**Skin Type?** Oily, acne-prone
**Climate?** Currently, dry as it’s getting much colder these days.
Some background: these are products I bought MONTHS ago and have used for these last few months. But, some I haven’t used recently due to the fact of me finishing them and not repurchasing them.
Product List + Review:
**Kose Softymo Speedy Cleansing Oil** – One of the BEST oil cleansers I’ve used and likely the only one I’ll be using for the far future. Unless I finally splurge on that Shu Uemura Cleansing Oil… BUT beyond that—this is a really affordable yet effective cleansing oil. It gets makeup off very well, as well as sebum. Some days I just rub this in for three minutes, just to REALLY get the extra sebum and whiteheads out of my skin. Would definitely repurchase, and a personal HG. 10/10
**TONYMOLY Wonder Ceramide Mochi Toner** – This one was bought because the Naturie Hatomugi Toner on SV was out of stock ☠️. It itself is fine—I liked it when I was using it. It had a milky consistency, with a slight “slip” to it. This DOES have fragrance, a citrus sort of smell which I like. My skin doesn’t get irritated by fragrance so I didn’t mind too much. It does give a “mochi” look to my skin, bouncy, hydrated, and it did help with sebum control. Though, after a while though, it was “too much” for my skin—my skin started to get VERY oily after an hour of application. It didn’t help my sebum production much which was a shame :(. I use it mostly for my hands and neck now and it does give off that “mochi” skin look. It’s nice, not for my skin, and would not repurchase. 5.5/10.
**Rohto Mentholatum Hado Labo Gokujyun Super Hyaluronic Face Wash** – This was. BAD. When I got it, and first used it, it smelled BAD. Like burnt plastic. I got two, one for my cousin and for me. I did not like it but my cousin said it was fine so. Who knows. But me? I hated this. The tube felt cheap, the cream, though was suppose to be hydrating, stripped my skin and the SMELL. It smelt expired. 0/10.
**numbuzin No. 3 Skin Softening Serum** – One of my FAVORITE serums. It has really helped my skin texture, and helped the appearance of my pores. It’s a huge bottle too, and personally, I love frosted glass containers for skincare. It has a pleasant smell but I think that’s from the actives rather then any added fragrance. It has a bit of viscous gel textures but settles nicely into the skin. Though, I did notice that if I used it more then four times a week, I would get closed comodones(? Not sure how to spell it but CCs, tiny bumps). My skin isn’t always the biggest fan of fermented ingredients so I use this three times a week or so. 9/10, would repurchase.
**Rohto Mentholatum Hado Labo Gokujyun Hyaluronic Acid Premium Lotion** – I didn’t use this personally, as it was for my cousin who has VERY dry skin. I did use it a little bit and it’s a very good toner/emulsion/lotion. Has a gel like texture and gives a very nice hydrated look. My cousin loves it and told me she would definitely repurchase after she’s done (which she has!).
**LION Pair Acne Cream** – It was. Hm. Alright? Definitely a *gentler* acne cream and it somewhat help with some breakouts. I haven’t used it in a while since I use my prescription acne medication which works better. If you want a gentle acne cream, this is it! 6/10, would not repurchase.
**Naturie Hatomugi Skin Conditioning Gel** – This was a nice gel! Same thing as the TONYMOLY toner and admittedly, I only got this because the Naturie toner was out of stock ☠️. It’s okay, a nice soothing gel. 7/10, would not repurchase.
**SOME BY MI Clear Spot Patch** – My HG acne patches—they stick onto the skin very well, actually helps with pimples, are relatively think compared to other patches, and really looks invisible. 10/10, definitely repurchase.
As for the last two, the hemish stuff, I don’t ever remember using them. Can’t review those two 🤷.
