P.CALM Best Review Event on Instagram!

Hello beautiful people! Hope you are having a good day 🥰

I’m an active instagram user and I follow many brands on my account. I also participate to many events and I enjoy checking how brands manage their pages. Some of them are really bonding with their followers and I think in this very competitive field it’s important to reach the people directly! 

I wonder which brands’ instagram do you guys enjoy the most? 

(Disclamier: I do a similar job with managing accounts so I’d love to hear your opinion and get inspo! Thanks 😊)

Which brands’ Instagram do you like the most?

🐝 I’m using this serum with my room mate and we are halfway through it in just 1 month… It’s just 30 ml so it kinda ends quick :( there is also 60 ml version if you also enjoy applying generous amounts get the one 60 ml one 👍🏻


🐝 COSRX Propolis Light Ampoule

🐝 Another bestseller from COSRX! Contains %82.5 Black Propolis extract, glycerin, panthenol. Free of fragrance, allergens, sulphate and parabens. 

🐝 Claims to moisturize the skin and create a glowy, smooth complexion. Help reducing redness and healing skin texture. Propolis is an anti-bacterial and an anti-inflammatory ingredient so this serum also prevents new acne production! 

🐝 It’s texture is quite thiccc 🌝 making sure your skin absorbs everything and gets moisturized. Also the glow this serum gives is a no joke. Why do you think Kim Soohyun’s skin glows like stars? It’s because he also uses this serum, I’m sure 🌝🌝🌝 (okay time to get serious but I think he indeed uses this serum) 

🐝 I can’t say that it’s not sticky but if you have dry skin like me that stickiness help your skin texture become smoother and does not feel greasy once it’s finally absorbed. But don’t apply toooooo much if you are concerned about stickiness.

🐝 This serum is suitable for all skins but especially for dehydrated, dull, dry skin. Oily skin might find it greasy if they apply too much, so better test first 😊 As super dry skin, I love it 💕 Because I feel that the thick oily texture nourishes my skin, strengthens my skin barrier and make it look way more healthier. For oily skin especially if you have acne and if your skin is sensitive, I think applying it in small amounts would be helpful 👍🏻

🐝 Does not trigger my rosacea, helps soothing instead.

🐝 No Bees are harmed during the production of this ampoule as Korean law implies ✅

🐝 Overall, I like to use it especially in winter because of all the improvements I have told and only thing I don’t like is that it finishes quickly 🥲 I need this in a 150 ml toner bottle 😂

I don’t have any bad experience with the product but I think it might not be enough for people with thicker skin and more intense impurities on their faces. I would suggest them to use this toner with its serum. 
Also I don’t think this product reduces the blackheads visibly (as the single exfoliating product) but I haven’t tried figgy method yet. 
I’ll leave a photo of my skin without foundation (or other skin makeup etc) so you can understand what I mean better.

I didn’t expect that I’d love this product this much! I purchased it because I needed a gentle exfoliating product for my sensitive-rosacea skin. I was actually expecting that the acids would trigger my rosacea and my face would turn red upon application. BUT, it does NOT! This (mild) exfoliating toner is so gentle that even people with very sensitive skin can use it without worrying 😍 
 My skin is normally dry but during summer it tends to get oilier (still usually dehydrated). And the oil makes dead skin cells gather up on the skin surface. This toner takes its time and slowly gets rid of that dead skin. I felt my face was smoother in the morning after the first use. I used it regularly for 3 nights and I can feel that the impurities are gone! I decided to use it 2-3 days, give a little break and use it again for 2-3 days. But it’s totally ok to use everyday! It also helped with my whiteheads. I can’t say about other kind of acne as I didn’t have any, you can check other reviews for that purpose ✌️ 
The texture is very watery but my skin absorbs it when I apply with my palms too. 
It also didn’t dry out my face! Normally tea tree products tend to dry me out…
Overall it has become a holy grail for me and I recommend this toner to people with sensitive skin who are looking for a gentle exfoliation 💕

I would love it if soothing effect was a little more stronger!

