FUN FACT:
I just found out, via an amazing followers on Instagram, that Centella Asiatica is also very commonly known as Ulam Pegaga☘ here in Malaysia! They are edible and commonly eaten raw as ulam!
I googled it and found out that they are native to the wetlands of Asia and used as a culinary vegetable and as a medicinal herb.

💔 CONS :
•it is SUPER watery so gotta be a little careful when pouring💧

❤️ PROS :
•fragrance free, and very gentle on the skin
•the dropper design makes it easy to use
💔 CONS :

𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕣𝕒𝕝𝕝
Can't deny the similarity of this to Skin1004 centella range however, after application, the difference in these 2 ranges of products are quite prominent.
One thing I felt is really note worthy for me to mention with regards to this toner and ampoule pair is that it seems controls my oil & sebum production, making my skin less oily thoughout the day💖

NESSIE SAYS :
Before we get into the nitty gritty, just wanna say that i love the packaging✨super simple, super classy with light embossing. Can't forgot how the warm golden hues remind me of 🌅and is so pleasing to the eye (well, to my eye at least🤭)

Overall, i really enjoyed and exceptionally appreciated how the use of the whole set together really maintained a long lasting hydration💦and refreshing effect on my skin, especially for someone who has an office day job and constantly being cooped up in air conditioned offices all day🤓

𝕋𝕆ℕ𝕀ℕ𝔾 𝕋𝕆ℕ𝔼ℝ - with both hydrating and exfoliating properties, it is specifically targeted for irritated/sensitive skin. It contains PHA to gently remove dead skin cells, helping to smooth and brighten skin, as well as preparing skin for the rest of your skincare routine.
Made of 84% Centella Asiatica extract to “deliver intense hydration💦and soothe irritated skin, providing relief for skin conditions such as eczema, acne, psoriasis.”

The toner has a watery consistency, and absorbs into the skin really fast and easily without any oily or tacky residue feeling leftover✨I really like how it leaves my skin feeling very refreshed, especially early in the morning. There is no discernible scent that I can noted of.

❤️ PROS :
•refreshing on first application and feels super hydrating and refreshing💧
•particularly appreciated how the hydration benefits were quite long lasting
💔 CONS :
•did not really notice much of the exfoliating or brightening benefits
•as it is very runny, i am usually quite weary about pouring too much out by accident

𝔸𝕄ℙ𝕆𝕌𝕃𝔼 - this is a 100% Cica ampoule and has a watery/runny consistency and is transparent in colour. It claims to calm, heal, soothe and moisturize the skin. It tackles skin troubles like large pores❄️sebum production, dehydration and compromised skin barrier. This golden elixir provides a punch of hydration💦to my combination skin type.

It is an all-rounder product that replenishes, soothes, softens and rejuvenates my skin all at once. I get frequent bouts of stress breakouts coupled with redness and i feel this ampoule helps in calming them down. It works as an amazing balancer for me⚖️

❤️ PROS :
•definitely lightweight and scentless, basically like water🌊
•fast absorbing and isn’t sticky or greasy!
•it also gives an instant boost of hydration💦which is really suitable for a glass skin effect
💔 CONS :
•only downsides that I can see is that the glass is relatively heavy, so would not be the best for travel🚀
•the plastic material for the dropper feels a bit too soft, which i felt made it a little more difficult to control

𝕊𝕆𝕆𝕋ℍ𝕀ℕ𝔾 ℂℝ𝔼𝔸𝕄 - The texture for the cream is also very lightweight, almost gel-like even. However the most awe-factor would be it's content of 72% centella extract☘️It is really easily spreadable and absorbs relatively fast into the skin. Perfect for humid weather and all day airconditioning as it doesn't leave an oily or sticky finish.

I personally would prefer to use this during the day☀️rather than at night as it doesnt feel AS hydrating and moisturising as i would like for overnight🌙use.

❤️ PROS :
•appreciate that it's in a tube rather than a jar so i dont have to dip my fingers in...i mean lets be honest, how many of us actually use the spatula EVERY time🙈
•super lightweight and absorbs easily, really suitable during humid weather
•very lightly scented, but in a relatively natural herb-y way🌱
💔 CONS :
•for a cream, i felt it was too lightweight for winter or nighttime use, so i believe those with dry skin might be able to appreciate this more as a "serum" use rather than a cream

nothing bad, but as it does have a faint tea tree scent, those who are sensitive to scents or don't like herby earthy like scents may want to take note

This toner features powerful calming ingredients including, but not restricted to: 
☘️ Tea Tree & Cica - soothes irritaiton, calm redness and protect the skin barrier
☘️AHA & PHA - dissolves dead skin cells 
☘️Niacinamide (my ultimate fave) - suppress excess sebum production and brighten skin complexion
☘️Mary&May Gesolza ingredient - contains powerful anti-inflammatory properties and minimises sebum secretion

With such a line-up, this toner really sounds like the ultimate soothing toner perfect for warm and irritable weathers - and very true to my expectations it was

My first and most unforgettable impression was simply how mildly cooling and refreshing it felt on my skin, during and post application. Carries a faint teatree scent, which adds to the refreshing kick and has a super light consistency, almost water-like. It absorbs readily, after a few pats, and leaves a very fresh and clean finish

One little practice that i have come to really enjoy with this toner, is by pouring a small amount out and soaking in a sheetmask pad in the fridge. I cannot describe how amazingly soothing and comfortable this feels after a long day out! 

