i got a mirena that fucked my face up with closed comedones for a year, until i started using a bha toner in the morning and an aha cream at night. that shit took care of my face shit!

how else do people think sephora et al are covering the cost of all those no-questions-asked half-used returns that get thrown out??

i clicked over to sephora to look at the ones you mentioned and EVERY ONE OF THEM is sold out!

i totally believe in AHA toners/creams and AHA peels. but i couldn’t really say for sure that anything else i’m currently using is actually working.

if you have naturally good skin, then yes! but if you hormone-related skin problems or hereditary/genetic bad skin, you gotta do a little more than that.

i love the mandelic peel + a daily AHA - the only two things that have reduced closed comedones.

what brand of seaweed extract do you use? do you just add it at every application or pre-mix? i find the german nivea a little too think, so i only use it as a night cream, and i add a couple drops of oil to make it more spreadable.
