This is a daily toner for gentle exfoliation that removes dead skin cells, leftover residue and impurities with AHA+BHA Complex. This complex is also taking care of excess sebum production. It contains Hyaluroic Acid & Trehalose Extract which are excellent for moist retention for your skin hydration. This toner is based on 92% natural ingredients including Alaska glacial water. Tea tree and aloe vera leaf extracts are providing skin soothing while making skin clean and clear. The full list of ingredients you can find here.

This toner keeps optimal moisture balance in the skin, makes it bright and smooth, gently dislodge dirt and oils to keep you fresh. If you use it on regular basis your skin becomes plum, moist, and shiny because of improvement of the skin tone and texture while sebum production is kept at bay.

After such exfoliation the active ingredients of essences or serums will easily reach the deeper layers of the skin and their effectiveness will be improved. Your skin will be perfectly prepped for make-up and feel super-soft and smooth all day.

My comments: As I was running low on my beloved low pH toner Ifactory SomeByMi Aha-Bha-Pha 30 Days Miracle Toner, I decided to order Nightingale Daily Derma Eraser Toner. I don’t know how I even lived without such toners! This toner is truly amazing! If your skin can’t exist without acids than this toner with low acids concentration will be your savior for summer time (please do not forget about sunscreens). Toner has amazing ginger scent and is very thin, like water. It adsorbs fast, doesn’t sting and cleans the face in a very gentle way. The volume is huge. I’m using it during my evening routine: I’m wetting the cotton pad with the toner and wiping my skin gently. This toner is really moisturizing and makes skin smooth and shiny without stripping it. You can choose between several types: Mild (suitable for all skin types), Aroma Rose (to hydrate and glow), Lemon Tea Tree (treats troubled skin), Fresh Peach (pore tightening), Yuja & Ginger (to revitalize and brighten).

Sulwhasoo Essential Balancing Water EX–review

Sulwhasoo’s essential water soothes and hydrates, leaving your skin supple. The water containing Matrimony Vine and Purslane provides hydration, leaving your skin with a delicate veil of moisture. Spreads smoothly and absorbs quickly, providing long-lasting hydration, soothing the skin, and leaving a clean finish.

My comments: I need to confess – as much as I love this brand, I haven’t bought this toner till now. But the small cute bottles are just so ideal for traveling with hand luggage. Therefore I finally bought it:) It is not really water-y although the name states it. This hydrating toner is thicker, and is more of a gel-type. And a little goes long way. It has a gorgeous light, herb-flowery scent as all the Sulwasoo products. I think I will pass buying the full size version as there is plenty of toner in this small bottle.

Laneige Water Bank Double Layering Oil-review

Double-layering oil contains Hydro Ion Mineral Water that intensely replenishes the skin with moisture. Moisture will be immediately absorbed deeply into skin as soon as it is applied while the oil film forms a smooth layer over the skin.

Product Details:

Grape seed oil and naturally-derived vitamin E ingredient protects and effectively moisturizes skin that is dehydrated by the cold weather and other external environmental factors. For more information, read here.

My comments: It took me a long time until I’ve decided to insert oils into my beauty routine. It happened last winter when I found this product. Skin dryness, that was caused by central heating, disappeared after short use. The oil has a very gentle and pleasant texture, due to the mineral water that is a part of the product components. I would recommend giving this oil a try. Just swap your regular night cream with this product, for 3 times a week, and see the difference. Testers comes in small bottles, but they will last you for a long time.

PETITFEE Black Pearl Gold Hydrogel Mask Pack Sheet-review

The PETITFEE Black Pearl Hydrogel Mask Pack is rich in nutrients derived from marine algae, combined with valuable mineral extracts such as Black Pearl, 24k gold, B-glucan, Peat Water, Fucoidan-v.

  • Relaxing hydrogel texture
  • Mask in 2 pieces for an optimal application

My comments: My face appreciates the hydrogel masks more than the regular sheet ones. Even though the hydrogel masks are more expensive, I do buy them from time to time, just to give myself the pleasure of using them. This mask comes in 2 pieces, that allows an optimal and easy application. While on the face, it “gives away” all of its serum to the skin, and gradually dries up on the face. I usually keep the mask on my skin for the prescribed 20 minutes. After this time, I even do not use additional moisturizing cream, because my skin feels sufficiently moist. The bag in which the mask comes in, is full of working serum, so I use the remains on my neck, chest area and hands. Due to the frequent usage of sheet masks, I almost don’t use a hand cream. Here to that!

