I am sure you know that I am all about acne prone skincare products since I acne prone skin. Do you understand my pain of some people giving you unsolicited advise when they never have acne before? Oh, if only we could outgrown that acne phase just by using ONLY water. If only skincare is that easy πΆπ.
I have been using this Korean serum for more than a month, iUNIK Tea Tree Relief Serum. This is a gentle and a plant based serum to treat acne and for even dry skin type.

iUNIK Tea Tree Relief Serum comes in a glass dropper style 50ml bottle. For the price of USD15.49, I think it is really affordable for the ingredients in it. The green colour comes from the ingredients and it has not synthetic colouring or fragrance in it.
What I like and find interesting is the simple ingredients consisting of Tea Tree Leaf Water 67%, Centella Asiatica Leaf Water 19.5% and the other 13.5 % are extract from plants and preservative.
There are butylene Gylcol, niacinamide, Broccoli extract, alfalfa extract, cabbage extract, wheat germ extract, rapeseed, radish seed, allantoin, beta glucan, adenosine, Ethylhexylglycerin and sodium copper chlorophyllin.
Sodium copper chlorophyllin is to reduce odor since not every plant smells like sugar and flowers since this product does not contain any added synthetic fragrance. It is a safe ingredients that had been using for a long time.
I like the short and simple ingredients. Still do check the ingredients list since there can be some people who are allergic to ingredients in it.
iUNIK Tea Tree Relief Serum is for calming the skin and to treat the acne at the same time. It does not dry my skin at all even when I only apply this serum as the last step since my place is at 35 Celcius (93 F) and humidity that is at least 92%.
Tea tree water is not the same as tea tree oil as it could be a steam distilled fraction from the leaves or is the left over after the tea tree oil is distilled from the plant. It contains part of the tea tree plant that are soluble in water and usually has a similar smell to the essential oil. So technicality no tea tree oil, but comes from the tea tree plant. In other words, tea water is much gentler that tea tree oil because tea tree oil usually will cause burn if it goes undiluted on the skin.
Terpinen-4-ol is a terpene that has an antibacterial and antifungal effect which is an active ingredient of tea tree oil. The water-soluble fraction identified as terpinen-4-ol, Ξ±-terpineol, and 1,8-cineol. Terpinen-4-ol was able to diminish the production of TNF-Ξ±, IL-1Ξ², IL-8, IL-10, and prostaglandin E2 by lipopolysaccharide-activated monocytes.
It means that it is a potential antioxidant. Tree Leaf Water 67% with Centella Asiatica Leaf Water 19.5% and other ingredients to soothe the skin irritation, whack the pimples into submission and then corn it with healing wound ingredients such as vitamin E, adenosine (for proper healing with no scars), anti-irritating and stimulate growth of healthy tissue.
Beta glucan, Broccoli, alfalfa, cabbage contains great antioxidants like vitamin A, C, and E work to support health function of immune cells and boost immune system. Our skin do absorb some product of what we put on our skin so serum does help the skin to heal faster.
iUNIK Tea Tree Relief Serum is a great nice gentle serum. The serum is unscented and it is a very watery liquid. It absorb almost immediately upon application on my skin. It is not drying at all given that I use it twice a day. My pimples actually get really tiny the next day and disappeared the day after. As for underground pimples, the one you can feel painful but there is no head to press, it does flatten them out and some immediately come up to a head the next day. I think it must be the high percentage of all the great ingredients put into this bottle of serum.
I actually stop using all my other acne products to try it for two days and the effect is still wonderfully fast and gentle. Given that the bottle is 50ml, I think it is a great deal and I myself would recommend it for someone who could not deal with strong BHA, AHA or just wanted something that they can use daily, show fast result but being gentle at the same time.
Overall, iUNIK Tea Tree Relief Serum is a great acne prone serum for all skin types. The simple short ingredients make it great for even sensitive skin like mine. Currently, it is one of my staple product for acne.

Today is Skin and Lab Dr.Spot Clear Don't Touch Trouble made by Korean dermatologist laboratory.
This an acne spot treatment that I had drag the review to this day because I bought it and don't really have all the time to review everything. I had already finished this tube before writing this review to confirm my opinion on it. Besides, I must have caught some laziness symptom that I am unable to write much these few months.
So, here is the review on Skin and Lab Dr.Spot Clear Don't Touch Trouble.

Skin and Lab Dr.Spot Clear Don't Touch Trouble comes in a tube which is easy to dispense the product. The light yellowish gel smell of fresh leaves. The gel absorb easily into my skin easily. It does dry my skin.
The ingredients are of all natural extract that calm the skin and suitable for someone looking for plant based acne spot treatment. The ingredients are plant based such as Sophora Extract, Portulaca Extract, Dryopteris Crassirhizoma Nakai Extract, Plantain Extract, Akane Extract which is my opinion are just too gentle and more suitable for very mild acne and dry skin type. It doesn't have any 'actives' or strong ingredients that can exfoliate the skin.
For me, it only work for whiteheads, calm redness and get rid of the red acne marks. However, it is not effective for moderate acne, cystic acne, blackheads or fungal acne. Those other type of acne needs something much more stronger than this gentle calming spot treatment. The great thing about this Skin and Lab Dr.Spot Clear Don't Touch Trouble is that you can apply a lot of it on your skin without worrying that your face will turn red or burn your skin out of it.
If you have more than just whiteheads, I think you would probably need other stronger acne treatment products than just relying on this Skin and Lab Dr.Spot Clear Don't Touch Trouble. You can use it alone but I think you won't see much result compare to combining with an exfoliating toner or serum.
Overall, Skin and Lab Dr.Spot Clear Don't Touch Trouble is suitable for someone with very mild acne, loving plant ingredients, dry skin, redness and cannot use any stronger actives.

