I use the Mizon AHA/BHA too! I also use a low ph cleanser, of course. I need a pretty short wait time on any acid so I've been experimenting on that. I do store the Vitamin C in the fridge but I just go through it pretty slowly because my face can't handle the L-AA more than once or twice a week. I'm trying to build it up slowly because I like the results. What Vitamin C serum do you use? Right now, I'm just using El Diablo but it's a C derivative so it's not as potent.
I haven't used a C in forever. Ever since we moved, I've been on a minimal (3-4 step) routine because most of my stuff was nearly empty, and I threw it out/used it up so I didn't have to move it. Current steps are
  • Skinfood Black Sugar Cleansing Oil
  • Tonymoly Acne Control foaming cleanser (or MRCS if I want to feel fancy)
  • Mizon AHA/BHA
  • Mizon AHA 8% Peeling Liquid (1x a week)
  • Missha long-name essence
  • Whatever I have in my sample drawer as a moisturizer
I also had a Tonymoly store open up literally half a block from work, so not spending ALL my money is a challenge on a daily basis. Happy to do pickups if you need anything, but pricing isn't particularly great.

I'm looking for a really good (AB) sunscreen rec that isn't $$$$/ounce because I need to use it pretty much on every inch of my exposed skin. Pasty white girl in SoCal, wooo! Any US brand I try for daily wear ends with me having pimples in weird places. (Collarbone, back of my arms...)

Ugh, this reminded me I need to go through my skincare this weekend. And get back to my regimen.

Sorry. :( Makes you feel any better, I need to add exfoliating and sheet masking to that ASAP, but I can't because I have to wait for my hormonal acne to go away for the month.

I always wait until my skin starts to have problems again to take care of it. When I could avoid the problems if I was just consistent.

Sorry, folks. I'll tone it down.

I try to be nice. Seriously. But I can trade jabs, too.

However, it's not fair to all of you lovelies. So I sincerely apologize for stuff.

I am loyal to you guys. :)

Have you tried hydrocolloid bandages or a drawing salve to see if you can get it to go about its business faster?

Look at this guy, no remorse whatsoever, just lording it over us that he keeps getting away with it. What an asshole.

Guys, how does Tricia work here? Is it team based or individual or what? And when do we know the topic? Most importantly, is drinking encouraged?
