Here is a review on Skin1004 Centella Light Cleansing Oil.  


The Centella line products are made of minimal essential ingredients for gentle but effective skincare, while excluding unnecessary harmful preservatives or chemicals.

The Tea-Trica Line is specifically designed to treat acne-prone skin. The combination of tea tree extract, cica(centella) and Pine tree complex, is excellent for soothing acne-prone and sensitive skin.

REVIEW ON THE RAW BY PASTELS GRAPE SEED OIL

Hi beautiful,

If you have oily skin, most of the time you are told to go oil free in your skincare products.  While keeping skin hydrated is true, drying out your skin with all the harsh products isn't going to do your skin any good.
I have combination acne prone skin and find that some types of oil helps in my skincare routine.
Just make sure to choose suitable one for your skin.

Here is a review on The Raw by Pastels Grape Seed Oil.

Choice 2: Use it after moisturiser.
Choice 3: Mix it with your moisturiser for more intense hydration at night. (dry skin)


Packaging: There is no box. It comes in a dark glass bottle and in dropper style.
Ingredients
100% Cold Pressed Grape Seed Oil 

Grapeseed oil is suitable for oily acne prone skin because it contains linoleic acid which will not clog the pores.  Besides, it contains vitamin E, flavonoids and OPC Factor™.  

OPC works by combination of vitamins, minerals, and bioflavonoids called oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs), which are powerful antioxidants.

Vitamin E&linoleic acid lightens skin discolorations such as acne scars and sunspots.  It also speed up healing process and reduce formation of keloid scars( raised enlarged scarring).

Texture:  Watery light texture oil that absorbs onto the skin without residue.  There isn't any strong scent to it.
Review: I use 2-3 drops of grape seed oil for my whole face at night.  I find that grape seed oil helps with hydration, reduce skin oiliness and speed up healing.  It does help to get rid of the pigmentation help by acne.  It doesn't clogged my skin but seems to help to reduce acne on my face after using it for 3 weeks.  I tried it on my skin is weak after exfoliation and it doesn't irritate my skin.

Overall: The Raw by Pastels Grape Seed Oil is an affordable oil suitable for acne prone oily skin.

REVIEW ON PALMER'S SCAR SERUM

Hi beautiful,

This is a product that I have been using for more than 3years but I haven't got the time to talk about it at all.
It is a very affordable product for any skin type, acne prone skin or people dealing with scars like I do.
Not sponsored 😂

Here is a review on Palmer Scar Serum.

Description:
Palmer's Cocoa Butter Scar Serum combines five powerful ingredients to reduce the appearance of scars resulting from surgery, injury, burns, stretch marks, C-section, cuts, scrapes, and insect bites. 

A unique blend of pure Cocoa Butter and powerful antioxidant Vitamin E will soften and moisturise dry and scarred skin whilst strengthening skin cells functions.

A concentrated serum that penetrates quickly while forming a moisture-proof barrier.

Suitable for Vegans

Usage Instructions:
Apply Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Scar Serum 3-4 times daily. Massage in. NOT intended to be used on open wounds.



Packaging: It comes in a pump glass bottle.  It has details and ingredients listed in English.
Ingredients talk
Ingredients: Tocopherol (Vitamin E),  Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter,  Carthamus tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil, Dimethicone, Allium Cepa (Onion) Bulb Extract

 Paraben free, sulfate free, alcohol free, Eu allergen free, silicone- not free and fungal acne safe (malassezia)-not safe.  The ingredient being Carthamus tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil.

Cocoa Butter: a rich, natural moisturiser that leaves skin soft and silky, transforming even the roughest, driest areas into buttery soft skin

Vitamin E: a powerful antioxidant that helps improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks and imperfections on the skin, giving a more even and toned appearance


Texture: It doesn't have a nice texture.  It is like thick honey on your skin.It doesn't absorb so it is good to use at night.  I like the scent of cocoa butter.

Review: I applied this at night on my skin.  I tried it on its own which is a bit thick to apply all over my face.  I have no problem applying this scar serum if it is just on a small part of my face with tap on it.  It doesn't clogged or gives me acne which is really good considering how thick this scar serum is.  It really helps to keep my skin hydrated, speed up healing and smoothen the skin at that area with time.  It is not miracle but does get rid of my red acne scarring.  It is not to get rid of existing cystic acne though.
It works on my eczema patch on my body too.

Overall: This is a good affordable scar serum to treat scaring on facial skin without clogging the skin.  It is most effective in conjunction with other healing products and suitable for any skin type.

KOREAN SKINCARE PRODUCTS FOR ACNE PRONE SKIN

Hi beautiful people,

Here is my Korean skincare products for acne prone skin.

