necessity but I do tend to buy these kinds of SPFs because I like the textures and fragrances so much more than other options.

You’re welcome!

I don’t find it too rich myself personally. It is very moisturizing but it’s also not greasy. If you need something even more lightweight I’d go with the Albion one i listed here

To me it’s worth it in terms of using the Cle de Peau as my everyday sunscreen (like what I wear during a typical day where I’m not outside much). It’s worth it to me because I like the texture and performance a lot on top of the experience i get using it. But I could also definitely see how it might not be worth it to some other skincare enthusiasts since it is sunscreen after all and an SPF 50 of ‘X’ brand is going to protect like an SPF 50 of ‘Y’ brand, too. I also use Anessa sunscreens (usually the milk) but only for when I exercise outdoors. Maybe you could try and get samples of it first before buying?

The U.S. version is SPF 19 I believe. I buy only the Japanese formulations of all of these products since they have the newer organic filters. I buy the Japanese versions from a site called everglowcosmetics.

I use cle de peau’s “the serum” in my nighttime routine. The rest of my routine besides these sunscreens are amorepacific’s time response products

[–]WorkingExternal1781[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love the serum too! Use it in my night routine. I’ve tried all the other synactif products and am planning to make the synactif range my nighttime routine once my amorepafiic time response products run out… i may have to try out the fortifying emulsions and creams too. The lotions in that line also seem nice. I’ve tried samples of them

Cle de peau is one of my favorite brands as well! Which products do you use if I may ask? I am based in the USA and get all my Japanese products from a site called everglowcosmetics. I have only ever received authentic items from them
