I received this product for free from Picky and MIXSOON in exchange for my honest review. MIXSOON - Soondy Centella Asiatica Essence Vegan and cruelty free 💚 Main ingredient: 100% Centella Asiatica extract, soothes the skin and gives it elasticity, strengthens the skin barrier Other ingredients: Water and Butylene Glycol It's a light, watery but kinda viscous essence and the colour reminds me of tea, it has a very light botanical scent and it's suitable for all skin types Personal review I started using this essence not long ago but so far I can say that I like it. It helps hydrate my skin and it has a calming effect on my best friends, the random pimples 😆 I never understood the difference between serum and essence to be honest so I use it after the toner just like I did with serums (please feel free to correct me) Other than the product itself I LOVE the packaging as well because not only Soondy, the little bear mascotte, is super adorable but he's there to help protect his polar bears friends; in fact all the profits derived from the MIXSOON products with Soondy are donated to 'Friends on Earth', so if you buy one of these products not only your skin will be grateful but also all the polar bears that this association is trying to help and protect 🐻‍❄️

Main ingredients 🌿 Tea tree leaf water 67%, anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties ☘️ Centella Asiatica leaf water 19,5%, fade acne scar 🌱 Patented 6-sprout extract: sprout wheat, bok choy, broccoli, alpha alpha, radish sprout and lettuce, deep moisture and nutrition Texture, colour and scent: it's a light green serum very watery, the colour is natural and it has no added synthetic fragrance 🍃Personal review🍃 In this period I have three acne scars that are pretty dark, It's just a week that I'm using this serum and I'm using it in combination with Tiam ac spot cream (review soon 😁), so far I noticed just a light fading but when I have these types of dark spots usually takes quite a bit to be gone so I'm happy even with this light result so far. In these days the skin around my nose was very irritated because of the cold weather but it's way better now by using this serum in combination with the the centella essece from Mixsoon Overall I'm happy with this serum, I don't usually expect immediate results so I bet that with more time I will see that those dark spots will fade even more. For the fragrance it is super super light, sometimes I don't even smell nothing so I think that even someone that has problems with scented products can use this serum with no worries.

I received this product for free from Picky and TIAM in exchange for my honest review. TIA'M - Vita B3 Source 🌱Vegan Niacinamide 10%, reduces discolorations and fades post acne marks Arbutin 2%, brightens and evens out the skin tone Allantoin, soothes irritations and promotes wounds healing If you have dullness, dark spots and hyperpigmentation and you want to fade the discoloration, even and bright the skin tone, it also helps to control excess sebum You can use it both in your AM and PM routine but they suggest to start slowly, not everyday but 2-3 times a week if you're a beginner 💛Personal review💛 I'm using this serum in combination with the Yuja Cleanser from SomeByMi because I have a few dark spots left by a bad breakout and I have to say that this combo is helping fade them pretty fast, I'm very impressed by that 😍 The serum has a watery jelly texture and if you use it only where you have the dark spots it takes quite a bit to absorbs because it's ays "too much" product for a small part of your face; I use only where I need it because I have freckles on my nose and cheeks and since this serum seems to have a strong fading "power" I'm scared that it will fade my freckles too, so I do my best to avoid that part 😅

I really that natural light scent that has, I don't know how to describe it properly but you can notice that is natural and not derived from artificial fragrance so if you're not a scented skincare lover you may still like this toner since it's not over-powering. I have a normal to oily skin and this works really well on my skin, I don't feel like my skin is heavy when I use it and it absorbs pretty fast so I don't have to wait too long before using my other product. Overall I think is a good toner and, surprisingly, I like the thicker texture

For the acne part I'm in a "not really good skin" period and so far I don't see that much of results about that, but it could be because I'm not using the Serum for long enough to see some difference (I am pretty impatient, I have to admit it 😅) maybe with a little bit more time my skin will get better, I'm sure it will. Overall I like this product and I recommend it, especially if you want to have a beautiful natural glow on your skin.

Main ingredients 🍋 85% bio Yuja (or Yuzu) water 🍋 1% Yuja oil 💧Hyaluronic acid 🌼 Chamomile and Calendula extract Best for dry and dull skin Personal review I received this beautiful ampoule as a giveaway gift from @urangnatural quite a long ago (luckily it's not expired 😅) but I had the chance to try this just now because I gave priorities to products with deadlines 😔 Back to the review I love yuzu and I was so excited when @urangnatural gave the chance to try this 🥰 starting from the packaging I think that is so precious, I love the colour and I love the shape 💛 My skin normally is not dry but these days, thanks to that "beautiful" place where I work, I had some dry spots and when I started using this, paired with the other products in my routine, my skin went back to normal. I mainly started using this to reduce my dark spots left by pimples and I've noticed that they are slowly fading so I'm really pleased with that 😊

