September Picky box arrived 💖

Hello everyone! Today I'd like to start a conversation on my first skincare line from back during college days - 𝗞𝗶𝗲𝗵𝗹'𝘀 skincare. 

In this post, feel free to comment down below if you've tried 𝗞𝗶𝗲𝗵𝗹'𝘀 and let the Picky community know more your experience! 

Here's a list of what I've tried 🥰

💙 𝗞𝗶𝗲𝗵𝗹'𝘀 - 𝗖𝘂𝗰𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗵𝗼𝗹-𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗧𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗿
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
- Recommended for dry/normal skin 👍
- Cooling and refreshing feeling after use 💧

💙 𝗞𝗶𝗲𝗵𝗹'𝘀 - 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 𝗧𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗕𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁
⭐⭐
- Pricey and didn't work for me. Was wondering if this worked for other people? 🤧

💙 𝗞𝗶𝗲𝗵𝗹'𝘀 - 𝗨𝗹𝘁𝗿𝗮 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗢𝗶𝗹-𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗚𝗲𝗹 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
- Even though this is meant for normal/oily skin. I found myself loving this! ❤️
- Not as hydrating as the normal version, but this doesn't give an awkward shine to my T-zone 🥰

💙 𝗞𝗶𝗲𝗵𝗹'𝘀 - 𝗨𝗹𝘁𝗿𝗮 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺
⭐⭐⭐⭐
- A great moisturizer for dry skin.👍
- I notice that it'll give an oily shine to my T-zone as I go on with my work throughout the day. Its unflattering 🤥

💙 𝗞𝗶𝗲𝗵𝗹'𝘀 - 𝗥𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗘𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝗸
⭐⭐⭐
- Not really recommended for dry, dehydrated skin as clay will strip more moisture from you 🥺
- This will work really well for oily or combination skin. Cleanses and minimizes the pores 💫

💙 𝗞𝗶𝗲𝗵𝗹'𝘀 - 𝗨𝗹𝘁𝗿𝗮 𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗗𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗨𝘃 𝗗𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲 𝗧𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗨𝗽 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗦𝗣𝗙 𝟱𝟬+ 𝗣𝗔++++
⭐⭐⭐⭐
- Make sure you wash your face after using this as it tends to clog pores 😖
- SPF that doesn't have the SPF scent, I bought it for this reason initially haha 🌿
- Has a whitening layer (because I used the Tone Up version), you can opt for the normal sunscreen if you don't like white casts 💖

And that is my experience! I hope you find this helpful 🥰 Full reviews are up on my blog (www.rubyonwings.com), if you would like to see it in video form, my Kiehl's reviews are available on my Instagram and TikTok (@rubyonwings) 💖

If I had to be super picky, I'd say my only complaint is the disc cap, it spits at me when I click it open 🤣 (legit bro, watch the vid). 

That aside, this product should definitely be one of the items sitting in your shopping cart 🛒 

𝗕𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗻 - 𝗦𝗻𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗕𝗲𝗲 𝗨𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗧𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗿
📦 Packaging – Plastic bottle with disc cap
💧 Texture – Watery - Slightly viscous
🌸 Scent – Fragrance-free

Say hi to my new holy grail toner 🐌🏆 Let's start with the wonderful ingredients list because oh my god it's so damn good! 🥴

The main ingredients aside, this contains Witch Hazel Water 💫, 7️⃣ types of HA 💦 6️⃣ types of Peptides, Niacinamide, Allantoin & Adenosine ✨ What more can I ask for in a toner for dry skin? 🥴

It has a watery consistency with just a tad of viscocity 🐌 which absorbs entirely into the skin and leaves you moisturized and hydrated 💦 

There is no tackiness whatsoever, which is quite surprising coming from a snail product, it gives such a comfortable finish! 🤩 

Goes well with any routine, beginner or advanced ✨ Suitable for all skin types (may want to patch test if you have fungal-acne), non-comedogenic and fragrance-free!

If you've tried this, please let me know your thoughts! And feel free to join me on this hype if you enjoyed it too! 💖🤣


One thing I notice right off the bat was the typical SPF scent 😂 It really do be reminding me of seaside and swimming pools hahaha ☀️🌊 After a few uses though I got used to it and could tolerate it, but personally not a fan of the scent.


