As a dry skin person who often don’t feel enough hydration from Hyalunoric acid, no for Torriden dive in toner pad. For some reason my skin feels kinda irritated, not sure if it’ll happen if I use full on sheet mask.

Try skipping cleanser in the morning, just use water. I’d also recommend Aestura cica serum for barrier repair.

Once a week at night, try apply very thin layer of Vaseline after all the moisturizer and serum.

For aging, you should look into retinal like Celimax retinol. But personally I use tretinoin 0.025%.

Vitamin c, the Melano c serum is good and cheap too. I heard IOPE is also popular.

Anua 10% Azelaic acid is popular these days. But I use 20% Azelaic acid from pharmacy.

Sunspots - Something with niacinamide, tranexamic acid.

Get Aestura 365 cream and Aestura cica serum too! As a dry and sensitive skin girl, they help maintain my barrier while using harsh actives!

I started with Skinoren 20% 1-2 a week. Skin felt super super itchy, became more sensitive/reactive/red. Skin feels dryer. Maybe a few tiny pimples near the jaw, but it could be from something else.

About 3 weeks later my skin finally started to adapt to it. Then I started using it 3 times a week. Skin still feel a bit dry, but my skin isn’t itchy or super reactive anymore.

I also don’t own any flower knows because the lack of colors hahaha. I have Cheeryep #16 Dreamcatcher and it’s not picked up by brush at all. Using fingers gives everyday light makeup result, and I have fair skin.

My sis has Cheeryep #14, and it’s so…light. She’s using some shades as her atmospheric blush or cheek highlight now

I wouldn’t recommend Cheeryep for tan skin, maybe except for Stardust palette. It won’t show up on your skin. For Chinese palette, flower knows are more pigmented.

3CE eyeshadows tend to be warm, it’s very pigmented but some palette can oxidize and turned even warmer a bit. I feel like other brands below has better money value.

Clio is also pigmented and buttery.

Lilybyred I have smores one and it’s also pigmented and good.

Holika Holika 9 pans palettes are pigmented for the earlier numbers (I have no.2 moony).

For tan warm skin, I still think western palettes are more suitable.

This is so gooooood you gotta put your credit on the photos!

It should be the same one. Aestura Cica Inci

It has Hyaluronic acid, but it’s at the very bottom of the list, so it’s not the main contributor for hydration.

Serums that heavily rely on Hyaluronic acid are serums like Torriden Dive in serum and many of Hada labo essence. Those aren’t hydrating for me at all.

The only concern for this serum would be if you’re okay with some niacinamide in the serum.

She’s so cute! Every styling with big bow is making me regret not pulling the unicorn banner 😂

Ooh thanks! I have cool tone skin, so will definitely skip Kaleidos.

Connect_Tree_7642

Why the Kaleidos didn’t work for you? I was eyeing that one since so many people hyped it up.

Agree with another comment, Romand is pretty bulky. Wakemake is small and the powder texture and color is nice too.

Me and my sis (dry and oily) tried this and it clogged our pores. This product only works well if you rub the oil for a really long time, then emulsify for a really long time. My dry skin be dead by the time I’m done.

Check out r/Fairolives ! I’m not sure if you’re olive, but muted skin people often look good in olive skin people makeup! Just check out the cool olive ones.

Lavender blush will look good on you! But since your skin looks pretty glowing, maybe try cream or balm lavender blushes.

Some cool brown or mauve brown as shading on your outer eye corners would give some dimension too (near eyeliner? Outer lower lash?)

My sister use 0.025 tretinoin twice a week and she’s been okay at managing dryness. But she didn’t need the extra sensitivity/dryness from sunscreen that she will need to use everyday 😂

Connect_Tree_7642

Nopee

Connect_Tree_7642

Roundlab camellia sunscreen has it and my sister didn’t know. She was like why does my skin feel more irritating and drying than usual. (The retinoid probably added for oil control effect)

Connect_Tree_7642

I’d say Vaseline provides no moisture, only has locking moisture property.

Zeroid provides good moisture for most people, but for people on Tret/taz that feels super dry inside it’s not enough on its own. The cream is rich but easy to spread, doesn’t feel like balm or Vaseline. It’s still a really good moisturizer (my no.2), and might suit people in cold windy winter area along with layers of serums.

(I have dry sensitive skin, living in hot and humid country)

Connect_Tree_7642

Let me explain it this way:

Aestura has perfect ratio of water and lipids/oil, with some moisture locking ability. Amazing at barrier repair. It feels lighter than Zeroid but feels a bit more oily. On extreme dry or broken skin days, I would pair it with hydrating serum that has lotion/sheet mask/watery/watery lotion consistency (Add extra water). I feel like the oil from the cream is enough, so I don’t reach for milky oily serums.

Zeroid has less water, less oil, high moisture locking ability. I tend to use it on mornings that my skin doesn’t feel super dry and doesn’t want my face to be too dewy. I don’t use it on extremely dry days, because it lacks both water and oil for me.

In conclusion, buy Aestura lol. Aestura is also better at barrier repair in my opinion, but Zeroid is better at calming redness from heat or whatever.

Connect_Tree_7642

Aestura is more hydrating, Zeroid is a bit more occlusive.

If you feel dry with Aestura, then you should apply some hydrating serum on damp skin. But if your skin feels dry because of windy winter, then Zeroid will help protecting the moisture better.

I feel like when using with Taz at night, I’d still go for Aestura since I don’t want something too occlusive with it. (I don’t use Taz, but I use Tret)

Personally, I found serums that focus on hyanuloric acid drying. So far I’ve been using Aestura cica serum, and it helps heal my skin much faster! (Been testing Purito wonder relief unscented serum too, so far not bad).

I do agree that when my skin is extremely dry and broken, Aestura cream alone isn’t enough and I need another hydrating barrier serum.

I can’t reapply moisturizer during the day because I wear sunscreen, but I’ll keep this Purito cream in mind for my next shopping! Thanks! 🥰🙏

  3. Sweat
  4. V12

The instruments are pretty fun and interesting! I only listened to it on my phone, but I think it’s gonna sound so much better with headphones or car speaker 🥰

Connect_Tree_7642

Do you use serum or toner before moisturizer? I have no issue with Aestura, but you got me curious about Purito XDD

The price of both products are the same at where I live though

Connect_Tree_7642

I’m keeping Aestura. A holy grail for dry skin who often accidentally broke her own skin barrier 😂
