My first foray into the world of the Sleeping Pack. This is certainly not a must have but if you're in the mood for a weekly luxurious overnight moisturizing treatment, then, honey, saddle up! (Why horses? Why now?)
This product aims to whiten, brighten, firm, and moisturize your mug. You're meant to slather it on as your last step in your nighttime skincare routine. It absorbs well, doesn't feel sticky and cloying. It's delicately scented and the texture is quite thick and creamy. All very good.
I found that my skin was bouncy and smooth the next morning. Any whitening and brightening effects were minimal. But, more importantly, my face was well moisturized and didn't look slick and oily. Huzzah!
Good for those who are creeping toward 40 and looking for a solid addition to their wrinkle-fighting arsenal.

Hyperpigmentation was getting me down. My regular toner (rhymes with 'Schmeutrogena More Defining Boner') wasn't helping in the least, and I always hated the fact that it contained alcohol. So after combing the internet (okay, I googled BHA toner, it took all of five seconds) I found a Korean company called Cosrx (Cos-Ricks? Cos-R-ex?) who was creating great products with great ingredients. After reading about their AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner, I ordered a bottle from Ebay (approx. $16).
The product comes in a 150ml, easy-to-use, spray pump plastic bottle. It has little to no scent, it doesn't make your skin feel tight or tacky, and a little goes a very long way. I use it daily, in the evening, after washing with my Holika Holika Gonyak Soft Jelly cleanser and my Clarisonic.
After 28 days, my acne scars have faded quite dramatically. Like, we're talking double-take worthy. My skin tone has evened out and I can't stop touching my face (after washing my hands, of course).
This product has earned a permanent place on my bathroom counter.

As an oily skinned beast, this aloe vera gel is the perfect moisturizer for me. Absorbs quickly, doesn't leave a tacky residue, and leaves my face soft and supple. Very soothing.

Handy little tool. Helps to cut back on how much product you use on your face. Makes your cleanser last twice as long. Creates gentle foam. Not terribly exciting but very useful.

One of the better galactomyces treatments I've used. I was pleasantly surprised to note there was little to no fragrance to this product (usually these fermented essences smell...a bit off). Have used it during my nighttime routine, post-wash, post-toner, pre-moisturizer. My acne spots have lightened considerably and my skin tone has even out. And the price? Extremely budget-friendly. -

Delightful gentle cleansing foam. I was looking for a gentle cleanser to use in conjunction with my Tactuo topical cream. I've used Holika Holika products before with excellent results, so I was eager to give this cleanser a try. Great foaming action, leaves your face clean without that squeaky, tight feeling, and easy on the skin. -
