I received a set of products from the brand and is pleased to share my reviews with you. Lets delve down to read Somethinc Low pH Gentle Jelly Cleanser, Somethinc Supple Power Hyaluronic 9+ Onsen Essence Toner and Somethinc Ceramic Skin Saviour Moisturizer Gel.
Somethinc Low pH Gentle Jelly Cleanser is a vegan-based facial cleanser with jelly texture and formulated with gentle ingredients such as Japanese Mugwort and Tea Tree. It is clinically tested to balance skin pH without drying, stripping and damaging the skin barrier.
How To Use :
1) Wash your face with water, then pour a cleanser as big as almonds into the palms of your hands.
2) Gently rub and blend all over the face in a circular motion for 10 seconds.
3) Rinse then dry and continue to the next step, which is toner.
Somethinc Jelly Cleanser comes in a 100ml tube size with a subtle tea tree and peppermint scent. The packaging gives off a bright chirpy vibe which certainly lifts up your spirits in the mornings.
It has a clear gel texture that foams well but was slightly drying for my skin type. If you like lots of foams, then just massage the cleanser on your skin for a longer time.
Unfortunately, my palms were drying after cleansing and my face has a squeaky sensation after rinsing off. Definitely not a fan of it, however, my hubby loves it so much that I probably might purchase for him.
The cleanser is halal with a pH level 5-6 and is said to be suitable for teenagers and those with sensitive skin. It is also available in 15ml size, if you are interested to try it out first, before investing in the full size.

3) Continue with next skincare steps: Serum- Moisturizer- Oil Serum- Sunscreen.
Touted for 48 hour deep hydration lock and nourishment with 9 layers of Hyaluronic Acid and Onsen water, I was excited to try this out as Hyaluronic Acid works pretty well for me.
It is available in both 40ml and 120ml size and I received mine in the 40ml size. A pretty tiny bottle in a travel friendly size with a flick top cap and a inner protective cover.
The texture is very runny and applies well with a slightly tacky after-feel. While the Supple Power Hyaluronic 9+ Onsen Essence Toner left my skin smooth, plumped and dewy, I dislike the overpowering frangipani oil scent. Adding on, I didn't feel that the hydration lasted for more than a day.
Interestingly, the description on the back of the 40ml bottle has more Bahasa Indonesia than English, considering that it is being sold in Singapore.
The essence toner is halal with a pH level 5.

Staying in a humid country like Singapore and coupled with my combination-dehydrated skin type, a gel moisturiser works better for me so I had high hopes for this. The Ceramic Skin Saviour Moisturizer Gel is available in 25ml and 50ml sizes, and I received the 25ml tube size.
I was in love with the texture upon first feel - lightweight gel with a burst of hydration and a cooling sensation but unfortunately, it stung on my cheeks and upper lips area, causing redness in the first week of usage.
Because of the stinging, I stopped using it for a month before returning to it, and thankfully, it no longer stings. It has a subtle greasy finishing that gets oilier as the day goes by, which isn't welcomed for my skin type, however, it left my skin hydrated, soft and smooth.
The gel cream is halal with a pH level 6-7.
