Yvesom Spirulina Toner
-Clear, Crystalline Skin/ Shiny, Exfoliated Skin/ Tight, Minimized Pores
-The toner provides a protective layer of moisture and protects skin, enhances skin protection.

Yvesom Spirulina Toner comes in a light green box with instruction and details in English which is great for those that can't read Korean.  The dark green bottle is actually plastic so don't worry if you accidentally drop it to the floor.  The opening of the bottle is enough for the liquid to come out.

The ingredients list is short and simple.  There are Spirulina extract (10 000) , papaya fruit extract, Centella Asiatica extract and Protulaca Oleracea are known for axtioxidant ability to help prevent the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.  It is also for soothing and brightening up the skin.   Also  Aloe Vera Extract, Sodium hyalurate, betaine are for hydrating the skin which can speed up healing.

Yvesom Spirulina Toner comes in the pH of the toner is about 5 to 6 .  The clear watery liquid absorbs really fast into the skin.

There is no particular scent to it actually.  It doesn't smell of anything.  If I could describe it would be something like faint almost not existent scent of plastic.

I have been using for 2 weeks and I can it is gentle and hydrating to my skin. It is great during hot weather and for layering a few times on my skin.  It is not enough if you have dry skin type.  I find it soothing and doesn't irritate but I also need to apply other products to prevent the moisture from leaving the skin.  It doesn't cause more acne on my face and does speed up the healing of acne scars but not for using it as a stand alone products.

Overall, Yvesom Spirulina Toner is a nice gentle hydrating gentle toner for acne prone combination or oily skin type.  It is also a great unisex toner for those that dislike scent in their skincare products.

REVIEW ON YVESOM SPIRULINA ONE STEP CLEANSER

Hi beautiful people,

There are so many other types of cleanser coming out that it is hard for me to keep track of everything.  Today is a review on a Korean cleanser which is the oil to foam cleanser, Yvesom Spirulina One-Step Cleanser.

If you are into Kbeauty, I am sure you have heard of the term double cleansing which involved using oil cleanser and then followed by a foam cleanser is recommended for your night routine to have a really nice clean skin.

I know it is troublesome for some people and so now some companies are coming out with oil to foam cleanser which is just a step.

Yvesom_Spirulina One Step Cleanser
-Fixing fundamental skin dryness, soothing skin troubles, and detoxing your skin
-The cleanser does not include any unnatural, harmful substances.
-How to use: By pumping a proper amount, roll and massage it on your skin softly. Cleanse with warm water


Yvesom Spirulina One Step Cleanser comes with a box with ingredient list in English.


As for the ingredients, it is simple with Spirulina being the top ingredients which is 465000ppm .  Coconut oil, glycerin, Jojoba oil, Olive Oil which are for hydration and moisture.  Plant extract are acai, blueberry and cucumber are added to reduce irritation and to calm the skin.

Leptospermum petersonii is Lemon-scented teatree which is the reason that it reminds me of natural insect repellent.

Citric acid is added to reduce the pH of the cleanser.

Potassium hydroxide is the one that change fats into soap in a process called saponification which is what you call a cleanser in this oil to foam cleanser.

Yvesom Spirulina One Step Cleanser has interesting texture.  It is an yellowish oil when applied to  dry skin and then add a little water for the oil to turn into foam.  The cleansing ability is really strong. It removes everything even tint.  As for the pH of the cleanser, take it with grain of salt since I actually take it after I mix my water pH which is 7.  The pH I get from the cleanser when it turns into foam is pH7 .

The cleanser has scent that reminds me of lemongrass mosquitoes repellent  which comes from the lemon scented tea tree oil.  It is pretty strong but the scent doesn't stick to the skin once you wash off the cleanser.

I use this cleanser once every 2 days at night.  It does remove makeup even sweat proof ones and is not drying to my face.  It does help to control the oil production of my face and lessen clogged pores.  However, I find that is can be drying for dry or sensitive skin type.  This cleanser doesn't cause more acne which is nice.  Don't let it get to your eyes because it stung.


