Dry/Sensitive

πŸ”» 𝗣π—₯π—’π—Ÿπ—’π—šπ—¨π—˜ I bought this cream when I saw review that this cream is perfect for someone who has eczema and dry sensitive skin, emm.. that perfectly described my skin, I’m all that. I’m sold! I started using this when my inflammation got worst and I want to know if this can reduce the inflammation, this review will be based on this particular aspect. πŸ”»π—”π—•π—’π—¨π—§ π—§π—›π—˜ 𝗣π—₯𝗒𝗗𝗨𝗖𝗧 β–ͺ️ Specifically formulated for very dry & sensitive skin types including eczema, but with a twist: it features HA and patented dual ceramides in addition to MLE giving the best hydration & comfort to compromised skin barrier. β–ͺ️ Atopalm MLE, HA, patented dual ceramics, squalene, mistletoe fruit extract, phytosterols, vitamin E, allantoin, madecassoside. Also contains Lavender, orange & vetiver root oils to supply a mood-enhancing aroma. β–ͺ️Jar, twist cap, 50grm, has a protection lid inside with spatula. I bought it RM60 (USD14). β–ͺ️ I use this both in my AM and PM routine everyday during my healing process. Basically, here is my routine in this particular order: - toner pad (Missha Artemisia) / Manyo Factory - serum (Iunik Propolis) - essence (Abib Heartleaf) - sheet mask (Beauty of Joseon) - moisturiser (Atopalm) {Toner pad changed to Manyo Factory (Bifida Biome Ampoule Toner) on the 4th day of this routine}. I decided to apply the Iunik serum first since the Abib essence is actually more viscous than the Iunik serum. β–ͺ️ I scoop 4-5 times to cover my forehead, both cheeks and whole neck area (there was an eczema reaction on my neck during this healing process as well). πŸ”» 𝗠𝗬 π—˜π—«π—£π—˜π—₯π—œπ—˜π—‘π—–π—˜ β–ͺ️A cream with very thick consistency and this is the thickest cream that I have so far. The scent, the nearest description would be it smells β€˜balmy’ or β€˜traditional Chinese medicine’. In my place, we have this Chinese shops that sells ginseng/ herbal medicine, we called them sinseh/ singsang, it’s like when you enter their shop and this is the smell that first greet you, you either like it or hate it. Since it is milder here, I kinda like it, it’s soothing to me. β–ͺ️I was so surprised to feel the cream on my skin! Despite the thicker texture, I like blending it taking my time, definitely need more effort to work with it. The finish, I can feel there is a thin layer on my skin that locks all the goodness inside. There is shine but not oily for my dry skin and no greasiness either. My skin looks supple and moisturise. The scent still lingers for a while and I love that I can sniff it after application. β–ͺ️I have inflammation on my skin and there was no tingling or stinging sensation, I was amazed and fall in love with it immediately. On my third day of using it, I noticed my inflammation is reducing and healing. πŸ”Ήπ™Žπ™€.. In summary, my questions that I had before starting using this cream are answered~ βž₯ Any tingling or stinging sensation? HELL NO! βž₯ Is it hydrating enough? HELL YES! βž₯ Does it reduce my inflammation? HELL DOUBLE YES! You heard the HG bells.

