I wouldn’t say “bad” but rather “uncomfortable”

- The essence doesn’t dispense easily. I had to shake the bottle multiple times to get a proper amount out. This made application a bit frustrating.
- A pump or more responsive dispenser would make the experience smoother.

- The texture is super lightweight and absorbs quickly, perfect for my oily skin.
- It leaves my skin feeling hydrated but not greasy or sticky.
- I noticed less irritation and redness on days when my skin was sensitized by overexfoliating.
- The ingredient list is impressive- fermented black rice, probiotics, ceramides, and panthenol- they all support the skin barrier beautifully well.
- The packaging feels sleek and hygienic, with a controlled dispenser that prevents waste.

Honestly, there’s nothing bad about this product! My only suggestion would be to have a larger size available, as the current 50ml tube may not last long for those using it regularly.

I really enjoy using the Centellian 24 Madeca Cream Time Reverse. The formula is lightweight, blends in effortlessly, and absorbs quickly without leaving my skin greasy. It’s incredibly soothing, and I noticed a significant improvement in my skin barrier after consistent use. My skin felt calmer, softer, and healthier overall.

The only downside for me is that the results take a bit of time to show. If you’re expecting instant exfoliation or dramatic changes overnight, this isn’t that kind of product. It’s more of a slow and steady option — ideal for beginners or those with sensitive skin, but not for someone seeking quick results.


The By Wishtrend Mandelic Acid Gentle Exfoliating Toner lives up to its name — it's gentle yet effective. Formulated with mandelic acid derived from almonds, it helped improve my skin’s texture, reduced dullness, and gradually faded some dark spots. I also appreciated how well it suited my skin when it was sensitized — no irritation, no stinging, and it layered well with the rest of my routine. The watery texture is refreshing and absorbs quickly.

1. The serum is lightweight, hydrating, and soothing—perfect for sensitive and acne-prone skin.
2. The key ingredients like Centella Asiatica, Tea Tree, and Mugwort really helped calm my skin.
3. Over about 3 weeks of use, I noticed an improvement in redness and a calming effect on active acne.
4. The 100ml size makes it a great value because it will last a long time.


- Slight prickly sensation on application (but it’s expected with the spicule shot)
- May not suit very sensitive skin — patch test recommended

- Loved the lightweight texture
- Hydrating without being greasy
- Skin looked visibly more plump and fresh
- The prickly sensation faded quickly and didn’t irritate my skin
- Pairs well with other serums in my routine
