Faded Tropicals

Hi! I recently bought the Faded Tropical serum, and my cheeks have had a little hyperpigmentation. I've been working to perfect my skincare routine, and my skin type is normal to combination. Since using too many chemicals at once might burn your skin, I was wondering if somebody could tell me if the Faded serum will work well with the products I'm using and when in my routine I should use it, or if I should just return it in general. Here is the order and what I use. I appreciate those who takes the time to help me out! ❤️

1. La Roche Posay hydrating cleanser

2. Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence 

3. Glow Recipe Niacinamide Dew Drops

4. Good Molecules Eye Cream

5. Elf  Holy Hydration Cream

6. Innisfree Sunscreen

Re: Faded Tropicals

Honestly I’m pretty sure you just have to worry about the - exfoliating acids (Aha/bha) in your routine! Hydrating serums go well with everything! But just be careful with niacinamide- make sure you’re using an low dosage of niacinamide..nothing past 5%. Usually high % or niacinamide can cause irritation !

 

also you should probably start topical 1x/ wk as there’s so much acids, that you may not be familiar! Especially with the kojic acid, may not pair well with sensitive skin + sun sensitivity! So always wear your sunscreen and start on a healthy barrier on skin!
