SHOPEE [Cos De BAHA] Vitamin C 15% Serum

SHOPEE [AMPLE:N] Ceramide Shot Ampoule

STYLEKOREAN  [Be The Skin] BHA+ Pore Zero 30 Second Exfoliator

I received the Waterfull Hyaluronic Acid sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++ free from Picky and Jumiso in exchange for my honest review. This is a water-based, hybrid sunscreen. Besides UV Filters, it also contains Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid. While your skin is protected from the sun, it also receives moisture and hydration for the day.

The lightweight lotion-type texture of this sunscreen is pretty moisturising. It spreads easily, absorbs fine, doesn’t pill and leaves a nice dewy finish on my skin that turns semi-matt after some time. There is a light chemical smell, which dissipates after a few minutes. I didn’t experience any skin irritation from using this sunscreen.

💙Recommended for all & non sensitive skin types; good for dry skin peeps.
💙Alcohol and Fragrance free; EO free, Reef safe and Vegan.
💙Repurchase? maybe.

p.s. I also received the Super Soothing Cica & Aloe Sunscreen so you’ll find a vid for both, which includes texture and after-application.

There is nothing negative about this product.

SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Tone Brightening Boosting Toner is one of the Tone Brightening Line products. This line has its very own brightening patented centella-derived ingredient .. MadeWhite™ (that is, Madecassoside). 

This is brightening and hydrating toner that gently removes dead skin cells, leaving the skin supple.

Key Ingredients
90% pure Centella Asiatica Extract, Madecassoside, Niacinamide, Singreen (4 fruit extracts that gently removes dead skin cells).

My Thoughts
This lovely toner is unscented and has a water like texture. It is very light and gentle on the skin! As soon as the toner touches my skin, I can feel a slight cooling effect, which is nice; it absorbs very quickly as well. I love that the toner smooths and soothes my skin. I can see my face looks clearer with each use; and I do pair it with the capsule ampoule for an even brighter look. I absolutely love how refreshing and hydrating this toner makes my skin feel. 

Nothing negative about the product.



[Just a note to those whose skin might be sensitive to scented product as this toner has a very light scent.]

I received this product for free from Picky and COXIR in exchange for my honest review. It’s the first COXIR product I am reviewing!

🐌 Key and Notable Ingredients 🖤
Snail Mucin Filtrate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Betaine, Viola Mandshurica Flower Extract, Allantoin, Adenosine, Hydrolyzed Collagen.

The ingredients of snail and collagen in this toner help to maintain the skin’s moisture level, protecting it from dryness and, at the same time, improve skin’s elasticity; minimise fine lines and wrinkles. It also keeps the skin looking healthy!

After using this toner for about two weeks, I observed my skin is adequately hydrated throughout the day. When used in my night routine, my skin still felt soft and smooth the next morning; refreshed too! I can’t say the toner has helped with improving skin’s fines lines. Perhaps with consistent use, my skin might reap its full benefits.

The toner is a little on the thick side but not tacky and it is lightweight! It absorbs quite well into my skin. There is a light scent that lingers for just a bit upon application, which is fine by me though without it would be ideal. I like that the toner also works well with other products I use in my routine. 

Overall, a nice snail collagen toner that hydrates, moisturises and nourishes the skin! 

Thank you Picky and COXIR!

The ampoule comes in a translucent glass bottle. I like the tea tree scent and the green look of the ampoule. It is slightly thicker than water in texture, absorbs pretty fast into my skin and not tacky. I love the cool feel it gives to my skin on application. This ampoule is great in relieving redness on the skin and also as a spot treatment for breakouts that are starting to form.

We love Vitamin C, don’t we, whether we consume internally, or apply topically on our skin?

That is coz we know the benefits Vitamin C bring for our skin .. a powerful antioxidant; the prevention of premature ageing!

I love trying new and different Vitamin C serums and have started on another from Cos de Baha!

So, let’s take a quick look at it ..

The key ingredients are 15% Ascorbic Acid, Panthenol (Vitamin B5) and Sodium Hyaluronate.
One other notable ingredient is Arbutin.

I love how lightweight this serum feels on my skin, and how fast absorbing it is. It also has a nice light citrus scent. It brightens my skin, giving it a healthy glow. I can see that my skin looks clearer, fresher and smoother.

This serum is a nice addition to my skincare routine and it is pretty affordable .. just under USD 11.

..

A side note .. 

As you most likely already know, to keep your Vit C serum from breaking down and oxidising faster, store it in a cool, dark place .. one great place is the refrigerator. Do expect the clear colour to turn light lemony with time as it is normal and it should still be good.  Just remember to use it within 6 months from the time you open it.  I usually date mine so I know when I open it.

..

Unsure if this Ascorbic Acid concentration suits you?

You might want to start with a lower one, perhaps 5-10% first and build your way up; or if you prefer to try this serum, use a small drop as a patch test to see if your skin reacts to it.

If you think this 15% Ascorbic Acid is okay for your skin, and haven’t yet tried this serum, I certainly recommend it to you!
