Hello, beautiful people of the internet. What's up? It's your Hisha. About three months ago, I started using two iconic active on my skin. Topical straight up, as well as right now, right now, from Felix. Today's gonna be our first update since it's been a little bit over three months since I've been using bird-to-face. If this is your first time seeing my face, my name is Likisha and all the Shaila Ibu saw this skincare, makeup, hair, and lifestyle-related videos, if that is something you're interested in, make sure you're subscribed. And without further video, let's get started. First, let's talk about the products that I've been using on my skin. Because these two active can leave the skin a little bit dry, I have been making sure that the other products that I'm using are very hydration and moisture focused. Now, let's talk about these. First of all, with the right now. So this is the Retinay Taturnoin Gel 0.04%. I have been using this one. It is a lot stronger than any of the other retinals that I've tried before. Of course, this one is a retinay. Because I was using a Daphylene for a year and some, I actually didn't even notice a purge using this product. Now, that's because I worked my way up to it. Now, if you were just gonna go ahead and start using this, you probably experience a lot of side effects that I thankfully did not go through, especially with the experience that I had using Retinay for the very first time and trying one of those way too strong for my skin. But this one, because I worked my way up, I didn't have any purging to it. If you want to know more about that journey and what products I would suggest using in the succession, succession, that I clicked the video of love because I talked about that before. And my skin is peeling a little bit around my nose and my mouth only because I've been using a peel as well, a chemical peel. So far, with my acne, it's been really nice and my skin has truly been clearing up so well. I barely break out anymore if I do it just like one or two on my face. My period's gonna come in the next week, so there's a little bit of a breakout currently. Other than that, we are good and I'm loving that. One other thing I'll say, I started using this on the rest of my body as well. So I am breaking out on my chest and my back. That's the only thing I've noticed. And I've never really used retina on those areas before. So if you want, you can definitely bring down your retina onto the rest of your body. I think they're an experience in a little bit more of that purging versus on my face, obviously, because I have never used retina on my body before. But I think it's really good. It lasts for quite a long time and the results are amazing. My skin is super smooth. I really been loving using this retina. So if you are in the fence about using retina on your skincare routine, let this be your sign to use it. Speak with your derm and esthetician or even phelix.com. They are partnered with dermatologist as well. So you can wander how little chat with them and see what they would recommend for you. Yes, love this too much. Now for the moment you've all been waiting for, let's talk about topical spated. So this product is packed with a bunch of multi-layered skin right-ners and torozenes inhibitors like cogeocastid, transmeocastid, melatonin, nice and wide liquor shrewt, and azalealic azaleac acid. This product specifically says not to use it with AHAs, BHAs, or retinols. Now let me say don't use it with. If you're going to be exfoliating your skin in the morning, this is one thing I did want to reiterate because I've got a couple questions about this. Just space out your products. So I actually use this three days in a week. Let's say I use this Monday Tuesday and Wednesday in the mornings. In the nighttime of those days I will use retinol for four days, giving me four days in total that I'm using these active ingredients, splitting them between morning and night. On the other days I will either exfoliate my skin with just a gentle exfoliator or cleanser. I'll use a peel or I'll just have a really nice non-active day. Just let my skin barrier replenish and cool down a little bit. Then I'll restart. I'm not using them together per se and I am giving my skin a little bit of a rest which I think is super important to do. But yes, I've been using this in the morning and I actually don't even use any other products with this. I'll just wash my face, let it dry down a little bit and then apply this, let that set. If I feel like I need a moisturizer I will apply it. Generally I don't. I just go into the black roll sunscreen, put that on and then good to go. Literally just two products in the morning and box set. And that is the best way I would say to use this. Before I was layering the hyaluronic acid before this, but I feel like it was creating too much of a buffer. This product really needs to touch your skin to work. So the least amount of layers that you can put on of other things will be the best. So just cleanse this and SPF that's it. In the evening I would cleanse, put on the hydrator because rep now specifically is very very trying. I'll put that on, kind of let it dry down a little bit, jaw down the rep now and then my moisturizer. But I hope that clears up a couple of your questions. So how is meskin actually doing? In terms of texture, tone, smoothness, I would see it's doing really well here. So here I'll put some footage on this screen. This is when I first started using the products in January. I think at this point I had used it for a month and so comparison to now. As you'll see the texture of my skin is brighter. It looks a lot smoother. A lot of the pigmentation I tried to dim the light a little bit so it's not getting too much in your face. But it actually looks really good. And honestly, some days I barely even noticed that there's any spots in my skin. I've had people compliment me on my skin because I barely wear makeup other than what I'm filming. So I've had a lot of compliments on my skin and I think that when you look at yourself in the mirror, not too often are you going to see that big of a difference because you see yourself every day. But because I spaced out the times when I did the footages, I actually do like what's going on with my skin. Obviously my cheeks are the place where the darkest part of my pigmentation is. So that is taking a little bit longer to fade. But you can see the comparison. I've got a pimple, I got a pimple on my forehead not too long ago. And you can see the difference in the pigmentation and how light the rest of my dark spots are. So so far I can say modest results. The skin looks amazing. Skin is really healthy. And even my aestheticians at the My Skin is looking really healthy as well, which was like the biggest compliment. So yeah, modest results so far. And I'm looking forward to see what the next couple of months will do. If you guys ever tried these before, right now the faded or any other pigmentation products that you are enjoying, please let me know. I would love to hear your thoughts down below. Go ahead and click on the here to see some of my previous videos. And as always, they go ahead and stay fabulous. And I'll see you later in the days and times in the next one. Bye.
