General thoughts: It's working well for me right now! After my skin has gotten used to BHA then I hope to introduce retinol/retinal into my routine as well!

I'm very curious about this Geek & Gorgeous brand. They seem to be fragrance/dye-free and very economical! In particular, I see that their Happier Barrier product isn't in a jar and am off to purchase it lol. How are you liking their products so far? I feel you on the slowly introducing actives into your routine. When I first started tret, I was using it twice a week and still managed to end up with tret burns! These days I've cut it back to once a week at most and sandwiching it in between my other products.

I've been trying out a lot of Geek & Gorgeous products recently and for the most part I'm very happy with them! I would say they are similar to The Ordinary but a step better.

I hope you will like Happier Barrier! I thought it was a good moisturizer but I wouldn't mind if it was even thicker.