Today is a review to deal with those pesky red acne scars after the acne left your face. It is the sign of damaged skin (wound) on your face that should be treated gently.
Here is the By Wishtrend TECA 1% Barrier Cream that is made to deal with the aftermaths of the acne. It is not for fixing the 'holes' on the face. This is a transparent cream for hyperpigmentation and red acne scars or what people called Post inflammatory Erythema. (PIE)
By Wishtrend TECA 1% Barrier Cream has a beautiful teal plastic tube which is easy for dispensing product.
As for the ingredient list, this is one of the product that doesn't contain Butylene Glycol so it can be a choice for someone that wants to avoid this ingredient.
Centella asiatica extract which are Asiaticoside, asiactic acid and madecassic acid are somewhere in the middle of the list which make the products a bit slower to show effect since centella asiatica are know to be mild.
Glyceryl Stearate is EcoCert certified which offers skin conditioning, moisturization and hydration due to the glycerin. Cetearyl Alcohol is used fatty acid is used as emollient, emulsifier or thicker. PEG 40 - Hydrogenated Castor Oil is used as a solubilizer, emulsifier, and surfactant in cosmetics. Cyclopentasiloxane& Dimethicone are for the texture of the products which explains the silky slippery texture which most people describe as silicone feeling.
Tromethamine is to mask the scent of the product.
Allantoin as hydrating agent.
Other ingredients are emulsifier, lubricant,binders and etc.
By Wishtrend TECA 1% Barrier Cream is made for dry acne prone skin and for the post recovery of acne so it might feels slight oilier on oily or combination skin type(don't apply too much).
It has this silky slippery texture which resembles makeup primer for oil control. If you love to use vaseline on your face which I do not recommend if you have oily acne prone skin and live in the hot humid weather, I am sure you will like the texture of this cream very much.
So, the application is very smooth with a matte transparent look. It is suitable under makeup since it doesn't flakes. It doesn't contain added synthetic fragrance so I can't smell anything from application on my face.
By Wishtrend TECA 1% Barrier Cream protect the skin by creating a barrier of moisture around the wound and calm the skin with the centella asiatica. If you are the type that use vaseline when apply the skin at night for moisture or after cut yourself, I think apply this cream would be better and offer the same protection.
I use it as spot treatment on the area where I pick the acne twice a day at night before my moisturiser. It helps to keep the area moist, doesn't sting, heal the skin when I pick on my skin (I am just a human being π ) and fade those red and black acne scars. It took around 5 days to reduce the red scars (depending on the size of your scar) from the PIE. However, it doesn't get rid of existing cystic or those underground acne as it is for a post recovery barrier cream.
Overall, By Wishtrend TECA 1% Barrier Cream is a mild post recovery acne cream for acne skin type to deal with damaged broken skin and lighten those red acne scars. A post recovery product for anyone that want to avoid Butylene Glycol.

Today is the review of the ID. AZ Dermastic Water Fit Water from IdPla cosmetics. Other sheet masks that I received are ID.AZ Dermastic Bright Fit Mask and ID.AZ Dermastic Golden Fit Mask.
You can find ID.AZ sheet masks from Watsons Malaysia. ID.AZ Dermastic sheet masks are from Korean ‘ID Health Care Group’ is a company which had given operation to about 60, 000 people for 18 years.
So, their products are suitable for people even after skincare procedure such as lasers.

ID. AZ Dermastic Water Fit Water has the lining of the packet as blue to signify water which I think is great to make it easier for people to identify one suitable for their skin.
The ingredients inside the sheet mask are basically hydrating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, collagen, sea water, panthenol, betaine, allantoin, irish moss,glycerin. So this mask is moisturising and best used for someone with dry skin and right after procedures that dries the skin such as laser.
Keeping the skin hydrated and moisturised is best to fasten up the peeling and healing process.
Most of the time, if the skin is really dry with damaged barrier moisture, the skin does not heal well and become really red. So, using a hydrating sheet mask like this can balance up the water and oil balance on the skin.
ID. AZ Dermastic Water Fit Water has super skinny fit, soothe my skin and create a moist skin. It is great that it helps to replenish the tired skin overnight. However, with combination or oily skin it is recommend to use this sheet mask once per week and not on daily basis.
It does have fragrance in it. The sheet mask is super thin and has a lot of left over essence which is great for longer hours of sheet mask. It does help to hydrate the flaky area near my mouth area.
Overall, ID. AZ Dermastic Water Fit Water is a great sheet mask for those with damaged skin barrier, dry skin or after procedures such as peels and laser.
