this is the description on their US website: a powerful night-time ampoule packed with 10 probiotics of different functions that work together to improve the natural strength of your skin. moisturizes, improves wrinkles, improves elasticity, and enhances skin texture. recommended for all skin types.

ingredients: bifida ferment lysate, butylene glycol, glycerin, propanediol, betaine, water, niacinamide, pentylene glycol, 1,2-hexandiol, diethoxyethyl succinate, chondrus crispus extract, squalane, panthenol, polyglyceryl-10 laurate, saccharum officinarum (sugarcane) extract, hydrogenated lecithin, carbomer, tromethamine, xanthan gum, polyquaternium-51, ethylhexylglycerin, adenosine, dextrin, theobroma cacao (cocoa) extract, beta vulgaris (beet) root extract, brassica oleracea capitata (cabbage) leaf extract, daucus carota sativa (carrot) root extract, solanum melongena (eggplant) fruit extract, vaccinium angustifolium (blueberry) fruit extract, citrus aurantium bergamia (bergamot) fruit oil, disodium EDTA, sodium hyaluronate, lactobacillus/soybean ferment extract, leuconostoc/radish root ferment filtrate, bifida ferment filtrate, lactobacillus ferment, lactobacillus ferment lysate, lactobacillus/acerola cherry ferment, lactobacillus/punica granatum fruit ferment extract, pelargonium graveolens flower oil, helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil, citrus aurantium dulcis (orange) peel oil, lavandula angustifolia (lavender) oil, lupinus albus seed extract, aspergillus ferment, swiftlet nest extract, anthemis nobilis flower oil, santalum album (sandalwood) oil, tocopherol, ceramide NP, cholesterol.

the packaging: it comes in a dark purple box. there's description on the box in english and korean, as well as the ingredients list, all written on the box. the bottle is a gradient transparent to dark purple glass bottle with dropper to dispense the product. it looks exactly like the older version, only the color that's changed. the dropper works well. you can adjust the pressure to pick half or full dropper. at the bottom of the bottle, the glass is transparent so you can see the pale gold serum from the outside. there's a bit description at the back of the bottle. it comes in 50 ml which is slightly more than the usual serum size.

the scent: it has that warm scent, but i think it's probably because of all the ingredients mix, not because of added fragrance. as you can see in the ingredients list, they have a lot of flower extract as well, like lavender, sandalwood and bergamot which you can usually see in aromatic essential oil, so i think those ingredients make the subtle scent that i can pick. it's super subtle so i don't think it'd irritate your skin.

the product: the serum is viscous pale gold. slightly thicker than tosowoong propolis ampoule. but still spreadable and absorbed well into my skin. i usually use half to three quarter dropper according to the condition of my skin that day. i usually pat it, and it would give sticky feeling, but it layers well under and over other skincare products that i use. i never experience any pilling with this serum.

the result: right of bat, i can feel the moisturizing effect that this serum gives. no wonder because they pack this serum with lots of moisturizing agents, like glycerin, betaine, squalane, panthenol, and even ceramide. obviously when you're giving your skin enough moisture then sealing it with occlusive, it will plump up your skin and you will see lesser wrinkles. as i haven't experienced any wrinkles yet, i can't say that it works in that area, but no wrinkle means it does work in preventing wrinkles as well. as for skin texture, i don't see any improvement in that area. i can still see a bit of bumps in my skin. it's understandable since this is a moisturizing serum, not acid or something that would works in your pores or regenerates or speeds up skin cell turnovers like retinol or other BHA/AHA products. however, i do think that missha always use too much ingredients. 10 types of probiotics sound too much, compared to the result. i can get similar result using other serum that has less ingredients. and a lot of fruit and plant extracts too. if you have sensitive skin, this might not be a good thing as you might be sensitive to one of the ingredients and they have so many ingredients. it would be pain to find out which one that irritates your skin. 

