The Rice Pure Aqua Multi Balm is a ceramide-rich balm that hydrates and soothes dry and irritated skin, with the additional benefits of Rice Extract and Centella Asiatica Extract. This multipurpose balm helps prevent transepidermal water loss, moisturizes skin surface, relieves itchy skin, and improves the appearance of blemishes and pigmentation. 
This was my first balm stick and it was pretty impressive. It leaves no cast or anything and is super lightweight. It goes on smoothly for a thin layer that leaves your skin feeling balmy with a subtle, dewy sheen. It gives a slight cooling effect on application. 
This balm has no added fragrance or essential oils, which I greatly appreciate for my sensitive skin. 
It comes in a 10g plastic container with a twist mechanism and this combo makes it great for travel and easy reapplication. I was impressed by this product and cant wait to try more from this brand. 
Overall, this is a lovely multibalm and would be suitable for all skin types as it does not have a heavy finish and it does everything from hydrating, to soothing and even gives a brightening benefit. 

This product has the tendency to pill and might cause purging, but it's all in all a good one.

This serum contains 10% niacinamide plus 1% zinc salt of pyrrolidone carboxylic acid (PCA) to help control sebum (oil) activity.
This combination can help improve the look of blemishes and congestion in the skin while providing brightening, anti-inflammatory and hydrating benefits to it. 
It comes in a matte white transparent bottle with pipette. The packaging is simple and all details are mentioned on outer packaging.

It is has a lightweight gel-like consistency, is not really exactly runny, comes out clear and absorbs without leaving any residue(might foam or feel tacky if you use more than is required).

This was my first ever serum and although it caused a bit of purging at first -which is why it is recommended that you incorporate it slowly into your routine, my skin absolutely loved it as it helped control sebum production around my t zone. We had a good run.
This is an affordable serum to get if you’re looking to reduce oiliness, shrink enlarged pores, clear blemishes, calm redness and improve your skin tone.


Have you tried this, what was your experience like?

The tea tree oil scent was quite a shocker and might not work for people with fragrance sensitivity. 

This cleanser is formulated with purifying botanical ingredients to soothe, refresh and soften the skin without the stripping feeling. The pH level helps maintain healthy skin by restoring the skin’s optimal pH level and protecting the skin from outer irritants. 
It comes in a no frills simple 150ml squeeze tube with a sturdy cap that is removable and all details are mentioned on the packaging.

It is has a clear and slightly runny gel-like consistency that feels smooth on application to the skin. It lathers pretty well and a little goes a long way. It has a slight tea tree oil scent that takes a little getting used to.

This is a really gentle cleanser that works for all skin types, including sensitive skin types as it is non-stripping and the pH level is low so as to not disrupt the skin's acid mantle. 
Overall, I think it does a pretty good job of cleansing the skin  and is a great choice for anyone looking for a mild cleanser that still works effectively.    
It's pretty affordable for it's size, easily accessible and lasts a decent amount of time, which is a plus.

The Urbanand bubble haircare duo consists of the bubble shampoo and the bubble treatment. They both come in 500ml cute bottles with a convenient pump design that makes for easy dispensing. 
The shampoo gently cleanses the scalp and removes dirt buildup while leaving it at a low ph. The treatment replenishes the scalp and gives a cooling sensation when used on the hair.
They are both foamy texture-wise and have an earthy scent that kinda reminds me of how it smells when it rains.
These are interesting haircare products that claim to add volume, moisture, boost hair shine, and nourish the scalp and I think with continued use, it'd help with my hair volume and also keep my sensitive scalp calm and at bay. I'll know for sure in the long run, but so far I enjoy using these for my hair.
