Review for Sabon Green Rose Body Scrub
Product Description
Sabon Green Rose Body Scrub is a skin-renewing body scrub that offers a luxurious exfoliating experience, combining the power of natural Dead Sea salt granules with a nourishing blend of Vitamin E, Almond Oil, Jojoba Oil, and Borage Oil. It gently buffs away dead skin cells and impurities, while deeply moisturizing and conditioning the skin.

How to Use
Recommended for use on clean, moist skin
Mix a little, take a handful, and massage thoroughly in circular motions; rinse well
Suitable for all skin types

I purchased a 60g of the Sabon Green Rose Body Scrub during a sale for a very good price as my previous experience with Sabon Patchouli Lavender Vanilla Body Scrub has been great. 

Sabon Green Rose Body Scrub Texture


Housed in a charming glass jar with a metal cap and rustic brown paper detailing, the Sabon Green Rose Body Scrub makes a lovely first impression. The scent is uplifting yet calming—ideal for winding down after a long, hectic day and carving out a little me-time.

Free from parabens and mineral oils, this scrub is more than just pretty packaging. It effectively smoothens and softens the skin, leaving it silky, supple, and refreshed.

The Dead Sea salt granules offer a satisfying exfoliation that buffs away dead skin cells, though the texture may feel a bit too abrasive for sensitive skin types. Personally, I found the grains fine enough not to be an issue, but it’s something to keep in mind if your skin leans delicate.

All in all, it's a sensory, spa-like treat that delivers both results and relaxation.

Product Description
Cle De Peau Hydro-Softening Lotion is an essence lotion that increases skin’s resistance to dryness by locking in a surplus of enriched nutrients and moisture. While actively improving roughness and dryness, skin‘s water-retention capacity is increased, leading to strengthened skin.

This marks my first foray into Clé de Peau Beauté, a luxury Japanese skincare and makeup brand under the Shiseido group. Known for its fusion of cutting-edge science and refined elegance, Clé de Peau is all about elevating skin to its most radiant state. The brand places strong emphasis on skin intelligence, hydration, and luminosity which are often reflected in its luxe textures, premium ingredients, and exquisite packaging.

[ Review ] Hyaah Synergy Mask Pad

 
Hyaah Synergy Mask Pad Review
Product Description
Formulated with 90% sea kelp extract sustainably sourced from the clean waters of Wando, Korea, this essence is a powerhouse of marine nourishment. Certified by the Korean FDA for its efficacy in improving pore clarity, density, transparency, and skin elasticity, it delivers visible skin improvements through tested results.

I received a set of Hyaah products as part of a Stylekorean collaboration. They were Mild But Deep Cleansing Water, Licorice First Essence, All In One Ectoin Lotion on top of this Synergy Mask Pad.

Hyaah, pronounced as Hee:YA is a Korean skincare brand which is said to consist of good ingredients, honest processing and continuous research. 

As a skincare content creator, I believe in being selective with my collaborations — only those that genuinely align with my skin type, values, and what I feel will truly benefit my skin. This intentional approach not only helps me maintain integrity, but also allows me to create more thoughtful and meaningful content that you can trust.

Stylekorean x Hyaah invited me for a collaboration which I accepted because I need gentle, non-greasy and hydrating products in this humid climate like Singapore, for my combination-dehydrated skin type. Glad that their products do not disappoint, despite being my first foray into the brand.

[ Review ] T'else Kombucha Teatox Essence

 
T'else Kombucha Teatox Essence Review
Product Description
T'else Kombucha Teatox Essence is a first-step essence with Kombucha extract to hydrate and soften the skin texture. 

I purchased T'else Kombucha Teatox Essence together with Hyggee Vegan Sun CreamHerbloom Calming Days Vegan SunscreenSkin1004 Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun SerumForetderm Derma Relief Vegan Suncream and others, during a sale. The essence wasn't really in my list, as skincare essence isn't an essential for me in my skincare routine. 

A first step essence is a specific type of essence used immediately after cleansing—before toner, serum, or moisturizer. It’s designed to be the very first product that touches your skin post-cleanse, hence the name.

These essences are usually lightweight, watery in texture, and packed with fermented ingredients, hydrating agents, or skin-renewing actives. Their primary purpose is to balance the skin's pH, replenish moisture lost during cleansing, and enhance the effectiveness of the rest of your skincare routine by improving absorption.

First step essences are especially popular in Korean skincare routines, where skin prep is essential to achieving that healthy, radiant "glass skin" look. Ideal for all skin types—especially dull, dehydrated, or tired skin—these essences work quietly but powerfully to boost your skin’s vitality from the very first step.


Let’s take a closer look at how T'else Kombucha Teatox Essence performs as a first step essence and whether it lives up to the claims.
