this is the description from their website: a 2-in-1 day and night moisturizer formulated to strengthen skin's protective barrier and help fight early signs of aging, while actively improving hydration deep within the multilayers of skin. proven suitable for all skin types with 5 powerful barrier repairing ingredients: 5% niacinamide, ceramide, peptide, hyaluronic acid, centella asiatica. 

the packaging: it comes in a white/red box with description on the sides and at the back both in indonesian and english as well as the ingredients list. the box can be opened completely and there's more description inside in english, which is similar to their serums packaging. the cream itself comes in red plastic tub with white plastic lid separator and a tiny spatula inside. i have to say that the spatula is quite useless since it's so tiny that i can barely get anything scooped by it. It comes in regular 30 g size, just like any other moisturizer.

The scent: this one is scentless and doesn’t have any funny smell in it.

The product: the moisturizer is a white gel type moisturizer that’s a bit viscous. It might be comparable to true to skin mugwort moisturizer. It’s easy to spread around, although it’s not that easy to sink in. I notice that it takes a minute or two to be completely sink in. 

The result: well, this one feels similar to other gel type moisturizers that i’ve tried lately, however, it doesn’t feel special. It feels just okay. It doesn’t make my face greasy as the day goes by but it’s not enough if the weather gets colder. That’s why i didn’t bring this with me to finland. 

That being said, this feels mediocre. Yeah sure, it’s hydrating and moisturizing without being too heavy, but nothing special about it. I could say that elsheskin, true to skin, and somethinc supple moisturizer are still the winners for me. So yeah, so sad to say that i won’t repurchase this. However, if you’re looking for an affordable lightweight moisturizer that works, then this might be a good option for you. I think it’ll be suitable for all skin type except for dry skin. Unfortunately, they don’t have this in smaller size? Correct me if I’m wrong. Anyway.. now i know why it gets overshadowed by the other moisturizer. 

this is translated from their catalogue: 8% snap 8 peptide is the next generation anti aging ingredient from argireline that's widely known to fight aging signs. it helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles, tighten skin and maintain skin elasticity, boost skin hydration, help skin barrier function. pH 5-5,5

suitable for aging skin, uneven skin texture, damaged skin barrier

snap 8 peptide used in this serum is a vegan friendly one. this serum can be botox alternatives, which helps reduce fine lines, wrinkles and makes the skin looks younger. 

ingredients: water, phenoxyethanol, aloe barbadensis extract, persea gratissima (avocado) fruit extract, glycerin, propylene glycol, caprylyl glycol, ethylhexylglycerin, acetyl octapeptide-3, citric acid, potassium sorbate, sodium citrate, sodium benzoate, soluble collagen

the packaging: just like the other serums from this line, they all come in white box with another color combination that's coordinated according to its function. red for hydrators (which i've tried almost all of them, i think i only have one left in this line that i haven't tried), yellow for acid (BHA, vitamin c and stuff), purple for retinol, and for this one, somehow it's green. it's the only serum in the green line. there's description all over the box in indonesian as well as the ingredients list. you can crack open the box and there's additional description on the inside. the serum itself comes in light-bulb shaped glass bottle with color coordinated neck and dropper to dispense the product. there are two sizes, the 12 ml (sample size) and the 32 ml (the full size). it's weird since usually they will be 10 ml and 30 ml, but who's complaining? anyway, i think the dropper for the sample size is too short that i have to pour it straight from the bottle when i reach three quarter of it. the dropper for the full size is decent that i only need to pour it for 2-3 times before i finish the whole stuff.

the scent: i don't think it's scented but there's no weird scent as well. so, yeah, it's suitable even for sensitive skin. 

the product: i've tried other brand's peptide serum, and there's on thing in common between them, they all are on the thick side. so obviously, seeing this serum is called peptide and avocado extract serum, i think that it'll be thick as well. but no, i was wrong. this serum is transparent and liquid, just like water. i was surprised when i tried it the first time. anyway, since the dropper is really small, i use three droppers for my whole face and neck. 

the result: well, since it's liquid, then it's easy to absorbed within seconds. in fact, the first few times, i don't feel like using anything. it's wayyyy to runny for my night routine. after a few days, i start to notice that it's similar to the inoceramide one. it's more like hydrating rather than moisturizing. a tad moisturizing but not much. if you use retinol and other acid, i don't think using this serum is enough to counter the dryness effect. it layers well with my other skincare products, however, this is not something that i can use before using foreo bear.

