I received the Hamel Double Shot Mist Serum, Tox Ampoule Stick Multibalm and Aqua Glow Sun Serum sunscreen from Picky and Hamel in exchange for my honest review. 🌱
The Mist Serum is a watery textured fine mist composed of plant-based collagen and 12 growth factor peptide complex which help improve the elasticity of the skin therefore creating a lifting effect and it strengthens the skin barrier making it firm and hydrated. The stick-type multibalm can be applied all over and is great for elasticity, wrinkles, before and after makeup application and overall skin radiance. The Glow Sun Serum is a lightweight, chemical sunscreen that has a moisturizing formula of a serum and has PA++++ which is great for those prone to melasma/hyperpigmentation. They are a great option for those with sensitive, acne prone skin.
Key Ingredients:
-Witch Hazel: soothing, exfoliating

-Leaves a dewy glow, but those with oily skin may not love this
-The balm is great for dry spots or chapped lips
-Sunscreen has no white cast, no pilling, doesn’t irritate the eyes
-The mist and multibalm are accessible via Amazon
Cons:
-Most of the packaging is in Korean
-They need to work on their website because I don’t quite understand what the brand is about
-The balm is a bit too thick and greasy for the face
-Contains fragrance
-Sunscreen is not available via Amazon, only through brand website
Overall, I have yet to notice long term benefits like wrinkle reduction or a lifting effect, which honestly no product has done. On the other hand they give a supple, healthy glow to my skin and I’ve enjoyed using them so I can still see myself repurchasing.
