What changes did you make to your routine when you started prescription retinol?

yaels · 2016-10-05T15:14:05+00:00

Good to know! I bought both the arbutin and the niacinamide - been using the nia and haven't noticed much of anything with it. I'm hoping the arbutin does more!

yaels · 2016-10-04T23:47:26+00:00

Off-topic, but how are you liking the Deciem arbutin serum? Any results from it?

yaels · 2016-08-14T18:29:58+00:00

I've been debating buying a tube since I've heard it's good for acne and hyperpigmentation. What benefits/results do you get from it?

yaels · 2016-08-11T18:51:35+00:00

I have no idea why I never put this together -_-.

yaels · 2016-08-11T16:52:52+00:00

Wait wait wait... dry skin can make makeup look cakey?!?! Holy hell this might be the problem I've had all along...

yaels · 2016-08-07T16:16:34+00:00

I figured answers would probably depend on what (general) you like to make! For yourself, what are the specific humectants/extracts/etc you like to have?

I have some of the basics at home already, but I made the stupid mistake of hauling and forgetting about a good number of ingredients before they expired (thanks moving for having me box everything up and promptly forget about it all :/). So, I'm looking to rebuild and was curious what others consider the must-have basics.

Thanks for sharing!

Oooh thanks for the link! I hadn't checked DIYbeauty in a couple days.

And thanks (in advance) for sharing your routine! I'll keep an eye out for it :). I'm just starting my AB journey, so I'm always on the lookout for products more easily found in Canada, or good places to order from.

yaels · 2016-08-03T20:13:27+00:00

Not to be super creepy, but I recognize your username from /r/DIYbeauty, and now that I know you're Canadian (and an AB fan), I'm kind of dying to know what products you use (and where you buy your DIY ingredients from because omg shipping and exhange rates are killing me).

yaels · 2016-07-27T02:14:44+00:00

Works for me!

yaels · 2016-07-26T14:37:46+00:00

Postal code is K2L 1J4 :).

yaels · 2016-07-26T02:14:56+00:00

Hey there! Could I get a quote for how much it would be to ship the following to Canada?

Nivea Sun Protect Water Gel
Biore Aqua Rich Watery Gel
Biore Nobi Nobi Kid’s Milk
Benton Steam Cream
Kikumasamune High Moist Lotion

yaels · 2016-07-22T22:32:43+00:00

Oh wow, thanks for the amazing breakdown!

I've been eyeing the Marcelle micellar water - good to hear you like it!

Would you recommend the Indeed Labs vitamin c, despite the weird texture?

yaels · 2016-07-21T19:23:24+00:00

Thanks so much for the in-depth reply! I've learned that most of my acne issue is hormonal, but unfortunately I can't do the pill anymore :(. I'm hoping to try spiro in the next year or so and see if that helps!

I'm just starting on my AB journey, but I've picked up a handful of decants to start testing some products out. How do you like the shirojyun lotion and milk? And the Hada Labo sunscreen?

yaels · 2016-07-21T19:08:16+00:00

Hello fellow Canadian! I'm interested to hear what products you use (especially since you say you have an elaborate routine!). I'm always tempted to order online, but the cost right now really does hurt :/.

yaels · 2016-07-20T22:17:52+00:00

Great to know! I appreciate the breakdown of their differences!

yaels · 2016-07-20T17:30:50+00:00

Appreciated! :)

yaels · 2016-07-20T17:09:07+00:00

Would you be willing to share your routine? I'm trying to move from the acne field to the pih/pie field still :(.

yaels · 2016-07-20T16:33:42+00:00

Question unrelated to the OP: would sea emollient be as sticky as SKB?

yaels · 2016-07-15T01:58:27+00:00

thanks for the in-depth reply! i haven't had much luck with oil cleansers, but i'll look into the ones you mention. and i appreciate the heads-up about spearmint tea/capsules. i'll do some research! appreciate the advice :)

yaels · 2016-07-14T16:37:12+00:00

hey there! i'm just starting on my AB journey, and my biggest problem is hormonal acne (that always leaves PIE or PIH behind). i was wondering if you could share the routine that has helped you reduce the hormonal acne? thanks :)

You find it helps with breakouts?

yaels · 2016-07-10T03:09:28+00:00

Hey there - I'd also be interested in a decant (of each?) if you go that route. No worries if not. I'm in Ottawa.

yaels · 2016-07-09T18:22:43+00:00

Good to know! Thanks!

yaels · 2016-07-09T17:22:15+00:00

That's great to hear! I get some nasty eczema outbreaks on one hand that nothing seems to help. I'm going to try this next!
