Couldn’t fault anything with the product.

Picky rewarded me with Ultra Hyaluronic Emulsion by Coxir for an honest review, and here is my feedback after using it for a week.

I used it in the morning and evening after my skincare routine after toner. And I must say, this light creamy lotion has a rich moisturising effect. My skin after application gave an immediate boost of hydration which I think is brilliant for spa days (considering emulsion is one of many steps in skincare). This formula contains highly concentrated hyaluronic acid for keeping skin moist.

Perfect for all skin types especially for dehydrated skin, it protects skin from dryness and helps to calm redness and swelling of skin. The hero ingredients are - 

* Hyaluronic Acid - helps reduce the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles retaining moisture to the skin, creating a plumping effect. When the skin is protected and hydrated, increased skin cell production can take place, as the skin isn't busy fighting for hydration. This leads to smoother, plumper skin cells.
* Aloe Vera - it helps in Soothing Sunburns and Skin Injuries, Moisturising Skin, Fading Dark Spots and Stretch Marks, Managing Acne, Soothing Skin Conditions and Slowing Signs of Aging.
* Plant Extract - Among antioxidant substances, those derived from plants play an important role in preventing and repairing skin damage caused by free radicals. Plant extracts not only have the ability to scavenge free radicals, but also support the defence and regenerative mechanisms of the skin.

How to use :
1. Use after toner/ampoule in your routine.
2. Apply appropriate amount to entire face and massage gently until fully absorbed.

This emulsion is just perfect for skincare on days you have sometime in your hand for self care. Just remember to apply this on WET SKIN since it is rich in hyaluronic acid. Otherwise this light weight moisturiser is a game changer for my mature skin.

As you can see in the pictures, the mask wasn’t a right fit for my face shape. I had too much mask covering my hair above forehead, but a clear gap on the sides of my face. 
Also, if you are really gentle with the sheet, it may tear, as it happened in my case. So you will have to be super duper gentle with it, which in my opinion, is a bit of trouble when you are tired at the end of the day and just want to relax with the mask on.

Picky rewarded me with Pore Elasticity Mask with Retino Collagen by CKD for an honest review, and here is my feedback after using it twice.

I used it in the evenings after spending the whole day out on work. I have used sheet masks before, but using this mask in particular was not only giving glowy skin results but also gave me this luxurious feel in the process. I mean the after glow that I got from this mask was just perfect!! The texture of the mask is jelly-like but once placed on the skin, doesn’t move unlike others. My skin immediately after removing, felt soft and radiant. Of course I had to quickly move onto the cream from same range before the goodness by this mask dried up. ☺️

As it claims to tighten pores and restore elasticity to your skin, leaving it looking smoother, firmer, and more youthful. I did find the mask living up to its claim. So every time I used this mask, I followed up with my cream to lock in the benefits.

The benefits of few of its hero ingredients are - 

* Hydrolyzed collagen : works to enhance elasticity and works in harmony with soluble collagen
* Retinal : a vitamin A form, reduces fine lines and promotes skin renewal
* Hyaluronic Acid : locks in moisture, leaving the skin refreshed and glowing 
* Elastin : is a natural elasticity booster, ensuring skin firmness and structure

The after application look is fab. Would certainly recommend to all those who love a good “spa” experience at home.

It CAN tug on your very soft mature skin and so the trick is to let the cream warm and melt on your skin by your body temperature before gliding it around your eye area.

Picky rewarded me with Iceland Hydrating Eye Stick by the Saem for an honest review, and here is my feedback after using it for a week.

I have combination skin with oily t-zone and dry-to-normal everything else. My eye area doesn’t have any major issues except for some fine lines and some puffiness on worst days. At night I prefer thicker creams like balms, but in the day time, I am a sucker for light weight formulas.

This eye cream in “stick” form is easy to apply and light weight to carry along if you are on travel. It doesn’t come in glass bottle as most of my eye cream/serums do. It claims to be formulated with Icelandic mineral water and ice plant extract that deliver cooling moisture to delicate eye area. Not only that but also, helps brighten and smooth dull, wrinkled skin for a radiant finish. The hero ingredients are - 

* Iceland Moss - Moss is a natural source of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients that help to nourish the skin from the inside out. It contains essential vitamins like A, B, C, E, and K that help to boost your skin's immunity.  
* Iceland mineral water - Cleans the skin from pollutants, dirt and oil. Gives a sense of relaxation and freshness on the skin. Tightens the pores and makes the skin beautiful.  
* Xylitol - used as a humectant, meaning it has the ability to bind moisture in skin. Like glycerin, it is sugar alcohol, that apart from moisturising also and conditions skin, whilst possessing anti-bacterial properties.
* Niacinamide - improve skin hydration by preventing evaporation of moisture from the skin into the environment. It's also a natural anti-inflammatory ingredient, so it's great for calming irritated skin, but also good for people with sensitive skin.  
* Adenosine - decreases the appearance of wrinkles by energizing the skin's surface. Studies have shown skincare containing adenosine led to significant improvements in skin smoothness, decreased appearance of crow's feet, and reduce the depth of brow wrinkles. The result is a smoother more youthful complexion.