For me, when i use too much, it does leave a slight greasy finish, hence i don't usually slug too much on as i worry about my pillowcase absorbing more than my face🤭

Featuring ingredients such as soothing centella asiatica, multiple kinds of hyaluronic acid, and nano-sized ceramide to support a healthy skin barrier, provide long lasting moisture, and give a soft, glowing complexion - this sleeping pack is formulated to calm and vitalize your skin throuhout the night

This comes in a very soothing and cooling light gel texture that feels extremely refreshing and hydrating on the skin. It spreads very easily and my skin literally drinks it all up instantly

I particularly enjoy using this after my retinol routine - it feels like i'm locking in all the goodness with this super moisturising layer. And the best thing, once absorbed, it doesn't leave a heavy or film-like feeling over my face

I love that i get to wake up to super plump and smooth skin, even after washing my face, when i use this sleeping pack. And my ultimate favourite hack - chilled sleeping pack❄️fridge it and your skin will love you for it, especially on hot days

nothing particularly bad - it is a very gentle cream, hence I would recommend it if you're looking for shocking results

I received this product for free from Picky and By Wishtrend in exchange for my honest review

This was actually created in response to high demand for a product that would not only suit everyone but tackle specific skin concerns that many share. It’s a hypo-allergenic formulation that claims to suit all skin types and utilizes the pairing of Retinal and Bakuchiol to work on the skin overnight to prevent wrinkles and fine lines while also improving skin elasticity

The cream contains a concoction featuring many familiar ingredients along with 0.03% Retinal (Retinaldehyde) and 1% Bakuchiol (plant-based Retinol), further supported by Collagen, Hyaluronic Acid, Centella Asiatica, Beta-Glucan, Adenosine, and Niacinamide

It comes in an airless pump container helps maintain the quality of Vitamin A in cream to prolong the product’s shelf life. It has a rich yellow silky texture, the colour, though, is all natural without any additives

It is extremely lightweight and spreads really easily. It took a few pats to absorbs but leaves a very naturally dewy finish without being greasy or tacky - personally, i actually quite like this texture, especially for PM creams. Slightly rich, yet not heavy, and very sufficiently moisturising

While I can’t confidently say that this product has decreased fine lines or improved skin elasticity as such results would definitely take muc longer to surface , my skin does look healthier and feels very much softer and smoother

Did i mention they're
🌱Vegan
🐰Cruelty free

brightening and dark circles wise, i didn't see too much of a difference - however, my eyebags and dark circles are pretty deep, so maybe i just need more time🤭

Gotta love brands that emphasise on eco♻️friendly packaging - this one is made with sugarcane paper and soy ink

I just love the texture of this eye cream - it's slightly creamy and gel-like but not to the extent that it becomes sticky. It also spreads really easily and is readily absorbed into my skin 

It doesn't feel heavy on my eyes - i have this fear of eyecreams as i've tried alot that ended up feeling very thick and heavy on my skin. This felt quite lightweight, but after consecutive overnight uses, i could feel that the skin around my eyes has become alot more supple💦 

I can't say much about it's anti-wrinkle benefits as i don't have much smile lines to begin with, but hopefully, with continuous usage, any potential smile lines gets delayed🙈 

Scrent-less and definately hydrating as promised, i personally feel that i've benefited wonderfully from this eye cream - with super love to how it does not result in any tiny bumps or milia formation - i think i've found my potentially top loved eye cream🥰

Though i must admit, it took a while to get used to the bubble texture - especially in terms of quantity and application as the bubbles melt easily into the hair and does not lather (since it's already bubbles(

I received this product for free from Picky and URBANAND in exchange for my honest review

My very first bubble hair care experience and I have to admit...i was super excited to try them out

This came in a really chic pump bottle and dispenses ready made micro bubbles, ready for immediate use. The bubbles are really light and fine, hich make possible to cleanse your scalp and hair without irritation. The fine formulation helps to cleanse our external substances like fine dust and dandruff with ease

The treatment provides nourishment to damaged hair and maintain smoothness without excessive grease. I particularly love the scents of these...slightly citrus-y and extremely refreshing! 

Once you get used to it, though, it's actually really convenient and it does a thorough job at cleansing my hair and scalp without over stripping them. Depending on how logn they can last, i would definitely consider this set a keeper
