Fresh from your circle.

ok I get it now. my skin has never been this glowy under sunscreen — it wears like a hydrating serum, zero white cast, and my redness did not flare once. even my fragrance-paranoid self can find nothing to complain about except that it sells out constantly.

holy grail, third tube. paris heatwave right now and it still feels like nothing on my skin. no pilling under makeup, no stinging eyes. I will never wear a chalky sunscreen again.

the blackheads on my nose are simply gone. purged for two weeks then cleared and now my texture is the smoothest it has been since I was 15. it does feel slightly oily going on so I keep it to PM only.

bottle number four. the milky texture looks rich but sinks in fast and the soft-focus glow it gives after two weeks is not a myth. this is the backbone of my whole glass skin routine, everything layers better on top of it.

the only sunscreen that has never broken me out. niacinamide plus zinc, matte-ish finish, sits perfectly under makeup in LA heat. expensive but I have repurchased three times and will keep doing it.

my barrier repair arc peaked here. fragrance free, huge tube, melts in like a ceramide hug. london wind destroyed my cheeks in march and this fixed them in a week. repurchased before the first tube was even done.

marrakech summer approved. texture like water, no shine by noon, no white cast on my skin tone. reapplying does not feel like a chore anymore which is the whole point.

tiny jar, huge glow. it is basically a skincare step that happens to be SPF50. only con is I go through it in a month because you need a proper amount.

I wanted to love the ritual but my dry skin absolutely did not. left my face red and tight for a full day, and any decongesting it did was undone by the moisture it stripped. giving my tub to my oily roommate.

the retinoid that finally stuck. purged for two weeks then cleared, and three months in my texture and the little forehead lines are visibly softer. zero of the flaking I got from tret. worth every euro, on bottle two.

when my skin freaks out this is the only thing I trust. texture like water, smells like nothing, calms redness overnight. I have repurchased it more times than anything else on my shelf.

the tiktok hype is deserved for once. watery, absorbs instantly, and the angry red patches along my jaw calmed down within days. I pat in two layers after cleansing and my skin just drinks it.
