NUXE Very Rose Delicate Cleansing Oil
The cleansing oil I've been using for a few years. Formula is light and it doesn’t emulsify much, but it cleans well and removes makeup. It washes off completely and doesn't irritate my eyes. It’s not fragranced, instead it has a natural oil scent.
Repurchase: Yes.
MIXA BABY Soothing Cleansing Oil
My daily foamy cleanser. The blue one is the new version, but the formula feels the same. It's not an oil like the name says, it's a basic gel. It's gentle, effective, it doesn't irritate my eyes, it has no scent and it has nice ingredients. Plus the pump is handy.
Repurchase: Done.
AFRODITA COSMETICS Young & Pure Clean! Purifying Foam
A basic foam cleanser. The foam was watery for my liking, but it cleaned
well. It didn't irritate my eyes, but this wasn't the best for my dry
skin and to avoid a tight feeling I had to use something moisturising
fast. It's more suited for a different skin type than mine.
Repurchase: No.
COSRX Galactomyces 95 Tone Balancing Essence
I've been using this every day for years. It's a rich toner-like product with 95% ferments (galactomyces) and rest are niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, panthenol, allantoin, adenosine and a handful of fillers. It has no scent. Its promise it to brighten and even out the skin tone, but I like it because it keeps my skin in good condition.
Repurchase: Done.
CEZANNE Skin Conditioner High Moist
A product I use every day. It's a hydrating liquid that's easy to layer and contains all the good stuff - ceramides, different versions of hyaluronic acid, extracts, aminoacids, cholesterol,…. Bottle has a generous 500 ml that lasts quite a while.
Repurchase: Done.
A'PIEU Madecassoside Fluid 2x
A rich toner-like product with 30% centella asiatica leaf water, Madecassoside, Ceramide, Panthenol, Aloe Vera, Betta-Glucan and several extracts - it's a repairing & hydrating product. I used this every day for a couple of years, but now I think it's discontinued, so I bought Purito's Wonder Releaf Centella Toner instead and it's pretty much the same.
BEAUTY OF JOSEON Revive Eye Serum: Ginseng + Retinal
This has 2% liposome retinal (0.02% active), ginseng extract (10%), niacinamide, adenosine, hyaluronic acid, cholesterol, ceramides, a peptide and a couple of oils/butters. It's a light moisturising lotion and it has a ginseng scent. I've used up two so far and it suits my skin.
Repurchase: Yes.
KSECRET - SEOUL 1988 Eye Cream: Retinal Liposome 4% + Fermented Bean
This one has 4% liposome retinal, niacinamide, some oils and extracts, ferments, hyaluronic acid and at the very end of the list vitamin C, bakuchiol and peptides. Texture is very similar to Beauty of Joseon eye cream. I use it all over the face just like BOJ one and it suits me, but like at that one I see no visible changes in my skin.
Repurchase: Yes.
A.H.C Ten Revolution Real Eye Cream For Face
I've used up two of these so far. I use this daily all over the face, but concentrated around the eyes. It has everything from hydrolysed collagen, niacinamide, centella asiatica, a ton of extracts, allantoin, adenosine, ceramides, peptides, arganine…. It's a medium thick cream and it sits on the skin for a time. I can't claim I noticed any "age-rewind" effects, but it suits me.
Repurchase: Done.
NINE LESS B-Boost 1% Kojic Acid Serum
A brightening serum with niacinamide, tranexamic acid, kojic acid, vitamin C, glutathione, arganine and peptides. It's light, absorbs quickly and it's rich enough to be used on its own if desired. It keeps my skin in good condition.
Repurchase: Done.
THE ORDINARY GF 15% Solution
My second bottle. I won't rave about it because honestly I see no visible difference, but I'm hoping at least it's slowing down the development of lines. It's a growth factor serum that promises a lot of things concerning visible aging, plus that is hydrates and strengthens skin's barrier. Texture is watery and it's easy to layer, so I use it daily as one of the first steps in the morning.
Repurchase: Done.
SKINCYCLOPEDIA 10% Matrixyl® 3000 Face Serum
A serum with peptides. It's a light formula that's easy to layer, so I liked it. Whether it's did anything apart from a hydrating effect, I don't know.
Repurchase: Yes.
GEEK & GORGEOUS A-Game 10
A 0.1% retinal serum. Formula is gentle and light enough, so easy to layer. Due to the presence of retinal it's bright yellow, which leaves a light tint on the skin. I've switched to The Ordinary's 0.2% Retinal, which is stronger.
Repurchase: Yes, but probably the 20 version.
ROHTO MENTHOLATUM Melano CC Premium Brightening Essence
An oily vitamin C product. It's a dry oil and a small amount doesn't spread to a large surface like oils do. There is the obnoxious kind of self-tan smell developing like at all ascorbic acid products (I always wash my hands straight away, but it still makes my hands smell like I held old metal). It has four forms of vitamin C, aside from ascorbic acid also ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate, ascorbyl glucoside and ethyl ascorbic acid. I switched to Cerave's Skin Renewing Vitamin C Serum.
Repurchase: it's not my favourite texture, so probably not.
IUNIK Propolis Vitamin Sleeping Mask
A gel-lotion overnight mask with propolis and plenty of nice ingredients that I use very frequently. I don't think it makes my skin glow (its original promise), but it's deeply hydrating and calming, since it has a lot of centella asiatica. It's scent-free.
Repurchase: Done
SATURDAY SKIN Yuzu Vitamin C Sleep Mask
A clear gel sleeping mask with ascorbic acid, ceramides, retinol and a bunch of peptides at the end of the list, while in the middle there are some extracts (including citrus). It has yellow particles suspended (vitamin C I think) in it refreshing feeling during application. It leaves the skin sticky, so the pillow sticks to the face and in the morning there’s still some of it on the face. There is a spoon added, so you can avoid touching the product in the pot with fingers. I found it hydrating and that's it.
Repurchase: Maybe.
