Kaynox profile picture
I have been using this for a while now and love it. It feels a bit sticky at first when you apply it, but it absorbs nicely. It does plump my skin a bit and softens fine lines. I apply moisturizer on after it and my face never feels dry all day. I wo...

This serum has been such a good addition to my routine. It gives me that instant hydrated, plump feeling and really helps calm down the dry patches I usually get around my forehead. I also like that it has ceramides now because my skin feels stronger...
Soothing & Barrier Support Serum
 
Kaynox profile picture
If I were rating it, I’d give it 5/5. It’s become a staple in my routine because it does a lot without being heavy or irritating. If your skin is already pretty healthy, this helps it look smoother, more elastic, and more radiant. If you’re just star...
Multi-Peptide + HA Serum

If you’re looking for something to help with puffiness under your eyes, this is one of the better affordable serums I’ve tried. It gives a nice, subtle refresh, and the antioxidant boost is a bonus. I will probably keep using it.
Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG

I’d say this is a solid serum if you’re starting to see fine lines and want something gentle yet effective. I’d use it nightly, pair it with a good moisturizer, and protect your skin from the sun that combo seems to make it work better.
Argireline Solution 10%
 
Kaynox profile picture
This serum is a great “beginner-friendly” retinoid. It’s lightweight, absorbs quickly, and gives me smoother, more even skin without the usual dryness or peeling. Results take a few weeks and it’s an easy way to add retinoids to your routine.
Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion

A lightweight, antioxidant-packed serum that brightens and evens skin tone. With vitamin C and ginseng, it helps fade dark spots and adds a healthy glow. Affordable, easy to use, and perfect for anyone starting a skincare routine.

I’ve been using The Ordinary GF 15% Solution (Growth Factors Serum) for several weeks and I’m really impressed. It’s a clean, water-based formula that feels light on the skin and absorbs quickly. The Ordinary I’ve noticed smoother texture, a bit more...

I’ve been using The Ordinary PHA 5% Exfoliating Lip Serum for a couple of weeks, and it really works! My lips feel smoother and less flaky without any harsh scrubbing. It gives a light tingle at first, but nothing uncomfortable. I love that it’s vega...
PHA 5% Exfoliating Lip Serum

Moisturiser

 
Kaynox profile picture
The texture is like rich moisturizer and there’s no noticeable scent. It took quite a long time to absorb and fully sink in, maybe more than 30 minutes. Since it sits on the surface for too long, I decided to move this to night routine. That said, I ...
