Okay for some reason my image isn't being posted, the new ad thing at the top of the page is also getting in the way and the page keeps refreshing when I'm trying to retype.

But basically, don't use Calamine lotion as a primer, it can potentially cause permanent damage to the skin after continued use.

Thanks for sharing this and how can it damage it if you don't mind me asking.

It will dry out the skin severely and contains zinc which is an astringent and the high pH will break down the skin barrier. It was designed as a pharmaceutical product for short term use for things such as chicken pocks so using it as a primer which will be quite frequent will do a lot of damage and will take a long time to potentially fix the skin.

Zinc in products like sunscreen is okay though, they are completely different concentrations. Calamine lotion was not designed to be a cosmetic product, it is very potent.

Pretty much ever type of skincare product has some form of ingredient which helps to create a barrier to help the skin barrier, its essential to protect it to have healthy skin. Hoping this information helps, I'm still learning a lot myself.

Extremely impressed!

This is the first niacinamide product I have ever tried, I've always heard about it but I've never seen it in around when just browsing in shops in general. I found this one in Tesco and thought, I really need to try this. It states on the packaging "Instant visible results" which is a bold claim to make. After a few minutes on first application, I was actually amazed that the redness of my skin had gone down, leaving a more even appearance to my skin tone. It is recommended for better results that the Simple 3% Hyaluronic Acid + B5 serum is used before hand, which I dont have but I have been more...using The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 before hand and its really working a treat. I love skin care and over time most skincare I have tried has been great, I mean one of the most important things for keeping youthful skin is to keep it protected by not only wearing spf, but creating a barrier as well as keeping it hydrated, which most creams offer, but this really made a huge difference to the redness I get to my skin. I would highly recommend this if you get an uneven skin tone or pigmentation, I've never tried niacinamide until now and it will forever be a part of my weekly skincare routine.

Bought and tried a Niacinamide product for the first time yesterday and today, so far I'm absolutely loving it, really noticed the difference straight away using it after The Ordinary's Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 followed by the Filgora Time Filler Moisturiser! I'll review once I've used it for longer.

I passed my exams and will be going into my final year next year in Pharmaceutical and Cosmetic Science! 💜 So happy!

Doesn't create a white cast.

I was looking for an SPF 50 sunscreen which didn't leave a white cast, I deliberately went out of my way to avoid sunscreens with talc etc which typically cause the white cast in higher spf products due to the increase in their quantities within the products themselves to create the higher spf (hope that makes sense). Although a little pricey, I have to say I'm extremely impressed with this sunscreen as it allows me to wear a higher SPF without the stress of the white cast, it doesn't feel greasy and overall is a pleasant experience as far as sunscreens go. One thing I will say, don't get suckmore...ed into buying the face version of this, at full price it is only £1 cheaper for exactly half of the amount of product as this one and there appears to be no difference whatsoever, exactly the same ingredients, in the same order, implying that its just a smaller version of the same product. I really recommend overall, protect your skin at all times even if its not that sunny, add it into your skincare routine, UV exposure is not only dangerous, with a huge risk of skin cancer but also a huge factor when it comes to the appearance of aging.

Holy Grail!

I haven't had the urge to change out this eyeline since I first started using it over a year ago. Every time it runs out, I just buy a new one, I have it in shades black and brown. Brown is a little darker than I thought it would be but I do tend to stick to black in most cases and I have to say it's the best eyeliner I have tried. If you want a rich black eyeliner that doesn't dry out quick, go on patchy or flake, then I would 100% recommend trying this. The pen type application makes it easier to use other than the older liquid eyeliner pots which I personally think allows for more precisionmore.... If shaken, the product can dispense easily due to possible a small ball (not entirely sure as I haven't opened one up to take a look) inside where the eyeliner is, shifting the product to keep the tip from drying out. Definitely add this one to your wishlist if you haven't tried it yet!

It's okay.

I got the Fenty Breauty Full Frontal Volume, Lift and Curl Mascara as a part of a Fenty gift set. Honestly, it's a nice mascara and it had a great wand but I have had better results in terms of volume and curl from far cheaper mascaras. I will continue to use it and if I get any other gift sets with it in I would use it again but I will not be going out of my way to repurchase as for me I would like fuller looking lashes.

Would not buy again

A great staple in any skincare routine.

What I like about The Ordinary products is that they are straight to the point, simple formulations that work. I have added this in to my skincare routine recently as I felt like my skin needed a bit of hydration. I feel like this has really saved my skin. The hyaluronic acid or sodium hyaluronate is a great ingredient to incorporate as it draws water from the dermis through the epidermis to the stratum corneum which is the most upper layer of skin that we can physically see, and creates a barrier to reduce water loss. I feel like it's increased the appearence of my skin significantly for the more...price, I would highly recommend this product, as hydrated skin is happy skin!
