Purging or Skin Reaction?

We all have this part that always have breakouts. Mine is on the jaw area. I wonder where's yours 🤔😅

Where is the usual location of your pimple/s?

What products/brand in the market right now do you think are overly-hyped? I mean, when you see reviews about it, you can't say no and will definitely add the item to your cart, but unfortunately did not do any better for your skin.

Products that are over-hyped

Hyaluronic acid is so in right now. There are a lot of products that came out with hyaluronic acid. Which of these brands you love the most and why?

Hyaluronic Acid

I am curious, what product/s gave you some skin purges and reactions?
It's better if you'll going to tag the products.

The packaging is not travel friendly. It is big, bulky, and heavy because of its glass container.

I received this product for free from Picky and ISNTREE in exchange for my honest review.

This is one of the latest in the onion line. It is inspired by microneedling techniques that contain 3 different lengths of micro spicules coated with. Panthenol to strengthen skin barrier, hyaluronic acid for deep hydration and collagen to improve skin elasticity.

I use this once a week (at night) due to my sensitive skin and apply the Isntree gel cream afterwards to calm my skin immediately.

Just a little reminder, this product stings and I recommend those first timers to not rub it on your skin and just dab it lightly.

Thank you so much Picky and Isntree in sending me this beautiful product.


The downside that I can give to this product is the rinsing off time it takes because it is too slippery. But even so, I still give it a perfect 5&#47;5 score! Because everyone needs a good rinse anyway.

🍊Features
🔸A lightweight and mild cleanser that delivers a clear and radiant skin
🔸Has a pH level of 5.5, a slightly acidic level to maintain a healthy skin condition 

🍊Claims
🔸Removes dirt mildly
🔸Stops bacterial invasion into the skin and removes the excess sebum while maintaining the skin&#39;s moisture thus protects the skin from future infections

🍊Key Ingredients
🔸Salicylic acid- helps in reducing acne
🔸Chlorhexidine Digluconate- kills bacteria and protects the skin from future breakouts
🔸Sea Buckthorn Extract- has Vit. C &amp; E
🔸Honey Extract- to reduce skin redness

🍊Packaging, Appearance, Scent
🔸It is enclosed in a white 150 ml plastic tube
🔸I love the fact that it uses a flip top cap for convenience and not a twistable one. Gives me more control in dispensing a product that is on the watery side like this one
🔸The product is a translucent gel with a slight yellow tinge to it that is slightly viscous and has a very citrussy scent

🍊Usage
🔸I personally use a pea size of this cleanser which give off a decent amount of suds for my whole face
🔸Wet face and massage it mildly in circular motions
🔸Rinse throughly and pat dry

💡Quick Tip
It would be better to use this cleanser with a sonic facial wash to help in massaging your face further and also phishing out the dirt even more

🍊Experience &amp; Observations
🔸The cleanser is very slippery to begin with and washing it off may take longer than usual. Be sure to rinse it off completely
🔸The first time I tried using this facial cleanser, I felt an instant feeling of smoothness on my skin
🔸I have not experienced any stings or itchiness during and after using it
🔸A continuous usage of it made my skin plumper and radiant
🔸I observed that my oil production especially on my nose and forehead diminished

🍊Recommendations
🔸Great for all skin types, but I recommend it more to people who are suffering from excess sebum production like my skin
🔸I give this cleanser a perfect 5&#47;5 🍊 Lovin&#39; it!

The packaging of this (60 ml) is less appealing in aesthetics compare to the 30 ml version which is in a glass jar.

I have no negative feedbacks for this product

It balances, brightens and firms the eye area. 

It has Vit. B3, B5, and 2 kinds of Vit. C for brightening and 11 different peptides for a suppler, firmer and smoother skin. 

I love the passion fruit scent of this cream. It is not strongly fragranced and it can relax the senses.

It moisturizes without the stickiness or tackiness. It is lightweight and quickly absorbed by the skin.  I use this without any issues on my pillow. 😅
