Hey,I would not add the Neostrata Matifying Fluide. Though it is a great product, it isn’t very aimifytng (I’ve tried it) so you won’t be getting much out of it since you are already getting pore cleaning/epidermal exfoliation from the AHA/BHA and the toner at night. If you did use it, it won’t affect the sunscreen’s efficancy as long as you wait 15 minutes before applying the sunscreen on top of it. The bigger problem is that using AHAs in the daytime can sometimes cause some sun damage unless you are wearing a good sunscreen with decent PPD rating (UVA protection). I personally don’t use AHAs in the daytime. I save all my exfoliation for the night.But if you are getting acne, then it is understandable and useful to use it twice a day. Is your acne under control with this regimen?What sunscreen do you use? The toner you use at night is pretty futile since you are using the AHA/BHA twice a day that alone is a great penetration enhancer. You don’t need the toner, and it is most likely just causing you irritation.

Looks good to me Randy! Isopropyl methylphenol has some ataibtcnerial components to it so it’s good clearing up p. acne bacteria on the skin.Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate is a derivative of licorice extract (a popular skin lightening ingredient) and it is very gentle. It does have anti-inflammatory properties just like pure licorice and Glycyrrhizic acid (another derivative of licorice extract). Especially at a low percentage of 0,05%Magnesium L-Ascorbyl-2-phospate is a synthetic form of L-ascorbic acid (pure vitamin c). Much, much more mild and more stable but not as effective at building collagen/lightening skin like L-ascorbic acid. Still it is a form of Vitamin C so it’s good.The Zinc Oxide is the physical sunblock ingredient and the rosemary extract is just a botanical extract (not a lightener). Rosemary extract, though it sounds like it would be anti-irritant can trigger some irritation in very, very sensitive skin types. But majority of the time it is a very tolerable ingredient.Judging by the sun protection in it, the 10% zinc oxide the PPD (UVA blockage) is very low. Probably around 4 or 5. That’s okay if you don’t spend time in the sun or are indoors a lot. Ideally I go for sunscreens that have a PPD of at least 8. CIBA is a PPD calculating site (it’s free) and you can calculate your PPD rating there (it’s not 100% accurate but a good site nonetheless).=)

I have a suggestion for Blisscovered… How about letting the customers choose 2-3 items (from your boutique) to be included in their monthly trial pack? I understand the cost aspect may be a constraint but atleast a couple of items which the customers would absolutely love to try may be included in the box along with others chosen by the blisscovered team?
