Best praise vs top criticism for Good Molecules Niacinamide Brightening Toner
“You can’t fix your skin type, you simply learn what it needs. I would definitely wash twice daily, and try a light, water based moisturizer. A cleanser with salicylic acid can help to reduce sebum present, and niacinamide can help to regulate oil production. I highly recommend Paula’s Choice Niacinamide Toner. For texture, a good exfoliant can help. I really like Dermalogica’s Microfoliant, but Paula’s Choice has some amazing options at a lower price. One think to note about acneic skin is that, as a general rule, it produces tons of skin cells very quickly, but doesn’t shed them properly, so regular (gentle) exfoliation is very important to help your skin function properly.”
“Anything containing AHA/BHA/PHAs I'd avoid in the same routine and probably the same day just for safety whatever the product, so no brightening toner, clarifying serum or retinol oil. I normally use the Vital Baby Aquaint hypochlorous acid from Boots but I saw this in Home Bargains the other day and I was curious. I'll give it a try, thanks!”
