[Review] Jumiso X Vitamin & Hyaluronic Set

Disclaimer: Bear in mind that I am not a professional and this is my first time writing a detailed review for skincare products, so it’s purely on how I felt about it. -All Day Vitamin Clean & Mild Cleanser It has a gel-like texture and smells just like an orange. However, to those who don’t really like citrus, it may be a little bit overwhelming. So, I kind of did a little experiment unintentionally. I was rushing, so I simply grabbed a cleanser to use, after some time my skin felt tight and dry. Therefore, I decided to make a comparison and used Jumiso’s in the evening, and yea it did not make my skin dry or tight. At the same time, it did not make my face oily too. However, since it is a mild cleanser, it doesn’t foam much. To those who prefer lots of foams and bubbles, I would not recommend this. Albeit that, I think that a cleanser that foams less is better? (Although I still like foamy cleansers hahaa) -All Day Vitamin Brightening & Balancing Serum Okay, I must admit that I am a lazy person who does not use serums, so this is my first try on serums. It smells just like the cleanser but lighter and has a watery but thick consistency (yes, idk what am I saying.) although it is not a water-based product (and I still do not know what I’m writing here hehee.). I can’t actually see the difference but my mom mentioned that my skin looks brightened after 7 days of using it. However, it’s a little bit sticky to me. Despite that, the stickiness subsides along as it dries (it dries fast too.). -Waterfulll Hyaluronic Acid Toner True to its name, this toner is definitely ‘waterfull’. It has a slightly thicker consistency but other than that, it looks just like water. It does not have any odour or at least only a really mild odour which is basically undetectable. Just like how it looks, it is just like water, very hydrating to my skin. It is great overall. It does not make my skin oily or dry (of course, it is known for hydration), neither does it irritate my skin. At times, certain products would make my face appear red but definitely not this. The downside? I would say that there’s no downside to this, it’s really a great product that’s worth trying. -Waterfull Hyaluronic Acid Cream This cream comes with a scoop inside, perhaps to prevent contamination. It has a gel-like and soft texture and absorbs into the skin quite fast. Similarly, it does not have any odour like the toner of the same range. I like how it does not feel too thick or heavy. It does not make my face feel greasy like some others which I will not mention. Instead, I feel that my face is supple and smooth after using it.

[Review] Isntree X Clear Skin 8% AHA Essence

After just 2 months, I’m lucky enough to get selected again to try this AHA Essence in exchange for my honest review. Thank you Picky! Isntree’s Clear Skin 8% AHA Essence is an exfoliant with a high concentration of AHA (glycolic & lactic acid) ingredients which can smoothen our rough skin. To use it, you just need to apply it onto your skin and washing it off is not required. Skin type: Oily to Combination (I know it’s meant for dry to normal skin though) Colour: Transparent Odour: Neutral (I feel that it smells a lil sour too since it’s an acid) Texture: It says that it is a gel type, but I feel like it’s watery (sorry, I’m not a pro) Feeling: It kind of stings during the first few times but subsided after around 3 days of using it. Routine: Cleanser > Toner > THIS PROD > Moisturiser Length of Use: Around 1 week (twice per day) Ps. It’s my first chemical exfoliant too! First few days, it stings! However, it’s tolerable and I didn’t face any irritations like redness. I do use my moisturising cream with hyaluronic acid since I saw someone recommend it, so I’d suggest this too since I think it helped in a way to prevent irritations. I use it twice a day since I’m impatient and I wanted some fast results since I would say that my biggest issue with my skin is pores and blackheads and I really want to treat it soonest possible. (forehead bumps too now) I do feel that my skin is smoother and clean after use but honestly, I still find that I have lots of blackheads a few hours later. Yea, it’s only a week or more, so no blame. I think on the 6th or 7th day of using, I find some breakouts on my forehead but fret not, I did some research and found that it’s normal for our skin to purge after using AHA, so here’s just something to take note of.

Picky x By Ecom

Disclaimer: “I received this product for free from Picky and BY ECOM in exchange for my honest review.” #Pure Calming Ampoule [Scent] Odourless [Texture] Watery ✔️ I love its aesthetics! Packaging is modern and cute, suitable for people of the younger generation. ✔️ It is moisturising enough for me. I use it along with my toner and it's perfect 😟 However, it's not soothing enough for me. Although it doesn't cause any bad effect, but it's just not soothing enough to show any effect. Yet, perhaps i just didn't use long enough, so I can't really say much. #Pure Calming Ampoule Mask [Scent] [Texture] Very watery ✔️ By Ecom is really not stingy with it's essence! There's even enough to put on my neck, arms, and body. ✔️ The smell is nice, not overwhelming to me. ✔️ It's not sticky after using it. I don't really like using sheet mask as they make my face sticky and uncomfortable, but this doesn't! 😔 It's a bit sloppy and messy. Not really a bad thing though. 😔 The size is a bit hard to adjust to make it fix well.

