10/10: The best sunscreen I have tried so far. It feels like a serum, very lightweight, does not break me out + unscented.
SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum
10/10: actually worth the hype because it is soothing and suitable for all skin types- like a magic water (I would repurchase, but I don't think it is essential in a routine)
SKIN 1004 - Madagascar Centella Ampoule
10/10: not drying like most acne creams and calms redness and inflammation so it is worth it for me and I always have a backup. However note it does not work on closed comedones and doesn't really help whiteheads clear faster
LION - Pair Acne Cream W | YesStyle
9/10 but maybe even 10/10: I hear a lot of mixed reviews about this but this cleared my forehead closed comedones and texture so fast, and I tried so many products for them including prescription products. I owned this for ages but did not think to try it on my forehead ccs. I still use it only on my forehead to stop them from coming back, but not daily or it can irritate my skin. Does not work on blackheads though
COSRX - AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner
9/10: I use a separate moisturiser on my forehead as it is prone to clogging, and this helped me clear texture and did not clog my pores. I like that it is a tube which is more sanitary. However it is not rich enough for dry skin and it is not hydrat...
Dr. Althea - 345 Relief Cream
10/10: Lathers very well and is not stripping (doesn't leave that squeaky feel which is really important for me). Similar to the roundlab cleanser, it is great. There is a slight fragrance but mild
SKIN 1004 - Madagascar Centella Ampoule Foam
Wouldn't repurchase
9/10: this was my 3rd bottle of this cleansing oil- it is very runny, emulsifies quickly and removes makeup very efficiently. But the only thing I don't like is the herbal fragrance but if you dont mind fragrance this is an amazing cleansing oil. Onl...
SKIN 1004 - Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil
7/10: it was decent but not worth all the hype for me. I expected more hydration- if you have dry skin, there are more hydrating serums out there.
Torriden - DIVE-IN Low Molecule Hyaluronic Acid Serum
6/10: a lot of people raved about this but it did not do anything for my skin and it also stings on broken skin. I personally preferred the skin1004 centella.
Purito SEOUL - Wonder Releaf Centella Serum Unscented | YesStyle
5/10 : it burned my under eyes and made them red and tight, but it does contain retinal so given that my skin is dry I should have sandwiched it between moisturiser. I think this would be effective given the ingredients, but is just too strong for me...
Beauty of Joseon - Revive Eye Serum
