Hi loves, I have tried using the COSRX BHA toner to reduce blackheads on my nose but its quite stubborn and wouldn't go away. Does anyone have any recommendations other than the Paula's Choice BHA? I hope to find something more affordable! Thank you:)

Recommendations to reduce blackheads?

I would like to find a non comedogenic moisturiser, preferably more water based because i think thick moisturisers are too heavy for my skin. I appreciate any recommendations! Thank you!! 

about me: 
-i live in singapore so its really humid and hot
-i have oily skin so it gets really oily especially with the weather

Moisturiser recommendations?

Often, korean beauty and skincare is catered towards fairer skin people. Anyone has any recommendations for products that suits tanned/darker skin? Looking to try new products especially sunscreen (that does not leave a white cast on me)😄 Let me know below!

Any holy grails for my fellow tanned skinned people?

Does it actually work for de-bloating the face and where did you get yours from?

Do you use a guasha in your routine?

My favourite sunscreen!
💙 Type: Chemical sunscreen
💙 Texture: Watery and almost gel-like texture! It glides on to the skin really smoothly and absorbs fast. Leaves almost no residue which is perfect for my oily skin😁
💙 Application: Since it is a chemical sunscreen, there is no white cast! Recommended for darker skin tones like mine!
💙 Smell: No strong smell and does not irritate my skin
💙 Reapplication: No piling, very easy to reapply!!


It left a really bad white cast on my darker toned skin:( Because it has a really thick texture, there was piling during reapplication. Do not recommend this unless you are fair skinned and looking for some tone-up effect in your sunscreen.

I love the packaging! Decently affordable. It is a mineral sunscreen.

There was nothing that I did not like with this product.

I received this product for free from Picky and BACIEL in exchange for my honest review.

Firstly, I love the brand and their values because their products are EWG certified and you can definitely tell that the brand cares about the user’s skin and does not include non-essential ingredients (such as fragrance) for the aesthetic. Secondly, I love the texture of this toner! It’s relatively viscous so that means that the product doesn’t pour out of the bottle super quickly and  get everywhere which wastes product LOL. Regarding the actual toner, the ingredients are sooo soothing and hydrating and it doesn’t leave behind a residue after application. It is recommended to apply the toner in layers and that worked well for me!

It’s one of the first products I have used that has such an impressive ingredients list! (literally all the ingredients on INCIDecoder are green) I would repurchase this (but looks like I won’t have to for a while because it's 200ml!!) and definitely recommend this especially to those with oily and sensitive skin 

Upon use, I found that the serum smelt pretty strongly of chemicals (not sure if it is just me because I have not seen anyone mentioning this). The serum itself is pretty light and absorbs into the skin, but the jojoba oil left an obvious sheen on my face, which unfortunately did not work well with my oily skin:( My skin was wayyy too oily after a few hours.

I like the concept of the serum and its purpose to brighten the skin with the key ingredients. It is a lightweight serum that is easily applicable on to the skin. The formulation is really good too! I love that it is fragrance, alcohol, essential oil free:)
