I've tried lots of viral serums for stubborn hyperpigmentation but none worked even with high percentage like 10% niacinamide 
Can someone please recommend some good and reasonable priced serums 😭

Best serum for hyperpigmentation?

What are some drugstore makeup which doesn't disappoint and is budget friendly?

Drugstore makeup

This product contains alcohol and fragrance which may have caused small bumps/texture on my skin as I've noticed it become more visible everytime I applied this sunscreen! (Ingredients checked from incidecoder)

This sunscreen was a bit drying during summer. Wouldn't really repurchase this sunscreen as there are better options in the market now 

The COSRX Aloe Sunscreen is a popular choice among skincare enthusiasts. It's known for its lightweight texture, no white cast and Aloe vera which is a soothing ingredient.

In terms of effectiveness, it provides broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays, with an SPF of 50+. This means it helps to shield your skin from the harmful effects of the sun, such as sunburn and premature aging. 

My thoughts on this 💭:
As a brown girl, this sunscreen didn't give me a white cast like most sunscreens I had tried, it gave me a matte look rather than dewy like most people claimed but that's not an issue for me. 
I gave it 3 stars because I think it is worth a try! Because of its fairly cheap price for a 50ml SPF 50 sunscreen and just because it didn't suite me doesn't mean it won't suite others so surely try it! 

Nothing bad about this product but I do wish it came in a 30ml package instead 

✧*̥˚ Haruharu WONDER Black Rice Bakuchiol Eye Cream *̥˚✧

🧪 Key Ingredients: 
• Bakuchiol 
• Niacinamide 
• Madecassoside
• Adenosine 
• Fermented Black Rice & Bamboo Shoot Barks Extract 
• Natto Gum

👩‍🔬Claims to show improvements in: 
• Fine Lines 
• Wrinkles
• Pigmentation 
• Elasticity 
• Firmness 

🔑 Key point: 
• It contains Bakuchiol a natural plant-based alternative to retinol and gives exact retinol-like results without dryness and irritation.

💬 My Opinion on the product: 
• I've used it for some weeks and have seen slight difference in my under eyes! The dark circles have started to fade a bit and the fine lines have started to fade slowly. I also have very sensitive eyes and Bakuchiol hasn't irritated my eye area a bit!! Even with the damaged skin area around my eyes, this eye cream doesn't irritate and give a burning feel to it. It keeps my under eyes very hydrated and moisturized. Overall this eye cream from HaruHaru Wonder is really good and I would a 100% repurchase it again 💗 



Nothing bad about this product but I feel this may have caused me some small bumps on my skin (could be I developed an allergy from snail mucin) but everyone's skin is different so surely this might not happen for you 

I absolutely loved this product when i first used it! The essence is super hydrating and leaves my skin feeling plump and smooth. It gave an instant glass skin look when applied✨️
Love the product texture as it glides on smooth and layers well with other products 🫧
overall a great product 🐌💖

Nothing bad about this product but I do wish there were bigger sizes 

Tried this product when it newly came out and absolutely fell in love!! This toner is so hydrating and doesn't even irritate damaged skin 😍
It has a little thick texture but I don't mind that 
The fragrance is light and didn't really irritate my skin as most fragrances in skincare usually do.
The toner is overall very calming 😌💖 
A must have especially during winters for those whose skin gets really dry and dehydrated ✨️

This cleanser did nothing like it claimed! It only gave the stripping feeling after washing your face and did not fix my skin texture! I also feel like this cleanser damaged my skin barrier because the moment I stopped using this, my skin redness stopped. It also has a heavy smell of citrus. I really love cosrx but this product didn't live up to the hype. Though it contains 0.5% Salicylic acid, I thought my breakout chances would be less but I was wrong 😭 I tried 2% Salicylic acid cleanser to double check if it was COSRX face wash breaking me out or just BHA in general and guess what it was COSRX 😔😔 

💁‍♀️ Would I buy this again?:  
Never unless I want to live with a damaged, textured skin 


✧*̥˚COSRX Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser *̥˚✧

🌟 My Rating:
       1/10
🧪 Key Ingredients: 
• Lauric acid
• Salicylic acid
• Tea tree leaf oil 
• Salix Alba (Willow) Bark water  

👩‍🔬Claims to: 
• Calm down acne 
• Make skin free from roughness & bumps
• Unclog pores
• Control sebum production 

🔑 Key point: 
• It is a very foamy cleanser with 0.5% Salicylic acid, a pea size amount foams up alot and lasts Long time 

💬 My Opinion on the product: 
• First of all I had very high expectations from this product from all the reviews I have seen! I bought this cleanser since it is my first time using an exfoliating cleanser so I thought starting from low percentage would make my breakout lesser and then I can move on to higher percentages like 2% Salicylic acid cleanser but apart from brightening effect from the citric acid present in the cleanser it did nothing!!!