Overall, Yvesom Spirulina One Step Cleanser is a nice one step cleanser for those with oily skin or combination skin type or with pores problem. Also check the ingredients that you are not allergic to it.

UNDER USD25 SKINCARE PRODUCTS FOR ACNE PRONE SKIN

Hi beautiful people,

It is not news that I have a pizza face 🍕 in the past.  I am sorry to say that adult acne just won’t just disappeared on its own.   I know many people would say it is cheaper to go to see a dermatologist but the trouble of it is just too much for me.  I rather just order products online😂 than all.

Still, I would suggest you to go see a good dermatologist if you can and don't self treat your acne like I do.

So here are the Top under USD25 skincare products for acne prone skin that I have been using to treat my acne.  There are many products out there but I haven't get to try them all because I like to test my products for at least a month.  I do use a lot of tea tree products and centella asiatica.

All the products below are the products that I have been consistently using for few months or more.  Also check the ingredients since some people cannot use lavender, alcohol or some just don't like the preservative inside some of these products.  For those have some sort of fungal acne, avoid oil cleansers and ferments.

SRB Stabilized Rice Bran Enzyme Powder Wash

SRB Stabilized Rice Bran Enzyme Powder Wash

It is so far one of the gentlest cleansing product that did not sting when I was having episode of skin picking and severe redness.  Since it is in powder, it is easy to carry it around during travelling.  It does foam up and has low pH of 5 which is nice for skin that like pH4-6 cleansers.

Nightingale Teatamin Sleeping Mask

Nightingale Teatamin Sleeping Mask
Don't let the cheap tacky packaging fool you.  This is a sleeping mask that I have been using for a month and just love it since the day I purchase it despite the price being almost equal with the famous Laneige sleeping mask.  There are tea tree, BHA, AHA, mild form of Vitamin A, plant ingredients such as eggplant and centella asiatica inside it but it just works to flatten out those pesky cystic acne the next day.  If your skin can handle tea tree, this is surely the go to for sleeping mask.

Pyunkang Yul 3 Step Mask Pack

Pyunkang Yul 3 Step Mask Pack
It is a nice 3 steps sheet mask that include their peeling gel and the balancing gel which is great for travelling.  The essence sheet mask uses their most famous essence toner (astralagus root).  My face after this mask is always just comfortably glowing.  It is also for someone who works with Korean oriental medicine.

I’M From Mugwort Mask

I’M From Mugwort Mask
Mugwort the other name being Artemisia has been getting popular these day for being the item that calms down the irritated skin or skin problem like acne.  I do like this mugwort mask for calming down my skin when it is irritated from the weather and keeping my skin less red.  It is the go to ingredient for those with acne prone skin but cannot use ingredients like BHA, AHA or tea tree.

Iunik Tea Tree Relief Serum

Iunik Tea Tree Relief Serum
This is a very gentle serum for acne prone skin so you do have to use it with other acne spot treatment else one cannot really see the effect.  It prevents underground acne from forming so I do need to use it daily. As for immediate result, I combine it with the neem herbs to reduce the duration of the acne staying on my face.

Some By Mi AHA BHA PHA Serum

Some By Mi AHA BHA PHA Serum
This serum is strong so if you find that the Some By Mi toner not doing anything, than try this serum instead. It does bring out all the underground acne and caused me purging for 2 weeks. When I start healing, my skin just look so smooth to the point my colleagues was asking me what I "eat" to suddenly have flawless skin.

Purito Centella Green Level Serum

Purito Centella Green Level Serum
This is a light centella asiatica serum that speeds up healing of those acne prone wound and prevent those pus.  Jude Chao from Fifty Shades of Snails gifted me this and she is also loving the centella toner too.  I can ensure you the opinion is mine.  This products also got rave from other friends and on social media.  It doesn't prevent acne or flatten the acne but it sure speed up the healing of the skin.

Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream

Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream
This is nice cream for cooling down the skin at night.  It is not hydrating since it is a treatment product.  It is great for skin that always feel warm.  I use this at night and it is just nice to reduce redness overnight especially if you go for laser procedures or after some extraction at those skin clinics.