I actually haven't wrote about my skincare routine some time.  So here an update of the products that I use for I think few years.  Sorry because I keep testing new products and I feel that it makes me looks like I have new routine every month.  Also, I keep waiting for that perfect skincare products to share until I just end up forgeting.

I am a skincare slut so I can never be loyal to just one skincare routine forever.  There is always something that I feel can be better or more interesting out there.

Anyway, here are some of the products that I am currently using and some are repeated favourite back from 5years ago.  Few months from now, you will probably see me reviewing some other products because I am a skincare hoe and can't get stuck to the same one cleanser, one moisturiser and one sunscreen out there.  

Some may be repeated favourite few years down the line while some will probably fade off.

Oh, before that I am going to be 30++ this year.  I have combination skin type.  My skin problems are acne prone, redness, pores, blackheads, fungal acne and ageing skin problem.  I also have leftover pits from acne.  

I am currently not a fan of going for accutance, facials, pills, tretinoin or laser.  I mean it is alright and good if you do.  It is just my personal opinions since I don't have much money for procedures.

Please do check the ingredients of the products since some people are highly adamant about not using alcohols, parabens or certain ingredients in their skincare products.

All products here are fungal safe except the sunscreen and the Timeless.

REVIEW ON KEEP COOL OCEAN DEEP BLUE OIL

Hi beautiful,

For you this Korean brand, Keep Cool Ocean Deep Blue Oil 😍which is made by Samsung.

For oily skin type or combination, consider adding oil into your skincare routine.  It tricks the skin into believing that the skin already has enough oil and stop producing more oil.

If you are the type that goes everything oil free and dry your skin out by using harsh cleanser to completely devoid your skin of oil then you will realise that your skin becomes even more oilier and cause more skin problems.

Keep Cool has 3 lines- Ocean, Soothe and Shine.  Ocean line is to keep your skin hydrated, moisturise and really good for out of balance skin type and dry skin type.

Mix to use with other skincare products:
1. Add 1-2 drop into Soothe Bamboo Lotion/ Toner/ Serum or Ocean Hydrating Gel Cream.
2. Apply on the face evenly and pat gently for better absorption.

Use on body parts:
1. Apply a proper amount on dry hands, nails, cuticles or hair.

Packaging: It comes in a nice blue box with dropper style cute 25ml transparent glass bottle that showed the teal oil colour.  There are list of ingredients listed in English.

Ingredients talk:
Ingredients:
Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Cyperus Esculentus Root Oil, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Rosa Canina Fruit Oil, Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil, Moringa Oleifera Seed Oil, Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract, Melia Azadirachta Flower Extract, Coccinia Indica Fruit Extract, Solanum Melongena (Eggplant) Fruit Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Flower Extract, Ocimum Sanctum Leaf Extract, Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract, Corallina Officinalis Extract, Pelargonium Graveolens Flower Oil, Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil, Salvia Sclarea (Clary) Oil, Citral, Eugenol, Geraniol, Linalool, Citronellol, Limonene.

Paraben free, sulfate free, alcohol free, Eu allergen-not, silicone free, not fungal-acne safe (malassezia).

Oils are considered not fungal safe but not all the oils are the same.

The 8 kinds of 100% plant derived oils presented inside this is safe for acne prone skin and especially helpful to deal with inflamation and imbalanced skin type.  Eggplant, Turmeric and Holy Basil are all great ingredients for skin that is prone to redness.  I especially like Melia Azadirachta which is actually Neem that helps tremendously with my hormonal acne and I still use and like it a lot.


Jojoba Seed Oil- with moisturizing properties, jojoba oil protects and lock in skin moisture. It contains a natural vitamin E that work as an antioxidant.

Eggplant Fruit Extract- gives the beautiful deep blue tint in this product. It has skin moisturizing and antimicrobial properties. It is great for anyone with acne-prone skin and damaged skin barrier.

Rose Canina oil- Rosehip is high in omega fatty acids content (linoleic acid and oleic acid) with skin regenerative properties. As a natural source of antioxidant, it has both oil-soluble vitamin E and contains light vitamin A.


Texture and scent: It has a slight sweet herbal scent similar to basil.  It has natural deep blue coloured oil that came from plant.  The light oil turns tranparent absorbing well onto the skin leaving a dewy texture the whole day.

Review:  I use about two drops added into my moisturiser for night application.  It makes my skin so glowing, balanced my skin oil production and makes my skin smoother.  There are actually more than one use for this oil 😄 .  I love this oil on my face so saving this beautiful bottle for long time.  It reduces acne on my face with daily use.  I start to see effect of this oil after 2 weeks and it keeps my skin smooth and doesn't irritate my fungal acne.


Overall:  This is a nice light oil for hydrated glowing skin.  It is suitable for imbalanced skin and acne prone skin type.  I will repurchase it for sure.  It is actually rare to find neem in skincare products and the herbal scent smells is just so good.