okay, it's safe to say that i'm quite disappointed in this serum. i was hoping for a moisturizing one, but this one is definitely not. if you're looking for lightweight serum, then this might be a good option for you. since it's liquid, you can use it day or night and it will be suitable for all skin type. price wise, it's still affordable. as for me, no, i won't buy it again. i think votre peau peptide or somethinc one is more on my alley rather than this one. but don't let me stop you from trying it if you think this is something that you'd like. 

this is translated from their catalogue found in their website: encapsulated retinol is formulated with encapsulated technology that makes it gentler and easier to absorbed into skin layers. when the retinol is absorbed, it will released slowly so it doesn't irritate the skin. retinol function such as reducing fine lines and wrinkles, improving skin elasticity, fighting against acne and acne scars, brightening skin tone. 

suitable for fighting skin problems such as: aging signs, acne, hyperpigmentation, uneven texture, dull.

safe to combined with: hyaluronic acid, ceramide, cica, snap8 peptide, bakuchiol

not recommended with: lactic acid (AHA), lactobionic acid (PHA), salicylic acid (BHA), vitamin c

use with caution with: niacinamide

the box

description on the box as well as the ingredients list

ingredients list: water, polysorbate 20, hydroxypropyl cyclodextrin, caprylic/ capric triglyceride, phenoxyethanol, retinol, aloe barbadensis (leaf) extract, propylene glycol, triethanolamine, polyacrylate-13, disodium EDTA, glyceryl laurate, glycerin, vaccinium angustifolium (fruit) extract, polyisobutene, tocopherol, citric acid, soluble collagen, sorbitan isostearate, sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate.

the packaging: it comes in a white box with purple accent. i think they color coded the products as the hydrating stuff are red, the retinol/bakuchiol in purple. there are other stuff in yellow (probably vitamin c related or the exfoliating stuff) and green (the peptide). the box is similar to elsheskin one. you can open the box completely (which makes it easier for recycling i guess) and there's added description on the inside part of the box. the serum itself comes in a light bulb-shape glass bottle with dropper to dispense the product. the bottle is transparent so you can see the product inside. the serum is supposed to be yellowish, but there's some sediment on top of the serum if it's being stagnant for so long. but i can just shake it to dissolve it again. there are two sizes, 12 ml and 32 ml. both are unusual since usually full size one comes in 30 ml while the sample one varies from 5 ml to 10 ml.

the scent: there's no added fragrance but since they add blueberry into the mix, i can smell a bit fruity scent but it's very faint.

the product: it's a yellowish liquid type serum so it's easy to spread around and doesn't take long to be absorbed. the instruction say to use 3-4 drops at first before adding another drop, making it 5 drops for the whole face and neck. as for me, i don't count the drops. maybe half to three quarter of the dropper for my whole face and neck. looking at the ingredients, they do make sure that they add moisturizing and soothing agents to counteract the dryness effect caused by retinol. 

the result: since it's been awhile since i use retinol, i decided to take it slow. i use it twice a week for two weeks before using it every other day for two weeks. and then up it to every day. only pause on sunday because i still have to finish my BHA serum. the rest of the skincare is the same with the exception of the moisturizer. i alternate sulwhasoo firming cream and votre peau night cream because the votre peau one contains glycolic acid (yes, i know, some of you might cringe). anyway. so far, my skin has been tolerating the serum quite well. i don't see any redness nor dryness even after using it every day. in fact, i have to say that it helps with acne a lot. i start to stop getting cystic acne almost immediately after i use it every other day. i do still get acne here and there due to mask wearing, but it matures quickly and heals fast.

anyway, i'm quite surprise that my skin tolerates this one better. honestly, i almost never heard about this one, so i'm quite pleased to find that this one is a gem. my only complaint is the formulation. there's still some sediment on top of the solution so i have to shake it well before using it. if only it's completely homogenous, then it'll be better. they offer two sizes, so you can try it in sample size if you don't want to commit to the full size yet. price wise, it's still affordable, and it's easy to get. i'll put this in my rotation list if i ever run out of product to try. 

this is translated from their catalogue: hyaluronic acid, formulated with mini oligo HA or smaller molecular type hyaluronic that's designed to penetrate skin deeper so it helps hydrate and smooth skin, make skin supple, increase skin barrier function, fight aging signs such as fine lines and wrinkles on skin.

