Reti-A vs. Collagen @VT Cosmetics US Reedle Shot 100

Same reedle tech, two totally different skin goals

🔬Reti-A Reedle Shot 100
Powered by Retinol + Bakuchiol, this one’s for the glow-getters who want smoother texture, refined pores, and anti-aging benefits. It speeds up skin renewal, clears dullness, and gives you that “glass skin” vibe ,but stronger. Best for night use and those used to actives.

💗 Collagen Reedle Shot 100
Hydrolyzed collagen, milk protein, and vitamin E come together to plump and hydrate dry, tired skin. This is your go-to if you’re looking for bounce, barrier support, and a dewy finish. Great for daily use, even if your skin is sensitive.

🌿 Both use VT’s micro spicule (reedle) system to enhance absorption, like microneedling in a bottle, minus the downtime.

💙Which one fits your routine best?
🔄 Renewal or hydration?

Personally, I prefer the Reti-A Reedle Shot 100 because it provides gentle exfoliation while allowing the Vitamin A complex to penetrate deeply into the skin.

My scalp has been so itchy and flaky lately. It’s tough to find a good anti-dandruff shampoo that actually works and doesn’t dry my hair out. Most are super drying and don’t smell great!
The @vichyusa DERCOS Selenium Sulfide Anti-Dandruff Shampoo and DERCOS Hair + Scalp Moisturizing Conditioner get the job done, smell decent, and leave my hair feeling soft and bouncy!
.
I’ve used salicylic acid a lot in my scalp care routine, but I haven’t used selenium sulfide as often.
.
Selenium sulfide vs. salicylic acid for dandruff, what’s the difference?
Selenium sulfide targets the root cause of dandruff by fighting the yeast (Malassezia) and slowing down skin cell turnover, making it perfect for oily, itchy scalps and seborrheic dermatitis.
Salicylic acid, on the other hand, is a gentle exfoliant that lifts and removes flakes great for dry scalp buildup or thick scaling.
Pro tip: Use salicylic acid first to clear flakes, then follow with selenium sulfide to treat the cause.

If you’re dealing with an itchy, flaky scalp, give these a try!

Dehydrated skin = more visible fine lines! 💦 Keeping your skin hydrated with the right products helps maintain plump, smooth, and glowing skin. When your skin lacks moisture, fine lines and wrinkles become more noticeable. So don’t skip your hydrating serums, mists, and moisturizers—your skin will thank you! #HydrationIsKey #GlowingSkin #ByeByeFineLines

If you’re looking for that extreme glow before heading out to an event or that radiant morning glow, give this trio a try! ✨

@COSRX US
-The 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum has been my go-to for a lightweight serum that hydrates and plumps my skin. I love incorporating peptides into my skincare, and this product is packed with amazing ones!
• Snail Mucin Serum: This went viral a couple of years ago, and for good reason! It delivers intense hydration while giving your skin a natural glow. However, it’s a bit on the thicker side, so if you have oily skin, it might not be the best fit for you.
• Advanced Snail Mucin Glass Glow Hydrogel Mask: This transparent mask is my favorite! It also contains snail mucin and dries quicker than the Biodance Collagen Mask. In my opinion, it delivers an even better glow!

Why are transparent masks becoming so popular? 🤔

1️⃣ The Mechanism: These masks turn clear as they warm up and interact with your skin’s natural heat and moisture. This ensures they adhere properly and deliver ingredients more evenly.

2️⃣ Hydration Levels: Transparent masks, like hydrogel ones, get clearer as they transfer hydration to your skin—perfect for knowing when it’s time to remove!

3️⃣ Aesthetic Appeal: Barely noticeable and super lightweight, clear masks are perfect for multitasking without feeling weighed down.

4️⃣ Advanced Materials: Made with hydrogel or bio-cellulose, these masks conform seamlessly to your skin for ultimate comfort and effectiveness.

I’m using the @COSRX US Advanced Snail Mucin Glass Glow Hydrogel Mask, which contains 25% snail secretion to moisturize, enhance radiance, soothe sensitivity, and improve texture. It’s so easy to use and turns transparent in 2 hours. After removing, my skin feels soft, hydrated, and the glow is glowinggg! ✨

You will see brands coming out with these masks more this year!

Best Hair Oils: $ vs. $$ My favorite hair oils of 2024!

@Kérastase ELIXIR ULTIME Hair Oil
• Price: $62 / 75 ml
• Scent: Mandarin, cedarwood, and sandalwood musk
• Texture: Light, spreads easily
• My Thoughts: I loved the original formula, but this new version feels even lighter while still effectively taming frizz, conditioning hair, enhancing shine, and adding bounce. It’s a lighter upgrade that performs just as well!

@Saltair Body MOISTURE BOUND Hair Oil (Rich/Light)
• Price: $14/50ml
• Scent: Creamy sandalwood, sheer amber, and sensual musks
• Texture: Two versions are available:
• Light: For fine hair
• Rich: For dry and coarse hair
• My Thoughts: At just $14, this oil holds its own against many pricier options. The scent is luxurious and expensive-smelling, plus it conditions the hair beautifully, reduces frizz, and adds shine. A fantastic affordable alternative!

My secret to maintaining a healthy skin barrier is… skin barrier creams/balms!

