Picky

I recently tried the Hydrating Serum from Byoma and it is nothing short of divine! The silky texture and deep hydration are exactly what my skin needs, and I found myself using it up so quickly because I loved it so much.

One of the things I appreciate most about this serum is the combination of skin-strengthening ingredients like ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids, which work together to support the skin's natural barrier function. Additionally, the inclusion of squalane and glycerin provide an extra layer of hydration and nourishment, leaving my skin feeling plump and supple.

Overall, I would highly recommend this serum to anyone looking for a product that truly delivers on its promises. It's a skin barrier best friend that I'll be repurchasing for sure!

The bottle is quite small, so it runs out quite fast if you use it religiously.

I've been using Naturium's Azelaic Acid Emulsion 10 for a few weeks now, and while it hasn't blown me away, I have to say that I'm quite pleased with the product. The texture of the emulsion is nourishing and it pairs well on the ingredient list with other beneficial ingredients like niacinamide, squalane, and Lactobacillus Ferment.

One of the things I appreciate about this product is how easy it is to integrate into my skincare routine. I've noticed that it helps with postinflammatory hyperpigmentation, which is always a plus. While this product may not have been a game changer for me, I think it's a solid choice for anyone looking to incorporate azelaic acid into their skincare routine.

Wish the jar contained less plastic than it does. Larger options or reffils would be nice to have.

PRODUCT DETAIL

A lightweight hydrating cream that provides a boost of hydration to the skin all day long.

KEY INGREDIENTS

* Glycerin
* Sodium Hyaluronate

PACKAGING

I don’t have a problem with the jar packaging as there are preservatives to protect the formula. The plastic content of the jar is a bit too high maybe, so having refills available would be nice.

TEXTURE

A lightweight gel-cream that has the weight of a gel, but the power of a cream. Definitely not enough for drier skin types, but it’s a good boost of hydration if you want to use it before your moisturizer.

ABSORPTION

The great absorption is what makes me purchase this over and over again. The dimethicone makes it velvety smooth whilst applying and adds a soft, healthy glow.

OVERALL EXPERIENCE

Even if it’s quite basic, I always end up having a jar around during warmer months. As I have combination skin, this is a lifesaver during weather changes and it makes my skin look healthy smooth.

PRODUCT DETAIL

This lightweight toner provides hydration while helping with overall hyperpigmentation of the skin.

KEY INGREDIENTS

* Arbutin
* Glycerin
* Sodium Hyaluronate 

PACKAGING

What I loved about the packaging was the cap itself that let you dispense the perfect amount of product for one use. It closes properly and doesn’t leak while traveling.

TEXTURE

A very watery texture with a hint of viscosity to it. Really enjoyed the texture for its use.

ABSORPTION

My favorite part of using this product was the absorption. This got me into toners again, as it absorbs beautifully and preps the skin for the next steps while helping with hyperpigmentation.

OVERALL EXPERIENCE

I really enjoyed using this in my routine. I did notice some great improvements over hyperpigmentation with daily use, so consistency is key.

OVERALL EXPERIENCE

Even though this moisturizer has it all, it misses the whole point of actually moisturizing the skin. The effect wears off in about ten minutes after application, so it does not last all night as it’s supposed to. Before heading to bed, you end up with dry skin. I used half of the jar as a probiotic serum and applied something else on top. I really wanted this to be a good product.

PRODUCT DETAIL

Korres Greek Yoghurt Probiotic Nourishing Sleeping Facial is an elegant night moisturizer that soothes your skin and balances the microbiome.

KEY INGREDIENTS

* Greek Yoghurt
* Hyaluronic Acid

PACKAGING

A heavy-glass har packaging that I didn’t mind using. The formula seemed pretty stable over time and I avoid product contamination by washing my hands between steps.

TEXTURE

Luxurious cream texture that I instantly loved upon application. A truly elegant formula.

ABSORPTION

It absorbs nice and quickly without leaving any residue on the skin.
