I bought Paula's choice bha 2% exfoliate. I used it just once & it broke me out badly🤢. I have mild acne & my skin is dry combination & sensetive. But it claimed that it will help with acne. What should I do with it ? Should I throw it or give it a try....But too afraid to try it again. Help me pls... is that ok to use it on your nose and mouth area or it can cause irritation.??

Love your channel and your insta!! I love having access to well researched and well documented explanations. I especially love that you are so easy to follow! And as someone who uses pubmed like Google I love that you treat skincare as science. I hope you're willing reconsider the use of "ethnic skin" as a description for essentially different shades of brown. I'm brown skinned and I live in Scandinavia. I don't know how often I have used similar euphemisms... But then I've been learning a lot over the past few years, and it has a lot to do with white skin as the norm. Ethnic skin, deeper skin tones etc. Ethnic doesn't really make sense as a signifier except in the context of historical colonialis and deeper than what? Deeper than white. I have changed my vocabulary to simply describing the colours. I'm brown, browner than you, but not as dark brown as my black friend. I'm not saying I know what's right, but it feels better and more correct. And maybe there's some word that does the same for you? Either way, respect your hard work and the in-depth analysis.

Recently discovered your channel and really love your clear and helpful content. Thank you! I was curious why you chose to classify all the ingredients of this video together as "acids," as I had not previously seen linoleic, ascorbic, and AHAs BHAs discussed in tandem (even though they are all acids). The reason I'm asking is because I'm considering putting together a lightweight skincare guide for some interested friends, and I'm wondering if you think this approach of talking about all acid ingredients together might be more intuitive than the typical classification by function? I'm so deep in skincare land it's hard to figure out what makes the most sense to a complete beginner. Thank you!
@LabMuffinBeautyScience6 жыл бұрын
I don't think it's a great classification IMO - I prefer by function as well, but a lot of beginners think that all acids are one big group and just want to know which acids to use ;)
