Facial Mists
This moisturizing facial mist is infused with 90% desert rose extract which contains a naturally derived fixative. It is very dewy as you can see and my makeup lasted pretty well all day!
This spray does have a very pleasant scent and it is from natural ingredients. I did not see "fragrance" on the list of ingredients which is so nice to see since companies can put any kind of chemical in a product and slap a fragrance label on it t...

Moisturizer
This moisturizer is very light weight and perfect for warmer months. This is probably the lightest moisturizer I've used that has done the most. My skin truly feels nourished after use without feeling slimy or being thick.
HARUHARU Centella 5% Niacinamide Gel
This intensive repair cream is great for brightness and anti-wrinkle. It contains fermented Centella Asiatica and ceremides to encourage the skin's natural power to repair damaged barrier. I love that it comes with a spatula for application so you do...
PROBIO-CICA ENRICH CREAM - SKIN1004
I truly really enjoy this Moisturizer. It is a gentle, azulene-rich Cream that helps to rapidly calm and soothe sensitivity. It is a beautiful blue color and the texture reminds me of a gel cream. It did calm down irritation I had on my face. I defin...
Midnight Blue Calming Cream(60ml) - Dear, Klairs
The Madagascar Centella Soothing Cream was so soothing. It felt very hydrating. I was not expecting the caramel color but it doesn't really change the skin color. A little bit definitely goes a long way.
Madagascar Centella Soothing Cream | Skin Care - SKIN1004
I loved that this cream was very hydrating and blended well into the skin. It did not have a white cast like I have experienced with other ceramide creams and I didn't wake up looking like I was covered in oil like others either.
AESTURA ATOBARRIER365 Cream with Ceramide
I have been using the Ceremide ato Concentrate Cream for a few weeks now and have been enjoying it. This is ideal for someone with dry skin and in my experience good for sensitive skin. I have oily skin and I enjoy this at night but definitely need t...
I really enjoy that this product is scent free and it has visibly reduced the puffiness in my face that I've had recently.
Ceremides are good for: 🌧Moisture retention 🧴Reduced inflammation 💪Promote anti-aging
Overall, I do enjoy this product and even as an oily girl would repurchase in the winter months for some extra hydration.

PROBIO-CICA INTENSIVE AMPOULE - SKIN1004
The consistency surprised me with this one. It felt a bit slimy (in a good way) and very hydrating. After continual use, I noticed my skin was very hydrated and plump.
Rice Ceramide 7 Hydrating Barrier Serum - Anua
My skin did seem brighter after continuous use. It has 10% Niacinamide, 4% TXA, and 2% Arbutin.

Pros: 🔸️Reduced redness quickly. 🔸️Thin serum texture that is easy to apply and spread. 🔸️Repaired skin barrier concerns with my sensitive skin. 🔸️Skin feels significantly hydrated after use.
CONS: 🔸️May increase skin's sensitivity to the sun so be sure to wear sunscreen! 🔸️I feel like the packaging could be better. It looks like glass but is actually made of plastic. 🔸️I did experience some mild redness at first but it quickly we...
Overall, I am pleased with this product. I was looking for an exfoliating serum so I'm happy to have this in my collection and will be using it regularly in my rotation.

PROBIO-CICA BAKUCHIOL EYE CREAM - SKIN1004
Cleansers
First of all, I am impressed with the size of the product. The Cleanser is 6.76 ounces and was FULL! It was specially formulated for blemish-prone and sensitive skin with a low pH to maintain the skin's natural balance without stripping away moisture...
In my experience, it took off all makeup super easily. I use the Haus Labs Eyeliner which is super difficult to get off even double cleansing but this baby took it all off easily without any excessive rubbing or anything.

Green Plum Low PH Cleansing Gel - OOTD Beauty
This cleanser is made with rice cultivated in Yeoju, Korea. As you can see, the texture is very dense and soft. It feels absolutely luxurious on the skin. Be careful, a little bit goes a long way! Definitely a Cleanser I would repurchase.
I'm from Rice Whip Facial Cleanser, low-pH
This was my first ever cleansing powder and I was pretty impressed. It created a smooth almost slimy (but in a good way) texture on the skin. I typically double cleansed with the Anua oil Cleanser and both together consistently got 99% of my makeup o...
ANUA RICE ENZYME BRIGHTENING CLEANSING POWDER ...
When I tell you this is probably my new favorite Cleanser I mean it! I've never had a Cleanser remove makeup so effortlessly with none left behind. It's also the only oil Cleanser I've used that didn't leave my skin feeling all gross or having a film...
Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil for Sensitive Skin

Madagascar Centella Quick Calming Pad | Skin Care
You can use this product as a daily moisturizing essence or as an exfoliator twice per week. To use as an exfoliator you are supposed to roll the product into your skin with circular motions and then feel the grain-like particles coming out.
This didn't work for me as an exfoliant but I did use it as a moisturizing essence and loved the feel of my skin. I have pretty sensitive skin and my face stayed calm with these natural ingredients.

Hair Care
I have been using this hair serum the past few weeks and have noticed that it helps fight frizz better than most serums. The directions are to put it in your hair before blow drying and then add a little bit when it's dry. My usually frizzy hair was ...
I did test to see if it would work with air drying and it did not. My hair was a little wonky when I didn't use the hair dryer. However, it did help on already dried hair as well.
