Have you guys tried Aestura 360 cream? It's trending on Instagram right now. I am tempted to buy this. Please share your reviews

Have you tried the trending Aestura cream?

I always experience Itchy skin after using native deo as well as when I spray perfume directly on my underarm area. My skin becomes dark too. Any suggestions? What deos work best for you? Is there any solution for itchiness?

Has anyone experienced Itchy skin after using deo sticks/perfumes underarm?

Also please mention your skin type and conditions if any (like acne/open pores/rosacea etc)

If you can use only 1 sunscreen for the rest of ur life, what will it be?

I haven't won even a single giveaway this year😕. Its really disheartening. I've been applying for almost every giveaway before deadline. I've even rechecked my personal details as mentioned by picky but that's not an issue. I think something is quite not right.

Is anyone really winning the giveaways by picky?

I follow odilemonod on Instagram and YouTube and trust her blindly. She has introduced me to real trending Korean skincare products and not the Instagram popular ones. We need more influencers like her.

Name one korean skincare guru/blogger that you trust the most

It's pricey.
Performance wise, there is no negative I can think of.

I hate powders because they make my skin look powdery, super matt and emphasize the texture on my skin. But this one is chef's kiss. It doesn't take away my skin's glow. It's not at all powdery. It is super lightweight yet sets makeup in place.
I will forever repurchase this product. It has reached HG status.

Both formulations transfer a little but milani nailed the formulation for 1/4th cost.

This product is an exact dupe for Pat McGrath matt Trance Lipstick. 
The formulation is a spot on dupe. It is between soft and creamy...kinda velvety & it's a very highly pigmented lipstick. 
The shade that I own is 'Passion' . In the site the shade is described as medium mauvy nude. 
Pat mc grath lipstick shade that i am talking about is in shade flesh 3. It is tad bit darker compared to this milani lipstick. But on lips they look very similar. 
The lipstick lasts on the lips for a long tym too

I haven't tested it to its full potential yet. So can't point any at the moment. Will use it for a few months and update if any.

I am not yet ready to use prescription strength retinol. When i saw this set on picky claiming this retinol to be less irritating and more effective, i quickly participated in the giveaway and won this set.

This set that I got is claimed to be a low irritating, high effective, vegan retinoid. It has a European patented ingredient retinyl retinoate, which they say is 8x better in collagen synthesis compared to retinol and It also increases hyaluronic acid production more than other retinoids and is less of an irritant. 

I've started using it recently, so I haven't been able to test it to its full potential yet. But so far, I like it. The serum like gel glides smoothly on the skin and doesn't dry my skin. Note that I use it only 1x a week. From next month, I will increase the frequency to 2× a week and will update u on the gentleness of the product.

This set comes with 3 additional travel size bottles, and I absolutely love the packaging.  I can carry it with me to anywhere without fearing about the leakage of the cream.
 Some notable ingredients in this product are 300ppm (0.03%) retinyl retinoate , madecasoside, jeju aloe, and low molecular weight  hyaluronic acid.

How to use?
Apply 1 or 2 pumps on your face after cleansing . Follow sandwich method to prevent ur skin from drying/stinging/burning, etc. (cleanse - cream - serum - cream). If you have sensitive skin/are new to vitamin A products, adjust the frequency of usage. (eg. use it once a week for 2 weeks →then use it 2 times a week for 2 weeks, etc.)

⚠️Things to keep in mind before using this product:
Avoid use when pregnant or lactating.
Avoid using immediately after exfoliating.
Avoid using it together with vitamin C or acid products(AHAs, BHAs,PHAs, etc).
If skin irritation occurs while using the product, reduce the amount or frequency of use and discontinue use if irritation persists.
Avoid applying retinol products on damp skin.

After pressing the cap down, all the powder is not released at once into the bottle. I had to shake the bottle 2min for the powder to get combined 

I never really liked any vitamin c products before. It might be because I had very high expectations about the performance of that active ingredient. But all the products that I've used never really delivered what I expected except this ampoule that I am going to review today.

What is an ampoule?
Ampoules are a highly concentrated version of a serum.

Ingredients:
The main active ingredients in this pure vc mellight ampoule are 10% pure vitamin c powder, idebenon(antioxidant which is proven to be 4x stronger than vit c), tranexamic acid(fade dark spots, discolorations, and melasma), glutathione( skin-brightening agent but is also known to reduce wrinkles, fine lines and improve skin elasticity)& blue chamomile oil(powerful anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory, which can be very helpful in reducing redness from Rosacea, broken capillaries, and inflamed skin).

About this product:
The vitamin c powder is actually kept separate from the ampoule and we have to mix it in right before using it by pressing the cap down. This helps preserve the integrity of the active ingredient. I really like the thought because most of the vit c products oxidize quickly making the product to go waste.

They even mentioned each and every step on the bottle in detail from how to mix, application process to storing the bottle which makes our life easy.

Pros:
The texture of the ampoule is slightly sticky but gets absorbed easily into the skin without leaving any greasy residue. It definitely helped in evening my skin tone. To my surprise it also reduced the small bumps and acne that I've got on my forehead and cheeks. Within just a week, I've observed lightening of an acne scar that I had. It truly is a potent formulation which I am adding to my repurchase list.

Keeping it on for 3 to 5hrs is not something everyone would enjoy and is pricey.

Post masking, my skin became radiant, glowing, well hydrated, tight and this mask helped minimize pore size and reduction in redness
