I am thankful for being one of MVP winners in their recent mega give away at Picky. I did not expect this as it was my first-time reviewing skincare products and there are so many reviewers out there who had 1k plus followers and creative photoshoots but I guess I was chosen for my love to their products.

First, I am amazed and happy that this brand @skin1004official @skin1004philippines already gain popularity worldwide. As I started doing skincare way back mid 2018- 2019 this is the first ampoule I had tried and I fell in love with it though I’m wondering why are they haven’t known in skincare industry. They deserved to be known as they produce quality products and now here, they are, adored by so many people. I already have 3 bottles of their ampoule plus the one they give as a set.
I’ve got their 5 basic set (Light Cleansing Oil, Ampoule Foam, Toning Toner, Ampoule, and Soothing Cream) which I am not obligated to write reviews but I still want to because I so much love trying their products and wanted it to share with you guys! But first things first, I release reviews after a month or so of usage so I can provide real and honest reviews unless it is from giveaway and stated on rules. Also, I got tons of products to finish so some of their product review will be posted late. When I say it, it’ll take long months.

I’ve been using these products for almost 3 weeks now except for their toning toner as I want to finish first my purchased toner as I don’t want to waste products, it is from this brand also but from hyalu-cica line AND I’VE BEEN LOVING THEM SO MUCH!	 I will be posting my Skin1004 centella series soonest! 
Had anyone also have their fave products here? Share down below in comment section! Happy holidays everyone!

Check out my ig! Show some love ❤️❤️

SKIN1004 GRATITUDE POST

Hi I just want to know if do you tag the brands you purchased for a review even if your review is kinda like so honest because it actually did nothing? I recently bought a local brand and it didn't do anything. Should I tag them on my reviews so they would know and improve the product or just post it without tagging? Thank you so much!

Tagging Brands for Reviews

It is my first time incorporating chemical exfoliator so any tips before I do exfoliation? Have you already use this exfoliator? Pls give some advices. I dont want to ruin my skin 🤣 I just bought it and it was my first time with AHAs

AHA: Chemical Exfoliator

I'm currently searching for sunscreens and I've check the Biore sunscreen the blue one. I've read reviews that it has alcohol. I did some readings on alcohols and this is what I've read. There are good types of alcohol which is fatty alcohols. This contributes on the increase transdermal delivery of ingredients. While the bad alcohols cause the drying of our skin and destroy skin barrier in the long run. Hope this one helps to those who started out doing skincare. You can also add some of yoir thoughts and knowledge. Happy skincare everyone. Stay hydrated!  ♥

I started breaking out on my first week of use. At first, I thought it was due to hormonal acne so I continuously used this on my 2nd week and it worsen my break outs. My forehead was full of pimples and tiny bumps and I also have patches of redness in my face so I stopped and rest for this cleanser in a while. After a week of rest, I used this again and this still gave me pimples and tiny bumps so this did not worked for me. 

Overall thoughts:
Since my skin is new in BHA, I think that is what causing me to have breakouts but it was just 0.5% so maybe my skin does not like this or the formulation of this is not good on my skin. I had high hopes in this cleanser because it is popular and have good reviews but sadly I belong to those who had bad experiences with this.

Note: What did not work on me will not also work on you and vice versa, you can still try it since we have different skin. 🤍



It cleanses well and not drying. It foams up nicely too. I haven't say anything good for long since it did not worked for me

Texture: Gel in consistency
Scent: Strong scent of Tea Tree
Packaging: 120ml in a plastic tube.
Key Ingredients: 
- Betaine Salicylate (BHA) 0.5%
- Tea Tree Oil 0.5%
- Styrax Japonicus Branch/Leaf/Fruit Extract 5%

Sometimes sticky upon application. 
Sometimes foams up when applying
Didn't make my skin plump

Reviewing this Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Brightening Toner from @skin1004philippines @skin1004official 💙

This claims to brighten your skin with their special HYALU-CICA FORMULA and AHA+LHA to gently exfoliate your skin revealing white and moisturized skin with anti-aging functionality. 

*See video for the texture! 

Key Ingredients:
- 74% Cica leaf water
- Niacinamide
- Different types of HAs
- AHA+LHA
- Ceramide NP

Scent: It has a mild scent like a hint of soap but a kind of refreshing scent. 

Experience:
This is a hydrating toner. I only layer this once because it feels sticky upon application. There are days where this is not sticky. It also foams up when I am applying this on my face so I thought at first I haven't washed well the cleanser in my face but when I use it again next night which I cleanses well it still foams up. To minimize the foaming, I just simply pat the product in my face and not rubbing it too much to avoid foaming. It did brighten my skin for about a week of usage and it controls my oilyness which is a plus point for me. However, I expected this to make my skin plump since it has different types of HAs in it, but I kinda disappointed because it didn't make my skin plump.  I know this is just a toner with HAs so it will not make my skin that plump glowy look but I just remember using other brand with HA too and it do the job of making skin plump. I tried using this toner with their sleeping pack and it's where my skin looks plump and glowy! 😍💙 (Will review their sleeping pack next) 

Final thoughts:
It's a good decent toner that didn't caused me breakout or purging. Perfect for brightening and controlling sebum. However it needs to be paired with their sleeping pack for a plump glowy look which makes me think if I will repurchase this or not because in my preference if the toner has HAs, it should be hydrating and make your skin plump. But this did not check that plumpy look which I can get to other HA toner as well. It's still a worth one to try. This is just my pure and honest opinion. 💙💙💙

It was claimed that it can be used as first cleansing product according to their website but I do not recommend this as your first cleanse. I noticed that there was still dirt residue on my face.

If you used it as a leave on toner, you'll see magic in your face! It hydrates my skin and it feels moisturizing for my oily skin. It helps the serum to penetrate deeply by prepping the skin. 

It has a ph level of 8.8 which is I know bad for the skin but lemme explain why this is still my holy grail. We all opt to low ph level when it comes to products but we can still use higher ph levels just make sure you will use your toner to balance your skin&#39;s ph level. For further explanation (I&#39;m no good at explaining things on detail)  here&#39;s the link I may provide so you can clarify things on your own.

Claims:
👌Gentle foam cleanser

👌Moisturizing
👌Strengthen skin barrier

My experience :
When I started using this cleanser my face before was irrirated and damaged because of the breakouts and the products I tried that doesn&#39;t worked on me. I gave this a try since it is said that it was gentle on skin. True to its claim it is the gentlest cleanser I&#39;ve tried, the rich creamy foam being lathered in my skin gives a relaxing feeling. The mild floral fragrance also adds on soothing feeling. For me it is not just a gentle cleanser, it is a deep cleanser because of how it removes dirt and impurities in your pores. It doesn&#39;t leave your skin tight or squeaky feeling, it&#39;s so mositurizing. It&#39;s because of the double hyaluronic acid. (I personally love hyaluronic acid. ). My skin barrier improves as I rarely had breakouts now. For your reference I have oily acne prone skin and it suits my skin type. It doesn&#39;t cause me breakouts and it lessen my oilyness. That&#39;s because it has a lot of hydrating ingredients. This was my holy grail since 2020. I&#39;m still looking for a cleanser that may beat this but so far, I haven&#39;t seen so I&#39;ll still stick with this.
