Recently a few brands launch this Photofacial / Light Therapy / Smart Photon Device. It claims to target multiple skin concern and boost the efficacy of your skincare’s active ingredients. It can be used directly on skin, after skincare or with a sheet mask. Has anyone ever tried this? What's your takeaway on this device?

I've seen a lot of brands that launch products with the claim of "balancing skin microbiome" and "microbiome friendly" with ingredients such as:

-Prebiotics: fiber / the source of food for the bacteria (Oats, Inulin) 
-Probiotics: the live bacteria itself (Lactococcus) 
-Postbiotics: the end product of bacterial fermentation (Lactobacillus ferment, Bifida ferment lysate)

Have you guys tried any product which contains that sort of thing? What's your comment on that?

Has anyone tried the "slugging" trend? How was it and what product do you use?

Slugging

I've been wanting to use face pads to exfoliate since it gives you the benefit of physical + chemical exfoliant. So far I've tried the one's from Neogen and I feel like the texture of the pad is a bit too harsh on my skin😖 

Any suggestion on what brand should I try next?

You cant really see when the product is about to run out. But it uses an airless packaging pump so you can really use the product till the last drop.

It has a light milky texture, rather than the usual clear-watery serum texture. It smells great, gives a cooling effect and easily absorbed on my skin.

The packaging is super cute & practical, since it use an airless pump you need to pump a few times on the first time using it.

✅ Texture 
Contains Dimethicone (silicone), one of the alleged culprit that causes breakout / allergic reactions. 

The smell is nice, but personally its too strong for my liking. 

✅Packaging
The glass jar packaging makes it feel cooler especially after you put it in the fridge. My main concern is that its not so hygienic since you have to dip your fingers and risks contamination, although it comes with a spatula. 

✅ Texture
Love the texture! Lightweight watery-gel with cooling effect on the skin. It feels silky-smooth due to the Dimethicone on top of the ingredients list. It takes some time to get absorbed, so its good for a little massage time during the PM routine. 

✅ Ingredients & Claim
Contains Hyaluronic Acid, Centella and Marine Collagen to hydrate, repair skin barrier and improve skin texture. The hydration is pretty great, but for my dry skin I prefer moisturizer that stays on your face til the morning. But for those of you with oily-combination skin, I think this is perfect for you! 

✅Price
Pretty standard for a moisturizer, although you can find other substitutes with cheaper price.

✅Overall
⭐️Score: 4/5
⭐️Repurchase: Maybe. Its a great product, but you can find similar moisturizer with cheaper price.

First of all can we talk about the packaging? Its uber cute! It has magnetic spatula so you won't loose it. The first unboxing experience, you have to open the seal so its really hygienic & quality is intact. 

The texture is sorbet-like and melts so easy like butter, living up to its name. It does the job really well, taking off my makeup seamlessly. It also leaves the skin feeling silky smooth.

Its a bit pricey since you only get 40 gr of product for IDR 149,000. As a comparison, Dear Me Beauty&#39;s Clensing Balm is also IDR 149,000 but you get 100 gr worth of product.

Definitely one of my all time favorite cleansing balm! It melts like butter, easily taking makeup &amp; dirt off your skin. The citrus-bergamot smell is so nice &amp; relaxing. The packaging is 💯! It has a seperate flip top compartment for the generous-sized spatula. Love this product!

Amazing product with very affordable price. It melts away into the skin like butter, easily taking the makeup and dirt off your face.
