  • About me
i didn't realize i was almost out of cleanser. the one i was using was the last one in my stash. so i decided to just buy anything that caught my eyes, and it was labore. i've heard about the brand before, but since they're targeting people with sensitive skin, which i'm not, i was not interested in their products before. but since i'm running out of stuff to try, and it seems like a good product, i decided to give it a go.

this is the description from their website: labore mild cleanser is a gel-texture facial wash with non-soap, non-foam, non SLS/SLES formula and pH 5,5 which are the safest formula to cleanse sensitive skin effectively while leaving non-dry and non-stripping after feel on skin. extremely recover and strengthens skin barrier while provides deep moisturizing for healthier skin, even in skin's driest areas. revive complex enriched with soothing agent and anti-inflammatory.

star ingredients:
- bifida ferment lysate: bifida ferment lysate is a form of paraprobiotic microbiome which are the inactivated form of prebiotic, when paraprobiotic contact with the skin it will actively work for rebalancing skin microbiome and strengthening skin barrier.
- saccharide isometate: this active has a unique composition to the complex carbohydrates (NMF) found in human skin. this ingredient provides a high, continuous, and long-lasting moisturizing performance that beneficial for overall skin health.
- sodium hyaluronate: a salt form of hyaluronic acid (HA) witht he main function of maintaining hydration levels and the structure of the skin.
the box
the packaging: it comes in a white/red box with descriptions written at the back and sides of the box in indonesian as well as the full ingredients list. the cleanser comes in plastic bottle with similar color combination, white and red (-ish). again, there's a short description at the back. the pump is similar to the serum's pump, which you can turn to lock it and turn it back to unlock it. however, there's not on/off text, so you just have to remember whether you have locked it or not. this comes in 100 ml which is pretty standard size for a cleanser.
the bottle
the scent: there's no added scent since this cleanser, or probably the whole brand, is targeted toward sensitive skin. luckily, this one doesn't have weird or foul scent either.
the back of the bottle
the product: the cleanser is a cloudy white gel type cleanser and it's quite viscous. i don't know how much i should be using, so i use two pumps at first. i use it on my foreo. however, as i use it, the cleanser seems to vanish into thin air and then the silicone brushes feel like touching my bare skin. it feels dragged around and it's uncomfortable. i try to find the instructions, thinking that i must do something wrong, but nothing. i need to wet my face and then use the cleanser as usual. i try to add the amount to three pumps but still it doesn't change much. however, it feels better when i use my bare hands, so i avoid using foreo with this cleanser. anyway, this one is really, really a non foaming cleanser. it doesn't foam up, not even a bit. 
the pump head
the result: this leaves a layer of moisture behind. like there's still something on top of my skin even after i wash it off. however, this is common for a non-stripping cleanser. afterward, my skin doesn't feel tight nor dry because of it, so it really delivers its promise. and so far, my skin is okay, in terms of the cleansing power is okay. anyway, i even try to use a BHA toner afterward to see whether there's any residue afterward, but the cotton pad is clean, so i guess it really cleans well.
how it looks like on my hand
this cleanser really ticks off its promise. it's non foaming, non stripping cleanser that's non drying as well. it's really suitable for sensitive skin. if you have sensitive skin or you like a non drying cleanser and have no problem with a non foaming cleanser, then you should try this. price wise, it's still affordable, considering it comes in 100 ml, and it's easy to get as well as it's a local brand. however, as for me, since i do like foam cleanser, it will be a pain for me to finish this one. and yes, i won't repurchase this one. 
as usual, i had this irk to try local brand's products that's not heard much. even though azarine is well known for its marvel serums and their newer collaboration with korean idols/actor, there are some of their products that is unheard of. one of them is this ampoule. i was looking for a moisturizing serum, but i've tried most of their marvel serums, so i decided to try this one a go. 

this is the translated description from their official marketplace page: multi action ampoule. skin renew - skin defence - skin repair. multi action ampoule rich in active ingredients to renew, protect, and repair skin thoroughly. with nutriblast microessence that intensively repairs skin from epidermis to the deepest layer to make face look youthful and glowing. formulated with sprout complex as a skin stem cell alternative to regenerate new skin cell growth that's healthy and free from wrinkles or fine lines. multivitamin complex helps to make skin bright, free from spots, soft and supple.

