@stacyyy0927 How long have you used Drunk Elephant A-Passioni™ Retinol Cream 1 oz/ 30 mL ? (Assuming that’s the DE retinol product you’re talking about; they make 2 different ones.) If your skin’s very used to 1% retinol, then The Ordinary Retinal 0.2% Emulsion Serum 0.5 oz / 15 ml might not irritate your skin. It’s hard to be certain because to my knowledge, there’s no one-to-one strength conversion chart for retinol vs. retinal. Sure, we know retinal works faster than retinol (requires one less conversion step than retinol to the active form of retinoic acid our bodies can actually use). But I don’t think any clinical studies have revealed a strength comparison. I used various retinol and granactive retinoid products at different strengths before switching to Avène RetrinAL 0.1 Intensive Cream a few years ago. That product contains 0.1% retinal and my reactive skin’s had no issues with daily use, aside from the one time I accidentally applied it to my undereyes before that skin was ready to tolerate it. Earlier this year I tested a full bottle of Youth To The People Retinal + Niacinamide Youth Serum 1 oz/ 30 mL (0.15% retinal) with no irritation, then went back to my usual Avène serum. This month I began testing The Ordinary’s 0.2% retinal. I started off using it every other night for 1.5 weeks, and now I’m using it each night. No issues so far, which is great because TO’s product costs far less per ounce than Avène’s and YTTP’s (and DE’s). That doesn’t mean you won’t have issues though. If you decide to try it, ease your skin into it like you (hopefully) did with the DE retinol: use it just a few times a week for a while to see how your skin tolerates it, and then increase usage. You might even want to use it just on one area of your face for a while as a patch test, rather than apply it to your whole face straight away.

Skincare for 10 year olds are taking over Sephora and we should really pay attention on what they are putting on their fragile bodies. Also, if they didn’t put all this retinol and stuff that is NOT for their age they wouldn’t keep have to be buying more stuff that isn’t for them. The things that we should be buying for them is Evereden or stuff for their lips or if they have acne they could use Cetaphil or pimple patches. They can also use Summer Fridays. They can use Sol De Janeiro but make sure not to put the body butter on any age of faces. This is a list on what they should/could buy. Evereden Special Delivery – Hydrating Bestsellers Kit LANEIGE Icons To Go Set Summer Fridays Mini Cloud Dew Oil-Free Gel Cream 0.5 oz/ 15 mL Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Visibly Firming Refillable Body Cream 8.1 oz/ 240 mL #Cetaphil

@szavz we can't change our Pore size but we can change the way they appear. Exfoliation is best. BHA works from the inside out. I only rec Paula's Choice. Scrubs can help helpful as well. I like Kiehl's, but it's too gritty for some. Clay masks are good for drawing out oil. I rec innisfree Super Volcanic AHA Pore Clearing Clay Mask 3.38 oz / 100 ml Good luck! Let us know how it goes.

Hi, if your new to makeup the est thing to do is start lightly and then slowly add more if you like. If you have acne you might want a tinted moisturizer. Personally I love Saie Slip Tint Dewy Tinted Moisturizer but make sure you get in your skin tone. A concealer for under your eyes, NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer just remeber to get it in your skin tone. Next if you want a mascara for your eyelashes I suggest Tower 28 Beauty MakeWaves Lengthening + Volumizing Mascara or ILIA Fullest Volumizing Mascara Classic Black . Now lastly here are two cheap and life changing lip balms Glossier Balm Dotcom Lip Balm and Skin Salve Rose and LANEIGE Lip Glowy Balm Berry Sorry for all the #s I hope this helped! Message me if you have any questions.
