[@milca8344]

I’m a little confused as to how this is a “new” trend since I thought this is what everyone else with a good skincare routine has been doing already… Like I’ve always have nights where I do exfoliation and one for retinoids and it goes on a cycle 😮

[@bierangtamen]

I think a lot of people have been doing something similar (although I’m personally not a fan of skincare cycling). I know someone who does the “I put on whatever product my face feels like it needs that day” which ends up almost being cyclic and she has lovely skin

[@ami5968]

I feel exactly the same way! 🙌 because there's no way people are using all their products every night??

[@katkrol2706]

Exactly my thoughts haha

[@syren8323]

"New" trend is basically recycle old info and put it on tiktok as a hack and become viral.

[@rayliur]

I completely agree! I feel like I've been doing this for the longest time (bc I don't exfoliate consecutively or use retinol every night). I give my skin breaks by default... It's interesting how certain tiktokers "set the trend" for something we've been doing.

[@audrey9able]

I sorta feel like I'm skin cycling already. From what i understand, your routine and items change per day. As someone who has sensitive skin prone to acne and has aged and has become dryer over the years, that's several skin issues that I manage. My "default" skin care targets sensitive skin and aging. What's great is how certain skin care items do have gold standard ingredients that target several issues at the same time, alongside other ingredients that help my skin barrier so it tolerates the ingredient easier. When I break out, that's when I change to gently exfoliating with skin barrier moisturizers or a gentler, generic moisturizer

[@TheBiggestMoronYouKnow]

yeah, i can't do more.

[@lavayuki]

I've always done this, I have 4 night routines. Retinol night, chemical exfoliant night, my normal routine which is mostly hydration, vitamin c and using the Faded topicals treatment, and then sheet mask night with propolis serum and cream. I find it good, since you can't use all your actives every day without risking irritation

[@laurendaniels7528]

I’ve already worked my way up to tret 0.5 every other night. I won’t be going back to twice a week anytime soon. I agree with Fel that skin cycling is a great way to introduce stronger actives and stop over exfoliating. I like to say I use K Beauty for hydration (toners/essences), moisturizer and sunscreen but give me the stronger American actives in my retinoid and treatment products 😊

[@katherinegonzales6981]

Love to hear your thoughts on new trends!!! I have the same thoughts about skin cycling, whenever your skin feels like it needs an active ingredient then use one. 💓💓💓 love you guys !!

[@viviennewolf9181]

I'm so obsessed with the look of Ro's skincare cabinet! Love how big it is and so stacked! Gimme gimme. Love you gals 💓. I ordered a mini sulwhasoo cream; can't wait to try it!

[@charmbitten6878]

i've been skin cycling (i do a modified version of it, though) since april, and it has made using adapalene more tolerable for me. it definitely made my skin look better than when it was breaking out a lot.

[@moonflowersenna]

I just wanna say that I LOVE the aesthetic of your videos so much! So well edited and looks so crisp and cute. I do have to say I miss your studio though! Why do you guys never film there anymore? Did I miss something? Did one of you move? Love you guys!!! xxx

[@itstiahra]

I’ve been waiting for y’all’s stamp of approval for skin cycling. I feel like this will work for new ingredients/products I try out. It seems like this is something people already do.

[@mm-sc1sg]

Omg!! You guys know what I wanna know! I've been interested in skin cycling. I LOVE all of your videos

[@kylieschafers3080]

Hey beauty, I watch all your videos. I haven’t watched them in so long that when I watch with a live stream but you guys are amazing keep up the great work on educating about skin care.

[@theintrovertedextrovert]

I've never even heard of skin cycling! Thanks for being super informative as always. I have super sensitive skin and it doesn't love AHAs, BHAs and retinols...

[@kanchusi]

I love how you two so up to date with everything! I just ordered Beauty of Joseon Greentea serum and IUNIK gel cream. My face is very acne prone nowdays even worse. I have the BHA of paula's choice but I need more calming and good products that go well with acne. Hopefully it will work out :)

[@bella-to8hh]

Definitely a habit most people are familiar with, just putting a name to it. Personally, skin cycling lowkey terrifies me as someone who has never used exfoliants OR vitamin A, but ... this was still informative!

