Very decently priced face wash! I think it has been working well to help with my dark spots, but my only problem with it is that it dries out the skin and leaves that squeaky feeling. Some people might like that, but I just found it a bit unexpected because Korean skin care is usually focussed on being non-stripping and moisturizing. Make sure to moisturize after using this! -

I was really expecting a lot more from this. It comes out foamy from the bottle but after a few seconds on your skin, the bubbles are almost non-existent. The foaming pump almost just seems like a gimmick. Surprisingly it also runs out very quickly. It went through it in about a month and face washes usually last me about 3. My biggest problem with this was the smell. It smells like burnt plastic. I understand that the medication (Benzyl Peroxide) doesn't smell the best, but none of my prescription strength acne products that had it smelled that bad. Overall it kept my acne at bay, but it didn't eradicate it. If you really like(d) this, I'd stick to the gel version of it. -

It can be hard to spread around, but with a drop of oil or some moisturizer, it looks beautiful! It's a nice medium coverage with a matte finish (which is probably what you want if you're using this for acne-prone skin). I'm not sure if the salicylic acid in it really does anything to my skin, but it isn't doing anything bad to it! I also love the packaging because you can control how much foundation comes out as opposed to pouring it out of a glass jar and hoping for the best. -

Very ordinary foundation... Its nothing special and I feel like there are a lot better foundations out there if you just spend a little more money. This slips around so much, and it not matte at all like it claims to be. It'll feel wet on your face the whole day if you don't powder over it and because of that, it'll come off your face easily too. One precaution is that this is much thinner and water-like than most foundations so be careful when you first use it. -
The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA 2%

When I first started using this, it was a struggle, but in the end, I think it's worth it! I first used this alone (after my essence and serums) and it stung. It wasn't too bad but I don't have sensitive skin. To me, that just meant it was doing something. However, my main problem with it is that it pills. If you rub it into your face for too long/rub your face after putting it on it'll peel off into chunks. I've tried mixing it into my serums and moisturizers which helped, but it won't work with everything (it'll curdle). I found that mixing it with something of a similar texture and then adding something with more slip will work best. I mix mine with Clinique's smart serum and then add moisturizer/oil for extra spreadability if I need it. After using this for 2 months, my scars have faded quite a bit! (I also use this in conjunction with alpha arbutin so maybe it's that too!) -

This is the MOST DRYING face wash I've ever used. Simply touching the product for half a second will give you a weird squeaky skin texture. When I used this product, my skin was oily and I still couldn't handle this product. People like to believe this squeaky texture means the skin is squeaky clean, but to put it to the test, I used my clarisonic with another facial cleanser and my brush head still came out brown from the leftover foundation on my skin. It's one thing to dry my face out, but not even clean it completely? What a waste of $20. If you like the squeaky feeling there are tons of other face washes that are way cheaper that do the same thing. -

My favourite foundation from Clinique! I've used many of their foundations, including their original superbalanced makeup, but this one is FAR better. It gives way more coverage without feeling too much heavier (but of course it'll heavier because of the SPF). Usually, SPF will give you an awkward white cast, but this doesn't. This means I can actually protect my skin without looking ghostly during the day! It also stays put for longer, unlike the original which slides around on the skin easily. -
AOA wonder skin poreless primer

When I first used this product, it worked really well! I have no idea what I did to make it work so well because some of the other times I've used it, it just started to peel off of my face whenever I applied foundation. It's something I feel like I need to be lucky for. While the product does work well to make you look poreless, it definitely will not work if it pills off your face. What I usually do is mix it with a primer with a similar or completely matt consistency and apply it with my fingers (and don't rub for too long because it'll pill off) and apply foundation with a beauty blender. Even though the price is really good, I would rather keep my dollar and have something that stays on my face without coming up with tricks to do so. -

This conditioner became my holy grail right away. Nothing else I've ever used in drug stores, including other Herbal Essences products have moisturized my hair the same way this has. As much money as I shell out for other conditioners, this almost always wins! My hair is very frizzy, and don't get me wrong, this will not completely fix that, but it sure helps a ton. My only concern is that the bottle can easily get conditioner stuck inside the lid whenver you close it and it'll start to look pretty nasty. I'd also like to add the shampoo is no where near as good and is relatively stripping. Do not use them together. -

When you put this stuff on, it'll sting. Personally, I love that feeling because it really makes me believe it works! I wouldn't recommend putting this on your entire face because there isn't a lot of product (it's also expensive) and it won't feel good. It's best to use it as a spot treatment. One of my favourite things about it is that it leaves a thin film on top of the acne and you can safely put make up over it without worrying! -
