I just got a huge box from benton without knowing anything and found out that this is an mvp gift from last giveaway event 😭❤

Anyone?

my first time being an mvp 😭

I just started my picky journey like a month ago and I got my first win today! Awww so excited!

OMG MY FIRST WIN

It feels a bit greasy throughout the day. But I still really like to wear it daily.

It's a chemical sunscreen. The texture is cream with greenish color. Veeeery easy to blend. Even though it's green, there's no whitecast at all. Gives a cooling sensation for sometime after applied. I really like how it moisturizes my combination skin, on the other side, it still lightweight. The SPF is 50 PA++++ with blue light protection.

This is definately an overclaimed product. The &quot;30 days miracle toner&quot; tag line is just too much. It&#39;s actually an ordinary exfoliating and calming toner since it mostly contains cica, and a small amount of aha bha pha (that&#39;s why they claimed it as daily toner). But, that&#39;s the problem. I think I over exfoliate my skin by using it twice a day. My skin barrier got damaged and more acne was coming out. That&#39;s why I stopped. It also still contains essential oil.

Had been using this for 2 years when I decided to stop. It is calming, exfoliates gently, and helps my acne to recover slowly yet surely. The price is good for a 150 ml toner. The cica component inside it calms my redness. 0 alcohol.

It feels warm when I apply the product. But it goes away in minutes. Actually nothing bad about the product.

Gel texture. Melts right away after touches skin and become watery. No slimy feeling. Very hydrating. No added perfume so no smell at all.

The greasiness and the PAO. I literally only got to use a single pump at night. How am I supposed to empty it within 3 months? Also it is hard to wear sunscreen after applying this product since it gives a slippery finish. So only for night time, ladies.

Aside from the cons, if you're a vitamin c lover, this product is still worth a try! Who knows if your skin will love it.

At first, I was actually very confused about wether this product is a serum, a moisturizer, or a face oil. The claim is "waterless" and the texture is like a typical ointment. It melts into oil when touches the skin. That's why I'm using it as substitute of a moisturizer & face oil. 

When I first tried the product, I used only 1 pump. It doesn't feel heavy or tacky, but yes, it is greasy. Sadly, I got tiny red bumps here and there the next day. I decided to wait until my bumps were all gone before attempted another trial.

Fast forward, the second attempt. I tried to mix it with water-based toner. So the steps are, cleanser—toner—the mixture of toner & this product, and done. That simple. No serum, cause I was afraid that my skin will be over moisturized and caused more bumps. Turned out, this method worked best for me. The product became easier to absorb, felt lighter, and less greasy. Moreover, no more tiny bumps! I highly recommend this method for those with combination to oily and acne-prone skin. 

I only use it at night since the finish is not so comfortable for day time. Moreover in an everyday-is-a-hot-hot-day tropical country.

The brightening results? It is still too early to notice the improvements. I'm still trying to gradually increase the frequency of using this product little by little. I'll give an update when I see progress.

Oh, about the packaging, LOVE IT. An opaque airless pump with a cap is perfect for a vitamin c product 10/10.

It's very watery. Easy to absorb. No slimy feeling. Hydrating but need to be layered for some parts of my skin. I really like the calming effect. Also very lightweight. No added pefume, so no smell at all.
