What products contain this dark spot lightning ingredient?

Tranexamic acid

I hear a lot about Hanacure but is it worth the hype and the waiting list?

Hanacure, to buy or not to buy?

• I wish the information printed on the packaging was in a larger font, its hard to find your lanuage amoung the others in that small print. 
• An explanation of the benefits would definitely be appreciated. 

*I received the product for free from Picky and COXIR in exchange for my honest review. 
• Packaging: The product is packaged in a plastic squeeze tube with plastic lid. The outer package is cardboard. 
• Ingredient call outs: Snail Secretion Filtrate, Adenosine, Aloe Vera and Honey Extract, Black Soybean Extract, Copper Tripeptide-1, and Hydrolyzed Collagen 
• I love that for the size (30 ml) you can use the cream on both eyes and face! It can be used twice daily, morning and night. 
• The formula is nearly opaque in color. There is a slight tackiness after application that quickly vanishes. There is a faint scent, likely from ingredients used. I immediately notice my skin is very moisturized and hydrated. Areas where I applied the cream are supple and more youthful in appearance. The cream does not leave skin feeling heavy or greasy looking. 

• This isnt water resistant, so if you plan on being in the water or sweat heavily in the face I would use another product. 
• There is a cooling sensation that subsides within 30 minutes or so. People that don't want that feeling should use another product. 
• I would like to know about the ingredients from printed information on the package. What are the benefits? What is giving sun protection?

   I enjoyed using this product because it felt like I wasn't wearing sun protection. Also it didnt give my skin a discolored appearance and it didn't make me look greasy.
   The product has a unique cooling sensation upon application that lasts about 30-45 minutes. It's a nice feeling to experience as your finish getting ready for the day, especially if its hot outdoors. 
   The sun protector doesn't have a strong scent. Every once in awhile I thought I could catch a hint of something botanical that was pleasant.


The box didn't contain an English translation. I had to Google and visit the brands site to learn about this product. Having English directions and usage information would be greatly appreciated. 

I love how this essence reduces sebum and sweeps away dead skin. Uses 4 ingredients to nourish and moisturize skin: fermented bean, barley, pomegranate and pear juice. 
The formula is slippery in consistency. It is easy to apply onto skin, with total absorption taking less than 2 minutes. 
The product contains no dyes, synthetics, or perfume. The formula is yellowish-clear in color with an oil-like appearance. It has no scent which was pleasantly surprising. 

I wish the usage directions and ingredient list were featured on the bottle itself, because many times I throw the packaging away. Also a switch to glass bottle would be better recycling wise.

"Madagascar Centella Tone Brightening Boosting Toner"

  The first ingredient listed is Centella Asiatica (90%)! They aren't playing games. Niacinamide is also listed at number three. I love how they are using ingredients proven to brighten skin that are not problematic. Those with scent sensitivities will be relieved to know this is unscented.  
   After my first use I noticed my skin felt smooth and supple, I was impressed. With continued usage I found my dark acne marks were getting just a little fainter. My oily skin loves this toner.


   My only finding is that the formula contains SNAIL SECRETION FILTRATE which makes it not suitable for vegan lifestyle practitioners.

   I love that the toner contains Snail Secretion Filtrate (first ingredient listed!), Niacinamide, Aloe Vera, Bee Venom (last ingredient listed), and SIX peptides!    

•Snail Secretion Filtrate (SSF) is a mix of proteins, enzymes, hyaluronic acid, copper peptides, iron, zinc, and proteoglycans. It contains hydrating characteristics that serve to strengthen the skin barrier and keep moisture in. SSF can help fight premature skin aging, and help wounds heal. 

• Peptides are important because they can penetrate the outer layer of the skin. They send signals to other cells. Benefits peptides can have in skincare include: improved skin barrier, reduced wrinkles, more skin elasticity, reduce inflammation, and clear breakouts.

   The toner is dermatologist and Non-comedogenic  tested. It is pH-balanced leaning on the slightly acidic side. The product is watery in consistency. It is lightweight and feels cool on the skin. It absorbs quickly into skin, leaving it hydrated and soothed.
   I love this toner because it contains SSF as the first ingredient, has powerful peptides that aid in collagen production, barrier health, and has bontanicals that aid in hydration, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, and balancing the skin. Its perfect for layering and tackling multiple skin concerns in one product. 
   Its suitable for sensitive skin as it is volatile alcohol free, thickner free, artificial fragrance and color free, and 20 Cautious ingredients free.
   The packaging has detailed information on the materials used in the packaging of the product and how to recycle it. I was happy to learn that while they didn't use glass to house the toner they did use 100%  Post Consumer Recycled PET, 100% bamboo paper, and soy ink to print. They have reduced usage of single use plastics and the use of metal in their pumps which means easier recycling without separation.
    I'm pleased to announce Benton Cosmetic's Toner an   Outstanding Toner for Multiple Skin Concerns 🏅🏅🏅
