Can't believe I finally won a giveaway (after applying for so many lol). It's kind of a coincidence as I'm currently finishing another niacinamide product in my skincare routine so I'm can't wait to see how different niacinamide products work on my skin. This tiam serum contains 20% niacinamide ,which is also an upgrade for my skin routine as my previous one was 10% and I think my skin is already used to it. It also contain zinc and salix , which are well known in controlling excess sebum and minimise the appearance of pores. Overall I can't wait to try this serum soon and give it a review. I do hope that it can improve my skin texture(common oily skin problems😭)

My first picky giveaway 😍

I was quite surprised this came in my mail today because I didn't receive any email regarding shipping updates so I thought mine haven't been shipped out yet. But guesssss what it's hereeeeeeee yayyyy I can finally start trying these wonderful products from ruruberry , same as always, stay tuned for my review 😉😉

Psss: look at those beautiful words printed on the box and the card, love it. 

*Special thanks to Picky Team and Ruruberry😘

Surpriseeee 🤩🤩🤩

Thank you PICKY team for choosing me as a reviewer😘Big kisses to yall.I'm so excited right now and I can't wait to try the products from ruruberry. It's quite interesting cause my last review was about another niacinamide serum from TIAM(which I won from last giveaway)  and I've tried the classic The Ordinary. I think it's a good chance for me to try out and see how it works between all these niacinamide serum on my skin and share it with those who want to try niacinamides as well😆. Stay tuned for my review😉.

Yay Second Win 😚😚

Good day beauties, so I'm gonna talk about something quite unrelated to skincare this time. 

I'm currently testing products that I received from last giveaway and is it just me or other discussion about the same product always caught more of my attention. I just like to see how the same product works on different person and skin types. But recently as I scroll through the discussions I saw two very similar discussions, almost 80% I can say. I know that reviewers might have similar opinions on one product, but the sentence structure and phrase used in the discussions are completely the same. I'm not judging if people are referring to each other, i mean we all learn from experience right, but such circumstances that almost looks like copying do make me feel unease. 

Maybe I'm just being paranoid😂 Also, do leave a comment to tell me if you beauties get attracted to discussions/reviews on the products that you have on hand.

Hi beauties, this is my first time posting a discussion. So today I wanna talk about my own experience during the use of this tiam pore minimising serum that I won from picky giveaway earlier this month. First, thank you picky team for giving this chance and let's cut straight into the review( I wanna make it clear and simple) :

🌱Packaging🌱
•Black-themed box and bottle(which I personally likes)
•Bottle made of glass which is quite heavy
•40ml 

🌱Main ingredients🌱
• 20%Niacinamide
• 1%Zinc pca

Extra notes: I noticed that there's also willow bark water which is good in controlling sebum and gentle exfoliating.

🌱Claims🌱
• Tighten pores
• Regulates sebum production 

🌱Texture🌱
•Watery and light type of serum
•0 stickiness with appropriate amount used
•Transparent liquid with almost no smell

🌷My own impression🌷
This serum feels totally weightless and absorbs well on my skin with controlled amount(for me I only use 3-4drops to avoid stickiness). After almost 3 weeks of using it, I can see obvious changes in my skin tone which is more brighter and radiance. It also speed up metabolism of my skin and reduce some blackheads.

Extra notes: I've been suffering from oily,acne-prone and congested skin for almost 7 years. I'm fully aware that pores can't actually be 'Tighten' once it's form, so I'm still impression that this serum makes a big difference on my skin tone. Besides, this serum also leaves my skin feeling soft and pumped the next morning.

♡PROs♡
~Light weight with appropriate use
~Even skin tone
~Whitens skin
~Gently exfoliates by boosting skin metabolism
~Regulates sebum production 
~Glowy and soft skin 

◇CONs◇
~Does not 'tighten' pores on my skin
~Skin feel stickiness if overused (My dumbass used 1 whole pump on my skin during first trial lol)

Overall rating: I would give it a 4 star being a whitening serum as I really like the watery texture and whitening effect. Sebum control is not as effective as TO's but totally understandable due to the high concentration of Niacinamide. However it did not tighten pores as it claims. 

Repurchase: ●●○○○
Rather than skin tone, I'm more into pores and acne concerns but it's worth the try for those who wants to improve their skin tone.

Above reviews are based on my own experience. Results might differs according to different skin and body. 
Feel free to leave your experience if you've also tried this serum🥰

🌷My own impression🌷
Ive been testing both products for 2 weeks daily. For the serum, I use a whole pump for my whole face every night. It absorb very quickly into my skin although it has a very thick texture as a serum, and my face feels weightless as if I&amp;#39;ve applied nothing(big ❤ for this). The matte effect is very obvious throughout the day and my pores really did seems &amp;#39;smaller(I&amp;#39;m like: whatttttt). 

Extra notes: I&amp;#39;m quite impressed that this Niacinamide serum actually works in minimising the appearance of my pores, as I&amp;#39;ve tried another 2 brands which just improved my skin tone.

🌷My own impression🌷
I like the fact that it&#39;s non stripping and cleanses my face well. I accidentally got some cleanser into my eyes( yes again) and it doesn&#39;t sting at all, just a bit uncomfortable,like getting water in my eyes? The cleanser did a great job in boosting and maintaining moisture with a proper cleanse against sebum and sunscreen. 

♡PROs♡
~Doesn&#39;t strip skin&#39;s hydration
~Gentle enough to no hurt my eyes 
~Does a proper job as a cleanser would.

Don&#39;t think I&#39;ll repurchase it as it is quite pricy for me and works average.

Overall this face wash does clean my skin pretty well and does not strips away moisture. The smell is kinda relaxing with the calendula herbaceous smell.

My skin breaks out a little if I didn't mange to wake up early and wash my face or apply sunscreen. But it's common for retinol products so I don't really consider it as a con.

🦭Main ingredients🦭
- 3% Niacinamide
-0.09% active retinol
-peptide
-pomegranate 

🍵Claims🍵
-Delay early aging signs
-Maximize skin cell regeneration process
-Improve skin texture 
-Brightening 

🍵Texture🍵
- Almost like an essence but it's kinda refreshing 
-Fast absorbing 

🌷My own impression🌷
I personally use this toner as an essence/serum because the it's quite nourishing?? yet it absorbs very well and fast on skin. The results were obvious on my skin texture even through I've only use it for 2 weeks. There wasn't any irritation while using it. 

♡PROs♡
-Quite hydrating as a toner
-Did not cause any irritation as a retinol product 
-Obviously improved skin texture= less visible pores
-Less bumpy/congested skin 

The sheet itself doesn't fit my face ,especially around the sides of my nose and under my lips. 

🦭Main ingredients🦭
-Retinol
-Peptide
-Green tea, Raspberry and Oatmeal extract 

🍵Claims🍵
-Delay early aging signs
-Maximize skin cell regeneration process
-Improve skin texture 
-Brightening 

🍵Texture🍵
-Watery type of esssence(dripy)
-Thin mask sheet 

🌷My own impression🌷
Because I used it together with the retinol toner so I think both of them are working well for my skin. There's obvious brightening on my skin after applying this mask, the essence is not sticky or oily afterwards so it's a *Thumbs-up* for in sheet mask collection. 

♡PROs♡
-Works what it claims 
-Light texture 
-Not residue or stickiness
