Any suggestions on how to fix SkinCeuticals products from pilling? Considering the costs, I'm a bit disappointed. I would think the products should work well together, but it's been a pretty consistent issue.

Here's what I've been doing

AM -

wash with Cetaphil

C E Ferulic

Hyaluronic Acid Intensifier

Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2

PM -

wash with Cetaphil

Tretinoin 0.05

Hyaluronic Acid Intensifier

Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2

Also- pm protocol- apply the HA acid 1st thing after cleansing. Thinnest or most viscus product 1st and so forth out to thickest product. Good luck

Agree - applying HA immediately after cleansing on damp skin works soooo much better.

You may need to wait in between applications to allow the different serums to penetrate, especially the tretinoin.

So my best suggestion- after washing, try pressing the products into your skin vs rubbing- that can help with product rolling up against skin. Also depending on your spf- try mixing your makeup with your spf-(if your makeup is liquid). And apply them together - then press a power over if desired. I hope this helps.

Are you sure it’s pilling and not dead skin? If truly pilling, agree with SMM to wait in between products to let each layer dry.

Thanks everyone, I'll try all these suggestions! I guess I assumed it was pilling because there were little balls rubbing off my face during the day, but it could be dry skin - that's part of the reason I went all in on getting the products in the first place.

What issues are you noticing with your skin?

Maybe your dead skin are just being removed while you do it. I am not an expert but it does happen every time I exfoliate.
