OK! So today’s review will be on the Iunik’s Tea Tree Relief Serum.
I was given this product to try out by iunik and 2 others that will share later on this week~ It’s quite funny how I chose to review this product first because I’ve used the other iunik products before using this one.

Product price may vary where you purchase it from (est. $20 CDN to $23 CDN) for 50mL

What is your skin type?
My skin type is combination – dehydrated but oily t zone, sensitive and acne prone.
My cheeks and chin are often very dry.

What is tea tree oil used for?
Tea Tree oil is applied on the skin to treat acne and various infections.
Tea tree oil can reduce skin inflammation, allergic skin reactions and disinfecting the skin by killing bacteria and fungus.

Product Claims:
1. This can help to calm and relief the skin
2. Contains 67% Tea Tree Extract Water – soothing & moisturizing the skin
3. Contains 19.5% Centella Extract – help alleviate skin traces
4. 6% Sprout Extract for abundant moisturizing and nourishing the skin

Here is the list of their ingredients taken straight from their website:

I find it absolutely refreshing to see companies such as iunik being so transparent and honest about their brand and products. You don’t have many cosmetic brands who openly share the ingredients of their products. Usually you would have to search it up on google/third party website the sells it.

My thoughts:

This serum has a light green hue to it however it is odourless, spreads easily and leaves no residue behind. I’m VERY picky when it comes to serums because a lot of “nourishing” ones always seem to leave this tackiness to my skin and this does not do that. I’ve used this serum particularly on my breakouts as a spot treatment and it’s superb. Sometimes my pimple patches do absolutely nothing for me so I have to reach serums and ointments to cure and calm down the inflammation. I used this serum 4 nights in a row and my pimples near my chin have diminished. Within the 2nd and 3rd night, my pimples have shrunk, no more redness and faded beautifully. You can still see that it’s healing but hey, better than having an angry red pimple sitting there. FANTASTIC!

Overall:

Texture: 5/5 – Watery and lightweight

Scent: 5/5 – Odorless! I was hoping for a light tea tree scent. Nope, nothing! Great for those who are sensitive to scents or dislikes scents.

Price: 5/5 – Reasonable and lasts a long time

Performance: 5/5 – As always, you must be consistent with these sort of products until the pimple has diminished significantly

Packaging: 5/5 – Simple and easy to read – they are not extra with their packaging and it even states the claims at the front of the bottle! The dropper is well made and super easy to control. It doesn’t dispense too much product or too little.

1. Powerful Relief
2. Soothing Care
3. Natural Moisturizing
4. Whitening & Wrinkle Care

Until next time, friends!
Have a good day~

[REVIEW] Innisfree Jeju Orchid Fluid

innis1

Hello everyone, I hope you are all having a wonderful start to your weekend. I’ve been meaning to do a review on this product from time but I haven’t gotten the opportunity to until now. This is one of my favourites to use for my night time routine and I will share why! This product is part of the Innisfree Jeju Orchid line and this particular line is specifically for anti aging. The Jeju Orchid products were formulated to reduce wrinkles, evening out skin tone, nourish the skin, pore care and elasticity. This is my FAVORUITE line of all skincare products because not only it is affordable, every product has a generous amount where it will last you a long time and also is very effective+gentle on sensitive skin. I have sensitive, combination and acne-prone skin so I have to be very cautious of what products I apply on my face. There is a light fragrance to these products however I have not noticed my skin getting irritated or getting inflamed from using them.

Innisfree Jeju Orchid Fluid

Initially, I was confused about what exactly this product might be because I don’t own anything like it. It has a very thin, water-like consistency but yet disperses very evenly on the skin and is nourishing. I usually shy away from these types of consistencies simply because they don’t usually do much for me however this product surprised me how well it absorbed onto my skin. This gives me very similar results the Laneige sleeping pack does. See the photo below of how the consistency of the product looks like:

Overall thoughts: I personally really loved this product. There was absolutely no tacky residue and I found this product fine underneath makeup. It didn’t make my makeup shift, oxidize or change the overall look of it. This is all around an amazing product and can be used during the day time, underneath makeup, regular skincare and also a sleeping pack! If you have never smelled any of the orchid line products, you have to when you get the chance!

Thanks for reading, I will see you next time~

Cheers!

[REVIEW] Mediheal’s Pumpkin Ade Mask

Hey hey friends,

This is my very first mask review post! I first discovered this mask on instagram and I saw various posts on it so I wanted to try it out. I was strolling around Miniso one day and came across this one along with their lime ade one so I got a few of both to try out.

My skin type: Sensitive, combination + dehydrated and acne prone

 

 

Claims

  • Solves dry skin problems
  • Contains Hyaluronic Acid (Binds skin moisture) & Ceramide (Structuring a protective barrier for the skin)
  • Long-term use can solve any allergies caused by dry skin
  • Tightens loosen pores
  • Regulates sebum as well as provide abundance moisture
  • Tencel fabric mask ~ eco friendly fiber obtained from eucalyptus pulp with extremely soft texture and high air-permebility

Ingredients – cosDNA

  • cb6ca27e85d32ec47e818cb80c7ce300.png

 

PROS

  • Delicious scent, really reminds me of the Kocostar pumpkin patches mask however it smells more like pumpkin puree with vanilla than it does for pumpkin regardless it smells amazing
  • Adorable packaging – reminds me of fall time
  • Smoothens and provides a nice cooling effect on the skin
  • SURPRISINGLY did not break out from it
  • Absorbs well, after removing it the serum was more or less gone

CONS

  • Mask is on the thicker side, I prefer thinner/gel masks!
  • Very irritating, I was very itchy after I removed off the mask – the skin around my cheeks were quite red
  • Mask did not fit my face very well and it often flare out and form random openings
  • Even though it smelled fantastic, the fragrance most likely irritated my skin
  • Not enough serum inside, I personally found the sheet mask on the “drier” side. I prefer drenched, soaked in serum masks – I always take the excess product and apply it on my neck and arms
  • Leaves a slight tackiness to the skin – I don’t like feeling sticky at all.

Verdict: 1/5

1 star for the scent, HA! This mask would probably perform fine on those who don’t have sensitive skin. My skin does not like fragrance. I can get away with products with a lower dosage of fragrance (has to be in the very bottom of the ingredient list).
