🌸I received this product for free from Picky and BE THE SKIN in exchange for my honest review.🌸 I also only had 3 days to test them out, so this is only a first impressions and are not my final thoughts. I used only this range plus my own moisturiser and sunscreen.

The Pore Zero line is a range that from my experience so far, seems to be suited for people with oily skin. I personally have combination skin with a little dryness healing from a skin reaction (mostly on neck area so I didn't apply these products there).

Main point of this range is that the active ingredient is 🍃Willow-BHA🍃 aimed at mild exfoliation, reducing excess oil and minimising pores and blackheads, all of which are the main claims printed on the front of the packaging.

1️⃣My first impression of the cleanser is that it didn’t leave my skin feeling tight or dry - exactly as it claims. 👍 The foam created with hands is ok, the creamy texture does the job well enough to clean your face. However it foams up very well when you use either a foaming net or a cleansing brush. One main thing to note is that the fragrance is quite strong when you first use it - smells like if you walked into a perfume store mixed with a bit of nature.

2️⃣The toner is probably the best product in this entire line. ❤ The immediate effects I felt was that my skin was instantly smoother. With the highest concentration of 85% Willow-BHA, it works very well in exfoliating and helping with pore minimising and sebum-control. It’s also the only product that has no fragrance! I personally think this works great by layering it - like the 7 layer toner routine - due to its watery and lightweight consistency that absorbs into the skin fairly quickly. (EDIT: Do this as a once a week exfoliation, not everyday)

3️⃣For the serum, this also has the strong fragrance scent when you’re using it. But it goes away quickly after application. Like the rest of the range, it claims to reduce pores, blackheads, sebum and provide moisture. It recommends using 2-3 drops, which I did, but I didn’t notice any effects. Maybe because I’d already used the toner, my nose and cheeks are noticeably smoother and just generally nicer? It feels so nice to touch with no more bumpy feeling!

4️⃣The cream is more like a spot cream or treatment, assuming the smaller tube size and pointed tip is what usually indicates such a product. But I used it more like a cream and applied it to my problem areas - my checks and chin area, where my breakouts are currently happening. The listed effects are more on the long term, so using it for only 3 days means I haven’t seen any change in my skin unfortunately. Since it isn’t a moisturiser exactly, I used my own moisturiser cream on top, and sunscreen afterwards for the daytime.

⭐TLDR; I really enjoyed using this range. 😊 Although I haven’t been able to use it for long, I did enjoy the immediate smoothing and pore-minimising effects. In the future, I’ll probably mix it into my regular routine one by one and not use this range on its own. Using too much BHA isn’t always a good thing. 🙃 The fragrance is present in all but the toner, and quite strong. And I highly recommend the toner if you're wondering which to try! Also a before (top row) and after (bottom row) - redness is from me rubbing my face... heh.

BETHESKIN BHA+ Pore Zero Review

There was quite a delay in receiving my package but I finally got it today with less than 3 days to test and write up a review (due Nov 25th so leggooooo 😂)

Super excited to test it out. Will be using these products only for the next few days as I test them out. (So my regular routine will be hold for a bit.)

The brand was kind enough to also send sample sachets of the products, so I've already started on those. Definitely good first impressions for this product line - my skin hasn't reacted.

Anyone else received theirs? How are the products working out for you so far?

About a month later, I have finally received the October Halloween Picky box. 🎃 Took a while, did get a bit worried but hey, it's here now! Very excited, since I haven't tried any of these products before. So I'll definitely be slowly switching each one in as my current products slowly get used up. 😚

Also let me just say that this packaging is super cute! 👌  and since it's a Halloween box, they gave a bonus chocopie - which I've eaten hehe ☺

Has anyone tried any of these products before? Let me know what you guys thought about them! 💬

Wish they had a bigger bottle! Such a good sunscreen!

I received this product for free from Picky and ISNTREE in exchange for my honest review.
This is a sunscreen that is lightweight, goes on the skin without any stickiness, and doesn't leave a whitecast.
It feels like a lotion on the skin and gets absorbed relatively quickly. 
It has a pointy tip to dispense the sunscreen, making it easy to control how much product you need. Super convenient!
The sunscreen is also very moisturising and works very well under makeup. By hydrating the skin, the makeup sits nicely throughout the day and doesn't get too oily apart from what your skin might produce.

For negative points, I have to say the fragrance - it smells a bit like chemicals which is confusing since it is a product derived of plant ingredients. It might just be the mix that creates such a strong scent when you apply it to your skin.

I also didn’t really like the dispenser - the pump is easy enough to use and controls the exact amount dispensed, but it felt a little limiting when you press it down to pick up more product as it doesn’t pick up a lot.

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

The Purito Bakuchiol Serum - promoted as a serum that helps to address the early signs of aging in a fast-absorbing, viscous serum infused with 1% Bakuchiol.

What is Bakuchiol?

