Moisturizer recommendations❗

Hey y'all, so I'm a student and was looking for some budget friendly Exfoliating toners bc lately my pores have been feeling soo clogged even though I'm already using a salicylic acid cleanser!

Hey beautiful people, hope you're all having a great day! The thing is I'm not able to upvote anyone's reply to my comment for some reason, I mean the option is there but I can't click it for some reason. Does anybody know what's going on??? Is it some sort of a new update or what idk?? I'm so confused and I feel so rude for not upvoting /replying to people :((

Can't upvote anyone!😩

Hey guys! I hope everyone's doing really great :)
I feel so demotivated right now because I've been trying my best and reviewing as good as I can but somehow I never win any giveaways, I only won one giveaway and that was a skincare giveaway either , I've applied to around like 50 giveaways and for some reason I just never win, although I love the app because you get to learn sooo much here but it's also quite discouraging checking my email from time to time. Does anybody have any tips? That may help with winning giveaways?

I feel really demotivated😞

∆BAD THINGS ABOUT IT :
• Like I mentioned above, it has a balm like consistency and can feel havy on skin if you have really oily skin like mine.
• Although the packaging is travel friendly and solid, I feel  the way to apply it is a little unsanitary since you have to use your finger & It also stains your finger like you can see in the picture.
• I wouldn't say this is the best option to go for if you live in a very humid country since the balm is kinda heavy.
• If you're going for a matte look, this wouldn't exactly help out.
• It does not show as well on darker skin tones like mine (I have medium wheatish brown skintone and a yellow undertone), I mean yess it's buildable but the first coat is quite sheer. I personally have to apply multiple times (on the cheeks).

∆ BOTTOM LINE : Although I feel like it's slightly heavy for my skin, I think this is an absolute gem for especially for lighter skinned people with yellow undertones and tbh I would repurchase it.

❗[ I received this product for free from Picky in exchange for my honest review. ]❗

∆ TEXTURE --> It has a very balm like texture, quite thick and very glossy on the skin.

∆ GOOD THINGS ABOUT IT :
• This gives a very sheer tint which looks quite natural & looks absolutely stunning on lighter skintones.
• The colour is definitely a summer colour and would look really nice on anyone with a yellow undertone.
• The blendability is also quite impressive.
• The tint is buildable.
• The packaging is quite sturdy and travel friendly.
• It's quite budget friendly.
• It looks really really nice on the lips.
• It can be used anywhere on the face (eyelids, cheeks, lips).
• This is definitely a great product for those who prefer a glossy light & natural makeup look and living in dryer regions.

• It isn't great for extreme pigmentation and marks like there are better options for it if you don't have sensitive skin
•I read a few reviews and it reacted a little to some people's skin (for me it didn't but if u have hyper sensitive skin then maybe look into it

• It has a runny texture and get's absorbed nice and quickly
• It does show an impact but very very subtle so good for minor pigmentation and blemishes 
• It isn't harsh at all at least for my skin as It contains Centella Asiatica Extract and they claim that it's hypoallergenic 
• The beads melt easily 
• Definitely hydrates and brightens the face
• Adds a nice and subtle glow 
• Contains niacinamide which is great for oily skin, uneven skintone and texture.

1) So while this feels light , after a few seconds it starts LOOKING super greasy on my skin (extremely oily skin tupe) I don't think I can wear this during summertime since my skin already gets quite sweaty and greasy on it's own however I think dry & combo skin people can manage! ‼️Mind that it only looks greasy but doesn't feel greasy, this problem can be fixed if you use makeup but I don't wear makeup however my mom who has a dry (sometimes combo) skin type is a fan of this‼️
2) This has a little bit of a fragrance which I personally find quite nice, it not very strong but if you refrain from using fragrant products then you should probably skip

1) First of all, the packaging is absolutely adorable and very easy to take the product out 10 on 10 for the packaging
2) The texture is quite watery and and as you can see it blends like a dream without leaving any whitecaste whatsoever
3) It's vegan, cruelty free and free from any harmful chemicals.
4) This is a hybrid Sunscreen which mean it contains both physical as well as chemical UV Filters.
5) Skin feels nice and cool after immediate application.
6) I feel like this could be a good sunscreen for sensitive skin types as it's quite soothing.

∆ BAD THINGS :-
• It contains glycolic acid which can be irritating for senstive skin type.
• Not Very travel friendly, I wish they also provided a smaller packaging.
• It has a strong fragrance which can be irritating for senstive skin

∆ KEY INGREDIENTS :-
• Glycolic Acid - works for hyper pigmentation, Brightens and exfoliates, anti-ageing properties
• Licorice - works for hyper pigmentation, Brightens and exfoliates and very soothing
• Aloe Vera - Soothing, hydrating, antibacterial & antifungal properties
• Black Willow Extract - Exfoliates and reduces sebum product, hydrating 
• Green Tea Extract - hydrates, brightens and repairs skin, helps reverse sun damage and fades dark spots, Antifungal properties 

∆ GOOD THINGS :-
• My Skin definitely felt really plump and bright the next morning.
• Also helped with skin texture.
• It's Sulphate, Paraben and silicon free.
• It's oil free, Alcohol free and allergen free.
• It's non comedogenic.
• It's lightweight and blends decently.
• A little goes a long way.
• Fairly priced since it goes a long way.
• Sturdy Packaging.
• Claims to be safe for pregnant women
• Lovely for oily skin type but might also work for dry skin (if applied a thick layer).

∆ BOTTOM LINE :- 
• Hands down ONE OF THE BEST Night gels I've tried so far!
• I 100% recommend this for oily resilient skin, it's soothing, exfoliating and brightening all at the same time! 

• This is absolutely not for dry skin, it's not hydrating and will only control oil production which might cause even more dryness so I wouldn't suggest this.

• It contains Alcohol (also quite drying) so please check that out too!

• Firstly, this is one of the most lightweight serums I have ever used! It's runny and gets absorbed into your skin within seconds and doesn't leave any sticky or shiny layer on skin even in this humid weather. (For example, the video that I've posted showing the back of my hand is after applying the serum and it's just as if I didn't use anything at all, it's disappears that flawlessly)

• Secondly, I have 2 Niacinamide serums (from diff brands ofc) so I could easily differ because I tried using them side by side and while I was using the other one I did see some change in my skin but it didn't exactly help much with oil control however THIS ONE IS A GAME CHANGER, it completely transformed my skin the next day, the texture was much reduced and my skin was also wayyy less oily and my face was just glowing for some reason.

• This contains Benzyl Alcohol which helps boost collagen production in skin!

• The packaging seems pretty decent, I got the smaller version and it's travel friendly so I definitely like that.

• It also has rice water extract which definitely seemed to work since my skin looked brighter and firmer.

• It's budget friendly so everyone, including students like myself can easily afford this which is love!

• It's fragrance free!

• The spreadability is also quite good, I mean even though this absorbs nice and quickly you still don't need to use too much of it at a time.
