Skincare routines with:
La Roche-Posay Glycolic B5 10% Pure Glycolic Acid Serum

Notes for myself: Do not use cocokind ceramide serum or byoma moisturizer after exfoliating or the morning after exfoliating. Both have lactic acid. Vitamin c serum is okay the next morning. Hydroquinone on nights I use adapalene, don't put on my eyelids. Use topicals as a spot treatment. Do not use under my eyes with Hydroquinone or on exfoliating nights. Trying Cicaplast baume at night for sebaceous filaments. Use one exfoliant at a time. Use together Niacinamide + retinol Sulfur + Zinc AHA's + Ceremides and glycerin Vitamin C + Vitamin E, Ferulic acid Don't use together Retinol x AHA's BHA's Retinol x Vitamin c AHA's BHA's x retinol AHA's BHA's x niacinamide AHA's BHA's x Vitamin C Vitamin c x niacinamide cetearyl alcohol is comedogenic for me. (Azelaic booster, celimax ceramide serum, byoma moisturizer) oleth-3 phosphate is comedogenic for me. (DRMTLGY sunscreen) Parkii butter is comedogenic for me. (topicals)

WIMJ is literally a godsend; I don't have to spend hours searching on ULTA and Sephora for products any longer; THE DUPES FEATURE IS AMAZING. This is a new routine I am trying after I got recommended the gold bond product from WIMJ. Everyone is always sleeping on budget products, but if the ingredients are right, they're right. I am super excited about the Gold Bond Age Renew Retinol Overnight because I have been searching for a retinol cream that can be used on the body (not expensive) FOREVER, and WIMJ says it has a good percentage as well as Niacinamide and tons of other amazing ingredients at a very affordable price... The only other body cream with retinol that seemed to have an effective percentage was the Truly Be Firm one at Ulta, but it is super expensive at $30 for 5oz in a jar, and a lot of people were saying the consistency was off. Expensive skincare is only necessary if you're getting high percentages, like La Roche Posay IMO. I am very young now but really want to stay this way forever, hahaha, and I know starting retinol and other products (ESPECIALLY SUNSCREEN), usually used later early, improves your skin, so it lasts longer. Alexa Demie is my inspiration; she says her mother told her to start using serum, etc., really young, and she was passing for a high schooler in Euphoria at 31. UGHH, my inspiration.
