Glow recipe has always been a brand I want to test out! I have a dry sensitive skin and i’m wondering if this aha bha toner will suit my skin type? Does it worth the $$? 
I am planning on buying the travel size first, but i would like to hear your thoughts 🥰

Does this product worth it ?

I have a pretty dry/dehydrated skin and it drinks up every drop of each product I apply. I’ve been focusing a lot on hydration lately and I’d love to know which toner/essence have helped your skin with dehydration.

Drop your recs below!🥰

Currently, I am using these products but I’m almost out of all of them so I’d love to try new products!

Hydrating toner/essence

I am on the hunt for a new milky toner, so share your favorites down below. 🤗
The one I’ve been using for the last few months is the dive in booster by torriden and I absolutely love it but I also want to try out new products!

What are your favorite milky toners?

i’ve struggled with kp as long as i can remember and these past 4 years it became a real complex for me. 
kp can be commonly found on the upper arms, thighs or legs (my case), it is also know to worsen during the winter months, that’s why preparing your skin for the cold days is so important to prevent itching and dryness.

Alpha hydroxy acids work by gently removing the outermost layers of dead skin cells as they reveal more hydrated skin. Glycolic acid is a really commn AHA. after reading the great comment about the ordinary’s toning solution, i figured out that it was a must to try it. So far, i’m so happy with results, my skin has been less itchy and more hydrated.

retinoids are great to speed cell turnover. So far, i’ve only tried the 0.2% retinol from the ordinary, i personally didn’t experience any irritation (since retinols can be irritating when not used properly). i decided then to go for a higher concentraion for faster results, so i bought the 1% one, and i can’t be more exicted to try it out.

it’s not a secret anymore that urea is the key ingredient to kp, it keeps the skin too moisturized as it attracts and retain moisture. ceramides help soften the skin. 
i’ve been only using the SVR and the Cerave urea creams, and this time i thought it will be a good idea to try the eucerins one which so far has been a blessing to my skin. it’s so hydrating and non sticky at all. I used it 1 til 2 time a day, and it has been helping me a lot with my itchy and rough skin.

Treating Keratosis pilaris (also known as Chicken Skin)

So I purchased the Ordinary alpha arbutin 2% because I heard it helps a lot with acne and hyperpigmentation. I’ve been using it for the last 5 days and I think it broke me out so badly, I have many small pimples (whiteheads) in my forehead and some of them are really red and painful! I usually don’t get breakouts on my forehead, only on my cheeks. 

Have this happened to you before ? I don’t know if my skin is just getting used to alpha arbutin or if I’m sensitive. If you used TO alpha arbutin please share in the comments! 🤍

Alpha arbutin breakouts

This spf does contain rosemary leaf oil which can be irritating for sensitive skin. Personally, I haven’t had any bad experience with it despite having a sensitive skin! 

Benton Cosmetic Air Fit UV Defense Sun Cream Review ☀️ 💫

Claims:

☀️ This organic/chemical sun cream claims to be triple functional product: protecting the skin from the sun’s uv rays, brightening and improving the skin’s wrinkles.

Key ingredients :

🍀centella asiatica: moisturizing, cooling and soothing
💦panthenol: moisturizing, also called provitamin b5
✨dipotassium glycyrrhizate: this is an ingredient derived from licorice root, which helps to protect the skin with a soothing effect and maintenance of healthy skin.
⚖️ tocopherol: also called vitamin E, helps protect skin, maintain balance, and replenish nutrition.

☀️ My experience:

I’ve been using this sun cream for almost 3 weeks now and I apply it during my am routine 20 minutes before going out! I also use it when I’m staying indoors.

This sunscreen has a creamy green texture with a herbal scent to it. Upon application, it absorbs quickly without leaving a white cast. It has a cooling sensation which is great for irritated skin, thanks to centella asiatica. 
The texture is pretty moisturizing yet super lightweight on my dry skin. The best part is that it doesn’t sting or irritate my eyes 🙌🏻which I’ve experienced with a lot of sunscreens I’ve tried before!

