There's an artificial fragrance (Limonene, Linalool) and essential (Bergamot Fruit) oil added. I personally think that this toner wouldn't really suitable for a very sensitive or sensitise skin because sometimes I feel small stings on my face wound, active acne and sensitive area like the side of my nose. 

This Licorice pH Balancing Cleansing Toner has a thin liquid consistency that's very watery and runny. 

This balancing and cleansing toner has a few type of surfactants, so it may foam up sometimes when I pat it on my face, especially when I use it too much.

Anyway, I love this toner because it's slightly hydrating and I feel my skin is prepped for the rest of my routine after using it at toner step. I prefer to pour this hydrating toner on my hand directly and pat it into my skin. I then repeat the process 4-7 more times. Applying this toner makes my skin feel refresh and alive (only way I can put it). The first few applications left me loving an immediate benefit and dewy skin look. Sometimes I find myself overusing this toner, just to get an extra hit of that hydration. 

My acne scars, blemishes and hyperpigmentation still there, but I've noticed a more glow, healthy looking skin with brighter complexion. It can turn around dull skin and leave behind more radiant, supple skin. The effect isn't as speedy as a pure vitamin C, but there's less irritation and I use it all the time when I have dull skin.

My skin did purge a bit when I firstly using it. 

Unlike other retinoid based product I've used in the past that's very thin or slightly watery (serum-like consistency), but this product comes in a cream-type formulation that's not that thick. It also my first time to use a retinal cream and I love its texture as it's nice, smooth and easy to spread. The application of this one is very straightforward, simple and doesn’t require too much effort.

There's no artificial fragrance and no essential oil added.

This night cream has a good amount of emollient and I really appreciate its silky-light through satiny-smooth (because of silicone based polymer) to a luxurious, rich finishing. Good as a stand-alone skincare product at night time routine. 

This has zero artificial scent for those who are sensitive and it doesn't irritate my skin at all. But it does smell chemically and most probably it comes from its own ingredients. 

I've been using a retinol and bakuchiol product before trying this, so I didn't experience any irritation, dryness, redness or peeling with this night cream (contains 300ppm retinal, 10000 ppm bakuchiol). But there's a little purging on my T-zone area. 

It certainly took a couple of weeks up to a few months to see an improvement, but over time I noticed that my skin just felt a bit smoother, less textured and surprisingly, a little better moisturised after using this product nightly. So the results were great, but it took a bit longer to get. 

While I end up really appreciating hydrating and dewy this serum makes my skin look after application, it doesn't really provide much in the way of hyperpigmentation reduction. The brightening effect that it provides seem a bit short lived. Meaning I doesn’t see a noticeable improvement after using it for only about 2-3 weeks, so I'll need to use it longer to see the brightening effect of this serum. 

Hello all!

The product I'm going to introduce today is the Symwhite 377 Dark Spot Serum from @skintificofficial✨

As the name suggest, this serum contains a few of good ingredients like Niacinamide and Tranexamic Acid that can help to reduce melanin production, protect against free radical damage and minimise our dark spots. This serum also using a SymWhite 377 (INCI: Phenylethyl Resorcinol), an ingredient that is inspired from pinosylvin, a natural skin brightening compound occurring in pine. 

This niacinamide based serum has a thin, runny texture with low viscosity. It's moist, but flows in a row almost like a water and for me, it feels more hydrating than their 10% Niacinamide Brightening Serum. Whenever I apply this Symwhite 377 serum, it gives me a slightly moist glow and in dry weather like these days, I need to pay more attention to moisturise the inside of my skin, so it is a perfect product for an oily skin type like me 😀

There is no fragrance here and the cosmetic scent is very mild and dissipates quickly. Moreover, I really love its texture, it feels more comfortable on the skin as it doesn’t pill, ball up, no soapy or no foamy like certain niacinamide serum. This serum also beneficial for our pore as I notice my skin feels nicer to touch and becomes smoother with less tiny bumps ✨
