✨ I recceived these products for free from Picky and The Potions in exhcange for my honest review ✨

First off, I want to say that the packaging is adorable and minimalist. All three can be fit inside one slot which comes helpful for travel purpose. And actually I did bring them along for my weekend getaway. 

The Potions Trio Hydration Set:
1. Hyaluronic Acid Ampoule 
2. Jojoba Oil Serum 
3. Peptide Ampoule 

Each contains 20 ml in a clear sealed-glass bottle with the dropper. 

I will review them by their orders in my routine. 

🤍 Peptide Ampoule
This is my first peptide product I have tried. I did not know what to expect, have been hearing good stuff about peptide helping with strengthen skin barrier. Couple first nights that I tried, it helped with my redness and overall complexion. The texture feels sticky to me, but it is scentless, so I am great with that. I find out the stickiness is from the collegen and elastin in it that helps maintianing skin's elasticity and texture. That makes me even love it more. I use them in the morning and at night I pair it with HA. 

🤍 Hyaluronic Acid Ampoule
The texture is not too heavy, yet it is not as hydrating for my skin. I would need to double-layer my moisturizer during PM routine. Still, it absorbs quickly and ready my skin for the next product. One more thing was I got those irritation from wearing masks, The Potions Hyularonic Acid sets my skin to calmer after the long day. 

𝒯𝒾𝓅 𝓉𝒽𝒶𝓉 𝓌𝑜𝓇𝓀𝓈 𝒻𝑜𝓇 𝓂𝑒: I mixed couple drops of HA together with one or two drops of Peptide Ampoule, applied it at night, I cannot stop staring at my face in the next morning. My skin texture has not been any better, and it looks radiant and smoother.

💛 Jojoba Oil Serum 
I used mixture-method by mixing the oil with my creamy moisture because I thought it would be greasy for my nighttime. But it was fast-absorbant and not as heavy as I thought it would be. It penetrates well into skin and locks up all the moisture without leaving any greasy feeling. 

💟 Overall: I really enjoy using the trio set. My skin has been leaning to the dry side because I did not spend much time for it. With the trio set, they are really cute looking that makes me happy to use it every morning. Jokes aside, they helped my skin's texture and hydration  remarkably. My overall skin does not look oily yet dehydrated anymore. There are still redness now and then, but with the help of The Potions, my irritation is getting lesser. I hope it would continue improve my skin barrier in the long term.

The Potions Trio Set Review

The Potion's Deep Hydration Trio Giveaway

Hi there, 

The green tea powder wash just seems quite abrasive on my skin even though I pour really tiny amount of the powder. And I do not want to leave it to waste. So, I hope to use it in a different way or for different purposes like as a wash off mask?! (maybe). But I have no idea how, 🙈 

Please share your experience/tips on how different you have been using this powder wash. 


TIA,
🤍

Wishtrend Green tea Powder Wash 🌿🍵

I was at college yesterday and I received text that my picky reward has been delivered. Now, I'm being sneaky to capture these cute trio during my morning class. Im so in love with the color and how minimalist 'The Potions' stands out on the bottles. 

Thank you @The Potions and @Picky for this event 🤍

The Trio Potions has arrived

Hello everyone. 

Recently, my partner starts to concern about his skin. 🤭 I want to introduce a basic skincare routine for my partner that is simple and easy to follow through daily. I would love second opinions. 

Skin concern: 
Flaky dry, yet oily t-zone 
Milia, and tiny bumps on the chin area
Visible pores 

I plan to have: 
Cleanser: Hada Labo Super Hyaluronic acid 
Toner/exfoliant: Cosrx AHA/BHA clarifying toner 
Moisturiser: Cosrx Green tea Aqua Gel cream
Sunscreen: I have no idea 🤷‍♀️ 

What do you think I should change or add? Please drop your thought/suggestion. Thank you.

Routine for man.

Experience~
I have always seen this essence water on my feed and was always hesitant to try out due to the concern that it could have heavy finish on my oily skin. But gosh, I was wrong, big wrong!
BOJ Ginseng Essence Water has watery toner-like texture, no scent detected.
 
It is so so so so refreshing~ My skin loves it! It penetrates immediately into skin and gives my skin that radiant glow from within. That overthinking thought that this essence makes me skin oilier is proven wrong! I apply two layers of this essence, then serum, then another layer of essence every morning, literally every morning, and my skin have not been glower than this.

I love and really enjoy using this essence water as toner pad. Especially on hot and humid days, I soak the big round facial pads with BOJ essence water and leave them on my skin for 10 minutes.

This method works amazingly for me. My skin turns greasy and those visible pores saying 'hello' skin to refreshing, well-hydrated and my pores are less defined.

The scent is there, not too much, but I would love a fragrance-free one too 🤍✨

𝓡𝓮𝔂𝓮𝓷𝓪 16 𝓜𝓲𝓵𝓭 𝓞𝓲𝓵 𝓽𝓸 𝓕𝓸𝓪𝓶 𝓒𝓵𝓮𝓪𝓷𝓼𝓮𝓻, a 2-in-1 cleanser that claims to thoroughly remove makeup, impurities and dead skin cells without drying out the skin. 

