[Review]: @makeprem_global Safe Me Relief Moisture Cleansing Milk🤍

I was pretty excited to try Makeprem Cleansing Milk because I’ve heard a lot of good things about how gentle it is, especially for sensitive skin. And that part is true – it’s super gentle. No irritation, no stinging around the eyes, which is always a plus for me. It really does live up to its claim of being soothing and kind to the skin.

But here's the thing: it doesn't remove makeup or sunscreen properly. After using it, I still feel like my face isn’t completely clean, especially if I’ve been wearing SPF or foundation. I end up reaching for a second cleanser or using micellar water to really get everything off. 

One more thing, I find myself constantly pumping more and more product because I’m looking for that satisfying cleanse. I wish it had a bit of a foamy texture or at least spread more easily across the skin, but instead, I just keep using more.

In a nutshell, this cleanser is great for sensitive or dry skin when you want something ultra-gentle. But if you're expecting it to remove makeup and sunscreen fully, it might leave you wanting more.

Who Might Not Love This?
❌ Oily skin. it’s richer, so it might feel too much

SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Intensive Ampoule Review

 ✨Star ingredients✨
This ampoule features Centella Asiatica extract & Ceramide.  it’s been reformulated for extra hydration and skin barrier repair.

It claims to:  
✔ Provide deeper hydration for dry/dehydrated skin  
✔ Soothe and calm irritation  
✔ Strengthen the skin barrier  
✔ Nourish without feeling heavy  

Texture & Absorption
This ampoule has a milky, rich consistency that feels silky-smooth on the skin.  It’s still lightweight compared to a cream, but it definitely leaves a more noticeable layer of moisture. 

✔ Feels non-greasy  
✔ Absorbs well without feeling sticky  
✔ Leaves a slightly dewy finish  


✨My experience✨
I’m loving this ampoule! And you know I’m all about ceramides. My skin just drinks them up. The milky, gloopy texture feels rich but not heavy, and it hydrates and calms my skin without any stickiness. No issues at all on my acne-prone skin! Plus, it’s fragrance-free, so it’s perfect for sensitive skin. This one’s definitely staying in my routine, and I’m already thinking about repurchasing when I run out

1️⃣ Moisture & Hydration: 
   - This instantly made my skin feel plump and bouncy
  - Winter or dry skin? You’ll love this.

2️⃣ Soothing & Redness Reduction: 
   - This is amazing for calming down irritation.

3️⃣ Skin Barrier Repair:
   - Over time, I noticed my skin felt more resilient less prone to random irritation.   
   - Would be great for post-peel or damaged skin recovery.

4️⃣ Breakouts & Acne Healing:
   - It didn’t clog my pores or trigger acne.  
   - Helped calm existing breakouts but won’t prevent new ones. 

Who Would Love This?
✔ Dry/dehydrated skin types needing extra nourishment  
✔ Sensitive or irritated skin that needs gentle barrier support  

Final Thoughts: A Worthy Upgrade?
Yes, especially for dry skin! This feels like the more luxurious, nourishing and I honestly prefer it. It hydrates, soothes, and leaves my skin feeling way more comfortable.  

Would I repurchase? Yes! This would be my go-to for colder months or when my skin feels fragile.

Numbuzin Panthothenic B5 Soothing Serum

The Numbuzin Panthothenic B5 Soothing Serum is crafted to soothe, hydrate, and repair sensitive or stressed skin. It's the perfect solution for anyone dealing with dryness, irritation, or redness, helping to restore a calm, balanced complexion.

✨Star Ingredients✨
🔸Panthothenic Acid (Vitamin B5)**: Deeply hydrates and repairs the skin barrier, soothing irritation and promoting healing.
🔸Allantoin: Protects and soothes the skin, enhancing the serum’s calming effect.

✨My experience✨  
I've been using this serum for a while now, and while it's hydrating, it’s not super moisturizing for my dry skin. On the plus side, it doesn't clog pores, isn’t sticky, and hasn’t caused any breakouts. I also appreciate that it’s scent-free. However, since I have dry skin, I can't really tell if it’s reducing sebum.

