theskinilivein
Claims: A soft oil-based cleanser that gently but effectively removes makeup, sunscreen, sebum, dirt, debris, and impurities, leaving the skin clean and moisturized. Container: 100 g jar Color: White (melts transparent) Texture: Sorbet balm Scent: None Key ingredients: • Lactobacillus/Soybean Ferment Extract - Brightening • Hippophae Rhamnoides ans rice bran oils - Dissolve makeup and sebum, emollient • Rice seed water - Brightening • Oatmeal extract, coix lacryma-jobi ma-yuen seed extract, rice extract - Soothing • Glycerin - Moisturizing How I use it: As a first cleanse step, I apply 1/2 teaspoon of cleansing balm into the palm of my hand, make it melt into an oil by rubbing it in between the palms of my hands, and rub it all over my face, making sure to solubilize my makeup and sunscreen if wearing any. Next I emulsify it by wetting my hands in water and rubbing it on my face. Finally, I rinse it all off with water. I follow with a second cleanse step using a regular face wash. Verdict: • What I liked about this product: This cleansing balm comes in a large amount in a very pretty and convenient jar packaging that includes a small plastic spatula that you can take while traveling. The product is a beautiful natural white ivory color, has no noticeable scent and a sorbet-like texture. The balm turns into a medium weight oil upon contact with the palm of my hand and glides effortlessly on the skin upon application. It does not feel oily or heavy, emulsifies into a milky consistency upon contact with water, and is easy to rinse off without blurring or irritating the eyes. It removes makeup and sunscreen effectively and leaves the skin clean and smooth without being drying. I also love the rice and ferment derived ingredients and the fact that it's affordable. The hype is real.

“Buffet”
Peptide Serum that helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles and leaves the skin hydrated.
ishiskin
𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: a multi-technology peptide serum that combines a comprehensive array of studied technologies to target multiple signs of aging at once. 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬: •a range of different peptides and amino acids to target signs of aging and hydrate the skin •lactococcus ferment lysate is an interesting fairly new probiotic ingredient. It is said to positively influence both the speed and quality of epidermal growth that results in better barrier function and overall skin quality 𝐁𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐭𝐬: •reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles •build the skin barrier •increases skin’s surface hydration •smooth textural irregularities 𝐌𝐲 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞: ✅: though I did not purchase this myself (gifted by my sister), I would consider repurchasing in the future and here’s why - this buffet has plumped, smoothed and hydrated my skin to a whole new level! The mixture of both peptides to smooth the skin and amino acids to hydrate the skin is a powerful duo that my young skin appreciated - it also worked really well alongside my ordinary amino acid serum (I have a review on that so do check it out)! My skin not only feels great but it’s no longer so dull and dehydrated. Since I’m quite young, I didn’t really observe the benefits of smoothing fine lines and wrinkles so I can’t speak much on that behalf. However, I do recommend this serum towards those who want to firm up droopy skin, and insanely hydrate and smooth the skin! It’s especially beneficial towards dehydrated skin.

The texture of the product is light, which is great for people with sensitive under-eye area like me, and only a small amount is needed for both under-eye areas.

ZOMBIE BEAUTY by SKIN1004 Bloody Peel
Deep exfoliator that works quickly to avoid too much skin irritation. Helps with skin texture and pores.
theskinilivein
I received this product for free from Picky and ZombieBeauty in exchange for my honest review. Claims: Exfoliates, improves skin texture, and makes skin radiant. Container: Dropper bottle (30 mL) Color: Bloody red 👻 Texture: Thick and serum-like Scent: Slight medicine-like smell Key ingredients: • 17% Glycolic acid (AHA) - Surface exfoliant • 2% Salicylic acid (BHA) - Deep exfoliant • Apple extract - Gentle exfoliant, skin brightening, hydrating • Niacinamide - Pore care, brightening • Glycerin, shea butter- Moisturizing • Olive oil, squalane - Emollient • Sodium hyaluronate - Hydrating • Tomato, raspberry, acerola, paprika, cranberry extract - Give red color to product. How I use it: Once a week in the evening, I apply the equivalent of 4-5 drops of product on dry skin and gently distribute a thin layer of product all over my face. I leave it on for 1 minute, then rinse it off with lukewarm water. Verdict: • What I liked about this product: I was very interested in the lower percentage of AHA contained in this product when compared to The Ordinary AHA/BHA peeling solution because I wanted to consider it as a gentler alternative that would not irritate my skin as much. I also like that it is formulated with niacinamide for pore care, emollients, as well as hydrating and moisturizing ingredients.The bottle comes with a dropper that is useful to dispense the amount you need, in my case 4-5 drops for my entire face. The texture of this peel is like a thick serum and is slightly tacky. I appreciated that the instructions stipulate to not leave the product on for more than a minute to avoid skin irritation. I still felt some tingling sensation and redness after application, but it quickly went away after washing it off. After a month of weekly use, I can definitely notice that my skin is smoother, less oily, and my pores are clean and appear smaller.
