Hi guys I wanted to motivate everyone, so i hope you can help me too by sharing your skin before and after as well as your stories!

Hi im ira also known as sammieskin in Instagram. I'm from Philippines and I've started reviewing skincare right about 3 years ago when acne hit me bad - it was the worse I ever had I'd say.

Most of my breakouts would be on my jawline and forehead and a bit on upper cheek. Tbh I lost my confidence and told my sister I was broke, fat and why tf is my skin not even cooperating. 😭

Anyways attached my before and after skin. Tbh im so happy with my looong journey. There were so many ups and downs, and so much good and bad products out there. My hope is you'd be able to also find your holy grail products and you also get to enjoy trying every other skincare products that there is ❤️

And incase you're wondering, cosrx and klairs (i bought from wishtrend) were my first ever skincare brand. I'm happy I trusted these 2 that became the foundation of my good skin today ❤️

So hey, what's your story? :)

skincare before and after

Hey babes! Just wanna ask, what is your fave skincare texture - may it be gel, cream, thich serums, oils, water like serums or anything!! Hope to see all your shares ❤️

Oh and please include the product and why that texture wins your heart!!

Heres mine, since my skin is oily to combi, i love gel type moisturizers! They easily glide and easily absorbed by my skin! Usually most of them are really light weight which has always been perfect for acne prone, oily skin and the summery hot weather 🔥

I do have other thick ones that i love but im quite bias and lean towards these most of the time ❤️

Hi guys I'm new here and I'm looking for my instagram friends 😂 well I'd be honest I don't know how gopicky works yet I'm just reviewing those products I've tried on my free time - well comment below here and I'll add you/ friend's as mutuals here in gopicky! 

Also, shameless plug pls support my IG: sammieskin ❤️

let's be mutuals!

Nothing bad about this! I&#39;m inlove and I seriously wanna review the new gel version of it

After a long tiring day, most of us just longs for a relaxing night (right?) and one of the things i do enjoy doing is using my masks. Clay masks, which are known to be detoxifying can be a bit drying for some, but trust me, axisy_official mugwort clay mask is just the right balance to it. 

This mugwort clay mask contains 61% mugworth extract that is good as anti inflammatory and antifungal, and adzuki bean granules for its mild exfoliating. It has a creamy texture and hint of herbal scent (i love it btw - reminds of chinese meds lol) 

I love using this mask after doing my 2 step cleansing (oil and soap cleanser). I simple spread a thin layer of the clay mask and let it sit on my skin for 15-20 mins. During the 15-20 i usually spray it with face mist so the clay wouldn&#39;t completely dry out. 

Hmm, that sounded weird right? Well, i found out that clay masks shouldnt completely dry out just to completely maximize it. It can still perform and suck out the dirt and oil from your skin while not letting it completly harden like a cement. 

After 15-20 mins. I wet my hands and slowly massage the clay mask that is on my face. Slowly massage it and let the mask soften on your skin before fully washing it off. The adzuki beans can be a bit of a mess and hard to take off - remember patience is a virtue 😉

Here are some of my fave tips: 
☑️ Sometimes i add oil (i love using cosrx vit e) to make it more hydrating. 
☑️ You can also add teatree if youre trying to treat some pimples as spot treatment.

It&#39;s all good with this product. Just not accessible worldwide

🎃 Superfood AHA Glow Cleansing Butter
Contains AHA’s pumpkin enzymes which will gently slough away dead skin cells to reveal a brighter and smoother skin. It’s still very mild so it’s fine to use all over the eye area with no irritation at all. Along side pumpkin, it also contains Acerola Cherry, Mango Butter and Chia Seed Oil. 
It has buttery and gel-like texture and smooths onto the skin so easily, its a complete pleasure to apply + I&#39;ve also noticed that it is fragrance-free. Following the Elemis instructions, you can use it in either of 3 ways: makeup removal, daily cleanser and a mask.

I dint really think there&#39;s anything that I didnt like about this product.

Good for day and night use because it doesnt make my face feel dry nor oily throughout and it leaves a sheen that makes your face looks healthy and glowy. I&#39;d repurchase this cos it&#39;s not as expensive and its a safe bet to use everyday whatever your skin condition is since its light and non-irritating!

Compared to other AHA toners, i may say that this is way lighter than the others. However it works both ways - its mild and can be used by sensitive skin and since its mild, you can use it more than 2-3x a week (in my opinion) 

This product literally made my skin very clear and smooth! 

Started day 1 of trying frankly AHA toner and Frankly closer pore serum May 07, 2023 and my skin obviously has a lot of dark marks from previous pimples as well as bumps since my skin back then was not smooth.

Observations/ insight/ thoughts:
💜 AHA toner is very watery and got absorbed by my skin super fast. The closer serum however was a bit more viscous and gives a sticky texture once you spread it already.
💜 Usually you wouldn’t want to use AHA on a daily basis however this product is said to be “mild/gentle” so i had to push my limits to using it on a daily basis together with the serum (that can be used everyday)
💜 Since ive been using it on a daily basis, i also increased my hydrating product usage as well

So will i continue with the product? Yes! I would say the toner and serum gave really good effects but i would never say it “closed” my pores but definitely made it look less visible - plus my skin really improved so much based on overall appearance and texture.

Do note that "results may vary" but i do encourage you guys to try rather than nothing at all 💜🫶🏻 

The only bad things I&#39;ve noticed is that, 1. It can be a bit sticky but once you&#39;ve applied your moisturizer or next product, you can cover the stickyness. And 2. The price is quite expensive 1 oz &#47; 30ml is 68usd. But whatever, I&#39;m letting them take away my money cos I bought my 2nd bottle already 😂😂

Im inlove with the energy of @youthtothepeople &#39;s vit c ☕

If youve been following my vit C review series, few of the things i hate about vit C would be:
1. Oxidation
2. Color it leaves on your skin after application
3. Sticky feeling or too oily
So far, this vit C doesnt have these 3 + so much more benefits over it. 
* Incase you&#39;re interested, ive made a summary of my vit C reviews &amp; you can find it on my highlights under short review 😉

YTTP 15% vit C + clean caffeine energy serum is made with squalane and dragon fruit to hydrate + Vit C to brighten your skin. The serum isnt sticky at all and has a serum light light texture that i confirm everyone would love and scent is close to a ginger like citrus mix that will definitely give you a fresh feeling as well.

Ive just finished 1 of my bottles and im on to my next, but id say with just on my 1st day of trial i already saw the difference. I love how this gives me that pump energized skin in just a matter of hours - evem giving me that whole day worth of rest even i havent slept. 

🤔 So do i recommend this?? 🤔
Honestly this serum is pricey, and ive tried a lot other vit C out there thay also works as well as being affordable. But after trying this out, i guess i made a new holy grail into my routine. Again, the price is the only thing i find to be hard, but if youre able to splurge, trust me this one really is a must more than anything.

6&#47;5 sammiestar 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 sammiestar i recommend this.