I received this product for free from Picky and The Skin House in exchange for my honest review. Cruelty-free • Paraben free • Sulfate free • Silicone free Main ingredients: ▪︎Green Tea and Tea Tree Oil, anti inflammatory and help control excess sebum ▪︎Peony extract ▪︎Aloe Vera ▪︎Allantoin ▪︎Panthenol Texture: watery slimy jelly serum, what a nice description 😅 🔹️Personal review🔹️ At first I have to say that I'm using this serum for only a week but so far there is nothing that I don't like. The thing I like the most is the texture, it absorbs super fast and it's so lightweight and refreshing, which I LOVE ❤️ I like the fact there is tea is one of the main ingredient because I love products with any type of tea in it since I noticed that my skin and tea go very well together; I also like that, thanks to tea tree oil I have no excess sebum but at the same time my skin does not feel dry or pulling thanks to the other moisturizing ingredients. There is a little bit of scent so if you're the type of person who prefer unscented products maybe this is not for you. Last but not least I really like the colour the glass bottle that contains the serum, not helpful in any way but I wanted to share it #pickyreview #gopicky #theskinhousepicky #theskinhouse #serum

#YourSkinIsOurPlanet Sustainable package•Clean formula•Love animal It's a sky-blue colored Hyaluronic acid serum that delivers deep hydration inside the skin; it contains 5 types of hyaluronic acid in different molecular sizes to enhance the absorption: high molecular weight forms a barrier and prevent moisture loss, medium molecular weight has a strong moisturizing effect and low molecular weight keeps the inner skin layer moisturized Personal review First af all I have to say that it's been just a few days of using this serum so my review is a "first inpression". Starting from the less important thing I love the colour of this serum, it gives me pure and fresh water vibes 😆 The consistency is non sticky, lightweight and it absorbs really fast, all things that I love in a product, it has a light scent that honestly I don't know how to describe but it last just for the time that you squeeze it from the pipette. As I said I can't talk about long term results but so far I feel like it's a good hydrating serum, I don't have dry skin but now that it's cold I have a little dry spot on my nose due to the fact that I use A LOT of tissues all the time and since I started using this serum I don't have dry skin on that area anymore.

🌱 Brand Story: Mixsoon is a hyperminimal brand that focuses on traditional Korean hanbang ingredients. They do not have a website in English currently, so information may have translation errors. 🌱 Claims: Calms inflamed, irritated skin with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant properties Humectant properties hold onto moisture in skin 🌱 Key Ingredients: This product has only one ingredient, 100% Heartleaf (Houttuynia Cordata) extract 🌱 pH: Unknown 🌱 Texture: A watery liquid with no thickeners 🌱 Scent: None 🌱 Price: $38.70CA for 100mL or $0.39/mL (Photos show a mini sample size) 🌱 Application: Lately I have not been sleeping terribly well, and my skin has reflected that. It has been tired, puffy and dry. The first time I used this, I was actually rather amazed how much my skin perked up. Both in terms of immediate hydration, but all throughout the long day. My skin under my eyes looked and felt less puffy and tired, and dull skin looked just that much nicer. Which makes sense, as the primary function of this ingredient is calming inflammation. 🌱 Other uses: Since this is a watery liquid, you could put this in a spray bottle, but it is a little pricey for that. 🌱 Every day: Yes, this product is designed for sensitive, irritated skin 🌱 Notes: Being made up of a single ingredient has its benefits and drawbacks. You will easily know if you are allergic to this product or not, no guessing games. It provides an effective strength of that ingredient. The only downside is that you are not receiving a broad range of beneficial ingredients working together to become better than the sum of their parts. 🌱 Packaging: Mixsoon has packaged their 100% extract in a clear bottle, which leaves it vulnerable to UV damage. Remember to store this in a dark place when not in use. 🌱 Accessibility: I actually prefer the dropper version of the mini sample bottle to the twist off cap in the full size. The square bottle makes it easier to grip and dispense. The full size bottle is average accessibility. 🌱 Sustainability: With their ultra-minimalist style, Mixsoon does not overpackage their products, and both the mini sample and full size bottle are recyclable. 🌱 Overall: I have enjoyed this product every time I use it. I would recommend it for anyone with tired, irritated skin or damaged barrier who is looking for both an instant boost, and long term improvement. Just remember to patch test this first to see if you have a reaction to heartleaf.

✔️Cruelty-free ✔️Vegan ✔️Eco-friendly Main ingredient: Green Tea leaf water 81% Active ingredients: Niacinamide (vitamin B3) 2% and Moist-7 Complex 1% Personal review First of all I have to say that I have the old packaging and I'm glad that they change it because I find that with the pipette it's hard to take the product, I don't know if it's because it's not exactly liquid or other but I'm never able to fill the little tube with product, I have to "dip" at least two times to have the amount that I need to use; maybe it's my bottle that has some defect, I don't know, but I hope that with the new bottle it will be easier. Now about the product, I like the texture, I like that it's hydrating and that it leaves my skin glowy but I won't use it as a whitening ampoule because I didn't notice that much difference in the dark spots I have, for that I would recommend the Tia'm Vita B3 Source 100%; but it definitely leaves your skin glowy, soothed and moisturized so if you're looking for that this is your ampoule 😊