i do think that this serum works well for all skin types. for drier skin, you might want to add something more, but for oily to combination skin, it'd best to use this night time only. as for me, i only use this at night since i also use retinol. so i need to put layers of moisturizing serums to protect my skin barrier. so far it works okay, but i've been using milder retinol too, so i can't guarantee if you're using more potent acid than mine. as for the price, missha price has gone more and more expensive. back when i just knew missha, it was still considered affordable. now, missha price is more expensive than the ordinary or huxley. i was lucky i could get this while on sale, but i don't think i'd repurchase. especially if there's no sale. so, if you're looking for moisturizing serum that has no added fragrance, then this might be a good option for you. but if you're tight on budget, i suggest you try something else. this is not super revolutionary that you have to break your wallet to get it.

a full spectrum facial treatment. UFO puts the power of LED light therapy in your hands, with 3 targeted photofacials in one at-home device. enjoy a painless, UV-free phototherapy treatment as red, green and blue LED light wavelengths effortlessly rejuvenate your skin.

the packaging: it comes in a transparent acrylic box so you can see the UFO from the outside. under the separator, you will get USB cable charger, a mask sample, and a dock to put your UFO. there are three colors to choose from, and mine is the pearl pink one to match my foreo luna. at first there's a plastic shield to cover both the front and the plate at the back. you might ask, what is the different with the mini one? the only difference is, the mini one doesn't have cryo-therapy mode. so no cooling option. 

the product: the size of UFO is probably the size of my palm. since the outer part is made of silicone, it's easy to grab and hold the device. however, since it's circle in shape, it's a bit tricky to move it around your nose area, especially if you have crooked nose like me, or super high pointy nose. other than that, it's easy to move it around my face. at the back side, there's a plastic ring to hold the mask securely. lifted the ring so you can put the mask, then secure the ring back. turn on your phone and use the foreo apps to start your treatment. the LED ring is on the outer part of the warming/cooling plate. while in the center, there's the warming or cooling plate that is covered with the mask. the charging hole is on the bottom. don't worry, all foreo devices are waterproof. some people doubt the LED ring since it's only a thin ring, it might not cover a lot of surface. while the opponent device (skin inc), has wider ring so you can see the LED lights clearly and it was pretty concentrated compared to foreo. my only grudge is the usage time is not as long as foreo luna. with luna, you can charge it once for about 5-6 months even though with daily use. but with foreo, it's probably only lasts for about a month with every other day usage. and even faster if you use cooling and warming sensation repeatedly. one session in UFO only lasts about 90 seconds, so i usually use it for 3 rounds to really maximize the result. just like the luna, it will automatically change mode and then give you sign when it's done. 

the apps: the downside (or probably the good side?) of UFO is you have to operate it using an apps. you have to put your phone near the device and then press the power button for a couple seconds before the apps recognizing your device. you have to register it if you're using for the first time. in the default mode, there's only two masks stored there. the make my day (for morning use) and call it a night (for night time use). if you press one of those option, you will only need to scan the mask's barcode (on the back of the mask sachet) before it will automatically start the session. if you're using other mask, you have to scan it first, then it will be saved in the apps. however, as i was changing my phone platform (from ios to android), the apps was not transferable. i had to register again and then though my device were still registered, the other mask that i've used (the youth junkie) was not registered. i had to use it again and save it again.

if you're not using foreo's mask, you have to make sure that the mask is juicy so the foreo can glide easily. then you can press the setting button on the apps and adjust the LED light you want to use, the strength of the vibration, and then the heat or cold setting. here's the perk. the newer UFO 2, is supposed to have more LED option (like skin inc one) with additional orange, cyan and i forget what else. but looking at the website, it seems gone! i've used this long enough, so initially, before i heard that there would be UFO 2, the apps has three LED lights option in the setting mode, then there's a button to drag and adjust the brightness of the LED light that you choose. i can also choose two lights or even three to combine the lights. like green and blue will give you cyan. red and green will give you orange. by the time there was news about UFO 2, the apps suddenly changed. the three options were still there, but i couldn't combine two or more lights. now, after i changed my phone, the apps were back to beginning. i can choose combination lights. but the heat and cold setting will come off after about 1-2 minutes. in the past, it would stay on for as long as i use my device.