𝗜𝗦𝗡𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗘 - 𝗛𝘆𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝗔𝗰𝗶𝗱 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗦𝘂𝗻 𝗚𝗲𝗹
📦 Packaging – Squeezy tube with pointed applicator
💧 Texture – Light cream
🌸 Scent – Fragrance-free (Strong, typical SPF scent)

This sunscreen has a minimal white cast that glides smoothly across the skin. Definitely more suitable for dry or normal skin types as it leans towards a dewy and moisturized finish 💧 

It performed very well for my skin type, being able to retain moisture fairly well throughout the day 💧 I'd recommend this to anyone who's looking for moisture and sunscreen with a natural, dewy finish ✨ If you have oily skin though, this might make you look a little shiny 👉👈

For it's price though, I really shouldn't be complaining about the scent because it's an affordable and cost-efficient choice ✨ But as a skincare reviewer, I definitely have better alternatives!


But as someone who has very dry, dehydrated skin, I still crave for more moisture 💧 But I doubt anyone will have this issue, especially if you have other skin types. 

Overall highly recommended if you're looking for a hydrating product to fit in your routine! 💖

𝗦𝗞𝗜𝗡𝟭𝟬𝟬𝟰 - 𝗠𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗴𝗮𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗿 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗮 𝗛𝘆𝗮𝗹𝘂-𝗖𝗶𝗰𝗮 𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘂𝗺
📦 Packaging – Glass bottle with pump
💧 Texture – Light gel
🌸 Scent – Fragrance-free (Natural, pear and melon scent)

Of all the SKIN1004 products I've tried, this is by far my favorite line ✨ I really love it when a product has a wide variety of ingredients that caters to multiple concerns, and this is one of them 💙

Love the elegance of the glass packaging, heavy and feels expensive 💖 The product itself is suitable for all skin types, providing a decent hydration boost 💧 Contains all the star ingredients as I've listed above, from niacinamide, ceramide to hyaluronic acid, all my favorites ✨

Non-comedogenic and lightweight, this has absorbs beautifully on the skin and leaves no tackiness whatsoever ✨

Effects aren't as prominent as stronger chemical exfoliants, but I still enjoy using it ✨ 

𝗕𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗻 - 𝗣𝗛𝗔 𝗣𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗿
📦 Packaging – Sleek bottle with pump
💧 Texture – Watery
🌸 Scent – Fragrance-free

I've had this peeling toner for some time but I didn't bring it out of it's box until a few months ago 😅 I'm someone who isn't very consistent with exfoliating my skin, which is very necessary for someone with dry skin, so this was a product that I'm glad I have in my collection ✨

The product itself has a watery texture and comes in a pump - I don't use a cotton pad with it and just splatter it across my face 🤣💦

The instructions say to use this 2-3 times a week, but I find this to be very gentle - no stinging at all compared to my AHAs 👍  As someone with resilient skin, I lean towards using it more often, maybe once every two days 🤫 

Of course, it's not recommendable to layer too many different chemical exfoliants at one go, be sure to separate them! 

The exfoliating effect this gives me is a gentle but efficient one, but not as prominent compared to strongers AHA/BHAs. So if I were to use this often, I'd only use my AHA/BHAs once a week. 

I'd highly recommend this to sensitive skin types that are looking for a chemical exfoliator that works for sensitive skin! ✨ PHA is made for you, but do still patch test before use! I find this to also work well for people who are looking for a gentle exfoliating experience 👍

The tackiness does not seem to fade throughout the day though 😬 You can feel the stickiness more if you use this on your body. But the pros about this? Is that you know the SPF stays put 😅

The scent of this will also take a little time to get used to, it smells like minerals, I think, it's a little hard to describe 😅 But it's not exactly a pleasing scent but acceptable. 

While I tend to levitate towards chemical sunscreens more, this one was a little bit... not what I expected.

Unfortunately, this is also not a non-comedogenic formula, and it also contains silicones that I don't really enjoy in my sunscreens. Overall, if I were to choose between the two, I'd definitely reach for the Cica & Aloe variation ✨ 

𝗝𝘂𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗼 - 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗛𝘆𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝗔𝗰𝗶𝗱 𝗦𝘂𝗻𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻
📦 Packaging – Broad squeezy tube with flat dispenser
💧 Texture – Milky, cream
🌸 Scent – Fragrance-free (Has a natural, mineral scent)

The packaging is similar to their other Aloe & Cica 🌿 sunscreen variation, it has a less thick texture compared to it as well. 

As a hybrid sunscreen, it has a very minimal white cast, barely noticeable! ✨ It spreads easier than the Aloe & Cica version, but it has a tackier finish compared to it.
