I had to learn the hard way, that when it come to skin care, more products/ ingredients does NOT equal more benefits and often causes more skin issues then you had to begin with.
I’m now "trying" to keep it simple while still maintaining a luxurious self care routine.
I have reactive skin that feels tight and itchy and can be prone to dryness and acne. I have mild acne scaring around my chin and mild fine lines on my forehead.
All products last me at least 2 months.

Just a basic gel cleanser yet it’s the only effective cleanser I’ve found that doesn’t leave me feeling stripped.
Moisturising cleansers always leave an itchy veil and I don’t feel clean. I’ve tried at least 20 and this is a game changer!

Not a fan of oils but this absorbs beautifully and seems to help with breakouts.
I’m normally sensitive to Vitamin C so I’m glad I found this as the hype around Vit C is real!

The only eye cream that doesn’t give me tears when I apply it to my lids. It’s never recommended to apply anything to your lids but I’m not perfect and this makes it not noticeably problematic.

Usually don’t believe the claims of beauty tools, This is my one exception, helps the absorption of my products which has greatly helped with congestion from over-layering. Can’t comment on the vibration triggering collagen, seems unlikey.

I’ve tried countless “fancy” moisturisers, however when using actives in treatment steps I’ve found it’s safest to keep it simple to avoid irritation. Amazing for combination skin +provides good slip for skin tools to glide without pulling.

I’m too pale to comment on white cast but I can’t imagine that being a problem as it absorbs so quickly. Hasn’t broken me out which is a rarity for my skin. As it doesn’t say PA level, I only use this in the winter (too pale to risk it😅).

I only use if I’m wearing sunscreen and/or Makeup. In the winter when I work from home (no where near direct sunlight) I don’t wear either so don’t need this step.

I do not use retinol on the evening I use this.
At first I used it three times a week to clear an acne breakout. Once I got my desired results I reduced down to once a week for maintenance.
It says daily peel but I think that’s too harsh.

Be patient with this one, first night you use it your skin will glow and you’ll be tempted to wear it every day immediately. Trust me and DON’T!!! take your time.

Never felt an eye cream did anything till I started applying this over it. My dad who thinks head and shoulders is a body/hair and face wash even bought this he was so impressed. He just uses Nivea with it and it has made a big difference.