so, do you have to use UFO masks? no. you can use it with regular sheet mask. just use your sheet mask as usual then turn UFO on and glide it over your sheet mask for as long as you like. just remember, the longer you use the UFO, the faster the battery would run out. can you use UFO without any masks? yes but if you use thick serum and super slick serum. however, i've tried this once, with heat mode, and it was too hot for my skin. for the cooling mode, it was cold as ice. so probably better use it with mask.

the result: i've tried using three LED modes. the red one is supposed to be anti-aging. obviously the night mask is using the red light, and i don't see any visible result. but, considering that until now i don't see any wrinkle whatsoever, it might help in boosting the effect of other skincare and mask that i've used. that goes with the green light. the green one is supposed to be for brightening. if you have acne scars or dark spots, it's supposed to lighten them. i do think it helps in combination with vitamin c serum or other brightening serum to prevent any dark spots. but so far, i don't see any changes in my dark spots. as for acne scars, with routine usage, it does help fading acne scar (in combination with other skincare products). as for the blue light, it's for acne. this is the only light that i can see the result instantly. whenever i have cystic acne, it would take weeks for me to get rid of it. i was doubtful at first, but i tried using it three days in a row. using blue light and concentrated on my acne. and after three days, the acne would start to shrink in size. and then after a week, it would be flat.

if you're asking me, is it worth the money? yes of course. however, i cannot compare it to other device since i haven't tried anything else. do you need the device? it's really up to you. if you're using sheet mask often, or you like masking but don't like to spend lots of time using regular sheet mask, then you should get this device. i personally like the cooling mode as i think it help reduces puffiness of my face. but if you don't like masking, and only need lifting, then you should try foreo bear or other device that offers microcurrent setting. as for me, using foreo ufo and continuing with jade roller is enough to give lifting effect and also reducing my puffiness. this is totally another good investment that i've made this year. 

this is the description from their website in bahasa: retinol 1% membantu meregenerasi kulit, mengurangi kerutan, menghaluskan dan mengurangi sumbatan komedo. baik untuk dipergunakan sebagai perawatan anti penuaan, hiperpigmentasi dan kulit berjerawat. diperkaya dengan ceramide, formula ini menghaluskan kulit, mengurangi kekeringan kulit, dan menghasilkan kulit yang lembut dan lembap.

translation in english: retinol 1% helps regenerate your skin, reduces wrinkles, smoothes and reduces blackhead. it's recommended for anti aging treatment, hyperpigmentation and acne skin. enriched with ceramide, this formula smoothes skin, reduces skin dryness and gives you smooth and moisturized skin.

the packaging: since i won this in giveaway, i only got the bottle. i don't know if they sell it in a box or anything. anyway, the bottle is similar to the peptide one. a small glass bottle with dropper to dispense the product. the only difference is the label and the bottle color. the peptide label is green and the bottle is transparent while the retinol label is purple and the bottle is dark brown. a bit description at the back of the bottle. there's also the ingredients list printed on the bottle, but it's a bit weird since i can't find it in their website. so i'll write it down here. it comes 10 ml size, but they have bigger size as well now. 

ingredients: aqua, propylene glycol, hydroxyethylcellulose, retinyl palmitate, ceramide, dimethicones, crosspolymer, sodium benzoate, tetrasodium EDTA, phenoxyethanol, sodium metabisulfite, lavendula angustifolia (lavender) oil.

the scent: as stated in the ingredients list, at the end of it there's a lavender oil. it's natural fragrance that the brand used. and i sniff the serum and i can pick a bit of the scent but it's really subtle so i don't think you'd get annoyed by it. but if you are sensitive to essential oil, then you might want to skip it.