- takes care of skin bumps
- strengthen and repair skin barrier
- brighten skin so it looks glowing
- soften skin
- anti aging and firming
- treat sensitive skin 
key ingredients:
- vitamin complex (A, B, C, D3, E) : treat skin thoroughly
- resveratrol ; high antioxidant, brighteng and anti aging
- ceramide 3 : moisten and repair skin barrier
- sprout complex : stem cell alternative to regenerate skin
- hyaluronic acid : moisten and anti aging
the box
the packaging: it comes in a teal/white box. they seal the box with plastic sealing at first, which is a bit excessive if you ask me. there's description at the back in indonesian as well as the ingredients list. inside, you can find the serum which comes in a capsule-like-shaped bottle. the bottle is actually transparent but it has this bullet shape teal plastic cap that makes it look like a big capsule. anyway, i have complained this in my IG, and i will repeat it again here. the cap is sooooo hard to pull off, and when i finally managed to pull it off, there's another transparent plastic cap inside! luckily, this one is easier to pull off. the transparent cap covers the white plastic pump head. i also have the problem with the pump. since it's small and short, i can't control the amount that i want to use. it always squirts the product in such a high force that it spills, on every first pump. the serum comes in 45 ml, which is slightly more than the usual serum. anyway, i brought this with me to NZ only in its transparent cap and it was safe. so i think azarine should really improve the packaging, may it be the excessive cap or the forceful cap.
the bottle (you can see that the cap is loose? that's because i can't push it back on)
the scent: i don't think this one is scented. but even if it is, it's subtle and not overwhelming. 
the transparent cap
the product: it looks bluish in the bottle, but on my hand, it looks almost transparent? it's a gel type serum but it's runny, so it's easy to spread around. i usually use two to three pumps for my whole face and neck. 
pump head
the result: looking at the key ingredients, it's packed with a lot of moisturizing agents. and it's really moisturizing. it can counter the dryness effect caused by retinol and other acids. this one is moisturizing without being too heavy or rich on my skin. i can layer it with other serums as well as put a night cream on top of this serum without any problem.
how it looks like on my hand
after spreading it around
i have to say that this ampoule works better than my expectation, but i have low expectation.. i think this is suitable for all skin types. even though i use this only at night, i think you can use it day and night, especially for dry skin. i do hope azarine change the packaging first, like maybe using a dropper? i do like this one, but unless they change the packaging, i won't repurchase it again. price wise, it's affordable. availability wise, it's easy to find it since it's a local brand products, but i never see it in offline store, so maybe i think you can only get it online.
azarine launched several type of sunscreens just around the same time as the other brands, that's why i didn't buy them when they were freshly out in the market. i had just bought several japanese sunscreen and i thought it would a while before finishing them, however, i was wrong. since the weather became so hot and i had to pick up the kids when the sun was right above my head, i had to reapply my sunscreen thus ended up finishing my sunscreens faster. anyway, there are four types of sunscreen but one is for sensitive skin and only has SPF 35. one is a tone up, so i didn't buy that one. i buy the hydrosoothe (both the gel type and the mist type) and the hydramax one. this time, i tried the hydramax one first since i thought it would be okay for my trip since the place i would be going is colder and drier than my home.

this is the translated description from their website: extra moist, extra glow. azarine hydramax c sunscreen serum which comes in gel type can be used as a moisturizer and to protect skin from sunlight's damaging effect. formulated with various size of hyaluronic acid to moist skin's layers. end result, face looks glowing and supple. cooling and lightweight gel texture so it's easy to absorb without leaving whitecast on the skin. suitable for dry, normal, and combination skin.
benefits:
- high protection SPF 50 PA++++ with no whitecast
- with blue light protection
- 0% alcohol, fragrance, mineral oil
- dewy glow finish
- lightweight, easy to absorb and not sticky

