I received this Vitamin E Calming Ampoule for free in exchange for my honest review 🌱🌱

✅ Claims: calms irritation and soothes redness

✅ Star Ingredients: Tea Tree Extract, Allantoin, Glycerin, Tocopherol, Madecassoside, Tea Tree Oil

I was so excited when I got the item. COMMONLABS also gave a very generous sets of samples. The product is in a green clear bottle with a dropper (30ml) and 12 month PAO. The ampoule has a green color, clear, and has a slightly runny texture. It also has a strong (maybe subjective to the user) tea tree scent.

My experience:
I apply the ampoule on damp skin after my toner. I use 2 to 4 drops (depends on how irritated my skin is) and it easily dries on my skin. It's also not sticky. Then, I put my moisturizer.

Before I started using this product, I used to have small and itchy zits on my jaw area, usually during my period. But those disappeared after I use this every night!

After three weeks of consistent use, my face really calmed down. I notice less breakouts than I did the previous months (of course, there's my usual routine from cosrx, innisfree, the ordinary, and illiyoon) and reduce redness on my cheek and forehead.

Cons: It has a strong tea tree scent (strong for me) when you apply it on your face, but it goes away after a few seconds as the serum dries. It also has tea tree oil so it's not for people who are sensitive to that ingredient. I am used to products with tea tree oil so maybe that's why I didn't have bad reaction to it. It is also pricey for me (in peso). I wouldn't have been able to try this if not for the giveaway so thank you, COMMONLABS!

✅ Would I repurchase? Definitely! I'll save money for this 😍

[Review] COMMONLABS Vitamin E Calming Ampoule

Hi people! I would love to hear your insights on this 

I do my morning routine at 8am before work. Around 6pm my face is already very oily and disgusting (lol but true) so after I take my night bath, I use a cleansing balm to remove the sunscreen and dirts on my face but I usually stop there and wait until 8pm to use a cleanser and do the rest of my routine. I just feel like doing my night routine at 6:30 or 7 pm is just too early when I go to sleep at 10 or 11pm. 

What do you think? And at what time do you do your skin care at night?

Is there such a thing as too early for skin care?

I won the COMMONLAB's Vitamin E Ampoule giveaway 😄 I'm really looking forward to using this to calm the redness on my face and I've read many good reviews. I don't really post reviews on products that I've used on Instagram so let's see how well I will do it 😁

Any other winners?

I won my first giveaway!

After some delay, the giveaway item finally arrived! Thank you again, COMMONLABS and Picky! I'm so excited to add this to my night routine especially since recently, I got several small but itchy zits that are driving me crazy 😟😟 Hope this works for me 😊😊

Have you tried this product? How was it for you?

COMMONLABS Vit E Ampoule finally arrived

I was chosen for the recent giveaway of By Wishtrend. I already received the product almost 2 weeks ago but Picky did not send an email regarding its deadline. Any other winner of the giveaways here... can you tell me the deadline? Thank you!

By Wishtrend Green Tea & Enzyme Powder Wash Deadline

💫 Cons: The product transfers especially when used on the lips so you have to reapply it. The product is pricey for people on a budget like me. But definitely worth a splurge if you can. The MV05 BOSS simply doesn't match my skintone but I still enjoyed using it.

I received the RS04 Memories and MV05 Boss variants.

💫 Packaging: My first time to have a lipstick in a circular glass so that's interesting.

💫 Formula: Just like its name, the pudding pot is really soft on the lip and cheeks when applied. It feels airy, smooth, and lightweight, with a soft matte finish. It is also pigmented that a few goes a long way. It lasts throughout the day when applied on the cheeks but need reapplying for the lips. Unlike the 3D voluming gloss, this does not have any fragrance.

💫 Usage: The RS04 Memories is the one I like the most. Red lipsticks suit my skintone better so I used that one a lot. The MV05 Boss is also good but I'm just not very fond of mauve lips or blush.


Unfortunately it's a really expensive product for me as it retails at $33 dollars. 


By Wishtrend A-mazing Bakuchiol Night Cream

I received this product from By Wishtrend and Picky in exchange for my honest review.

