Hylamide

Every one talks about Niacinamide these days. I bought two hyped Niacinamide products, just to see which one is better. They are The Ordinary - Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% and Hylamide - Pore Control which also contains 10% niacinamide. Both of these products are from the same company. As for price, both of te 2 products are quite affordable. TO-$5.90 for 30ml Hylamide-$14 for 30ml Effects: The Ordinary Niacinamide focuses on minimizing the appearance of pores and oil control (it's especially suitable for oily skin), while Hylamide Pore Control focuses more on minimizing the appearance of pores and moisturizing (for dry skin). I almost finished them in just two to three weeks. Experience: Niacinamide irritates a little but it's tolerable, and it doesn't cause allergies or skin reactions. Hylamide Pore Control feels better and does a much better job at moisturizing and minimizing the appearance of pores compared with The Ordinary Niacinamide. I will definitely repurchase Hylamide Pore Control. I have dry skin, so the oil control effect of The Ordinary Niacinamide is not really useful for me. I prefer Hylamide Pore Control. Hylamide is originally a higher grade product compared with The Ordinary series of products. If you're after a better result and feeling, you can try buying the Hylamide or NIOD series of products, but if price is your main concern, try The Ordinary. I hope this is helpful, if you have any question, let me know🙂🙂

For upcoming reviews/blogging - INSTA BLOG @heyglowgeous Hylamide Pore Control is such an amazing serum - I use it every morning before I put on my makeup. I first spray Hylamide Pore Flush on clean & dry skin. When it dries, then I put on the serum. Once that dries I put on a light moisturizer. Then my skin is ready for makeup! It gives me the best base as it closes my pores and creates a flawless canvas! Give this routine a solid 2-3 weeks. You’ll see results, if not sooner!!

I recently purchased NIOD - Fractioned Eye Contour Concentrate[] because I ran out of my Hylamide - SubQ Eyes I like my hylamide subq. but it is frequently sold out and I'm not sure the results were really amazing after using an entire bottle over 4 months. I do feel like after a few weeks of using my fine lines were getting less visible and I saw more results then I did with hylamide. Unfortunately I had a huge setback when I tried a new eye cream on top of it and had a bad chemical burn from the new cream ( product discussed in my previous post). Well my skin has healed enough to start my face routine again however due to the damage I have new lines and wrinkles I now have to fix. So I will update my review on FECC after I have used it again. From my previous results I have very high hopes for it.

Hey y’all! Fall/Winter season is amongst us, and I can’t be the only person who instantly feels the shift in skin texture/tone, and especially dullness with the weather change. I’ve decided to toss my mediocre products, and start a new journey with THE ORDINARY. I’m the first to admit I’m SUPER anal when it comes to my skincare, but we all want close to perfect skin right? Disclaimer - this is my FIRST time using their products. I was drawn to their products for the mere fact that their online skin care professionals actually take the time to discuss your skin concerns, and what could work best for you. I wanted products that would be EFFECTIVE, but didn’t break the bank. & I wanted a line that offers DIRECT ACIDS & POTENT SERUMS. So let’s get into it! MY SKIN CONCERNS I WANT TO COMBAT; signs of aging - I’m 28 years old, and I would say I actually have pretty good skin. But I want to slow down signs of aging such as, FINE LINES/WRINKLES, CROWS FEET, ELASTICITY etc ✨ for this I use the Hylamide - SubQ Skin Advanced Serum, followed by Hylamide - SubQ Eyes. Peptides are CRUCIAL for preventing signs of aging dullness & faded dark spots - I use to break out quite frequently which often would lead to blemishes from acne or pimples. As of lately, I’ve been doing superb with these concerns due to another product I’ve been using (NOT TO WORRY, I’ll make a separate post) So for right now, I really want to maintain a healthy and even glow ✨ for this I use The Ordinary - Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12%. Along with brightening your skin & enhancing radiance, this helps stimulate collagen, smooth fine lines, & even tone/fade pigmentation visible pores - I have to say it, **YOU CANNOT CHANGE THE SIZE OF PORES** it’s hereditary. However, you can reduce the visibility by keeping those pores squeaky clean with great exfoliants/chemical peels to help regulate the production of oil & sebum ✨ for this I use the SERUM The Ordinary - Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%. This product also helps in brightening and strengthening your skin’s barrier. I also use a DIRECT ACID The Ordinary - Lactic Acid 5% + HAto help as a power duo, specifically in the PM, 2-3 times a week acne/blackheads/texture irregularities - ✨ for this I use a BHA The Ordinary - Salicylic Acid 2% MasqueONCE a week. This is great for clearing of any blackheads/whiteheads on the skin by decongesting & clearing your pores from impurities, which usually leads to those pesky breakouts SIDENOTE -> I’ve also started using their The Ordinary - Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solutionwhich is AMAZING, & I’ll be doing a separate post about it. I’ll be documenting my skin journey weekly, along with dropping some pics so you can see the progress (or not so progress). If you’d like additional info, or simply want to trade tips, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re in this skin journey together! Here’s to healthy & radiant skin 🤎

I struggle with super oily skin, and I’m currently finishing up week 3 of Tretinoin cream treatment so my skin is overly oily because it’s trying to compensate for the dryness the cream is causing. I purchased this Hylamide - Ha Blur a few months ago and finally decided to try it out. I’m really working on getting my skin to its best so I don’t wear makeup very often, but I tried this primer on my skin without makeup just to see if it can help my oiliness. You don’t need a ton of product to put all over your face, just a little bit will do and the product goes on smoothly. At first, it has this awful and strong chemical smell but it goes away after a minute or two. Ultimately, I think this primer does a really good job getting rid of the oiliness and shininess of my face, but my large pores are still pretty visible, which is somewhat of a disappointment. If you’re looking for something that’s going to control the shine and greasiness on your face, this is the product, but don’t expect it to fully blur your pores.
