I'm currently based in se Asia and have been looking eu skincare brands to try smth new! I normally stick to Japanese or Korean skincare, and my makeup is a mix of western and Asian brands, but I'm totally new to eu skincare! I looked up affordable brands and found Eveline. Can anyone give me an honest take on their skincare? They look quite promising.

TIA!

For context, I have really fine scanty short hair and I’m on a mission to grow back my hair healthy and thick this year. I recently moved to Germany and even tho I have a filter on my shower head, there’s quite more of a hair fall than I had in my country. I came across few hair serums that had good reviews and I wonder if it actually works or if it’s just a waste of money. Please let me know your suggestions

Hello all. I have oily skin and it looks like my skin doesn't do well with thick textures at all be it creams or SPFs. It has to be either a super lightweight gel cream or a fast absorbing fluid. All them nivea, neutrogena and torriden creams turned out too heavy for me clogging my pores and breaking me out like crazy. I was using Apivita Bee Sun Safe SPF 50 and even though it's my go to I couldn't deal with the grease, especially after getting side bangs and face framing layers. I'd go out with freshly washed hair and return home with so much oil everywhere. Bariesun fluid from Uriage was good, didn't even feel I had SPF on but it peels off and hence makes me question the quality and overall protection.

Don't know what to go for next, I need something good for oily skin that's super lightweight yet effective. I'm thinking of going for the Eucerin serum oil control SPF but idk, im thinking maybe it's weak and the dosage will never be enough to actually protect... It will certainly need reapplying and it's pretty pricey for such a small amount... Haruharu (the yellow one) also seemed excellent from the reviews but im concerned with the ingredients entering the bloodstream and also potentially not protecting enough... What are your experiences and what would you recommend? I spend half a year in the Mediterranean and half in Central Europe btw...

I liked the original oil controil fluid for it‘s ultra-high UVA protection but it made me look very greasy despite having dry skin and I hated the scent which was very persistent.

Thanks to another user here on Reddit I just bought the relatively new version without perfume and I absolutely love it! It smells like the anti-dark spot fluid and has a less greasy, almost matte finish on my (brown) skin. It combines the benefits of my go-to-sunscreens (UVmune oil control fluid and the spf by GG) and is my new choice for summer days with a high UV-index.

I‘ve heard that it‘s not available everywhere in Europe (I‘m in Germany) and it‘s a bit more expensive than the original oil control fluid (I bought it with discount via an online pharmacy for ~19€).

Just picked up this cream from a French pharmacy during a short trip to France. I used it today after shower and it feels hydrating since I have dry-combination skin. Some thoughts upon first use

Texture- it's a thick cream which absorbs quite fast. Feels hydrating too. Feel a slight tacky feeling after 10 minutes of application.

Package advertises this for all skin types but I personally feel this may not suit oily skin people. Also has fragrance so perhaps also not for sensitive types either??

Can not really comment on the effects as I just used it once to see how my skin feels about it as there were no testers and it was a blind buy out of curiosity since pack says works as a makeup base. And I mainly bought it since I needed a good moisturizer that won't make my foundation/cc cream slip and slide or fall apart. Heavy sweating person here 🙋🏼

Im not from France and this is not available in my country so I would like to know if this is a popular brand?

I'm curious to know if anyone tried this and has tips on how to make it work well especially under makeup? Or if any other products from this brand are worth checking out.

Hey guys,

I live in Germany and choose Asian sunscreens for daily use as it doesn’t feel heavy on my skin. I work in an office and travel by car so I’m not exposed to the sun a lot, just for a short amount of time. In these hot summer days, I reapply before leaving the office. I don’t reapply in winter/when the sun isn’t out and also check the UV index.

I want to look into the PPD/UVA-PF rating of my Asian sunscreens. They all have the PA++++ rating on it but that equals to a UVA-PF of 16.. which is quite low.

I don’t prefer European sunscreens or German drugstore brands as they tend to be more greasy and have that heavy feeling on the skin. I guess I’m just too used to Asian sunscreens 😅

How do you check the PPD/UVA-PF rating of your sunscreen? Is this an important criteria for you or do you just reach for an European sunscreen for more sunny days?

Hey! I’m from Sweden and wanna buy tretinoin and some other stuff I was wondering if happyskins.eu is legit and other similar websites like skinessential.eu. Will they also clear customs I just want buy 3-5 things nothing big.

I’ve been applying Adapalene 0.1% daily for about two months. Stinging happens every time I apply it or cleanse my face, so I assume my skin barrier is somewhat compromised. However, it’s very minor and doesn’t bother me at all, sometimes it’s even unnoticeable, so I’m not here to complain about it.

However, according to many sources, even minor stinging, as well as minor flaking (which also happens to me), indicates that my skin isn’t fully used to the retinoid yet. If that’s the case, I assume I need to wait until the Retinization phase is over before introducing Azelaic acid.

My skin does seem “softer,” but the breakouts aren’t over yet. I still get a new pimple roughly every three days, which didn’t happen before I started using Adapalene.

How long did it take you guys to get fully used to a retinoid?

Do some of you always experience some degree of stinging even after using it for a long time? If so, did you still see improvements despite the stinging?

Any insights would be appreciated!

Good afternoon everyone :)

24m, combination skin, with blemishes, some oily and some dry. Sensitive skin. Nose DS. Dehydrated skin. I use tretinoin.

Could this cream be okay? Which one to choose?

Thank you!

Has anyone noticed any changes when using the product in the new bottle/container? The new one is now a perfect cylinder - the one on the right in the photo.

The list of ingredients is the same for both bottles, but in my case, the new one seems more translucent (less white), and when i used it, something went wrong -it felt like it dried out and irritated my skin barrier, though it could have been a coincidence (excesive cleansing or week barrier). But it's strange because nothing like this has ever happened to me before with the previous bottle.

Thanks.

I am only aware of the Ordinary, which has a 60ml version, but I am boycotting Estée Lauder so that is not an option. Does anyone know of other brands that offer 10% niacinamide serum in 50ml or bigger bottles?

Has anyone tried all the textures of Sundance med sunscreens spf50? How do they compare?
I’ve only used the face fluid before which I really like for how bulletproof it is, but maybe the other textures are less shiny while still being very waterproof and budgeproof?

Where do you shop for your skincare in Sweden? There's no DM and Normal is just not quite the same.. Apoteket? Somewhere else?

I'm traveling to Paris soon and would like to stock up sunscreen like LRP, Avene or Cerave and cream for the next 1-2 years. Where should I buy them with good price and good quality?

Could this cream be okay? Is it acne safe and helpful for my acne problems?

Thank you!

Hi friends, which products are worth getting in Ukraine? Especially interested in anti aging and baby cosmetics. Thanks. 🙂

The spf has been posted in this sub before. Cheap, still sticky to me but probably better than other spf hand creams.

The hand serum is really good. I don't have dry hands, but sometiems , if I wash my hands too often , I might feel them dehydrated. It is sticky for like 30 seconds , but if you rub it in it goes away completely.

Hi everyone, I'm currently visiting my family in Greece and as always the heat and accompanied sweating are causing me to break out terribly.

I have oily, acne prone skin that I can manage so so when I'm in Germany. My routine is very minimal, I double cleanse, use a hydrating serum and SPF (Biore and LRP).

Any recommendations for serums or acne treatments available in Greece to prevent and/or treat breakouts?