benefits:

- increase skin elasticity and maintain skin moisture

- gives maximal hydration to skin layers

- helps reduce trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL)

- helps increase skin barrier function

- helps calm down inflamed skin because of acne

suitable for: dry skin, dry patches and flakiness, dehydrated skin, aging skin

ingredients list: water, propylene glycol, hyaluronic acid, propanediol, glycerin, ethylhexylglycerin, citric acid, sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate, sodium citrate, soluble collagen

the packaging: it comes in white box and the color combination is coded to the type of the serum. for the hydrator serums like this one, the color is red, so the box is red/white combination. there are descriptions on the box in indonesian as well as the ingredients list. the box is similar to elsheskin moisturizer, that you can open it completely flat and there's more description on the inside just like the other serum. as i've mentioned, there are two sizes, 12 ml for the sample size and 32 ml for the full size. i know, the size is weird. usually it will be 10 ml and 30 ml, but i don't exactly measure it, so it might be 10 and 30. anyway, the serum comes in light-bulb shape transparent glass bottle with dropper to dispense the product. the neck color is coordinated to the type, so it's red as well. my complaint is the dropper is really short so once i'm left with a quarter left, it's hard to get it with the dropper and i have to just pour it on my palm.

the scent: as you can see in the ingredients list, there's no added fragrance and luckily, there's no weird synthetic scent that comes from the serum. 

the product: this one is a watery type serum, totally like toner. it looks and feels similar to the cica serum that i've tried before. since it's watery, it's very quick to absorbed and doesn't leave tacky feeling. i'm quite surprised to see short ingredients list but as you can see, it's very simple with hydrating and moisturizing stuff. 

the result: i have to say among three other hydrator serums that i've tried, this might be my least favorite. basically it feels like a toner. it doesn't help much, especially since my toner is more heavy lifting than this one. so i feel it's a bit meh. but it does hydrate, just.. not much. 

as you can see, i'm glad i didn't buy the full size as this one is a bit meh. the hydration that it provides is minimal, less than the inoceramide one, similar to the cica one, but the cica one has soothing property so it does have a bit something else rather than this one. anyway, if you're looking for a basic, hydrating serum, then this might be a choice. it does what it claims, it doesn't have added fragrance and the price is really affordable. but if you like something more, then you should skip this. oh, and the reason i think it might not go with my foreo bear is, it's too thin like toner. i don't think it will provide smooth canvas for my bear to glide all over my face. that being said, won't repurchase this one. 

this is translated from their catalogue: this is a powerful serum to treat sensitive skin (soothing and calming irritated skin) with natural ingredients from centella asiatica (cica) or known as daun pegagan that has lots of benefits for skin, such as: 

- calms irritated skin

- helps reduce redness 

- helps with acne

- gives maximum hydration 

- helps improve skin barrier function

benefits:

- helps reduce itch and irritation

- helps reduce redness on face

- calms dry and inflamed skin

- helps to reduce acne

- gives optimum hydration to the skin

- increases skin moisture and improves skin barrier function

suitable for: irritated skin and redness, blemish skin, dry skin, dehydrated skin.

cica has been known as herbal plants that can be used to heal wound, calm redness and irritation. cica in this serum can gives moisture to skin as well as reduce transepidermal waterloss (TEWL) by strengthening or increasing skin barrier function.

ingredients list: water, propylene glycol, centella asiatica (leaf) extract, glycerin, propanediol, phenoxyethanol, aloe barbandensis (leaf) extract, dimethyl isosorbide, acrylates/ C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer, triethanolamine, citric acid, sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate, citrullus lanatus (watermelon) fruit extract, sodium citrate, soluble collagen.

the packaging: it comes in a white/red box combination. they color coded the box and packaging according to the type. if it's hydrating, it's red and white. for brightening it's orange. for retinol/bakuchiol, it's purple. yellow for exfoliating and green for peptide. so, for this cica, it's red. there's description on the sides and the back in english and indonesia as well as the ingredients list at the back. you can open the box until it's completely flat, probably for repurposing or recycling purpose. but they still the top of the box with hologram sticker. this kind of packaging is similar to to elsheskin one. it also has more description in the inside part. the sample size is 12 ml which is quite decent for a serum. while the full size on is 32 ml. the sample size is the miniature of the full size one. the serum comes in a transparent glass bottle that has light-bulb shape with dropper to dispense the serum. at first, i thought it was cute to have it shaped round like a light-bulb, but now i think it's annoying. it takes more space in my vanity and the dropper is quite short so it's hard to get the remaining serum if it's only a quarter left in the bottle.