πŸ’š 𝗣π—₯π—’π—Ÿπ—’π—šπ—¨π—˜ I have eczema and the occurence of it getting trigger on my face anytime is normal and a lifetime commitment. So, what I want is to find toner that is mild enough to be used when this happen. I have bought a few toners that claimed it’s mild and safe to use everyday and my expectation goes down the drain after just using it the first time. Someone here in Picky recommended this toner and after I’ve checked the ingredients, there was no β€˜red flag’ with sensitive skin and decided to try it. πŸ’š π—ͺ𝗛𝗔𝗧 π—œπ—§ π—œπ—¦ β€’ A bottle of product that has a function of toner + ampoule which contains high concentration of Bifida Biome which shields the skin from external agressors. β€’ Boosting and hydrating toner, resulting in tones up skin and enhance absorptions of the next step β€’ It also has PHA - Lactobionic Acid (extracted from milk) to help remove debris and pore waste gently (PHA I like!) πŸ’š π—žπ—˜π—¬ π—œπ—‘π—šπ—₯π—˜π——π—œπ—˜π—‘π—§π—¦ β€’ 1000ppm of bifida ferment content (Bifida Ferment Filtrate and Bifida Ferment Lysate) β€’ 10 types of Hyaluronic Acid with different mollecular weights to penetrate into different layers of the skin for deep hydration β€’ Witch Hazel Flower Water - purify, protect and soothe the skin πŸ’š 𝗠𝗬 π—˜π—«π—£π—˜π—₯π—œπ—˜π—‘π—–π—˜ ✍🏼 𝘼π™₯π™₯π™‘π™žπ™˜π™–π™©π™žπ™€π™£ β€’ I use this both in my AM and PM routine daily, after I do my cleansing. β€’ I love layering this one. First, I’ll use a cotton pad, soak it and gently wipe my face. I considered toner as an extension of cleansing, I do this to every toner. Then, I’ll pour generously into my palms, press it on my face and let my skin absorbs it, I’ll do this 2-3 layers. ✍🏼 π˜Ύπ™€π™£π™©π™–π™žπ™£π™šπ™§/ π™‹π™§π™žπ™˜π™š β€’ I got a limited set that come with 400ml + 100ml bottle, the set price was discounted to RM97+ (USD23+). ✍🏼 π™π™šπ™­π™©π™ͺπ™§π™š/ π™Žπ™˜π™šπ™£π™© β€’ This is a clear watery liquid but it has some consistency, slightly thicker than water and from what I read regarding the product, it’s made to have an ampoule texture, that’s why I love using it because I can feel the β€˜ampoule-viscosity’ inside it. β€’ Scent wise - I didn’t detect any scent. ✍🏼 π˜½π™‘π™šπ™£π™™π™–π™—π™‘π™š/ π™π™žπ™£π™žπ™¨π™ β€’ It’s easy to apply and my skin just drinks it easily even with 2-3 layers. No stickiness or greasy feeling. ✍🏼 π™π™šπ™¨π™ͺ𝙑𝙩 β€’ To know if toner did something to your skin, try leaving your face more than 10 minutes right after you’ve finished your cleansing steps. I accidentally did it once, right after I went out from the bathroom, my kids asked me to do something β€˜mummy duty’, then after God knows for how long, suddenly I realised my face so dry + tight.. I look in the mirror and saw that my face was not wet anymore and I’m someone who don’t even practice towel dry my face!~ β€’ I’d let my bare face too long without protection! I quickly put this toner 2-3 layers and I waited for 3-5 minutes before continuing to the next step. Look in the mirror again, I can see my skin looks supple and hydrated, no more dry and tight feeling. That’s when I know this definitely do something for my skin apart from preparing my skin for the next step. β€’ But most importantly, it doesn’t sting! No other sensation and it didn’t make the inflamed skin becomes more red!~ a MAJOR PLUS POINT, yay! πŸ’š π—˜π—£π—œπ—Ÿπ—’π—šπ—¨π—˜ This product use PHA instead of AHA or BHA, which the latter, my skin can’t tolerate it especially in high percentage, I know this from a bad experience. Finally, I found the one toner that safe to be used everyday despite what my skin conditions are. So glad that I made this purchase!~ ✍🏼 π™Žπ™€.. You’re right, you definitely heard the HG bells.

Dry/Resilient

This was one of my first bee ampoule products that I tried and had absolutely loved it. I haven't been able to find another bee pollen product. It's scented and althought it's on the thicker, stickier, and gooey side making it hard to spread, I used it right after my toner or essences while my skin was still wet and that helped it to spread easier and thinner. Best way to apply it is to add a couple drops to your toner! I'm not fond of the texture (although I can make make it work) but I loved the glowing results it gave me... and it's very moisturizing, great for dry skin.

*2022 version* I love the texture of this oil-based creamy emulsion. It works like a cleansing oil, you apply to dry skin, it doesn't foam at all. But it has a much nicer and softer feeling than an oil. It rinses off really easily, and leaves you skin feeling conditioned and clean. It also has a lovely smell (kind of like gumball) - sweet and fresh.

I had seen and heard so much about this cult favourite, so I got my hands on the 100ml size on my trip to Paris for 14,50€. The balm comes in a pretty plastic tube and is easy to squeeze out. The texture is similar to a sunscreen that's on the thicker side and you really don't need to apply much product so it will last a long time. My skin tolerated it well and didn't show any sign of irritation etc. The scent is also subtle and contains no fragrance. As you can see in the video, after application my skin absorbed it well and it didn't leave a residue. Though I can only say that for the skin on my body; my face not so much. The balm aborbed so well on my hands or knees but not on my face I have dry, sensitive and redness-prone skin: apparently one of the target groups of the B5+ Baume but I personally can't see that it benefitted me. Every skin is different and I have heard and read many positive reviews so I wouldn't say to stay away from it. Just didn't work for me, so I stopped using it; for example my sister has combination + acne skin & 40ml version and didn't have the problem with pilling

