Hi! I have a congested skin and some say that it's better to use cleansing oil, as micellar has more tendendy to clog pores.

I've been using Micellar ever since, but I'm thinking about switching to cleansing oil.

Edit: I actually use micellar like a cleansing oil. After micellar I proceed to my daily cleanser. Thank you for all of the reponse, you all are a great help!

Cleansing Oil or Micellar Water?

Just a quick question.

Does snail mucin makes your skin more delicate? I was out today and my skin was flushed. It wasn't that sunny, but still it's hot. It looks like my skin is sunburnt, though the most accurate way to describe it is, I look drunk kind of flush lol.

I'm using Jumiso's.

This is the first time and I've been using this product for almost a month now.

Snail Mucin Effects

Hi! I just want to ask if it's okay to use a salicylic acid foam cleanser and glycolic acid in a routine?

(I can't tag the other product, it's not available here in picky app. But same brand.)

salicylic cleanser and glycolic

Hi! What brands offer 100mL or larger amount of ampoules and serums in a rather cheaper but great quality?

One brand I know is SKIN1004... Do you like/love this brand? How did it help your skin?

SKIN1004: Big-sized Ampoules/Serums

Drop your fave gentle/non-stripping cleanser.

Tagged are the cleansers that I use, and I'm thinking of purchasing a more gentle and non-stripping cleanser as I'm going to start using retinol :D

Your recommendations will be greatly appreciated!!! 

(I'm considering Isntree (hyaluronic), I'm from (mugwort), blab (matcha))

gentle facial cleanser

Uhm... So far none. I just hope it's bigger though and has a slight tint...

Super lightweight. No fragrance. No taste when accidentally licked. Lasts long. Does its job 😭

I've been trying out several lip balms since most sits heavy on your lips and makes your lips dry after some time and it's so uncomfortable. But now I can finally settle for this one. Or maybe try another from this brand :D

Subtle fragrance. Bottle.

Pilling. 

I know that you still get tanned even using sunscreen, but I just want to add that this leaves me reddish at the end of the day. Although it's not as worse when I was using another sunscreen with niacinamide, wherein I experienced this burnt feeling every night due to "niacinamide flush".

Fairy Skin Premium Brightening Sunscreen Review

This product is an oil-soluble chemical sunscreen. I really have a positive impression with this product at first. How I was surprised how pretty this product made my skin feel. I was really happy to see that this was real light, moisturizing, and literally non-greasy. No doubt, I'll choose this over more expensive brands as this just suits my skin. 

This also contains soothing ingredients: Centella Asiatica Extract, Polygonum Cuspidatum Root Extract, Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Chamomilla Recutita/ (Matricaria) Flower Extract, and Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf.

BUT this product also contains AVOBENZONE, OCTOCRYLENE, and OCTINOXATE. These ingredients are not uncommon to see in different brands, but these same ingredients were continued to be debated on. As varying groups claim these are not safe for the environment, nor to the human body, thus certain ones were banned. 

These same ingredients as well, are the key why this product feels good to the skin. These helps in making the product easily absorbed, as these are easily absorbed to the skin.

As someone who has oily skin, and prefer chemical sunscreen - I now could grasp why a lot of experts recommend mineral/physical sunscreen. Nonetheless, since I've purchased this, I'd better make the most of it and will find another products safer and suitable for me.

So far, none. Or maybe the smell which is just a light but pleasant smell of usual aloe products (for me), and nothing more.

Indeed a holy grail. This is a clear aloe gel moisturizer, and is the only moisturizer I've been using. The image is my 3rd tube I guess. This does not heavily sit on my skin, and it is not sticky, nor accelarate my oil production. I just love this product.

Dec 2021: As aforementioned, scent (for other people). 

Dec 2022: Amount, kidding, but only if it contains more, this product is a real life-saver.

(I even forgot the shelf life of this product and I'm still using it.)

First review: Dec 2021
Edited: Dec 2022

As of 12/03/2022: 

If I could rate this higher, I will. If you have acne, or real trouble with your skin, too much breakout you can't control, and it seems like you don't know what to use anymore - try this out.

I don't use this daily, and I still have the same bottle. I just remember that I still have a little left of this, so I used it.

I have real trouble with my skin lately, my acne came back, it's all over my cheek. So I decided to use up what's left, using just enough amount for the affected areas. And in 3 days that I've been using this, I could really see how it calmed my skin.

I'm thinking to save up for this and keep this product, since it's a real skin-saver.

Last-minute post review for this wonderful product. I received the product late due to issues with shipping which was resolved, and this last-minute review is because I have not opened my email for weeks due to academic tasks. So here…

𝙀𝙭𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙨:
	The first trial was on December 4, at night. The package includes the Vitamin E Calming Ampoule with other 5 trial sachets. The herbal scent was evident, it is not too strong for me but is enough to put you off if you are particular with scents. You could note its light texture and upon application, there is a bit of a tacky feeling as it just sits on the skin and absorbs after a minute or so. On the same night, I also observed this unknown skin pulling, especially around my mouth, and slight warmth on my skin. The following morning, I observed a very small zit on my temple, and the following day another two above my upper lip and chin. However, this did not stop me from using this product, as it did not cause break out or unusual redness on my skin.
	
	This product is wonderful, and I will keep on using this and observing further. And judging from what I have experienced so far, yes I will purchase another if given the chance as the main trait I find a little off-putting (for other people) is the scent and nothing more.
	
	Thank you @commonlabs._official @go.picky @pickyrewards for this wonderful opportunity, until the next time!

alcohol smell, shiny face, not to be used with heavy creams

big quantity, no whitecast, lightweight, refreshing, didn't broke me out

The water-light sunscreen gel applies and feels like Japanese lotion to gently protect skin against strong UV rays. Hyaluronic acid and plant extracts keep skin hydrated throughout the day. It has refreshing sensation with an invisible finish that is ideally suited for everyday use. - IncideCoder

It is indeed water-light with an invisible but dewy finish. And feels refreshing upon application but makes me feel greasy at time passes. I purchased this sunscreen because of the size which is 140 grams, and it also has available refill so you can reuse the bottle. 

But the big downside is the overpowering smell of alcohol. When I asked my sister how it smells like, she said it smells like cheap lotion and glue. So I use an aloe moisturizer during daytime instead of cream to somehow lessen the greasiness I feel. 

But the thing is, this would be really great with dry skin despite the fact that it has alcohol in it. Would I recommend it to people with the same skin as I am? Yes, if you are looking for a bigger sunscreen than usual, considering as well the price. Yes, if you don't mind the strong scent. 

Will I purchase this again? So-so. If I can't find a new one that will not leave whitecast and this much greasiness after hours of usage, I think not. But the thought of availability of refills and reusing the bottle is also appealing, plus it didn't broke me out. So, so-so.
