I tried the Blackhead Sheet Out Mask that was sent to me to test if the product claims are true. It actually works! You can checkout the before and after pics below:

Product Claims:
A pore care sheet pack that gently softens and dissolves blackheads, sebaceous filaments, and sebum to easily extract them from pores without damaging the skin.  

Key Ingredients:
BHA - oil soluble that penetrates further into the skin. They can bypass the oil that clogs pores and dissolve the mix of sebum and dead skin that leads to acne.
Soapberry Extracts -  multi-acid, rinse-off exfoliant peel that dramatically resurfaces skin to visibly smooth wrinkles, refines rough, bumpy texture, brighten tone & unclog pores.
Botanical extracts - a combination of diefferent botanical extracts that help soothe and tighten pores.

Gentle Way of Removing Sebaceous Filaments in 10mins!

I am a part of the skincareaddiction forum or group on reddit and I stumbled upon this topic.

Here's the step on how to easily remove your sebaceous filaments:

•Apply a liquid BHA (higher concentration and not the mild gentle toner ones) to your skin and wait 20 minutes for it to do its magic

•Apply a clay mask over the BHA-treated area. Don't rinse off the BHA prior to the clay mask application.

•Once the mask has dried up, rinse it off and apply a cleansing oil. Don't rinse, and wait another 15 minutes.

•After the time is up, massage the area with the cleansing oil. You should feel little pieces of "grit" on your fingertips. Those are the sebaceous filaments. Gross but so satisfying.

I have tried this method and it actually works.  You can read more about this by clicking the link below:

d'Alba White Truffle Vegan First Spray Serum

DUPE ALERT!!!

The Isntree TW Real Bifida ampoule is a good dupe of the pricey Estee Lauder Advanced Night repair serum. I am obsessed with this ampoule because it has way more amazing ingredients list than the Estee Lauder advanced night repair serum with just a fraction of its price.

 The high concentration of 88% BIFIDA repairs damaged skin barriers and returns it to its tight firm with less wrinkles when used consistently. 

Key Ingredients:
 Bifida Ferment Lysate, Dipropylene Glycol, Niacinamide, Glycerin, Lactobacillus&#47;Pumpkin Ferment Extract, Lactobacillus&#47;Soybean Ferment Extract, Rice Ferment Filtrate (Sake), Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract, Origanum Vulgare Leaf Extract, Cinnamomum Cassia Bark Extract, Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Chamaecyparis Obtusa Leaf Extract, Beta-Glucan, Oligopeptides

Overall:
I use this as my night serum. It gives me such a nice glow. It doesn&#39;t feel oily and sticky.  I love that it is lightweight and how it can easily gets absorbed by the skin plus it leaves your skin hydrated and radiant. I didn&#39;t experience any irritation or breakouts while using this product.  I noticed my skin texture improved since I started using this ampoule. I highly recommend this for any skin type. 5&#47;5 rating

My thoughts:
💛This smells exactly like the Yuja fruit. It is very uplifting and comforting at the same time. The scent lingers as you apply this product to your face.  The sleeping mask is fast-absorbing and has a lightweight, water cream texture similar to the @somebymi AHA BHA PHA Miracle Cream. I love how it doesn&#39;t stain or transfer into your pillow compared to other sleeping masks in the market.  I wake up with hydrated, glowing, radiant skin. I have been using it for a month and as you can see from my before and after pics, my acne marks lighten! This stuff actually works! I have sensitive skin and I&#39;m glad it didn&#39;t cause me irritations or breakouts. It has Yuja extracts, Yuja peel oil, and peppermint extracts that can be irritating to those who are sensitive to it so I still recommend doing a patch test before using. Overall, I am obsessed with this sleeping mask and will definitely repurchase. 5&#47;5⭐

🍯My thoughts:
First time I used this serum, I actually hated it because it is thick and sticky when I applied it on my face. However it does not leave my face sticky for that long because once you give it a minute or two for it to be absorbed. It gave me a nice, radiant glass skin glow. It feels lightweight and surprisingly my skin didn&#39;t get oily throughout the day. I am quite impressed because of the high quality ingredients list but somehow it is affordable compared to other serums in the market. 

I highly recommend this for all skin types👍

This is such a lightweight moisturizer perfect for oily acne prone skin. I got it the AC Collection intensive kit for free from COSRX to join the COSRX Acne Challenge. It reaally cleared out my cystic acne. It is gentle on my skin. No irritations or bad reactions at all.

 I hope the gel nail sizes are a little bit bigger because it might be too small to some who have bigger nails.

Thank you so much Picky and Touch in Sol US for sending me the Touch in Sol Real Gel Nail Strips and UV lamp in exchange for my honest review. I love these gel nail strips. Very quick to apply and feels comfortable to wear. It gives a real gel nail manicure finish. It is long lasting and can last upto a week. I tried washing the dishes to really test the gel nails and I am so impressed that it didn't budge at all. The best thing about this product is that it is also easy to remove.
