Hello. Does anyone know what’s the “graduation cap” badge next to some users profile photo is about?

Graduation Cap Bagde

I wish there was a way we can check brands names by country, so we can support local buisnesses and try new brands, maybe ones we haven’t tried or/ and heard of before.

Hello guys, I won 2 giveaways recently. And I have a couple of questions, should my review be only here on Picky or also on Instagram? And what should my review contain specifically?

Help!!

I received this product for free from SKIN1004 and Picky in exchange for my honest review.

🌱 SKIN1004 - Madagascar Centella Probio-Cica Intensive Ampoule (95ml/ 3.21 fl.oz.)

This product retails for: 30$

Key Ingredients:
✨ Lactobacillus/Centella Asiatica Extract Ferment Filtrate – Probiotic-derived complex that strengthens the skin barrier.
✨ Centella Asiatica Extract – Supports collagen synthesis, wound healing, and skin regeneration; soothes and protects against free radicals.
✨ Madecassic Acid, Asiaticoside – Soothing components of Centella Asiatica.
✨ Ceramide NP – Strengthens the skin barrier.

✍🏼 
This ampoule has a beautifully milky and slightly gooey texture that absorbs effortlessly, leaving my skin smooth and glowing without any sticky residue. The combination of fermented Madagascan Centella and TECA works wonders for calming my skin, especially when it’s feeling irritated. I also appreciate the ceramide-rich formula, which helps strengthen my skin barrier while locking in moisture with a perfect balance of ceramide, phytosterol, and fatty acids. It feels lightweight yet deeply nourishing, making my skin look healthier and more radiant.

The scent is quite strong, which may not be ideal for those with sensitive skin.

I received this product for free from Picky and Centellian24 in exchange for my honest review.

🌱 Centellian24 - Madeca Derma Shield Safe Sun Essence SPF50+ PA++++ (40ml/ 1.35 fl.oz.)

This product retails for: 25$

Key Ingredients:
✨ Centella Asiatica Extract - Renowned for its soothing and healing properties, this extract helps calm irritation and strengthens the skin barrier.
✨ Hyaluronic Acid - A potent humectant that attracts and retains moisture, ensuring the skin remains hydrated and plump.
✨ Niacinamide - Aids in brightening the skin tone, reducing hyperpigmentation, and smoothing fine lines.
✨ Chemical Sunscreen Agents - Ingredients like Homosalate absorb UV radiation, preventing it from penetrating the skin.

✍🏼 
The texture of this sunscreen is quite unusual. Even after thorough shaking, it appears separated rather than homogeneous, resembling spoiled milk.
On a positive note, it does not leave a white cast, and the finish is very radiant— which some may appreciate. However, for my personal preference, the glow is too intense for facial use, so I will be using it as a body sunscreen instead.

My only minor complaint is the smell. The cleanser is fragrance-free but it has a minty-like medicinal scent. I don’t find the scent to be off-putting, but It’s not for everyone.
Keep in mind this product might be too harsh, if used with retinoids or other strong exfoliants.

I received this PURE’AM Amino Acid Mild Cleanser for free from Picky and PURE’AM in exchange for my honest review.

✨ Claims:
- Clean clogged pores, 
- Control oil, 
- Exfoliate dead skin cells, 
- Restore pH balance.

Personally, it is a good salicylic acid cleanser that leaves my face feeling fresh. 
The cleanser has a creamy micro-foaming texture, and I find it very gentle. It exfoliates and removes impurities without stripping my skin barrier.
And I noticed I have less redness on my face, and that’s because of tea tree leaves know from their anti-inflammatory properties.