key ingredients:
- ascorbic acid : rich in antioxidant, promote collagen synthesis and radiant glow skin
- ectoin: 100% naturally-derived super molecule for anti-blue light and anti-pollution protection
- resveratrol: derived from grapes, excellent ingredient for brightening and anti-aging
- royal jelly: protein rich excretion from bee, increase collagen production and promote wound healing.
the tube
the packaging: it doesn't come in any box, but if you buy the bundle of two, it will come in a box. anyway, i don't remember whether they seal the tube with plastic sealing or not, but it's safe and secure. the tube is orange with a bit of green-blue with white flip top. there's description at the back of the tube in indonesian as well as the ingredients list. they seal the opening first with aluminum foil. the sunscreen comes in 40 ml which is not much for a sunscreen, but again, it depends on the texture. packaging wise, it's a bit weird since the packaging is common for facial wash, but it works for this sunscreen, so i have no problem with it.
description at the back as well as the ingredients list
the scent: this one doesn't have the distinctive scent that most sunscreen has, which is nice. 
the flip top and the size of the opening
the product: this is a white gel type sunscreen, just as promised. but this one is on the thicker side. even though this one is thick, it's still easy to spread it around. however, it'll take a couple minutes for it to be absorbed, so if you wear makeup in the morning, you might want to start your skincare steps earlier in order for the sunscreen to be completely absorbed before putting on makeup.
how it looks like
the result: this one is moisturizing. more moisturizing than the others. that's why in the morning, since my moisturizer is also more moisturizing, i opt to skip my moisturizer and just use this sunscreen since it's already moisturizing. when i used this in korea, the weather was cold and dry, so i put it on top of my moisturizer and it was enough to prevent dry skin while still protection against the sunlight.
the glowy finish
i think this one is a solid sunscreen. even though it's really cheap, it works well. it's really moisturizing while still protecting the skin from the sun. however, i don't think everyone will like this, especially if you have combination or oily skin. even though it's lightweight, it will still be a bit much for oily skin. however, you can use my trick and skip the moisturizer if you want to try it. anyway, i quite like this one, but perhaps only when i'm traveling to colder and drier area. price wise, this is very affordable so it won't break your wallet if you want to try it. availability wise, this is a local brand product, it's easier to find this one here. 
azarine had launched three new moisturizers, but i only interested in two. luckily, they sell a bundle of two. however, i made a mistake and accidentally placed two orders instead of one, so i have two each in my stash. i was worried about not being able to finish them, but after trying the first one and realized i could finish them faster than i thought i would, i became confident in finishing them in no time. anyway, i have tried the green one which is targeted for oily skin and more lightweight between the two that i picked (i picked the green and blue one), so now, i will try the blue one. it's supposed to be another similar product to somethinc ceramide or skintific ceramide moisturizer, so let's see this one compares to the other two.

this is the translated description from their website: azarine intense luminous barrier moisturizer is a day-and-night moisturizer that's easy to absorb into the skin to treat skin barrier, makes skin look brighter and also helps even out skin tone. 
benefits: glow and deep hydration, brightening multilayer skin hydration and reduces redness, with mosscell tec no.1, strengthen skin barrier against urban aggressors. 
the packaging
the packaging: it comes in a light blue box with descriptions on the sides and back of the box in indonesian as well as the ingredients list printed on it. the light blue colors also applies to the jar. the jar is a transparent light blue plastic jar with white plastic screw cap. there's a plastic lid inside so the moisturizer doesn't come in contact with the air directly. however, the lid rim doesn't come onto the outer part, so if there's some of the moisturizer line the rim, it will make the lid stuck and hard to pull. there's a white plastic tub inside the jar, so from the outside, the jar looks big, but truthfully, the tub on the inside are way smaller. that's why i can finish it quicker than i thought i would be. it comes in 30 g, which is the usual size for a moisturizer so i don't know whether it is true or not since i finish them quicker.
the jar
the scent: there's no distinctive scent from the moisturizer, but i think it's similar to other ceramide moisturizers from other brand. 
the lid and the spatula
the product: it's a runny white gel type moisturizer. the texture is totally similar to other ceramide moisturizers. however, i think among the three, this one is the runniest. it's just slightly thicker than the green one, so both are easy to absorb. it does leave a bit of glow even until it's absorbed, but no tacky feeling.
how it looks like
the result: i can say that right off bat this one is more moisturizing compared to the green one. but it's similar to the other ceramide moisturizers. maybe somethinc one slightly more moisturizing than the other two? okay, that being said, if you have normal to dry skin, you won't have any problem with this one in the morning. however, if you have oily skin, it might take a minute or two for it to sink in. if you don't have much time in the morning, then you should think twice about trying this for your mornings. 
left: how it looks like
right: after spreading it around
i have to say that i have a hard time picking out which one is my favorite out of two. i do like the green one since it's lightweight and quick-absorbing, but it's too lightweight that it can seems to vanish on hot days. however, this one is too much for me in the mornings that i even skip it if i use a hydrating sunscreen. anyway, i think this will suit all skin types, so just adjust the amount according to your need and schedule. anyway, as for me, i like both so i will put both in my repurchase list. price wise, it's very affordable. i can't think how they manage to keep the price down so low. however, you can see that the packaging suffers a lot because of it, so i don't suggest you bring it with you while you're traveling. availability wise, since it's a local brand, it's easy to come across so you won't have hard time finding them.
when the marvel serums came out, there wasn't this variant yet. but they added three more to the lines, so there are two vitamin c serums now. one is regular vitamin c serum, and the other one has added diamond booster. however, around the same time, somethinc had released their diamond glow serum, so by the time this one hit the market, it wasn't new or unique anymore. but since i have a good experience with their original vitamin c and not so good experience with somethinc diamond booster serum, so i'm curious whether i will like this one or not.