Oily/Resilient

[ Can’t live without Manyo cleansing oil] This is my 5th bottle. If you are new to double cleansing and cleansing oil. This is the one definitely worth trying. Formulated with argan kernel oil and jojoba oil. This medium-heavy oil is just like skin wax. Heavy enough to massage without dragging my skin.Using this for years without clogging pores. Blackheads or whiteheads on the nose disappeared. With light makeup and sunscreen, this cleansing oil does an excellent job. After washing, wow, skin turns out smooth and fresh. No dry or oil residue feeling. The scent is mild and divine too. A bit of a combination of citrus and flower. This is the perfect product for me and I just can’t live without it. If you ask me what product is important in the skin care routine. I will answer without thinking, the cleansing part. This cleaning oil changed my life. The method I use: With 3-4 pumps and gently do an oil massage on the face. Be patient for about 5 mins, you can rub some whiteheads or blackheads out. Then add a little bit of water to your hands and massage again for 30 seconds. At last rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

πŸ’š 𝗣π—₯π—’π—Ÿπ—’π—šπ—¨π—˜ I bought it after watching EuniUnni youtube, the one where she use 1 sheet mask for 30 days and this was the brand she chose to do the challenge. πŸ’š 𝗠𝗬 π—˜π—«π—£π—˜π—₯π—œπ—˜π—‘π—–π—˜ ✍🏼 𝘼π™₯π™₯π™‘π™žπ™˜π™–π™©π™žπ™€π™£ β€’ I use this both in my AM and PM routine everyday depending on my free time. I use it before moisturizer and around 10-15 minutes top. ✍🏼 π˜Ύπ™€π™£π™©π™–π™žπ™£π™šπ™§/ π™‹π™§π™žπ™˜π™š β€’ I bought a box of 10 pieces inside for the price of RM41+ (USD9+). ✍🏼 π™π™šπ™­π™©π™ͺπ™§π™š/ π™Žπ™˜π™šπ™£π™© β€’ It’s a tencel sheet and the texture is very thin. It reminded me of β€œSome By Mi” sheet mask, but this is even better since it comes with a protection layer that hold up the sheet mask, so it’s easier to unfold and adjust it on your face without ripping or stretching the sheet itself. That’s a plus. Ahh β€œSome By Mi” should really do this too since I love their sheet mask as well. β€’ I didn’t noticed any scent. The essence/ serum is clear and watery with some viscosity, like a viscous toner. ✍🏼 π˜½π™‘π™šπ™£π™™π™–π™—π™‘π™š/ π™π™žπ™£π™žπ™¨π™ β€’ After the sheet mask is removed, I tap the remaining essence/ serum and this by far, I love the finish it gives my face, it didn’t leave tacky feeling like most of sheet masks that I’ve tried and once settled, it leaves a dewy finish on my skin, the kind of dewy that I like. ✍🏼 π™π™šπ™¨π™ͺ𝙑𝙩 β€’ During the whole experience 10-15 minutes, it feels comfortable on my face, has a cooling effect (I didn’t put in the fridge, all my sheet masks is placed at room temperature) and I just love that my skin rashes that I have during that time, doesn’t feel itchy, they just feel.. calm. πŸ’š π—˜π—£π—œπ—Ÿπ—’π—šπ—¨π—˜ My skin is calm and soothe, these are the main thing that’s important. Also, I think my skin looks supple as well, love it! ✍🏼 π™Žπ™€.. This will be IN my list β€œCalming Sheet Mask” and I’ll definitely re-purchase.

🌰 About this serum ❄ Contains 63% of ginseng root water, 3% snail mucin, niacinamide and lots of other natural and nonreactive ingrediΓ«nts. (EWG approvedβœ”) ❄ Claims to repare damaged skin, restore the elasticity and improve the appearance of wrinkles. ❄ fungal acnΓ© safe (😍), eczema safe, cruelty free, and free of alcohol, paraben, silicone, sulfate, fragrance and oils. 🌰 My thoughts When i got this and saw the ingrediΓ«nts i was happy right away, and had no doubt this would work for my skin! This serum contains a high number of ingrediΓ«nts matching my skintype😍 The serum is super lightweighted and aborbs quickly. I tried out a few different ways of applying and found out it was best to press the serum into your skin instead of tapping, then it felt less sticky 😊 After almost 3 weeks of using this serum i notice my skintone is brighter and my skin is glowing! The best off all is that my skin is still acnΓ© free, for almost a month! I can tell this products contribute alot in my journey of keeping my face clearπŸŽ‰.
