I wish it was less stripping but I guess it was made for oily skin. Maybe there is a cleanser in their lines that is better suited to acne prone dry skin. 
I won't repurchase this cleanser as it isn't suited for my skin but this has definitely made me more interested in their other cleansers. 

Skin1004 TEA-TRICA BHA FOAM

I received this product for free from Picky and SKIN1004 in exchange for my honest review.
It's an honor again to have been given the opportunity to review these product from Skin1004.

This cleanser has a very nice texture that foams up very easily. You do not need a lot of it to get a good lather. What's really great about it is how easily it washes of. 

It does leave a squeaky kind of clean feeling so it is better suited for oily skin. If you use a good moisturizer at the end dry skin could probably still be fine though. I only used it every other day and mostly at night as my skin is extremely dry but that method worked for me. 
This might be a good way to ease your way into exfoliation if you don't want to commit to a serum or toner. I can't speak for it's ability to prevent pimples but my skin felt very smooth after every cleanse. I didn't have too many pimples at the moment I started using it so I don't know if it helped much but it does help with slothing off dead skin cells. 
In my personal opinion, the tea tree scent is very strong but I usually don't use scented products so this might not bother others.
As it is a wash off product I don't mind it too much either but if you cannot stand the tea tree scent then you might want to avoid it because it's not that light.



I can't use it well in winter. My dry skin needs more moisture and hydration from this.
In summer this would work nicely though. 

I received this product for free from Picky and SKIN1004 in exchange for my honest review.

It's a chemical sunscreen with newer filters. 
It didn't burn my eyes so that's a plus. 

Texture:
This sunscreen has a nice texture that is easy to spread.
It feels lightweight and hydrating. In comparison to the isntree sun gel I would say it's less hydrating though. To me it actually felt more matte which makes me think it would fit combo to oily better. As a dry skin person the isntree watery sun gel fit me better. So I'm definitely recommending this Skin1004 sunscreen for the more oily people. 

Scent:
There is no fragrance or essential oils in this which is great, but there is a slight scent to it.
It doesn't bother me at all though.

Reapplication:
There is no pilling with this sunscreen. It works well on top of other skincare and reapplication works well. 

Although the scent wasn't unpleasant  I would have like it better without.
For dehydration prone skin I would recommend using a more occlusive layer on top or putting some oil in it.


Coxir Black snail collagen cream

“I received this product for free from Picky and Coxir in exchange for my honest review.” 

This is my first time using a product with snail mucin and I'm very thankful for this opportunity to try it out. 
This is more of a first impression of this cream because it hasn't been long enough for me to have a full review. 

Scent:
So in the ingredients list you see no fragrance per se but that doesn't mean it has no scent. There is a fresh scent that isn't unpleasant but also not exactly light. I normally don't use products with essential oils just because I prefer no scent, but I can imagine for people that like scented products to be absolutely fine with this.
Texture:
It has the typical stringyness you would expect of a product containing snail mucin. It has a very light texture that's fast absorbing. You don't need a lot of it, because it spreads very far so it might last longer.
Initial feeling:
My skin felt super hydrated and plumped out. It looks glowy and very soft. For me the cream didn't feel very sticky, but I think to some people it would be called sticky. 
I had the feeling after some time I had this little bit of a dry feeling again. So at night I would put a sleeping mask on top. 


If your skin is a bit irritated then it tends to burn a bit but it's bearable.
It's something more in general for all sunscreens.
There should be bigger bottles. For how much we need to apply and reapply throughout just even one day the prices for sunscreens are very high.
I would repurchase this if it has a good discount. 

ISNTREE HYALURONIC ACID WATERY SUN GEL

“I received this product for free from Picky and Isntree in exchange for my honest review.”
This was part of the isntree summer set. 

This has been one of the sunscreens that were hyped a lot. Now I know why.
For reference I used the cosrx aloe soothing sun cream before which was a hybrid and felt super thick in comparison. 

Texture:
It felt super watery just like the name suggests and would almost melt and water down after rubbing or just leaving it for a bit on the skin.
It absorbed very fast and you have no problem using the correct amount.
It dries quite fast without drying your skin and I found that it would have a cooling effect which is a nice plus. 

Reapplication:
There is absolutely no problem doing that with this sunscreen. You don't experience pulling or any build up with this sunscreen. It works well on top of other skincare and although I don't use make up, I can tell you could easily put make up on top.

Appearance:
You get the dewy finish that has gotten popular and which I'm not opposed to. It looks very good.
There was no white or grey-cast for me. This is definitely the one I prefer between the sun gel and sun cream. 
The sun cream gave me a noticeable grey-cast around my eyes as my skin is darker there. 
To me the sun gel was better for dry and darker skin while the sun cream was better for oily and sensitive skin. 

Scent:
It's scentless which is great. There isn't even the typical sunscreen scent. 


My eyes were fine with this sunscreen and didn't burn. 


I was initially interested in the concept of having less trouble getting the patch of the plastic. Unfortunately, I somehow felt like I had more trouble trying to rip the plastic apart only so much as to get one patch and not accidentally two. 

I think that these patches don't necessarily stand out that much from other pimple patches by other brands. 
I also thought of cutting out single patches and then ripping off the plastic half but that wasn't that much different to the previous method  and then you would just have another step of having to cut it out. It was too much of a hassle. 
They work fine but for me there are drug store alternatives that only cost 2€ with 36 patches that are super thin and unnoticeable. 
I don't want to have to think about whether or not I can "waste" a patch on this one pimple or not. 
This is not just about these patches but generally patches by most brands are just so expensive for the amount of patches you get.
I wish brands would reduce the packaging as I don't see why it needs to be like 3 times the size of the sheet of patches


Skin1004 SPOT COVER PATCH

I received this product for free from Picky and SKIN1004 in exchange for my honest review. 

These patches come in a pack of 22 with two different sizes: 10mm, 12mm.
I like that there are two sizes for bigger and smaller pimples. 
As long as someone wasn't within a 1m radius the patch was quite hard to spot.
