CATHY DOLL CC Cream Speed White SPF50 PA+++
A CC cream with a high SPF. Coverage is low, a barely type - it's a tinted moisturiser type of product and the shade I got #1 Light Beige is very light, but since the coverage is so low, the shade hardly matters. It gives the skin a shine that isn't greasy looking on me (I have dry skin).


ONE THING Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate
A repurchase. I've been using this for a while in the morning (I use COSRX Galactomyces 95 Tone Balancing Essence in my night routine, but both are the same types of products. This one is much cheaper). This one has only three ingredients Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate, Butylene Glycol and 1,2-Hexanediol. It's thinner than COSRX, more like a basic toner, but it feels nicely hydrating and pleasant on the skin. It has no scent.

SCINIC First Treatment Essence
I've been using COSRX Galactomyces 95 Tone Balancing Essence for years and the price almost doubled since I started buying it, so I decided to check the competition. I already tried One Thing (and repurchased it), this one was frequently mentioned on forums about essences. Ingredients are simple with 90% ferments and it also has niacinamide and adenosine from the ingredients worth mentioning. I'll try it once I use up One Thing.


MISSHA Time Revolution Night Repair Ampoule 5X
This is the new version of Time Revolution Night Repair Probio Ampoule, which is often compared to Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum since both share Bifida Ferment Lysate, but Missha is so much cheaper. I've had this on my wishlist for ages. I've been using it for three-four months by now and I'm not sure it does anything much - or at least it doesn't have immediate visible results, but I use so much other great skin care and my skin is still in nice condition, so I don't think I'd see anything anyway. It's a light serum that feels hydrating and is good for layering.

MEDIPEEL+ Phyto EX PDRN Lifting Shot Eye Cream
An eye cream with a long list of ingredients - PDRN, peptides and more. It's a medium thick lotion-cream that's easy to spread to a large area. It has a strong almost herbal scent, which I still didn't get used too after four months. It's an ok eye cream, I'd repurchase given the amount and price + good ingredients.


PURITO SEOUL Luminous Ceramide Sleeping Pack
A sleeping mask with soothing ingredients - cica complex, ceramides, panthenol and squlane. Texture is rich, but not greasy. I use it as the last step in my routine. This is my backup, as I've almost used up one tube.

PURITO SEOUL Luminous Ceramide Moisturizer
A gift with purchase. It's similar to the mask, a simple hydrating-soothing formula. This one has an airless pump mechanism. 

iUNIK Beta Glucan Daily Moisture Cream
A gift with purchase, but this is a mini with 15 ml. It's a nice hydrating formula with niacinamide, beta-glucan, arganine, adenosine, aloe vera, centella asiatica, and several extract. It feels similar to sleeping masks, so I used it up as the last step in my night routine.


VT Vitamin C Astaxanthin Mask
A set of 30 sheet masks for radiance and tone correction. It has several versions of vitamin C, niacinamide, kojic acid, 8-Layer Hyaluronic Acid Complex, Glutathione, Ferulic Acid & Astaxanthin, Squalane, Ceramide, Adenosine & Ubiquinone (Q10). Like at other such pack I own, there's plastic tweezers for picking up masks. There's plenty of essence, which is more on the thin side. Mask feels hydrating and leaves a slightly greasy layer on the skin when taken off. Like at other such mask I have (from Prettyskin) these dry quicker on the skin than individual masks. There's no scent.


CATHY DOLL Aqua Sun Bright Up Body Sun Serum SPF50+ PA++++
A 140 ml SPF for body with brightening ingredients (Niacinamide, Alpha-Arbutin, Glutathione, and Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (MAP), a stable vitamin C). I've used this one a lot in the summer, but it can be a bit white on the skin. Formula is light and doesn't feel or look greasy. It has one of those formulas that feels like water mixed with cream. Scent is gentle.

DR.G - R.E.D Blemish Soothing Up Moisture Sunscreen
A gift with purchase. An sunscreen with SPF 30, hyaluronic acid, azelaic acid and zinc - great for acne-prone skin. It's light on the skin and not very shiny. 


APLB Retinol Vitamin C Vitamin E Body Lotion
I already have two versions, the violet Collagen one and orange Bakuchiol, but they are all the same type of light, fast-absorbing, but hydrating lotions. All are unscented and suitable for anything - I often use them as hand creams because the pump is so convenient. There are many versions - all have mostly centella asiatica leaf water along and this one has ascorbic acid, retinol, madecassoside, hydrolized coolage and beta-glucan.
