how I saved my skin!!
kchiu
๐ถ Iโm in love with the CICA ๐ถ (lol)
but seriously, Iโm NOT kidding! It SAVED my skin!
If youโve been following some of my posts, you may know Iโve been using Tretinoin for approximately 8 weeks. Iโve also used a 15% Azelaic Acid cream and a strong benzoyl peroxide and clindamycin mix treatment gel interchangeably. Despite their cell turnover and acne-healing properties, these three products together have pretty much destroyed my skin barrier. Not to mention I recently spent a week on vacation, all of which was out in the sun. I donโt easily burn, but these products made me extra sensitive to the sun and my skin was stinging and inflamed and peeling. It really was not fun, especially when youโre just trying to enjoy a nice getaway.
I bought the LANEIGE - Cica Sleeping Mask

Product Mentioned
PM skincare for acne!
Hi friendsโค๏ธ in this post I am going to go through the products I use on nights that I am not using DIFFERIN - DIFFERIN Acne Treatment Gel
Step 1: First cleanse
I raved about theTHE inkey LIST - Oat Cleansing Balm in my other PM skincare post! This is one of my favorite products in my whole routine. Very soothing and removes all makeup! Did I mention itโs only $10 freaking dollars?!?
Step 2: second cleanse
GLYTONE - Acne BPO Clearing Cleanser
I just started incorporating a benzoyl peroxide cleanser on the nights I do not use differin because I have never tried benzoyl peroxide for my acne besides spot treatments. Spot treatments with BPO always burn my skin so I thought this cleanser would be a great alternative! It feels very hydrating and non stripping on my skin, it has 4.5% benzoyl peroxide. I canโt give it 5 stars yet because I just started using it, but I will keep yโall updated!
Step 3: toner
I never use the PAULA'S CHOICE - Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliator on the same nights I use the benzoyl peroxide cleanser. But I have loved this product so far. I focus this mostly on my t zone where I get a lot of clogged pores and it seems to be helping so far!
Step 4: moisturizer/mask
LANEIGE - Cica Sleeping Mask
I have been wanting to try this product for a long time because I have a lot of redness from active acne and scarring. I use it as a moisturizer/ leave in mask some nights and it is very soothing and hydrating. It can feel greasy if you put too much on, a little goes a long way! I am not 100% sure if I would repurchase because I havenโt had any drastic results and it is a bit pricey at $34.
Step 5: pimple patches!
I use HERO COSMETICS - Mighty Patch Original for Madewell almost every night on any white heads I might have and they keep me from picking yayyyy!!

help! eye product to use with adapalene
I just finished my first week on Tactupump (prescribed adapalene and benzoyl peroxide). I've read different posts about how to start adding retin-A safely - pea sized amount over whole face, avoiding eyes and mouth, every other day, removed other actives, spf, etc.
Overall I'm doing okay but just had a minor reaction with my favorite eye serum The Ordinary - Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG applied after 4 days and instantly started burning and caused redness/flakiness under my brows. I applied aloe but stopped using the serum and haven't had a reaction since.
AM routine:
- Norwex gentle facial cloth wash with water
- THAYERS - Rose Petal Facial Mist (want to replace but just using up the last bit as a base for serums)
- SNP - PREP Peptaronic Toner
- Osmosis Beauty - Rescue - Epidermal Repair Serum
- CeraVe - CeraVe Moisturising Cream
- Supergoop! - Play Everyday Lotion 50 Default Title or Supergoop! - Unseen Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 40 if wearing makeup
PM routine:
- DHC - Deep Cleansing Oil
- innisfree - Green Tea Hydrating Cleansing Foam
- SNP - PREP Peptaronic Toner
- boscia - Cactus Water Moisturizer soon to be replaced with LANEIGE - Water Bank Moisture Cream
- Tactupump 0.1% adapalene and 2.5% benzoyl peroxide topical gel every other day
- CeraVe - CeraVe Moisturising Cream plus The Ordinary - "B" Oil soon to be replaced with LANEIGE - Cica Sleeping Maskon Tactupump nights
Any suggestions for a safer eye product I can swap in? I need the extra hydration around my eyes and have morning puffiness and dark circles.

