[Top 3 Picks] May’s Empties

Love hoarding my empties hehe. It's a great way to review items as well. Here are my empties so far. Jumiso Pore-Rest PHA9 Deep Purifying Facial Toner - I mainly used this to cleanse my face in the morning. While this does contain PHA I found that the exofliating properties were quite mild which is great for an everyday toner. In the end, I wasn't blown away by it so I probably wouldn't repurchase. TIAM My Signature C Source - This is a Vitamin C serum that contains 20% Vitamin C. I'm more used to deratives as they don't oxidize much or at all but decided to pick this up since it was on sale. It was already oxidized when I opened it but I did have it for a few months before opening it. Unfortunately I didn't realize you had to place it in the fridge. But it was still a pleasant experience. It absorbed pretty quickly into my skin, thanks to the alcohol and the scent was light and pleasant. It dry down somewhat tacky though. While it is affordable I would have to pass on this since it did oxidize so quickly. Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun : Rice + Probiotics - this is a current cult favourite it seems. It terms of the popular Korean chemical SPFs out there I do enjoy this one more. Simply because during reapplication it actually helps absorbs the excess grease and oil on my skin. Would repurchase but I have a bajillion other sunscreens to try. Differin Gel - great starter retinoid for anyone in the US that has acne. It's proven to help treat acne but it's not as strong as tretinoin. I used this up on my body since I do use tretinoin prescribed by a dermatologist now. 5% Benzoyl Peroxide Gel - I feel like anyone with acne should have this in their arsenal. BP has been proven to help treat acne and the great thing about this is that since it's applied topically the acne bacteria cannot build resistance against it. Aromatica Rosemary Scalp Scrub - this just smells really good, makes my scalp feel all nice and cool after use, plus tasting a bit of salty water is a nice bonus. Love the whole sensorial experience this gives. Would repurchase for sure.

Yey, I'll show you my empties. I'm so excited for this

Here are my May empties, some of sad empties but the klairs is a happy empty 😂 Dr althea bubble cleanser - As a person who love foam cleanser, this product perfectly meets my taste. The cleanser is actually liquid, but it turns into bubbles once I pump out, how convenient. I always look for it as my morning cleanser. It is gentle yet cleanse the sebum on my face well. No stripping/ irritation, but makes my skin very fresh and hydrated. Ofbase centella toner - This toner is super lightweight which my oily skin preferred, and of course it has now become my favourite. I can layer it as much as I want, but normally is two layers. It doesn’t leave greasy finish, my skin feels fresh and calmed after using. Barr cosmetics centella gel essence - my super sad empty 😭I finish it within two weeks. Having oily skin, I prefer my skincare products to be lightweight and doesn't make my skin tacky. This essence is just perfect💯 It sinks into my skin instantly after application, leave my skin very fresh like there's nothing on my skin, but feels hydrated and soothed. I normally use 5 pumps for my skin, it doesn’t burden at all! Klairs water gel cream - I have quite a high expectation on this cream as its name stated “gel”, I was amazed by the watery texture and thought it must be a perfect moisturizer for my oily skin. But my experience of using it is not that what I expected. It does glide smoothly on my skin, but after few minutes, I feel like the cream is just sitting on top of my skin without being absorbed. It takes quite a long time to be fully sink into my skin and leave sticky residue.

I'm new to the world of skincare, wait until I finish one 😆

Not so many actually… will show you on a discussion
