Top 5 skincare products that I rated 5โญ on Picky
I have a couple of reviews on this app which I gave 5-stars. It's not that I have really high standards but when I give a perfect score, rest assured it's something that I really love, and that I genuinely promote. So here's my top five 5-star self rated products which I'm proud to share. How about you, what are your top 5? I bet it's hard to choose especially if you've been in the skincare world for long, and that you've already have so much experiences with different brands. I myself have only been in this community for 2 years. I'm interested to know your choices too๐

Guava 70 Skin Toner Pad
I never expected that this product would be the one that would cure my eczema because I was just experimenting! I saw improvements on the affected area right away after 3 consecutive days of putting guava pads on it for at least 10 mins per day. And believe it or not, my eczema was cured in less than two weeks, and my skin was restored to its normal state like nothing happened. Wish I had had taken before and after photos to prove this but I didn't even want to look at the affected area before because it makes me so insecure, let alone take a picture of it.

๐๏ธ๐ช๐ณ๐จ๐ฐ๐ด๐บ. A soothing pack pad that contains abundant guava extract azulene, panthenol, and small molecule hyaluronic acid provides deep moisturizing and soothing to the skin. The formula is gentle and is suitable for all skin types. ๐ค๐ท๐จ๐ช๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฎ. Comes in a white plastic jar which contains 70 pads, and a tong to conveniently take out a sheet. ๐ค๐ฒ๐ฌ๐ ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฎ๐น๐ฌ๐ซ๐ฐ๐ฌ๐ต๐ป. Guava Extract (specifically, as what I've read from a source, 70% Jeju Guava Leaf Extract๐), which is rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that boost hydration, collagen synthesis, skin elasticity, and brightens skin tone. ๐ค๐บ๐ช๐ฌ๐ต๐ป & ๐ป๐ฌ๐ฟ๐ป๐ผ๐น๐ฌ. The pads are very soaked, they can drip a bit when you take them out of the jar. They are very soft and thin, similar to those sheet masks products. It feels very cool on the skin and as a very mild scent. It doesn't smell like guava like I expected tho. ๐ค๐ฌ๐ฟ๐ท๐ฌ๐น๐ฐ๐ฌ๐ต๐ช๐ฌ. I wash my face and pat dry. Then I put 3 pads on my face: one on each cheek and one on the forehead. I smooth out the pads and pat the remaining essence and leave them for 10-15mins to absorb. (I usually do this in the evening so I have plenty of time.) My skin feels very hydrated and plump. There's no stinging sensations, irritation, tightness, or whatsoever skin discomfort. It gives a luminous finish after using, giving the "glass skin" vibes.โจ ๐คAlthough I usually prefer using toners or any skincare products that don't need cotton balls/pads/sheets etc., for the sake of the environment, still adding this to my faves.โก

Aloe BHA Skin Toner
I am very picky when it comes to toners but this one is one of my three fave toners of all time! I even used to skip toner during my early days of doing skincare.

๐๏ธ๐ช๐ณ๐จ๐ฐ๐ด๐บ. Contains Aloe, BHA, Cynanchum Atratum, and Hyaluronic Acid to help moisturize, calm and manage a smooth skin texture by using it on the skin every day. It is a pH-balanced daily product. ๐๐ท๐จ๐ช๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฎ. Simple and clean design. Easy to see the content due to its transparent bottle. Easy to dispense content, just tilt the bottle and pour onto palm in a slightly shaking motion. ๐๐ฒ๐ฌ๐ ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฎ๐น๐ฌ๐ซ๐ฐ๐ฌ๐ต๐ป๐บ. โขAloe Vera - for soothing and moisturing. I guess we all are aware of the goodness and benefits of the aloe plant in so many aspects. โขBHA (Salicylic Acid) - for reducing sebum and acne control. Also contains anti-inflammatory, and anti-bacterial properties. Great for exfoliating. ๐๐บ๐ช๐ฌ๐ต๐ป & ๐ป๐ฌ๐ฟ๐ป๐ผ๐น๐ฌ. Scent-free! Clear as water but a little thick-ish than that. Absorbs easily, and doesn't leave a sticky feeling. ๐๐ฌ๐ฟ๐ท๐ฌ๐น๐ฐ๐ฌ๐ต๐ช๐ฌ. After cleansing, I pour an adequate amount on my palm and directly apply on my face and neck. One of the things I like about it is that I can use it without a cotton pad/ball. It doesn't leave my skin feeling dry and tight but also not oily or greasy. My skin feels fresh, plump, and ready for the next skincare step! I use it on my day and night routine. I've been using it for more than 2 weeks now. โVegan-certifed (The Vegan Society) โCruelty-free โAlcohol-free โEssential oil-free โParaben-free