Chica Y Chico Tota 3.0

Chica Y Chico Tota 3.0

It contains Totarol, Centella Asiatica Extract, Portulaca Oleracea Extract which are really ingredients that work for my skin.  This cream is also a dupe of some very expensive western brand cream.  This is a product that works on the skin if you are hardworking to apply it twice or three times a day and everyday for at least two weeks.  This is a product that I have been using for acne prone skin since 2014.  This is the product for those that have problem with sebum clogging the pores.

Himalaya Pure Herbs Neem

Himalaya Pure Herbs Neem
If Aryuvedic herbs are more of your thing, then considered trying this Neem herbs. I don't like the Neem oil and find that neem powder works better for my acne prone skin.  You can either eat the capsules one tablet per day or just use the powder topical to reduce the inflammation on the skin.  It is however not for pregnant or breastfeeding mother.  Some people also use it as an alternative to birth control for their irregular female hormone.

By Wishtrend Mandelic Acid Prep 5% Skin Prep Water

By Wishtrend Mandelic Acid Prep 5% Skin Prep Water
This is a gentle daily AHA toner to reduce inflammation since it has antimicrobial or antibacterial abilities.  It helps to prevent spread of acne causing bacteria while at the same time being gentle since it has a big molecules compare to gylocic acid.  Mandelic acid make cell turnover faster by dissolving the bonds that hold skin cells together so some people would see less dull skin.

Oxygen Women And Skin Toner

Oxygen Women And Skin Toner
This is an organic gentle toner from New Zealand that is just wonderful in reducing pimples.  I use it without other serum or other skincare products except for my usual cleanser and I am surprised this just works well even when it is just a toner.  It comes in a spray form so it is easy to apply and it dries down really fast.  It doesn't have any strong actives so for those that cannot use those AHA, BHA, retinol then I guess this toner works well.  It uses Organic Raspberry Water and New Zealand Organic Hops along with some other organic seaweed to reduce acne without being too strong on the skin.  Also it doesn't contain paraben, colouring or harmful ingredients.

Timeless 20% Vitamin C

Timeless 20% Vitamin C +ferulic acid
This is already a very popular affordable stable vitamin C that helps to reduce the red acne scars from the acne.  Besides vitamin C is photo-protective and prevent damage of skin from the UV and this potent vitamin C only needs you to use it once every three days.  You can use it under the sunscreen during the day to help with protecting your skin more.  It is a also vegans which makes it really a nice antioxidant for your skin. I also find that it brighten up my skin gradually too.

Skin1004 Madagascar Centella-Asiatica 100 Ampoule

Skin1004 Madagascar Centella-Asiatica 100 Ampoule

This is 100% centella asiatica and it comes in a huge bottle of 100ml.  It is safe even for pregnant mothers since it is herbs used post child birth to speed up healing during confinement.  Some people also drink the centella asiatica to just calm the skin and reduce acne.  This is a product that I do need to use with other acne products because I only see hydrating properties if I use it alone.  Combination of this with other acne products hydrate the skin reduce acne damage, reduce red scars and dark scars.

Alivelab Centella Dressing Powder

Alivelab Centella Dressing Powder

This a product that you will constantly see it on my blog and also my constant recommendation. I know some people will never heard of it because it is not a big company.  The bottle is sure small though being 8g.  If your skin is the type that cannot use any exfoliating actives, then try using this centella powder to help to reduce irritation, reduce redness, calm your skin and reduce acne scars.  I love using this and went through so many bottles of it already.
Full reviewed Here


So that are all my Top under USD25 skincare products for acne prone skin without make a big hole in your pocket.  You don't have to use exactly what I use in order to get rid of your acne.  Look through the ingredients and research the product you need (a cleanser or cream or serum) .  Don't use the whole bunch of 10 products on your face because that is just recipe for disaster. Best to have around 3-5 products in your routine and there is no need for 10 long skincare steps.



The products are available on Amazon , Wishtrend , StyleKorean, Beautytap, Althea Korea website,
