I did my usual evening skin care routine last night, ending with Perlier Youth Creator.  Waited about an hour before putting on my moisturizer and dang it - it pilled!  I hate when that happens.  I use the Perlier Royal Elixir moisturizer and have used it in the past and don't remember it pilling.  Or maybe I just didn't realize it.  If I hadn't looked in the mirror last night I might not have noticed it.  Although, I did feel it on my face and thats why I looked in the mirror.  Anyway, I googled what causes pilling and am almost certain its the combo of the RE Youth Creator and this moisturizer. You would think since they are both Royal Elixir products that they would be fine together.  Have this moisturizer on AS too.  So now I'm on the hunt for a new night cream.  

Think I'll try the Cetaphil Healthy Renew Night cream.  

On top of the above, I was taking off my eye makeup and ended up spilling about 2/3rds of a bottle of my Neutrogena Oil Free Eye Makeup Remover.  Guess I'll order another one of those when I order the Cetaphil.

I accidentally bought a large elf primer in a green bottle thinking it was the green primer. It ended up being the normal primer and that happened to me. The green one never did that. I was not happy either.

I think either the wrong combo or too many layers of products even if it's thin serums can cause pilling. Recently, I experienced pilling in the am that was caused by Essence. Once I removed it from my regime, no more pilling. Now I only use Essence in the pm.

@Calibeach - I agree about the too many layers.  However, last night all I used was the PTR retinol, let it sit for a few minutes, then did the Perlier Youth Creator.  Let all of that sit for an hour, then applied the moisturizer.  I'm not giving up the Perlier Youth Creator so will try a new moisturizer first before I decide what to do next.

@JudyL - have you been using that combo for awhile? I like the PTR retinol but I only use it for neck down. It has an oily texture and I didn't like it for my face. I especially love the PTR retinol for arms and legs.

@Calibeach  - Yes, have been using the PTR retinol for about 6 months. Have been using the Perlier YC before the PTR.
