Even though skincare is personal and everyone's skin is different, this is still a cleanser I'd happily recommend to anyone looking for a gentle, hydrating everyday face wash.

I've experimented with other micellar waters, but this one has consistently given me the best results, leaving my skin feeling clean, fresh and never stripped after every use. It's a product I never like to be without.

I wasn't sure about trying a face oil at first because my dry skin doesn't always get along with oil-based products. I'm so glad I gave this one a chance because it completely changed my expectations.

Finding skincare that truly works for my skin isn't always easy, which is why this serum impressed me so much. I wasn't expecting it to become one of my favorites, but after trying it, I completely fell in love with it.

The combination of AHA, BHA, and PHA gently removes dead skin cells while refining skin texture without leaving my skin feeling overly dry, making it a staple in my weekly skincare routine.

Tip: I only use this toner at night since it contains active exfoliating ingredients. For the best results, I use it 2–3 times a week and always follow with a moisturizer to keep my skin hydrated.

Armi Ekasari profile picture
This is my favorite exfoliating serum and one I always include in my skin cycling routine. Instead of using it together with my exfoliating toner, I alternate between the two throughout the week to avoid over-exfoliating my skin. 
The formula with 10% lactic acid, niacinamide, and kiwi fruit extract gently smooths my skin, improves texture, and leaves my complexion looking brighter by the next morning. 
Every time I use it, my skin feels clearer, smoother and refreshed, which is why it has become one of my skincare favorites.

Tip: I only use this serum at night, about 2–3 times a week, and always follow with a moisturizer to keep my skin hydrated.

I really enjoyed adding this serum to my brightening routine. What makes it stand out is that it uses Alpha Arbutin instead of niacinamide, making it a wonderful option for anyone looking for a different brightening ingredient. 
The texture feels lightweight and comfortable and my skin always feels soft, smooth and refreshed after applying it. 
It's a lovely choice if you're looking for a gentle serum that supports a brighter-looking complexion.
