Edit: Thank you soooo much for all the suggestions, I'm so proud to be part of such a beautiful community ❤❤ I've added many of your suggestions to my wishlist.
I just want to add something I forgot to mention in my original post (or rather dismissed because it was my first use). I had tried my sister's Cosrx good morning low ph cleanser for two times only and now that I'm considering it I had the same dry feeling afterwards in both occasions. So I think that's the reason behind this sudden change. 
Thank you once more for the lovely replies ❤

Hello picky members! I hope you guys are having a great weekend. 😍
I need some help with choosing a cleanser. I have been using these two for some time now and I didn't have any problems. But now that the season is changing, my skin is starting to feel tight and dry after cleansing (this is especially true for the origins Cleanser) 🥺🥺
So I would really appreciate it if you can suggest some gentle cleansers that won't strip the skin from natural oils (no ceraves and cetaphils please)

Thank you very much ❤

Hello pickies ❤❤

Here is a sneak peek at tomorrow's surprise feom picky 🌟🌟 Isntree shared the news on Instagram and I wanted to share the good news.

Are we excited? 🥳🥳

Incoming Picky event revealed 😉

Good morning everyone! 

I have recently won the Stylekorean Middleeast Empties contest, and today I received a call from the DHL service in my country asking me to pay taxes because the declared price of the package is above the minimum limit for tax free services. I kinda knew this would happen so I wasn't really surprised, but I just assumed that the tax fees would be reasonable. Instated, he said that I had to pay more than $120 😶😶😶... which is literally impossible in my case (student life duhh). So I had to ask him to return the package. And now I need you guys to tell me that I did the right thing? 🥺🥺

Tax issues

I have just received my 10$ coupon after the points exchange 😌😌

Check your emails if you have participated in this exchange event ✌🏻

Thank you Picky ❤

Stop wishing you had a glowy skin and get it!

Fomulated with 60% of Propolis Extract and 2% of Niacinamide alongside many other interesting ingredients, this serum has one of the best combinations of ingredients in the market right now. 

Texture:
The texture is very beautiful. Slightly thin but with enough viscosity, it soaks into the skin in a matter of seconds and leaves it very nourished and plump. It doesn't feel sticky nor tacky despite the fact that honey is the main ingredient! 

This serum is:
✔Alcohol free
✔Fragrance free 
✔Paraben free 
✔Silicone free 
✔Sulfate free 
✔Cruelty free

Star ingredients:
⭐Propolis Extract
⭐Niacinamide
⭐Tamanu Oil
⭐Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract 
⭐Centella Asiatica 

My thoughts:
I have been eyeing this serum for some time, and now that I have it I regret not getting it sooner!

And let me just congratulate whomever came with the name for rhis serum. You couldn't have done better!

You guys, this is the GLOW serum if ever you need one. 
No highlighter in the world can compete with the natural glow you get from this serum. Just the right subtle amount of glow you need to look healthy and lively, and it lasts the whole day!

And beyond the glow, this serum is perfect in every way. The texture is perfect for my taste. The ingredients list is out of this world. And it deals with many skin concerns at the same time:
✅ Hyperpigmentation: Propolis,  niacinamide, and Tumeric root extract.
✅ Acne and pore care: Niacinamide, tamanu oil, BHA.
✅ Hydration: Propolis, glycerin, and lotus corniculatus seed extract (bird's foot).
✅ Sensitive skin: Propolis, Centella Asiatica, and Tocopherol.
✅ Anti-aging: Niacinamide and Tocopherol.

I have been using it for less than a month and I'm already getting fantastic results. My skin is slightly but noticeably brighter than before, and very hydrated and protected all day long (which is my main target in any skincare product). I cannot say much about the hyperpigmentation claims because that would need an extended amount of time and regular usage... but on the whole, I'm more than satisfied with this purvhase and would definitely buy again. 


I received this product for free from Picky and ISNTREE in exchange for my honest review.

This is definitely my favorite product from the Onion Newpair line by Isntree. I love everything about it. 

This cream has the ideal texture for me. I just love moisturizers that are not overly thick (they feel heavy) and not overly light ( bescuse they are not hydrating enough for my normal to dry skin).
This cream has a very lightweight "gel like" texture. It is hydrating enough without feeling heavy nor greasy. It can feel a teeny tiny bit sticky when first applied, but then it dries off into a beautiful soft matte finish. 

In terms of how it affects the skin, it is still early days for me to judge! Skincare in general takes time to show effects, but this is particularly true for moisturizers. They take longer than serums and ampoules to show results. Their main goal is to provide hydration and seal moisture, and this cream is no exception. It does perfectly well in that regard!

This cream is:
✔Fragrance free 
✔Alcohol free 
✔ Paraben free 
✔Silicone free 
✔Sulfate free 
✔Cruelty free 

Star ingredients: 
🌟Allium Cepa (Onion) Bulb Extract 
🌟Niacinamide 
🌟Panthenol 
🌟Hyaluronic Acid 
🌟Allantoin 


Cons:
❌ It's difficult to judge how much is enough. You'll have to trust your gut!
❌ The size is on the smaller side, but the price tag is very reasonable so it is not a big deal!