LANEIGE-Cica Sleeping Mask
Overnight soothing mask!
Have you ever fallen in love with a product at first use? For me, it was the LANEIGE - Cica Sleeping Mask This is an overnight replenishing mask that delivers intense moisture to help soothe redness and strengthen the skin barrier for healthier, less irritated skin. This contains Laneigeโs own forest yeast thatโs basically fermented and refined black yeast that was separated from green penny fern found growing in Jeju. This is supposed to provide an even stronger soothing and strengthening effect on the skin than traditional cica products that just contains only madecassocide. Other notable ingredients include squalane, glycerin, panthenol, shea butter, asiaticoside, madecassic acid, asiatic acid, tea tree leaf oil, and vitamin e.
This has a luxuriously thick and rich emollient creamy texture that just envelopes the skin like a warm embrace. I find that this doesnโt absorb fully so it creates a lovely moisturizing barrier thatโs not greasy to help prevent water loss during the night. I love using this when my skin freaks out from over exfoliation or when itโs just irritated and red. My skin always looks calmer, less red, and feels moisturized the following morning. Itโs like my little magical quick fix overnight mask. Something worth mentioning is that this does contain cymbopogon martini oil which is an aromatic oil that gives this product a very faint herbal scent. It hasnโt irritated my skin or cause me to breakout but itโs worth mentioning if youโre very sensitive to aromatics.
Overall, this is a fantastic overnight sleeping mask for those with dry and sensitive skin. Youโll love the results it provides to your skin the following morning. I much prefer this one over their water sleeping mask so I definitely plan on repurchasing this again in the future. Have you guys tried this yet? If so, any thoughts on it?

Laniege Cica Sleeping Mask
This is a reformulated version without added fragrance and specifically designed for sensitive skin. Iโm honestly impressed with this creamy, hydrating mask! Itโs great for those with sensitive skin and is designed to calm redness and tone down any inflammation. Iโm a fan!

Very calming sleeping mask

Laneige, Cica Sleeping Mask ($34 but price varies, Sephora, YesStyle, Amazon, https://www.octoly.com/c/hbv28/r/hb6dv)

โBeauty (โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ): This cousin to the water sleeping mask is for normal to sensitive skin, with cica (Centella Asiatica) as itโs star ingredient. The texture on this is a true cream with no fragrance, unlike the gel texture of the water sleeping mask which also has a slight fragrance. Overall, this mask did a great job of sealing everything in. Itโs fairly simple, so youโll need a hydrating toner (if you have dry skin) and actives, before applying this as your last layer. It plays well with all my other products, with no pilling or any other weird textural issues. Iโve also used this simply as a moisturizer, and it works great. I prefer this to the water sleeping mask, I think it does a better job of moisturizing the skin and love that it has no fragrance. It helped calm some breakouts Iโve been having, and making the area less inflamed. If you have sensitive or irritated skin, you might really enjoy this!

โBusiness (โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ, arguably not cruelty free): Laneige was one of the first korean skincare brands I purchased, arguably my entry into Kbeauty. Iโve tried a variety of their products, and most have delivered on claims and were leaps and bounds better than what I could find in the US market for the price point. In that way, itโll always have a special place in my heart. Iโm deducting points because itโs not cruelty free. I am not sure whether the parent company, Amore Pacific, is cruelty free either. Cruelty Free Kitty reports that the company responded to her inquiry that they are cruelty free, however consumers report that they sell in mainland China. As always, make your own determination to how you feel about these activities. โจโโโโโโโโจPR sample for review purposes
LANEIGE-Cica Sleeping Mask
Calming sleeping mask for my acne prone skin!
This has been my savior lately. I have got a huge zit on my chin which is red and there was a puss formation too earlier and this sleeping mask came to my rescue. It really calmed my skin and the zit and I could see a huge difference in the redness.
LANEIGE - Cica Sleeping Mask This is so so soothing to the skin and Hydrating at the same time. It's so rich and little goes a long way. You really need this life irrespective of any skin type. It's that good!!!!
Have you tried this one? What are your thoughts?
LANEIGE-Cica Sleeping Mask
What the heck is Cica!?
Cica is the short term for centella asiรกtica and itโs gaining a lot of popularity lately since itโs a soothing ingredient. Itโs for sensitized, damaged or irritated skin that needs calming. Itโs also beautiful for decreasing redness within the skin!
In particular this sleeping mask from Laneige has been very popular since itโs super moisturizing and comforting to the skin to wear overnight! It heals up popped or open acne marks and any dry patches! Win win :)
This is heavenly for me since I am so prone to redness, always scratch (๐๐๐) my pimples and am dry as the dessert! Iโll definitely be looking for more products with this ingredient.