the product: it's a cloudy white gel-type serum that's a bit viscous but spreadable. it absorbs well into my skin. since it has added ceramide, i can feel a bit moisture slip after spreading it on my face. it gives tacky feeling when i pat it. it does layer well over and under other skincare product that i use.

the result: i was confused about this serum. they call it retinol serum and even write "retinol 1%" in their description. but in the ingredients list, it only has "retinyl palmitate". this is quite different as retinol is quite potent but retinyl palmitate is mild. if this serum only has retinyl palmitate, then obviously i don't suffer dryness like when i tested drunk elephant retinol because it's mild. but if this contains retinol, then probably the added ceramide might contribute in preventing skin dryness. as for acne, just like DE retinol cream, it doesn't have any effect in preventing acne. i still have several breakouts sometimes, but it helps speeding up the recovery process and i don't suffer acne scars like i used to. and other area when i don't have acne, i can see that it's more smooth just when i use DE retinol. 

i have to say this one is quite mild, so if you're still beginning your journey in retinoid products, this might be a good product to start. it also has several added moisturizing ingredients like ceramide and butylene glycol. it has smaller bottle so it's perfect to try first before committing to bigger bottle. as for the price, the smaller bottle is quite affordable, while the bigger one is quite expensive but still comparable to other serum. as for me, i want to try other local brand retinol serum. i reckon there are still three other local brands that have retinol serum in their products line, and i hope i can try them all. so until then, i won't make any conclusion on which to repurchase. 

this is the description from their website: eye cream with a light texture that works best to moisturize the skin around the eyes so that the eyes look fresher, maintain elasticity, and delay the appearance of wrinkles under the eyes. avoskin intensive nourishing eye cream is an eye cream that can reduce dark circles, eye bags, and keep the area of the eye contour to look healthy and moist. enriched with coffee extract, aloe vera, cucumber extract, yam extract, macadamia nut extract, algae extract, anthemis nobilis flower oil, tea tree oil, grape extract, and kojic acid, this eye cream can reduce the impact of fatigue on the eyes and help realize the eyes beautiful and fresh.

ingredients on the website: aqua, ethylhexyl olivate, PEG-4 olivate, phytosteryl/ octodecyl lauroyl glutamate, tocopherol, aloe barbadensis leaf extract, cucumis sativa (cucumber) extract, collagen, acrylates/acrylamide (i think it got cut since i find another ingredients list that's longer).

this is the ingredients list from sociolla website: the former is the same as previous list, but it has added acrylamide copolymer, phenoxyethanol, mineral oil, pachyrrhizus erosus root extract, PEG-12 dimethicone, coffee arabica seed powder, macadamia ternifolia nut oil, algae extract, triethanolamine, anthemis nobilis flower oil, tea tree oil, kojic acid, hyaluronic acid, vitis vinifera (grapeseed) oil.

the packaging: it comes in a dark navy cardbox with description on it. sometimes it is written in bahasa, but sometimes it's written in english. the ingredients list is also printed on the box. the funny thing is, they seal the top part of the box, but nothing on the bottom, so i can get out the eye cream tub without damaging the seal on top. this is worrisome though. what if someone else find out about this and decided to do bad thing? inside there's a little brown glass-like tub with a bit of description on it as well. it has gold screw cap and separate plastic lid to secure the cream inside. there's nothing special about the packaging. and it only comes in 10 ml, which is less than usual eye cream. there's no spatula provided. i guess it's better to put it in a squeeze tube rather than a tub, but it's just my personal preference. 

the scent: it has weird foul scent. it's a bit strong at first, but as time goes by, the scent gets more subtle, or maybe my nose has accustomed to it? oh well, there's no added fragrance to the eye cream, so it must be the scent from those oils.

