A cleansing oil that's enriched with 94% natural oils from 6 different plants to melt down makeup and sunscreen. It's a thicker oil that comes in a 200ml bottle and a big pump to dispense the product. The oil has a strong calendula scent which doesn't bother me at all and makes the experience a nice one. I mostly use 1,5 to 2 full pumps of oil to use on my face and neck. I had been eyeing this oil cleanser for quite some time and I don't regret trying it! It is a nice oil to remove makeup and spf, moreso if it's non-waterproof. I feel it doing a good job in removing gently without irritating or drying out my skin I could see the scent being too strong for some but I really like it! I'd re-purchase if they changed the pump!

Madagascar Centella Tone Brightening Cleansing Gel Foam

A gel cleanser which gently cleanses and yet does not dry out the skin of its natural moisture.

This is another fave of mine, the Madagascar Centella Tone Brightening Cleansing Gel Foam from @skin1004official 😍😍😍 This is quite a surprise for me because it evens my skin tone. As 64-year-old, my skin tone and texture are not even anymore, so this helped a lot. I use this for my morning and evening routine. I love this. 😍 #myskin1004fave #pickyskin1004

[Review of SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule by Destina Wahyuni] Honestly, I already have this Ampoule with the largest size, but it still contains half left because I use it every day. Luckily I got another one from Picky with this 55ml content. Thank you so much Picky, you understand me so much😭❤️ 👀First impressions: This ampoule is packaged in a clear colored glass bottle and the applicator is very sturdy and long. I could say, it pulls out the ampoule very well. On the inside of the bottle there is a picture of the island of Madagascar which is really nice to look at according to the brand concept that Centella is the main ingredient taken from Madagascar. 🍃Texture and ingredients: The texture is very watery, mild and easy to absorb quickly into the layers of the skin. Even though it is easily absorbed, the ampoule really moisturizes the entire face and it’s gentle on the skin and it’s good for sensitive skin. The hero ingredient contained is 🌿Centella Asiatica extract which is the main ingredient of this Ampoule. ✨Skin results: Because Centella Asiatica is believed to be able to soothe and moisturize sensitive skin. I said yes for this Ampoule. Because I have Redness, PIE, PIH, Hyperpigmentation, my skin problems are solved thanks to this Ampoule. Redness and PIE are reduced. In addition, the Ampoule is able to strengthen the skin barrier! I really noticed that my previous skin barrier wasn't as good as it is now, so it's getting better and made my skincare routine work really well on my skin. I highly recommend this Ampoule to anyone with sensitive and acne-prone skin, it will suit your skin. Because this ampoule can also be a savior when my skin is inflamed due to acne or stubborn acne, just drop this for a few days, the progress will be seen quickly, the pimple becomes flat and doesn't leave a mark. I really like this, it's even my HOLY GRAIL which I must have this year. Good job SKIN1004!!!❤️ *Disclaimer: results may vary according to your skin type, because I have sensitive skin which tends to be acne prone. Rate: 5 of 5 scale⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Price: $19.98/55ml 📌@go.picky @pickyrewards @skin1004official #pickyreview #gopicky #SKIN1004picky

Summary: Lightweight hydrating eye cream that didn't irritate my skin and managed to de-puff my eye area. Details: Before I tried this I thought eye creams are just glorified moisturisers to be very honest. But this one actually proved me wrong! Within one week my eye area was less puffy and I actually looked less tired, which is a miracle in itself. The eye cream itself has a light watery texture without any noticeable smell. It glides onto the skin and easily absorbs. Since it's fragrance and alcohol free I found it not irritating at all. Thanks to the propanediol and other hydrating ingredients I actually found it particularly nice to apply. The Inkey List as a company is cruelty free. This product contains beeswax and is therefore not vegan.

Cicanoid Retinal Cream

An effective formulation that works beautifully. I have been a consistent retinol user and so switching into this Retinal cream easily. It did not irritate my skin and actually helped my skin in many ways.

