COSRX The AHA 2 BHA 2 Blemish Treatment

 

Hi Everyone!

Today, I am back with a review about a product that has effectively treated my hyperpigmentation. I feel happy because my acne, thanks to good routines, has improved my skin a lot and now my skin looks clear and healthy and better. But I must confess some days due stress or depending of my menstrual cycle, one or two annoying pimples and I have to try these pimples all over again.

This product is different because it is a serum with cottons that you apply directly to your skin only in the affected areas.

Highly concentrated with 2% AHA and 2% BHA, this serum in a pure cotton ball quickly and easily soothes acne-scarred skin and instantly cares for blackheads and whiteheads.

PROs and CONs

PROs

- Calming

- Reduces redness

- Antiinflammatory

- Easy Application

- Higyenic

- Easy to use

CONs

- In many countries, you can only buy this product online. 

This product is ideal for trying active pimples and acné scars because con AHA and BHA, which both help to reduce inflammation and help to heal the skin and, of course, the pimple. This is perfect if you have to deal with blackheads and whiteheads too. 

After two days, I noticed a reduction in the papules, and after four days, the pimple was just healing. It is important to know that this treatment is only for specific acne spots and not for the full face because it is strong. Always use sunscreen after using it. The price is around $17, and I have a lot of cotton full of serum, so this is a good investment if you have to deal with whiteheads. This contains glycolic acid + Salicylic Acid, an excellent combination for treating black and whiteheads.

Purito SEOUL Mighty Bamboo Panthenol Cream

Hi Everyone!

It has been a while since I published a review about a cream because it lasted me a long time so I don´t have the opportunity to try more creams because I don´t want to accumulate products. I received this product because I decided to apply has a part of the Purito program and I was selected. I have tried this brand before but this is my first trying the Purito SEOUL  Mighty Bamboo Panthenol Cream. Now Purito has rebranded this cream with a new package and more quantity. 

I don´t remember using a product in which the principal ingredient is Bamboo. This cream is very interesting because is designed to repair the skin barrier and I discovered this is an amazing product for combination sensitive skin like mine.

Purito SEOUL  Mighty Bamboo Panthenol Cream

This cream consists of Panthenol and Korean Bamboo-infused cream to repair the damaged skin barrier, granting the skin a radiant glow with the advanced repair and hydration seal. 100,000 ppm Panthenol reduces moisture loss and strengthens the skin barrier with a 55.65% improvement rate of water loss improvement, 44.63% hydration improvement, and 118.47% super fast hydration seal.

Ingredients

Water, Panthenol(10 %), Squalane, Butylene Glycol, 1, 2-Hexanediol, Niacinamide, Bambusa Vulgaris Extract(3, 497 Ppm), Hydrolyzed Jojoba Esters, Acrylates/​C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/​VP Copolymer, Hydroxyacetophenone, Tromethamine, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Xanthan Gum, Disodium EDTA, Sodium Hyaluronate, Madecassoside, Asiaticoside, Asiatic Acid, Madecassic Acid, Copper Tripeptide-1

PROs and CONs

PROs

- Cruelty-Free

- Vegan

- Fragrance Free

- Gel Texture

- Lightweight

- Moisturizing

- Calming

CONs

- In many countries, you can only purchase this online.

Conclusions

I tried this cream a few days ago and I discovered this is an amazing product, with the creams for me the principal effect I to seal all the previous products and provide a good moisturizing effect. This product contains Bamboo extracts which helps a lot with the moisturizing effect but I really like the list of ingredients is short. Because sometimes less is more and I prefer quality over quantity. This cream contains Niacinamide (one of my favorites because is an antioxidant, is anti-inflammatory, and has a lot of wonderful properties). Contains too Centella Asiatica my war horse I really love centella asiatica sincerely to this point in my life I should have a section only with this ingredient. I didn´t mention but this product contains 10% of Panthenol which provides moisture but helps to maintain a healthy skin barrier. 

This product has been upgraded, it has an old version with 80 and this contains 100 mL I am glad about this decision because when you tried the texture was so juicy and pretty and the best I discovered It is perfect to use previous to sunscreen. I need to clarify that sometimes, using a moisturizing cream after sunscreen can be too much for some skin types. But this gel-type cream is absorbed into the skin and looks healthy, glowy, and moisturized, and If you apply your sunscreen the skin doesn't feel heavy. The skin feels tight but in any sense this cream makes the other products feel heavy and I really appreciate that because sometimes I skip cream on my skincare routine because as I am using sunscreen feels heavy. 

