So I just watched Hyram’s first product reveal video for his Retinol and Rainbow Algae serum! To me, it sounds pretty great and it’s so much better than his Selfless brand reveal video... there’s a lot of negative feedback on his brand reveal. What do you think of this product reveal video? Would you buy this product?

What do you think about Hyram’s first product: Retinol and Rainbow Algae Serum?

I love, love, love this product. This is my best skin care discovery in 2020! Yes, I know it’s already halfway through 2021 but I just started this account less than three months ago🤣

Let’s begin with the gorgeous packaging… it’s so pretty!!! I love the dreamy periwinkle and the bright yellow color combination. It’s relaxing and happy at the same time. I also love that the product comes with its own blue spatula for hygienic purposes. 

The first thing I noticed when opening this is the delicious smell! The brand says that this balm is free of synthetic fragrance. It gets its scent from rosewood oil and grapefruit peel oil. Considering how yummy this smells and the fact that it is a wash-off product, this is one of the rare times that I am ok with having essential oils in my skin care. 

This cleansing balm has the smoothest, sorbet-like texture. It just glides on and melts away oil-based impurities, like excess sebum, sunscreen, and makeup. It doesn’t emulsify as much as other oil-based cleansers but it just feels so luxurious. It also washes off clean, no oily or greasy residue. 

Formulated with seaberry oil, persimmon extract, olive oil, and Vitamin E, these ingredients have anti-aging and anti-inflammatory properties. They also soften,  nourish, protect, and brighten skin. This balm is vegan, cruelty-free, and formulated without mineral oil, alcohol, silicone, parabens, and artificial coloring. 

This multi-awarded cleansing balm is definitely worth all the hype and the steep price! I love it, I’m obsessed with it, I can’t get enough of it. 💙💛💙

However, it must be mentioned that Beauty of Joseon has had issues in the past with regard to the quality of the ginseng that they use. So even if this product contains a lot of ginseng, the ginseng used here may not be as potent or effective.

But considering that this Ginseng Essence Water is much more affordable than other ginseng products, this may be a good product for young adults in their twenties who are both budget-conscious and don’t need the most active form of ginseng. However, if you have more mature skin, it might be worth the investment to purchase a more potent ginseng product.

This watery essence is so lightweight and hydrating. It is easily absorbed by the skin and it leaves no sticky residue whatsoever. It was very enjoyable to use 🤎

This product is formulated with 80% ginseng root water plus ginseng extracts. Ginseng is known to improve circulation, boost collagen production, fight skin aging, balance oil production, calm irritation, and improve hyperpigmentation. It is also a powerful anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory. 

Aside from ginseng, this product also contains brightening ingredients, such as Niacinamide and Licorice Root Extract. I definitely noticed the brightening effect of this essence 🤎

It is also formulated without artificial fragrances, parabens, sulfates, alcohol, essential oils, and silicone.

Even the bland packaging, stinky sulphuric smell, stinging sensation, and the high price are not enough for me to deduct a star. The results speak for themselves.

Lotion P50V from @biologique_recherche gets 5&#47;5stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

THIS!!! 🙌🏻 One of the few products where I saw a clear improvement overnight!!! Whenever I have random red bumps on my skin, I use the P50V on them and they’re gone after a few days! 🤩

From all the variants, I chose P50V because it’s for more mature skin. It helps prevent premature lines and wrinkles. This variant also brightens and moisturizes so it’s great for dry skin too!

Since they only focus on one main ingredient, you dont get a lot of different benefits from their products.

ONE THING is a K-beauty brand that focuses on one ingredient per product. The products here are made with 100% pure botanical extract. They do not use any chemical preservatives or additives. The products are also vegan, cruelty-free, and alcohol free. 

CENTELLA ASIATICA EXTRACT
Centella Asiatica needs no introduction. It soothes skin and reduces irritation. This product is very lightweight. It was quickly absorbed by my skin with no stickiness or residue.

Very sad that this product is pricier in my country AND the set where we can try the whole line is out of stock :(

The Vinoperfect Radiance Serum Complexion Correcting from @caudalie gets 5&#47;5stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had never heard of Caudalie before and I only chose this sample because it was the one available when I checked out my @sephora order! 🛍 

A quick Google search told me that it’s supposed to improve the appearance of dark spots, promote even skintone, and boost radiance. Since my main skin care concerns are dull skin, some spots, and uneven skintone, the product seemed perfect for me! But I didn’t expect much since I wasn’t familiar with this brand. 🍇 

Now that I’ve finished the sample, I am obsessed!!! This small sample lightened my dark spots and brightened my skin! So impressed! Can’t wait to see what this can do with long-term use! ⭐️
