As someone who has really dry skin, I think one of the biggest misconceptions is that dry skin people cannot use chemical exfoliants. But the reality is, a really nice, gentle chemical exfoliator can keep your skin hydrated. We looked on the landscape and we feel like there just isn't a product that the PHA gluconolactone and lactic acid just is. But we cannot do this alone, because even though Gloria has dry skin, she is a bit of an acid queen, and I have oily, acne-y skin. So we ended up polling our chemist confessions community for those that deal with redness, sensitive skin, dryness, or just had a really bad AHA experience. To join in on this PD project, they helped decide the final prototype, which you see here. 30% gluconolactone, the PHA, and 15% lactic acid. Which sounds like an intimidating level, but rest assured, you have all instructions in front of you, and our community can back that it is gentle and effective. So, we're very proud of this formula. You'll have fun, enjoy, experiment. Put a drop in at night.

Yeah, so join us on the app Flip on Friday at 3.30 PST, where we'll answer all your skincare questions and tell our brand story. Yeah, so don't miss out on the live session. We're really excited. It's been a while, so check out the Flip. Hope to see you there. Bye!

Hey y'all, today I'm going to show you how I use chemist confessions with my combination skin. So I start off with cleansing my face with Blink Slade. I love this stuff because it's pH balanced, which means that it doesn't strip my skin. I'm a pretty messy face washer, so I got water literally everywhere. I'm going in with the Aqua Fix. I love this as a moisturizer. It's super lightweight and I mix it with the gold standard, applying it everywhere except around my eyes. Right now I'm going to be going in with Double Play, which is a face and eye retinol, but I'm just going to be using it around my eyes today. Just pat it on like that and I'm done.

We're cosmetic chemists and let's talk about glycolic acid today. Woohoo! Number one, it's commonly perceived as not very gentle, however, this is where concentration matters. So if you're sensitive, try starting at a much, much lower level. A 5% is a great place to start. You can also think of this as more than a chemical exfoliant because at much higher concentrations you're thinking of the 30% level. It can even fight fine lines and wrinkles. You just want to think about it as different ways of using it. For daily maintenance, target 5-10%. For that higher level of efficacy for your fine lines and wrinkles or even hyperpigmentation, use a 30% glycolic rinse-off mask once a week. For some product inspiration, check out Pixi Glow Tonic as a starter with just 5% glycolic acid you can use every night. Also check out this guy, Gold Standard, 30% glycolic acid plus 5% tranexamic acid as a wash-off mask. Don't forget your sunscreen. Please sunscreen! Please!

to keep around the specialist from chemist confessions it's 18% mandelic acid, 2% salicylic acid, and 5% niacinamide. Salicylic acid is known to help with exfoliation. It's a beta hydroxy acid that has an oil soluble characteristic to it so it can actually get into pores and keep them clear from within. Whereas mandelic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid kind of like lactic and glycolic acid and if you follow my page you know how much I love it. Due to its molecular structure it's a little gentler on sensitive skin than lactic and glycolic and it also has a slight oil soluble characteristic to it kind of similar to salicylic. So when you combine that with salicylic acid magic happens. It also has 5% niacinamide which can help a little bit with oil control. And though mandelic acid is a little gentler than lactic and glycolic 18% is still a really high level. I actually just apply this as a mask almost and then rinse it off after like 5 to 10 minutes. Hydroxy acids can also be great for everyday use just like I said not at 18% probably. So what I actually like to do when it's that time of month that I'm a little more acne prone is I just take a drop of the specialist and mix it in with my moisturizer. And I just use that as my everyday moisturizer.

Hey guys, so I tried this for the past two days, the Pro Strength Urban Skin RX. The toner, and I have like a to-die-for toner that I keep buying and buying, but I tried this as a free gift on Flip and I love it. It is a game changer. You see all of my like dark spots, a lot of skin coloration, but it was definitely worse the first day. Like even after two days, I can see it changing slowly and the feeling of it is just so nice on my skin, especially after putting on moisturizer. I've never tried this as a spot solution yet, but I definitely am going to for just certain spots that might need a little bit more work and I will keep you guys updated on that. But this is such a good buy and it's so worth it.

Time to update you guys on my skincare routine. I have been using this product right here. First of all, I love the packaging. This is by Pro Strength Urban Skin and it's an advanced day and night treatment. And this is supposed to help even out the skin tone, firm, brighten, and I will show you guys what it looks like. It has an interesting color and it just melts into the skin really nicely. I mainly use this at night after my serums, but I also wear it throughout the day and make sure to wear an SPF on top. It does have AHAs, which is more prone to sun damage. So make sure to wear an SPF or don't be out in the sun too much when you wear this product. So it's actually smarter just to incorporate this at night if you are scared of sun damage because it may increase the sensitivity in your skin. So just keep that in mind when using it.

I feel like it kind of instantly like brightened my skin a little bit. Okay, first time trying this Advanced Even Tone Day and Night Treatment. So you use this like a serum, you're supposed to put it on after you wash your face. It's supposed to brighten your skin tone, fade the look of dark spots, and firm the appearance of aging skin. First of all, look at the color of this thing. It's like a orangey brown. I'm just gonna dab it all over my face. This stuff is super powerful, so if it's your first time using it, they recommend only doing it once a day for a week, and then you can do two times a day after that. It looks like bright and dewy, but it's also tingling. Like I can feel it tingling my face just a little bit. So far, I like this, but I'll keep you guys updated after I use this for a few weeks.
