this is the description from their website: plant derived and with antioxidant properties, this natural retinol alternative helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and even skin tone. formulated with the omega-3 packed sacha inchi oil and squalane, bakuchiol moisturizer also works to hydrate and nourish your skin. bakuchiol moisturizer does not cause any sun sensitivity, so can be used in both the AM and PM, and is safe to use during pregnancy.

key ingredients:

- 1% bakuchiol helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. 

- 3% squalane helps to hydrate and protect the skin.

- 1,5% sacha inchi oil rich in omega-3 to nourish the skin

ingredients list: aqua, squalane, glycerin, propanediol, plukenetia volubilis seed oil (sacha inci oil), dicaprylyl carbonate, bakuchiol, phenoxdyethanol, sodium caproyl prolinate, hydroxyethyl acrylate/ sodium acryloyldimethyl taurat copolymer, carbomer, sodium hydroxide, ethylhexylglycerin, sodium stearoyl glutamate, polysorbate 60, phytic acid, glyceryl polyacrylate, sorbitan isostearate, tocopherol.

the packaging: just like the ordinary, the inkey list also opted for clean and minimalist look. for the inkey list, the color dominant for their products are black and white. like their intent to be transparent about their ingredients. there's description at the back of the box in english as well as the ingredients list. the moisturizer also comes in similar design. it comes in white/black plastic squeeze tube with black plastic screw cap. there's also description at the back of the bottle as well. it comes in 30 ml which is the normal size of a moisturizer. they seal the opening with aluminum foil at first to secure the product.

the scent: it has that weird foul scent that all bakuchiol products seem to have. it's not that overwhelming but still not pleasant to smell. 

the product: it's brownish moisturizer that has lotion-like texture. it's quite runny so i don't think putting it in a squeeze bottle is a wise option. if i hold it upside down just how it is, it will come out on its own. so i have to tilt it upside down so it won't come out on itself. since it's quite runny, it's easy to spread it around. 

the result: in terms of moisturizer, it's considered lightweight, though i won't say that it's enough for night time even though they say that it can be used day and night. however, i also feel that this one makes my skin tends to be oilier than it's used to be. i can't say whether it's moisturizing or not since i don't like the oily feeling that it gives me even though i use just a little. 

i can't be happier when i finally manage to use this one up. i brought this with me to japan and it doesn't help much when the weather was colder. even though it makes my skin feel oilier. back here in my country, it's hot and humid so it feels uncomfortable as well. luckily, this doesn't cost much, but it's way cheaper in the US so i can't say that it's affordable since the price might doubled when you preordered them. as for me, definitely won't repurchase and i can't even think who i should recommend this to. 

this is the description from their website: lightweight, cleansing foam gently removes makeup, dirt, excess oil and other impurities while soothing skin for a clean and calm complexion. skin is left with a healthy, matte finish. 

benefits:

- gentle: effectively removes all traces of makeup on face, eyes and lips.

- mattifies: helps absorb excess oil and leaves skin with shine-free finish.

- refreshes: soft, lightweight foam ideal for normal to combination, sensitive skin.

key ingredients:

- glutamic acid: mattifies and controls excess oil

- gentle cleansing base: thoroughly removes makeup, dirt and oil on face and eyes

- zinc: soothes irritation and calms skin

- avene thermal spring water: clinically shown by 150 studies to soothe, soften and calm the skin

ingredients: avene thermal spring water, sodium cocoamphoacetate, disodium cocoyl glutamate, sodium chloride, citric acid, disodium EDTA, fragrance, glutamic acid, lactic acid, propylene glycol, sodium benzoate

the packaging: since i bought this as a travel set, it comes in a transparent plastic bag with zipper to secure all the products inside. the foam itself comes in white can bottle with pump head, covered with another white plastic cap. it only comes in 50 ml which is quite decent for a sample size. there's description at the back of the bottle in english and french as well as the ingredients list. 

the scent: even though they claimed that this has fragrance, i don't smell anything from it. maybe they add the fragrance to cover the foul scent that the ingredients might have. 

the product: as described, it's a lightweight foam that's easy to disperse. since it's a foam, it's easy to spread it around, may it be with my bare hands or with my foreo. however, since this is very lightweight and airy, it's easy to vanish if i wet my hands too much. that's why i tend to use more than i used to to compensate. more so with my foreo or it will feel like dragging dry foreo over my skin.

