Purito Daily Go-To Sunscreen SPF 50+ PA++++

Water, Butyloctyl Salicylate, Dibutyl Adipate, Propanediol, Butylene Glycol, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, Ethylhexyl Triazone, Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Titanium Dioxide, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Hydrogenated Poly(C6-14 Olefin), 1,2-Hexanediol, Polyglyceryl-2 Stearate, Aluminum Hydroxide, Glyceryl Stearate, Stearyl Alcohol, Sodium Polyacrylate, Stearic Acid, Polyhydroxystearic Acid, Behenyl Alcohol, Polymethylsilsesquioxane, Ethylhexyl Stearate, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer, Caprylyl Glycol, Trideceth-6, Ethylhexylglycerin, Xanthan Gum, Centella Asiatica Extract, Madecassoside, Asiaticoside, Asiatic Acid, Madecassic Acid

* Tried 1 sample

* No scent

* White cream, a bit oily

* Easy to spread on skin, no white cast

* Leaves skin very "oily" and shiny and it stays that way, looked the same over an hour later, hair sticks to my face, greasy

* Feels comfortable on skin, doesn't feel heavy, is not drying

* I feel a bit apprehensive towards Purito because of the sunscreen scandal but I do realize they have addressed the problem and this sunscreen is ok and I wouldn't mind using more as an at home sunscreen (because of the shine and grease)

* Tried 1 sample

* No scent

* Almost like a gel cream

* It is moisturizing and feels nice, but definitely not "hyper moisturizing" like the bottle says! I was testing Caudalie SOS  Intense Moisturizing Cream the day before and after and Caudalie is definitely a lot more moisturizing (but heavier too of course)

* Tried 1 sample

* No scent

* Somewhat hydrating

* A bit thicker, essence like consistency

* Not sure if it broke me out a little or not

* What I feel after trying two Iunik products: they seem "basic", nothing miraculous or exciting but you know they can't go disastrously wrong

Ingredients:

Water, Cyclopentasiloxane, Zinc Oxide, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Titanium Oxide, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Disiloxane, Caprylyl Methincone, Dimethicone, PEG-10 Dimethicone, Niacinamide, Sodium Acrylates Crosspolymer-2, Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer, Nymphaea Caerulea Flower Water, Corchorus Olitorius Leaf Extract, Hordeum Vulgare Extract, Nymphaea Alba Flower Extract, Disteariumdimonium Hectorite, Magnesium Sulphate, Polysilicone-11, Stearic Acid, Aluminum Hydroxide, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, 1,2-Hexanediol, Dimethicone/PEG-10/15 Crosspolymer, Sorbitan Caprylate, Polyglyceryl-6 Polyricinoleate, Glyceryl Caprylate, Ethyl Hexylglycerin, Adenosine, Dipropylene Glycol, Sodium Citrate, Tocopherol, Glutathione, Tranexamic Acid, Sodium Palmitoyl Proline, Fragrance.

* Tried 1 sample

* Not much scent, a bit powdery, not strong

* Like the name says: tone up sunscreen. It is a mineral spf and it definitely feels like one, a bit thicker white cream, and leaves the white cast even if little is used, but I feel the whitecast is not quite as bad as usually with mineral sunscreens

* Pilled on the sides of my face where there is peach fuzz

* Interesting to test, but I am so over mineral sunscreens, especially the ones that can't act as primers because they pill  (white cast is bearable then usually)

SUM Secret Essence


Ingredients:

?-

* Tried 1 sample

* Like clear water, very light

* Not much scent? Can't even remember!

* Absorbed immediately, left skin slightly softer, like your own skin but better

* I think this broke me out around my mouth and jaw


Isa Knox Phyto Retinol Oil

Ingredients:

?-

* Tried 2 samples

* Yellow golden thick serum essence, not oily at all

* Absorbed very nicely

* Not very hydrating but not drying either

* Perfume scent, strong at first but dissipates, very familiar so I think many k-beauty brands use this similar scent profile

* I think they still have this products but with the name AGE FOCUS Phyto Pro-RETINOL Wrinkle Serum and it is quite pricy at around USD 60



andLAB Mela Vita Whitening Cream

Ingredients:

?-

* Tried 1 sample

* Not really a scent

* White thick cream

* For some reason I thought whitening could mean that it is brightening with vitamin C etc but it is actually whitening, tone up cream

* My skin seemed to like this cream though, white or not! I used it during the night.

* Not super moisturizing, after a few hours almost drying.


andLAB Hyarucerin Moisture Cream

Ingredients:

?-

* Tried 1 sample

* A herbal scent, not strong but slightly lingers

* White cream

* Absorbs nicely, leaves skin slightly silky

* Moisturizing but not too heavy

* I could easily use more! The one sample lasted maybe 6 days for me... andLAB has generous sample sizes! I actually went looking for this cream but couldn't find it available anywhere. Maybe the brand pulled out of international market.


Ogana Cell Peptide Concentrating True Cream

Ingredients:

Water, Glycerin, Dipropylene Glycol, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Vegetable Oil, Cetearyl Alcohol, Dipentaerythrityl Hexa C5-9 Acid Esters, Cyclopentasiloxane, Arachidyl Alcohol, Behenyl Alcohol, Arachidyl Glucoside, Cyclohexasiloxane, Sodium Hyaluronate, Dimethicone, Cetearyl Glucoside, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer, Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6, Pullulan, Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate, Yeast Beta-Glucan, Alanine, Arginine, Glycine, Glutamic Acid, Serine, Copper Tripeptide-1, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Nonapeptide-1, Hexapeptide-61 Dimer, Saccharomyces/Viscum Album (Mistletoe) Ferment Extract, Lactobacillus/Soybean Ferment Extract, Saccharomyces/Imperata Cylindrica Root Ferment Extract, Hydroxyacetophenone, Caprylhydroxamic Acid, Propanediol, Disodium EDTA, Fragrance.

* Tried 1 sample

* Ever so slight neutral scent

* Thick white cream

* Felt comforting and smooth on skin, leaves a slight protective layer, doesn't completely absorb

* Moisturizing

* Contains Saccharomyces but using this twice didn't make my acne worse

* I wouldn't mind using more as a comforting winter cream based on texture!

* Ogana Cell is actually a bit expensive brand and this cream costs about 80-120 USD for 50 ml so I guess the texture better feel nice! Out of my price range, though!

Ogana Cell Peptide Concentrating Tornado Cleanser

Ingredients:

* Gel cleanser, doesn't foam
