[ Review ] The Inkey List Vitamin C Serum

 

Product Description

Formulated with 30% pure L-ascorbic Acid, The Inkey List Vitamin C Serum helps your skin appear brighter and targets signs of aging. It also helps to protect against free radicals and pollution. Best used in the AM, the rich texture gives an instant smoothing effect, making it a great base for makeup.

Vitamin C is a powerful, multi-functional antioxidant and skin brightening ingredient. It helps to tackle the appearance of hyperpigmentation, dullness, and fine lines.

A good friend gifted The Inkey List Peptide Moisturizer, Vitamin C Serum and Niacinamide Serum as Christmas gifts last year and I was thankful for the chance to be able to try this brand. While I enjoyed using the Peptide Moisturizer, but unfortunately, the Vitamin C serum was too strong for my sensitive skin. 

Packaging, Scent and Texture

The Inkey List Vitamin C Serum is a 30ml tube in its signature black and white colours. It has a distinct weird scent and the texture has a smooth silicone feel with w lightweight cream consistency.

[ Review ] Dr. Althea Pure Grinding Cleansing Balm

Infused with Madecassoside and Centella Extract, the formula soothes sensitive and acne-prone skin, reducing redness and irritation.

I have been enjoying Dr. Althea products of late, thanks to a Stylekorean campaign. You may check out my reviews on Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream and Dr. Althea Vitamin C Boosting Serum which I emptied this year.

My latest product, Dr. Althea Pure Grinding Cleansing Balm has quickly become a favorite of mine for lighter makeup days so lets delve down to the review!

Packaging, Scent and Texture

Dr. Althea Pure Grinding Cleansing Balm comes in this grinder container which I absolutely adore, for its convenient and hygienic application, although its really difficult to ascertain when its ending, which can be a bummer.
