I think those with extremely dry skin might need a thicker occlusive over this one. I have dehydrated skin and 1-2 pumps work pretty well for me. But if I’m feeling extra dry, I like to layer it with a thicker moisturizer. This also has some fragrance &amp; plant oils, but I personally love the scent!

This is such an innovative minimalistic product!✨ I am so surprised no one really talks about this. This stuff is amazing! It’s a toner, essence, and emulsion all-in-one. It’s deeply nourishing but at the same time refreshing and lightweight. I also really love the eco friendly pump packaging making it super convenient to use. On days I need to rush out, I love using this by itself with sunscreen. It never feels too heavy on the skin. It’s just perfect 🤌🏽✨

Key Ingredients:
🌱 Lotus Seed Extract to brighten
🥑 Avocado &amp; olive oil to nourish
🌹 Rosehip oil to balance the skin

Texture:
I think the texture is my favorite thing about this product. This applies like a dream😍 This has a silky, beautiful, fluffy, lotion-like, essencey texture that melts into the skin leaving it super soft and nourished. It also has this relaxing earthy rose scent that smells SO divine! 

If you haven’t tried this yet, go and check it out. You’ll love it! Loved this one and definitely will repurchase~

This works great when my skin has the occasional buildup of dead skin cells. But since I keep my skin well hydrated and use vitamin c regularly to help with cell turnover, I don’t reach for this one as much—which makes it harder to finish before it expires. I’ve had it for almost a year and there’s still half left! But I guess it really depends on how often you exfoliate your skin.

When my skin is looking really dull and all my other skincare products don’t seem to be working, I go for Kale-lalu-yAHA and I’m always so surpised on how this transforms my skin!

I have pretty sensitive skin so I try to stay away from really strong actives, but my skin seems to enjoy this one!✨

🌿This contains glycolic acid which helps to gently resurface the skin—unglue dead skin cells and promote new cell growth—revealing a brighter smoother complexion. The percentage of AHAs in this is not too harsh on my sensitive skin neither is it too gentle like it’s not doing anything for me. It hits the sweet spot of 5.25% that helps to slough off any buildup of dead skin cells without much irritation. Right after using this you do see some immediate results, but I love how it kind of helps my skin along in the next few days, looking brighter and clearer! I use this every 2 weeks and it has significantly reduced and helped fade hyperpigmentation on my cheeks. It also helps my hydrating layers of skincare to work better and absorb deeper into the skin. 

🌿This also contains aloe, vitmain B5, and a blend of powerhouse greens so not only does this exfoliates, but it helps to soothe and hydrate as well. Liah Yoo really knows how to respect the skin barrier and keep our skin happy!💚

I also want to mention how much I love the apothecary and recyclable packaging! It has that boho vibe to it that will look great on your vanity!

I loooooove this ampoule!! This definitely made it to my ultimate favorite serums! This contains 71.77% Noni extract which is known to be anti-inflammatory and rich in antioxidants. This ampoule provides concentrated antioxidant care to improve skin elasticity along with deeply moisturizing benefits to repair and nourish stressed skin. It’s the perfect match to my super dehydrated skin!

What I love most about this ampoule is that it’s very effective at solving inner dryness! It has a thick gel-like consistency that really fills my skin with deep hydration and freshness. My skin looks and feels firmer, healthier, and more luminous with every use! It is the perfect daily ampoule for tired, dull, dehydrated skin *chef’s kiss*

Not super hydrating on its own and brightening effects are subtle and gradual but I still love it nontheless!

I can see why everybody loves this! It’s a really unique toner that truly gives a glow from within and a bright luminosity to the skin with just one use. It’s non-irritating, gentle, and hasn’t broken me out. It provides a decent amount of hydration but I love it most for its replenishing, balancing, and repairing properties! Pairing this toner with other hydrating products leaves my skin so glowy, happy, and hydrated! Even the bottle of this is so pretty! It has a simple yet effortlessly beautiful look on my vanity!

This is a bi-phase toner so you have to shake it well first to combine the emulsion and watery layers, then gently pat into skin. It has a milky, runny consistency that applies very smoothly. This also visibly plumps and coats the skin with a protective barrier that feels so lightweight and pleasant!

I know this gets compared a lot with Laneige Cream Skin so I listed down some differences for a more helpful reference:

𝕀’𝕞 𝔽𝕣𝕠𝕞 ℝ𝕚𝕔𝕖 𝕋𝕠𝕟𝕖𝕣:

𝙿𝚛𝚘𝚜
- brings immediate freshness to the skin with a hint of moisture
- gives an instant beautiful, glowy look
- with gradual use helps to improve dry, dull, tired skin

𝙲𝚘𝚗𝚜
- not super hydrating on its own
- brightening effects not too noticeable at first, very subtle

𝕃𝕒𝕟𝕖𝕚𝕘𝕖 ℂ𝕣𝕖𝕒𝕞 𝕊𝕜𝕚𝕟:

𝙿𝚛𝚘𝚜
- feels elegant and sinks into the skin beautifully
- with one light layer, it gives intense moisture and long lasting hydration
- it can also solve a lot of skin problems such as dryness and irritation 

𝙲𝚘𝚗𝚜
- sometimes can leave skin feeling sticky and a slight bit greasy

𝚆𝚑𝚒𝚌𝚑 𝚘𝚗𝚎 𝙸 𝚙𝚛𝚎𝚏𝚎𝚛:
I love both products! It just really depends on what my skin needs. But these days, I actually prefer Rice toner when I don’t want anything too heavy or too moisturizing. I love how it helps me to achieve that glass skin look even though it’s only temporary. It’s quickly becoming one of my favorites! 🤍
