Hi there! Has anyone tried both Illiyoon Ceramide Ato Lotion and Aestura Atobarrier 365 Lotion? Which of the 2 do you like more?

Which is better?

Hi there!!

I would just like to hear your opinions whether having the Nacific fresh original serum would be enough to reduce dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and acne scars? Or should I purchase TO's azelaic acid, salicylic acid, or alpha arbutin or the AHA/BHA? 😅

I am hoping to ask people who have tried and experienced Nacific's fresh origin serum if possible and also those who have tested out the products of The Ordinary.

I really don't know if I should spend since there would be a sale going on with some of the ordinary products and I am debating whether I should buy or not. 👉👈

Is having a Vitamin C serum enough?

Hi there!!! I just want to ask can I use this daily on my skin even if it has AHA/BHA/PHA? Also, how can I incorporate a physical exfoliator when I am using this product? 😅

Can I use it daily?

Hi there! I just recently started my IG account dedicated for skincare please do follow me @stanskincare. 💕

Newbie here! New IG Profile!

Hi there! 
Newbie here as a reviewer. I would just like to ask what can you recommend as a website maker/blog/link so that I can post my reviews on it plus other content? Currently, I have been using msha.ke. However, I find it hard to navigate through it since I would use it in the long term and if ever in the near future I have a lot of posts it would be harder to arrange the layout using this page. Preferably, if anyone of you have any recommendations about this?

I haven’t used any snail essence before so I was very excited to try this out. I had seen many people raved about this and compared it with another famous snail mucin essence! 

So, is it worth the hype or not? 🤔

Spoiler ahead: I fell in love with this essence! 😍

This is in an 𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝘂𝗺𝗽 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 making it easier to dispense in a controlled manner. The essence has a 𝒄𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒓 𝒈𝒆𝒍-𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 and a 𝒃𝒊𝒕 𝒗𝒊𝒔𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒔 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒚 but upon applying onto the face this would melt into a 𝒘𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒚 texture that would just sink right into the skin leaving a 𝗻𝗼𝗻-𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸𝘆 but 𝗵𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 face. This essence has 𝗻𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁.

This is 𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝒍𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒘𝒆𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 on the skin! I love how this didn’t give a heavy or stuffy feeling which is my usual experience whenever applying other essences on my skin. Instead of a slightly heavy feeling, this essence gave a 𝒓𝒆𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 feeling to my face. Again, this product is perfect for the summer. 💦🌞

I use around 2-3 pumps that would leave my face feeling 𝒉𝒚𝒅𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒅, 𝒑𝒍𝒖𝒎𝒑, and 𝒔𝒖𝒑𝒑𝒍𝒆. This has also helped in treating my hormonal acne by 𝘴𝘰𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 and 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯 the 𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 and 𝘪𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 due to the actives incorporated. 

Together with the other products in this line, I had seen how my skin texture 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘥 and felt 𝘴𝘮𝘰𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 and how my pustule acne 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘮𝘦𝘥 𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯 and  𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘧𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳. This has also helped in my post-acne care by lightning up the left over pigmentations faster by gently exfoliating my skin with the willow bark extract incorporated.

For wrinkle-care and minimizing  fine lines just as what I had said in my previous post,  prolonged use of this would matter. 

Overall, I love the healthy, plump, supple, soothed complexion that this essence gives me. 🥰

Nothing really except people who are sensitive to fragrances need to be careful!

🍵𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐁𝐲 𝐌𝐢 𝐏𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐂𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐲 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐤  🍵

Haven’t tried a clay mask for so long! 

My first experience with a clay mask was not satisfying because it left my skin feeling dry. That’s why I tend to avoid clay masks. 

This has a𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘺𝘪𝘴𝘩 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘩 𝘴𝘰𝘧𝘵 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮𝘺 𝘵𝘦𝘹𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 and 𝐟𝐥𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐞𝐚 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐬 can be seen. It 𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘭𝘺 𝘴𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘴 onto the face and there is a 𝘴𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 and the 𝐬𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐚 is evident upon application but this doesn’t linger. When washed off, my face 𝘧𝘦𝘭𝘵 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘩 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘥𝘳𝘺𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴, 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘰𝘳, 𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨. Also, this doesn&#39;t give off that stripping kind of feeling, rather my face felt soft and clean after masking which is great since my previous clay mask experience was the opposite. 

At first, I wasn’t quite used to the hardening feeling of the mask on my face but I got used to it but I didn’t finish the entire 20 minutes of masking since I only do it for about 10-to-15 minutes. I was amazed that when splashed on with water this clay mask 𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘭𝘺 𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘰𝘧𝘧! This 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯’𝘵 𝘪𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘮𝘺 𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘯 or cause any breakouts. I’ve observed how this mask helped reduce my blackheads, whiteheads, and was great for sebum control especially on my oily T-zone. My skin texture has also improved and my pores look refined. I used this mask once or twice a week. 

Overall, a great clay mask and good discovery for me! I love a non-drying clay mask! Recommending this for people with pore-care concerns but people with sensitive skin should note there is fragrance in this mask. 

Lastly, from all of the tips Some by Mi has provided on how to use the mask, my favorites were the regular masking with a combination of spray and the 1:1 ratio for deep cleansing!

Please do take note that after dispensing this product can be a bit 𝘳𝘶𝘯𝘯𝘺 and may just flow out 𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘺 which is why after getting some of the product I would immediately close the cap off.

Overall, a 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘥𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘺 𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘦𝘳 that I would recommend for oily and acne-prone skin. People who are sensitive to fragrances may try this cleanser out but please do a patch test first for precautionary measure.