How to use :
1. Apply on cleansed skin, preferably after face serum.
2. Do not tug on your skin, rather wait for the cream to melt after contact with your warm skin before gliding all around your eyes.

It’s doesn’t leave any greasy after effect, has mild fragrance. The stick has a cooling effect reducing any puffiness around eyes. I liked the product very much (not to forget it’s ‘super cute’ packaging) and would certainly recommend to my friends and family.

1. It broke me out when i used it twice a day and moist skin did not last till the morning when i used it once a day (at night). 
2. Considering its price, it did not give me anything marvellous, or blow my mind.
3. Very less information provided in English. Could only make out the name, amount and where its made from package.

Was sent this product by Picky and it’s beautiful golden colour caught my eye immediately. Simple packaging with majority written in korean. Small cute 50 ml bottle with pump - so travel friendly light weight option there.

Coming to the serum, it is a gel like sticky solution but gets absorbed quickly and leaves a well hydrated, shiny look. Almost like the look after i apply an oil but doesn’t feel oily at all. I tried using this after cleansing both day and night. But i started breaking out. So i have reduced to applying it only at night which suits my skin now. However my skin goes back to looking dry when i check first thing in the morning after i wake up. So it did not really leave any moisturised, hydrated skin that i saw after applying at night. 

Its ingredients however was very interesting. According to INCI it consists of bean, pear, barley, and pomegranates extract. No alcohol. No fragrance. No essential oils.

*Soybean ferment extract - https://incidecoder.com/ingredients/lactobacillus-soybean-ferment-extract

*Punica Granatum Fruit ferment extract (exfoliant) - https://incidecoder.com/ingredients/lactobacillus-punica-granatum-fruit-ferment-extract

*Barley seed ferment filtrate (moisturiser/humectant) - https://incidecoder.com/ingredients/saccharomyces-barley-seed-ferment-filtrate

*Pear juice ferment filtrate - https://incidecoder.com/ingredients/lactobacillus-pear-juice-ferment-filtrate

Benefits of beans: skin strengthening, moisture recharge, and skin texture improvement. Can be used daily as an essence or as needed as an exfoliant.

Retails at around £30. 
-Will i pay to use this again? No
-Will I recommend this to someone else? Maybe to someone with VERY dry not-sensitive skin

I am giving it 3 stars because i have mixed opinion about it. It did break me out if used twice a day but left me with dry skin in the morning if used once a day. Hence the average rating. 

This is my personal honest review/opinion on the product after using it for approximately 2 weeks.

Not exactly bad about this product, nore like a suggestion. 
Should it come out with at least 3 basic shade/tone range so everyone can get the chance to enjoy its benefits?? Maybe something for Isntree to think about..

Picky rewarded me with Yam Root Milk Tone Up Sun Cream SPF50+ PA++++ by Isntree for an honest review, and here is my feedback after using it for a week.

I used it in the morning after my skincare routine as the last step. And I must say, this light beige tinted SPF based on mineral sunscreen filters provides a natural tone correction, moisturizes skin, and leaves a flawless look with a subtle glow. My skin after application gave an immediate foundation effect which I think is brilliant for rush days. This new BB/CC cream type formula is quite innovative and I totally loved it!! 

Perfect for all skin types maybe except sensitive, this sunscreen has a texture like CC cream but applies like BB cream and gives a beautiful sheen to the skin leaving a bit of white cast which is expected out of mineral sunscreen I guess. The hero ingredients are - 

* Yam Root Extract - This plant-based skin care ingredient is great for plumping, hydrating, and tackling hyperpigmentation. Skin Types: Much like snail mucin, wild yam root extract (phyto mucin) is great for all skin types, as it's gentle and hydrating.
* Panthenol - it is a humectant meaning it holds and binds water, and these properties mean that it is ideal when it comes to keeping water in the skin. It also works as an emollient which means it can moisturize and soothe the skin, as well as help, protect it from environmental factors and skin stresses.
* Lotus Root Extract - Lotus is high in Vitamin B and C, iron, and protein, all of which assist to keep the skin healthy and clean. Lotus contains antioxidants, alpha hydroxy acid, which exfoliates your skin gently while making it seem fresh and clean.

How to use :
1. Apply appropriate amount to entire face.
2. Top up every 2-3 hours when under sun.

This fragrance and essential oils free formula is suitable for sensitive skin too. I liked the product very much and would certainly recommend to my friends and family.
