I got this fridge from Laneige a couple of years ago and was wondering if I'm due an upgrade but so far I really love having this fridge 😆 I wanna know if any of you have any skincare fridge recommendations

Does anyone here have a skincare fridge?

Currently looking to switch from retinol to retinoids (edit: retinal) but I'm not sure where to start. Please drop your recommendations and I'll be eternally grateful ❤️ currently I've just been using Somebymi's retinol and was thinking of shifting to Cosrx

Favorite Retinoids?

Hi everyone! I just wanted to share the Demon Slayer X Kose products I got.  I've never used Kose but I couldn't resist this as a weeb 🤣 also featuring my cat in the video 
Have any of you tried Kose? What do you think about the brand and its products?

What are your new year's resolution regarding any skin concerns you have? Recently met up up an old friend whose skin is literally flawless - no enlarged pores, no blemishes, GLOWING skin 😭 
My resolution is to try to achieve that but spending as little as possible since I'm gonna be on a strict budget

New Year Resolution

What are your thoughts on combined products instead of 2 separate products you layer? I've read that you shouldn't use combined products but I don't really understand why.  If you do use any, could you link down below?

💭Thoughts:
I was really excited to try this moisturiser because I’d heard so many good things about Skintific and the ingredients in this moisturiser sounded perfect for my goal: getting glass skin. The first thing that caught my eye was how cute and pink both the box and tub are! Aside from my love of pink, I also love that the tub was clearly well thought out - it comes with an inner lid AND a spatula that sits comfortably on top of the lid which makes it convenient and hygienic.

This is such an amazingly lightweight gel moisturiser. It glides on smoothly and melts instantly into my skin, leaving it cool, soft and moisturised. I especially love the cooling feeling as the weather has been obscenely hot at times and I really felt refreshed each time I applied this gel. After using this for several weeks, my skin is soft, hydrated and ✨️glowing✨️The best part is this is so long-lasting and my skin doesn’t feel tight or dry at any time of the day after use. There is also no sticky or tacky feeling after application.

Retinol is a very strong ingredient and needs to be used carefully. Those with sensitive skin (and as a general rule) should start out with a small amount and slowly increase the amount over time. I'd recommend an adjustment period of:

1st week: once every 3 days
2nd week: once every 2 days
3rd week: every day

For me, I've been using this for a few weeks now and sometimes when I spread/dab on the cream to an area that I haven't used this cream on it starts to sting. 

Other important things to note:
🚩 Be careful when mixing with AHA, BHA, Vitamin C
🚩Can cause sun sensitivity ➡️ use it only at night or make sure to apply SPF on top if using in the daytime

Tip: layer on your usual skincare routine on your arm and leave it for a few hours to see if there are any adverse reactions
Sandwich method: apply a layer of moisturiser, then a layer of retinol then another layer of moisturiser to reduce risk of sensitivity

Retinol Intense Triple Action Eye Cream by @somebymi @somebymi.official_my 

After having seen so many reviews and promotions on this, I caved and bought it. Claims to
✨️ reduce fine lines/wrinkles
✨️ brighten dark circles
✨️ firm up your skin

Even though it's called an eye cream you can use it on targeted spots. Personally, I've been using them on my under eye area and also smile lines. 

Retinol as an ingredient is also known to unclog pores. Since I have milia (little clogged pores that show up as dots) this was my main reason for using this and I really saw quick results. After just a week, my tinier milia disappeared and I do feel that my under eye area has plumped up. 



