Brilio.net - Doctor-prepared creams often contain active ingredients that are effective in treating various skin problems, such as acne, dark spots, or hyperpigmentation. Some of the ingredients often found in these creams are retinoids (tretinoin), hydroquinone, salicylic acid, or corticosteroids.
Although this product can provide significant results in a relatively short time, there is one side effect that is not uncommon. The effect in question is that the skin becomes slippery and the use of makeup becomes easy to fade or collapse.
The main cause of this condition is changes in skin texture and moisture due to the use of active ingredients contained in the cream. For example, retinoids work by speeding up skin cell turnover and reducing oil production, which can cause the skin to become thinner and more sensitive.
When skin becomes thin, its natural protective layer is reduced, so the skin tends to lose moisture and become slippery. This condition makes it difficult for makeup to stick well, and the result is that it fades or shifts more quickly.
This condition often makes it difficult for MUAs to apply makeup to their clients. Therefore, special makeup techniques or tricks are needed so that the makeup results remain in place and are not slippery even on a slippery face. One of the tricks, as shared by a MUA with the TikTok account name @alken_wedding.

Just use clean fingers to blend the foundation. Avoid using brushes or beauty blenders, because they will make the complexion difficult to stick. After the foundation is evenly distributed, set the complexion using loose powder and a fairly large amount of pressed powder. Smooth it out by tapping and do not move it.
Not only that, make sure to do your makeup in a cool room so you don't sweat. After that, continue with the use of other makeup. This trick will help you get a more flawless and non-slip makeup even though you have a slippery face due to the use of doctor's cream.