The price is around $23 but this time with the quantity of product that this cream contains I feel is a good investment.  guess If you are not sensitive to any product of this formula this can work pretty good for every skin type.

COSRX The Alpha Arbutin 2 Discoloration Care Serum

 
Hi Everyone!

Today is the time for a review. I have been working for several days. This serum contains an innovative combination of ingredients that are great for hyperpigmentation. The combination is Tranexamic Acid + Niacinamide + N-Acetyl Glucosamine (NAG). The first two are very well known for reducing melanin production and hyperpigmentation. This helps to stop the mechanism that causes the discoloration of the skin. The NAG, on the other hand, helps to improve the skin barrier because it is a precursor for the biosynthesis of hyaluronic acid, but I will stop with all the chemistry class.

COSRX The Alpha Arbutin 2 Discoloration Care Serum

Ultimate Solution for all post-breakout concerns.

A high-potency, high-concentration serum for hyperpigmentation and scars.

Ingredients

Aqua/Water, Propanediol, Glycerin, Niacinamide, Tranexamic Acid, Acetyl Glucosamine, Alpha-Arbutin(2%), 1,2-Hexanediol, Dimethicone, Dimethyl Isosorbide, Diethoxyethyl Succinate, Butylene Glycol, Citric Acid, Alcohol, Sodium Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Metabisulfite, Disodium EDTA, Ethylhexylglycerin, Dextrin, Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Extract, Sodium Citrate, Madecassoside, Sodium Methyl Stearoyl Taurate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Tocopherol, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Hyaluronic Acid, Ferulic Acid, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Panthenol, Arginine, Methyl Trimethicone, Allantoin, Glutathione, Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate

The texture is liquid, and the absorption is quick

Before and After 

PROs and CONs

PROs

- Lightweight

- Easy Application

- Liquid Texture

- Moisturizing Effect

- Reduces hyperpigmentation

- Reduces redness in a couple of days

CONs

- In many countries, you can only buy this product online. 

Conclusions

My first impression of this serum is that it is liquid; there is an amber color and doesn´t have a smell or fragrance. It just smells like medicine, nothing strong. It is absorbed quickly into the skin, and the skin feels calm and moisturized. I don´t use cream after using this serum; it can be too drying, so I don´t use this one around my mouth or my eyes.

This product helps to heal acne scars, but it does not work on the pimple when it is active. This is important because after the pimple starts to heal this works amazingly. I only use this in the night routine because I prefer a good serum of Vitamin C in the morning, and I prefer not to combine these actives. This serum has a price of $25 without shipping. I highly recommend this serum if you are dealing with hyperpigmentation or discoloration.

SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Probio-Cica Glow Sun Ampoule Review

Hi Everyone!

This is one of the products that are on my top. If there is a product I am constantly using daily several times per day, that is the sunscreen. This is an SPF50+, which is so important for maintaining skin health against the UVA and UVB rays that are principal causes of skin premature aging. This product works as a sunscreen but also as a moisturizing ampoule because this sunscreen contains Centella Asiatica, Aloe Vera, and Pantheno,l which helps to improve the skin barrier but provides a beautiful glossy skin. 

I published a review about another product of this same line that works amazingly: 

- SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Probio-Cica Bakuchiol Eye Cream 

SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Probio-Cica Glow Sun Ampoule

A chemical sun ampoule that offers effective UV protection with broad-spectrum SPF50+ PA++++.Infused with Madagascan TECA and Centella to soothe irritated skin and strengthen the skin barrier. Contains 74% moisture essence to lock in hydration to help achieve glossy skin.

Ingredients

Water, Dibutyl Adipate, Butyloctyl Salicylate, Ethylhexyl Triazone, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Propanediol, Niacinamide, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, Terephthalylidene Dicamphor Sulfonic Acid, 1,2-Hexanediol, Poly C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate, Glycerin, Tromethamine, Panthenol, VP/Hexadecene Copolymer, Sodium Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate, Polyglyceryl-3 Distearate, Sodium Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Hydrogenated Poly(C6-14 Olefin), Centella Asiatica Extract, Betaine, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose Stearoxy Ether, Ammonium Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Adenosine, Glyceryl Stearate Citrate, Laminaria Japonica Extract, Ulmus Davidiana Root Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Viola Mandshurica Flower Extract, Dioscorea Japonica Root Extract, Lauryl Glucoside, Butylene Glycol, t-Butyl Alcohol, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil, Hydroxystearic Acid, Ceramide NP, Lactobacillus Ferment, Madecassic Acid, Asiaticoside, Polyglyceryl-10 Myristate, Phytosphingosine, Asiatic Acid, Sucrose Distearate, Lauric Acid, Phytosterols

Before and After

PROs and CONs

PROs

- Easy Application

- Semi-liquid texture

- Non-white cast

- Moisturizing

- Glossy finish

- Easy Application

CONs

- In many countries, you can only buy this product online.

