My Shelf Audit results ๐
I ran my shelf through CYoung's Shelf Audit (skin type: combination) โ here's the verdict:
"Your shelf is packed with great ingredients to tackle your concerns! You have excellent actives for breakouts and aging, plus plenty of soothing and barrier-supporting products. The key will be how you introduce and alternate your Adapalene and Azelaic Acid to avoid overwhelming your sensitive, damaged barrier. Listen to your skin, and remember consistency is more important than using everything at once."
โ Keeping (8):
- Innisfree - Apple Seed Cleansing Oil
- SKIN1004 - Madagascar Centella Ampoule Foam
- AE - Adapalene Gel USP, 0.1% Acne Treatment
- TIRTIR - Azelaic Acid 12% Serum
- Transparent Lab - Cu-GF Solution
- RoundLab - Soybean Panthenol Ampoule
- ZEROID - Soothing Cream
- RoundLab - Camellia Deep Collagen Firming Sun Serum

โโ๏ธ It seems to have cancelled ๐คญ
โขOrdinary - Multi Peptide lash serum โขBoots / Soltan - Suncare stick SPF30 that I use as my lip SPF
โขVaseline - that I use for everything and as a lip balm
What do you think? Do you find lip SPFs and lash serums unnecessary?

What do you think? Do you find lip SPFs and lash serums unnecessary?
Keep the lip SPF and Vaseline! The audit clearly only evaluated facial barrier care, but lip UV protection is so often overlooked and super important in my opinion. โWith you on the lash serum, though: have the same one and it gave me very underwhelming results ๐ I guess it is very personal! I have thin and short eyelashes and only prostaglandin products were working on me... But I dropped them! Your facial lineup is fantastic, though; ZEROID is pure gold for supporting your skin
@Mariacasino I was wondering the same thing about the lash serum as I can't see much difference, but not sure if I would see if my lashes got longer anyway? I'm trying to preserve my lashes a little bit as I use heated eyelash curler and waterproof mascara everyday but maybe I will go for Cosnori or Heroinmake one next, to see if I get noticeable results๐ And also love Zeroid ๐
Lip SPF is definitely not unnecessary. I use the Japanese, Rhoto Mentholatum - Creamy Lip SPF26 PA+++ every day since I work at home but I still need a SPF50 PA++++ lip balm. I was thinking maybe try the brand, โLipitโ. Nice shelf by the way ๐๐ผ
Thank you for letting me know @Paul . I want to test the Rohto one in future! And that was the only shelf that fits all of my products to make a decent picture ๐ skincare addict problems lol ๐คฃ๐คฃ
@lemon_skin I guess some people are blessed with thicker and longer eyelashes :D I am still using the serum, now I switched to KIERA Blooming Eyelash Serum (Clear), received as a tester and I prefer it over The Ordinary: it is packed with more nutrients and I prefer the applicator! It is a mascara wand with a soft tip, so I dab the product on my roots and then I apply it also as a transparent mascara! I will review it soon, I think it is a good alternative but I am not sure if it will help the growth and thickness of my lashes...It feels like biology is against me :D
The Kiera one seems to have better ingredients. Will add that one to my wishlist. Please do a post with review once you are using it a few weeks! Hope that one will work better for you ๐
Day 12 with Kiera today! So far so good with tolerance and the applicator. I use it morning and evening every day. The lash growth cycle takes about 6โ8 weeks to complete, so Iโll drop a full before/after review around week 8 (mid-end of October...ouch!)! ๐
I would be institutionalized if I didn't have access to lip balm. My lips are more sensitive/reactive than the skin around my eyes -- it's a sensory nightmare. Lip SPF goes on ASAP in the morning. MizuMi (Thai?) has a fantastic SPF50+ PA++++ lip balm that comes clear/unscented or pigmented if you can tolerate it. It was my holy grail until I trialed the CremeBalm Fresh Origin lip balm. I use both now because the CremeBalm doesn't have SPF but it's better at healing dry patches quickly. Lash serums are new to me. I'm trying to fill in and thicken my brows (Elder Millennial survivor of over-plucking here!) and generally support my lashes following mascara use. I've only used SKINFOOD's Salmon PDRN serum consistently, though I own The Ordinary (and poked myself in the eye with the pointy brush!). If you're seeing results and it's important to you, and the product doesn't do any harm, (and you're better at wands than I am) then keep it. It seems like the AI tool has a hard time recognizing products that have smaller packaging, lie horizontal, etc. which could ultimately be why those items didn't show up.
@hazelmoss thank you for recommending the Mizumi Spf lip balm! I want to try some more of them โบ๏ธ
