COSRX Hydrium Watery Toner: Lightweight, fast absorption and moisturizing are 3 words how I would describe this toner. B5 aka panthenol is they key ingredient in this formulation. It is moisturizing and has a regenerating effect that is safe for acne and sensitive skin. I am most amazed at the 13 ingredients list which does not contain alcohol. What it does contain are lots and lots of hydration and moisture from hydraulic acid to glycerin. Best of all, it is hypoallergenic, dermatologist tested, cruetly free, parabens free, sulfate free, mineral oil free, and artificial fragrance free.
.
COSRX did not misnamed this product as a Watery Toner. It truly looks and feels like water. I had so much trouble trying to capture the texture shot as it just rolls off my hand. Once you tab it in 2-3 times, it completely disappears in your skin and leaves your skin feeling protected. The hydration and moisture has be locked and seal. Totally light weight and non tacky. I love that it is available in a small or large bottle providing customer to try it without full commitment. This also make it travel friendly and affordable. I also did not detect a scent on this protect and truly feels like water to me. I am looking forward to trying more COSRX skincare in the near future.

The Face Shop Real Nature Green Tea face mask was a great, effective hydrating and soothing sheet mask. It's been a hot minute since I have used The Face Shop mask not because of any particular reason. They still have thicker paper quality sheet as always but soaked in serum. I had about 1 tablespoon of serum left after pulling the mask out. I definitely saw an how it calm down my irritated skin and I didn't even know my skin was stressed. I would repurchase this and have it in stash to provide instant soothing at an affordable price. -

Many of you had asked me on my thoughts on The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors+ HA. This cream is made with multiple amino acids, ceramides, glycerin and hyaluronic acid to just name a few of the components. It is vegan, alcohol free, oil free, silicone free and cruelty free. .
Swipe left to see a texture shot. This is a THICCCC cream that you can easily warm up in your hands. I slowly pat the product into the skin and absorb nicely. However, it does not for oily skin during warm days. I do end up looking like a grease ball. I would say it is a good night time cream to lock in all your serums. Totally affordable and comes in 2 sizes 30 mL and 100 mL. It does not set off my sensitive skin but it doesn't help it either. I may not be repurchasing this unless I need a good cream to lock in all my skincare steps.

Mediheal Kiwi Apple-ade Mask was a gift from somewhere. Sorry, I didn't keep track of where or whom gave it to me. This sheet mask contains apple and kiwi fruit extract mainly providing moisture and smoothing properties. It targets pore care and clearing.
This mask does not come with a separator and it is thicker than most sheet masks that I have used. The Tencel natural cellulose sheet is embossed with a unique pattern. It was easy to separate and adhere with ease. Not much serum left in the pouch once you have removed the mask from the packaging. It left it on for over 15 minutes and is still completely moist.
Overall, my face felt calmed and very hydrated. My acne and pores looked the same. I woke up feeling the same. There is a slight scent to this mask which kind of remembers me cleaners. It was not irritating to me so I am okay with it. All in over, I would rate this 3 stars/5. Possibly repurchase as a simple hydration mask.

I am almost done my Frudia Green Grape Pore Control Toner. The packaging from Frudia was what captured my attention. Looks like a milk bottle or yogurt is dripping down the bottle. their whole line are pastel color theme so what is there not to love. This contains 89% green grape extract and it smells like green grape but in a Japanese candy kind of way. The targeted function is pore and sebum care creating a smooth and moisturized skin. Geared towards oily to combination skin.
My experience was on certain days my T zone got very oily while on other days I was completely fine. I really enjoy the scent of the product kind of brighten up my mood. My cheeks tends to have some enlarged pores and it does appear to be smaller. This toner is also at a very affordable which is a plus. Due to certain oily days, I would try another lines in this brand maybe better suited for me

Thank you for for Laneige for gifting me the Water Pocket Sheet Mask in exchange for my honest opinion. My skin was started perched and dry keep within the layers. It was also getting a little oily during mid day. I know my skin is a bit dehydrated again. I decided to reach for this and putting it through to the real test.
This sheet mask is designed non-slip woven with pockets of water bank serum. Some of the benefits of this mask includes skin relief, Clear C, Sparkling Water, Water Bank, Water Sleeping Mask and Time Freeze. These are some of the most famous technology in Laneige skincare line. In short, it soothes, firms and hydrates deep layer which makes this a longer term than your regular sheet mask.
I left this on for 20 minute as instructed and I felt that dry perch sensation dissipating. My skin was left glowing, fully hydrated for days and pores were minimized. I would repurchased this in the future. It is at a steeper price point than some of my regular recommendations. I do think it is justified with all the patent technology put into this 1 single sheet mask.

Laneige Heating & Clean Duo is a 2 step spot treatment system. Step 1 is a clear thicker gel that warms up on your face troubled area. Instruction said to gently massage it on for 10-15 minutes which only warms up a little bit. it is rather sticky to touch while massaging this. I went to wash this off before I began the next step.
Step 2 is Cacao Walnut Clay Mask that you leave on you face till it completely dry. I did layered heavily on open cystic acne but even after 30 minutes it did not dry. Try to be even with the application not to go too thin or too thick. I did not feel any grains when applying this to my face. I used a muslin cloth with lukewarm water to wipe off my face which cleaned off with ease.
Both tubes have applicators for easy application. I do love that it is a squeeze tube for hygiene purposes. I can also easily clean the applicators with rubbing alcohol need be. Down side of tube 1, it leaked. It does come with stand for the 2 tubes to sit applicator down. Be careful storing these items. Final verdict, my active acne looks less inflamed and angry. It even looks a little deflated if you ask me. You do feel a slight ting on open cystic acne and shows similar effect as the active one. Overall the side that I spot treated more, does appear to be brighter. However, I prefer Lanegie mud mask more so I would just purchase a jar of that instead. The warming element was rather cool.

I was kindly gifted the am+pm skincare super tripe HA hydrating mask in exchange of my honest opinion. Initially, my face was stinging and a little tight from dehydration. This mask was mainly in Chinese so I couldn't get much details on it. It is This mask contains 3 types of molecules size of hyaluronic acids which allows it to penetrate the multiple layers of skin. Targeted towards dry and dehydrated skin.
The quality of paper was the normal but there was many slits on the mask. It did take some work for me to get the bubbles out. This mask was packed with serum but I had to reapply the serum back onto the sheet mask.
There are no real scent while using this which I appreciated. I immediately felt relieve from the tightness without any irritation. The mask was still very moist after leaving it on for 20 minutes. My face's pores looked smaller and skin was more hydrated. The redness also seem to disappeared. My face reminds the same state when I woke up and was less oily the next day. I would totally repurchase this and was effective with hydration.

Decléor Hydra Floral 24 hr hydrating light cream smells like you walked into a spa. I want to sniff it all day. It is targeted for dehydrated skin made with Neroli essentials oils. I do have to say my sensitive skin doesn’t agree too much with this. The cream is a super watery type of cream but packed with hydration. I feel like this is better for drier to normal skin type which may be the reason why my skin doesn’t agree with it. -
