Picky

The bottle is quite small, so it runs out quite fast if you use it religiously.

I've been using Naturium's Azelaic Acid Emulsion 10 for a few weeks now, and while it hasn't blown me away, I have to say that I'm quite pleased with the product. The texture of the emulsion is nourishing and it pairs well on the ingredient list with other beneficial ingredients like niacinamide, squalane, and Lactobacillus Ferment.

One of the things I appreciate about this product is how easy it is to integrate into my skincare routine. I've noticed that it helps with postinflammatory hyperpigmentation, which is always a plus. While this product may not have been a game changer for me, I think it's a solid choice for anyone looking to incorporate azelaic acid into their skincare routine.

I recently tried the Hydrating Serum from Byoma and it is nothing short of divine! The silky texture and deep hydration are exactly what my skin needs, and I found myself using it up so quickly because I loved it so much.

One of the things I appreciate most about this serum is the combination of skin-strengthening ingredients like ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids, which work together to support the skin's natural barrier function. Additionally, the inclusion of squalane and glycerin provide an extra layer of hydration and nourishment, leaving my skin feeling plump and supple.

Overall, I would highly recommend this serum to anyone looking for a product that truly delivers on its promises. It's a skin barrier best friend that I'll be repurchasing for sure!

I don’t feel like it’s an essential product, especially for the price. I always try to get it through value packs or sets, along with other Fresh products.

PRODUCT DETAIL

A biphasic water-oil serum to hydrate and soften the skin. 

KEY INGREDIENTS

* Damasc Rose Extract
* Squalane
* Rosehip Oil
* Rosewater

PACKAGING

The hard bottle only allows dispensing through shaking, with makes the two phases mix beforehand.

TEXTURE

Hydrating oil texture.

ABSORPTION

The serum absorbs nicely into the skin, leaving a gentle, plump glow.

OVERALL EXPERIENCE

I really enjoy using this serum before my moisturizer on drier months. The oil percentage is low enough to allow absorption of the moisturizer, but still seal in the previous steps. The skin feels nice and silky at the end of the routine.

Some more hydration would be welcomed with this. It’s a fantastic product overall, but I would actually love to do its job a little bit better.

PRODUCT DETAIL

A plushy soft moisturizer that creates a ritual out of your routine.

KEY INGREDIENTS

• Glycerin
• Boreal Algae

PACKAGING

Even if the moisturizer is in a regular jar, the preservative system works well, so I was not concerned about potential contamination.

TEXTURE

The texture of this moisturizer is HEAVEN. The elegant whipped texture feels amazing on the face and creates a true application ritual out of your routine.

ABSORPTION

The absorption is impeccable and the finish is matte with a soft healthy glow. I would assume it’s a good make-up primer, but I personally don’t use any to know.

OVERALL EXPERIENCE

It’s more of an experience rather than an irreplaceable product in my routine. It’s not the most hydrating or moisturizing cream out there, so I wouldn’t recommend to anyone with very dry skin. It also contains fragrance (which I personally don’t mind), but take that into account before trying. I personally enjoyed a lot using this in my PM routine, so I would love to have it again in the future.

OVERALL EXPERIENCE

Even though this moisturizer has it all, it misses the whole point of actually moisturizing the skin. The effect wears off in about ten minutes after application, so it does not last all night as it’s supposed to. Before heading to bed, you end up with dry skin. I used half of the jar as a probiotic serum and applied something else on top. I really wanted this to be a good product.

PRODUCT DETAIL

Korres Greek Yoghurt Probiotic Nourishing Sleeping Facial is an elegant night moisturizer that soothes your skin and balances the microbiome.

KEY INGREDIENTS

* Greek Yoghurt
* Hyaluronic Acid

PACKAGING

A heavy-glass har packaging that I didn’t mind using. The formula seemed pretty stable over time and I avoid product contamination by washing my hands between steps.

TEXTURE

Luxurious cream texture that I instantly loved upon application. A truly elegant formula.

ABSORPTION

It absorbs nice and quickly without leaving any residue on the skin.
