Hello! This is not intended to highlight the differences between us and the accessibility, but to share best of the best with others. 

I see this platform as not only informative in regards to general skincare, but also a way to share and learn about cultural differences and needs, which is needed especially during these harsh times.

No marketing involved here, I just want to learn which are the brands and products from them that you love and why, how did these work for you and what are the ingredients and concerns they focus on. 

So I hope you will enjoy this topic and I do plan do start others related to favourite Asian skincare brans on other continents, favourite American / Australian, maybe even a North versus South battle 😁 and so on, so that we can all share, care, try and enjoy.

Favourite European skincare brands for other continents?

Nothing so far, I have been using it for close to 1 month so far. I do seem to finish it quickly, my skin eats this one :)) On a more serious note, there is a slight smell as mentioned previously which might not be on taste for everyone, Also i have not tried yet reapplying this over heavy face makeup so I cannot express an oppinion in this matter.

I have to admit that my skin is not very happy with many SPF formulations, however recently I have tried this one from Banila, as it seems also very practical for me.
And honestly... I LOVED IT. Smooth, protective, no irritations, velvety, slight non-disturbing smell, doesn&#39;t budge or pile up.

Slight tingling if you apply on dry or irritated skin

Hats down, this is the only Vitamin C serum that really had noticeable results with my skin. 
Other products that I have tried for reference: Rohto Mentolathum Vit C serum, The Ordinary Vit C + HA suspension,  Neutriherbs Vit C + HA and aome creams with Vit C as well.

However, this has been the most affordable and with great results:
The watery texture is actually preferred by my skin and after 1 bottle my dark acne spots which i had for months lightened!!!
Honestly it also helped with pore &amp; sebum care and fine lines as well, which gets me delighted when thinking of this serum and formula.

Looking forward to get back to this after I finish current product (Sesderma Vit C lipozomal serum).

Make sure the recipient will be kept clean before and after you squeeze out the product, as it does tend to oxidize a bit.
Not sure if this is fungal acne safe, though it worked well for my skin.

For my oily, acne-prone skin (with large pores, blackheads and all that), while used at night, it does help with hydration, lowering iritation levels and also with skin texture and sebum production - very important as our skin regenerates during the night also.
I do not wake up with an oily skin like before, it just looks clean and hydrated, plumped even, no oily patches or orange-skin like texture.
It does have a slight cooling effect and at the same time is also nourishing, so I used this during all seasons. 
A little goes a long way and it can be also layered without piling up. 
No negative reactions (I am using this type of mask for more than 1 year now) and there is a very slight fresh-herbal scent, not overpowering, which goes away in a couple of minutes.
The texture is very creamy, not buttery and did not caused any breakout or unconfortable sensations.

Overall, helped me in improving skin texture, irritation and sebum production, also with antioxidant benefits.

Stings a bit, so all of you those out there with sensitive skin, please take this into consideration. 
Other than this, no complaints, it does what is says with consistent use!

Well it seems I have the honour to write the first review for this cheeky one here.

Long story short: it really does what it says, as advertised.
Long story: 2% Salicylic Acid pimple spot treatment, which does help with those painful &#47; inflamed &#47; red &#47; gunky pimples. 

What it did for me: reduced inflamation, reduced the pain and size of the pimple, helped and improved healing process, dried out the problematic pimples.

How I used it: only and only on problematic areas, this is indeed a spot treatement. Day and night, 2 times a day or more. Can be used safely under makeup or with other skincare products, it doesn&#39;t pile up or look unaesthetic. Sinks in nicely, doesn&#39;t leave a noticeable film. My skin was not dried up or irritated when using this one. 

Please note: patch test before use!!! As it contains 2% Salicylic Acid, might be quite strong for some skin types. Might sting a bit upon application, goes away after several seconds. Slight medicated smell which also goes away rapidly. 

Very good applicator which prevents product spillage and waste!

Nothing so far, just worked well with me (at my 2nd bottle)

Very good moisturiser for oily skin, really. 
Leaves skin hydrated, non sticky, not shiny but with a natural velvety finish. Excellent in summer time in one layer.

Can be layered, but use a little product each time and massage that in so it doesn&#39;t pile up. 
It does help with the appearance of large pores and orange-like skin texture! I use it day and night, immediately after serums.

Lightweight milky texture that becomes watery at contact with skin. Noticeable cooling effect which is much appreciated during summer. Tip: SHAKE well before use! 

Besides the above mentioned, I really appreciate that this is a holy grail for broken and sensitive skin. I used this when my skin was wounded, but I had NO irritations or itchiness and the green tea helped in quick recovery and healing of wounds. 

And let&#39;s not forget: big bottle with a lot of product (in summer time i like to keep it in fridge for 5-10 minutes before use for extra coolness and refreshment).

Please remember to use it within 6 month of opening the bottle as it will oxidize and pile up.
