JAR DE AWESOME - m0chiskinnn review for Meet Me in 10 Minutes Tone Balancing Cream

💸 This 50ml cream retails for almost Php 1300 / USD 26 on Shopee Key Ingredients: - Niacinamide - Titanium Dioxide The product has a white, opaque texture, similar to the consistency of certain physical sunscreens. Despite the product having fragrance, it doesn't bother me, the smell is giving me ✨rich✨ vibes (sweet & floral). The "tone-up" effect is manageable on my skintone, just as if I applied a decent physical sunscreen. It doesn't feel heavy at all though. It gives a satin, silky finish on the skin. This is my second time to use a tone-up cream in my whole lifetime (lol) so here are my thoughts! Some methods I tested out: 1. Application of tone-up cream after toner, moisturizer: I dispense about 1-2 pumps of the product. Goes on smoothly, no pilling whatsoever. Takes some time to blend in but manageable. 2. Application of tone-up cream after toner, moisturizer + a dewy sunscreen: tends to pill and just "moves around", kind of difficult to blend in evenly. However, I think gel-type sunscreens would be perfect to go underneath this product. Any product that's dewy or has a bit of oily slick to it will lead to uneven application of the tone-up cream. 3. Application of product by itself (after washing face, no skincare): clings onto dry patches Other points: - Not water-resistant - Accentuates dry patches/areas if you don't moisturize/hydrate properly (see photos for reference)
