And these are things you need to consider before buying this toner:

⛔ If you searching for a hydrating toner and you have a dry skin type, i would not really recommend  this for you. It&#39;s great for calming and etc, but it does not hydrating at all in my opinion. 

⛔ Because the texture is super watery, sometimes it&#39;s really hard for me to get this toner out of it&#39;s bottle without the product slips around my finger and just pouring on to the floor, lol.

I love to use toner in my daily routine. It&#39;s usually hard for me to buy a new one because there&#39;s a lot of good toners in the market. They have many different purpose and lots of unique ingredients. I choose this Green Tea Fresh Toner from Isntree because I never use green tea in my skin care before, so I got curious and decided to buy and try this toner.

I already used this for more than two weeks now, and this is why I would recommend this amazing toner for you! 

❇️This toner has a very watery texture. It absorbs super fast and does not left any sticky feeling afterwards! This is actually perfect for you who have an oily skin because it does not feel heavy or uncomfortable at all.

❇️ I really recommend to use this toner with CSM method. This toner succesfully reduce my redness and can helps to calm acne too. Of course it takes time to work, but I can see the result so I&#39;m not complaining. This toner is also great for calming itchiness that I got when my skin is to dry.

❇️It smells like a herbal tea. Kinda remind me of old books too. It&#39;s subtle, nice, and calming. I personally love it, but I know some people who don&#39;t. It depends on your preference, really. The color reminds me of a freshly brewed tea, so pretty! But don&#39;t worry, the color would not leave any stains. 

❇️ The formula features a blend of plant extracts to control excess oil and 80% green tea extract sourced from Jeju Island to protect, brighten, and further balance skin. Other notable ingredients include centella asiatica extract to reinforce the skin’s barrier, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid to hydrate, allantoin to soothe, and blueberry fruit extract to relieve skin stress.

❇️ This product is free of parabens, pigment, artificial fragrance, animal ingredients, surfactants, mineral oil, alcohol, silicone and fragrance.

❇️ You can get this toner (200mL) for ±160.000 IDR. This toner is really worth your money, trust me!

The product is kinda pricey for me. But this is so worth it!

This is my first time trying a retinol product. I really interested because everyone has been talking about this ingredient everywhere. Like, every beauty-guru love this and recommend it. I don&#39;t know anything about retinol before, so i try to do some searching. 

Basically, retinol is a derivative of vitamin A, retinol has been around for decades and has been a go-to skin care solution. It&#39;s used for all sorts of skin remedies, including fighting acne, reducing wrinkles, reversing sun damage, shrinking pores—all the good stuff. 

Rather than removing dead skin cells as many other anti-aging and acne products do, the small molecules that make up retinol go deep beneath the epidermis (outer layer of skin) to your dermis. 

How can i not buying a retinol product after hearing about every single praises it does to people skin? Bruh.

So i decided to try a retinol ampoule from an Indonesian local brand called Avoskin. I&#39;ve been using their Miraculous Refining Serum, and that is my holygrail and i just can&#39;t live without it. 

I&#39;ve been using this retinol ampoule from Avoskin for about three months or so. And this is my review:

🌈The Packaging is the same as Avoskin Miraculous Refining Serum. A dark regular serum bottle with a dropper. You can&#39;t really see inside the bottle. But it&#39;s great, because it&#39;s not easily to contact with sun exposure.  The dropper work very well. I don&#39;t really have anything to complain about the packaging of this ampoule. 

🌈I can say that my skin feel a lot smoother and firmer whenever i use this ampoule before going to bed. I also rarely get acne nowadays. It&#39;s really something to be celebrate about because usually i get acne EVERYDAY. No kidding, my face used to be full of acnes. It also faded some acne scars, but it&#39;s not really noticeable in the beginning. It&#39;s working slow on reducing acne scar, but i can see some results after using it for months. 

🌈This serum contains 3% Actosome Retinol, it  works 20% better and 50% more safetier than your average retinol. This ampoule also has a lot of helpful ingredients such as peptide, vitamin e, green tea, and raspberry extract. They can helps to prevent dryness that usually came after using a retinol product. The ingredients also very nutrishing and rich in anti-oxidant. With everything that came with this product, how can i not love it? 

🌈It has a slightly thick texture with a milky white color and no parfume. It&#39;s easy to spread all over my skin, and can penetrate deep into the layers. The ampoule feel a little bit sticky after i used it, but it makes my skin glowing and i can&#39;t complain about it. 

🌈You can get this retinol ampoule from Avoskin for ±250.000 IDR (30mL)

⛔The packaging is not travel-friendly. It&#39;s too big and you can accidentally push the pump and make a mess everywhere. 

⛔Even when it does not sting my eyes, it&#39;s still can blur my vision for a short-moment if i&#39;m not careful with it. 

⛔This product contains Shea Butter, so it can possibly clogged your pores (I don&#39;t have this problem so far).

When i just started my skincare journey, i learn a lot by reading articles and watching skincare 101 videos on youtube. The first thing everyone told me is about double cleansing. I never knew this is a thing before. I thought cleansing your face with ordinary face wash and water is enough, but oh boy—how wrong was i. 

Double cleansing is important because oil-based cleanser (like cleansing oil and cleansing balm) are better at removing any oil-based dirt, sebum and cosmetics. Meanwhile, water-based cleanser are better at removing the non oil-based dirt and any excess residue left behind from the first step.

I already use this Kose Softymo Speedy Cleansing Oil for about six months, and this is why i like this product:

❇️I have oily skin, and i thought that cleansing oil will do more harm to my skin—but it&#39;s not. This cleansing oil by Kose is very light and not as heavy as i think it would be. It&#39;s really easy to spread and you can just massage your face without too much effort. 

