Brand Wishlist

Not really a bad review but it doesn’t have a scent as people tend to usually love scents of products. 

But in reality, fragrance free products are also better for people with sensitive skin. 

This is my fave gentle cleanser! I’ve been using this for several years now. ✨

This @cosrx Low pH Good Morning Cleanser is very gentle to the skin.
⭐️It is non-irritating due to its skin soothing ingredients - tea tree oil. It is also hydrating and it doesn’t leave your skin feeling dry after use. 
⭐️It also has BHAs which helps remove pore-clogging substances. 
⭐️Aside from this, it has primrose oil which helps moisturize and nourish the skin. This cleanser is perfect for people with dry, dull and sensitive skin. 


It is a bit sticky upon application and you have to be careful not to touch other clothes or stuff coz it may transfer. 

This Torriden Solid Lip Essence is truly a life saver. I often always have dry chapped lips but with this Lip Essence, my chapped lips are gone. One of the best things about this formula is that it is NAFE safe which is perfect for me because I have sensitive lips that have bad reactions (often itchiness and burning) towards many products esp lipsticks. 

✅no alcohol
✅no fragrance
✅no essential oil

With this lip essence, I don’t have to worry about irritation and drying of my lips. I usually apply this as needed during daytime and at nighttime before sleep. By the following morning, this makes my lip so soft and hydrated. These are its superstar ingredients:

⭐️ Olive Fruit Oil - emollient, contains vit E and antioxidant polyphenols

⭐️ Ceramide - creates moisture retaining barrier that protect lips

⭐️ Glycerin - moisturizer and skin-identical ingredient

⭐️Panthenol - moisturizes skin, contains anti-inflammatory, skin-protecting and wound healing properties

I highly recommend this for all people who have dry, chapped and sensitive lips. 

I haven’t seen any major changes yet. I need to try it more to see the effect. 

For those stubborn breakouts, this anti-acne spot cream is a lifesaver. With niacinamide, tea tree leaf oil, centella, and glycerin, it helps calm and reduce redness while keeping skin hydrated.

This is too lightweight and I think would not be that moisturizing during winter season. 

Poremizing Light Gel Cream
Lightweight and refreshing, this gel cream has niacinamide, centella, adenosine, and hyaluronic acid. It absorbs quickly and keeps my skin moisturized without feeling greasy. Gel creams are my go-to, and this one is perfect as a daily moisturizer!

There is actually nothing really bad tho I wish it would come in small bottles too. 

This pore-minimizing ampoule is a dream for sensitive skin. Packed with centella, 3-0 ethyl ascorbic acid, and panthenol, it soothes while refining pores. My skin feels hydrated and balanced!
