Have you ever tried a powder cleanser 🤯? This enzyme powder cleanser is our new go-to rec for our acne-prone sensitive skin friends. The mineral sulfur, enzyme, and PHA exfoliant in this powder reduces blemish-causing bacteria for fewer whiteheads and blackheads.

Another find from new brand SINSURU 신스루 シンスル that we couldn’t resist. Had to bring this one to our community, especially for our acne-prone friends (and friends with acne-prone teens)!

Blackheads be gone with two different styles of cleansers that double as masks. For cleansers, you want to look for deep cleansing action that will remove blackheads, prevent them from forming, and minimize the appearance of pores in general.

Choose the Sinsuru Watery Sulfur Pore Cleansing Powder if you have sensitive or dry skin. Choose the Arencia Green Mochi Cleansing Balm if you have oily or combo skin and like a richer texture.

Social media has changed so much about how we buy and sell beauty today. We all are so much more knowledgeable (and often inundated) about what we want to buy before we even get to the store (or online shopping cart). Do social media numbers influence what you want to buy?

The food industry made us fat. Is the same thing happening with the beauty industry? Oftentimes, removing something is the solution, and it happens to cost $0, which is why no one in the beauty industry will suggest that. If you're experiencing issues with your skin, think less is more. Adding another serum may exacerbate the problem.

Ever wonder how a brand or product ends up on retailer shelves? We've been a part of lots of those decision points over our careers and have the battle scars (and the tea 🫖) to prove it.

En route to a beauty trade show to discover new brands and products, you're catching us mid-chat putting the pieces together to how a brand gets funded, created, and selected to ultimately end up on your face.

Let us know what else you're curious about in the comments below. We're feeling chatty 😉 ...

When you’re good at everything, you’re truly excellent at nothing. That’s how we feel about multi-tasking products. Checking lots of boxes, but not truly excellent at tackling any one skincare concern. Sacrifices will be made as a trade off for convenience. So to answer a common question we get, yes, you still need to wear sunscreen under your tinted moisturizer!