[@gioinlove100]

This might have been useful to me a few years ago. Skinflouncers like you and Cassandra Bankson or Hyram have already educated us enough to set up our routines. After 2 years of watching I am now on Tret every night, and I exfoliate 2 -3 a week with Peach and Lily Lactic acid serum. I have never glowed more in my life 🤩

[@amanda8107]

I'm skin cycling already but sometimes my skin needs a full week of hydration without any exfoliation. And exfoliating and using a retinol the next day is a bit too much for my skin.

[@KennTC]

No skin cycling for me! I agree with Fel you can incorporate hydrating serums in your day to day routine while using actives like exfoliating acids or retinoids. I even use retinoid same day of my exfoliating day. What i just do is instead of putting retinod after moisturizer, I'll add a petrolatum base moisturizer then a lower percentage retinoid than the normal percentage that i use during non exfoliating day and it's working fine with me. 🧡💛🥰😍

[@Christins8818]

Oh think I will try a cycle as well. Normally I use actives randomly but not consistently. What I always use are barrier friendly products. And my holy grail when my skin is pissed is a Ceramide rich cream (purito new one is one) together with two drops of Grapeseed oil (rich in linoleic acid, which is also very good for acne prone skin). This calms down my skin over night. I also love ginseng, cica, fermented extracts and combucha.

[@kendallstark4302]

Nope! If you can tolerate an active ingredient every day or night, DO IT!!

[@oliviaspring9690]

Also not all chemical exfoliants are the same. While something with super high percentages could only be used 2x a week. You might want to use a super low percentage everyday.

[@twielieng92]

I've been skin cycling for a few months now and my skin loves it! I'm very forgetful and most of the time I forget how many times a week I've used an exfoliant or retinol so I tend to over (or under) exfoliate. With skin cycling I just pick whatever exfoliant I like for the week and it works!

[@nicodranasien]

I do practice skin cycling - it worked really well for my hormonal acne prone skin but i sortof created my own customized cycle. Especially now that im pregnant and cant use retinols /retinoids, I do one night of exfoliation, one of oxidants (because you cant mix antioxidants and oxidants together they’ll cancel each other out!) such as the tower 28 sos spray and then seal in that with the Ordinary Copper peptides + buffet serum. And then the third night is like probiotics and ferments (such as the lovely Natto serum and the gingseng Beauty of Joseon Toner that Ro and Fel carry in their shop) So like, i guess i do and don’t skin cycle?? I keep to the three day cycle always but it’s not really the skin cycle trend that they talk about in this video so idk if im actually doing it right but it works for me. And when it works it works

[@jessicurry2010]

I kind of have a weekly rotating routine. It's not set in stone outside of a lactic acid serum Sunday nights and a retinol Monday nights. I'll exfoliate again some time around Wednesday with a gentler AHA serum then. Other than that, it's all about hydration. For daytime, I use the glow recipe watermelon tonger almost every single morning, moisturizer, and SPF.

[@hanna9410]

Definitely think this makes sense as a way to experiment to figure out what works for you and your skin. I'm working my way up to using tret (Dermatica) every day-I'm at every other night now. I use a soothing essence (Benton fermentation) as a base for tret or by itself on the off nights, and a nourishing moisturizer (obsessed with Purito's unscented) also keeps my skin from feeling dry or angry. I don't do weekly exfoliation because I don't really feel like my skin needs it, but I do use a peel (the infamous Ordinary one) once a month as an at home facial treatment. Almost 40 and still get carded, so my skin must look reasonably healthy

[@MsLoriKessler]

I do love the Purito unscented moisturizer!