[Review] SKIN 1004 x Madagascar Centella Ampoule

SKIN TYPE: OILY TO COMBINATION COLOUR: TRANSPARENT ODOUR: LIKE BABY WIPES (XD, IDK HOW TO EXPLAIN) TEXTURE: WATERY Recently, it’s been a trend where a lot of skincare brands incorporated Centella Asiatica as one of their key ingredients (though I’m not sure how long it’s been due to my ignorance, oops). Anyway, this ampoule from Skin 1004 contains 100% of Centella Asiatica extract. Centella Asiatica is known to speed up the healing process and collagen production of the skin. This is not the first Skin 1004 product that I’ve tried, I’ve also tried its Madagascar Centella Tone Brightening Boosting Toner, so I’ll make a brief comparison of how I felt first. Both of them include Centella Asiatica as their key ingredient but the toner made my skin sting a little, so I’m not sure what’s the deal here. Back to the ampoule, it’s transparent and has a low viscosity. Not sure how to describe its smell but I kind of feel that it smells like baby wipes? (not in a bad way, I don’t dislike it). What I like about it is that it doesn’t cause any irritation or redness, I don’t feel anything, it’s just like washing your face with water. It’s not heavy or sticky and it doesn’t make my face feel like there’s a thick coat of something on top of it. Also, I think the main benefit is that it soothes and calm my skin. From my previous Picky review, I received an acid/chemical exfoliant, so this ampoule helped in soothing my face after applying the acid. As for the niacinamide which made the skin around my nose peel, this ampoule helps in relieving it too. How about the cons? Well, it didn’t cause any negative effects on my skin. The only thing is that I don’t feel how others mentioned that this ampoule helps in hydration. Perhaps more time is necessary to see the effect? I’m not sure, but in the meantime, I don’t really see any effect on hydration yet. Oh well, at last, I’d like to thank @Picky again, as well as @Skin1004 for giving me this opportunity. Lastly, do remember that I’m not a professional and this is just my opinion.

[Review] TIA’M x Pore Minimizing 21 Serum

Skin Type: Oily to Combination Colour: Transparent Odour: Neutral Texture: Watery Routine: Cleanser > Toner > Acid exfoliant (on my forehead) > THIS PROD (on my nose and inner part of my cheeks) > Moisturiser Length of Use: Around 2+ weeks minus few days of skipping Been wanting to try niacinamide for quite a while so I’m really grateful for being chosen to try this product! Thank you Tia'm and Picky! A lot of free samples were given too but I haven’t had the chance to try them out yet. TIA’M x Pore Minimizing 21 Serum is targeted for pores and blackhead and has a high content of niacinamide, 20% to be precise, so newbies should be aware of this and adjust the amount used accordingly. I didn’t dilute or use it less often though as my skin looks fine with it. Also, do remember to use sunscreen if you’re using it during the day. I don’t really like using sunscreen and I think it’s because of this, the skin around my nose and cheeks peeled (though it wasn’t painful) and thus the reason for me to stop using it for a few days. It got better in just a few days so no worries here. ✔️: I like how it doesn’t have any fragrance and how easy it is to spread on my face. After using it for a while, I do find that my blackhead reduces but in the meantime my pores haven’t shown any significant reduction in size, but that’s okay since it takes some time for niacinamide to work its magic. I feel that after applying it for a while, I can see that my blackhead came out more easily so sometimes I’ll extract them using an extractor. Also, it’s not irritating, it doesn’t cause redness or stings my face even though the concentration is high especially for a newbie like me. ❌: Nothing serious here. It’s just that it’s too drippy so I’ll waste some of it or make it drip onto my lips. Also, when it dries in around 15 mins, it will leave a white ‘patch’. So, what I do is that I’ll do some other stuff first and continue with my moisturiser when it dries with a white ‘patch’. It’s also kind of sticky before it dries so sometimes, I’ll feel itchy but it’s def not because of the ingredients so I’ll just scratch a bit and it’ll be fine. Oh, and my skin peeled (not sure after how long of using it), but no big harm and it went back to normal after stopping for a few days. What I guess is that it's because I’ve overused it.
