Beauty Product Reviews

eh

this product seemed promising. in reality, it layers terribly. most people will probably use this in layers, whether in conjunction with a serum or oil/moisturizer, etc. so beware.

here's a walk through of my night routine which is pretty basic.

1. cleanse 2. tone 3. apply azelaic acid, wait until dry 4. apply the ordinary 2% retinoid, wait until dry 5. facial oil

after applying a facial oil, the product pills up terribly, presumably due to the silicones in this product. I have also tried patting the oil into my skin as opposed to rubbing in circular motions but it still pills at the slightest bit of friction.

I have also tried cleansing, then only using the azelaic acid followed by a water based moisturizer just to see how it layers. it still pills up. its efficacy is questionable because it won't stay put on the skin. would not repurchase or recommend.
