All Clean Green Foam
first thing first… a cleanser. i fell in love with this cleanser on my first try, it’s very gentle, with minimum foam, no stripping feeling afterwards, and it cleans your impurities very well, it’s also very affordable with the size (150ml), with soap bark and centella asiatica as its ingredients which is very good to calming your skin, really good for sensitive and acne prone skin. how could you not love this cleanser??!

•ingredients: -glycerin; -soap bark (quillaja saponaria bark) extract; -centella asiatica extract; -witch hazel (hamamelis hirginiana); -water •package: normal tube like any other face wash •thoughts: it’s low PH (PH 5.5) and actually gentle and non-stripping, this cleanser actually better than the c*srx one in my experience… love the gel-balmy texture, it does not irritated my eyes, it has not too much foam just the way i like and it has some slightly scent but i don’t mind. love this cleanser!

key ingredients: 100% centella asiatica extract thoughts: finally i get to tried this famous ampoule of skin1004, i bought the 30ml size first to see if this works on my skin and probably gonna buy the bigger size it it does… first impression of just a few days of using this ampoule is that… the texture is so watery, literally absorbed into your skin in no time. i find that this ampoule hydrating and calming my skin because of the 100% centella asiatica extract which is good for calming the skin, really good for acne prone & sensitive skin, and it also have been said that this ampoule is good to strengthen the skin barrier & reduce redness… which i’m gonna update from time to time to tell if the claim is true. nonetheless skin1004 never fails me and worth the hype and the product is always good.

Vita B3 Source
next up, this serum by TIAM. got this serum by a giveaway from picky and i have no expectations whatsoever but turns out this serum is become one of my HG. the texture of this serum is watery and runny with a little bit sticky finish, honestly that’s the only little problem i had with this serum but that’s actually fine with me. this serum really helps me brighten my skin and fades my acne scars especially my PIE & PIH (i mean this serum combined 2 well-known brightening agent which is niacinamide & alpha arbutin sooo… not surprised!), surprisingly this serum also helps strengthen my skin barrier (?) because when i used this serum i barely had an acne. and what shockingly is… even with high percentage of niacinamide, this serum doesn’t irritate my very sensitive skin but again, it’s my experience so it maybe gonna be different on others skin.

I received this product for free from Picky and TIAM in exchange for my honest review. •ingredients: -water; -niacinamide (vitamin b3) 10%; -butylene glycol; -arbutin 2%; -allantoin; -etc •packaging: the packaging!!!! i really love love the yellow color on the packaging (the box and the bottle), it’s so cute and refreshing! probably the cutest skincare product that i’ve ever have and i never gonna throw the bottle away because it’s just so cute! •thoughts: vita b3 source is a serum that consist 2 of the most popular brightening agents which is 10% niacinamide and 2% arbutin, the texture is watery and absorb so fast into the skin, it has no fragrance or any scent, this serum claim is can helps fade dark spots and reduce dullness and uneven skin tone. i can see that this serum kinda brightens my skin, but especially the effects on my redness/PIE and also my dark spots, there’s really significant improvement… my PIE and dark spots is slowly fading away and if i had new acne it’s not really that red like it used to, the serum is fading away the old PIE & dark spots and also or helping to reduce the new redness/inflammation on my skin. surprisingly this serum is not irritating my sensitive skin even with the high percentage of niacinamide. usually i don’t really like niacinamide product because i think it didn’t really have effect on my skin/ doesn’t do it for me, same goes to arbutin but this product is different, because this serum combined niacinamide and arbutin so it have maximum brightening effect and to fades dark spots, i think that this product is becoming my holy grail!

Frameless Pure Vitamin C 20% Element
my first vitamin C product i’ve ever used, this serum by elmt contains 20% pure vitamin C form which is ascorbic acid. the texture of the serum is so thick, almost lotion-like or every a moisturizer, the finish is not feeling heavy on the skin but it has this runny feeling when you’re gonna put another product, so when i used this serum i’m gonna skip my moisturizer and straight into putting my sunscreen so that my skin doesn’t feel over-hydrated. this serum is really good in fades my acne scars especially my redness and also helps strengthen my skin barrier (?) because when i used this serum my acne is barely show up, and even with very high percentage of vitamin C this serum doesn’t irritate my skin at all, it does have a warmth sensation when you applied this serum but it’s normal due to high percentage of the vitamin C, so this serum is giving such a very good first experience for me with vitamin C.

I received this product for free from Picky and elmt in exchange for my honest review. •key ingredients: -propanediol; -ascorbic acid (20%); -butylene glycol; -glycerin; -panthenol; -prunus armeniaca (apricot) kernel oil; -etc. •packaging: comes in a dark green airless pump bottle packaging which is really cool •thoughts: this is my first vitamic c serum/product… at first i was afraid to applied this serum due to the high percentage of pure vitamin c. it’s a waterless serum (to reduce chances of the ascorbic acid to going bad before use) so the texture is very thick and takes a while to absorb into the skin so the serum is kinda sitting there in your skin because it takes times for its to absorb and it kinda makes my skin greasy, but the good thing is… it’s moisturize my skin, and the afterwards feeling is not heavy at all. there’s a slightly this warm sensation when you applied it but it was a natural and non-irritating phenomenon / reaction due to high concentration of vitamin c and it will go away just for a seconds, but even with a high concentration (20%) pure vitamin c or asorbic acid this serum is not irritating my sensitive skin even though i have some active acne (the “certified safe for sensitive skin” claim is true after all, because it’s contain smaller particles). i really love this serum because it really brightens my skin and fades my PIE and dark spots really well and also smoother my skin texture, easily become one of my holy grail product! and i use this product only on my AM routine with sunscreen for now… imagine the effects it gives to my skin if i use it also on the PM routine too.

•key ingredients: -bamboo stem extract; -niacinamide; -adenosine; -tocopherol (vitamin e); -etc. •packaging: comes in a clean white tube with a wide lid/tubing. •thoughts: it’s a 2-in-1 moisturizer with sunscreen so you can skip moisturizer and simplify your skincare routine with just this one product and still giving your skin moisture and also protect your skin from sun damage. it’s high protection with SPF50+ PA++++, with chemical filters, the texture is a light & watery lotion. it’s so light, blend so easily, zero whitecast, absorb so fast into the skin and moisturizing. the finish is hydrating and natural dewy giving my skin healthy glow but there’s no greasy/tacky feelings afterwards. it’s fragrance free, great for oily skin and you can skip moisturizer so it doesn’t make your skin too greasy in the AM.
