IUNIK Propolis Vitamin Sleeping Mask
A repurchase. I've been using this on most days since I got my first tube. It's a gel overnight mask with propolis and plenty of nice ingredients. Texture isn't that heavy, but the gel formula doesn't absorb quickly and stays on the skin for hours. I apply a medium thick coat of this as the last step and sometimes I can still feel a layer of it in the morning. It's deeply hydrating and calming, since it has a lot of centella asiatica. It's scent-free.

NINELESS B-Boost 1% Kojic Acid Serum
A repurchase. It's a brightening serum with niacinamide, tranexamic acid, kojic acid, vitamin C, glutathione, arganine and peptides. It's light, absorbs quickly and it's hydrating enough to be used on its own if desired. It keeps my skin in good condition, though I'm not sure I noticed actual brightening. It has no scent.


medicube PDRN Pink Collagen Capsule Cream
Most people get the serum, but I got this instead. It contains salmon PDRN, collagen and niacinamide, and it promises to even out skin tone, firm the skin and strengthen the skin barrier. It looks odd, but those capsules aren't really solid balls, instead they are more like drops of a cream suspended in a thick gel. There's a spoon added for scooping the product out and most of the time you can't get the ball out intact, as it already mixes with the gel. Texture is heavy and rich, something you can use as the last step in your night routine like an overnight mask. I use it on most days now as an overnight mask and I see only hydration as its effect, but my skin is in good condition - feels comfortable given that's it's winter and my skin feels very tight if I don't use good skin care.

medicube TXA Niacinamide 15 Serum
I got this as a gift with purchase. It's a brightening serum, similar to the Nineless B-Boost and it has tranexamic acid (5%), niacinamide (10%) and arbutin. It's a light serum, tinted red and feels very similar to the Nineless one. It absorbs quickly, but leaves the skin hydrated. I've started using this one instead of B-Boost in the mornings. I've been using it for about two months now and I'm not sure I see any brightening, but my skin does look healthy.


APLB Collagen EGF Peptide Mist Essence
A mist essence with 27% cica extract, 2,000ppm of hydrolysed collagen, EGF peptide, hyaluronic acid and beta-glucan. It’s very light and absorbs quickly. I spray it when my skin feels tight and on my dry hands. It has no scent.

ESFOLIO Facial Cream Peptide
A moisturiser with peptides, collagen and a bunch of other stuff. It's got a light texture for a cream, but feels hydrating on my dry skin. Most of it absorbs quickly and this works as a base for makeup. It's got a nice scent of candy. There are several versions of these Esfolio creams.


CELIMAX Ji Woo Gae Heartleaf BHA Peeling Pad
I got this as a gift with purchase and it took me a while to open these because I assumed they are some boring soft pads with a weak exfoliating effect. But I was quite impressed by these at first try. The pads have two sides - one has a quilted design and it's soft as I expected, but the other has a sort of rough mesh that feels like a great manual exfoliator. I don't know how they compare to others, since I never had peeling pads (Neogen's look similar to me on pictures), but I'll likely repurchase these. Formula feels hydrating as first, by my dry skin soon needs more. It has some extracts, salicylic acid (it says Salicylate so BHA), Madecassoside and Tea Tree oil. They smell like tea tree oil.


PRETTYSKIN Wrinkle Eraser Roll On Eye Cream - Placenta
I got this for points that were about to expire and there were just two choices. I already gave this away as a gift, since I use other eye creams (CATRICE Caffeine Kick Under Eye Serum and A.H.C Ten Revolution Real Eye Cream For Face). There are several versions of these; this one has hydrolised collagen, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid and a peptide. This has the same three metal ball massaging applicator as Catrice's Caffeine Kick, which is cooling. 


medicube Collagen Lifting Mask
I got a pack of these as a gift with purchase. Description says it has a triple collagen complex with hydrolyzed collagen, soluble collagen and atelo collagen. The packaging is semi see-though. These have the thickest, richest formula I've tried. The essence is gel-serum like, not a liquid or a light lotion like they usually are. It didn't dry out for ages and there was plenty of essence left, which I used for the rest of my body. My skin felt comfortable and hydrated after use. These are quite nice.

PRETTYSKIN Daily Rice Brightening Mask
A pack of 30 sheet masks for about 10 €, so quite affordable. They pull out like wet wipes and they added a plastic tweezer so you can get them out easier. Ingredients include niacinamide, arganine, allantoin, panthenol, hydrolyzed collagen, hydrolyzed glycosaminoglycans, hyaluronic acid, rice extract and beta-glucan. They are fully saturated in essence, which is a classic rich-toner-like and the material is reasonably thin. They dry out faster than individually packed masks, but it takes at least 20-30 minutes for some parts to dry fully. These leave my skin nicely hydrated and feeling nice. 


ELIZAVECCA CER-100 Collagen Ceramide Coating Protein Treatment
A repurchase. It's a great affordable hair mask with hydrolised proteins and aminoacids that does what more expensive stuff do. I like it has Amodimethicone high on the list as that always works well for my hair. It also has ceramides (a.k.a. "hair cement") and a bunch of extracts. This is one of the best products I've tried. It makes my hair feels so nice - airy, nourished and silky. When my hair was still bleached, this helped it dry a lot smoother. It's a protein treatment that doesn't leave the hair stiff, so there's no need for an extra conditioner after it. Texture is easy to spread in a small amount, but it's only 100 ml, so my long hair I don't have it for many uses - luckily it's not that expensive compared to some brands. It's has quite a boring classic hair salon cosmetics scent.