this is the translated description from sociolla (can't see the description from their website because it might be sold out at the moment so there's no trace about this product in their official website): a serum with 10% vitamin c (ascorbyl glucoside) to brighten, reduce hyperpigmentation and prevent early aging. diamond ingredients will make face look flowing as well as moisturizing, and guaiazulene will reduce redness on the skin.

the packaging: since this one is included in the marvel collab series, the box comes with at least a figure of something related to marvel. this one is dark blue and black and has a picture of venom at front. you can read descriptions and ingredients list on the sides and back of the box. the serum itself comes in a similar dark blue glass bottle with white pump head. you have to turn the pump head to dispense the product. however, there's no sign whatever so you really need to make sure you've already closed the pump, or else, you will waste it by accidentally pressing it while it's opened. anyway, the bottle is similar to somethinc ones, so it only comes in 20 ml, while usually normal serum comes in 30 ml. 
the box
the scent: this one doesn't have any scent, but it doesn't smell acidic like the usual vit c serum.
the bottle
the product: the serum is dusty blue! just like somethinc diamond one. only this one is a tad darker? anyway, the consistency is similar as well. it's a gel type serum that's quite viscous. it doesn't melt easily. but it's easy to spread around. 
how it looks like on my hand
the result: it takes a minute to be absorbed and it leaves quite a glow. however, it's quite lightweight so i can keep using it in the morning. the only difference is, somehow my skin likes this one better than somethinc one. i don't get random breakouts when i use this serum. i also notice that my stubborn acne scars starts to fade a little bit faster than usual. 
sorry for the blur pic, but you can see the glow it gives
i can see why people talks about this serum a lot. so far, i quite like this serum. i think it'll be suitable for all skin types. as for me, honestly i can't pick which one is better, the regular vit c or the diamond added one. both works well, but the diamond one is slightly thicker. just try them to find out which one you like better. both are affordable and easy to get so just buy both and try them. as for me, i'll put this in my repurchase list along with the original vit c serum. 
as i've said repeatedly that i bought everything before the whole S project fiasco erupted. before the whole mess happened, i've already made a decision not to buy anything else from them since some of their products are just so-so for me. the ceramide line is their best selling one. i've tried their travel set, and out of 4, i'd probably like the cream. but i haven't tried the serum, so i want to try it. 