the result: since it's very lightweight, i can't say for sure about the effectiveness. sometimes i feel that my face is still a little bit oily, that's why i wash my face twice sometimes. but it's really gentle so i think it'll be good for sensitive skin. as for claim that it will mattify skin, i can't say for sure since when i first used this the first time, my skin was pretty oily because i couldn't wash my face for almost 12 hours, but then it was still oily the next day after washing my face twice. 

that being said, as a travel set, this face wash is okay and do what it needs to do. but for daily? i don't think i'd like it. i'm glad i got the chance to try avene since it's been awhile and i know there are some people that's die hard fans of this brand, but it didn't appeal me so i'm glad that i finally get the chance to try this brand. i think this face wash is suitable for all skin type including sensitive skin as well. price wise, i can't say for sure about the full size one, but the travel size is quite okay. as for me, i will not repurchase. 

i knew i was going to japan and my only travel set that i have clearly is not enough for my 12 days trip, so i decided to buy something else. i bought blp set but apparently, it's only 3 pieces set. so i bought this one since i'm curious of their moisturizer and sunscreen. i bought the full size separately of couse, but until then, i will try the set first. anyway, i bought the face wash on my trip and i didn't pay attention to the size so i was worried that i might finish it before i went back home. anyway, it lasted until my last day trip, so this is my conclusion on this cleanser.

this is the description from their website: gently cleanse the skin from impurities, reveal clean and fresh skin without the use of harsh detergents. this cleanser has a low pH level which is similar to natural skin, so it won't damage your skin barrier. a blend of 5 types of ceramides and amino acids, the moisture-lock properties keep skin feeling soft and not stripped dry. maintain pores clean and minimize breakouts. dermatologically tested: suitable for all skin types. feels the gentleness, and say hi to healthier skin.

- formulated using 5x ceramides technology, it mimics the structure of the skin barrier, deeply moisturizes and strengthens the skin by combining the 5 types of ceramides: ceramide NP, ceramide NS, ceramide AS, ceramide EOP, ceramide AP.

- amino acid is an extra mild cleansing agent. it soothes the skin, helps to moisturize, and acts as an anti-oxidants. this ingredient helps to maintain the skin's smoothness and hydration. hence, it effectively cleanses the skin without causing any dryness.  it is safe to be used daily. 

- niacinamide (vitamin B3) is a smart, multi-purpose, non-irritating ingredient. due to its anti-inflammatory and oil-control properties, it is able to treat inflammation caused by acne and controls oil production to prevent future breakout.

the packaging: since i bought this in a set, it comes in light blue box with a big transparent plastic window at front so you can see everything from the outside. there's a complete ingredients list of everything inside at the back of the box. the face wash itself comes in light blue (similar color as the box) squeeze tube with white plastic screw cap. another ingredients list is listed at the back of the tube. the opening of the tube is big enough for the product to come out of the tube. however, i forgot to check the size of this cleanser. it's just 15 ml and somehow, it almost ran out of it when i was in japan. you'd find the reason why this might not be enough for my 12 days trip.

the scent: this one is scentless and doesn't smell weird either. 

the product: the face wash is a thick, cream-like one. i thought that since it's thick, then i won't need much every time i use it, however.. that's not the case. this face gives little to no bubbles, may it be with my hand or with my foreo. especially with my foreo. it feels like it's better to bubbles it up with my hands first and then massage it with my foreo. but since i'm lazy.. i apply it straight on my fore. it does take a little bit for it to bubble up with my foreo and it feels dragged a little bit when i first apply it. anyway, with hand it needs more than with foreo, obviously. but still, i need more compare to my drunk elephant one. that was why, i almost ran out of it when i was in japan.

the result: even though i need more of this, this one is really a mild and gentle face wash. non drying as well. it does its work well as the second cleanser. 

that being said, i won't purchase the full size because this face was doesn't provide me any skintainment. it is scentless and not that enjoyable to use. even though it's gentle and non drying, there are other face washes in the market that could do the same, so yeah.. no thank you. anyway, i think this face wash is suitable for all skin types, gentle and non drying, scentless as well so it'd be suitable for sensitive skin as well. their price is quite affordable as well. as for me, skintific has several other face washes, so i might try other variations first before deciding which one is better in my opinion.

this is the translated description from their official marketplace channel: a toner that can be used daily to calm skin down when the skin barrier is damaged, helps skin barrier recovery process and keeps the skin healthy. with 5 types of ceramide that is good to maintain skin barrier, and added probiotic complex that can help increase skin microbiome to reduce skin problems, as well as calendula as anti-inflammation and antibacterial that can help protect natural skin collaged so the skin is supple and healthy.

hero ingredients:

- 5x ceramide: 5 types of ceramide to repair and soothe skin barrier.

