Reviews from someone who is picky and a tough critic!
COSRX Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser- 6/10 Didn’t notice a difference between this and any other inexpensive drugstore cleanser. Would not repurchase.
VANICREAM Daily Facial Moisturizer- 9/10 I actually really liked this one! Fragrance free, lightweight and absorbs quickly. Would repurchase.
FIRST AID BEAUTY Ultra Repair Cream- 6/10 noticed it was causing random small pimples every time I used it. I thought it was something else causing it but once I ran out I discovered it was this. Would not repurchase.
Avène Cicalfate Restorative Protective Cream- 6.7- Caused tiny pimples and clogged pores if I used this all over my face but worked decently for soothing sunburns. Would not repurchase.
Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentrè- 6.7 Overhyped in my opinion but maybe I wasn’t using it correctly and gave the same results as if I would have used any other primer. I did like the slight luminosity it gave under makeup though. Probably wouldn’t repurchase.
Tretinoin (prescription 0.025%)- 7.5/10 I think the percentage was too high for me and my skin never really got used to it. I think it would have worked much better at a lower percentage.
LANCÔME Rénergie Lift Multi-action Ultra Eye Cream- 6.5/10 Got it for free so I used it all but I think a thick facial moisturizer would have had the same effect. Would not repurchase.
BIOSSANCE Squalane + Marine Algae Eye Cream- 5/10 Didn’t do anything, felt like a waste of money. Would not repurchase.
BYOMA Hydrating Milky Toner- 10/10 Love this stuff! Feels nice on the skin, gentle, absorbs quickly, hydrating and gives a glow under moisturizer. Would repurchase.
COSRX Snail Mucin- 7/10 Noticed my skin looking more plump at the beginning but afterwards I felt like it wasn’t doing much besides feeling nice when applied. Probably wouldn’t purchase.
SKIN 1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum- 9.5/10 Awesome sunscreen, high SPF, lightweight, and wears so well under makeup. Would repurchase.
The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner- 10/10 Staple for me! I use it on my nose once a week to help clear out and minimize pores and well as my underarms twice a week to prevent odor and help lighten and exfoliate the area. I also use it on my scalp before I wash my hair as a scalp exfoliant and detox. Would repurchase over and over again.
The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution- 8/10 for applying to nose to help clear out pores but would not apply it all over face because it’s harsh and will burn. The glycolic acid took its place for clearing the nose though. Would not repurchase because something more multi-use took its place.
POND’S Dry Skin Cream Facial Moisturizer- 6/10 Wanted to like this product so badly but it caused tiny pimples for me and is heavily fragranced. I ended up using a majority of the container as a body lotion and for that purpose it was a 9/10! Left my body looking glowy and moisturized. Would not repurchase sadly.