The slightly slimy feeling at first touch might be a bit off putting to some but honestly there's nothing bad about this

Key Ingredients:
🍄Tremella Mushroom (AKA Snow Fungus) Extract - Rich in phyto (plant-based) collagen
🌿Cica AKA Centella Asiatica - Skincare superstar known for its soothing and its healing properties
🌸Tocopherol - AKA Vitamin E for anti-ageing, moisturising and anti-inflammatory properties
💧Sodium Hyaluronate - AKA Hyaluronic Acid, humectant for hydration
💮Panthenol - Moisturising and wound healing

Key Features:
✅️Alcohol free
✅️Fragrance free
✅️Oil free
✅️Allergen free

💭Thoughts:
I was really excited when Mizon first launched this and I’m so happy I was able to get my hands on this! It took me a while but I eventually realised that Tremella is actually Snow Fungus, an ingredient I love in traditional Chinese desserts! Snow fungus has long been regarded as a natural beauty ingredient because of its high collagen content and one of history’s most beautiful women, Yang Guifei was said to have consumed this regularly for its beautifying properties!

The toner itself is slightly more viscous than water and is slightly slimy at first touch but melts into water and is absorbed quickly and easily. As it glides on my skin, it leaves a cooling sensation and leaves my skin soft and smooth. It’s so hydrating that I don’t even have to layer it twice and even after using it for only two weeks, my skin is visibly plumper and clearer. This is also a great product for those with sensitive skin as it is alcohol, fragrance and oil free so if you’re in the market for a new toner, definitely check this out.

Until January 18 2023, you can get this at 20% off on Yesstyle using my code NICO2804.


Haven't found anything bad about this

Key Ingredients:
🍄White truffle extract
✨️Niacinamide
🌿Ginseng root extract

Key Features:
✅️Fragrance free
☀️Chemical Sunscreen
😎SPF50+ PA++++

💭Thoughts:
I was super excited to get this because not only is it reef friendly, white truffles contain 6x more effective antioxidants than propolis which make this perfect for combating sun exposure and ageing!

This sunscreen is super lightweight and has a nice, cooling effect that instantly relieves my skin from the burning sun. It spreads easily and absorbs quickly (although my video doesn’t do it justice thanks to the extra moisture/seawater making it glide off). I also love the light, dewy finish that doesn’t leave my skin feeling heavy/greasy even after multiple layers of reapplication.

It’s important to note that as this is a chemical sunscreen so while there is no white cast, you should avoid sun exposure until at least 20 minutes after application.


Retinol is a strong ingredient so a lot of precaution is needed. 

Important things to note if you’re new to retinoids:
❗️Be sure to use only 1 pump (or less) in the beginning and you can work your way up to 2 pumps. It’s also best to use this twice a week before increasing the frequency to thrice a week (or more).
‼️Only use this at night and use SPF in the day
❗️Do not mix with AHA/BHA in the same routine (So no salicylic acid or Vitamin C)
❗️Try the sandwich method: Moisturiser - retinol - moisturiser to reduce risk of irritation/dryness
‼️Purging may occur in the beginning and retinol increases cell turnover so pimples/breakouts that might have happened later are coming to the surface now and should stop in a few weeks
❗️Anti-ageing effects may take up to 12 weeks to be visible

Rating: 8/10 (To be updated for long term anti-ageing/pore care properties)

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

Key Ingredients:
🌼300ppm Retinal
🪻10,000ppm Bakuchiol

Key Features:
✅️Alcohol free
✅️Fragrance free
✅️Completed skin irritation tests

💭Thoughts:
As someone who’s used both retinol and bakuchiol, I was really excited to try this as it combines retinal (supposedly stronger than retinol) and bakuchiol, an ingredient widely considered as an alternative to retinol. Retinol is a powerful ingredient which can minimise pores, reduce signs of ageing and moisturise your skin so it’s perfect as a night cream to restore and repair your skin while you sleep.

It has a creamy yellow texture that’s quite solid even at room temperature but it smells sweet and floral It also applies smoothly and my skin absorbs it quickly. However, I'm not complete sold on its moisturising properties at this point and as I’m afraid of irritation, I’ve been using the sandwich method where I apply a base moisturiser before using this retinoid. I personally did not experience any irritation with this as I’m not new to retinoids but there are some rules to follow

❗️Update❗️
After 3 months of regular use (following the skin cycling method) my fine lines especially around the eyes and smile lines are definitely less obvious, at least to me