the product: at first, i was surprised when i opened the tub. it's been awhile to finish my previous eye product, so it sits in my stash for awhile. it was separated at first! i was surprised to see that. i thought it was expired, but i checked the expiry date and it was still good. so i searched about it, and some people said that since it has several oils in its ingredients list, it might get separated, but it would be okay, you just need to shake it well. and it would be better to put it in the refrigerator. i did that at first. i shook it well, and put it in the refrigerator. and just like people said, it was okay again. but it's troublesome to go to the refrigerator back and forth to use the eye cream, so i just put it in my vanity and then shake it well before using it. the cream is thick, but not too thick. probably like emulsion consistency. i can spread it easily around my eyes area. 

the result: you need to use this sparingly. if i put on too much i can feel cooling sensation which is a bit unpleasant since it's weird for me. i'm afraid that my eyes would get sting. looking at the ingredients, i don't know why it has that minty sensation. as i'm using this with an eye massager tool, i have to use enough amount. if i use too little, then it would get dried before i finish massaging my eyes area. so i really need to use enough amount to give a good slip so i can massage my eyes area well. after using half tub, i do agree that this one keep the area around my eyes moist. this also contains coffee powder, which i think might contribute in reducing eye bag or dark eyes, but on me, i don't see any significant changes. but considering that it doesn't get worse, so i think in the long run it might work, but not that fast. it also contain cucumber which is widely know to help with some puffiness, but i don't experience any puffiness during using this eye cream, so i can't say anything about it. 

i have to say for local eye cream with that price, i think it delivers the most important thing for eyes area, giving it moisture but not too rich. though i would say that the claim is gutsy since it promises to tackle all eye area problems like dark under eye and eye bags. i don't mind with the performance, but i don't like the scent. i just wish they don't use that many oil that might be separated. for me, i won't repurchase this, but if you only need moisture for your eyes area, this might be a good option for you. but if you have more problems like fine lines and dark eyes, you might want to try something else. 

this is the description from their website: an ampoule that skin effortlessly soaks up. made with 80% propolis, this lightweight ampoule hydrates and nourishes the skin without irritation since it's paraben free - perfect for sensitive skin. skin effortlessly soaks up the ampoule and leaves skin more vibrant and radiant. 

propolis is rich in minerals and a natural anti-inflammatory. it helps to both soothe and nourish the skin. citrus oils like bergamot, lemon, and lime help to tighten the pores and brighten skin tone. eucalyptus oil helps to gently exfoliate, removing dead skin cells to leave the skin soft and glowing.

skin concerns: acne, dark spots/ hyperpigmentation, dryness, dullness, oiliness, pores, redness, sensitivity.

eucalyptus: this botanical extract has been found to boost skin ceramide production, water-holding capacity, and skin barrier protection.

honey: this golden liquid produced by bees is anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory.

lemon fruit oil: this acts as a detoxifying agent that nourishes, cleanses, and exfoliates skin while clearing up skin issues such as oiliness and acne.

the packaging: it comes in a white box. there's a big yellow box with the name of the product at front, and some description in korean on the sides and back. inside, there's a big glass bottle with dropper to dispense the product. a bit description written at front but since it's a white text, it's quite hard to read since the bottle is transparent and the color of the serum is almost transparent as well. another description at the back of the bottle but everything is in korean. the bottle is quite big since it comes in 100 ml size, so it might affect the shipping cost. the dropper is quite long and you can control the amount of product you want to use. but i find that i have to pinch the dropper for a second or two if i want to get full dropper amount of product.

the scent: i think this one is scentless, but even if i could pick up some scent, probably it's natural scent of the ingredients and not added fragrance. 

the product: it's a gel-like serum consistency and it has yellowish tinge to it. though on my hand it would look almost transparent, but inside the bottle, there's a yellowish tinge to it. it spreads easily, and it's absorbed easily too. i use half to one pump for my whole face and neck. it takes a while to be absorbed, but just keep patting it. it doesn't leave sticky feeling afterward. i use this in the morning since sometimes i use retinol at night, so i put my brightening/ vitamin c serum in the morning out of habit. plus it's lightweight so it's not too much for my morning routine since my usual morning routine would only consisted of FTE/toner, essence/serum, emulsion and sunscreen. 

