Hello! I have this concern for awhile, I saw a lot of people swear and recommend to use retinol for better and glowing skin. My skin used to be so bad, you name it, inflamed acne, tiny bumps, I think I've also suffer from fungal acne at some point. Ok but now, my skin has become clearer, only few hyperpigmentation here and there, and I rarely got any breakout anymore which I'm grateful with. Thus I don't want to suffer from any purging caused by retinol. So is it worth it? or should I try other actives instead?

Should I try retinol?

I have bad history with hyaluronic acid because it makes me breakout consistently. So I try to avoid this ingredient as possible. Can anyone suggest any serum that’s good for acne hyperpigmentation that doesn’t contain hyaluronic acid?

Hyperpigmentation serum without Hyaluronic Acid?


🤎 the downside is that the packaging is not travel friendly as it's made of glass. and the scent of tea tree might be overwhelming to others

🤎 if I were to buy this.. this serum is actually a bit expensive 🤭

I've received this product as a gift from Picky and COMMONLABS in exchange for my honest review. Thank you for this incredible opportunity 🍀

💚 this serum has thick gel-like texture, at first glance it seems heavy but then it spreads and absorbs really well into the skin. Doesn't feel sticky after layering with other products.

💚 I can say it's the most calming serum that I've ever tried. It lives well to what it claims. This serum is a combination of the start ingredients like vitamin E, Gezola and 72% tea tree leaf extract that non irritating and calming, which is my skin love and seek for everytime it feels irritated. (helps a lot with calming down  hormonal breakout too!)

💚 If you suffer from breakout, excess sebum, or irritated skin, this serum is a must have in your skincare stash.  

Some people may not like the tea tree (?) fragrance

Hellooo holy grail! Love everything about this toner! Im on my fifth bottle because it&#39;s that good for my combination skin 😆💕 Quite thick texture but easily blended into the skin and doesn&#39;t feel heavy at all!  I&#39;m super happy with the prolonged result which calms down my skin, makes my dull skin smooth, a bit brighter and soothes acne too!

I would love to repurchase but this product is a bit pricey compared to other product with similar ingredients

I received this product for free from Picky and MIXSOON in exchange for my honest review. 

I like the straighforward no fussy product and this one delivers just that ✨ I am loving the cute packaging as well 🐻💗

Formulated with 100% Centella Asiatica extract knowns for its soothing and strengthen barrier, and hydrates your skin 

🐻 This essense has watery texture, and very faint scent.
🌱It quickly absorbs but it does leave slighty sticky feeling on my skin after awhile

🐻 My skin happened to be so irritated lately and so far this essence helps in calming down most inflammation on my skin. It also help speed up the process of healing my acne and acne scars that I got during my period cycle. I usually combines this essence with other product in my routine to maximize its benefits.

Hard to blend with my skin, it look so patchy after that (perfectly fine on my hand which is weird.)


I got the peach version. The texture is lightweight.

-Although other than that, I’ve yet to see it’s benefits to my skin from its promised ingredient
-Some reviewers mention that it has no smell but for me, out of sunscreens that I’ve tried, the sunscreen has chalky smells, but I got used to it after awhile.

I’ve received this product from @go.picky and @skin1004_korea in exchange of my honest review. I’m so happy to get to try their other product as I’m a huge fan of their Centella Ampoule!

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS SUNCSCREEN: 
-light and creamy texture 
-It blends and absorbs pretty fast but it tends to feel a bit feel heavy on skin if you layer to much product or when it’s hot outside. But my, my, I like the how this sunscreen gives glowy effects to my skin
