My skin before using the product, it is dry and very red. I will be using The Inkey List on the right of my face (left in the picture) and The Ordinary on the left of my face (right in the picture) throughout the week. I applied the products every day but take pictures every so often.
Day #1
My skin feels very hydrated with this on my skin and sinks into the skin quite quickly.
Day #3
Skin is doing well, I have noticed a slight amount of peeling.
Day #5
I thought I would show you how much it makes my skin peel and I have to try to put makeup on, it is worse on my left side (right in the pictures) which is The Ordinary, the last picture is with makeup the others isn't.
Day #7
Skin feels good.

If you look at the list of ingredients The Inkey List has a lot more ingredients. I have decided since doing this blog post I won't be applying it in the morning because it ruins my makeup with all of the pealing.
Is it a dupe: Kind of
