Some users here seriously just comment/review for the sake of earning points. I noticed this since the COSRX 3000 giveaway. Some users literally comment nonsense things from someone’s discussion who’s genuinely asking for help. 

I saw a post here about someone “reviewing” a product without even trying it. Seriously? Abusing the app? 

Picky should seriously ban these kind of users.

For the sake of points

I can't stress enough how great Centella is and made wonders to my skin! Not to be exaggerated but I really can't imagine my routine without using any product with Centella in it. 

Last year, I discovered Glow Monster Centella Essence + Niacinamide, my HOLY GRAIL and this product introduced me to Centella Asiatica. 

Centella literally saved my skin from a lot of skin issues like severe breakout, dehydration and hyperpigmentation because its other active ingredient; Asiaticoside, Madecassic, and Asiatic Acid  helps to balance sebum, strengthen and repair skin barrier. 

This also has everyone's favorite ingredient, Niacinamide to even out the skin tone since 2% of it has been found to be super effective for hyperpigmentation and help stimulate synthesis of free fatty acid, cholesterol, and ceramide.

Centella Asiatica = Skin Saver!

How do you guys repurpose your skincare products that didn’t work with your skin?

Cleansers - I use it as a body wash.

Creams - I use it as a foot cream or hand cream. 

Brightening Serums - I use it on my elbow and knee.

Repurposing Skincare

What’s that one product that everybody seems to love but your skin says “hell nah”? 

I’ll go first ⬇️

Holy Grail? Not for me

Hello! Any experience with the brand and their products?

L’essential: Worth it or nah?

𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗗𝗨𝗖𝗧 𝗗𝗘𝗧𝗔𝗜𝗟:
𝗔𝗟𝗢𝗘 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗣𝗢𝗟𝗜𝗦 𝗦𝗢𝗢𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗚𝗘𝗟 contains 𝟳𝟵.𝟲% 𝗔𝗹𝗼𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗳 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 that&#39;s rich in antioxidants and vitamins that may help protect the skin from certain skin conditions. It contains Polysaccharides that&#39;re responsible for the skin’s natural ability to hydrate and retain water. It also prevents bacteria build-up that is the main cause of pimples and acne, and it also speeds up the healing process.

It has 𝟭𝟬% 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘀 𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁, known for its soothing properties that speeds up the healing process by creating a healthy barrier for the skin. It helps to fight and prevent acne due to its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. 

It also contains 𝗖𝘂𝗰𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁, known for its astringent properties to help clear the pores by balancing sebum production and reducing signs of ageing. 

𝗧𝗘𝗫𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘:
- Fresh finish without stickiness
- Gel type but very hydrating
- Has faint Propolis scent
- High spreadabilty
- Absorbs quickly

𝗘𝗫𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗜𝗘𝗡𝗖𝗘:
One of the things I like about using this Aloe Propolis Soothing Gel as a moisturizing gel is it doesn’t leave a greasy film on the face and the skin unlike ordinary moisturizers. Although this soothing gel is very moisturizing and hydrating, I still layer on a heavier moisturizer on top (Aloe Hyaluron Cream) as soothing gels normally don&#39;t have occlusive ingredients in them that prevents the skin from Transepidermal Water Loss.

The combination of Aloe Vera and Propolis Extract in this soothing gel are both an excellent ingredient that  soothes, moisturize and brighten my complexion. Overall, this is a great soothing gel that has a cooling effect to help calm down irritations, revitalize, and gently soothe delicate areas of skin. Highly recommended for all skin types especially for oily and sensitive skin.

𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗘: 𝟱&#47;𝟱

I think my only concern is how COSRX marketed it as an &quot;Oil-free&quot; even with some lemon peel and tea tree oil towards the end of ingredient list. You would immediately smell it upon applying but my skin normally don&#39;t react or have any sensitivity with these but it would&#39;ve been perfect without it.

This is formulated with 70.8% Birch Sap, which is a very hydrating ingredient that can benefit all skin types especially acne prone skin since this is also formulated with tea tree oil that helps with acne, and some soothing and skin conditioning ingredients like allantoin and panthenol. The best thing about this lotion is it  helped rebuild my damaged skin barrier when I used&#47;mixed too much actives.

𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗗𝗨𝗖𝗧 𝗗𝗘𝗧𝗔𝗜𝗟:
This mild Micellar Cleansing Oil cleanses away all skin impurities, makeup, and sunscreen without leaving behind any greasy, sticky, or heavy feeling on the skin. Enriched with soothing ingredients, gentle surfactants and oils to deeply cleanse the skin.

𝗡𝗲𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗻 uses 𝗜𝘀𝗼𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗽𝘆𝗹 𝗣𝗮𝗹𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 and 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗿𝘆𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗹𝘆𝗴𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗲 as main oils and 𝗣𝗘𝗚-𝟮 𝗚𝗹𝘆𝗰𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗹 𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗶𝘀𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 as gentle surfactants. 

This also contains various plant oils like 𝗢𝗹𝗲𝗮 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗮𝗲𝗮 (𝗢𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲) 𝗙𝗿𝘂𝗶𝘁 𝗢𝗶𝗹, which is full of fatty acids to protect the skin from environmental damage as well as skin ageing. 𝗚𝗹𝘆𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗦𝗼𝗷𝗮 (𝗦𝗼𝘆𝗯𝗲𝗮𝗻) 𝗢𝗶𝗹 is packed with vitamin E, which has antioxidant properties and softens rough skin. 