this is the translated description from their official marketplace: a serum formulated with combination of 5 different types of ceramide to maintain and treat skin barrier. giving skin the moisture it needed to keep moist and healthy. with added BFL probiotic that can help treat redness and acne. to maintain skin barrier, centella asiatica is added into this serum, which also soothes the skin.
benefit: soothe sensitive skin, treat redness, protect skin barrier
hero ingredients:
- ceramide: moist and strengthen skin barrier
- probiotic complex: help soothe skin
- centella asiatica: soothe skin
the box
the packaging: the serum comes in a light blue box with description at the back. they also print the ingredients list. however, this might be the last box where you can read the place it is made from. even on latest products, they even put the description in korean, as if to deceive people about the real origin of the company that manufactures the brand. anyway, the whole line of ceramide comes in similar packaging, so the serum truly looks like the toner. but the box is shorter since the serum size is also smaller. the serum comes in a transparent plastic bottle with white pump head covered with a transparent plastic cap. the serum comes in 20 ml, but lately i saw that they have a bigger size, 50 ml. the pump works well so i have no problem with it up until the end. 
the bottle
the scent: this doesn't seem to have fragrance in it, but it doesn't smell foul. but i can certainly pick subtle scent from the ingredients. 
pump head
the product: the serum comes in a light blue frosted bottle with white pump head. it looks as if it's a glass bottle, but it's not. the serum itself is a milky white gel type serum that's on the runny side. it's runny so i have no problem pumping it our with the pump. since it's runny, it's easy to spread it around but it takes awhile for it to be absorbed. i use two pumps for my whole face and neck.
how it looks like
the result: however, once it's absorbed, i can feel it's moisturizing without being too heavy on my skin. it sinks in nicely and layers well with my other skincare products. i have to say i'm agree with all the claims since i do feel it's moisturizing and soothing. in fact, i finish this fast because i quite like it.
after spreading it around
i do like this serum. so out of the whole line, i do recommend the toner, moisturizer and the serum if you want to try this line out. however, if you have any problems with the project S, then skip this one. i believe there are other serums out there which is similar to this one. i do think this serum is suitable for all skin types. but if you have dry skin, you might need something else on top of this one to seal the moisture. as for me, even though i like this one, i don't think it's worth repurchasing mainly because i can find something similar to this elsewhere. but price wise, it's affordable and easy to find, so go try it if you're curious. 
as i've said in my previous posts, i almost didn't find anything new nor exciting during my last visit to japan (my last year trip). however, on my last day, i was walking around cosme store and there was this helpful SA that patiently explained to me in her limited english. since i didn't find anything else, i decided to take her suggestion and got the travel set. i've never heard of the brand before, so let's cross our finger.

this is the description from their website: for those who are interested in cher couleur cosmetics and are using them for the first time, we have prepared a trial set. the set includes the naturepeau series, which gently cares for your skin. a soft type facial cleanser. okinawan sea mud (marine silt) and soap-type fine-grained and rich lather thoroughly washes away dirt. even after washing your face, it even out your skin's texture without making it feel tight. estimated amount: around 2 cm.

what's in the set:
- basic cream (cleansing): removes dirt from oil (makeup and sebum)
- whip soap (facial cleansing foam): removes dirt such as sweat and dust
- reply lotion (lotion): prepares your skin to be full of moisture
- duo cream (cream): protects your skin from losing moisture

the packaging: as this comes in a set, it comes in a plastic pouch with zipper to secure everything. the cleanser itself comes in a pearly white plastic tube with screw cap. there's a bit description at the back in japanese. the cleanser comes in 15 g which might not be much compared to other mini foam, but it can last for a week or more depends on the texture of the cleanser. 
how it looks like
the scent: they stated in their website that this has fragrance in it. however, as i'm bad in describing scent, i can't say how it smells. for me it's very subtle and not annoying at all.
description at the back
the product: this cleanser is a thick creamy foam cleanser. typically, this type of cleanser needs to be rubbed until it gets foamy like a whipped cream. in japan, there's this foam net which you can use to make a cleanser foamy. but since i don't have one, i just use my hands. anyway, using my hands only produce low foam, but with foreo, obviously it will foam more. and no, even though the description said that you should use 2 cm of product, i only use less and it's still enough.
how it looks like on my foreo
the result: as a cleanser, this works well. however, this is really similar to the famous senka whipped cleanser. it feels gentle while putting it on my face, but after washing it off, i can feel my skin is stripped clean. in fact, if it can make a sound, it will make a squeaky sound if i drag my finger on my face. obviously, my skin feels a bit dry afterward, but as long as i put a hydrating toner right afterward, it's all fine.

i have to say that among other products in this set that i've tried, this one is the least favorite for now. i've yet to try their first cleanser. i don't think i should recommend this one because this will lead to disaster if you don't hydrate your skin properly after using this cleanser. another cons, this one is not easy to find, considering that i only found this at cosme store. as you can predict,  i won't repurchase nor putting this on my list. 
the cons about using an eye cream in tube format, either with the massager attached or not, is that you can't see the remaining product inside, especially since the tube is opaque. that's why, i didn't realize that i almost finished my eye cream until it's finished. i had to quickly find something else as my eye cream. i didn't find anything interesting so i bought something from the aubree since i was buying something else from them. thus, i have no expectation at all. so let's see how it goes.

