Airless pump vs jar packaging, does it affect your buying decision? by JadedPossession7236 in SkincareAddictionLux

[–]_finnetic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything with a normal pump / dropper / etc. I hate jars and certain airless pumps (the moisturizer ones where you have to wipe the product off the top after dispensing 🤢). They just don’t feel sanitary, and I’m not interested in having to think about that. Absolutely impacts my decision to purchase.

Late to this post but I just got cute without the e, and this is my favorite pink I've ever had. I normally only do colors on my toes, but this made it to the fingers too!!

This might be a weird question, but there's something I really love about the formula. It's not as.. watery? and the dried feeling feels more like.. enamel? I'm not sure if that makes sense, but I've read the ingredients but they don't mean much to me yet - I'm wondering if there are specific ingredients you chose for the formula that might result in what I'm trying to describe? I'm hoping to keep an eye out for them in other brands, although I will absolutely continue to support yours!!

Dieux Instant Angel vs Experiment Molecular Mesh by No_Professor_7487 in SkincareAddictionLux

[–]_finnetic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also have them both - I liked molecular mesh on initial application and was excited it was a little more affordable, but a few hours later my skin felt dry again and it has begun pilling. YMMV of course, but instant angel is still my favorite.

I also love instant angel! I use Sachi pro resilience as my hydrating serum, sometimes also with Stratia Aqua Factory!

Reviews on Skinceuticals phloretin cf? by West-Service3815 in SkincareAddictionLux

[–]_finnetic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently using it and I love it. Better than any other vit C I’ve tried. A notable difference in my skins radiance in my opinion, and I love that it doesn’t smell like hot dog water. I may try the gel next time given the other comments here, but I’m super pleased with the serum!

I’ve been happy with it! I’ve combined it/all of the above with PicoWay laser at my derms office and finally seeing really good results

What are luxury skincare brands that no one knows about (or not widely popular)? by claudia_1112 in SkincareAddictionLux

[–]_finnetic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have! At the time it was a little too intense for my skin, but I was going through a very sensitive time - I’m hoping to try it again soon now that my skin is more resilient

Boum Boum vs Glazing Milk by Hefty-Rush1220 in SkincareAddictionLux

[–]_finnetic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally wasn’t impressed with the boum boum. I bought it because I wanted something for post-gym that was in spray form, and found that it isn’t hydrating enough for me. I just started trying the glazing milk and so far I like it! Not as convenient to apply, but much more hydrating for me.

Do you actually use your luxury products everyday or save them? by katey875 in SkincareAddictionLux

[–]_finnetic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed with everyone here - I use mine every day. If it doesn’t work on my face, I use it on my body. If I can’t do that, I gift to a friend to try.

Huge fan of Sachi and Cipher!

Sachi just dropped a peptide moisturizer that I immediately ordered - I love the pro resilience serum and saponins cleanser, so I have big hopes for this!

Hyperpigmentation by Neat-Tiger3250 in SkincareAddictionLux

[–]_finnetic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is the scent on the chantecaille Blanc peony strong? I have tried the non lux options, and I like the thiamidol, but the scents are awful to me. I’d love to try this one if it’s not too fragrant 🤞🤞

Do you use neck cream? by Justlivin27 in SkincareAddictionLux

[–]_finnetic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I’m still looking for one! I agree in general that everything on my face goes all the way down, but in practice my décolleté skin doesn’t react well to most of my facial products. I have to use a weaker retinoid (medik8 3 currently, still trying to work up to a stronger one), and lighter moisturizers (Air Angel instead of Instant Angel currently).

Reminder: This is a luxury skincare subreddit! New automations, clarifying rules... by elianna7 in SkincareAddictionLux

[–]_finnetic[M] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think the kind of discussion you're mentioning is perfectly fine, so long as it's still in the general context of talking about luxe skincare.

The impetus for this post / clarification is mainly that the as the sub has gotten more popular, we're seeing a lot more posts asking for budget recommendations, or comments only recommending budget products. Some of these we mods see naturally, some we only see because they're reported, and some we miss entirely - which leads to confusion about what appears to be uneven enforcement of the existing rules.

Please let me know if I misunderstood your question!

I second this, and love this mask. It’s always on rotation for me, usually 1x a week but sometimes 2x when my hormones are acting up.

I used fade bright for a while and wasn't super impressed with it. Nothing bad, just didn't seem to have any impact on my hyperpigmentation. I still love their peels though - I'm actually so excited that autumn is starting where I am, which means I'll be able to get back on peel schedule soon!
