[ Review ] The Inkey List Omega Water Cream

 

Product Description

The Inkey List Omega Water Cream is a lightweight, water-based gel moisturiser that immediately hydrates skin without oiliness and is formulated to support a healthy skin barrier. It repairs the skin's barrier with its simple combination of an Omega Fatty Acid Complex, Glycerin, Betaine and Niacinamide, which work together to optimise long-lasting hydration, help control oil levels and even 

I purchased The Inkey List Omega Water Cream together with the Hyaluronic Acid Face Serum and Oat Cleansing Balm during my trip to Perth last year. The combination is very similar to The Inkey List The Starter Kit, making it a great introduction to the brand.

I decided to give the Water Cream a try because I had previously enjoyed using The Inkey List Peptide Moisturizer, Vitamin C Serum and Niacinamide Serum, all of which worked well for my combination skin.

As someone living in Singapore's hot and humid climate, I'm always on the lookout for a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer that provides enough hydration without feeling heavy or greasy. The name "Water Cream" immediately caught my attention, as it sounded like exactly the kind of texture my skin prefers.

[ Review ] Dr. Satin Caviar Extract Refining Placenta Essence

 

Product Description

Dr Satin Caviar Extract Refining Placenta Essence is a lightweight anti-aging serum formulated with a blend of highly concentrated placenta extract, caviar extract, Sea Fennel CIC2, niacinamide (Vitamin B3), wild yam extract, hyaluronic acid and licorice extract. Together, these ingredients work to deeply hydrate the skin while targeting common concerns such as dryness, dullness, loss of firmness and uneven skin tone.

Placenta extract has been a popular ingredient in Asian skincare for decades due to its rich composition of amino acids, peptides, vitamins, minerals and growth factors that help nourish and condition the skin. It is commonly included in anti-aging formulations to improve skin hydration, support the skin barrier and promote a smoother, more radiant complexion.

Research into placenta-derived ingredients has shown promising results. In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial published in Nutrients, healthy women who consumed porcine placenta extract daily for four weeks experienced significant improvements in skin hydration and overall skin condition compared with those who received a placebo. 

Researchers attributed these benefits to the bioactive compounds found in placenta extract, which may help support skin repair and collagen production. While this study investigated oral supplementation rather than topical skincare, it highlights the potential of placenta-derived ingredients and explains why they continue to be incorporated into skincare products designed to promote healthier, more youthful-looking skin.

[ Review ] Galactomyces Face Mask

 

Product Description

Galactomyces Face Mask hydrates the skin with naturally derived moisturizing ingredients leading to a dewy complexion. 

Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate has become one of the most sought-after fermented skincare ingredients in recent years. Rich in amino acids, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, this yeast-derived ferment is known for helping to improve skin hydration, brighten dull complexions, refine the appearance of pores and strengthen the skin barrier.

As someone who enjoys trying skincare products with fermented ingredients, I couldn't resist picking up this Galactomyces sheet mask during a 2-for-1 promotion ( choose between a few variants ) at Don Don Donki in Singapore. Despite its minimalist packaging and unfamiliar brand, the ingredient list looked surprisingly promising, so I decided to give it a try.

Interestingly, I couldn't find much information or reviews about this mask online, making it feel like a hidden gem. With no expectations, I started using it as my daily sheet mask before my trip to Japan, and it quickly became one of my favourite discoveries.

An itchy scalp can be both frustrating and uncomfortable, especially when it comes with stubborn dandruff. Common causes of dandruff and scalp itch include an overgrowth of naturally occurring yeast, excess oil production, dry skin, product buildup, sensitivity to hair care products, and skin conditions such as seborrhoeic dermatitis. While proper scalp hygiene and thoroughly drying your hair after washing can help maintain a healthy scalp, finding the right anti-dandruff shampoo is often key to managing the condition.
