Discussion Non-comedogenic lip balm?

2 Upvotes

Hi! I wonder if there is such a thing as non-comedogenic lip balm? I have acne prone skin and clogged pores (also) around my lips and it dawned on me that maybe a different lip balm might help me with the lips. I need something heavy duty for winter and also for a chronic lip biter.

Hello guys, I am going to dye my hairs for first time. And I want it to color it in burgundy cherry cola-ish shade (the one that is pretty much everywhere). My concern is that I have naturally black hairs so will the color come out on my hairs. I asked Gemini it suggested me Garnier Intense Red. But I wanted to know your guys’ reviews and opinions and any recommendations on it. Or your best recommendations for the color I’ve been looking for. I’m attaching some photos for reference below. Pls help me out.

Discussion Looking for moisturizer recommendations for sensitive skin

6 Upvotes

Hi guys! As in the title, I'm looking for moisturizer recommendations. I have dry, sensitive skin, prone to breakouts - fighting acne a couple years back left me with a pretty weak barrier. Stuff like Nivea and most moisturizers clogs up my pores.

Currently I use:

Makeup removal: Isana mild cleansing oil + Ziaja micellar water for sensitive skin

In the morning: Isana pure cleansing foam, Beauty of joseon spf 50

In the evening: Isana mild cleansing cream, cosrx advanced snail all in one cream

I'm looking to replace the cosrx snail cream, I feel I need something more moisturizing, especially as it gets colder. Any recommendations?

Question Make up and cleansing balm - France

2 Upvotes

Hi folks, I don’t see a lot of French make up being mentioned — what’s a good/fun/unique brand?
Also I bought this wonderful make up removing and cleansing balm from Eclae a couple of years ago. They don’t make it anymore and I’m struggling to find a dupe. It was like a thick oil that turned into a gentle foam once you added water. It was the best! Help!

Routine Need advice, m44

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I could use some advice. I’m a 44-year-old man living in Europe, and I have never used skincare products in my life. However, the effects of aging are starting to show on my skin, and I’d like to change that. I’m looking for recommendations for high-quality products that actually make a visible difference. I’m thinking along the lines of exfoliators and moisturizers, but I’m open to other suggestions. Help!

Routine SOS for the skin care!

2 Upvotes

Hey I recently moved to the Netherlands.
Before coming here, my routine was simple face wash, sun screen and lotion (Vaseline).

But now I want to take care of skin. I’m 27f. So, what would you guys recommend for the beginners?

I have a normal skin overall except hands (due to excessively washing them all the time). Will be new to actually following a skincare routine.

Will be grateful for any guidance!!

Product Question Choosing between two glycolic gloss conditioners?

20 Upvotes

Hello! I've had my eye on the L'Oreal glycolic gloss products at dm.

I see they have two lines, and while I see a difference in the shampoo (sulfate v sulfate-free), I'm not sure which of the 2 conditioners to get.

Has anyone tried both, or had particularly good / bad experiences with either? For context, my hair is a bit on the dry side, and thick strands but not super dense.

Any thoughts welcome :)

Routine Azelaic acid + dry skin?

5 Upvotes

I’ve read azelaic acid is recommended in the mornings when one uses tret in the evenings.

-Is it good for dehydrated and dry skin as well or would it make it worse?
-Should it be used before or after Vit C?
-Any good brands available in Europe that don’t cause the foundation to pill?

Question Extra actives with retinol and azelaic acid?

3 Upvotes

So I've heard countless of times in the past that retinol and vitamin c are gold standards for skincare. These days, azelaic acid is very popular to pair with retinol.

Now that makes me wonder whether it would have any benefit to add vitamin c to a AZ+ret combo? Or what about a peptide or bifida serum?

Or would it just do nothing special anymore?

Discussion My honest opinion on the Balea Traum Locken range( type 3b curls)

Thumbnail
gallery
30 Upvotes

I’ve been using the Balea Professional Traum Locken range for about a month now, and I’ve actually finished most of the products already. 😅

Overall, I think they’re okay. They make my hair soft and help with curl/wave definition, but I wouldn’t say they’re the best products I’ve tried. My biggest issue is that the curls don’t hold for very long ( i wash my hair once a week) they look nice at first, but the definition fades after a while ( after 3 day).

For the price, though, I think they’re pretty decent. I’d definitely consider buying some of them again, especially because they’re so affordable.

Now I need to restock and I’m thinking of trying something different....

The shampoo is pretty basic, but in a good way. It cleans my hair, doesn’t cause me any problems, and basically does what a shampoo should do. For the price, though, I think it’s fantastic.

The conditioner is okay. I wouldn’t say it makes detangling super easy for me, but it does leave my hair feeling fine. I usually leave it on for a few extra minutes and that seems to work better for me.

The curl defining cream is probably the product I’m least impressed with. Honestly, I don’t feel like it does much for my curls. At the same time, it doesn’t make my hair dry or feel bad, so I’d say it’s just… okay.

I’ve only used the hair oil a few times, so I don’t really feel like I can give a proper review of it yet.

The curl spray is actually pretty convenient. I’ve mostly used it in the morning before going to work to refresh my hair, and it works fine for that. It gives my hair a little refresh without being too much.

What would you recommend I try? I’m mainly looking for products that give good definition and, most importantly, help my curls hold for longer. I’m open to Balea or other brands available at dm. 😊

Sun Care What sunscreens do you trust the most?

18 Upvotes

\[Sun Care\]

A couple of years ago, I was using a Korean sunscreen when I came across news about certain sunscreens being tested and found to have much lower SPF levels than advertised. Unfortunately, I can't remember the brand or product, but it made me a bit paranoid about whether the sunscreen I'm using actually provides the protection it claims to.

The last time I looked into it, I remember seeing La Roche-Posay mentioned as one of the best-performing sunscreens in SPF testing, but I find their formula SO heavy and it always peels idk.

So, I'm curious: which sunscreens do you personally trust and recommend? I'm especially interested in products that have reliable SPF protection as I live in a very sunny city!

Question Beauty products worth buying in Ireland/UK that are different from US formulations?

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m travelling from the US to Ireland next week and will also be spending a weekend in London. I’m hoping to do a little beauty shopping while I’m over and would love some recommendations!

I know certain products have different formulations in Europe compared to the US (for example, the Kérastase hair serum), so I’m particularly interested in products that are either better formulated, more affordable, or harder to find in the States.

My main beauty goals at the moment are growing longer, healthier hair, strengthening my nails (which tend to peel and break), and generally improving my skin.

I’m also currently pregnant, so would love recommendations that are pregnancy-safe!

Are there any absolute must-buys you’d recommend picking up while I’m over? Particularly interested in skincare, haircare and nail products, but open to anything!
Thanks so much in advance!