🔸️Claims: a night cream with retinal and bakuchiol to help revitalize and smooth out uneven texture

🔸️Key Ingredients: Retinal 0.03%, Bakuchiol 0.1%, Niacinamide, Beta-Glucan, Ceramide, Centella Asiatica Extract

🔸️Packaging: it came in a purple box and purple bottle with a neon yellow airless pump. I love it cause it doesn't let the product get contact with air. It has a 12M PAO

🔸️Texture and Scent: the texture is a light cream that spreads easily. I got worried about the neon color tho because it stays on your skin for a while but it also disappears after spreading the product well. It doesn't have a scent which is good.

🔸️ My experience: I am relatively a beginner with Vit A products. Although, it should be noted that retinal and retinol are different. Retinal only needs one step to become Retinoic Acid while Retinol needs two. I started using a beginner-friendly retinol product in December last year, that's why I didn't feel the need to do a patch test when I tried this night cream. And thankfully there was no irritation.

I have been using this for 3 weeks. I use 2 pea-sized amounts for my face and neck twice a week at night after serums. I apply it on dry face to lessen irritation. Then I let it dry for around 5 minutes before I apply a hydrating moisturizer.

I was so excited to finally be able to use a product from By Wishtrend because I have heard so many good reviews about the brand. However, they are not in my price range so I never got to try. 

This product is so nice. It's super beginner-friendly! Vit A products are typically drying but this one is very moisturizing. My friend also noticed that some of my dark spots lightened! Although, like I said I have been using a retinol product so it's hard to attribute that to just this night cream.


🔸️ Would I recommend it: yes if you are a retinol/vit a products beginner and not on a budget.

Nothing bad but I didn't notice the soothing effects of the mask but I also don't use this consistently so it is hard to say if it's not true

⚪ Claims: Low-irritating sheet mask that soothes your skin

⚪Key Ingredient: Pathesoside

⚪Packaging and Texture: The sachet is paper-like and you can easily rip off the top part to get the mask. The mask seems also made of paper

⚪ I use this sheet mask when I want extra hydration and moisture on my face. I leave it for 20 mins and apply the extra serum on my neck, chest, and arms because there's a lot of serum. After, I pat the serum on my skin for absorption. My face looks like glazed don't after my routine 😄

For people who do not like sunscreens with dewy finish, be cautious in trying this. Also not so budget friendly in my country's currency (php).

Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Watery Sun Gel

I received this product from Picky and Isntree for free for the second time in exchange for my honest reviews

⭐ Claims: replenishes moisture, no white cast, non-irrirating

⭐ Texture and scent: It has a lightweight creamy texture, runny than the Natural Sun Cream, fragrance-free

⭐ Packaging: Box made our of recycled paper, plastic tube, 12M PAO

⭐ My experience: Picky and Isntree were so generous to give not only 1, not only 2, but 4 products! I was so excited when I saw that each box contains 2 Watery Sun Gel. It's like Christmas all over again!

I used this continously for almost a month. I just love this sunscreen! It was so easy to apply and spread on your face. It has minimal scent that doesn't irritate my skin. I started skipping moisturizer occasionally since I used this product because it is also so hydrating. This is also fun to reapply because I don't feel sticky when doing so. 

⭐ Rate: 5/5 

⭐ Will I recommend this: of course! This is really worth the try!

I'm not a fan of the bottle. Maybe a pump or a dropper would make dispensing and controlling the amount much easier

🔸 Claims: A hydrating essence-toner that helps even out skin tone and reduce the appearance of blemishes.
🔸 Packaging: Comes in a clear bottle with a screw cap.
🔸 Texture & Scent: Thick like a serum, transparent, and fragrance-free.

💬 My Experience:
I’ve been using this toner day and night for two weeks, applying it right after cleansing. I wasn’t a fan of the packaging—personally, I think a pump or dropper would make dispensing and controlling the amount much easier.

I have really been enjoying the formula itself. It absorbs quickly and feels super lightweight, yet still leaves my skin hydrated and plump. There’s a noticeable glow after each use ✨

It might be too soon to see changes in hyperpigmentation, but so far, I'm enjoying the experience!
