This is a strong product y'all so take it easy. I would definitely repurchase this. I just didn't want to put something strong on my face more than a year after opening it so I didn't manage to finish it. This is a very good product especially if you take good care in managing your skin condition before applying.



🚥 I'll start off with saying this is MY favorite non-empty. I had to do a lot of reading & watching before I even attempted to put this on my face. This has a strong percentage of acids that I didn't want to risk anything going wrong when I applied it. 

I took my time with this; only applying 1-2x per month. I followed the instructions and listened carefully to my skin. Some days it worked, some days I compromised my skin barrier. Despite the roller-coaster, I saw the effects of this product and I'm a big fan. 🤩


Unfortunately, I'm giving this the boot. When I applied it at night, everything seemed good, but when I woke up in the mornings, redness was there & my skin was dry. This started happening after a few weeks of using this, that's why I stopped. 


🚥 I wanted to go the milder exfoliation route and tried a toner. I came across this product and thought the key ingredients were good. I thought it was both an AHA & BHA exfoliator so I bought it. 

I already had this when I read some reviews that it's mainly an AHA exfoliant. 😅 I didn't mind it at the beginning since this one didn't sting my skin. (The bottle comes in a pretty green shade BTW). 🥺

It's not really 'bad. Just a non-empty for me. It's been with me for almost 2 years now but only a third was consumed. Why? Because this is the only available size where I'm at.😅 And I read it's best to use skincare products that are opened within a year. 


the cult favorite Bioderma Sensiboo micellar makeup remover 500ml (pink) @biodermausa

🚥 I rarely wear eye makeup because my eyes are sensitive, but when I do, this product is my go-to remover. It doesn't sting my eyes & removes makeup well. 

This is definitely a repurchase & recommended item. Just because it's not emptied, doesn't mean it's not a good product.

Now that I'm a bit more knowledgeable of skincare and listening to my skin, this did not sit well with me at all. 😕 It dried my skin out, especially during cooler weather. As for the hot seasons, hydration is temporary and doesn't last long enough.

I'm not repurchasing at all and I don't have anything from the brand that I'm clamoring to buy yet. I'm not judging those who still remain loyal to the brand tho. U do U. 

one of the OG face mists many years back is Mario Badescu facial spray 118ml (aloe, cucumber, green tea) @mariobadescu

🚥 I remember buying this & the rose variant on impulse at Sephora Singapore. My BFF likes this mist as well and it didn't seem like she had any complaints back then. It's heavily scented and I didn't mind it when I first used it. 

This is a safe enough product for me but not enough to go crazy over it. If u don't want anything heavy during the summer, this will do. It just has too much product in it, of course I wouldn't be able to finish it.

I bought this as I was buying my second tube of its famous CC serum. It's a Vitamin C gel moisturizer. It's light but its texture is very gel-ish although not sticky. It blends well and is good for the summer.

I was trying out other products at the time I bought this so I had many things at hand. Instead of this being wasted, I used this as a summer neck moisturizer. 🌞 This has fragrance BTW.
