Samples/Freebies:
The combination of all these brought so much difference to my skin (except Etude House's Tint My Brows)!
1. Sulwhasoo's Sample Kit
I can sing my praises for this brand all day long. I finally know why so many people love Sulwhasoo. I honestly bought this just to try it out and I am now so dead because my skin happens to love them and they costs like a tonne of money.
This set includes: Essential Firming Cream (5ml), First Care Activating Serum (4ml), Essential Balancing Water EX (x2, 5ml), Essential Balancing Emulsion EX (x2, 5ml).
I know this seems so unbelievable but I can see the differences after just one use. Like I said, I am so screwed. (I still have no idea why it's Sulwhasoo and not Sulhwasoo. Free trivia: The chinese characters of the brand is 雪(xue = snow); 花 (hua = flower); 秀 (xiu = elegance)
2. COSRX's Galactomyces 95 Whitening Power Essence
I also bought this because I heard so many people raving over this in reddit. I started using this not long after I started using Sulwhasoo's and by then, my skin was already progressively improving. I think this complements the sample set really well.
3. Etude House's Tint My Brows (Light Brown)
I have thick and dark eyebrows and I was under the impression that this will lighten the color of my brows, even for just a short period of time. The first time I tried this, I only waited for an hour. It brought no difference at all. So, I decided to try it again and leave it on the entire night. The next day, I woke up with huge acnes lining my eyebrows + no apparent difference in terms of the color of my brows. I don't think this product is to blame though. My eyebrows are just too dark and I am still trying to figure out a way to make it appear less fierce without over-plucking it.
This is a little purchase I made when Jolse had a promotion.
1. Skinfood's Grape Seed Oil
First of all, I love the packaging! It looks like a bottle of wine. There is the carving of an angel on the cap of the bottle. The oil itself smells really nice and is really to my skin upon application. However, it's effect only last for a couple of hours.
2. COSRX's Acne Pimple Master Patch
I have a pretty 'hmm....' relationship with this. It didn't really shrink my pimples per se, but it sure did stopped me from trying to touch my pimples.
Aiken is a drugstore brand you can find here in Malaysia. Since my skin is oily and acne-prone, I decided to give this acne set a try.
I don't remember how much I paid for all this, but as far as I know, they are pretty affordable, a lot cheaper than Korean skincare products I found online.
Aiken Tea-Tree Set:
1. Aiken Tea Tree Cleansing Foam
2. Aiken Tea Tree Oil
3. Aiken Tea Tree Pore Refining Toner
4. Aiken Tea Tree Daily Moisturizing Lotion
5. Aiken 100% Pure Tea Tree Oil
I tried this for over a month and I would really recommend the pimple cream and pure tea tree oil for those who have pimple problems. I would first put the tea tree oil on my skin before bed. Then I cover them with the cream. It will shrink a little (or dry up completely if the pimple is small) when I wake up the next morning.
