This was an easy five out of five stars for me. I adore skincare that is free of added fragrances. I’m someone with dry leaning skin, so thicker creams like this one tend to be better for my everyday routines (especially in the winter). I deal with eczema of the face, so the real test for me and moisturizers is whether I wake up with flaky skin in the morning. I am happy to say I had no flakes after using this cream overnight! You don’t need a ton of this moisturizer either. A little bit goes a long way. Even just a bit more than a pea size was enough for my whole face and neck. I think you can do an even smaller amount if you have more oily leaning skin. It didn’t leave me feeling greasy after application which is also important to me. My skin still felt like it could ‘breathe’ with this cream, even though it was in the thicker side. Key ingredients are: glycerin, shea butter, jojoba seed oil, and panthenol to really help your skin maintain moisture. It also features rice bran and Centella Asiatica. It is formulated to help with oil balance, even though people with oily skin automatically think thicker creams won’t work with their skin type. Sometimes skin gets oily as a result of your skin actually being dry. The skin over produces oil as a result of it lacking moisture in your routine. So this may be worth a shot to add to your routine too.

I received these products for free from Picky and SKIN1004 in exchange for my honest review. The brand is pronounced “skin one oh oh four”, also known as 천사 (cheon-sa) which means Skin Angel. If you’re someone who loves minimal ingredient skincare, then this is a fantastic option! It only has ten ingredients. I love that there was no added fragrance. This came with tweezers. Plus a cap for an airtight seal to prevent these pads from drying out once they were opened. I also adore the fact that these pads left my skin feeling so hydrated after use. You can tear the pads down to size to fit your face better, I did this for my forehead. It features an amazing 49% Centella Asiatica/cica/tigers grass (this ingredient goes by all those names) to help people like me with a damaged skin barrier. I have dry leaning skin that also deals with acne outbreaks. I find that this ingredient often helps with both of those issues, which is why I love incorporating it into my routine. Overall these pads gave me results that I was happy with, and overall I enjoyed my experience with them. So I highly recommend these to others looking for a gentle toning pad to add to their routine.

I received this product for free from Picky and ANUA in exchange for my honest review. Please note that the picture of me is on day one of using the product! I’m still dealing with active acne because of the heat of summer. But I have seen products with niacinamide like this one help me with my post acne scarring with continued use. This is definitely a product that has a lot of ingredients that could be allergens, the first that comes to mind is the cocoa extract. So as always check the ingredient list before trying a product if you have known allergies! I fell in love with this serum so fast! I love the texture of it: not too thick and not too thin. There was no added fragrance to the formula. It features hydrating ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Ceramides, and Glycerin. Of course we can’t forget the star ingredient of niacinamide which is great for helping with post acne hyperpigmentation. I tend to have dry leaning skin, but as long as I paired this with a thicker moisturizer, I didn’t have issues with this making my skin super flaky. Just remember to wear an SPF when using niacinamide (although a lot now feature that as an ingredient, which could lead to too much of the product on your routine. So definitely stay on top of what ingredients you are mixing in your routine!).

I received this product for free from Picky and NUMBUZIN in exchange for my honest review. If blotting sheets never worked for you or you aren’t into trying out setting powder/makeup, this product is the perfect alternative! It instantly mattifies your skin and makes it look less shiny. So if you aren’t into the glass skin look, you can also combine this with other skincare products if you feel that they left your skin looking more oily than ‘glowy’. I love that you can mix it in with your favorite serum or cream, and it didn’t have ingredients that could interact with actives like acids or retinol. It does feature niacinamide though to help with post acne hyperpigmentation. Note that in my before and after, I only applied it to my nose and chin. I could have also done my forehead probably, but I knew I would be applying cream right after this. I chose to layer my skincare: serum, powder, then cream on this day. But it truly depends on what you’re looking for from this powder. I love that it compliments your routine, and it’s got more skincare ingredients than traditional powder makeup usually does. I’m definitely looking forward to continue playing with this product.

I’m usually someone who prefers spray products in my routine because they’re supposed to be easier to use. That wasn’t the case with this one for me, I did end up having to remember to shield my eyes whenever I use this product (because it stung like no other if my eyes weren’t closed tight enough during the spraying application process). I do usually enjoy spray skincare because it means you can easily re-apply throughout the day for an added layer of moisture without needing to make sure your hands are clean to pat the serum in. Because it’s such a fine mist, it dries easily on its own. Key ingredients include green tea (which is great for inflammation like acne), cucumber extract and rice extract for moisture. It does have a light scent to it as well due to which is another reason it wasn’t my favorite product. It was an average product to me which is why it’s getting three out of five stars.