It’s an extract derived from the leaves and seeds of the Babchi plant. An asian herb that is used to heal, calm and soothe your skin due its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. It’s retinol’s gentler, less irritating sister for those with sensitive skin and is generally safe for all skin types.

Purito has paired bakuchiol with peptide as the main ingredients, aimed at refining pores, improving firmness and the appearance of fine lines and texture.

💜 Herb extracts of rosemary, oregano, lavender & thyme: improve skin elasticity
💜 Betaine: preventing moisture loss and provide a protective film to external irritants
💜 Allantoin: to calm sensitive skin

During the time I have used it, I noticed a difference in the softness of my skin and when used in the evenings before bed, I would wake with soft and hydrated skin that felt bouncy. The appearance of my pores mostly stayed the same, and I can’t comment on fine lines (still young!). 

It’s easy enough to use with the dropper - just pat onto your skin after toner, and can be used day and night. Just ensure you apply sunscreen during the day.

Another aspect is the packaging - Purito put in thought for a sustainable process in producing this product. Sourcing sustainable an upcycled ingredients, creating a 90% recycled glass bottle, and a 100% recycled paper packaging.

It’s definitely a good alternative to retinol if you are looking into trying a gentler anti-aging product.

That there's not enough of it to keep using forever! Jokes aside, there really isn't anything bad about it.

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

The sleeping mask claims to provide deep hydration overnight thanks to its specially formulated hyalu-cica for replenishing the skin’s hydration level and melatonin to firm the skin.

Key Ingredients:
- Healing: Centella Asiatica, Adenosine,
- Hydrating: Glycerin, Hyaluronic Acid, Polyglutamic Acid
- Brightening: Niacinamide
- Soothing: Panthenol 

It has a sweet fragrance - almost candy-like - most likely from the pear and melon fruit extracts that help to calm and vitalise the skin overnight.

The gel formula applies easily across the skin, providing a refreshing and cooling feeling (even more so if you store it in the fridge before use). It’s not sticky at all and gets absorbed beautifully into my skin.

I love using it and find that my skin feels soft and smooth in the morning. It gives your skin a subtle glow.

Overall, I found that it’s a great product to use as an alternative to your evening moisturiser, or if you’re lazy - go for a super simple routine with toner, serum and this sleeping pack. Or even just this sleeping pack alone.

Because of the pump design, you'll need to pump a few times to get to the recommended 2 finger rule per application.
Update: but I now much prefer this as it feels more lux and hygienic.

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

As someone who has only really been using sunscreens daily and consistently this year, this is one of my favourites to use out of the many I've tried and tested. 

The lightweight, serum-like cream, that leaves no white-cast and doesn’t irritate my eyes, the SKIN1004 Sun Serum is a chemical sunscreen that is amazing to use. It’s fragrance-free and packed with a list of great ingredients.

- Niacinamide: the multifunctional skincare ingredient for anti-acne, brightening properties
- Centella Asiatica: healing
- Camellia Sinensis Leaf extract: Green Tea!
- Glycerin: hydration 
- Hyaluronic Acid: more hydration!
- Tocopherol: vitamin E for photoprotection against UVB rays

As someone who doesn’t reapply sunscreen during the day, as I work indoors, I find that it works great under my makeup, without being greasy or sticky. 

It’s a simple enough product to provide protection from the sun and the pump is an innovative and unique design.

UPDATE: 
This has since become my absolute holy grail sunscreen. ✨️ I've been using for a year now? And received it again recently as part of another Picky review. 
But also no question hands down would buy again and again. Literally works so well under makeup without pilling. 
Keeps my face hydrated throughout the day. It is the sunscreen I reach for over and over even when I have other ones to use up. It blends in so seamlessly on the skin and absorbs quickly as well.
I just love it! 💙

Mask size is large and doesn't have the usual cuts in the mask for adjustability. But that happens with a lot of sheet masks. A very minor negative and didn't detract from the overall positives of the product.

A pore-tightening sheet mask with patented ingredients to help control sebum and refine pores. A 100% vegan product with a safe and gentle formula.

Ingredients:
💙 Patented tannin complex for pore care - to tighten pores and control sebum.
💙 Birch tree extract for the deep hydration.

Claims to improve pore size by 17.75% with only 2 uses in a fortnight through completed clinical trials. 

After refrigerating, it gives a moisturising and soothing effect with the cooling sensation. Like with most sheet masks, I have a small face, so the edges of the mask didn’t quite fit my face. However, the soft texture of the sheet mask made it easy to adjust on my face, and fit around the corners of my nose. I found it to be quite moisturising and saw the glow on my skin after use.

Immediately after and on the following day, my skin felt baby soft and smooth. My makeup applied beautifully, and my pores looked clear and tighter. What more could you want?

Also fragrance free!

Definitely recommend using this! And with the claim that pore size improves after only 2 uses in a fortnight, you definitely don’t have to use a lot of these sheet masks to see results.
