Finally got my Wishtrend package, yayy! 🤩 I really appreciate the recent partnership of Picky and Wishtrend! Eversince I joined the Picky community, I’ve been exposed to a lot of new interesting kbeauty brands and have been learning a lot from fellow skin-thusiasts! 💛

From the Picky and Wishtrend partnership, I noticed a lot of people got products from Dear Klairs and I’m from, but as for me, I got myself a bunch of Elmt (read as “element”) products! ✨ 

A few months ago, Elmt had a giveaway on Picky. Unfortunately, I didn’t win. So I’m taking this opportunity to get a hold of their toners and try them out, since they’re not easily available where I’m from. Also, they’re currently a new exclusive brand on Wishtrend!

I’m super excited to try these!! 🤩 They have four types of toners that is formulated to target different concerns – calming, illuminating, activating, and exfoliating. I got three (illuminating, activating, exfoliating) of the four toners, because they were supposedly holy grail for my skin– I checked on Picky! 

Each bottle retails at $20, so three bottles cost a total of $60. Good thing I was able to use my Picky x Wishtrend points as well as new sign-up points, and was able to save a total of $25 plus fees on shipping! So for a total of 3 Elmt toners (and 2 Dear Klairs toner freebies), I only spent $35 (roughly Php 1,600). What a steal!!! 🌟🤩

So since I’m super excited about this, I decide to share a bit more about the toners I got, you guys might be able to find something that will pique your interest 😄

The SKIN ILLUMINATING SOLUTION includes Niacinimide, Grape Extract, and Pomegranate. The 51.91% Grape and Pomegranate extracts claim to brighten the skin for a healthier glow with its antioxidants. Since it also has Niacinimide, it is said to help with controlling moisture and pH levels of the skin to help with improving it overall. 

The SKIN ACTIVATING SOLUTION is made up of 14.7% Chinese Skullcap Root extract and 58% Green Tea extract to help with irritations and helps with achieving healthier skin. Both these ingredients help with relief and skin-improving effects.

The GENTLE EXFOLIATING SOLUTION is formulated with AHA, Vitamin C, and 49.02% blueberry and raspberry extracts. The berries are said to be antioxidant-rich, and can help reduce inflammation, while the AHA and Vitamin C works well in removing dead skin cells. All of these ingredients combined gives an effective daily exfoliator to calm irritated skin while exfoliating. 

So there, those are the three toners I got. 😊 But for those who are curious about the other toner they carry, here you go!

The ADVANCED CALMING SOLUTION contains more than 59.12% Centella Asiatica and Polysaccharide. Centella Asiatica helps with skin restoration, regeneration, and soothing; while Polysaccharide focuses on hydrating the skin and protecting the skin barrier. This toner-serum claims to be a one-stop solution to hydrate, heal, and soothe.

For more details on these products, you may check them out on [https://www.wishtrend.com/brand/elmt]. Most of the information here were referenced from Wishtrend’s details of Elmt. I’m no expert when it comes to skin care. I’m a beginner and still learning a lot about my skin, kbeauty brands, and ingredients.✌🏼I’m just really excited to try these out and share my mini haul with you guys! 😂🙈

Elmt 🍃 from Picky x Wishtrend!

Hey guys! Just want to ask what ✨underrated✨ skincare products / brands you consider as your holy grail?

I’m curious to know what you guys think about brands like Iunik, Axis-y, Somebymi and other wonderful brands that you guys think are underrated! 🌸 Thank you!

Underrated Skincare Brands 💫

My main skin concern is really visible pores which could most probably be from genetics, but are there effective products or routines to help with this? 😊

Bye Pores, Hello Glass Skin!

Is skincare really enough to be minimize pores or do people also do facial laser treatments to maintain their poreless skin?

I see so many skinfluencers with beautiful healthy skin, but I wonder if they do other treatments outside skincare to achieve those.

Honest thoughts only! 💭

Hey guys! Wanted to ask what are good ✨gentle✨ exfoliators? Recently I’ve been reading up (and watching James Welsh) and starting on exfoliating my skin and I wanted to hear what products are effective and gentle? I’m not really acne prone, it’s just that I have a few milia and pimple scars want to get rid of 😊

Working my way up on BHA / Niacinimide 🤔

I love how lightweight and fast absorbing this is! Look how watery it is, which makes it very easy to apply. It claims to boost overall skin condition like pore, sebum, firmness, skin texture. I’ve been using this for a few times and haven’t seen much difference on my pores but I did notice how hydrating this is! It also sets nicely on the skin and isn’t sticky at all. Very excited to see how this goes in the long run!

None so far! I already bought my second bottle!

First time trying Niacinimide Serum and this one’s gentle enough on my skin! Fortunately, I didn’t experience any irritation. 👏🏼

The Good Molecules Niacinamide Serum is formulated with 10% Niacinamide and it claims to help refine skin tone and texture for a brighter, healthier-looking skin.

It has no scent, and the texture is lightweight - watery but a bit gel-like. It absorbs really well too and can be used in the AM under makeup! ☺️

This cream comes in gel-like consistency and helped so much with the dry skin on the corner of my nose! I love how hydrating this is while being very lightweight and watery. It claims to be enriched with botanical extracts to nourish the skin! This cream is also very soothing and perfect for sensitive skin. 

Since it’s thick in consistency, it does leave a white cast. So I recommend using this at night before bedtime 🌝

When I first got this product, I didn’t love it immediately. I found it too thick for my liking and I was scared it’ll cause me milia (since I’m prone to milia when I use heavy creams).

But then I researched more on how to use this product and found out that it’s better to be used on particular areas with blemishes &#47; pimples, and this worked wonders for me! 🤩✨ 

So far it was able to treat my pimples overnight and was able to lighten them beyond my expectations. Will definitely repurchase this and use as one of my go-to pimple treatments 😊

Oh, and I also love the calming scent of this!

Helps with the glow ✨

Before purchasing a bigger bottle, I tried the small bottle first, and loved it 😌 It fits perfectly into my morning (brightening) skincare routine. I use this before my Vitamin C serum and it definitely helped with the brightening.

I love this consistency of this toner because it’s a bit thicker than water, so it stays on your skin (it doesn’t drip off your face easily!). But it’s also not that thick to the point that it feels irritating. It’s actually super lightweight and will seep through your skin after a few pats. 😊

It is said to have 70+% black bee 🐝 propolis which helps recover our skin. I can say it has definitely contributed to helping my pimples heal a bit faster than usual. Yay!

It’s fragrance-free too, so those who are fan of fragrance-free products will be happy about this ☺️