[@pixi111]

hmm makes sense! although i’d like to use some active ingredient things bit more often

[@sarahcarroll8206]

Skin cycling is over complicated, for me. My routine is the same every day (mostly hydrating products, vit C in the morning and retinoid at night). Every now and then I add an exfoliant or take away an active, based on what my skin seems to need at the time. It makes more sense to me than trying to stick to a particular schedule.

[@callherlisa]

i hollered when Ro said she is traumatized by retinols because- same.

[@amaliaahmad283]

Never realised i used to do this when I incorporated retinol in my skincare routine. It kind of helped build my tolerance to the retinol at the time, so I'd say if you're really scared of incorporating active ingredients - then go for it. Now that I am planning for TTC, I removed retinol and used bakuchiol instead. But with bakuciol, I dont really follow the skin cycling.

[@serenity8910]

I'm already doing something similar to skin cycling. From Monday to Saturday, I alternate between retinol + AHA serums and BHA toner + serum at night. Sunday is my skin rest day. And in the morning I use a more hydrating/calming serum, but no actives. If I have a vitamin C serum though, it will go in my morning routine but I'm not really consistent with that!

[@clarissarendon2545]

Is there a video on Fel’s monthly routine because imma need that 🙏🏽

[@marinasaburova]

so i've been skin cycling (but maybe a tad tweaked) before it became a thing without even knowing it and its been great!

[@InfiniteFountain]

Can you do a vid specifically on ingredients to look for in Winter for dry/dehydrated sensitive?? I have a wood stove that saps alllll moisture and live in snowy Canada :)

[@olivieradams2575]

Hi! Thanks for all this good information. Is it ok to use this amount of different ingredients? I mean is it ok to use complete different products everyday or should we just change the active products? Thanks a lot 🙏

[@Sypriano_]

Any updates when you can ship to Canada again?! I need the Pure AM and sioris moisturizer. Along with the mixoon toners. And that chaga jelly cleanser!!!

[@NavilleT]

Ro is looking extra pretty here!

[@ZebstrikaGirl]

I began to try it! It seems to be helping but I'm placing my calming days in between. I was using the topicals faded in the day but it seems to break me out so Ro has sold me on getting the medi cube vitamin c for my PIH I have oily acne prone and im using this for my skin cycles: Medicube zero pore pads Paulas choice 0.3 retinol Medicube red line for calming, toner cleansing etc

[@abeertalsubaie]

I’m 28 almost 29 and not yet found my perfect skincare routine. I think that because I can’t stick to a specific routine, I have been only gone far for not more than a month 😅 Only adapalene is not cutting it for me anymore, been using it for over 3 months now and I feel my skin needs more work, but because of it being sensitive, adding another exfoliant is too scary 😅. I have thought about transitioning to tretinoin, but since I came across cycling method, gonna try it first and see what happens.

[@Fio0418]

my question is what products you are using besides the exfoliant on day one or the exfoliant on day 2? Do you just cleanse and put them on or do you still use a moisturizer with them?? But thank you so much for your videos! They are so so informative and helpful!

[@marycaroline9808]

so we only do this cycling on the night time routine? what about the day time routine? is it only moisturize and sunscreen? :)

[@sh823]

Hi can you use alpha arbutin from the ordinary with benzoyl peroxide?

[@MsLoriKessler]

Anybody have thoughts on the by Wishtrend cera ampoule vs Krave gbr? I feel like they would fill a really similar niche in my routine but I’m interested in trying the by Wishtrend ampoule…

[@ZaieN13]

I feel like skin cycling is personal. Like I've already done this unintentionally when I use my retinol most nights and then use my BHA products when I get breakouts then pause when my skin is irritated. There's no specific schedule but I adapt depending on what my skin needs that day. Btw I have combo sensitive skin.

[@NatalieG427]

Walmart sells the Peach Slices acne products now.

[@rosiemedina706]

I use the different gel and I have oily acne skin does anyone know a good moisturizer that will make sure my skin will be moisturize 😢 especially with winter my skin is kind of dry but I don’t want to break out and look oily!

