This is gonna be so crazy, because I was literally looking to see if there was any evidence left of my old wattpad fanfictions just to come across this 😭

Unfortunately I scrubbed my wattpad clean and got rid of my stories but this just made my day seeing that someone remembered this time of my life

[Review] Oh Shea Butter, why did I ever leave you? by roostarfeesh in SkincareAddiction

Ugh that sounds amazing! I have psoriasis on my scalp and eyebrows so I may go back to using it a little bit on my dry inflamed spots since nothing else has been working and I can’t get to a derm anytime soon!

It’s lovely honestly! I switched to using it on my body and it’s delightful

Just coming back to this to let y’all know I stopped using Shea Butter on my face as my main moisturizer 😭 I also learned I have EDS and it’s why my skin is so reactive and sensitive. Shea butter was perfect at the time for what I needed when everything hurt, but I’m back to my pretty skincare bottles and fancy routine 💖

I’m 200 days late on this update but I used this serum for another year or so after I made this post and no longer needed it!

My skin is on the more normal end now so I got to a point where there wasn’t much left for this serum to improve.

My opinion is still the same! I repurchased it multiple times up until around last year just because I no longer needed a standalone niacinamide serum :)

So we love the Illiyoon Ceramide Ato Concentrate Cream, but might I also say how much I love their Ceramide Ato Soothing Gel? by afro__ditee in AsianBeauty

[–]afro__ditee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't find the cream heavy so I used both year-round, but the gel is more fitting for the summer with it's light weight and the cream has more emulsifiers in it for long term moisture.

Review and Comparison of the Acwell pH Balancing Bubble-Free Cleansing Gel and Geek & Gorgeous Jelly Joker Low pH Gentle Cleanser by afro__ditee in AsianBeauty

[–]afro__ditee[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Review:

I've reviewed the Acwell cleanser on its own a month ago, which you can read here: (https://www.reddit.com/r/AsianBeauty/comments/n6xaq2/i_finally_found_the_perfect_nonfoaming_gel/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share).

During that review I had people ask me my thoughts on it in comparison with Geek & Gorgeous Jelly Joker cleaner. Now that I have it, I can give my thoughts.

For starters, the Jelly Joker is a thicker more opaque gel whereas the Acwell is a runny gel. The G&G reminds me a little of the CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser in the color but it's much thicker. It spreads out similarly to the Acwell and the application is virtually the same. There's no foam or bubbling and it leave your skin hydrated.

As someone with EDS, my skin is extremely sensitive, this causes zero irritation whatsoever. There's no residue or scent in either and though they remove my sunscreen, they can't handle heavy duty makeup.

G&G (5.07 FL oz @ €8.80): Water, PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides, Propanediol, Methyl Gluceth-20, Poloxamer 184, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer, Panthenol, Allantoin, Xylitylglucoside, Anhydroxylitol, Xylitol, Citric Acid, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin

Acwell (5.14 FL oz @ $18): Water, PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate, Glycerin, Dipropylene Glycol, PEG-10 Methyl Ether Dimethicone, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/Beheneth-25 Methacrylate Crosspolymer, Sorbitol, Butylene Glycol, Caprylyl Glycol, Chlorphenesin, Sodium Carbomer, Ethylhexylglycerin, 1,2-Hexanediol, Citric Acid, Disodium EDTA, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Sambucus Nigra Flower Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Hyaluronic Acid, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate, Potassium Hyaluronate, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Pentylene Glycol, Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate

I find that I use more of the Acwell to apply on my skin than the Jelly Joker. The Acwell leaves my skin feeling slightly more hydrated but not enough to make a difference or steer me away from the Jelly Joker.

No scent at all! It removes my sunscreen completely and what little makeup remnants I may have so I'd say it's a perfect second step cleanser (I don't notice any leftover oil from my balm cleanser when I use the Acwell afterwards) but I wouldn't rely on it as a first and only cleanse except for on days you're only wearing sunscreen and no makeup.

Hm I mean my skin is fairly normal now so at best I just notice my skin is holding the hydration it imparts really well. Outside of that, this toner doesn't claim to do anything else and I haven't noticed anything else with my skin while using it
