Can't believe I finally won a giveaway (after applying for so many lol). It's kind of a coincidence as I'm currently finishing another niacinamide product in my skincare routine so I'm can't wait to see how different niacinamide products work on my skin. This tiam serum contains 20% niacinamide ,which is also an upgrade for my skin routine as my previous one was 10% and I think my skin is already used to it. It also contain zinc and salix , which are well known in controlling excess sebum and minimise the appearance of pores. Overall I can't wait to try this serum soon and give it a review. I do hope that it can improve my skin texture(common oily skin problems😭)

My first picky giveaway 😍

I was quite surprised this came in my mail today because I didn't receive any email regarding shipping updates so I thought mine haven't been shipped out yet. But guesssss what it's hereeeeeeee yayyyy I can finally start trying these wonderful products from ruruberry , same as always, stay tuned for my review 😉😉

Psss: look at those beautiful words printed on the box and the card, love it. 

*Special thanks to Picky Team and Ruruberry😘

Surpriseeee 🤩🤩🤩

Thank you PICKY team for choosing me as a reviewer😘Big kisses to yall.I'm so excited right now and I can't wait to try the products from ruruberry. It's quite interesting cause my last review was about another niacinamide serum from TIAM(which I won from last giveaway)  and I've tried the classic The Ordinary. I think it's a good chance for me to try out and see how it works between all these niacinamide serum on my skin and share it with those who want to try niacinamides as well😆. Stay tuned for my review😉.

Yay Second Win 😚😚

Good day beauties, so I'm gonna talk about something quite unrelated to skincare this time. 

I'm currently testing products that I received from last giveaway and is it just me or other discussion about the same product always caught more of my attention. I just like to see how the same product works on different person and skin types. But recently as I scroll through the discussions I saw two very similar discussions, almost 80% I can say. I know that reviewers might have similar opinions on one product, but the sentence structure and phrase used in the discussions are completely the same. I'm not judging if people are referring to each other, i mean we all learn from experience right, but such circumstances that almost looks like copying do make me feel unease. 

Maybe I'm just being paranoid😂 Also, do leave a comment to tell me if you beauties get attracted to discussions/reviews on the products that you have on hand.

Hi beauties, this is my first time posting a discussion. So today I wanna talk about my own experience during the use of this tiam pore minimising serum that I won from picky giveaway earlier this month. First, thank you picky team for giving this chance and let's cut straight into the review( I wanna make it clear and simple) :

🌱Packaging🌱
•Black-themed box and bottle(which I personally likes)
•Bottle made of glass which is quite heavy
•40ml 

🌱Main ingredients🌱
• 20%Niacinamide
• 1%Zinc pca

Extra notes: I noticed that there's also willow bark water which is good in controlling sebum and gentle exfoliating.

🌱Claims🌱
• Tighten pores
• Regulates sebum production 

🌱Texture🌱
•Watery and light type of serum
•0 stickiness with appropriate amount used
•Transparent liquid with almost no smell

🌷My own impression🌷
This serum feels totally weightless and absorbs well on my skin with controlled amount(for me I only use 3-4drops to avoid stickiness). After almost 3 weeks of using it, I can see obvious changes in my skin tone which is more brighter and radiance. It also speed up metabolism of my skin and reduce some blackheads.

Extra notes: I've been suffering from oily,acne-prone and congested skin for almost 7 years. I'm fully aware that pores can't actually be 'Tighten' once it's form, so I'm still impression that this serum makes a big difference on my skin tone. Besides, this serum also leaves my skin feeling soft and pumped the next morning.

♡PROs♡
~Light weight with appropriate use
~Even skin tone
~Whitens skin
~Gently exfoliates by boosting skin metabolism
~Regulates sebum production 
~Glowy and soft skin 

◇CONs◇
~Does not 'tighten' pores on my skin
~Skin feel stickiness if overused (My dumbass used 1 whole pump on my skin during first trial lol)

Overall rating: I would give it a 4 star being a whitening serum as I really like the watery texture and whitening effect. Sebum control is not as effective as TO's but totally understandable due to the high concentration of Niacinamide. However it did not tighten pores as it claims. 

Repurchase: ●●○○○
Rather than skin tone, I'm more into pores and acne concerns but it's worth the try for those who wants to improve their skin tone.

Above reviews are based on my own experience. Results might differs according to different skin and body.

Tiam Pore Minimising 21 Serum

However for the second bottle I&#39;m starting to realise that it doesn&#39;t work as effective as before. But the moisturising effect is still amazing.

Bought this ampoule 2 times. For the first bottle it really calm down my skin whenever I have breakouts and works well in keeping moisturizer in my skin.  It doesn&#39;t have that sticky texture even if I layered it 5-6 times.

First impression it smell really nice. Does not dry out easily on skin and it&#39;s quite easy to apply and be washed off. Only small amount of product is needed for my whole face. My skin does feel a lot more cleaner after using it and I like to use it to calm down my irritated skin in humid weather.

Don&#39;t think I&#39;ll repurchase it as it is quite pricy for me and works average.

Overall this face wash does clean my skin pretty well and does not strips away moisture. The smell is kinda relaxing with the calendula herbaceous smell.

◇CONs◇
~Stickiness might appear with more amount used
~Does not reduce appearance of pores on my skin

Can&#39;t really find any weakness from this product, it&#39;s too perfect for me at this period. Maybe the packaging???? The product does leak a tiny little bit after few uses.

Probably the best skincare I&#39;ve had for now,  I use this as a cleanser once to twice daily. Effectively removes gunks and junks in my severely congested skin ,leaving my skin baby soft every time. The ingredients list is very friendly and calm down redness on my skin after a tiring day. It is also quite affordable and last almost a few months for me. Definitely repurchasing it.
