Finally

Isntree hyaluronic acid aqua gel cream:

It contains 5 types of hyaluronic acid.

My experience:
I have been using this since a month and am already loving it. It gives enough hydration and moisture to the skin and gives healthy glow. It's a light weight gel cream like texture which absorbs super quickly. It doesn't make face greasy or sits heavy on skin. It has many bomb ingredients which i love. Definitely would repurchase.

THE SKINHOUSE WRINKLE SUPREME TONER

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

KEY INGREDIENTS:
9 types of mushroom
Ginseng extract
Pomegranate extract
Hyaluronic acid
Propolis extract
Glycerine.

PACKAGING:
It comes in a 130 ml beautiful glass bottle with a pump dispenser.(not travel friendly tho)

TEXTURE:
It's a clear gel like texture.

MY EXPERIENCE.
Even though it has a gel like consistency it spreads across the skin easily and absorbs into the skin pretty quickly. It has a floural scent which doesn't fade away quickly. When i used this toner my skin stung and cheeks became red, i felt burning kind of sensation but i used it the other day too thinking my skin might get used to this but it's a big NO ( i didn't do a patch test first, my bad). I used this for 3 days and it just damaged my skin barrier 😭 and it took me a week to calm down my skin.
I can't talk about it's anti aging and other benefits because I couldn't use it.( Even if i was able to use this, i can't talk about anti aging benefits because I am in my early 20's as i don't have wrinkles).

I have sensitive skin so fragrance in skincare is one of biggest issues for me. It didn't suit my skin that doesn't mean it will not suit for you. For those who don't have any problem with fragrance can definitely try this .

Thank you picky and skinhouse for giving me a chance to try this.

 REVIEW ON @suganda.co BHA EXFOLIATING SERUM:

✨KEY INGREDIENTS:
✨2% Salicylic acid-gentle exfoliator, reduces acne and bumps.
✨Green tea leaf extract - Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, reduces skin irritation and redness.
✨Propylene glycol - Humectant (Absorbs water
from air). It has better skin permeation than glycerine, 
✨Glycerine - Humectant (Retains moisture)
✨Centella asiatica - skin soothing and moisturising.

MY EXPERIENCE:
It is a gentle exfoliator with 2% salicylic acid which penetrates deeper into the pores and reduces blackheads and Whiteheads. have been using this serum since 1 month. It has a light weight texture which absorbs easily. I have observed my skin texture became soft and smooth. It helped to reduce acne and breakouts and also controls sebum production. This serum is alcohol and fragrance free which makes it suitable for sensitive skin. My blackheads got reduced but not completely gone. I use this serum twice a week. It doesn't cause any irritation on my skin. For beginners i advice to start using once a week and increase the frequency slowly Always do a patch test first.

I don't find this moisturising enough for winter as skin tends to get more dry.It might be a good moisturizer for summer.

REVIEW ON @plumgoodness RICE
WATER AND NIACINAMIDE SERUM:

✨KEY INGREDIENTS:
✨Niacinamide (10%) - Regulate sebum production and minimises appearance of pores.
✨ Rice ferment filtrate - rich in amino acids. Clears blemishes and soothes redness.
✨ Liquorice root extract - soothes skin ✨Glycerine - Humectant

✨PACKAGING

✨TEXTURE:

✨MY THOUGHTS:

✨I was a bit hesitant at first as i didn't use 10% Niacinamide before (used 5% Niacinamide serums).
I thought it might irritate my skin but to my surprise it didn't even sting a bit.

✨ It's so gentle yet effective. I have been using this since I received this and loving it in my routine. I love it's texture and how it absorbs so well. It stands true to it's claims. helps in controlling sebum production without making skin dry. As it has rice extract i felt it even brightens up skin a little bit.

✨It's fragrance free, alcohol free - suitable for
sensitive skin types too. 
Would definitely repurchase it.

Always do a patch test first.