- probiotic complex: increase skin microbiome that can help reduce skin problems

- calendula: nourish the skin, acts as anti-inflammation and antibacterial that protects skin natural collagen so skin looks supple and healthy.

the packaging: since i bought this in a set, it comes in a light blue box with big transparent plastic window at front so you can see everything inside from the outside. there's ingredients of everything inside at the back of the box. the toner also comes in light blue plastic bottle with light blue plastic screw cap. there's another ingredients list printed at the back of the bottle as well. the mini size is basically the miniature of the full size one. the opening of the toner is the usual size, however, the toner doesn't come out easily and i have to shake it so the toner will come out. the sample size comes in 20 ml while the full size one is 80 ml.

the scent: i don't think this one is scented, but at least it doesn't smell bad. 

the product: it's a watery type toner so it looks like water and liquid like water. since it's liquid like water, it's absorbed into my skin quickly. it doesn't leave tacky feeling afterward. i have to say that i'm surprised to learn that i need to use more than somethinc toner to get the level of hydration that i want, so obviously, i finish it pretty quickly. i use it up in 6 days so yeah.. that was quick.

the result: aside from hydrating and a bit moisturizing, i don't feel anything else. mainly because it's finished too quickly. as for the soothing properties, i can't say for sure since i also use soothing serum sometimes, but during using this toner, my acne is not flaring mad, so it must've been working somehow. 

i have to say that i'm not that impressed with the toner. considering how the moisturizer gets the hype, i thought the toner would be at least impressive. but turns out that it's just mediocre. i'm not saying that it's bad, it's just not impressive. i think i like somethinc toner better than this one. however, this toner is suitable for all skin types, even sensitive one. however, i don't think dry skin will like this as this is quite lightweight. as for me, definitely i won't repurchase it nor buy the full size one. 

This is the description from their website: our best-selling anti-pollution treatment essence powered by antioxidant-rich kombucha for visibly smoother, luminous skin. this liquid treatment provides protection from indoor and outdoor pollution, plus digital light, while increasing smoothness, luminosity and suppleness. it also minimizes the look of pores and fine lines, hydrates and preps for next steps. the star is kombucha, fermented black tea rich in antioxidants. 

key ingredients:

- hyaluronic acid: attracts and maintains moisture to enhance suppleness.

- kombucha: fermented black tea rich in antioxidants, helps to smooth skin, increase luminosity, and defend against pollution - which can lead to the look of premature lines and dull skin. 

- kigelia africana fruit extract: helps smooth the appearance of skin texture.

- mandarin peel extract: helps promote an even complexion.

the packaging: it comes in patterned-black box with description at the back in english and french as well as ingredients list printed on it. The FTE itself comes in frosted transparent plastic bottle that looks yellowish because of the essence with black screw cap. The opening of the bottle is big enough but not too big that the essence comes out flowing too much. At first, they seal the opening with aluminum foil to secure the product inside. The mini size comes in 50 ml while the full size one is 150ml. 

the scent: i don’t know how kombucha should smell like, but all i know is, once i open the bottle, it smells like tea. Like fragrant tea and i love it. I gush about it every time i use it to my husband that it might bored him already. i might be saying it as if the scent is very fragrant like the rose toner, but it's not. once you pat it on your skin, the smell lingers just a little bit more and then nothing. it's not that overwhelming but addicting. i'm looking forward to use this essence because of the scent.

the product: the essence is a bit yellowish, and liquid in texture. just like water if not slightly more viscous. it spreads around easily and it's absorbed quickly as well. it doesn't leave any tacky feeling afterward either.

the result: once it's absorbed, i can definitely feel the added hydration that it gives. and a bit moisturizing as well. if i can visualize how it feels, it feels like feeling in between of my skin cells and plump it up. i used this when i was in japan and back at home. in japan, it's noticeably cooler than back home, but this FTE helps with hydration no matter the weather is. 

i have to say i'm happy with my purchase. this is definitely something to splurge on and you won't feel disappointed. i think it will be suitable for all skin type so if you want to splurge and want to try something from fresh, i suggest you try this FTE. as for me, i'd definitely like to buy the full size but it's way too expensive so i'll be happy to repurchase the mini for now. 

