IUNIK CALENDULA COMPLETE CLEANSING OIL [PR]💛🤍 Today,I'll be sharing my first impressions on this cleansing oil from @iunik_official .They kindly sent this to me to review! 🥰 🔍According to the brand,it's a deep cleansing oil infused with 94-percent plant oils,as well as calendula flower extract to remove all traces of makeup and impurities, while leaving the skin feeling soothed and moisturized.Offers deep cleansing effect with effective pore care to remove makeup remnants and blackheads for clean, smooth skin express. 📌KEY INGREDIENTS : Sunflower seed oil,Canola oil etc. 🍯TEXTURE: It's a medium weight oil.I won't say it's the lightest I've tried but it doesn't feel heavy either. 🍵SCENT: Umm I'm not sure but I think it smells like canola oil (I'm not good at describing scents😂) ⚡EXPERIENCE: It removes makeup well.It emulsifies nicely and washes off well too.Thus,I feel like I don't need another second cleanser to use BUT I do use my 2nd cleanser😂 because I think it's ideal to use your regular cleanser after a cleansing oil to avoid any clogged pores or breakout issue. Based on my first impressions,I'll give it 5/5 👏🏽 PR exchange for honest review #kbeauty #koreanskincare #koreanskincareproducts #kbeautyreview #koreanskincarereview #kbeautycommunity #iunik #cleansingoil #iunikcleansingoil #doublecleansing #kbeautyaddict #skincare #skincareroutine #skincareroutines #skincareproducts #skincarereview #skincarereviews #skincareaddict #skincarebd #skincarecommunity

I have been suffering from blackheads for a long time now and tried various methods to get rid of it. Physical exfoliation didn't give me the expected results. That's when I came across this product. I use this twice per week. I had to wait for more than a month to see any visible results. Other than Blackheads it also helped to mildly exfoliate my skin and clean my pores.

Dewyfication


Oily/Sensitive

I saw a slightly difference in my already existent spots (mostly PIE), but I did not see new marks while using it, so I feel like it does a better work preventing them rather than treating them. The best part of this product -and the thing I noticed the most- was how bright and dewy my skin looked after using it. It’s a 3 star product since that’s the “worth trying” rank, and I really think it’s worth to, specially if you are looking for something to boost your skin brightnes and fade some superficial marks. Targeted Problems: Hiperpigmentation, PIE, dull skin. Key Ingredients: ✨82.37% Citrus Junos Fruit Extract. ✨5% Niacinamide ✨Licorice Root ✨Arbutin The texture: It’s a super light weight gel like texture, it absorbs very quickly and feels slightly tacky afterwards (that feeling goes away with my moisturiser). Fragance: It has a heavy lemon/tangerine scent but I did not feel it after applied, in any case, if you don’t like heavily fragance skincare you should probably skip this one. Packaging: It’s a hard-plastic bottle with a yellow pump, it works well but feels kinda cheap since it’s not made of glass (it’s a personal prefference).

Cicapair Tiger Grass Calming Gel Cream - 2019 New formula

Soothes redness and strengthens the skin barrier.

Oily/Sensitive

Very good calming cream. I requested a sample in Sephora to give it a try as I was very interested in it. I used it as last step of the routine prior to moisturizer. I think the feel is amazing and it helps a lot with active acne, to recover the skin from the inflammation and the damage. I also feel it would be an amazing balm for sunburn. I like the smell, the gel texture, how quick it absorbs into the skin and it leaves no sticky feeling. Also, with a pea size you can cover all your face, it spreads so well into the skin. Also, I have to warn you it's NOT A MOISTURIZER, so you should use a moisturizer after it. It's the perfect complement for damaged skin or when you are undergoing skin treatment or using acids in your routine (I used salicylic acid and glycolic acid) Really good investment, worth every cent spent, but when used it in the right way.

Relief Sun Rice + Probiotics SPF50+ PA++++

Lightweight and hydrating.

Dry/Sensitive

I received this sunscreen in a 50ml squeeze tube containing a white cream without any noticeable scent. 🌱KEY INGREDIENTS Rice Extract +Grain Fermented Extract Coconut Fruit Extract Panax Ginseng Root Extact Probiotics SPF50 EXPERIENCE - Upon receiving, I found the petite squeezable tube very convenient unlike most larger size sunscreens which are near to impossible to fit in my crossbody. As I applied the sunscreen, I was pleasantly surprised as to how quickly it blended without leaving behind a white cast. The silky smooth cream felt as if it melted into my skin leaving not only a very hydrating feel but a nice glow as well. I was so relieved to find that it's very gentle on my sensitive skin without experiencing any signs of irritation. I really enjoy using this sunscreen and the SPF50 makes it even more desirable. Highly Recommend!!

Oily/Sensitive

I gave the Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum a go because, let’s be real, my under-eyes have been looking like they pulled an all-nighter—without the fun. With ginseng (anti-aging gold) and retinal (a gentler cousin of retinol), this sounded like the superhero my tired eyes needed. But is it all glow and no go? Let’s break it down. What’s Good? (The Bright Side) 1. Hydration Station First things first, this serum is super hydrating. My under-eyes went from looking like dried-out parchment paper to soft and bouncy skin. That’s the magic of ginseng doing its thing, leaving your skin plump and nourished. 2. Gentle Retinal? Yes, Please! Retinal has a reputation for being harsh, but this formula is surprisingly gentle. No stinging, no peeling—just smooth application and a comforting feel. Perfect for first-timers or anyone with sensitive skin. 3. Dark Circle Slayer While it’s not a miracle worker, it noticeably reduces the appearance of dark circles over time. Pair it with some decent sleep, and you’ll look refreshed enough to fool anyone into thinking you’re a morning person. 4. Light and Layerable The serum has a silky, lightweight texture that absorbs quickly. No greasy residue, no waiting around before your next skincare step. And yes, it layers beautifully under concealer without causing any weird pilling. 5. Bang for Your Buck Let’s talk price: this is a K-beauty gem that delivers quality without robbing your wallet. High-end vibes on a budget—what’s not to love?
