Thoughts on the Tower 28 SOS spray for acne?

I have a friend who swears by their products and doesn’t use anything else. I personally am not about to drop $250+ for a moisturizer. Do you think La Mer is worth the hype? What products by La Mer are actually worth investing in?

Looking for more natural looking falsies recommendations

What’s your fav/HG pair of falsies?

Exfoliating toner pads seem to be going viral in the skincare community as of recent, and I was so excited to try these ones out as I was hoping they would be able to help with my textured skin. However, I must say I was disappointed with this product. I didn't feel that it made any difference at all and  I didn't necessarily find that they helped with providing moisture to the skin either. There's an exfoliating side and a smooth side, but as like what others have said, there really isn't much of a difference when put into use. And after using these pads, they left my skin feeling very sticky and uncomfortable, somewhat of a suffocating feeling.
 
I wanted to love these, but it's a pass for me.

Although the packaging is really cute, I find that it is rather larger than other serum packaging, which isn’t as travel friendly as I’d like it to be.

First of all, the packaging is so cute! It’s a twist top which then brings up a nozzle for dispensing, super sanitary and unique for a serum product.

The serum itself is more of a gel like cream I would say, but it’s still quite light and weightless and becomes very watery once you start working it into the skin. It absorbs really quickly into the skin and doesn’t feel sticky at all, but rather gives you a beautiful dewy glow. I use this twice daily for most days after cleansing and toner and then top it off with a moisturizer. However, sometimes after working out or if I feel the moisture in my skin is enough, I can just use this serum alone without moisturizer and it still gives me enough hydration. 

I’ve noticed my complexion and skin is a lot more smoother and supple looking. This serum not only provides the skin with deep and long lasting hydration, it also has the function to gently exfoliate the skin without irritating it and suitable for daily use. 

I've been using this product in the morning and in the evening for the past week or so after cleansing, toner and the Laneige Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Serum and I'm absolutely loving the results. My skin has been looking less dull and more glowy, hydrated and plump… truly like "glass skin."
 
The texture of this product is quite a thick cream consistency (similar to the original formulation), it's very rich, creamy and lux, but the upside is that it's no longer as greasy or sticky! It spreads really easily and absorbs into the skin really quickly too and doesn't feel like you have an extra layer of cream on, which makes this perfect for the harsh winter months, but also light enough for the hotter weather.
 
The scent of the cream is also quite nice, slightly floral and fresh, but it's very subtle and relaxing and not overpowering at all.
 
The packaging is also really cute, I love the pastel blue colour with the little pink pastel spatula wand (which I think is an amazing addition especially for creams out of a jar, just to keep things clean and sanitary) and it just makes me so excited to use this product everyday!

There is a scent to the product, personally I don't mind the scent, I find that it's very light and subtle and somewhat relaxing, but for those that might be sensitive to smells or prefer products without fragrance just keep this in mind if it is something of concern.
 
I also understand this product is a Korean brand and product, but it would have been nice to have instructions written in English either on the box or as a pamphlet inside the box for those that can't read or understand Korean to outline how many times a day we should use it or how to use it, etc.

I received this product for free from Picky and Nacific in exchange for my honest review.
 
The first thing that caught my eye was the beautiful red colour to the toner, which in a sense feels somewhat mysterious, but also very suitable for tackling irritation and pesky acne spots.
 
The toner is very lightweight and watery in consistency and feels very soothing and calming upon application to the skin. I use this following cleansing with a cotton pad, in the morning and evening, and over time I feel like this product really helped to regulate and control the oil production in my skin without stripping or drying down my skin, but rather to keep it moisturized at the same time (as it does contain hyaluronic acid, glycerin and rosewood oil).
 
As salicylic acid is the main active ingredient in this product, It really helps to renew the skin by getting rid of the dead skin cells, revealing brighter and smoother skin, while also reducing inflammation from breakouts and speeds up the healing process.
 
Packaging wise, I really love the matte polished feel to the bottle, it feels very clean and minimalistic, but also very high end. I also love the little detail of adding safety seals on the box itself and the product itself to ensure sanitary and hygienic purposes, especially when it comes to skincare and acne issues and it just gives an added layer of longevity to the product's shelf life. There is also a blank space where you can jot down the date of opening of the product on the back of the bottle which I think is a very thoughtful detail, and just allows you to keep track of when you opened the product and just to keep in mind when it's time to throw it out especially if you switch back and forth from different toners constantly to suit your skin needs.

I did notice my skin breakout with tiny little bumps after using it for a few days, so I’m not sure if it’s my skin purging out all the impurities or if its a sensitivity to the product. I wanted to love it, but it’s just not for me.

The texture of the cleanser is gel like, and more on the watery side. It does foam up, quite nicely and does a good job in cleaning and doesn’t strip the skin making it feel tight. 

I think the product does remove makeup and everyday impurities quite well. 

It snells quite fresh and natural as well.