Oily/Sensitive

Everyone refers to this as a retinol cream, but it's actually a RETINAL cream. Retinal is more potent than retinol and it requires only one step to convert to retinoic acid in the skin. (retinol requires 2 steps). The formula contains 0.05% retinal (% that's proved to be effective), 0.05 bakuchiol and 0.001 ppm Retinol which translates to 0.000001% retinol (no significant effect). An emollient cream that’s a bit on the greasy side, but has great spreadability without being thick or heavy. Also, it’s non-sticky. It won't be very pleasant for oily skin. In terms of effect, I have to say the biggest difference I’ve noticed so far is smoother texture and improved skin tone. To notice any real change in reducing fine lines/wrinkles, it has to be used consistently for a very long time, so I’m patient about that part.

This beloved product was reformulated and I heard mixed opinions. Some ingredients were removed, and many new ones were added. Some of the new ingredients are: corn starch, centella leaf extract, lactobacillus, vitamin E and vitreoscilla ferment. Corn starch is added to reduce shine but it is still very dewy on me. The new texture is more silky, but still nourishing as before. I have combo skin and I like this new version. I won't be using this in my AM routine because it is to dewy for me. For nighttime is perfect, especially for colder days. It is effective as previous version.

As you guys know or guess – I am a sucker for korean skincare. Couple of days ago the first physical shop of The Little Wonderland opened its doors in Utrecht, and of course I had to drive to have a look at it and posted stories on my insta, hello ladies, who’ve seen it! :) Anyways, so it’s the first physical shop that they opened in Netherlands, it is nice and relatively big with a nice variety of products that you can come and test there – all the structures, all the creams, serums, cleansers and spf – paradise for a skincare junkie 😅 In the end we got little goodie bags, so the most impressive item there was a sample of mugwort’s mask, which of course I had to test on me and my hubby. Cats stayed out of it for some unknown cat business 🤔 I am already familiar with I’m from, and with the Mugwort line, I have their essence and will write a review sooner or later :) So this mask contains as understood – mugwort from Ganghwa island. The structure is gel like and the active ingredients of the plant extracts are not only cleaning and calming skin but also serve as a bit of a peeling when you wash it off. So, what the hell is mugwort? 🧚🏼‍♀️ it’s a great ingredient known in korean medicine, I mean, how many people knew about centella asiatica benefits before South Korean brought it to us? The same with mugwort – I don’t want to talk on behalf of everyone – but myself, never seen mugwort in skincare before. It soothers and heals the skin and has antibacterial properties. It is very user friendly for anyone with sensitive skin. Also we have greet tea with basically the same properties and scutellaria baicalensis – herbal medicine from China – has anti fungal properties, so all your in skin comedones, long lasting painful pimples wave them goodbye 🙋‍♀️ and has skinbrightening effect in the long run. Basically the mask is packed with the goodies and the price of 110 grams is about 28-30 euro. I think on sale you can get it cheaper and I’d say it’s totally worth the money!

Ginseng is a vital herbal ingredient that has been used for a long time for body and skin health in Korean history. The BOJ Ginseng Essence Water contains 80% of ginseng water and focuses on the benefits of ginseng which is said to be rich in antioxidants that combat damage from free radicals that can cause premature aging. It promotes circulation and collagen production to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and brighten skin. Ginseng is also anti-inflammatory, which provides calming effects. Also contains 2% Niacinamide. I was looking forward to trying this product because of many good reviews on the internet. It comes in a pretty, frosted 150ml bottle. The product itself and packaging are so pretty ❤️ The texture is very watery (need to be more careful with getting the product out and onto the skin), thus making it easy to layer 2-3 times for me and hydrating my skin. It smells like ginseng and the scent is not too strong which I like My sensitive skin hasn't reacted to this so I can recommend trying it; I'd say this is suited for combination to oily skin types more. Update: I have come to like this better than the initial start and it has become a staple in my routine. It went from a 3 to a 3,5 for me because it's nicer than the first week of trying. Still haven't noticed it having any visible effects and I'm through with the whole bottle now, so it wasn't as promising as i had hoped when I bought it after seeing so many positive reviews
