Picky Giveaway Reviews
Hi Picky fam! I thought I'd share some brief thoughts about all the products I've been lucky enough to get to try through this app so far. You can find more detailed reviews for most of these (I haven't posted full reviews of a couple of them yet) on my page here and on my Instagram @ren_terese
Rovectin Skin Essentials Conditioning Cleanser
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I absolutely loved this cleanser, I can absolutely see myself repurchasing after I use up some other cleansers I have waiting. "Conditioning" is the perfect word for it, it feels to my face like a good conditioner feels to my hair. It's so soft and silky and does such a great job of cleansing my skin and leaving me feel not only not dry and stripped but actually moisturized! Definitely recommend!
Varuza Soy Gentle Cleanser With Vegan Mucin
⭐⭐⭐⭐
This cleanser is great! It is fragranced, lightly citrusy, which is a turn off for some, but I enjoy the scent and it's a wash off product so I don't mind. Doesn't foam and doesn't leave me feeling stripped at all. Definitely would recommend!
Make P:rem Safe me. Relief watery gel cream
⭐⭐⭐⭐
I'm enjoying this moisturizer a lot! I love that it comes with it's own spatula and I'm SO relieved it didn't break me out, I was worried since it seems similar to a couple other products that have. I would recommend this product! It's definitely good for my combo-oily skin, even at night, but might be too light for dry skin.
Benton Aloe Propolis Soothing Gel
⭐⭐⭐⭐
I really enjoyed this one, I found it very cooling and soothing. I especially loved using it on days that my skin was a bit irritated or I had active acne that was particularly sore. Would be perfect for use after a day in the sun, especially if kept in the fridge. I would recommend it for people with combo to oily skin, but probably not for dry skin.
Benton Snail Bee High Content Essence
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I love this product! I haven't used it long enough to notice any difference in my acne scars but it does leave my skin feeling plump and hydrated, and I think I've noticed a reduction in sebum production too. I'll keep using this for sure and definitely recommend it! I just love the texture, and the pump packaging is such a win. Definitely follow with a good moisturizer as I didn't find it super moisturizing for my combo to oily skin.
Rovectin Lotus Water Calming Toner
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I found this toner so soothing! Especially on my active acne, it really calmed down my inflammation. I'll definitely keep using this, particularly to keep maskne at bay. It doesn't TREAT my pimples or make them go away, but it soothes them and the skin around them! I definitely do recommend this product to basically all skin types if you're looking for hydration and something soothing!
Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I agree with all of this company's claims about the product. It calmed my redness and irritation around my blemishes, it dried down fairly quickly and nicely, and wasn't at all sticky. I could layer this product and use a whole dropper at once, and while that obviously took longer to dry down and absorb into my skin, it always did dry down and never left me greasy or oily. My skin has been very oily lately with the humidity and heat of the summer so I'm very pleased with that!
If you've tried any of these, let me know what you thought of them too!