๐ฆ๐ท๐จ๐ช๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฎ. I don't like throwing away the box because the design is just so pretty and looks so refreshing๐ It's my first time to use a product with such bottle. It is tube-like but comes with a pump dispenser and a cover. ๐ฆ ๐บ๐ช๐ฌ๐ต๐ป. Has a certain mild fragrance. But if you're like me who prefer fragrance-free skincare products, this is still a safe choice. ๐ฆ ๐ป๐ฌ๐ฟ๐ป๐ผ๐น๐ฌ. It's more runny or watery compared to most sunscreens (well, the name itself is water fit sun serum) so, its texture is really serum-like. The ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ๐ฐ๐๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ง๐ฌ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ง I've ever tried. Doesn't leave white cast or show white cast when sweating. Perfect to use for summer๐ ๐ฆ ๐ฌ๐ฟ๐ท๐ฌ๐น๐ฐ๐ฌ๐ต๐ช๐ฌ. I abandoned my other sunscreens and this is the one I'm using everyday. This is the sunscreen that I need the most especially that it's scorching hot in my country right now๐ฅต Two pumps would be enough for my entire face, ears, and neck. It's not sticky and doesn't dry out my skin. It also feels hydrating. I don't even put on moisturizer before applying this sunscreen especially when I'm in a hurry or just simply lazy. It immediately gives a 'glass skin' effect. Overall, it's included in my top 3 fave sunscreens. I give this 4.9โญ out of 5.

I like that the bottle design is simple yet it has a classy and elegant appeal. Very handy, easy to use, and seems to be made of high quality material. It comes with a pump and a cover so I have no problems of droppings and I could easily carry/bring it everywhere I go. โญ๐บ๐ด๐ฌ๐ณ๐ณ & ๐ป๐ฌ๐ฟ๐ป๐ผ๐น๐ฌ. Has a mild scent that reminds me of 'Biko' (a popular sweet delicacy in the Philippinesโก). It's a clear gel-type serum which is not sticky and doesn't have lumps. It feels cool on the skin. โญ๐ฌ๐ฟ๐ท๐ฌ๐น๐ฐ๐ฌ๐ต๐ช๐ฌ. Been using this for two weeks now. I apply this after my toner, both in my AM and PM routine. Sometimes, I only use this once (either AM or PM) because I'm also testing other products as well. Just two pumps and its enough for my entire face and neck. It's easily absorbed, very lightweight, and I don't feel any skin tightening, irritations, or stinging sensations. So far, I haven't seen obvious results or changes in my skin but I also have nothing bad to say about this product so I'm giving it 5โญ out of 5!

Vegan Sun Essence SPF50+ PA++++
My second fave sunscreen! And my only fave sunscreen when it comes to scented ones.โค๏ธ
latinanextdoor
โ๏ธvery lightweight, maybe a bit watery for some people but for me I like it the way it is. Literally the MOST lightweight sun cream I've ever tried, it's like I didn't put anything on my face at all! โ๏ธvery easy to blend, doesn't leave a white cast โ๏ธhas a light sweet candy smell. Although I usually prefer fragrance-free products, it's fine with me. โ๏ธdoesn't make my face sweaty unlike most sunscreens do on my face and it doesn't irritate my skin at all. โ๏ธJust the best sun cream for me so far. It's not sticky or greasy, nice packaging it's simple but elegant-looking, bottle is very handy it can fit my small purse, and it's 100% vegan.
