Stocked up on some Korean skincare essentials from Beauty Amora. Experience was quite pleasant, I ordered on the 29th and received the package on the 2nd. No freebies but that isn’t something I care about, as the pricing for everything I ordered was the cheapest I’ve seen compared to anywhere else and I used a 20% off code. So all in all this was definitely value for money.
Cos De Baha Tranexamic Acid 5% Niacinamide Serum
This is a restock so I’ve already gone through two bottles of this stuff. Amazing, Helps my hyperpigmentation left over from acne and surprisingly helped keep my acne at bay as well. Also very hydrating, my skin felt considerably softer after a month of using this serum. It is extremely tacky and sticky but I like to let my previous layer of skincare dry down, then spray my face lightly with water and then apply this serum – with this method it sinks into skin like a dream.
Cos De Baha Azelaic Acid 10% Serum
Another restock. If you also do not like Finacea and AZ Clear, then I highly recommend this azelaic acid serum. While it is a lower concentration, as someone with highly sensitive skin this works very well for me and does what it needs to do – reduces my redness and breakouts. Could not live without this serum.
Cos De Baha Vitamin C MSM Serum
The concentration of Vitamin C in this serum is unknown, although I assume it would be quite low (less than 5%). It does have ferulic acid and Vitamin E in the formulation as well, so you could consider it a very budget dupe of the famous skinceuticals. My skin just cannot handle high concentrations of Vitamin C so I turned to this. I’d say its definitely helped with my dark spots but not in a ground breaking way, had to use it for att least a month to see results, and I consider this more of a ‘maintenance’ vitamin C. I would however notice a difference if I took it out of my routine, so I will definitely be keeping this in.
ISNTree Mugwort Calming Powder Wash
This is HG status for me. I use this about once a week, twice if I really feel like I need it. It leaves my skin considerably smoother, and its a gentle alternative to a physical exfoliant imo – does not aggravate or irritate my sensitive skin AT ALL.
HaruHaru Wonder Black Rice Pure Mineral Daily Relief Sunscreen
Just a lightweight basic mineral sunscreen. Absolutely do not recommend for extremely sunny/high UV days, as I live in Australia I would use something local made for said days. I have this purely for low UV days, also because I can’t handle chemical sunscreens and this one seems to blend in/leave the least white cast for my medium-dark skintone. If I find better, I would not repurchase.
SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Probio-Cica Bakuchiol Eye Cream
Bought this for my mum and she says its “nice” so I can’t really give much of a review, but it seems to help with her wrinkles.
Beauty of Joseon Centella Asiatica Calming Mask
Another HG. Whenever I’m irritated for whatever reason, this mask just hydrates and calms my skin down beautifully, and the best part is its cheap! (I used to use LRP B5 sheet mask). Have used this sheet mask on my mum, friends, relatives, etc and they all love it. I got it during buy 2 get 1 free, so if you go rush to buy something I highly recommend you go grab this.
Anyway that was all, hope you enjoyed my little haul !