+Not really a bad thing but I think it doesnt match very dry or very oily skin. Very dry skin can use other moisturizing products before or use more moisturizing sunscreens. Very oily skin would enjoy a mattyfying sunscreen more. 

Overall it’s like a lightweight moisturizer, especially perfect for summer, so you choose depending on your skin!

I won this in the mega giveaway and overall it exceeded my expectations! I can say it made to top 5 in my sunscreen comparision list! 

It contains a hyaluronic acid - cica combination, which makes it very ideal for dry and redness-prone skin like me! 

My experience: 

💙 The texture feels like a regular lightweight moisturizer. Blends in easily and has a dewy finish. But not as dewy as Isntree watery sun gel or Klairs Airy Sunscreen. Doesn’t feel sticky during or after application. Also, no white cast!

💙 Keeps the skin hydrated through the day and it doesn’t feel heavy. It also didn’t make me sweat a lot unlike some other sunscreens I tried in very humid weather! 

💙 It’s fragrance free and didn’t cause irritation on my rosacea redness prone skin. Didn’t cause me acne or breakouts.

💙 I used it by the pool side and overall it protected my skin from getting burnt. Since it’s 50 ml I finished it quite quickly in a short time 😂

💙 I also like the pump packaging! 

💚 Overall I found it very comfortable to use during daily life or near the pool side! Most skin types can use it without moisturizer too, so I highly recommend this!


It’s not really a bad point but since I have supeeeer dry skin, I’d love a little higher viscosity that delivers more hydration. But I guess there will be an essence or serum of this line that fullfils that wish in future. 

I have super dry and sensitive skin with rosacea so often times it’s hard for me to find good products that match my skin. I live in Korea and a friend introduced me this brand a month ago. Since then I’m using it and here is why I LOVE this toner: 

-Even though it is very watery it makes my skin feel softer!!! Usually watery toners are just a prep step for me (they calm my skin slightly and increase the absorption of essence-serum) but this one has KMX ferment inside so it leaves the skin very soft and smooth 😍

-It has ingredients like niacinamide, tea tree, cica, glycolic acid (in low percentages) so it gently exfoliates the sensitive skin without irritation 💯

-It is calming to my rosacea. I soak cotton pads and put it on my cheeks for 10-15 min and it reducess the redness and makes my skin feel calm 🥰 (see the photo)

-It’s cruelty free and vegan, free of alcohol, fragrance and other harmful ingredients 💜

-The bottle is 200 ml and since it’s watery it goes a loooooong time! You don’t need to apply that much 😂

Overall I love how gentle yet effective this toner is and especially recommend to people who have troubled-sensitive skin! I think it would suit to any skin type in a well balanced routine 💕

This product released recently but it is No.1 in Naver Shopping Toner category! 

-For soothing: I have not really seen a soothing aspect (example: reducing redness on my cheeks or the fresh sensation) but it doesn’t irritate my rosacea. 

-I will use this as a preparation step in my routine (before other serums) but when I finish it I probably won’t purchase again as I have dry skin and 42,000 krw is a little expensive 😢

I have won this product from the picky giveaway. First of all thank you Picky and Skin1004 😍

I didn’t have much time to understand fully but: 

-The formula is quite watery and fluid, which enables it to get absorbed by the skin easily. I can feel that my skin becomes slightly supple, but it’s not enough for my dry skin unfortunately. However, I think it would be okay for normal-combination and oily skin. Also, dehydrated oily skin would enjoy this product a lot! 🥰

-Another interesting part of this ampoule is that it feels veeerrryyyy slightly oily (if you used propolis before you can understand this feeling) but in a way that makes your face feel smoother and softer without being sticky. Which I really enjoy actually! 😍

-Like I said I haven’t used it for a long time but it feels like the formula would improve the skin barrier over time(as it claims), so it’d be nice for normal-oily skin who doesn’t like heavy textures but want to strengthen their skin barrier 👍🏻