I received these products for free from Picky and SKIN1004 in exchange for my honest review. The brand is pronounced “skin one oh oh four”, also known as 천사 (cheon-sa) which means Skin Angel. I absolutely adore the fact that this is a fragrance free SPF, so no icky lingering smell to this. And the texture isn’t thick or goopy. It’s nice and lightweight, so it doesn’t take forever to blend into your skin. I also didn’t have any issues with a white cast. As someone with more dry leaning skin, I still found this to be a moisturizing SPF option. I had no issues with dry skin showing through by the end of the day which is usually how I decide whether a moisturizer is good enough for dry leaning skin or not. Like the rest of the products from Skin1004, one of the main ingredients in this formula is going to be Centella Asiatica/cica. That is an all star ingredient that helps irritated skin, and I’m someone who deals with both dry leaning and acne prone skin. This is an ingredient that seems to help keep both under control. It also features tea tree leaf water which has anti bacterial properties, making it ideal to combat acne as well. Overall I was very pleased by this product.

I received this product for free from Picky and NUMBUZIN in exchange for my honest review. For those who may not know, Pantothenic Acid/B5 is also known as panthenol. I love the majority of the ingredients: hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, Centella Asiatica, and green tea extract. I also love the fact that this is a fragrance free product! This has a water like texture that absorbs super easily, and the Pantothenic Acid is meant to help with sebum/oil production which can also help people who deal with acne as a result of their oily skin type. I would definitely suggest this product and brand to others.

I received this product for free from Picky and ANUA in exchange for my honest review. I love that this is a lightweight oil, but I still felt that I needed to follow up with a second step when using this cleansing oil. This product did a decent job at breaking down my foundation/concealer. It also features some amazing ingredients like Heartleaf, jojoba seed oil, and Turmeric.

I received these products for free from Picky and SKIN1004 in exchange for my honest review. The brand is pronounced “skin one oh oh four”, also known as 천사 (cheon-sa) which means Skin Angel. My favorite thing about this product is that fact that there was no strong scent to the product. I also love that a little bit of this product goes a long way. As someone with dry leaning skin, I can definitely say this left my skin moisturized in the morning. I didn’t wake up with any dry patches or flaking, which is usually my basis for saying if something works for dry leaning skin. Key ingredients in this formula include Centella Asiatica/cica, which is fantastic for a damaged skin barrier (so for both people with dry leaning skin or those that deal with acne, and I deal with both), which makes up 72% of the formula according to the ingredients list. It also features glycerin to help your skin maintain moisture. I think because so little of this cream is needed, it could also compliment more oily leaning skin.

One of my favorite things about this product is the fact that it didn’t leave as much of a residue as most other cleansing oils that I’ve tried. So you don’t really have to double cleanse with this one unless you really want to. It did a decent okay at removing my foundation and SPF at the end of the day. My notes about the fragrance and makeup removal are in the ‘things I didn’t like’ section. Key ingredients: jojoba seed oil, Black Currant Seed Oil, and black soybean oil. Black currant seed oil helps with moisture and the healing process, making it a great ingredient to help with acne as well. Black soybean oil is meant to help dry leaning skin. Meaning this is a formula that is meant to help both dry and oily leaning skin. It may seem contradictory, but oils are often good for oily leaning skin as well. I have drier leaning skin, and this cleanser did not feel stripping of moisture at all. Even on the rare occasion that I did decide to double cleanse (I still often do this with cleansing oils, even though this one didn’t leave as much of a residue feeling as some other oils).

I received this product for free from Picky and NUMBUZIN in exchange for my honest review. For those who may not know, the main ingredient in this line is Pantothenic Acid/B5 also known as panthenol. This ingredient is great at helping promote a healthy skin barrier. So not only is it great for dry leaning skin like mine, but it can also help with excess sebum/oil production with continued use to also help with acne as a result of oily skin. Especially when you pair this moisturizer with the drying powder from the same line. It also features niacinamide which is a great ingredient at helping heal up post acne hyperpigmentation or post acne scarring. A little bit of this product goes a long way. But if you have more dry leaning skin like me, you can use a little bit more. I didn’t wake up with any dry patches, which is usually how I rate whether a cream is hydrating or not for dry leaning skin. It claims to give 100+ hours of hydration, but I never test those claims since I’m someone who prefers washing my face and doing my skincare at least once every 24 hours. But I can say it did keep my skin nice and hydrated in between washings. Lastly I love the fact that there was no strong scent to this product. So if you’re fragrance sensitive like me, you should be able to handle this product. At the very least I saw no added fragrances on the ingredient list. W
