COSRX Advanced Snail 92 All In One Cream is a good moisturising cream for normal to oily skin, specially for those who have dehydrated oily skin. It's very difficult to find the right moisturizer for dehydrated oily skin , I know the pain because I had to go through a period where I would do extensive research and study just to find the right moisturizer. Cause the moisturizer made for acne prone oily skin sometimes leaves the skin dehydrated and feeling tight. Cause those moisturizer sometimes lack those occlusive ingredients to trap in the moisture because those ingredients make the skin more oily. It's a vicious cycle of trying to stop oil production in turn making it produce more oil. But then I bought this product reading some good reviews and I have to say it didn't let me down. It contains 92% snail secretion , allantoin, panthenol and some other good occlusive ingredients. Pros: it didn't leave my skin feeling heavy or didn't trigger my sebum production. I was pleasantly surprised after using this as it left my moisturized without making it oily. It also somewhat improved the texture of my skin, making it a bit softer. Overall I would give this A++ .

This is quite a strong cleanser. It has a pH level of 9-10 which is quite high. It contains willow bark extract, tea tree extract which are quite effective in soothing skin as well as give a gentle exfoliating effect. It is very effective in removing dirt ,excess sebum and also improving clogged pores. It is also good for acne prone skin. Packaging and texture: It comes in a squeezable tube and it has a thick milky texture. It foams up quite a bit so a little amount is needed for the whole face and neck. It has no smell whatsoever. My experience: I have a love and hate relationship with this product. It really helped in times when I had a lot of acne but it also dries out my skin. My skin felt very dehydrated but oily. I had a hard time dealing with my dehydrated skin. Now I only use it when I have acne. I also use it for my back acne and it removes them very nicely. Pros: Removes dirt, oil, dead skin cells effectively Helps in removing acne Little goes a long way No fragrance

About the brand: The thought behind the brand name really moved me. The name SKIN1004 carries a deep meaning behind it. In Korean 1004 is cheon-sa which also means angel. So it represents Skin angel who brings us untouched nature as they claim. How do they bring us untouched nature? They have sought the process of GACP farming which means only the specially trained pickers from 17 certified regions of Madagascar are hired for centella farming to prevent raw material contamination. What is centella? Centella Asiatica also called Cica is known as the leaf that brings life, which is found in Madagascar the oldest Island on earth. This leaf is known for its healing and protecting properties. It is rich in antioxidants which help in reducing inflammation and combat redness and acne. It is also rich in amino acid which helps to improve skin elasticity and fight signs of aging. It also helps in strengthening weakened and compromised skin barrier. Centella is a multifunctional ingredient which has become popular in Korean skincare realm and thanks to SKIN1004 we are getting the benefits of untouched and pure ingredient. SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule: it contains 100% centella asiatica extract. It is formulated at an optimum pH between 5 & 6 which is the natural pH of healthy skin. Packaging & texture: It comes in a luxurious looking yet simple glass bottle of 100 ml with an L- shaped pipette for dispensing the amount needed. It has a watery consistency with no fragnrance. My experience: I have used it daily for the last 12 days and I found it very soothing for the skin. It instantly cools down the skin after application. I have noticed some reduction in the active spots but it didn’t heal them completely, I guess I need to use and observe it for a longer period of time. I have also noticed a healthy glow in my skin so that’s a plus. Overall I would give it 4 out 5. I just need more time to form a proper understanding of the effects of the product. Thank you for gifting me this amazing product.

Review of Madagascar Centella Tone Brightening Capsule Cream by skin104. I really like skin1004 products. Maybe it's centella asiactica - their signture ingredient that makes all their cosmetics I've used really work for me. So I wasn't hesitating to try this brightening cream for my dark spots. And as always I wasn't disappointed. 🍑 Product description This soothing cream brightens dull skin while calming irritation. This is also pefect revitalising cream for sensitive skin. 🍑 Key ingredients Wow ❤️. I'm so impressed how the ingredient list is full of goodies. There's nothing bad there. So I think I mention only superkey ingredients: 👍Niacinamide - for evening skin tone and anti-inflammation 👍Tranexamic acid - for reducing dark spots 👍Alpha-bisabolol - for healing and soothing This cream contains shea butter so those with oily skin keep that in mind. 🍑 Quick info Package: 75ml transparent, white tube Scent: none Texture: light, fast absorbing with little madecassoside white beads Color: white PAO: 12 months 🍑 My impressions Tone Brightening cream is the one I've chosen for my post acne dark spots. Getting rid of those takes some time, so I wanted to add more products to my daily routine. This cream is very light, fast absorbing and not sticky at all. It has little white madecassoside beads that quickly melts on the skin. After using it my complexion is more smooth and dewy. It's also prefect day time moisturizer. Although it contains shea butter I didn't experience any clogged pores or breakouts with my combo skin type. Overall I really like it ❤️❤️. I have noticed steady improvement in my skin condition but I guess it'll take some time to even completely and this cream surely helps with that.

