Tell me your three…

[Tinks15]

couldn’t live without facial products? Looking for some inspo to try some new products but don’t want to spend the earth.

I have quite sensitive skin prone to breakouts more so when it’s the time of the month around my jaw & some large pores in areas.

I’m currently using facetheory clarifying cleanser which I quite like & I’ve just finished using PIXI glow tonic but I’ve read good things about the REN or Paula’s choice BHA.

Please tell me your recommendations!

Eucerin 5% urea for deep hydration

Effaclar for blemishes

Cleanance face wash (the creamy one)

La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo - absolute game changer for the zits; I was in despair about my skin before getting hold of some
Vitamin C serum - any decent one. Just really brightens your face up and, for me, an added bonus of healing eczema on my hands (rub excess in).
Knock off Foreo gadget - cost me a tenner or something from Amazon and it's brill!

Glycolic acid 7%
Prescription tretinoin
Nivea

Oooh good one
Prescription tretinoin
Cetaphil factor 50
ZO skin blue scrub

Superdrug Vitamin E hot cloth cleanser
Revolution Night Restore Oil
The Ordinary AHA mask (the dark red one)

There are lots of things I like (the Glow Up watermelon toner was a close runner), but these are the ones I always have some of

Medik8 retinal
Korres sleeping facial
La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo +

I only have one..undecided on my other products

Australian Gold tinted sun screen spf 50

Elemis cleansing balm
L'Oréal eyelash serum
Revitalift golden age manuka honey night cream(possibly to rich for you I'm in my 50s and its fab)

Effaclar duo tinted moisturiser
Korres Rose sleeping facial
Vichy Mineral 89 serum

Everything else I could probably swap around for other brands, but if I could have a 4th it would be sanoflore aciana botanica cleanser.

Tretinoin
Hada Labo hyaluronic acid
La roche posay SPF

With these products, I think any and any moisturiser will probably do.

That should say any cleanser and any moisturiser.....

Medik8 C-Tetra intense serum
Biore watery essence SPF
Sea spa magik BB cream

Oh and I have to add whamisa oil cleanser... so that's 4 can't live without products

The paulas choice BHA you mentioned
Clarins lotus oil face oil
Clinique take the day off balm

Ooh interested to hear what this knock off foreo gadget is please! What would I search for on Amazon? Thanks!

Facial silicone brush
@Hotmess1 it is very close to this one, but a different colour.

I agree with any decent Vit C (was a devotee of Vichy LiftActiv but currently have Timeless which is the same nice water consistency rather than a gloppy slime) and a bigger container so works out cheaper.

Clarins Double Serum.

Liz Earle C&P (though Superdrug vit E and Clarins in the yellow tube are also repeat purchases)

Duac
Botox
Actual soap.

Fuck me it took til mid bloody 40’s to work it out though.

Cleanser: Nivea gentle cleansing wash / La Roche Posay Toleraine

Exfoliator: Pestle and Mortar glycolic acid

Moisturiser: Neutrogena hydro boost

Not quite three but these are brilliant!

Any particular soap @Cheesecrisis?

Dermatica Azeliac acid
Cosrx Snail Mucin
La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo

@Cheesecrisis

Duac Botox Actual soap.

Fuck me it took til mid bloody 40’s to work it out though.

Is duac script only?

Doesn’t seem to matter that much. Currently using Pears, sometimes use baby soap, on with a flannel, washed off again properly. I think my skin wasn’t clean for years with layers of creamy this and cleanser that plus make up.

Not sure if you can get duac otc, mine is prescription but my diagnosis is “spots”. If your skin is bothering you, it might be worth a conversation with your GP rather than a beauty counter to get something that works.

Interesting! I've just actually just started using Pears and am experiencing patches of dryness.