🍵 𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐁𝐲 𝐌𝐢 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐚 𝐏𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐂𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐂𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐆𝐞𝐥 🍵

Clogged pores are one of the reasons that cause skin problems. 
This is a 𝘭𝘰𝘸 𝘱𝘏 𝘨𝘦𝘭 𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘦𝘳 containing 𝟔𝟐% 𝐨𝐟 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐚 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 derived from the high-class Matcha from Boseong, Korea. Matcha is made from removed and stone-grounded stems and veins of Green tea leaves that is made into a fine powder. This also has 𝘯𝘰 𝘴𝘶𝘭𝘧𝘢𝘵𝘦 and helps purify, tightens, and moisturizes pores. It creates 𝒎𝒊𝒄𝒓𝒐 𝒎𝒊𝒄𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒂𝒓 𝒃𝒖𝒃𝒃𝒍𝒆𝒔 that deeply cleanses off any accumulated impurities layered inside the pores. This can be used for daily pore care.
This has a 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘨𝘦𝘭 and a 𝘣𝘪𝘵 𝘷𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘴 consistency. The cleanser has a 𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒄𝒉𝒂 𝒔𝒄𝒆𝒏𝒕to it which I love since I find it very soothing and calming whenever I wash this off my face.
When lathered with water, this 𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘭𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘢𝘮𝘴 𝘶𝘱. This didn’t irritate my skin and didn’t feel too drying to the skin. Rather, after cleansing my face 𝘧𝘦𝘭𝘵 𝘮𝘰𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘻𝘦𝘥 and 𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘯 but not to the point of feeling stripped. When rubbing it on my face I had felt some of the 𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘶𝘭𝘦𝘴 but this was barely noticeable for me at first. When I tried using the cleanser once again I was more aware of it and yes I did feel it every time I used this cleanser but this was 𝓰𝓮𝓷𝓽𝓵𝓮 enough for my skin and 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯’𝘵 𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘪𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯.

This may be too drying for people with dry skin type. Also, there are a lot of plant extracts in this cleanser

🚨  𝐊𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐬 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐫 🚨

This is a vegan-friendly mildly acidic creamy type cleanser for pH balance. It cleanses and refreshes the skin with its pore purifying properties while moisturizes the skin at the same time. 

You&#39;d expect it to be 𝐁𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐊 because of its name but nope it isn&#39;t. 😜 I was wrong! Rather the ingredients incorporated make up for the name - fig, blackberry, soybean, black truffle, seaweed, etc.. 

At first, it was hard to dispense since the tube is packed but after repeatedly using this the product loosens up a bit and it becomes easier to dispense. It is a very thick and 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮𝘺 𝘣𝘢𝘭𝘮 𝘵𝘦𝘹𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦  but when splashed with water and lathered onto the face it 𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘭𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘢𝘮𝘴 𝘶𝘱 and cleanses the face without drying my face up or giving it a tight feeling. At first, you would think it would be way too thick but oh boy it’s not! It is a 𝒈𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒍𝒆 𝒇𝒂𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒍 𝒘𝒂𝒔𝒉 that leaves my skin feeling soft and moisturized afterwards. For the scent, there is only a very 𝒻𝒶𝒾𝓃𝓉 𝒸𝒽𝑒𝓂𝒾𝒸𝒶𝓁 𝓉𝑜 𝓈𝑜𝒶𝓅-𝓁𝒾𝓀𝑒 𝓈𝓂𝑒𝓁𝓁 but this doesn&#39;t bother me. 

So far, I&#39;ve enjoyed and loved using this cleanser! I haven&#39;t experienced any harsh reactions either. However, I’ve read how this was drying to some people with dry skin type. So please do keep this in mind! Better to do a patch test first just to make sure!

Nothing really except if you are sensitive to fragrances the minty smell due to peppermint oil may be an alarm for you! 😢

Just a disclaimer before proceeding to my review. I’ve not used the original serum before so this review is just based on my experience on their new version. 🎉
 
As compared to the original one, this is said to have a more lightweight texture, contains more tea tree extract, #alcoholfree and is recommended for sensitive skin. 
 
This is said to contain 89% skin calming ingredients that are good for effectively soothing irritated skin. Also, the serum contains AHA, BHA, PHA to help gently remove dead skin cells. Panthenol is also present to fill the skin moisture. A functional product to help not only brighten the skin by helping to address dull even skin tone but also to help alleviate wrinkles.
 
Same as the other products in this set, this is said to be fragrance-free but the minty scent it gives off due to peppermint oil is very distinguishable.  It is packaged in a pump bottle for easier dispensing. Then, a reminder to just slightly shake the bottle before using. 
 
I must say this is a very mild serum. I appreciate how it has a green color that is watery to gel and a slightly runny consistency. This is a VERY LIGHTWEIGHT, fast-absorbing serum that doesn’t leave a tacky finish. It is a bit cooling when applied but this sensation doesn’t linger. 
 
Upon application, it didn’t sting or caused any irritation. This helped soothe and calm my irritated and stressed skin and gave off a hydrating feeling leaving my face feeling soft, supple, and calmed down. 💧
 
I love this serum as an oily skin but because it’s so lightweight and easily sinks into my skin I needed to add more of it since when I applied it onto my face before being able to spread only a few would remain so I typically use 3-4 pumps. That’s why for a serum I must say I wish this had a bigger size cause it is only around 2 ½ weeks and I am almost half way through the bottle! 
 
Overall, this is a serum that I can recommend for people who would want a very lightweight soothing serum and to calm angry, problematic, or irritated skin that needs calming.
