The packaging of this cleansing oil is quite practical, featuring a sturdy plastic bottle with a pump and a lock mechanism to prevent spills. The pump makes it easy to dispense the right amount of product, and the lock adds an extra layer of security for travel or storage. However, despite the locking feature, I occasionally found that the oil would leak, leaving the box greasy. This minor flaw detracts from the overall convenience, especially when it comes to keeping everything clean and mess-free. In terms of texture, the oil is pleasantly lightweight and runny, which makes it easy to spread across the skin. It feels gentle and smooth, allowing it to glide effortlessly without feeling heavy or sticky. While the scent is not to my taste, leaning toward something I find a bit off-putting, the product itself performs well. It effectively removes daily sunscreen and makeup, and emulsifies easily with water, leaving no greasy residue behind. My skin feels incredibly smooth afterward, and it even helps to dislodge whiteheads, which is a bonus for clearer pores.

The packaging of the XYCOS Cica Green Cleanser is minimalist and clean, with a simple white and green design that gives it a fresh, eco-friendly vibe. The brown flip-top cap is functional and sturdy, making it easy to open and close securely. The nozzle is well-sized, allowing to dispense the right amount of product without any fuss. While basic in appearance, the packaging is effective and travel-friendly. The texture of the cleanser is a clear gel that has a subtle, herbal scent that is pleasant and not overpowering. To achieve a good lather, it's important to add plenty of water, as it doesn’t foam much on its own. Once it foams, it spreads nicely and rinses off easily without leaving any residue behind. After use, my skin feels matte and fresh, and over time it has helped brighten my complexion, leaving it smoother. While it effectively removes regular makeup, sunscreen, and daily impurities, it struggles a bit with waterproof products like mascara and lip stains, making it necessary to use a first cleanser for heavy-duty makeup removal.

The XYCOS Cica Green Serum comes in a sleek, brown-colored plastic bottle with a white pump and matching brown cap, creating a simple yet professional look. The pump is designed for convenience, dispensing just the right amount of product without any hassle. It's easy to control, which prevents wastage, and the lightweight plastic bottle makes it perfect for travel. The cap fits securely, keeping the pump clean and protected, so I don’t have to worry about spills in my skincare bag. As for the texture, the serum has a light, runny gel consistency that spreads effortlessly on the skin. The subtle herby scent adds a refreshing and soothing touch to the experience, which I personally find quite calming during application. Once applied, it melts into the skin, leaving a soft, comforting sensation without any stickiness. I particularly love how it delivers a mattifying effect, controlling excess oil while still maintaining a healthy, radiant glow. My skin feels balanced, oil-free, and hydrated, with an immediate calming effect on any redness or irritation. In terms of performance, this serum does an excellent job at making my skin feel supple, smooth, and calm, with visible improvements in controlling oil and reducing blemishes. It’s a great option for those with oily or acne-prone skin seeking a balance between mattifying and glowing results.

The SOME BY MI Retinol Intense Reactivating Serum Essence comes in a tough glass bottle and super convenient for traveling. It features a pipette applicator, making it easy to control how much product you use, keeping everything clean and hygienic. The packaging looks elegant with its signature purple color, giving it a luxurious vibe on your vanity. Plus, the pipette size is just right, so you won’t end up using too much product at once. The texture is creamy but still lightweight when applied to the skin. It absorbs quickly without leaving any sticky residue, so it’s perfect for oily skin or for summer routine. After application, it immediately feels moisturizing, leaving the skin plump and smooth. What I love is that, despite containing retinol, there’s no stinging or irritation—perfect for beginners or those with sensitive skin. The scent is subtle and soft, making it enjoyable to use without being overpowering.

KAINE products just never failed to amaze me! This vegan collagen cream has silky and creamy consistency, condensed, and not runny. This reminds me of a satin cream. When I put it in my skin, it slides like butter that moisturizes my skin with relaxing soft floral scent. I've been using this for 6 months and my skin looks more plump, hydrated, and smooth. I love how it gave my skin a bit of glowy, satin finish that is not greasy. If you have oily acne prone skin, don't worry about it makes the skin oily or breakouts, cause it doesn't! Just one of my holygrails🤍

This eye cream has a creamy emollient texture which spreads nicely on the skin. I also feel it's kind of humectant, as it hydrated my eye area really well. It doesn't have any unpleasant smell. It's very lightweight yet moisturising the eye area. After using it for 1 month, I noticed that my dark circles are improved. It looks slightly brighter. As I still don't have any fine lines, I hope it'll be a great prevention in the future.
