Hey, Picky community!

Thank you so much to Picky and Isntree for choosing me as the MVP on my review of the Hyaluronic Acid Watery Sun Gel!

Just picked this up at the post office yesterday and I’m super excited to try it! If you want to check out my review on the Watery Sun Gel, it’s up on my IG feed, @skincarebyten 🤍

ISNTREE MVP REWARD

As we all know, niacinamide has many benefits on our skin. It treats hyperpigmentation, protects against sun damage, minimizes fine lines and wrinkles, and also an antibacterial ingredient. I personally recommend these two local niacinamide serums at an affordable price!

SkinAbcs Niacinamide 5% Serum
- Niacinamide works well in 2-5% concentration. Higher percentage doesn’t mean faster results, it may cause higher chance of irritation. It retails for only P255.

Gratitude Bar Bright Drops
- I personally love this one! It has Alpha Arbutin that helps in skin lightening, reducing dark spots, and hyperpigmentations (perfect match for niacinamide) and hyaluronic acid which is a good moisturizing ingredient. Also, it has 4-5% niacinamide concentration which is good for sensitive skin. It retails for only P250.

These two products are underhyped and should have the love that it deserves. Let’s support local fam! In this feed, we love niacinamide. 

Comment if you have any questions.

It only has 15 ml of product which can last up to 1-2 months. Nonetheless, it’s still good for its price.

The ingredients of this are a BOMB! Alpha Arbutin and Niacinamide (which are good lightening ingredients), and hyaluronic acid which is a good moisturizing ingredient! An underhyped product.

I kinda don't like this new formulation, especially with its strong fragrance when applied to the skin. It kinda bothers me but didn't irritate my sensitive skin which is still okay. 

I have tried this sunscreen with their old formula and became my holy grail before. A plus point for being moisturizing to the skin but I still prefer its old formulation.

Nothing! A great gentle exfoliator indeed

This exfoliator is definitely gentle which is true to its claims. I love how it didn’t irritate my sensitive skin and how it’s not drying even if it&#39;s an exfoliator. The texture is watery which hydrated my skin well and absorbs quickly which makes it great to layer more products on top of it.

It helped a lot with the bumps on my face. After 2 months of usage (I only use this 3x a week) it made my skin a lot smoother than before especially on my cheeks and forehead which has a lot of texture. This also helped calm down the redness on my face 😩 what’s the sorcery of this product???

Overall, I can definitely say that this would be my go-to product whenever I’m having trouble with irritated skin. This would be great for beginners since it only offers mild exfoliation so you don’t have to worry about over-exfoliating 🤍

This is my first ever Mugwort product so I was super excited to use this! 🍃 The texture is a bit more viscous but absorbs quickly on the skin. It also feels lightweight that makes it great to layer more products on top of it.

I have been using this for 2 months and I can say that it definitely does the job to soothe and calm the skin. This is my go-to product whenever my skin feels irritated! Whenever I use this, it instantly calms down my face 🙌🏻 This product also keeps my skin hydrated after I wake up in the morning and adds that healthy glow to my skin.

This has been a cult favorite by everyone and now I understand! I didn’t have any bad experience with this product and it works well on my skin since it didn’t irritate me even if I have sensitive skin! It also helped improve some of my hyperpigmentation on my face 🤍

This serum when applied is a bit tacky on the skin. It leaves this sticky feeling which subsides for a few minutes. It may not be great for sensitive skin since it has a high percentage of vitamin c, but it worked for me. Do take note that it stains on shirts, so be mindful about it.

The smell of this serum is like an orange which I super love! It helped brighten up my skin after 2 weeks of usage and I can see that it somehow evened out my skin tone.
