Products that didn't work for me

Here is a list of products that I regret buying since they didn't work for me or my skin reacted to it. This is based on my personal experience and so some of these products can definitely be some one else's holy grail. Do let me know if you guys loved it shared my opinion on any of them!

Drying Lotion

This just dried out my skin and did nothing for my pimple. It also needed some scrubbing to come off.

Vitaronic Gel Cream

I really wanted to love this product and gave it a second chance but this broke me out twice.

1. The gel texture is really lovely, its spreads and applies well without any sticky feeling. 2. It's quite affordable for the quantity and it's a bonus if you can get it at a discount. 3. It should be great for oily-combination skin during the summer.

Rice Water Bright Light Cleansing Oil

Though the texture is light, I felt it did not emulsify well and left a residue behind. No i know that you double cleanse but I still did not like the feeling it not going away after it emulsion.

A good cleansing oil. If you are the type of person that hates the heavy, oily feeling or if you are scared about trying a cleansing oil because you feel like they may not be for your skin, this one could be for you. The texture of this oil is very light - not quite like water, but close enough that you’ll be surprised. It works well when it comes to the cleansing aspect - spreads easily over the skin, removes makeup and sunscreen without a problem. It emulsifies well and you can wash it off nicely. It doesn’t leave a heavy, oily residue behind. It is also quite affordable comparing to other k and j beauty cleansing oils πŸ₯°

AC Collection Ultimate Spot Cream

This just didn't do anything for me. I prefer the centella blemish cream and the pimple patches over this.

This would be my other favorite in the collection and I highly recommend it. It has no stings and works well on drying out active pimples. I used it as a spot treatment overnight, and in the morning my pimples look a lot better. Last week, I got hormonal acne before my menstruation, and this saved me from the frustration and stress caused by my acne.

Blueberry Rebalancing Lotion

I enjoyed the rest of the products from the blueberry line except this one. This one gave me comodones. This worked for my mother who has normal skin type.

It's really good for my skin. I'm from a all year summer country, Malaysia. Although it mentioned it's suitable for autumn and winter, it is gentle to skin and moisturizing. Another thing is the price very suitable for students who need a moisturizing product.

This oil cleanser is the best for the first cleansing step when you have makeup on ! it is not like other oils that are very difficult to remove and residues remain. I highly recommend it!

It's biggest con is that it's too drying for the skin rather than the pimple πŸ˜‚