Here are my current top 3:
1. @LaRochePosayUS Cicaplast Baume
This is my all-time favorite skin barrier balm because it works amazingly! What I love is that it’s an OTC product that helps with all types of irritation. It has a thicker consistency, so I only use it at night.
2. @AveneUSA Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream
This cream has a thick texture that works really well for sensitive skin—even for babies! I love using it when I have eczema. It contains C-Restore and Copper-Zinc Sulfate Complex, which are incredibly soothing and restorative.
3. @rhode skin Barrier Butter
This is a new addition to their line, and I’m loving it! It contains hyaluronic acid, ceramides, polyglutamic acid, and Murumuru Butter. What I like about this product is how rich it feels while still applying smoothly like a moisturizer. It traps water, making it excellent for hydration. I use it both day and night for my dry skin without it feeling too heavy.

Salicylic acid can be used in so many ways to benefit our skin!

I use the @Kérastase Symbiose Serum on my scalp to help with flaky, itchy skin.

The @The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 0.5% Body Serum is incredibly versatile! It’s great for treating bumpy skin, textured skin, itchy scalp, clogged pores, and body acne.

The @Murad Skincare Acne Control Pads contain soothing azelaic acid and 2% salicylic acid to tackle back and body acne. I even use them under my armpits!

I highly recommend adding salicylic acid to your body and scalp care routine!

One thing that has helped my dry AF skin look glowy and hydrated is using milky toners!
.
@byoma Hydrating Milky Toner is a lightweight toner that contains a barrier lipid complex, polyglutamic acid, and cica, which hydrate and soothe the skin. This toner provides medium hydration and is great to use in the morning. Suitable for all skin types.
.
The Ordinary Saccharomyces Ferment 30% Milky Toner is a gentle exfoliator with 30% Saccharomyces Ferment. It’s light and provides a little hydration, but it really helps with getting rid of dead skin. It’s non-irritating and good for all skin types.
.
Haruharu Wonder - Black Rice Probiotics Barrier Essence contains black rice and probiotics. It’s a thick, milky toner that provides extreme hydration! For my dry skin, I absolutely love this toner, but it might be too rich for oily skin.
.
Rhode Skin Glazing Milk has ceramides and beta-glucan. It has a rich, milky texture that moisturizes and soothes the skin. This is one of my holy grails!

Let’s talk *milky toners*—the underrated skincare staple! 🧴✨ Imagine the hydration of a serum, the lightness of a toner, and the glow of a moisturizer all in one. Perfect for sensitive skin, milky toners give you that dewy, lit-from-within look without feeling heavy. 🌸 Have you tried one yet? If not, let your skin drink up this gentle goodness. 💧 What’s your go-to toner?

I'm afraid of dehydrated skin. Dehydrated skin shows more fine lines, wrinkles, and texture. I find that hyaluronic acid works well for my skin. When it comes to hyaluronic acid serum, you don't have to spend a lot of money! You can find great hydrating hyaluronic acid serums at great prices, just like this @mixsoon Glacier Water Hyaluronic Acid Serum. Save your money! #hyaluronicacid #mixsoon #kbeauty #koreanskincare @mixsoon_official

Speaking from my experience, using retinoids is one thing that has significantly changed my skin. I started being very mindful about what I used in my early 30s. Now, I suggest everyone in their late 20s and early 30s use a retinoid product that they can tolerate and use consistently. With retinoids, it’s not about how strong they are; it’s about how consistent you are with them.

I know tretinoin is the gold standard for wrinkles, fine lines, texture, and acne, but I can’t use it consistently because it’s irritating for my skin. I prefer retinal instead.

I’m loving the new @paulaschoice PRO Retinaldehyde Dual-Retinoid Treatment. It has retinaldehyde and adapalene. Retinaldehyde is the closest to retinoic acid, and it works faster and is more effective than retinol for me. It doesn’t irritate my skin like some retinols do. Adapalene is a form of retinoid with many studies backing it as one of the best ingredients for acne. The texture is creamy and works well with other products.

Most people don’t need toners or essences, I get it; but if you want to take your skincare routine to the next level, a toner or essence is a must! Adding a toner or essence has been so helpful for my dry skin. I’ve learned to love my Korean essences and toners so much! I’m currently using the new @haruharuwonder_official Black Rice Probiotics Barrier Essence (Milky Essence), which contains a ceramide complex, fatty acids complex, panthenol, bifida ferment filtrate, black rice extract, and galactomyces ferment filtrate. It has a nourishing, milky texture that hydrates and moisturizes my skin. I am obsessed!

Why I love Korean Essence/Toner so much ?

1. Deep Hydration: Helps lock in moisture and keeps the skin plump and dewy.
2. Improved Absorption:Preps the skin to better absorb serums and moisturizers that follow.
3. Brightening:Contains ingredients that promote a more radiant, even-toned complexion.
4. Anti-Aging:Packed with antioxidants and nutrients that reduce fine lines and improve skin elasticity.
5.Calming and Soothing: Soothes irritation and reduces redness, perfect for sensitive skin types.
6. Lightweight Feel:Offers hydration and nourishment without feeling heavy or greasy.
7. Plus most are so affordable with amazing ingredients!

"The struggle of having an oily scalp and frizzy hair is real! I found these two products are the best to combat both. @K18 Hair Airwash dry shampoo is the best I've tried—light and not too gritty, but don't use too much, or it can feel gritty! The new version of @Kérastase Elixir Ultime is lighter than the original, smells divine, and tames frizz beautifully!"