the scent: i think it's scentless. considering that it has watermelon extract, i thought it would have watermelony scent, but nothing. so i guess it'll be okay for sensitive skin.

the product: the serum is transparent runny liquid type serum. it totally looks like water. very quick to absorbed like water. it's absorbed within seconds and doesn't give sticky feeling afterward. 

the result: it gives hydration alright, but not too much. i think if you use rich toner, then this serum might feels meh. it's very runny so if you have dry skin, i don't think it'll do much. as for soothing, it helps a bit, but if i have to judge, other cica serum or product that i've tried gives more clear result than this one. other than added hydration and a bit soothing, i don't feel anything else. it doesn't help reduce acne as well. i think the glowincpotion and the somethinc hydrapore works better in keeping acne at bay. 

honestly, i think i won't repurchase this one. it's not doing much to my skin. i think it'll be okay for combination skin or oily skin, but for dry skin, it won't do much. but, if you like the cute packaging and the simplicity of the product, then you can try it. the price is still reasonable for both the sample or full size. and even though it's sold out, somehow it's faster to get it restocked rather than the avoskin one. compared to the inoceramide one, i like the inoceramide one better as it gives a perfect balance of hydration and moisture. i still have the hyaluronic one in the same category, so i'll try that one first before taking any more conclusion. 

this is the description from the box: moisturizing skin-repairing serum for all skin types, especially for dry and sensitive skin, with encapsulated molecule and sustain released system to strengthen skin's natural moisture barrier. 

made with active ingredients: 5% inoceramide, collagen, pomegranate extract, aloe vera. pH leveL:5,70-6,50. key benefits:

- strengthens the skin's natural moisture barrier

- improves skin texture and elasticity

- relieves signs of sensitivity and irritation

- delivers lasting hydration and helps lock in moisture

- restores and repairs damaged, dehydrated skin

- help protect the skin from daily pollutant

targets: dryness, dehydration, loss of firmness, damaged skin barrier, signs of aging.

recommended for: normal, oily, dry, combo, acne prone, sensitive skin. 

the packaging: all the serums come in white box with description in english at front and both sides, and ingredients list at the back. they seal the top part of the box with hologram sticker. they color coded the top of the box as well. red is for moisturizing one. they have other colors as well, as yellow, green, and purple. you can open the box completely just like elsheskin one so it's easier to stack for recycling. there's added description inside in english. the layout is really similar to elsheskin. the serum comes in lightbulb shape glass bottle with dropper to dispense the product. the label is the same color as the top of the box. they have smaller and bigger size, the smaller one is just 12 ml, while bigger ones are 32 ml, which are odds. usually full size serum is around 30 ml. 

the scent: i think it's scentless, but since my other skincare has added fragrance, i can't be sure about this one to be completely scentless. but if it does have any fragrance in it, then it must be very subtle.

the product: i was surprised when i tried it for the first time. for a moisturizing serum, it's very runny. it's a milky white runny type serum. i use a full dropper sometimes two for my whole face and neck. the dropper is quite short so there's not much product per drop. since the serum is runny, it's easy to spread around and it doesn't take much time to be completely absorbed. looking at the ingredients list, it contains moisturizing ingredients like glycerin and ceramide. it also contains aloe vera extract and pomegranate extract. 

the result: though it contains moisturizing ingredients, but when i use it, i feel it's really lightweight. i've tried other moisturizing that targeted as anti aging and most of them are richer than this serum. i don't have any problem with this serum as it's lightweight. i can use other serum or other skincare products on top of the serum without any problem. however, i don't think it'd be enough if i used a retinol serum. i might need something more aside from this one.

i have to say as a moisturizing serum, this one is really lightweight, thus i agree this is suitable for all skin types. however, if you have dry skin, you'd might need something else rather than rely on this one solely. as for me, i'd like to try their other serums as they have lots of serum variants. price wise, it's still affordable, just make sure to buy on sales to make it even cheaper if you want to buy in bulk. as this is a local brand, you can buy this from their official marketplaces or via sociolla and other online shops.