[@ilovesan]

At what age could we start using retinol?

[@tbam73]

[@sunshineflowers9589]

I've been skin cycling & I didn't know it. 😅

[@ANCIENTS0UL]

What do you do on day 5?

[@lauralinares4125]

I am with Fel and Ro. Skin cycling is just a new social media trend. Stick to what you do if it works

[@NavilleT]

is the Paulas choice 9% really 9% BHA? I thought leave on products can only be up to 2%

[@charlotte_.x]

This isn't relevant to the video whatsoever but I recently bought the CeraVe foaming cleanser for normal to dry skin. Usually I'd buy the non foaming one because i'm aware that foaming cleaners are not usually great for dry and sensitive skin. The regular cleanser wasn't removing my makeup well, causing a few more spots than usual so I switched to the foaming to remove my makeup. My face has been feeling a bit more dry after switching to the foaming cleanser. Do you think this was a sensible choice or should I switch back? ♥

[@apieceofes]

I'd find a cleansing balm to remove makeup and the switch back to your old cleanser that does not dry out your skin

[@charlotte_.x]

@@apieceofes Thank you!

[@A.n.n.n.a]

I tried retinol once and a couple weeks and then went into get my brows waxed and the wax took a strip of skin off my brow. Never using a retinol ever again. That scared me for life y’all! So I guess skin cycling won’t work for me.

[@abngraley98]

I don’t know if you all will see this, but Ro should try the Avene cicalfate cream when she has dry patches. It has changed my life.

[@abngraley98]

I also want to hear your thoughts on the Missha Essence Sun SPF45 PA++++

[@BeautyWithin]

I shall let her know!! heheh thank youuu for reminding us, we've seen that cream floating around the interwebs so this was our sign haha - Fel xx

[@abngraley98]

@@BeautyWithin OMG HI!!!! It seriously is so effective. My face literally molts sometimes (rosacea, dry skin, all that) and that paired with the cosrx snail mucin essence has rescued me ❤️ it’s not my every day moisturizer but it is perfect for those irritated/extremely dry skin times

I do this anyway coz I use adapalene and tret

[@seen_a_cindy]

Is there a difference between the Paula's choice liquid vs gel BHA?

[@serenity8910]

The liquid is 2% BHA and the gel is 9% BHA. so the gel is more potent and it's more like a spot treatment. The liquid is more gentle and can be used daily as a toner.

[@seen_a_cindy]

@@serenity8910 I meant between the 2% liquid and 2% gel exfoliant

[@Emgee78]

Really don't get how skin cycling is a new thing? I do two nights of retinol, followed by a chemical exfoliant or peeling gel first thing the next morning then two nights of just hydration and moisturizer, then two nights of tranexamic acid serum + moisturizer, and then back to retinol.

[@ybs161]

But if you’re supposed to use retinol every day then how do you fit in a chemical exfoliant and a “rest day”?

[@TheBiggestMoronYouKnow]

the problem with this is that it puts you on a regiment, if you miss a day, well, it's another active's day....my adhd wouldn't allow me to be that consistent lol

[@fatimabarrera2103]

I have adhd and I've been doing it and I don't skip over a day I've had a fever for the last 3 days and left of in my last recovery day, I just started back up on exfoliate. The actual system may appear unfeasible but it's pretty flexible

[@SaReLaMo]

In my opinion, I don't think the effects of retinoids are at it's best when using it that seldom. And aren't we all skin cycling already? Just a different schedule? It's just another skincare trend with a fancy name. I prefer going by how my skin is feeling that day/night.

happy your safe what with that horrible tragedy in Seoul

[@tyresseferguson2462]

Most people already do this, the term is new but not the concept. Most people just say I alternate my actives a few times a week. I exfoliate twice a week when using a stronger product such as The Ordinary's lactic acid 10%. Then when I'm using the Good Molecules exfoliating toner (which contains 3% of glycolic acid) I can use 5 times a week. Nope I will not be doing this version of skin cycling.
