Trying to tailor one for myself. I don't know if you've tried the Innisfree 35 or 50 spf sunscreens but they're fantastic imo, and I believe I've a very similar skin type to yours. I get no white cast with the 35 spf and barely any with the 50, absorbs really well and a very slight scent that I find pleasant :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14321055661338910393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541982013000251431.post-57929498910437254732016-01-31T00:56:07.091-08:002016-01-31T00:56:07.091-08:00Great post!

Ideally, a pH-adjusting toner should leave your skin clean/bare, but with a lowered pH, before you apply acids as they are best applied to 'bare' skin. The Hada Labo is a hydrating product, so it is applying product to your face and boosting the hydration of later products, so it's definitely not leaving the skin clean/bare afterward. <br /><br />It can be used after actives and before thicker hydrating steps - have you seen my post about Putting pH Dependent Products in Order? The Hada Labo is a perfect example of the 'hydrating toner' type product. :) http://snowwhiteandthepear.blogspot.com/2015/01/skincare-discovery-putting-your.html<br /><br />I hope that helps! ^_^Cat Cactushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14052704885218633917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541982013000251431.post-905220685543147942015-09-02T11:06:37.511-07:002015-09-02T11:06:37.511-07:00I did!

Just curious, what kind of reaction did you have to the azelaic acid? It seems like your skin had a really strong reaction to it. I've been using pocketderm with 4% azelaic acid and the purging i'm going through right now is something out of a nightmare.
