@SilleeMee I recall that you had tried some products from QRxLabs a while back and that you said you liked them. I'm particularly interested in trying the peptide serum and was wondering if you're still using and liking that product.

I believe @JeanLouiseFinch you also tried their products and I'd love to know if you're still using/liking them as well. TIA

I'm using the Squalane CE  but along with two other products am sending it back.  The biggest reason is I just don't know where in my particular routine to put it.  It's oily.  Oils block other products from penetrating and should go on last.  It's Vit C which is supposed to go on first. 

Also returning the Olehenriksen Peptide Boost product that Tati swears by.  Luckily I'm still working on the sample jar and haven't broken the seal on the larger box.  And, Rare Beauty's brow powder...I think.  I may just need more practice applying a powder brow product.  Yeah, I think I'll give it a few more tries.

Hi @Texasmouse   

I did use the Eye Reboot and the Eye Perfect Elixir for awhile, as well as the Peptide Serum.  The eye products seemed promising at first but when I tried another eye treatment (Hylamide SubQ Eye) from Deciem, the same company that owns The Ordinary, I didn't go back. The QRx peptide serum wasn't bad, but I've moved on and returned to using Skinn Age Reset.  I'm currently using the QRx Lemon Verbena Neck Cream.  I chose it because Amazon was unable to ship my Gold Bond Neck & Chest on time so I needed another option.  The QRx product isn't a miracle in a jar but I do like it.  It has a nice scent but it isn't overpowering and the scent dissipates quickly.  I've had significant success on a neck scar and trunk line with tretinoin. I tried the QRx Squalane CE serum and didn't like it at all. It was way too greasy for my taste.

Yes, I am still using the peptide serum from QRx. I like it especially with a drop of their Squalane CE oil cocktailed together. That gives me a nice glow, my skin feels hydrated and looks smooth. I keep buying it so I guess that means I really like the stuff.

The other products I bought from QRx are the Eye Reboot and the Glycolic Toner. The Eye Reboot is very moisturizing but it takes forever to absorb and dry down so I'm not using that any more. The Glycolic Toner is good but if you use too much at a time it feels a bit sticky/tacky plus I find my skin gets irritated if I use it too often, for instance more than once or twice weekly. Not sure If I will continue purchasing the eye serum or the toner.

I use the GA toner mostly for removing flakes plus it moisturizes my skin for a long time. But at the same time it can be a bit irritating and by that I mean it sometimes makes my skin red so I usually end up rinsing it off within a few hours after I apply it. By then most of the GA has absorbed so in a way I'm using it as a mask/treatment product rather than a true toner where you would leave that on all day.

@monicakm @What is your favorite foundation brush?

Nothing fancy.  You'll be disappointed.  I use one from Real Techniques and one from Ecotools,  both from WM.  The one from Ecotools is flat and works good with The Ordinary's serum liquid makeup.  Today I used RT200.  The RT200 comes in a set that I find useful.  

RT200...Firm Bristles Buff Liquid or Cream Foundation
