Bifida Biome Ampoule Toner
august.serenade
๐ ๐ฃ๐ฅ๐ข๐๐ข๐๐จ๐ 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 itโs 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 Iโve checked the ingredients, there was no โred flagโ with sensitive skin and decided to try it. ๐ ๐ช๐๐๐ง ๐๐ง ๐๐ฆ โข 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. โข Boosting and hydrating toner, resulting in tones up skin and enhance absorptions of the next step โข It also has PHA - Lactobionic Acid (extracted from milk) to help remove debris and pore waste gently (PHA I like!) ๐ ๐๐๐ฌ ๐๐ก๐๐ฅ๐๐๐๐๐ก๐ง๐ฆ โข 1000ppm of bifida ferment content (Bifida Ferment Filtrate and Bifida Ferment Lysate) โข 10 types of Hyaluronic Acid with different mollecular weights to penetrate into different layers of the skin for deep hydration โข Witch Hazel Flower Water - purify, protect and soothe the skin ๐ ๐ ๐ฌ ๐๐ซ๐ฃ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ก๐๐ โ๐ผ ๐ผ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ก๐๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ โข I use this both in my AM and PM routine daily, after I do my cleansing. โข I love layering this one. First, Iโll 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, Iโll pour generously into my palms, press it on my face and let my skin absorbs it, Iโll do this 2-3 layers. โ๐ผ ๐พ๐ค๐ฃ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐ง/ ๐๐ง๐๐๐ โข I got a limited set that come with 400ml + 100ml bottle, the set price was discounted to RM97+ (USD23+). โ๐ผ ๐๐๐ญ๐ฉ๐ช๐ง๐/ ๐๐๐๐ฃ๐ฉ โข This is a clear watery liquid but it has some consistency, slightly thicker than water and from what I read regarding the product, itโs made to have an ampoule texture, thatโs why I love using it because I can feel the โampoule-viscosityโ inside it. โข Scent wise - I didnโt detect any scent. โ๐ผ ๐ฝ๐ก๐๐ฃ๐๐๐๐ก๐/ ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐จ๐ โข Itโs easy to apply and my skin just drinks it easily even with 2-3 layers. No stickiness or greasy feeling. โ๐ผ ๐๐๐จ๐ช๐ก๐ฉ โข To know if toner did something to your skin, try leaving your face more than 10 minutes right after youโve finished your cleansing steps. I accidentally did it once, right after I went out from the bathroom, my kids asked me to do something โmummy dutyโ, 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 Iโm someone who donโt even practice towel dry my face!~ โข Iโd 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. Thatโs when I know this definitely do something for my skin apart from preparing my skin for the next step. โข But most importantly, it doesnโt sting! No other sensation and it didnโt make the inflamed skin becomes more red!~ a MAJOR PLUS POINT, yay! ๐ ๐๐ฃ๐๐๐ข๐๐จ๐ This product use PHA instead of AHA or BHA, which the latter, my skin canโt 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!~ โ๐ผ ๐๐ค.. Youโre right, you definitely heard the HG bells.

Bio Essence Intensive Conditioning

I recently picked this up again, I was using it previously without really understanding its benefits. On a whim, I soaked cotton pads with this essence and applied it as a sheet mask and whne I removed the cotton pads, wham! I was surprised to see the results. My pores looked smaller and skin was plump and brighter. I've been continuously using this goodie for the past 2 weeks and my skin is looking plumper and brighter. Oh! And the bottle is fall proof. I dropped the bottle from a table and it survived the fall.

Discounted price as low as USD23+. ๐ป ๐ ๐ฌ ๐๐ซ๐ฃ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ก๐๐ โฅ I love this essence texture, viscous like a light syrupy texture, with one layer, it gives my skin a dewy glazed finish, itโs tacky but no greasiness. Take a while to get absorbed and with this you really need to give it some time to settle and I feels like I donโt have to use toner due to the rich texture. But I still use toner, the wipe method, at least. The scent, very citrusy and refreshing. โฅ It has soothing ingredients such as Cucumber Fruit Extract and Centella Asiatica Extract among many others, initially I thought this might give me some kind of sensation, but there was none. And talking about the packaging, feels so luxurious holding it in my hand. โฅ ๐ผ๐ฃ๐ ๐จ๐ค.. Itโs one of the essences that I love at first sight. There is no irritation on my sensitive skin, itโs very nourishing and my skin looking plump, HG essence!

Anti-Wrinkle First Essence Origin

My review after trying these for 2 months! โจ Key ingredient: Rose Water, Resveratrol, Niacinamide, Fermented Soy Bean Extract ๐ค I love this essence so much! This has an unexpectedly satisfying texture, it feels like 'fat' water with a slight viscousity that adds so much hydration to my skin instantly. My skin feels so hydrated and bouncy without any tacky or greasy finish, even with multiple layers ๐ฏ๐ฏ Resveratrol is a potent antioxidant so I use this in both AM/PM. ๐ Overall this has some really nice ingredients and formulation that'll be good for wrinkle prevention and are gentle enough for daily use, even on my sensitive skin โค๏ธ

Mugwort Essence
glowandsunshine
Mugwort aka Artemisia is used in skincare products designed to soothe sensitive skin, treat dry skin and acne. It's also antibacterial and antifungal. Full of vitamin E and other antioxidants, it protects, nourishes and hydrates the skin๐ฟ This Mugwort Essence from i'm from contains 100% mugwort and is a great product for calming my skin, especially whenever it feels irritated or when I'm having painful breakouts. I like how the watery texture is ideal for layering and I've had no problems combining it with all of my other skincare products ๐ The herbal mugwort scent is thankfully not that strong, unlike the brands Mugwort Mask which I hated for its way too strong scent, and I've had no problems with this product at all! Had already tried the smaller size before purchasing the full-sized product; I'm almost through with the bottle and can see myself re-purchasing this more than often

Its a pure fermentes(for 3 years) mugwort from Gangwha Korea. ๐ Its a one ingredient essence. It is very watery texture has a signure pure artemisia scent. It is an essence but it calls first essence because has to be applyed before your toner step. Instantly calms down red,irritated acneprone skin. Calming and soothing great for sensitive dehydrated skin. I already repurchased it many times even tho it lasts a long while.
