High point of my day lol
But seriously, thanks everyone for upvoting my reviews, I always feel very pleasantly surprised whenever I see the notification❤️

I feel so honoured 🥺🥺

Am I the only one that wishes that Picky would branch out to hair care as well? Or make a separate app for that? I would kill to get scientific information about haircare in the same nugget-sized but informative way that picky does skincare.

Hair care

I love masking but it's hard to find or make one that isn't super messy and leave my skin feeling hydrated, supple and brighter. Let me know what your favourite masks are(preferably not DIY ones, because I'm a lazy bum, but feel free to mention those too) and how they've changed your skin!

Favourite masks and the changes they've brought about to your skin

Like I said, it didn&#39;t clear the rest of my sebaceous filaments, which was my primary reason for purchasing this.

It&#39;s also far too mild for those who are used to chemical exfoliation.

Wonderful product for those who have never tried chemical exfoliation-extremely gentle, very mild and unlikely to cause irritation. I expected it to be a slightly viscous liquid, but to my surprise, this was very watery and hydrating.

After my first application, I didn&#39;t really have very high hopes, I thought I&#39;d have to wait a few weeks to see results, but to my surprise, I noticed that the harder sebaceous filaments(at least I think they were sebaceous filaments?) around my nostrils(where they&#39;re most congested) looked a little longer than usual. So I just rubbed them with my finger- and it fell out! It was such a mildly gross but very satisfying experience lol

That area of my face has been very smooth and clear ever since, although it hasn&#39;t helped with the remaining sebaceous filaments even after two months of regular usage(I use it once a week on my entire face and an extra time just on my T-zone).

I also noticed that the very occasional acne I get cleared up almost overnight when I used this, but I should add that acne usually goes away on its own in a day or two on my face, so maybe that was just my face doing its thing.

Did not cause any purging. Great value for money, a single bottle is gonna last you a long time.

Nothing really, but if I had to nitpick, I&#39;d say it pills a little when I put certain other products on top(this happened with both the Cosrx snail mucin essence and the it&#39;s skin li serum, maybe something about that thick viscous texture that both of those products have made it move around?). However, you can work it back into your skin and make it disappear again in like a second, so I wouldn&#39;t complain too much.

Oh also, I only layer this once at the toner stage but if you&#39;re one of those people that like to layer on a toner between each step of your skincare routine, this is not the product for you. Multiple layers of this would defffinitely end up making you look like a greaseball.

I bought this product on a whim when it was on sale because I was curious about it- not because I expected it to be amazing. Tbh I didn&#39;t even open the bottle for about a month after I bought it, the second I did, I wanted to kick myself for not using this sooner.

I expected it to be a thick, viscous fluid but it&#39;s almost like water, sinks in beautifully like a hydrating toner but once it gets absorbed into your skin, it feels so nourishing, like I&#39;ve just put on a light moisturizer. This is not one of those products that would give you dramatic results- what it does do is leave your skin looking healthier. This is just one of those products that make me feel happy about my skin and I think everyone should try it out at least once(although I&#39;m prettyyy sure you wouldn&#39;t be able to stop at one). 

Initially, I thought it was too expensive but I&#39;m happy to report that a month and half into using this extremely generously every day in both my AM and PM routines, I still have close to 80% of the bottle left.

Okay now this is the reason why I docked that last star, but this serum has such an oily finish that it&#39;s only fit to be used at night.

Idk if this is just me but I felt like I had to use more of this serum at a time than I normally use to cover my face and neck.

I bought this because it was on Dr Dray&#39;s best of 2020 list. While I didn&#39;t think the serum was as brightening as she claimed it to be, it did still manage to brighten up my skin. I&#39;ve been apprehensive of trying brightening serums so far because I was worried they might cause irritation but since this had licorice root extract as the brightening element, I wasn&#39;t too worried. 

This also contains polyglutamic acid which is supposed to have 4 times the hydrating power of hyaluronic acid, albeit at the surface level. Dr Dray recommended using this along with an HA serum as they work synergistically and I tried doing both- using it with an HA serum and then on its own- and she&#39;s right, it definitely works better with an HA serum.

This retails for around 900 INR which makes it one of the most inexpensive brightening serums I&#39;ve seen so I&#39;d say it&#39;s definitely worth a shot.

Oh and also, this has a slightly peculiar dropper with a bend at the end that I somehow loved? The serums&#39;s also viscous enough that you can drop it directly onto your face without worrying about it sliding down before you can work it into your skin.

Nothing bad, per se, but maybe the finish was a little too dewy for me? But that&#39;s just a matter of personal preference. For reference, I have an oily T-zone and I used this as my regular moisturizer in my AM and PM routines. 

Also, this might be too much for oily skinned people.

I&#39;ll be honest, when I first tried this product, it didn&#39;t wow me. Don&#39;t get me wrong, there was nothing wrong with it, but I also didn&#39;t find anything exceptional about it. But this is one of those products where consistency is key. 

At first look, this was just a decently moisturizing product with a rather dewy finish. But three months in, I noticed that for what must be the first time ever, an entire winter had passed without the skin surrounding my nose getting crusty even once. I also noticed that my skin looked far more even and glowy than it had in a while, presumably due to the high percentage of rice extract and niacinamide in this. So I&#39;d say this was a total win.

This is defffinitely only for people with normal-dry skin. My normal-dry cheeks loved it, but it made my T-zone look oily enough to catch the USA&#39;s attention.

I&#39;d also have liked it if they started using newer chemical filters.

As someone with a dusky complexion, I&#39;ve really struggled with finding a sunscreen that doesn&#39;t make me look like a mime artist when I apply the adequate amount. But this one was lovely- extremely easy to apply, very fuss-free, I could apply this even without a mirror in sight, very moisturizing, doesn&#39;t sting my eyes and has no white cast whatsoever.

Oh also, it&#39;s veryyyy vfm, you get a 75g tube for ~500 INR(~$7).
