I have been waiting to talk about this cream with someone for so long! 🤩 Great packaging, no finger diping! 🤩60 ml, enough to last a long time! ⭐ Beta-Glucan, literally one of the best ingredients I have tried in my life, great for all skin types, but if your skin is dry, you will loooove it! ⭐ Niacinamide for some extra love to the skin ⭐Feels lightweight, like a cream-gel hybrid, absorbs fast 🤩 Worked great to heal my eczema flare-up 🌅 Great for applying in the morning, your skin will look glowy, and the sunscreen will apply perfectly, it doesn't dry matte, but it doesnt feel oily either (photo for reference, 15 minutes after applying, no sunscreen) 🌌 Wonderful for applying at night, especially if you are on the oilier side, it will keep your skin hydrated Extra thing I noticed. Beta-Glucan helps the wound healing process so my purging pimples go out in even less time than normal.

Great for hydration and barrier!

Reading the ingredients, all I can say is WOW! This moisturizing serum’s formula is both potent and simple. Out of six ingredients, three are highly beneficial to the skin. The other three ingredients are necessary for the serum formula. Two ingredients have slight active capacities and the third is water. Suffice it to say I’m impressed! Active ingredients: Butylene Glycol - a humectant, slipping agent, and penetration enhancer. This is a multipurpose solvent that I’m always happy to see in my skincare products. Not only does that slippage feel fantastic, the water attracting properties help to keep skin soft and supple. Beta-Glucan - an intensive skin repairing active that heals wounds, soothes skin, moisturizes, and reduces fine lines and wrinkles in concentrations as low as 0.1%! Interestingly, as a food, it also has benefits: it works to assist diabetes, lowers cholesterol levels, and even helps to fight cancer. I don’t know if I want a plate to eat or a bowl to immerse my face! Sodium PCA (Pyrrolidone Carboxylic Acid) is a skin-identical ingredient found naturally in the skin. It’s an amino acid (proline) that comprises up to 12% of the skin’s natural moisturizing factors. When used in concentrations of 2% or more in skincare, it’s a great moisturizer that helps the skin to hold onto water and stay nicely hydrated, with both immediate and therapeutic benefits. What I love about this serum is its simplicity. It can be used/layered with virtually any other skincare products, and its benefits sun still be realized.

I received this product for free from Picky and Isntree in exchange for my honest review. So let's get to it. (💓Scroll down for the review on extended usage) The First Contact ( ˘ ³˘)♥Packaging •Love the straightforward,simplified look. •Just like the cream version, it doesn't come with a hygiene seal •Comes in a squeezable translucent bottle (cream : white cap, gel : blue cap) ( ˘ ³˘)♥Ingredients Δ Contains 8 types of hyaluronic acid well I would like to type all of them, but you got the point Δ Also I'm excited to see ceramide NP among all the other ingredients. Δ A chemical sunscreen Δ Claims: Replenishes moisture (on point) No whitecast (on point) 8 types of hyaluronic acid (hydrating, check√) = ̄ω ̄= Impression > SO HYDRATING!!! I've tried gel type sunscreens before but most of them would include menthol to give the 'cooling' sensation but not this. In fact, it feels like you're putting on a serum (based on the instant hydrated feel + how it seamlessly sinks in your skin and leave a glowy finish) > Stickiness : mild >As its a gel formula, its expected to not leave a white cast and be waterproof too. >Doesn't cause piling of products (depends on your moisturizer too, I've tried this with gel cream and gel moisturizer and it works fine.) >Have a really really mild, soothing scent (almost zero actually) Thoughts Definitely worth the hype ♥♥♥ Little goes along the way so be careful not to lather extra product or you'll end up looking like you've sweated a lot. I definitely enjoyed the cream formula better than this one due to how moisturized it made my skin felt. Recomending this to those with sensitive skin or having oily skin or just trying out chemical filters or those who have fear of physical filters. Definitely a beginner -friendly product that you'll regret if you haven't tried it out in your life. (ノ*>∀<)ノ♡ The Fateful Chance I received Isntree's sungel for free (4ea) from Picky and Isntree in exchange for my honest review about using this product for en extended time. Test period 61 consecutive days-ish ( could be more, I've lost count) 𝒲𝒽𝒶𝓉 𝓂𝒶𝓀𝑒𝓈 𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓈 𝒶 𝑔𝓇𝑒𝒶𝓉 𝓈𝓊𝓃 𝓅𝓇𝑜𝒹𝓊𝒸𝓉 𝒻𝑜𝓇 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝓁𝑜𝓃𝑔 𝓇𝓊𝓃? After using this again and again, repeatedly, 1) My skin tone evens out 2) No more dry feeling felt(no extra grease on my T-zone) 3) Gentle formula, no teary-eyes 4) delivers great result in skin 5) settles in flawlessly due to having no whitecast and almost to zero greasy feeling. 6) no clogged pores, no acne ( everytime I wear sungel, I make sure to double cleanse as well) 7) Impove skin's oil balance. So yes, I'll say A BIG FAT YES to this HOLY GRAIL. And I am super mad because I'll have a hard time to find another sun product that could match this kind of result.

