Great for acne during pregnancy
I first tried this serum two years ago while I was pregnant and struggling with acne. As we all know, retinoids are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, so I was searching for a safe and effective alternative — and this was it! The serum is lightweight, almost odourless (at least to me), absorbs quickly into the skin, and leaves no sticky residue. It helped fade my post-acne marks quite fast, especially the fresh ones. My acne also improved significantly: my skin became less oily, more balanced, and gained a healthy glow. The 15% azelaic acid gives a gentle peeling effect that really makes a difference. Since then, I’ve repurchased it regularly and always enjoy using it. My only downsides are the size and the price. The 30–50ml formats are a bit too small for daily use, and I’d love to see a 100ml version. At €35 for 30ml or €56 for 50ml, I do find it a little overpriced — though I must say, the packaging is excellent. Over the past few years, I’ve seen the brand experiment with different packaging, and now the serum comes in a glass bottle with a pump. The product is well-protected, and the packaging is easy to recycle.
Don't like it at all
it is very greasy and just lays on top of the skin. When I put it on at night, my skin is still greasy in the morning after waking up. I have been using it for over 1 year and see no results whatsoever. So for me, I won't be buying this again to be honest.
Wake up with smooth skin
This has yellow tint but I never noticed any stain on clothes or on my face either. This has 0.2% retinal so I was scared to use but oh boy it works like charm and I have been using since over a month and it still have some for 15ml, it is more than enough as it spreads well on the face. Without stripping your barrier or purging, it is simply amazing. #AugustFavourite

This under makeup!!!!
This under makeup omg it’s like the welda skin good!!! This left a lovely finish to my makeup look which was amazing it made me look shiny to the point I wasn’t sweating it off 🫣 it doesn’t leave white casting which is a huge thing for me as that usually makes my makeup crumble
God i love these so much absolute lifesavers
I honestly could not recommend these more, if you have a pimple you need gone overnight these are your go to product! Although they are on the pricey side they work miracles, they draw the impurities out from your pimple overnight/ in 6 hours leaving a little squeeze for you and then completely disappearing, they hydrate and heal your broken skin from pimples and are a spectacular product to annihilate pimples and look cute doing it as they come in different colours and are star shaped! I could not recommend more!!
Bali Body Gradual Face Tan
I love the packaging. The press-down pump dispenser is super convenient. It’s hygienic and never gets messy, plus the correct amount is always dispensed. This face fake tan looks amazing on my skincare shelf too. The product does have a slight fake-tan smell, but it’s very mild and disappears on application. It doesn’t feel like a fake tan at all. The colour builds subtley throughout the day, so that by the evening, your skin looks a bit more sun-kissed and glowy.
Mario Badescu Drying Cream
One of my go-to products. It's one of the few pimple spot treatments that is tinted instead of white. I put it on over moisturizer and apply makeup over top. It blends well under makeup because of its color. The smell is not great but definitely gets the job done
My fave :)!
Hands down the prettiest tinted cream I used on my skin! YES it gets oilier throughout the day but for the days when you just want to jump on some Zoom calls or run out to do the groceries, go to the zoo what have you, this is truly a great performer and looks stunning on my skin!
Great but hard to apply
As someone who use sunscreen daily, I enjoy using this SPF. It's light weight, leaves no white cast, and I could reapply a few times without feeling greasy. Only issue is the consistency is very watery. It's almost a liquid and I find it hard to apply.
Perfect glowy skin product
Amazing product for natural finish and a beautiful glow. Applies very easily and evenly, do not even need a brush. Only downside are perfume and sometimes clinging to dry spots. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for the ‘clean girl’ aesthetic that simply wants to even their skin tone, without overdoing it in terms of coverage.
Unfortunately it didn't work
Unfortunately it didn't work as I expected, I followed the way of use as the brand indicates but my blackheads didn't come out. Someone softened and I managed to squeeze with the help of an extractor, but the product itself did not remove the blackheads. Also, the second time I used a part of the tape it stuck to my skin.
Not nearly nice enough to be this expensive
It's always better to have sun protection vs no sun protection, and this is an SPF50 that does it's job. Doesn't leave an obvious white cast. Other than that, I don't like it much. The formula is sticky, and stays sticky and shiny for quite some time. It stings my eyes a little bit when I start sweating, and it has a pretty strong and unappealing smell to it. There's nothing in the ingredient list that catches my eye, and nothing really off putting. Except maybe fragrance. I don't think this product is suitable for sensitive skin. And it's expensive AF!
Not for sensitive skin
Aggressive for my sensitive skin. As soon as I apply it to my pimples, it burns a bit like a itch sensation. The smell is strong and sometimes leaves your skin too dry. I applied it to the area where my pimples are with a cotton swab. I wouldn’t recommend it to sensitive skin types.
Not as good as it claims
Mizon All In One Snail Repair Cream is a good option if you have oily skin or if you live in hot humid place and you are looking for a hydrating cream. This feels very light-weight on skin and perfect for hot humid weather on it’s own. However if you live in colder climate and you have combination or dry skin, then this is not your best bet if you plan to use it as moisturizer. However during my research about this product, i came across this article on kryzuy where it is mentioned that this is a facecream and it needs t be followed by a moisturizer. If that is the case, this is perfect for that purpose. It worked on evening out skintone and improving skin texture but it did not do much on fine lines or melasma (I have already finished the whole product). My skin felt smoother, firmer and plumper. I will not repurchase it. But I do recommend it for oily skinned beauties.
Not worth your money
This was one of the products that was recommended by my friends and colleagues for acne (honestly, I think it was just the hype at that time). **REVIEW: Did not work on my skin and is not worth the money. I would recommend other products than this.
Alright
I use this product in my PM night routine for the last 5 months and noticed that my skin feels a bit smoother but I did not notice many "acne scars" fading - something I heard about this product
Oh I love this mask too; I love too switch it all up. It makes your skin glow and makes it looks healthy. I recommend this, I use this 1 time in a week.
Ideal for reducing pigment spots and as a bonus, this serum gives a very nice glow!
A serum that works silently
I've been using Caudalie's Vinoperfect Serum for a while now. After a few weeks, I did see a difference. My skin has become a lot calmer and smoother, especially those spots and small red spots just fade slowly. The serum itself is super light and absorbs quickly without feeling sticky. I usually use it in the morning under my day cream. No hassle, no crazy smell, just clean and fresh. What I like is that it doesn't irritate my skin. It doesn't make my skin oily, but it doesn't dry either. It's not cheap, but if you're looking for something that really helps with blemishes and just makes your skin look fresher, this is one to add to your wishlist.
