like i've said in my other posts, i've been looking for underrated local brand to try. there are a lot of interesting new local brands that i wanted to try, but i only have one face, so i have to pick which one that's might be suitable for my skin. call me weird, but i rarely buy one item from one brand. i would at least buy two each time i want to try a new brand. anyway, i found kitschy's design unusual but cute and luckily, i found at least two items that caught my eyes, so i decided to try kitschy first. the first item that i try first is the moisturizer, so let's see how it goes.
this is the description from their website: a light and never-sticky moisturizer that locks in moisture just like the clouds above. our fast absorbing and fuss-free formula gives your skin long-lasting hydration without tacky finish. what makes it special:
- snail secretion filtrate helps to repair skin damage and restore skin firmness, which can also enhance the appearance of acne-prone skin.
- packed with squalane, ceramide, and vitamin e to protect skin barrier from environmental damages
- fresh and airy - formulated for normal to oily skin.

the packaging: it comes in a white/green box. i think they make the box from recycled materials. and the design is quite unique, a retro theme. there's descriptions as well as the main ingredients printed on the side and back. the moisturizer itself comes in a mint see-through glass bottle with pump head that's covered by a white plastic cap. it comes in 30 ml which is the usual size of a moisturizer. there's no description on the bottle aside from the brand name and product name.

the scent: i don't think this has added fragrance, but thankfully it doesn't smell weird either. however, i notice a subtle hint of freshness which is slightly minty?

the product: it's a white thick gel type moisturizer. even though it's quite thick, it's easy to spread it around. but it won't melt into watery traces like other gel type moisturizer does. this is one is thicker compared to other gel moisturizers that i've tried, but not like dear me beauty that's still like a gel? this one feels like true to skin but slightly thicker? anyway, i don't think this one has cooling sensation, but a couple of times of using this, i feel slightly cooling sensation. but not alway, so i wonder, what might cause the cooling sensation? fyi, in the morning i combine this with vitamin c serum while in the afternoon, i use a brightening serum, so i don't know what kind of combination that might cause the cooling sensation because sometimes i notice it in the morning. then the other day, it's in the afternoon.

the result: this gives hydrating glow. this one is more moisturizing rather than hydrating, thus slightly heavier than what i used to use. but again, my skin is changing. it get dryer so this one gives enough moisture that my skin need. however, if i use another moisturizing sunscreen, this might turns slightly greasy.

i have to say that this one is so-so. though it performs well, somehow my preference is still a more lightweight moisturizers. so the problem is me. anyway, if you have normal skin, then you might like this. oily skin, perhaps use a pea size or use lightweight sunscreen on top of this. dry skin might not feel this moisturizing enough for their skin. price wise, it's still affordable but personally, i like the one that comes in tubes. it's easier to use that way. and the glass bottle is heavy. not travel friendly. anyway, i like to try other moisturizer since skintific has just recently launched a new moisturizer. perhaps i'd try that one.
