Results could vary depending on how often you use the product. Some would find it too slow

SKIN 1004 from South Korea is a natural skincare brand that practices no animal testing&#47;ingredients and no harsh chemicals while promising healthy skin with long-term use.

🤍 Usage: 2-3 drops for the face and neck (both AM and PM routines for roughly 2 weeks)

🤍 Notable ingredients: 
MadeWhite technology of brightening ingredients, Centella Asiatica, Niacinamide, Tranexamic Acid, 3-O Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, a couple of ferments and other hydrating ingredients.

🤍 Texture&#47;Consistency and Finish
- lightweight, clear and watery that has enough slip and absorbs to a non sticky finish. The hydrated feel goes well under moisturizer, sunscreen and makeup and doesn&#39;t cause pilling. 

🤍 Fragrance, colorants and EO free therefore peepz with sensitivities might be ok with this

🤍 In the short 2 weeks of use, it gave me overall brightening and lessened my PIH as seen in the unedited before and after photos. I could see this giving me more results with longer period of use. 

🤍 Visual delight? Hell yeah! Just look at the suspended capsules! 😍 Oh and yes, favorable bent dropper with a stopper for dispensing the product! 

It is available through Shopee in several areas and is directly shipped from Korea 👌

Bottle is lightly tinted
Essential oils might cause irritation to some

- gradually brightened skin overall while PIH visibly lightened and gone after the 4 weeks of trial

- balancing claim is effective - I am less oily in this summer heat

- bouncy and glowy skin

- light, spreadable, not sticky and glowy (not shiny) texture and finish on the skin

- though it contains Ascorbic Acid, it did not sting or felt warm on the skin upon contact

- no bothersome scent

- alcohol, fragrance, paraben, allergen and cruelty free 🐰

- dropper bottle has a light tint and has a stopper to keep the product from exposure

- reasonably priced

- sold out
- some complain that the item arrives broken
- not for you if you're scared of blinding highlighters

I love good powder highlighter that doesn't give me a gray cast on my medium skin tone and this simply does it. Most pink or lighter shades do and I'm happy I found one that doesn't break the bank. Moreover, I also love:

- pebble-like packaging that looks elegant though it's simple
- soft and blendable texture
- pigment payoff
- decent longevity 
- no offensive fragrance
- didn't cause irritation to my skin
- quite versatile over lids, blended with  matte cheek color etc

It could get a bit sticky during warmer days

🐝 healed my hormonal&#47;maskne woes in just 2 days (dried overnight!)
🐝 contains 83% Black Bee Propolis known for it&#39;s anti inflammatory and glowing smooth skin benefits
🐝 achieved glowy, juicy plump skin with continued use
🐝 absorbs quickly and has a good grip for makeup
🐝 hive like black&#47;amber dropper packaging
🐝 alcohol, fragrance, essential oils, paraben and cruelty free
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
While I&#39;m no stranger to this golden goodness as an anti inflammatory and healing hero for hormonal and maskne concerns, it didn&#39;t end there.

I have already given it a 5 star rating and this product proved that it deserves so much more - this time as a barrier caring ampoule. 💛

My skin took a beating while trying out exfoliators for the past few weeks and this helped A LOT!

💛 Used in both AM and PM routines, this healed my barrier within days (roughly 3 days) and kept using it for maintenance.

💛 It&#39;s summertime in here and it didn&#39;t give me a bothersome experience with absorption and stickiness (see video). It also works well with the lightweight summertime products I have in my routines.

💛 This serves as a &quot;cushion&quot; which I can layer with actives like Vitamin c, aha&#39;s and retinols.

- tiny amount of product
- pricey in through our local retailer
- can be too dewy&#47;oily for some
