I have been using this serum for over a month now (during my night time routine) and I can say that it helped with calming down my hormonal acne. Usually, when I have pimples it takes more than a week to heal. But when I started using this serum, I noticed that my pimples calmed down and did not leave a mark on my skin only within a week of using it. However, there are no significant changes on my sun spots. I think I have to use this consistently for a few more months to see visible results. My skin did brighten up thanks to the Niacinamide 5%. This serum can definitely be worn during day time as a moisturizer (for oily skin) since it also has Squalane which helps lock in moisture. I love how the formulation absorbs quickly to the skin. It has a watery gel-type consistency which feels lightweight and not sticky. I also love how the packaging comes in a tube with a pump. This type of packaging is more hygeinic and convenient to use. Although this product is dedicated for oily and acne prone skin, I still think that dry girlies like me can use this. Just make sure to top it off with a hydrating moisturizer and you're good to go! 💚 ᴏᴠᴇʀᴀʟʟ, ᴛʜᴇ ᴀxɪꜱ-ʏ ᴅᴀʀᴋ ꜱᴘᴏᴛ ᴄᴏʀʀᴇᴄᴛɪɴɢ ɢʟᴏᴡ ꜱᴇʀᴜᴍ ɪꜱ ᴀ ɢʀᴇᴀᴛ ᴘʀᴏᴅᴜᴄᴛ ᴀɴᴅ ɪ ᴡᴏᴜʟᴅ ᴅᴇꜰɪɴɪᴛᴇʟʏ ʀᴇᴄᴏᴍᴍᴇɴᴅ ɪᴛ!

This is probably my best serum of 2023. This serum is affordable yet effective. It brightens, helps even out skin tone, and makes the skin glowy and hydrated. I did not experience any harsh reaction when I first started using this serum. I use this day and night and make sure to follow with a sunscreen during the day. The runny texture makes it easily absorbed by the skin. It does not have a weird smell unlike most Vitamin C serums. It does smell like the normal ascorbic acid medicine which is bearable. I can tell that my skin became brighter while using this serum for just 2 weeks. I highly recommend this glow serum. Definitely one of my holy grails!

This moisturizer really lives up to its tagline "simple but enough". It's like a one size fits all in skincare. It is suitable for all skin types and can be used all year round. I love how it applies easily and comfortably on the skin because it is both buttery and lightweight. It has a cushiony, bouncy texture which feels like a cloud. Since I started using this moisturizer, my dry skin has never felt this hydrated. I even used this after dermaplaning and my skin did not react badly. After shaving, my skin usually becomes a little red and irritated, but this moisturizer instantly soothed and calmed it.

Perfect for the summer weather since it's not sticky or greasy when applied.

Disclaimer: I received this product for free from Picky and SKIN1004 in exchange for my honest review This sun stick is perfect for re-applying throughout the day. It has a satiny-silky finish which easily glides onto the skin. It can also be used over makeup without disrupting the base. To get the best protection, I normally apply four layers and rub it in to properly cover any areas I might have missed. This is perfect for all skin types since it is neither too dewy nor matte. It os compact and can fit perfectly in your handbag. Perfect for gals on the go!