❇️It can easily removed any make up on my skin. I don&#39;t need to rubbing it too harsh because this oil cleanser can do it&#39;s job properly. It also don&#39;t need too much time to cleanse my skin, so it&#39;s really helpful for people who have sensitive skin and can&#39;t rub their skin for too long. 

❇️This cleansing oil does not sting my eyes, so it&#39;s really comfortable everytime i need to removed my mascara&#47;eyeliner. I don&#39;t specially have sensitive eyes tho, but i tried another cleansing oil from another brand and it&#39;s burns my eyes so bad 😣

❇️This product is alcohol-free, fragrance-free, paraben-free, and pregnancy-friendly! 

❇️Even if this is an oil based cleanser, when it came in contact with water, you can remove this and all the dirts on your face easily. It would turn into a milky-like texture and blend in with the water, so you need to apply this cleanser on a dry face first. After i wash my face with water to remove the cleanser, my skin does not feel dry at all! 

❇️After using it for months, i can see that this product also helps with my blackhead. I&#39;ve tried the 15 minutes method with cleansing oil before (not recommended, it can be irritating) and it really can melt most of the blackhead i have on my nose, but it also make them turn red like a tomato, lol 🍅 

❇️The packaging came with a pump, so it make it easier for me to get the oil out of it&#39;s bottle. 

❇️You can get this product (230mL) for ±120.000 IDR. This cleansing oil can last for about 8-10 months depending on how much you use it. I just need one and half pump if i don&#39;t have too much make up on my face. I use this for night time routine only. 

Remember,  even when this product can remove oil-based dirt and make up you still need to use water-based cleanser to cleanse your skin properly ✨

⛔This face wash is not really practical. If you want to have fun while washing your face, sure this product is for you. But if you just want to wash your face and done with everything—nah. If you tired and just want to do anything quickly, i don&#39;t think this face wash would works for you. 

⛔You need to be careful when pouring the products out of it&#39;s bottle because it has no filter and you can make everything messy.

⛔It&#39;s super expensive for a face wash! 😂

I got this face wash as a gift and i really excited to try it because i never use this kind of face wash before! It&#39;s so unique and i love to try new skincare products! I&#39;ve been hearing a lot about By Wishtrend product lately and most people love them. I&#39;m really grateful for By Wishtrend Indonesia because they give this product to me for free (otherwise, i can&#39;t afford it, lol).

This is what i like about this product:

❇️By Wishtrend Green Tea &amp; Enzyme Powder Wash is a powder (yes, you read it right) kind of face wash. It has soft green color and smell delicious like a matcha milk tea. If you look closely, you can see a little bit green tea powder mixed with this facewash. 

❇️It&#39;s a low PH (5.5) cleanser and also can be used as a gentle scrub. You don&#39;t need to worry about the scrub, the powder is really small and it melts quickly if you use this with a wet skin. My skin usually turned red if i use any kind of face scrub thus why i don&#39;t really like to use them, but with this face wash my skin feels fine and i don&#39;t see any red marks on my face. I think this product would be save for senstive skin to used. 

❇️This product contains Papain Enzyme, Coconut-derived Surfactant and Baking Soda who can gently melt away blackheads, impurities and dead skin cells for brighter and smoother skin. So far, after using this face wash, my skil feel refreshed and clean. I don&#39;t really see any results on my blackhead now, but i hope i can see it in the future. 

❇️How to use this facewash? You just need to mix the powder and a little bit of water. It would turn a little bit bubbly and then you can wash your face normally. After using this face wash, my skin still feel clean and not dry at all. It&#39;s a plus because i hate feeling tight after using a cleanser. 

❇️Other than face wash and scrub, you can also use this product for a mask! Wild right? I know. You just need to mix the powder with a water until it has a right consistency and apply it like a usual face mask. After 1-2 minutes, rinse it off with lukewarm water. This is the true definition of multipurpose skincare, lol. 

❇️This By Wishtrend Green Tea &amp; Enzyme Powder Wash is cruelty-free, save for pregnancy, free from alcohol, parabenes, coloring agent, and perfume. It also has long shelf-life and low contamination risk due to powder form. 

❇️The packaging is a soft green bottle with a flip-flop cap. Super cute!

❇️You can get this powder facewash for ±250.000 IDR for 70g.

This product is safe for daily use. It&#39;s unique and really interesting to use. Would i recommend it? Yes! Absolutely!

📌Cons
My skin feel more oily after I use this product daily for about two weeks. My skin starts feeling itchy and dry on my cheeks area. It&#39;s really uncomfortable so I try to use more of this product. It&#39;s not getting better, tho. Too much and my skin only get more and more oily afterwards. It&#39;s also create a layer above my skin and I personally hate it. 

I think this moisturizer does not work for me.

The 50mL bottle is super hard and make it difficult to get the lotion out of it.

I&#39;ve been using this lotion for about a month now. I just bought the mini-size one since I never tried any products from Roundlab before. It&#39;s cheap and I read many good reviews about it. This is my final thought about this product:

📌𝐓𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 &amp; 𝐒𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭
This have no fragrance and smells like nothing. This product is very light-weight and has milky white color. If I use just a lil bit of it the absorbing pace is quite fast, but if too much it would create a layer on top of my skin and honestly I kinda uncomfortable with that. 

📌𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐨 𝐈𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬
✨Centella Asiatica Extract for anti-inflammatory and wound healing agent. 
✨Licorice Root Extract for soothing and brightening.
✨Squalane as a emollient. 
✨3 kind of Hyaluronic for moisturizing. 

📌𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐬
At first, I really do like this moisturizer for it&#39;s super light-weight texture. It does not feel heavy and let my skin breath but still moisturizing enough because I only use a lil bit of the product before. I love the ingredients list. They looks promising and contains lots of goodies. 

📌𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐞
±50.000 (50mL)