the result: i can feel it adds hydration for my skin, but compared to cosrx snail essence that i also use, this one feels more lightweight. i don't notice anything at first, but as i keep using this one, i notice that my skin is radiant in the morning. it brightens my skin tone a bit, especially since i've been inside my house most of the time. i don't notice any difference in my pores but i can see that it works just as well as my previous vitamin c serum. as for the anti inflammatory properties, i think it works okay in combination with cosrx snail essence. 

if your skin like propolis, then you'd like this one. it works well and it comes in a big size. though i still don't like that it comes in a glass bottle, but environmentally speaking, i think glass is better than plastic since here the recycling department is still underdeveloped. i think it would work well for all skin types, so even though you have oily skin, it's still pretty lightweight. for dry skin, of course you have to use other serum or essence since this one is not super moisturizing, so it might not be enough for your skin. but if you want something more powerful, something works faster than this, you might want to ditch this and opt for a potent vitamin c serum instead. this one works okay but slowly, so if you're not patient, then skip this. as for me, i think i'd put this in my maybe repurchase list. i do like it, but i want to try local vitamin c serums first. and i think snail essence and propolis sounds similar to snail bee venom, so i think i'd probably repurchase benton snail bee venom rather than buying separate snail and propolis serum.  

this is the description from their website: ultimate smudge-proof addictive smoothness. easy drawing. ultra smooth application, easy-to-use extra fine brush. smudge proof. strong resistance to water, sweat and sebum. 24-hour wear, quick drying. contains beauty serum, 5 kinds of beauty serums (moisturizing ingredients) included - rosa canina fruit extract, chamomilla recutita (matricaria) flower extract, succinoyl atelocollagen, rosa centifolia flower extract, sodium hyaluronate. quick drying, dries just in a few seconds after application. no mess. washable by face wash, no colorants will remain on your skin. 

the packaging: it comes in a weird packaging. it has hard plastic to secure the product with a cardboard insert with description at the back in japanese. you can read the shade name at front. the eyeliner is hold in the middle. but at the back there's this weird bulge which i don't know what it is for. another weird thing about japanese product is they put the price at the back of the packaging as well so you know how much it is. here in indonesia, they only put the price on medication as it is a rule for not playing the medication's price. but not on beauty products. i bought this last year, so the packaging is different now, but it is still similar.

the shade: there are three shades for the liquid eyeliners, black, brown black and natural brown. i pick the brown black one. the natural brown one seems a bit like reddish brown while the brown black is just ordinary brown eyeliner.

the product: it comes in a brown slim pen, with tiny sticker label at the bottom. the body is color-coordinated with the shade. the tip is slim just like dejavu one. it glides on smoothly on my eyes without any problem. it is a brush tip just like dejavu and dolly wink, but it's easy to use even though you're a beginner. somehow their brush tip is not as flimsy as old liquid eyeliner brush tip. it's as easy as felt tip one, probably because it comes in a pen shape. 

the result: i can't say about their longevity since i only use this for about 3 hours. i haven't tried using it longer than that because of the pandemic. but when it's fully dried, it stays put even though i try to rub it with my finger. i also run it under running water and rub it again when it's wet. it's still there. but when i use a bit of soap and rub it really hard, it easily washes off. so i guess all the claims are true.

definitely putting this in my rotation list along with dolly wink and dejavu. price wise, this one is a bit pricier compared to dolly wink, but still affordable in my opinion. i only use this for a month or so, but i think it will last long time just like dolly wink and dejavu, so it's worth the price. if you're looking for a good long lasting eyeliner but easy to wash off, you might want to consider this one. again, d.up is a more widely known brand like heroine and dolly wink, so it might be easier to find online. but for me, i don't see any online shops selling this one, so i might resort to local brands one before i can get his again from japan.
