I used to have acne but it cleared up with prescribed creams. I am now left with marks where the spots used to be. I'm new to skincare so I don't know much about ingredients and products. Please recommend skincare that will help with my dark marks. Preferably, products that are available in the uk and that are under £10. Thank you

Help with dark acne marks

I received the Intensive EGF peptide emulsion free from Picky and Coxir in exchange for my honest review.

The packaging is simple and elegant in the colours black, white and bronze. The serum is in a plastic bottle with a handy black pump.The pump allows me to control how much product I use, which is great. I like that it has a secure clear lid which fits perfectly over the pump to keep the product clean and air tight. The bottle contains 100ml of product. The packaging and product is good quality. 

The Intensive serum is formulated with EGF, peptide and collagen for brightening and firming. It is an anti-wrinkle and a vitalize care serum. 

It can be used daily in the morning or evening. The directions are to gently massage onto face in circular motions until absorbed. 

The serum has no scent. I found the serum glides over my skin effortlessly. It is a light weight milky white serum. It absorbs quickly and leaves a smooth satin finish on the skin. On my skin it feels like velvet. My skin is soft, nourished and hydrated during use. This is easy to use and does not leave a tacky finish which I love. This didn't cause me any irritation or breakout to my skin. I enjoy using this product. 

I haven't noticed any changes to wrinkles after one week of use however I'm happy that my skin is more supple and I will continue using this daily. I would repurchase this product. 

Thank you

I have to apply the product carefully because it streaks. My hands feel sticky and uncomfortable after using this. Unlike other serums, I wash my hands after use. 


I received the Mixsoon Bean Essence free from Picky and Mixsoon in exchange for my honest review.

The essence comes in a bottle, with a press pump. The pump is covered by a secure lid which keeps the product air tight. There is 50ml of product in the bottle. The serum is an oily champagne colour through the glass. The bottle is cute and small. It is a handy size to put in my bag, pocket or take on holiday. The box the bottle comes in is white with black lettering, written with soyink . The packaging is very simple. The pump is good quality. No product is left around the opening after each use which  prevents wasting any serum. 

The product claims are, it tackles five concerns with one single product. The essence tackles sebum, removes dead skin cells, blackheads, evens out skin texture and hydrates. This is a minimal beauty brand that is vegan and contains only the essential ingredients for the skin. Ingredients include Soybean Ferment, Pomegranate Ferment, Barley Seed Ferment and Pear Juice Ferment. This trendy essence has won Korea's essence award. Instructions are to pour a few drops of essence into my hand then gently tap over the face and neck. 

The essence has no fragrance. It is an oily sticky formula. It streaks when picking up the serum. I found the best way to apply this is by putting a couple of pumps on to my palm, then gently  rubbing my palms together and finally apply over my face and neck. This glides on effortlessly and quickly absorbs nicely into my skin . It leaves a semi matt natural finish when it dries. My skin looks and feels smooth, hydrated and nourished. It's lightweight on the skin. I need to wait for the product to sink in before applying other products over this.

After a week of using this product daily, I noticed it helped soothe my acne prone skin. It didn't cause any Irritation or breakout. It seems to do, what it claims. I would recommend this product and buy this again. 

I also received a second mixoon bean essence for free. The second one has lettering written in English which I appreciate. The first 50ml bottle lasted me around a couple of months using it daily at night. I found after using this for 2 months my skin is more even, smooth and soft.

I have not nothing bad to say about this product. 


Madagascar Centella Hyalu-cica water fit Sun serum. Spf50+ PA++++

I received this product for free from Picky and SKIN1004 in exchange for my honest review. 

It came in an elegant sealed light blue and white box. The box is decorated with the  image of beautiful ocean waves. The box feels like velvet or satin to touch which I find nice. The plastic white tube contains  50g of product.

I like that the opening is a pump. Press the blue pump to release the product. It also has a clear oval shaped lid which sits securely over the pump. The pump mechanism is great. I am able to control how much product I release. I like that I am able to release a small amount at a time. No product remains around the opening so no dried up sunscreen for my next use. 