Overall, this product is a big hit for me, which is why I will definitely be repurchasing it!

I think everyone can enjoy this sun cream even if I think it works best for dry skin. If you have oily skin, you can always skip your moisturizer since it’s quite moisturizing.

Back with another @coxir_official review. I was gifted this black snail & collagen serum for free from @go.picky in exchange of my honest thoughts!

This is a lightweight serum with a gel-like texture that I’ve been enjoying using during my am & pm routine. It provides a lot of hydration to my dry skin and that’s the main reason why I love it. Other than that, I haven’t seen other benefits from it (which is also understandable since I’ve only used it for few weeks). However, this serum also claims: wrinkle care & skin firming!

The ingredients list here is interesting, it includes black snail secretion filtrate, collagen, allantoin, black rice & more. Upon application, it feels pretty soothing on the skin & doesn’t leave a sticky finish whatsoever. It might take some time to get absorbed but it’s not a big deal imo as long as it doesn’t leave a tacky finish.

It has a very pleasant & sweet smell (I don’t see fragrance in the inci list) but it’s not overwhelming at all, I actually I love it! 

Overall, I think if you have dry & sensitive skin and you’re not a fan of the og snail mucin essence, you might want to give this serum a try, it’s totally worth the money imo, especially for 50ml.



If you’re into k-beauty, you’ve probably heard about the mixsoon bean essence. It’s making a lot of noise but for a reason ✨

This essence claims to be hydrating & exfoliating at once. Now keep in mind, the inci list is very minimal (7 ingredients!!). t’s formulated with skin-loving ingredients such as fermented bean, pomegranate, barley seed and others. While it has that slimy snail texture, it doesn’t contain any snail mucin which makes it a great alternative if you’re vegan 🌱 

Now speaking of my experience, I’ve been using this product for the past two weeks and so far I really like it. As someone with dry skin, this essence has been a life saver as I usually get dry patches every winter 🥲 — When applied, the product might take some time to get absorbed (if you apply a little too much) but I’d say a little goes a long way and you’ll want to avoid that sticky feeling.







No bad side at this point! I just love it !

I started using this urea lotion just after my cerave’s emptied. First of all, I love the texture and how it blends out effortlessly in my skin without being sticky. It is so moisturizing and leaves my skin so smooth. I usually use it on my legs to treat my kp and so far I am so satisftied. My skin doesn’t itch anymore and is much more hydrated.

Key ingredients: ure and ceramides that will help smooth your skin !

I will definitly repurchase it, it’s a great alternative to the cerave’s one!  🧡

🌞 @hyggee_official vegan sun cream spf50+ pa++++ 🌞

First thing first, I love the minimal packaging and it makes me want to try out their chamomile line which sounds so good! Who’s a sucker for a great packaging too?

✨ key ingredients: 

• 5 chemical uv filters
• marine algae extract: antioxidant, helps moisturize and strengthens the skin barrier
• beet root extract: rich in natural minerals, vitamins and antioxidants
• niacinamide: helps with brightening the skin
• this suncream does contain alcohol as the second ingredient in the inci list

✨ my experience:

This chemical sunscreen reminds me a lot of the @b_lab_global matcha hydrating spf! The creamy texture is very lightweight and spreads easily upon application! It also absorbs quickly into the skin.
Due to the high concentration of alcohol, I experienced some tingling especially when my skin barrier was compromised! 

This sun cream is also pretty moisturizing, doesn’t leave a white cast, gives my skin a natural dewy finish and layers beautifully under makeup!

Overall, I love this spf, the only con for me is the high alcohol concentration, however I didn’t experience any irritation. Other than that, I love that it contains some skin loving ingredient and I think this spf will be perfect for summer!

Will I repurchase? Maybe! ☺️