Conclusions

My first impression of this sunscreen was that the texture was liquid and lightweight. It is absorbed quickly into the skin, providing a luminous and healthy glow. This is a very glossy sunscreen and contains Centella Asiatica, but it feels a very moisturizing effect after applying. This doesn´t leave a white cast that is almost imperceptible. The skin looks very glowy and moisturized. If you are not a fan of a glowy and moisturized effect after applying sunscreen and prefer a semi-matte or matte effect, this probably is not for you.

This sunscreen is very easy to reapply and feels good on the skin. It calms the skin and reduces redness. I have sensitive combination skin, and this sunscreen is a must-have in my skincare routine. It works amazingly on my skin, so I really like the effect.

SAM'U PH Sensitive Cream Mist Review

 
Hi Everyone!

The mists are not part of my daily skincare routine. But I found this product is definitely a great addition to my routine because I can use this product as a mist, but it has a makeup fixer too because it is lightweight and the mist is so fine. This is the third product I have tried from the Korean brand SAM'U. And I know that this brand is not very well known or not so popular as other brands I reviewed here, but this product has a lot of potential. Because the products offers good quality and good results. I have sensitive combination skin and I must say I really enjoy using this product. 

Here are the other two products that I have used that I guess make the perfect combo:

- SAM'U Galacto Pore O2 Toner Review

- SAM'U Galacto Pore Serum Review

Lightweight Hydrating Mist: Enriched with ceramides and hyaluronic acid, this face spray refreshes, hydrates, and delivers a burst of moisture to quench dry and sensitive skin. 

Ingredients

Water, Propanediol, Pentylene Glycol, Glycerin, Diphenyl Dimethicone, Triethylhexanoin, Centella Asiatica Extract, Ficus Carica Fruit Extract, Juniperus Communis Fruit Extract, Ulmus Davidiana Root Extract, Amaranthus Caudatus Seed Extract, Undaria Pinnatifida Extract, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Octyldodeceth-16, Betaine, Trehalose, Polyglyceryl-10 Myristate, Butylene Glycol, Sodium Citrate, Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate, Citric Acid, Disodium EDTA, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Allantoin, Ceramide NP, Xylitylglucoside, Anhydroxylitol, Xylitol, Glucose, Meadowfoam Delta-Lactone, Lactobionic Acid, 1,2-Hexanediol, Parfum, Hydroxyacetophenone, Ethylhexylglycerin

After Applying SAM'U PH Sensitive Cream Mist

PROs and CONs

PROs

- Good packaging

- Milky lightweight texture

- Fine Spray 

- Easy Application

- Moisturizing

- Calming

CONs

- In many countries, you can only buy this product online.

Conclusions

The first thing I noticed about this product is that the simple packaging is pretty well-designed and feels very good in my hands. I like the good details and the good finish. The dispenser is easy to use and provides a hygienic application. The mist texture is so fine, almost imperceptible. Sincerely, this was my favorite thing after the moisturizing and calming effects. This can be used as a primer for makeup, too, because it provides a uniform, moisturizing layer on my skin that is lightweight and not heavy.

I know that in the test, it looks almost like nothing, but it is a fine moisturizing layer and makes this a great mist. This contains a subtle floral fragrance that is almost imperceptible after some seconds. The moisturizing is there but very delicate because, in to the end this is a mist. I like the fact that it is lightweight and is healthy to apply when I am out, and when I feel I need a little moisture on my skin, it is absorbed quickly. This works great on my neck too so yeah, this product contains Hyaluronic Acid, Centella Asiática, and Panthenol. These three ingredients together are amazing for recovering and maintaining the skin barrier.

In conclusion, this product can be used as a mist, Makeup primer, and Makeup Fixer. So yeah, this is a good investment.