I found this sun cream is better worn over my regular moisturiser.I prefer it with other products rather than on its own. I cover my whole face, neck and hands. It leaves no white cast and no stinging around the eyes which I love. This is a good daily sun protection face cream. I enjoy putting this product on, as it is lightweight and glides on easily. It does not have a scent. This does not cause a breakout or Irritation on my combination sensitive skin. 
This is my favourite sun cream and I would buy this product again.

Thank you.....

At first I felt a stinging sensation which did go away after around 5 minutes. It felt slightly heavy and uncomfortable with the gel patch on, but I quickly got used to it.  Before drying, the serum is sticky on the skin which I didn't like. I spread the excess essence on my skin, before it dried and absorbed into my skin.

I haven't noticed any reduction to dark circles, puffiness or wrinkles after one week of use. I wouldn't re purchase this product. 

I received the Deep Sea marine complex 73 Eye Patch, free from picky and BACIEL in exchange for my honest review.

It comes in a green and white tub and matching box. The packaging encourages me to believe that the product is healthy, fresh and nourishing .Reminds me of Seaweed. Under the screw off lid sits a small clear, plastic, washable spatula. There is a flap to lift off an additional cover. The product has a lovely clean and fresh scent. It looks green and slimy. It contains a generous amount of paired eye patches in the tub.

Ingredients and Claims:
Contains 73% sea water  Collagen,  amino acids, sea algae, sunflower seed oil, kelp, spirulina, and hydrolyzed collagen. Full of soothing ingredients that reduce the look of dark circles, puffiness, wrinkles and protect the skin around the eyes. Dual functions are brightening and anti-wrinkle.The mask gives rich moisturising and nourishment to tired eyes. It contains Ingredients to make under eyes bright and energized. Great for sensitive skin types and suits wrinkle concern. It is Dermatologically test completed. 

Instructions.
After cleansing, apply the patch on the desired facial area, using the enclosed spatula. Remove the patch after 20-30 minutes and gently pat the excess essence on the skin and massage as it absorbs into the skin. 

My experience. 
I first tried this on its own, without any other skincare products. I instantly felt a cooling affect under my eyes.The gel stays nicely on top of my skin. It's a good size patch, that covered all the way down the side of my nose. The eye patches are good quality and shape. It stayed intact and in place during the 30 minute skin care process.

I also tried this over my regular moisturiser and it was much better with no stinging sensation . 

As directed, I removed the patch after around 25 minutes .After removing the product, my skin is hydrated and moisturised. The product sank into my skin within 20 minutes. It Leaves a temporary tacky feel.

It would be much easier if I could get more product with each pump action. 


I received the efilow calming ampoule, free from picky and efilow in exchange for my honest review.

It arrived boxed, in beautifully wrapped patterned paper. The 50ml ampoule is in a thick glass green dropper bottle with a black plastic squeeze lid. The dropper is the perfect fit for the opening, so no serum residue is left around the rim. I prefer when skincare products are in a glass container. This keeps the product cool, fresh and lasting. The box the glass bottle came in is a simple design. The box is cushioned and double boxed. This means the glass bottle has added protection and is secure in the event of an accident and during delivery.  I like the packaging style and design.

The product is vegan and cruelty free which is a bonus. It has no scent. It is clear and watery in texture . The pump allows only one drop at a time. So I need to keep putting the pump back in the solution to get more drops. I don't mind this because it meant I take out no more than what I need to use. I used this product straight after cleansing my face. I used 3 pumps as instructed but felt I needed a couple more pumps to spread evenly. I patted the product into my skin. The finish is neither matt nor dewy. It leaves a sticky finish. 

My regular moisteriser and spf glided on and looked lovely over this. My makeup went on beautiful over this. Due to the sticky finish, I'm guessing this would make a great makeup primer.

Thank you
