Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil

Really very mild and nourishing oil for double cleansing.

I received these products for free from Picky and SKIN1004 in exchange for my honest review, but I cannot get the point why these two products are put in one set. Let me explain. Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil is super effective to dissolve makeup and other deposits on the face. It is mild and calming. BUT, unlike Madagascar Centella Ampoule, it is targeting dryish skin more. The oil's silky feel is too heavy for my oily zones. I will hardly repurchase Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil for myself, yet I will definitely recommend it as a working daily oil for mature or dry skin.

Heimish 5.5 All Clean Green Foam does what it promises, no wonder it has the reputation of iconic mild acidic cleanser. I like it both solo, and as the second step in double cleansing. I may even think of giving it full 10, but at first I want to compare Heimish with BOJ πŸ™ƒ

Today we are going to talk about Liquid Love of 2023: Toners & Mists. And it's the hardest category for me to choose as I have so many specific toners I like for this or that quality. Light Isntree Green Tea Toner, or SKIN1004 Probio-Cica Toner, or Propolis by COSRX. But if I have to stick only to one I will choose the Combu Balancing Ampoule Toner by Kaine. Despite Kaine being a rather new brand on the market, it has recommended itself really well. The Combu Toner has this perfect liquid gel consistency, that is really easy to apply. It is rather strong being enriched with kombucha – fermented tea – extract, combining the properties of green tea and ferments (Isntree Green Tea + SKIN1004 Probio-Cica = Kaine Combu). A marvelous combination for dehydrated textured skin. And the packaging is super stylish! 😍

Speaking again about little miracles of everyday life, I can not but mention my recent unexpected collection with Bellflower Cosmetics β€” a Korean innovative brand. To receive a bundle of upper standard products just to get to know your sincere opinion on them β€” sounds amazing! To tell the truth, I have already been familiar with Bellflower brand, as I had bought their Wrincle crteam before. And even then I was positively surprised by the quality for reasonable price. Red Ginseng 66% Serum is my discovery of the spring. When choosing Ginseng product I prefer to check the actual content properly before using it. And Bellflower Serum can boast 66% Panax Ginseng Root Water. I know, it is not as concentrated as root extract, but still potent enough and my skin just loves it! To be honest, I find Red Ginseng 66% Serum better working than BOJ Ginseng.

πŸ’About packaging: The paper box has the main white tone and the highlight is the blue part printed with the product line name in the middle. In addition, other information is printed on the other sides of the product in both Korean and English. , and what I really like is that the ingredient list is printed very clearly, making it easier for us to learn about the product. The serum bottle inside has a cylindrical design with the lower body made of translucent glass that is very comfortable to touch, the upper part has a squeeze cap like a pipette, I personally find this cap very convenient to use. getting the product and ensuring hygiene. In general, your packaging is quite simple, the feeling of holding it in the hand is very solid and heavy. About the ingredient list: Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Water (81%), Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Water, Betaine, Caprylic/​Capric Triglyceride, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Squalane, Acrylates/​C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Tromethamine, Allantoin, Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, Polyglyceryl-10 Myristate, Disodium EDTA, Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil, Cholesterol, Ceramide NP, Phytosphingosine, Sodium Hyaluronate, Niacinamide Adenosine About the scent of the product: This friend, in my opinion, has a super light scent and is almost odorless, so this is one of the points that I appreciate extremely, if you are sensitive to scents, feel free to use it. dental. πŸ’Feelings before, during and after use: Describe a little bit about your substance, this serum is milky white and has a moderate-liquid consistency, not too thick like some serums but also not as liquid as water and when applied to the skin's surface, it It melts to create a feeling of super cool skin and is absorbed very quickly on the surface of the skin, you will not completely absorb it, but it will create a feeling of moisture as if there is a layer of water wrapped on the skin but it is not heavy or heavy. Since it absorbs very quickly, it will be very suitable for use in that summer. Personally, I use 2 serums in my skincare routine and I usually use this one first and the texture. thin and light, quickly absorbed. Personally, I think it is best used for that morning skincare routine, combined with kahsc skincare products, the effect on my skin is very good, my skin condition is completely reduced. Dry and flaky skin is always so I really like it. πŸ’About the price: This baby serum is currently sold at Bellflower Vietnam's website for 480k / 50ml bottle, this price I think is quite high compared to students, however, the company often has huge sales and the day before, I I don't remember this baby being sold at a price somewhere of 140k which is very cheap. If you have poor skin and dehydration, you should consider this one. Thank you guys for reading this review of mine. I'll see you guys in my next reviews.

To tell the truth, I have already been familiar with Bellflower brand, as I had bought their Wrincle crteam before. And even then I was positively surprised by the quality for reasonable price. But let's return to the product in focus, which aims anti-aging, better skin texture and complexion. As for the difference between red Retinol 0.2% Cream and pink Wrinkle Cream, Retinol 0.2% Cream emphasizes more on Retinol, while Wrinkle Cream is higher on Niacinamide. Both are mild and suitable for beginners.

Sharing my spring-summer retinol cream. It's Bellflower retinol cream for wrinkle care. I'm not sure if it could ever help with real wrinkles, but it suits very well for the purposes of speeding up my epidermis cells turnover and bring deep comedones up to the surface. It might be so that Niacinamide is here to blame. Nevertheless, I see you the results and consider this cream to be a budget variant to keep your skin clear in summer. The percentage of retinol in the formula is not indicated but rather low charging from the pale peachy colour. Yet, the good hydration afterwards is a must, otherwise you will face feelings king on the sensitive areas.

Black Snail Collagen All In One Eye Cream

VERY hydrating.

I received this product for free from Picky and COXIR in exchange for my honest review. My skin never, EVER fully absorbs face creams. I get all shiny and the creams feel sticky throughout the day - and in summer it's a nightmare as they make my face sweat. But this pair of snail creams, i.e. Black Snail Collagen Cream and Black Snail Collagen All In One Eye Cream, work wonders when put on top HaruHaru Wonder black rice toner))) Just a rescue team, if you need hydration this summer 🌞 They both sink wonderfully in the skin and gives a refreshing feeling for a long time. They fully absorb in around 10 minutes (if you have combination to oily skin like me) and aren't shiny once they set!! It will look like you have matte finish whitout putting powder on. And here little truly goes a long way, so they worth the price. Black Snail Collagen All In One Eye Cream, is thicker and not messy at all compared to Black Snail Collagen Cream)))

I received this product for free from Picky and Coxir in exchange for my honest review, however my three stars mean nothing, and I'll explain why. I know, it is my own fault but I read through ingredient list only after receiving this cream for review. To tell the truth, I would never buy the cream containing so much of highly comedogenic oils together with dimethicone for myself. Will be more careful applying for giveaways next time.πŸ™„ For the reason of its contents, I approached this peptide cream very cautiously. My own experience showed, that using it as a night cream and double cleansing the next morning can prevent my oily, acne-prone skin from its tendency to turn oils&silicones into comedones. And you know, the hydration effect of the Coxir cream is strong enough not to be ruined with following double cleansing. I'd say, it's one of the most hydrating creams I have ever tried. So, I decided to read through the ingredient list once again and found out a curious thing: the components of Coxir Intensive EGF Peptide Cream are much alike The Skin House Wrinkle Supreme Cream (except for Coconut oil in the former), but The Skin House costs almost 40% more. πŸ“ Having weighted all pros and cons of the cream my verdict is that this cream is good even for me, and it might be, like the mask from the same line, a holy grail for people with dry skin.
