I use the 0.5% retinol but everyone’s skin is different. I use this after my Cerave SA cream. I’m only 27 but it’s never too early to fight the signs of aging and uneven skin tone

Personally the coconut vanilla and lavender citrus are my fav scents! This deodorant got me through the postpartum stench, iykyk. No other deodorant would touch it but this kept me smelling fresh and clean!

Skincare products I love but don’t currently use
