I love love the formulations of Korean and Japanese sunscreens. They’re lightweight and no white cast. However, I always look TOO glowy after!  

What products would you recommend for oily-skin types?

Korean/Japanese Sunscreens for Oily-skin types?

Hi all! I just wanted to know if there are any Canadians here who use Stylevana to purchase skincare products. I just placed an order and was wondering how long shipping usually takes and if there are any duties/taxes to pay off? 

Thank you so much in advance . ❤️

Super interested on what to avoid especially reading ingredient list. It can be overwhelming at times!

I always find it so hard to reapply spf throughout the day. I wear makeup due to my workplace and I always feel like my makeup is so cakey and oily when I reapply.

Here’s my long awaited review on the NEWEST launch by @klairs.global — ALL-DAY AIRY SUNSCREEN with SPF 50+ PA++++☀️

• Parsol XL: UVB protection 
• Octyltriazone: UVB protection and highest photostability
• Tinosorb S: broad spectrum UVA & UVB

Key ingredients ✨

• Soothing: Panthenol, Allantonin, Aloe Vera, Licorice — also brightening
— alcohol-free, fragrance-free, essential oil-free, cruelty-free, and vegan! 🌱 

My thoughts/experience 🙋‍♀️
• New fave alert! Super lightweight and airy (truly like what the packaging says), blends like a dream with ZERO white cast, water gel based, no scent, with a beautiful but not so crazy dewy finish. My skin feels so hydrated and moisturized plus it’s great under makeup. So far what I learned is to not use heavy moisturizers before applying this because of my oily skin and pilling being a water-gel based spf with a silicone-based sunscreen agent.  Overall, I’m so in love with this new sunscreen. I hope you all can give it a try because It’s truly amazing. ✨

It might be clogging for oily skin types! However I personally did not experience this or any breakouts. 

I received this product for free from Picky and PURITO in exchange for my honest review. 

What is it? 
Made for weakened skin barrier, this moisturizer is formulated with 5 different types of ceramides to provide soothing and calming effects on the skin. Added skin replenishing ingredients include: allantoin & squalane.
— fragrance-free, essential-oil free, silicone-free, cruelty-free, vegan 🌱

💭 Review time: 
— What a thicc cream! I typically stay away from moisturizers like this but I was intrigued by the great ingredients meant for strengthening the skin barrier. I found it quite moisturizing for my skin type (maybe a little too much 🤣). Even though it is quite thick, it blends out really smoothly and definitely locks in moisture. My skin feels nourished and smooth in the morning. There’s no distinct smell since it is fragrance-free. I appreciate the airless pump and how much amount you get from this. So far, I can only use it a few times a week during the night and times when my skin barrier needs some TLC. It does contain shea butter which can clog pores for oily skin types but I did not experience this. Overall, I actually don’t know if it’s worth it for the price which is $25~ I have tried better skin barrier repairing creams for less with more skin benefits!

💬 Would you give this moisturizer a try?

@theskinhouse_official Vital Snail Cream 🐌🍊✨

I received this product just a few days ago so I can only do first impressions! 😭

Key Highlights ✨
— 90% Snail Secretion Filtrate: (100% cruelty-free obtained) for rapid cell renewal and boost tissue repair.
— Marine Collagen: to delay signs of aging
— Adenosine: to energize the skin and improve the look of wrinkles 
— Niacinamide: to brighten skin, anti-acne, cell renewing and moisturize 
• cruelty, paraben, alcohol free!

First Impressions ✨
— Texture was quite sticky/slimy/stretchy due to the snail mucin as expected! 
— The little red beads melt once it is applied on the skin. Feels tacky upon application and takes time to absorb, but my skin feels hydrated and supple afterwards.
— A little scooper/spoon would have been a great add on for mess-free application. 
—  Be aware of the natural fragrances and essential oil in here (mandarin orange and litsea cubeba fruit oil) although the scent fades right away. 
— I think the cream is great for most skin types except those who are super sensitive to essential oils/fragrance! I wouldn’t rely on this for anti-aging but definitely for hydrating thirsty skin and brightening the skin over consistent use!

May be too gentle for some! It is great retinol for starters


Claims:
— reduce appearance of pores/post-acne marks
— restores skin barrier
— improve skin texture

Key Ingredients:
• Niacinamide (anti-acne, brightening, cell renewing, moisturizer/humectant) 
• Phytosphingosine (anti-acne, anti-bacterial, cell renewing)
• Retinol (% not mentioned, skin smoother, anti-acne, cell renewal, control sebum production) 
• 3 types of ceramides (skin barrier protection and hydration)
• Sodium Hyaluronate (moisturizer/humectant)
• Licorice (soothing, anti-inflammatory properties)
— fragrance & essential oil free!

My Experience: 
— Usage: night time 3 weeks. She’s a gentle yet effective serum! I was afraid of having skin irritation but due to the key ingredients mentioned, I haven’t had any. The skin absorbs this serum quickly with no tacky feeling (my oily skin loves this) I always make sure to layer a heavier moisturizer on top! As for results, I have seen improvement on my skin texture, minimize the look of large pores and keep my pimples at bay. What more after 6-8weeks? 😍 I highly recommend this serum to those with oilier skin types for sure. Dry skin peeps can definitely use this as well! Just be sure to start slow (3x a week max until your skin can adjust to the retinol) and lather your face with a moisturizing cream first before this serum to create a barrier! Also, DON’T FORGET TO WEAR/REAPPLY YOUR SUNSCREEN during the day to prevent sensitivity to UV/efficacy of the product! 

the smell can be off putting but if you can get through it, it’s absolutely a HG status!



Here’s my take on the @topicals FADED Serum for Dark Spots and Discolouration ✨

What is it? 🤔
• Hyperpigmentation-safe serum that improves the look of  discolouration, post-acne marks and scars. Made for everyone and all skin tones.
— vegan, gluten, alcohol, fragrance and cruelty-free
— suitable for normal, dry, combo and oily skin

Key ingredients ✨
- Tranexamic Acid
- Niacinamide
- Azelaic Acid
- Kojic Acid
- Melatonin
- Licorice Root
• These ingredients visibly brightens the skin tone, minimize discolouration, post acne marks (PIH & PIE), uneven skin tone and also improves skin clarity.

My experience:
• I absolutely love this serum. From my past experiences, my skin has benefited from these star ingredients separately. Therefore, having all of these in one serum just makes it even more amazing! Texture is lightweight and has a dewy finish. I’m not going to lie, the smell put me off from using it consistently. Once I got used to the scent, I’ve been seeing some promising results. It’s definitely not overnight but after 2 weeks of use (3-4x a week), my stubborn acne-marks have faded tremendously. My skin tone looks a lot more even as well. I’m so excited to see even better results after a full month! 🥺😍