First of all, let’s talk about the ingredients. This cleanser contains some interesting ingredients such as 𝒞𝒶𝓊𝓁𝑒𝓇𝓅𝒶 𝐿𝑒𝓃𝓉𝒾𝓁𝓁𝒾𝒻𝑒𝓇𝒶 𝐸𝓍𝓉𝓇𝒶𝒸𝓉, which is a type of seaweed that provides rich nutrients to the skin, 𝒢𝓁𝓎𝒸𝒾𝓃𝑒 𝒮𝑜𝒿𝒶 𝒪𝒾𝓁, which is a soybean oil that helps soothe and protect the skin barrier. It also has some common ingredients such as 𝘈𝘭𝘰𝘦 𝘝𝘦𝘳𝘢, 𝘊𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢 𝘈𝘴𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢, 𝘞𝘪𝘵𝘤𝘩 𝘏𝘢𝘻𝘦𝘭 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘊𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘕𝘗 that are known for their moisturizing and calming effects.

The texture of this cleanser is very unique. It comes out as a thick, honey-like gel that transforms into a soft foam when you add water and massage it on your face. It feels very gentle and smooth on the skin, and it doesn’t leave any oily or sticky residue after rinsing.  It doesn’t sting or irritate the eyes, and it removes all traces of makeup, dirt and oil without stripping the skin of its natural moisture. It has a mild floral fragrance similar to the Sun Milk. 

The cleanser helps to improve the skin texture and tone by gently exfoliating and nourishing the skin.

Overall, I really like this cleanser and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a gentle yet effective 2-in-1 cleanser that can remove makeup and impurities without compromising the skin’s moisture balance. It has a unique texture, a nice fragrance, a lovely packaging and a fun experience.

I honestly love this exfoliating serum. No issues for me so far.

Facing skin issues like blackheads? Bumpy skin? or Rough skin? Other skin products can’t absorb well? Yet your skin is sensitive?

Key Ingredients: 

💧 Natural PHA - more gentle exfoliation and causes less to no irritation and redness. Best first acid for sensitive. Clear out gunk, dead skin cells and impurities from pores and improve skin tone and texture. 

🍊 Orange Water - vitamin C concentration to brighten skin tone, reduce visible pigmentation and nourish the skin. 

🍀 Centella - soothes skin and protects 

It has the ‘easy-to-open’ packaging box. I was like ‘Finally, I found the user-friendly brand’. Extremely grateful! There is even braille on the box. Seriously, Haruharu Wonder, you guys are the best! 

I was shocked at first lol. I thought I was getting a bottle of exfoliation serum. To my surprise, it comes in a huge bottle of 120 ml. Can’t complain lol I might use it up in no time. The texture is watery toner-like. Really easy to apply onto skin, absorb right in. No fragrance ~ No stinging as well thanks to centella. 

My skin tends to get oilier throughout the day. The serum minimizes that from happening. I am stunned. Yet I don’t feel dry or itchy at all, just soothing actually. Leave a subtle glow and refreshing finish. After weeks, my chin areas that was pretty bumpy from all the dairy products became smoother. For visible pigmentation would require longer usage. 

Feel like this is a multipurpose serum, 

1) Pore clean & care ✨ 2) Oil control ✨ 3) Soothing ✨ 4) Brighten and Nourish 

This is the most innovative product I have seen and it is natural and vegan. 💖

𝙎𝙠𝙞𝙣 & 𝙇𝙖𝙗 | 𝙍𝙚𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙤𝙡 𝙍𝙚𝙥𝙖𝙞𝙧 𝙎𝙚𝙧𝙪𝙢 - a more stabilized, caused less irritation and a vegan form of Retinol plus multitype of peptides to efficiently minimize fine lines, wrinkles & pore appearances, improve skin elasticity and soothe redness. 

Finally, Skin&Lab released their Vegan Repair Retinol Serum - which is designed to be gentle for first-time users and sensitive skin with Vegan Ingredients only used. 

𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘝𝘦𝘨𝘢𝘯 𝘙𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘰𝘭?
Synthetic retinols tend to cause skin sun sensitive and susceptible to sunburns. Vegan Retinol causes as little to no purging or skin irritation. Plant-based retinol is a greater choice for dry and sensitive skin. 

On top of 𝓥𝓮𝓰𝓪𝓷 𝓛𝓲𝓹𝓸𝓼𝓸𝓶𝓮 𝓡𝓮𝓽𝓲𝓷𝓸𝓵 3%, 𝓑𝓪𝓴𝓾𝓬𝓱𝓲𝓸𝓵 and 𝓟𝓮𝓹𝓽𝓲𝓭𝓮𝓼 were packed in this new Repair serum to boost skin regeneration, improves skin’s texture and provides intensive care. 

𝖗𝖊𝖛𝖎𝖊𝖜 - A mattified, nicely-grey color, airless pump-container to protect the serum from outside heat, light and O2 - to maintain Retinol’s efficiency. It has a light yellow creamy texture that melts 

to fluid after spreading - so light, soft, smooth and feels nothing on skin. 

I have always introduced active ingredient products slowly into my routines. I started the vegan retinol serum twice a week for the first two weeks and slowly started using it every alternative night afterward. It is pretty hydrating and gives quite a great moisturizing effect to my surprise. Skin is left lifted and plump the next morning. Slight redness for the first use but none after that! Over the time, I can see my smile lines faded and the large pores near my nose areas. 

𝕿𝖎𝖕𝖘 - use the sandwich method for beginners - after cleansing and toning, apply one layer of moisturizer - let it fully absorb - apply the retinol serum (give some time) and then finish with another layer of moisturizer. 

⇒ Apply retinol on a cleaned, dry skin. 
⇒ Avoid any exfoliants on retinol day