Skin1004 TEA-TRICA BHA FOAM: Foam cleanser formulated with acne prone & troubled skin in mind. This special concoction is infused with BHA(salicylic acid), Pine tree complex(Cypress water + King pine leaf extract + Tea tree leaf water), Cica, Cacao seed extract to deeply cleanse &remove 3 main reasons for acne (Makeup& SPF residue, excess sebum & pore clogging waste) at the same time relieve irritated skin & revive skin's natural healthy state.

It has a mild creamy consistency with a light mint green tint to it. It lathers into foam readily so only a small amount is needed. It is accompanied by a pleasant tea tree aroma which goes away after washing. My expereince: I have dehydrated oily acne prone skin. Some cleansers which target acne prone skin can make the skin dry. I had similar experience with such cleansers but as someone who has very acne prone skin this is the one area where I compromise and use such drying products but in turn I have to use heavy moisturizers which makes the skin too oily which again breeds more acne. This is a vicious cycle that I can't escape. But this product surprised me, I have been using it for a few days & it worked in balancing my oil production but I didn't feel like it was drying out my skin. The answer is in the amount, even while reading about the product I noticed that they mention to use a pea size amount. We always tend be heavy handed with cleansers & in case of this type of cleanser the trick is in the amount, if you use correct amount you will get the benefits they claim but if you use too much it will make your skin dry. Within a few days of regular use this cleanser has become my favorite cleanser. It is really effective in reducing my active acne. I have been prescribed a Vitamin B complex supplement & because of that I am breaking out like crazy. So this product came like a blessing during this tough time. I would definitely get this again. Overall I will rate it 4.5 out 5.

I received this product for free from Picky and Dear, Klairs in exchange for my honest review. Light weight serum thats none greasy and quickly absorbs. Its super gentle and a great starter vitamin c serum. I can apply this daily without irritation of any kind.

~Gifted, but opinions are my own~ #pr #gifted #sponsored 🌞PRODUCT AND SIZING: Tia’m Vita B3 Mist, 200 ml 🎁PRESENTATION: It comes in a lemony translucent plastic bottle with a mist pump. 💦STAR INGREDIENTS: It contains 3% niacinamide and tranexamic acid. 🌺TEXTURE and SCENT: This is clear and watery. It has no scent and does not contain any fragrance. 👨‍🦱 MY THOUGHTS: This is my first time using this mist. It has less niacinamide than the serum and is beginner friendly (although I don’t think I have personally experienced any adverse reaction to niacinamide). Its mist (after an initial a few times) is super fine, and this feels refreshing on the skin without any filmy residue or after-feel. It is light, and it does not drip either. It gives a nice glow in addition to hydration to my skin without looking greasy. Although it has been a bit cooler this week in Illinois, I look forward to using this on hot summer days when I skip a heavy moisturizer. Also, it comes in a generous size. 👐 PAIRING: I used this with various products, including Acwell toner, May Coop raw sauce, Ohui Age Recovery eye cream, and Benton sunscreen. Others may have different experiences based on skin types, products they use, environmental conditions, etc.

My skin also look brighter and my skin tone looks more even now. I was amazed by how this worked as I was not expecting this much change in 2 months. But note that I have used it religiously for 2 months I haven't taken a break from this except on the exfoliating days. It can only be used in PM so I used in everyday in my evening routine. It is very lightweight and very little is needed to apply over the whole face and neck. It didn't leave my skin greasy but it gave a glow to my skin which I notice comes from facial oils. I can't say anything about their melasma claim as I don't have melasma but I think from how effectively it worked it will work for melasma as well. All in all I loved it . ✅Pros: Reduces melasma, hyperpigmentation, dark spots and blemishes. Gently exfoliates Non irritating for skin Suitable for all skin types Makes skin brighter Improves uneven skin tone Free from fragrance and irritants
