Putting all of that good things aside, my skin doesn’t like this cleanser. It breaks my skin out with cystic acne everytime i use it. 

The texture is very different from other gel cleansers that I’ve used and tested out before. It reminds me of aloe vera gel & jam at the same time. Not much water is needed for this cleanser to bubble up. Due to glycerin, rice extract & ginseng root extract, this product is gentle, cooling, soothing & very hydrating. It makes my skin feel soft, clean without stripping the natural oil. Also there is no particular scent & the pH level is 5.5 which is similar to our skin pH levels. It comes in a tube packaging with a twist cap which makes it look sleek and easy to control the amount of the product when needed.  Since the shelf life is 6 months, I think it’s suitable for its amount & price. 

✨ Minus : My skin doesn’t work well with niacinamide. Niacinamide once again plays an important factor in boosting this product to its fullest potential. Since this product contains 4% of niacinamide, My skin just flared up with 2 huge cystic acne. Thanks to centella that contains in this line [Tone Brightening] my skin doesn’t act up as much as i expected. However, I’m still trying my best to fade the PIH that was left on my skin.

✨ Plus : let’s start off with the texture. The texture of this ampoule is watery gel, very light while leaving a slightly oil film before completely drying down. The tiny capsules burst out madecassoside and dissolved themselves whenever I rub it into the skin. My skin feels soothing, moisturized &amp; hydrating. I can see an instant effect of a well balanced skin. After a few days of using it day and night, I can say that the brightening effect is very visible. My overall complexion definitely looks clearer and brighter. The scent is not overpowering, it smells very fresh, like a fresh lime peel? This product is another sensitive skin friendly since it contains a lot of soothing ingredients &amp;amp; double agent ingredients like madecassoside which is known to be soothing while gently brightening the skin. One thing for sure, it definitely worth giving a try if you want something that brightens your skin while remaining really gentle. Similar to the toner from the same line, it is another all rounder. However, I still recommend this ampoule more than the toner due to the interesting texture, user experience and its performance. Plus, it’s an ampoule so the result will be faster and more visible. Once again, I have to mention that the brightening effect is hand on hand at the same level as the toner, it just that the toner works slower.

✨ Minus : This is a me problem here. My skin just doesn’t work out with niacinamide. For the past few years, only a few products passed the niacinamide test for my skin. This product is another one that my skin just says No to. I notice that while my skin is soft, I also get a few small bumps due to this main ingredient.

✨ Plus : Thanks to all the key ingredients like centella and a few enzymes, this toner leaves my skin feeling soft, smooth and very balanced after using it for a few times (gently exfoliating due to enzyme). I definitely notice a brightening effect using this product alone. It is watery, leaves no residue after absorption and there is no scent. This product comes in a huge bottle with a really minimalist design (as expected from skin1004). This product is worth checking out. Honestly, if you’re more fond of using toner than ampoule this product is your way to go. It’s one of those all rounder products meaning that it’ll serve a tiny bit of everything including hydrating and brightening your overall complexion. Not to mention that it also comes in a huge bottle too. The brightening effect of this toner and the ampoule is hand on hand on the same level but this toner definitely takes a while to see the result compared to the ampoule. 

I honestly don’t see myself using this product in the summer when my skin is oily. I personally love glowy finished sunscreen and this product provides a glowing finish. If I use both of them in the same routine, my skin looks oily rather than glowing. This cream contains green tea & penthanol as the key ingredients but I don’t think it’s enough to help with redness or irritation.


This is one of those products that has a very interesting texture (look like condensed milk😂). It felt quite runny & watery, absorbed in fast but definitely needed a min to dry down. I find it deeply hydrated, provides enough moisture for the epidermis and very calming and soothing. This cream from klairs comes in a clear jar and a plastic spoon. I hated the scent of the product at first but I am slowly getting used to it. It seems to have a hint of tea & alcohol😂 (It’s alcohol & fragrance free btw). It layers well with many products and doesn’t cause pilling plus doesn’t cause breakout for my skin. It works well on top of drying products like exfoliation toner.


Although it makes my overall complexion look healthy and glow, somehow someway I always wake up to a whitehead the next morning whenever I use it. (i mean one whitehead everytime🤣)

Personally i find the texture of this cream to be similar to @klairs.global Midnight Blue Calming Cream. Not too light but not too thick either just right especially for someone with oily skin. Whenever I use this cream I wake up with healthiest skin I have never experienced before. My complexion looks clear and glowing. This is one of those creams that will come to your rescue when you just want something simple. It absorb in effortlessly and there is no fragrance added so everyone can use it without any worries.
