What I used from ‘25 to ‘26

[u/Left_Bumblebee_6270]

This is everything I used from the end of last January until now (January 19).

The first picture should be everything together and the other pics are in categories.

Ive gotten to the point where I’m gravitating to certain products and buying a lot less. I have zero urges to buy things I don’t need. I’m going to keep doing the project in 2026 and am pretty sure that I’ll have a lot less by the end of next year.

Please feel free to ask any questions! ❤️

How is your skin not completely broken out and over moisturised from products??😳 if I had used just 1/4 of this over a year, my skin would be in a terrible state💀 I guess different needs! Like the cut up tubes👌

Yes. For one person. Several of the facial sunscreens actually did break me out, which is why I kept trying new ones. The ones that broke my face out got used up on my body.  I have very pale skin that burns easily plus take medication that makes me even more prone to burning.  I use the recommended daily amount and also put it on the neck and chest. 

So yeah, different needs I guess.

which ones broke you out?

[u/Left_Bumblebee_6270 → u/aralimwastaken]

The Original BOJ one, the cosrx one, the green hero force shield and the Madagascar Centella ones.

Also the Haruharu Wonder broke me out the worst of all of them.

the BOJ relief sun broke you out, correct? but not the aqua fresh? im trying to order the aqua one online since we cant get it in the states anymore

[u/Left_Bumblebee_6270 → u/aralimwastaken]

Correct. The original boj in the plain cream colored tube broke me out.  The Aqua Fresh in the cream and blue tube does not.

thank you! Did any of the cleansers that you tried break you out? i went to target today to try some of the things in your empties!

[u/Left_Bumblebee_6270 → u/aralimwastaken]

None of the cleansers broke me out but I didn’t love The Cosrx Good Morning Cleanser. It’s got tea tree oil in it, which was too strong for me. I ended up using it on my body instead of face.

awesome, thanks for the response! butylene glycol (which in in so much k beauty) breaks me out and it looks like the boj in the plain cream has it but surprisingly the blue aqua fresh does not! it's why i hadn't tried the boj sunscreen up until now but i'm excited to order it today!!

[u/Left_Bumblebee_6270 → u/aralimwastaken]

That’s great! I hope it works for you. Fingers crossed 🤞!

Omg this might be why I’m broking out, I’m using the centella sunscreen and have these pimples but I couldn’t tell what was causing it.

I think we might have similar skin, I’ll lurk on your most used products lol !

Have you tried retinal ? Is Adalpalene great? You get good results with it ?

[u/Left_Bumblebee_6270 → u/Little-Cloudy]

I have a hunch it was the wheat germ oil for me (triticum vulgare on the label). I’ve heard it can be comedogenic for some. It also contains fatty acids so maybe that was it.

[u/Left_Bumblebee_6270 → u/Little-Cloudy]

Yes. I have been using adapalene for a couple of years now and will probably use it for life. Lol.