Purito Centella Green Level Eye Cream–review

My favorite brand Purito launched a new eye cream with Centella Asiatica!

I felt in love with this brand about three years ago when I got a sample of their Vitamin C serum. And it was love from the first sight I should admit. You know, I have always an immediate feeling about a new product if it suits me. My skin kind of tells me that this cream or serum will be beneficial for it. It was always the case with almost every Purito product in a positive way. Yes, almost everything from their products became a HG for me. And this concerns a new eye cream as well! I got samples of this eye cream with my another regular orders of Purito items. There is still not much information concerning Purito first eye cream as it is a super newby! So here is what I could find. Continue reading Purito Centella Green Level Eye Cream–review

Wish Formula The Mask With Centella Honey Fermented Serum–review

Contains Centella Asiatica extract, honey ferment extract, beta-glucan, panthenol, allantoin, hyaluronic acid and more natural ferment extract to provide intensive moisturizing, nourishing and soothing effect. It visibly brightens the complexion while also providing superior hydration for that radiant, dewy glow! This is also perfect for soothing sensitive skin because bee honey has natural anti-inflammatory properties that calm the skin.

* Centella Asiatica boost collagens and develop protective skin barrier.

* Premium Bee Honey, rich in vitamins, minerals, and amino acids calms the skin and is very nourishing on the skin.

Does not contain: Parabens, Synthetic Dyes & Mineral Oils.

My comments: It is a rare occasion to find such a “pure” ingredient list with attractive fermented extracts. The essence is watery and almost scent-less, with a tiny hint of herbal scent. And there is a lot of essence in the packet. The fitting is pretty decent. It felt actually very hydrating and left my skin plump and firm. I used this mask on “bare” face and I did not feel any need to apply any other moisturizer after I removed the mask. I recommend this mask to all people with sensitive skin as it will most probably become your HG mask.

It’s skin PRESTIGE Rose De Black Mask Sheet

The Prestige Rose De Black Mask Sheet provides elasticity and leaves your skin feeling moist and smooth with Black Rose Extract (5,000ppm), Rose Water, and NMF (Natural Moisturizing Factor). Rose Water is nature’s beauty water. It’s effective for maintaining the skin’s pH balance by hydrating and revitalizing the skin, as well as controlling excess sebum and toning the pores with its natural astringent properties. This lovely rose-scented sheet mask also contains Adenosine and Niacinamide to aid in wrinkle care and promote skin radiance.

My comments: This mask has a lot of excellent features. Firstly, the packaging is worth mentioning! It’s not bright, and all black with a gold script on. So, if you need a gift for your friend… Then definitely go with the Prestige Rose De Black Mask. For me, as a black mask lover, this would be a perfect present. Secondly, the mask fit just perfectly. The distance between the nose and the eyes is very comfortable, that helps it to stay solid on the face during the application time. Put it on and go on with home chores. Thirdly, the package claims that the mask has 23 grams of ampoule serum inside, and you’ll get all of them on your face. The sheet is infused with active ingredients, but nothing drips. Last, but not least is the smell! It’s just unimaginable, and hard to describe. My regret is that I bought only a couple of these masks. It left me stunned, and I will definitely buy more.

PURITO Galacto Niacin 97 Power Essence

Lately I write lots of reviews about the products of Purito brand. It is not only because I am in love with Purito cosmetics, but also because of their philosophy. Their philosophy is to be honest and make safe, natural products, without artificial fragrances, preservatives, surfactants and PEG’s; to make eco-friendly packaging when possible and not to conduct animal testing.

And now about essence itself. The main ingredients are Galactomyces ferment filtrate (92%) rich in vitamins, minerals, amino acids, peptides, and Niacinamid (5% – it is a very high percentage for Korean skincare, so it will help brighten your skin tone). The full list of ingredients you can find here. This essence doesn’t contain any preservatives and it is made in small batches. They recommend placing this in the refrigerator and using it quickly. The manufacturer promises brightening of hyper-pigmentation, reduction of fine lines, moisturization and sebum production control.

My comments: I did not notice anything special the first week of usage and I was about to write that I did not recommend this essence. But during the second week my hyper-pigmentation became considerably lighter and I decided to give the essence the second chance. And it was worth it! My skin was so smooth and supple to the touch after I applied this essence. I felt that the essence gave my skin a quick boost of moisturizing hydration. It absorbs quickly, without any greasy or sticky residue. The essence is very delicate and it is great for every skin type including sensitive one.
