yeah i bought the shirojyun bc i remembered u had reviewed it positively!! but i didnt realise they overhauled the formulation so drastically 😭 im having pretty bad luck with a few recent reformulations smh why fix what isnt broke.. the price of the anua toner is seriously so alluring x__x also good to know re: viscosity of laneige v dr ceuracle thank u!! i dont really mind toner/essence consistency since my moisturiser is pretty thick already

lol if u do decide to take the retinol plunge i hope it works out for you!!! tbh the ordinary is probably fine for a first retinol experience anyway like i think the de one is quite strong.. but it Do be working ):