Pros:
🔸Instant Soothing: Provides immediate relief for irritated and inflamed skin, reducing redness and discomfort quickly.
🔸Lightweight Formula: Absorbs easily without leaving a sticky or greasy residue, making it perfect for layering with other skincare products.
🔸Gentle on Skin: Free from harsh chemicals, this serum is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
  
Cons:
🔸May Need Layering: For those with extremely dry skin, additional moisturizing layers might be needed for optimal hydration.
🔸Slow Results for Severe Irritation: While effective, those with severe skin conditions may require a bit more time to see significant improvements.


The serum is fine, but I'm a little let down that my hyperpigmentation hasn't improved.

✨Claims✨
- Reduce dark spots, hyperpigmentation & uneven skin tone
- Smoothes and brighten skin
- Brighten rough & irritated skin

✨Star Ingredients✨
Niacinamide (5%) - Improve uneven skin type & dullness
 Squalane - Keeps skin young by fighting off free radicals
Sea buckthorns - Smoothes & brightens skin
Allantoin - Encourages new tissue growth
Calendula - Speeds healing of blemishes

✨Skin Concern✨
Acne-prone, sensitive, uneven texture & hyperpigmentation.

✨How to use it✨
Pump small amount to entire face or problem areas & pay until completely absorbed then seal with moisturizer. You can use it daily, am & pm for best result.

✨My experience✨
I've been using the serum religiously for 2 months. Let me tell you, my skin texture has noticeably improved! I absolutely adore how it leaves my skin glowing and feeling hydrated. Even though it's typically aimed at those with oily & sensitive skin types, surprisingly my dry skin enjoys it a lot. Plus, I haven't experienced any side effects or breakouts; it actually calms my skin. Being someone who battles hyperpigmentation, the only downside is I haven't noticed any improvement in reducing pigmentation yet. I'm guessing I'll need to use the serum for a longer period to see the full results. But overall, I still love using this serum because it gives my skin that radiant, healthy glow!

⭐⭐⭐⭐/5


I received this product from picky and numbuzin in exchange for honest review

Numbuzin Panthothenic Acid Active Drying Powder is designed to target stubborn breakouts and acne. Its primary goal is to soothe and reduce the appearance of blemishes, promoting clearer and healthier-looking skin.

✨Star Ingredients✨ 
🔸Panthothenic Acid (Vitamin B5): it helps to calm inflammation and accelerate the skin's natural healing process.  
🔸Salicylic Acid: A powerful exfoliant that helps unclog pores and reduce acne.  
🔸Zinc Oxide: Provides a calming effect and helps to control oil production.

✨How to Use✨

1. Spot Treatment: Apply a small amount directly onto blemishes after cleansing and toning. Allow the powder to dry before applying other products. Use at night for best results.

2. Mix a pinch of powder with your favorite moisturizer or serum. Apply it over affected areas and leave it on overnight. Rinse off in the morning to reveal clearer skin.

✨Skin Concern✨
Ideal for individuals with active breakouts, oily skin, or acne-prone skin. It targets inflammation, clogged pores, and excess oil production.

Pros:
- Non-Drying: Does not overly dry out the skin, unlike some acne treatments.

Cons:
Potential Dryness: Overuse or application on sensitive areas may cause dryness in some individuals.

✨My Experience ✨
I only use this powder when I have breakouts. It does a good job calming redness when applied as a spot treatment. However, I’m not a fan of the powder concept. It’s too messy as the powder tends to scatter everywhere. I would prefer if this formula was combined into a serum or cream.

✨Claims✨
🔸High UV protection 
🔸Matte finish
🔸Non-greasy formula 
🔸No white cast

✨Star Ingredients✨
🔸Mugwort extract: Helps calm irritated skin.
🔸Centella Asiatica Extract: Reduces inflammation and promoting healing.
🔸Camellia extract: Provides hydration
🔸Silica: Helps absorb excess oil, providing a matte finish 

✨Texture✨
Has a waxy texture, It's designed to provide a matte finish.

✨Skin types✨
Best for Oily and Combination Skin

✨My Experience✨

This is my first time trying out the Beauty of Joseon Matte Sun Stick and it was a bit of a letdown for me. I was hoping for a balm-like texture, but it felt more like spreading wax on my face, definitely not what I expected! While it does leave a matte finish, which might work great for oily skin people. As someone with dry skin who loves a matte look and wears makeup, this wasn't it. It pills easily, doesn't sit well under makeup, and feels kind of heavy and greasy without any hydrating benefits. It really emphasizes texture and dry spots, which is a big no-go for me. I do like that it doesn't leave any white cast but overall, it just doesn't fit my skincare routine