Macadamia Balancing & Moisture Double Deep Cleansing Oil

A thick oil for double cleanse. My skin took some time to adjust since it had some citrus oil but everything else is great. The conpositions are also quite amazing since theres so many oils involve . Macadamia oil alone is 20%!

×××disclaimer : this is not endorsed or sponsored by any side. It is self purchased.×××× Been using this for almost maximized its pao date. I love skincare that uses ingredients that is similar to its name. This cleansing oil from kundal comprised of 24 ingredients. But 20 of them are oils! The top ingredient is macadamia seed oil which takes 20% of the majority oils. So, you can imagine how thicc the consistency is. It removes makeup quite easily. Though I really wish citrus-based oils dont make it to the list since apart from smelling good, it just make my skin irritated. Luckily it came in smaller percentage since my skin dont really get irritated every time I use this. Method : draw a pump ot two, rub in the hands for a bit to warm it up and rub all the makeup stains away gently for about 1-2 minutes. I have tried longer to try removing blackhead but only to realize I dont have blackhead and the extra rubbing and tugging the skin makes my skin red with anger.

This cream was formulated for those with dry, irritated and damaged skin. It contains 5% D-Panthenol which has a higher penetration level compared to regular Panthenol for deeper hydration ✨ It also has 0.5% Beta-Sitosterol that is another great moisturizing ingredient that helps strengthen and repair the skin barrier! I love the texture of this cream! It's a bit heavier than a gel-type product but still's on the lighter side. Has great absorption and gives that glazed look to the skin when applied. It's not sticky and after a few minutes it settles with a matte finish. It has a mild sweet aroma that I personally like and enjoy! 💙 I like to use this as a night mask, specially on the drier patches of my skin. I highly recommend this as it is an affordable and effective option for damaged skin barrier! Plus it's vegan! 🌱🫶

I received this product for free from Picky and MISE EN SCENE in exchange for my honest review. I love how the nozzle locks into place so that there are no spills. Each bottle contains 2.7 fluid ounces. I have dry, very curly, coily, and frizzy natural hair. It usually takes a ton of product to keep my natural curls under control. This Perfect Serum was a treat! My curls soaked the product right in. It left my curls tame and touchable soft. It is a thin serum oil texture. It has a light pretty floral scent that I found to not be too much at all. Recently I used a product that damaged my hair so badly that I lost half my head of hair. I have been in the process of healing my hair in hopes that I will have the length back one day. It was a relief to try a product that focuses on hair that has been damaged. I applied on my hair directly after my shower and touched up with a little extra after it had dried to give it a little shine. I love all the oils in this product: Argan, Jojoba, Coconut, Apricot and Olive.This serum really provides great hydration for your locks. This is a great product for all hair types! You can use as little or as much as you need for your hair type’s best result. This serum is incredibly affordable. I would love to try other products from this brand. @go.picky @pickyrewards @miseenscene.official #pickyreview #gopicky #miseenscene #perfecthair