True love might let you down, but the glow of your skin never will. 😉

This is my first sunscreen cushion, and it definitely will not be the last!

𝑻𝒆𝒙𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆:
This sun pact comes in marbled balm texture. It looks thick on first glance, but once you apply it you notice how light it actually is and how smoothly it goes over the skin. It doesn't feel greasy, doesn't leave any white cast (or if it does, it is very minimal), and gives a beautiful glowy/shimmery effect.💯

𝑨𝒕𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒃𝒖𝒕𝒆𝒔:
✔Alcohol free
✔Fragrance free
✔Sulfate free
✔Paraben free
✔Allergen free

𝑲𝒆𝒚 𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒓𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒔:

𝑴𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒔:
This sun pact is very versatile and comes in handy for different scenarios:

✅ My first impression when I saw it was that it won't be enough on its own, but I've used it as my main sunscreen for several days and it did just fine! (Bear in mind that we have a relatively cold weather in here.)
✅ If you live in a tropical area and feel like this will not do, you can keep it for reapplication. The compact packaging (a stunning one by the by👏) makes it very convenient to carry around in your bag for frequent reapplication.
✅ You don't have to worry about your makeup. The light texture and the included puff guarantee a seamless application. Instead of ruining your look, it will give a beautiful glow and kind of freshen up your makeup.
✅ The packaging is too beautiful to be disposed of. Luckily, the brand sells refills so that you can keep yours! 😌

❌dropper can be annoying 😓
❌somewhat pricey 😳

I would give this serum a 10 out of 5 if only I could! This is magic in a bottle! 🤯

On paper, this has one of the best ingredient lists I've encountered thus far! Formulated with 5 types of ceramides, 8 types of peptides, fatty acids, and niacinamide, it promises good potential.🧐

Texture:
This serum has an unusual texture! It doesn't have the liquidy texture we are used to see in serums and ampoules! Instead, it has more of a gel like texture that feels very light and blends easily into the skin. It absorbs quickly leaving you with a very hydrated and HEALTHY looking skin.☺️

This serum is:
✔Fragrance free 
✔Alcohol free 
✔Paraben free 
✔Silicone free 
✔Sulfate free 

Star ingredients:
🌟5 types of Ceramides 
🌟8 types of Peptides 
🌟Niacinamide 
🌟Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Extract 
🌟Cynara Scolymus (Artichoke) Leaf Extract
🌟Hyaluronic Acid 
🌟Beta Glucan 

My thoughts:
I've heard great things about ceramides and how they are really good for strengthening the skin barrier and preventing aging signs, but I assumed that it takes some time for the results to start showing (just like any other ingredient)! But boy was I mistaken!👀

I have only used this serum for like a week now and I can already see a significant improvement in my skin condition. My skin feels very supple and more resilient than ever, and it definitely looks plumper and healthier than before. I also feel like the other products I'm using are performing even better now that I've introduced this serum into my routine.😎

I was worried a bit because of the extensive list of ingredients (I have a super sensitive skin so I'm always cautious with new ingredients), but this serum did not cause any bad reaction. It is very gentle and non irritant. 💯

The only downside, if I have to pick one, is the dropper. Maybe because the texture is a bit thick, but the dropper can be annoyingly stubborn. I would have preferred a packaging with a pump for this kind of texture, but I guess you get used to it eventually. 🤣




Cons:
❌ This cleanser has only one fault but it's an irritating one. I don't know if this is the case for everyone or just me, but this always leaves some kind of residue. I've had to rinse my face twice on several occasions because once I try to apply my toner things get messy (tried different toners with this same cleanser and all of em lather up after this cleanser). It can be very frustrating, but I'm getting the hang of it. I've reduced the amount I use to half a pump (I only use it during morning so I don't need much product), and I make sure to rinse, rinse, rinse, and then rinse my face till I am sure that nothing's left.😂

Verdict:
3.5/5 ⭐

Bixby, please remove my makeup.

Err, let's try again!

Rovectin, please remove my makeup.

And just like that, your skin will be grateful.😌

𝑻𝒆𝒙𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆:
This cleanser has the usual gel texture that you'd expect. Nothing special to report here. A single pump is all you need to produce enough lather for your face and neck!

𝑨𝒕𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒃𝒖𝒕𝒆𝒔:
✔Fragrance free
✔Alcohol free

𝑴𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒔:
I love everything about this cleanser except for one part! Let's break into it:

Pros:
✅ A cleanser with a pump is always welcome because you can control how much product you need to the last micrometer.
✅ The clean ingredient list (and the brand's overall approach for that matter) makes it a perfect choice for my sensitive skin.
✅ The cleanser is very gentle and doesn't dry out my skin. It feels rather moist and happy after cleansing.
✅ The size is very generous and the fact that you don't need much product makes it a clever investment.