this is the translated description from their official marketplace channel: eye cream that can help stimulate collagen production so it helps fade fine lines and brighten dark circle. 
ingredients: Aqua, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Cetearyl Alcohol, Glycerin, Sodium PCA, Propylene Glycol Dibenzoate, PEG/PPG-20/20 Phenylisopropyl Caprylyl Dimethicone, Panax Ginseng Root Extract, Phenoxyethanol, Triethanolamine, PEG-20 Stearate, Carbomer, Polyacrylamide, C13-14 Isoparaffin, Laureth-7, Tocopheryl Acetate, Tetrasodium EDTA, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7
the box
the packaging: it comes in a white box with description in indonesian as well as the ingredients printed on the sides and back of the box. they seal the top part with sticker. the eye cream itself comes in a small jar. it's a frosted glass jar with white plastic screw cap. there's a plastic cover to make sure the product doesn't come in contact with air directly. there's a tiny spatula provided by the brand. even though it's tiny, it's still bigger than the cover plastic so they can't put it inside the jar and just put it on top of the jar. which is not ideal since every time i want to use it, i have to find it and clean it up. i think they should either change the packaging or ditch the spatula altogether. this comes in 20 g which is quite generous considering most eye creams come in 15 g size.
the jar
the scent: this one is unscented, which is a common thing for eye creams.
the seal inside
the product: this is a white cream. it has slightly gel texture into it, but not much. it's not super thick either so it's still easy to spread around. it's easy to tap with my finger and absorbed easily as well. 
how it looks like inside the jar
the result: i can still use this with my eye massager and it won't drag my under eye skin. the massager can still glide on easily. this feels moisturizing, however, i don't think it helps much with puffiness. as for the dark circle, since i sleep quite late, obviously it doesn't help much. anyway, since i don't take progress picture, it's hard to notice little difference. however, i don't think it helps much. 
top: how it looks like under my eyes
bottom: after blending it
i have to say this one is mediocre. just so-so. if you don't mind with the jar packaging, then you should try it. it's a decent eye cream, but it doesn't feel special. obviously i won't repurchase, but i think it will be suitable for all skin types, but maybe not mature skin as it's quite lightweight compared to other eye cream that's targeted toward aging skin.
as i've mentioned earlier in my other post that i almost didn't find anything new nor exciting during my last japan trip. however, on my very last day, i met a nice SA at cosme store and i spotted a nice travel set. obviously i love trying a new travel set. it's a good way to try several items all at once. and i can get some stuff for when i'm traveling, so i'm killing two stones in one. anyway, i've tried the toner and now i'm trying the moisturizer.

this is the translated description from their wesbite (thus it might sound ridiculous): for those who are interested in cher couleur cosmetics and are using them for the first time, we have prepared a trial set. the set includes the naturepeau series, which gently cares for your skin. a cream that feels like emulsion with reduced oil content. it can be used as a day cream in the morning and as a protective cream at night. the blended bio ingredients and shea butter give your skin firmness and shine, creating a refreshing and distinctive moisturizing effect. 

what's in the set:
- basic cream (cleansing): removes dirt from oil (makeup and sebum)
- whip soap (facial cleansing foam): removes dirt such as sweat and dust
- reply lotion (lotion): prepares your skin to be full of moisture
- duo cream (cream): protects your skin from losing moisture

the packaging: since this comes in a set, it comes in a plastic bag with zipper. there's a description at the back of everything inside but it's in japanese. the moisturizer itself comes in a mini pearly white plastic tub with screw cap. it's only 5g but it's okay. it'll be enough for around a week or so. anyway, the tub is really small, so it'll be easier to dig the moisturizer out with a spatula instead of your finger. especially if you have a big finger.
the jar
the scent: again, this one is supposedly fragranced, but i can't pinpoint what kind of scent it is and it's very subtle, so you don't need to worry about it.
description at the back
the product: it's a white thick cream. it might have a gel texture in it, but not much. since it's quite thick, i only need a tiny amount for my whole face and neck. it isn't the type of moisturizer that melts into the skin, but it's still spreadable and it takes a while to be absorbed.
how it looks like inside the jar
the result: this one is clearly moisturizing because it's thick. thicker than my previous night cream. however, it doesn't feel heavy at all. it layers well with my other skincare products and it doesn't pill at all. 
left: how it looks like on my hand
right: the slight glow that it gives afterward
i think this will suit dry skin more than oily skin. normal skin might get away with it as long as you adjust the amount and the layer of products that you use underneath the cream. as for me, this one works well to counter the dryness that might be happening because of the retinol and acid that i use every other night. however, since this one is not easy to get, i'd probably not repurchase this one.