𝗧𝗘𝗫𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘: 
It has a very thin and runny, almost like watery consistency with a non-sticky texture. This glides across my skin with ease and deeply removes excess sebum, sunscreen, and other impurities from my skin with a soothing effect at the same time. 

This doesn&#39;t emulsify well when mixed with water but it is easy to rinse off and doesn&#39;t leave residue.

𝗘𝗫𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗜𝗘𝗡𝗖𝗘:
I haven&#39;t really tried many cleansing balms&#47;oils but I feel like this is the best first cleanser among all of them. I usually use a full pump of this and it is pretty easy to spread on the face and it&#39;s enough to remove impurities on my skin without the need to rub too hard.

I sometimes use this to massage my face since lightweight oils work better on dry skin than thicker formulas but I&#39;d say that this oil should also work well with every skin type including the sensitive skin. 

𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗘: 𝟱&#47;𝟱
I&#39;m really impressed with how well this cleanser washes off. I have tried some that leaves a bit of residue because of it&#39;s odd consistency but this one leaves absolutely no residue and my skin is left feeling soft, hydrated and refreshed. I&#39;m happy that I was able to find an oil which really makes cleansing even more enjoyable so I would highly recommend this!

Tea Tree can be a little sensitizing so this may not be the best toner if you’ve completely ruined your skin barrier or are still recovering from a breakout

𝗞𝗘𝗬 𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗥𝗘𝗗𝗜𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗦:
Tea Tree Leaf Water
Centella Asiatica Leaf Water
Centella Asiatica Extract
Niacinamide

𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗗𝗨𝗖𝗧 𝗗𝗘𝗧𝗔𝗜𝗟:
This toner is filled with 𝟲𝟳% 𝗧𝗲𝗮 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗳 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 which has been used widely around the world for its anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties and 𝟭𝟵.𝟱% 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗮 𝗔𝘀𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 from cultivated clary plants that relieves skin irritation with its healing properties.

It contains 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝟲 𝗦𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘅 (Broccoli, Alfalfa, Cabbage, Wheat, Rapeseed, Radish) 6,000ppm to nourish the skin with vitamins, minerals and enzymes for a healthy and nourished complexion. 

This also has skin brightening ingredients like 𝗡𝗶𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗱𝗲, 𝗟𝗶𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗥𝗼𝗼𝘁 𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁 and 𝗔𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲 to improve appearance of wrinkle, skin firmness and elasticity

𝗧𝗘𝗫𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘:
Has a very watery texture. Also has a very faint tea tree scent.

𝗘𝗫𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗜𝗘𝗡𝗖𝗘:
I started using this toner when I had a couple of pimples on my jaw area and I was surprised with how this toner helped calm down the redness and dried the pimples within 2-3 days. My skin easily leaves dark spots when the acne dries&#47;heals but this toner helped prevent it from happening.

I transferred this to a spray bottle so I can easily layer without worrying about it spilling when I pour some on my palm. 

As far as I know, Tea Tree is a natural form of astringent but this surprisingly hydrates and moisturizes my skin without leaving a sticky or tacky feeling. 

𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗘: 𝟰&#47;𝟱

𝗙𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗟 𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗗𝗜𝗖𝗧:
This is a good toner to incorporate into your daily routine if you’re suffering from blemishes, breakouts, oily or acne-prone skin.

No bad experience at all but would only recommend to oily skin types since it may be too stripping for normal&#47;dry skin type

𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗗𝗨𝗖𝗧 𝗗𝗘𝗧𝗔𝗜𝗟:
This cleansing foam is formulated to thoroughly remove impurities while ensuring the skin is nourished and moisturized. Its gentle, hypoallergenic formula balances skin’s pH levels and doesn’t strip skin off its natural oils.

𝗞𝗘𝗬 𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗥𝗘𝗗𝗜𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗦:
𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗧𝗲𝗮 – is a potent antioxidant with skin-soothing and anti-aging properties. It’s a perfect ingredient for any skin type and is well loved by people with aging or irritated skin.

𝗝𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗮 𝗦𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗢𝗶𝗹 – is an extremely hydrating, calming oil with a very similar texture to our natural sebum. It’s perfect to hydrate without any risk of blocking pores.

𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗮 𝗔𝘀𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮 – is a powerhouse extract that helps improve hydration, texture and create a stronger protective barrier of the skin. Excellent at calming irritated or damaged skin while it encourages healing.

𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗳 – is an amazing plant extract with soothing and protective properties. Full of antioxidants and flavonoids to protect the skin and improve the overall health of the skin.

𝗤𝗨𝗜𝗖𝗞 𝗥𝗘𝗩𝗜𝗘𝗪:
- It has a runny and creamy consistency
- A little goes a long way and lathers easily upon contact with water
- Has a faint Green Tea and Rosemary Oil scent
- It&#39;s nice that it can remove layers of sunscreen
- Also great for gentle exfoliation since it contains 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘀
- It gives a squeaky clean feeling after rinsing but isn&#39;t really drying or overly stripping
- I&#39;m pretty picky with cleansers and I usually avoid foaming cleansers but for me, this is a pretty decent cheap and basic cleanser that does the job without irritating the skin