the box

this is translated from their website: vitamin c energy concentrate. face serum rich in vitamin c and antioxidant to treat your skin and fight free radicals. with tranexamic acid, vitamin c and ferulic acid work in synergic to fade dark spots or hyperpigmentation. formulated with oxymoist technology so skin is always fresh, moist and supple. with 3% vitamin c helps to prevent early aging signs and smoothes wrinkles.

ingredients list: aqua, glycerin, centella asiatica extract, terminalia ferdinandiana fruit extract, tranexamic acid, tocopheryl acetate, allantoin, resveratrol, ferulic acid, chlorphenesin, xanthan gum, phenoxyethanol, ascorbic acid, citric acid, rumex occidentalis extract, sodium ascorbyl phosphate, propanediol.

description on the box

the packaging: like i've said, this is collaboration with marvel (i don't think it's a special edition since all of their serums come in marvel packaging) so the boxes are decorated with pictures that's related to marvel. for the c glow serum, they put thor hammer at front. every serum comes in different color, for c glow, it's yellow. there's description on the box but not the ingredients list. as for the serum, it comes in yellow glass bottle that's see through so you can see the remaining product inside. they use dropper to dispense the product. this only comes in 20 ml which seems to be the norm for local serums. my only surprise with the packaging is, they dare to use transparent bottle for a vitamin c serum! all of vitamin c serums that i've used always come in dark tinted glass bottle because vitamin c can be oxidized by sunlight. so, i'm curious about the choice of packaging.

the bottle

the scent: there's no added fragrance in this serum and it is completely neutral as well. 

the serum inside the dropper

the product: the serum is a cloudy white in the dropper but looks like transparent on my hand. it's like a runny gel type serum, almost watery. since it's very runny, it's easy to spread it around and it takes a minute or two to be absorbed. i use a dropper for my whole face and neck. looking at the ingredients, the vitamin c derivate used in this serum is the sodium ascorbyl phosphate (even though they listed ascorbic acid as well, i don't think they use it since ascorbic acid is easily oxidized), which is good for acne prone skin while still beneficial for antioxidant and collagen boosting. SAP is quite stable, but still, i don't think using transparent bottle is wise. i don't put the serum in the refrigerator and so far, there's no change in the color of the serum. i became more interested in this serum because they add cica, resveratrol, tranexamic acid and ferulic acid into the mix. 

after spreading it around

the result: within a week after using this serum, i noticed that it helps even out my skin tone and brighten the whole complexion. not making my skin looks fairer, but brighter in general. no dull skin. it feels moisturizing as well. it would take more time to fade the acne scars though but it's possible with this serum.

i have to say that i'm quite impressed with this serum. i didn't expect that it will work well with that price point. however, i'm still wary about their choice of packaging. this is the first local brand vitamin c serum that doesn't come in dark-tinted bottle and don't need to be stored in a refrigerator. i also put it on my vanity without any extra care and until i finish it, it doesn't change at all. which is quite surprising, so i'm wondering how can they achieve it? anyway, i think this serum is suitable for all skin types and is very affordable as well. if you're looking for a vitamin c serum that's affordable and works well, then try this one. 

this is the description translated from their website: cloud-like texture, no clogged pores, rice extract and city stem. with texture as airy as cloud, safe for sensitive skin, nourish and protect from pollution, indoor and outdoor, collaborated with experts from south korea, fresh until 8 hours. halal sunscreen with SPF 45 PA++++, developed specifically for tropical skin need. with cloud-like texture formula that's lightweight, transparent and non clogging for pores, solar smart UV protector gives the most comfortable protection from tropical sun all day long, for indoor and outdoor activity. 

size 8 ml, 30 ml, 70 ml.

the packaging: there are three sizes of this sunscreen, so there are two packaging. for the 30 ml and the 80 ml, both comes in tube packaging, like other sunscreen in the market. but for the travel size, they opted for a different packaging. it comes in a plastic squeeze pouch, like baby's food pouch, only smaller. the color and design is the same as the full size one. there's description at the back of the pouch. the travel size is only 8 ml. 

the scent: it's unscented. and doesn't smell weird or foul at all. 

the product: just like marketed, it comes in snow white airy cream that feels lightweight. like dense bubble. or cloud. even though it's thick, but it's lightweight and spreadable easily. it sinks in pretty quickly

the result: it leaves matte finish and doesn't feel sticky at all. however, i've read somewhere that it might get oily if you use too much, especially for oily skin. as for me, somehow with my age and regular use of retinol, my skin gets drier a little bit. so, this sunscreen doesn't make me oily, but i don't use too much anyway. this definitely doesn't leave any white cast at all. 

if you don't mind the texture, then this is a good option for you. i think it'll be suitable for all skin types. it leaves matte finish and doesn't give any white cast, which is perfect for darker skin tone. plus, it gives several size options as well, so you can pick whatever suit your need. i don't know where i can buy this since i found this at sociolla. as for price wise, it's affordable. as for me, now it's my time to try all local sunscreen available in the market right now, so i'd probably won't repurchase this any time soon. 

this is the description from their website: intense fortifying hair mask for weakened hair that is prone to falling due to breakage from brushing. for weekly use. provides intense nourishment and hydration. smooths and detangles. fortifies against breakage. 

key ingredients: ginger, edelweiss native cells, arginine (helps stimulate healthy hair growth by supporting strong blood flow to the roots of hair cells).

the packaging: since this comes in a set, it comes in a pink box with description of everything inside at the back of the box. there's a big plastic transparent window at front so you can see everything from the outside. all the products are placed on a plastic tray so everything is secure. for the mask, it comes in a pink plastic short tub with screw cap. it's only 75 ml so it's very tiny, but it lasts long since i only use it once a week. anyway, there's another description at the bottom of the mask. 

the scent: just like other products from this set, it's scented and let me tell you, the scent is heavenly. it's fragrant but not too overwhelming and it stays until next washing. even though i workout regularly, thus sweating easily, somehow the scent still linger on my hair. 

the product: the mask is white creamy mask, almost like butter? anyway, it's quite thick so it's easy to scoop out of the tub and slather it on my hair. i only use this a bit, from mid length of my hair to my ends. and then i massage it. i never try it with the clinic mode of my glampalm mainly because i don't have time for it. school has been crazy so my day is busy taking the kids to and from the school and then basket lessons, so yeah.. don't have free time anymore.

the result: obviously this is more moisturizing for my hair. i can feel my hair is soft and smooth after drying it out. but.. it's still give frizzy hair. unless i straighten my hair, it'll still look a bit frizzy. as for the hair loss prevention, i think it helps a bit as long as it's being used in combination with other products from this line, especially the shampoo and the hair serum. 

i have to say i like them all, but if i have to be picky, i would suggest to get the shampoo and the hair mask, along with the serum, of course. anyway, i like their scent so much that i will miss it once i've finished with this set. anyway, it's quite pricey, so i suggest you buy them while on sale. does it help with hair loss? a little bit because i still experience hair loss, but not as much as before. plus, i've just dyed my hair again, so obviously it helps since it's not as bad as after i got back from europe. anyway, i hope they release set like this in indonesia as well. 

this is the description from their website: anti-breakage fortifying conditioner for weakened hair that works to restore and reinforce the fibre for maximised retention. hydrate strands to avoid frizz and boost moisture, softness and shine for the ultimate result. silicone-free, sulfate-free. featuring anti-breakage action and fibre fortification. fortify weakened hair with the creamy, nourishing formula of the genesis fondant renforcateur strengthening conditioner. prevent damage with a potent shield of anti-breakage protection and fibre fortification for strands that stay lusciously intact. boost strength, body and shine with a formulated conditioner for weak hair, enriched with edelweiss native cells and ginger root for their powerful antioxidant properties.

the packaging: because i bought this as a set, it comes in a pink box with a big transparent plastic window at front so you can see everything from outside. there's a description of everything inside at the back of the box in english. the products are placed in a transparent plastic tray so everything is secured. the conditioner itself comes in a pink plastic squeeze tube with screw cap. another description at the back of the tube as well. the opening of the tube is big enough so i can squeeze the conditioner easily. 

the scent: the conditioner has similar scent as the shampoo, so it's addicting as well. i really love how my hair smells after using everything from this set.  and the scent is long lasting as well.

the product: it's a thick white cream like conditioner. it's been so long since i used a conditioner, so i can't compare it with anything else. it's quite thick but easily spread all over my hair. it washes off well as well. 

the result: uhm.. i do feel that it helps making my hair a bit softer, but not much. compared to the mask, this barely makes a big difference, but it still helps taming my frizzy hair a bit. i can notice the difference whenever i don't use it. 

i have to say this conditioner is making my hair a bit smoother and softer, slightly more manageable. it might not help with the hair loss, but it makes my hair doesn't dry out after shampooing. after using it regularly, my hair is more manageable and less frizzy. i don't know how much it costs in full size, so i don't think i will repurchase this.
