Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream Review

 

My thoughts on the product: So, storytime guys. Time and time again, I got proof that niacinamide doesn't suit my skin. But with that damn ingredient being everywhere and me choosing to ignore my previous lesson, I used the Loreal Anti-Spot Whitening Derm White Essence.

I am by no far, a skincare newbie but I screwed up here. Big time.

Not only did my spots show any signs of lightening, but instead I was rewarded with huge ass red pimples on both sides on my cheeks and chin. It was like a freaking maize crop grew on my face overnight.

And believe me. For one week I tried EVERYTHING. Just using a cleanser and moisturizer (Simple Light), using snail mucin (which did somehow calm them down), and even changing my bedsheets and pillows everyday because of me being paranoid.

It was then I remembered that I have got some samples of the Klairs Blue Midnight Calming Cream (such a mouthful) in my stash, thanks to Limeseconnect. And it was supposed to be really good for calming down aggravated skin.

At this point, I had nothing to lose so decided to try it out.


So, I cleansed my face, applied 2 pumps of Cosrx Snail Mucin, and applied a thick layer of the Klairs Blue Calming cream (the sample size is generous).

And I am not even kidding that my skin calmed down so so much and felt so much better after 1 hour of application. The redness went down considerably and the damn itching went down (which helped in me not wanting to touch my face).

Needless to say, that I ordered the largest size of it right away.

Long story short, my skin is so much better now. No pimples, but the marks are here. I have slowly started introducing the Minimalist Alpha Arbutin, and it seems to agree with my skin. The rest of my skincare routine is extremely minimal for now.

I can't be happy enough with this cream. This has been a life saviour for me. I just hope Klairs don't stop the production of this cream. Ever.

And also fuck you Niacinamide (sorry to those people who love it).

Side effects: None for me. Might feel heavy to some. But wasn't too much of a issue for me.

Final verdict: Honestly, 1000/5.

If there was one thing I could buy with the last pennies of my broke ass, it would be this. This saved my skin. But I would highly advice you to get some sample sizes first and test it out. 2k is a lot to spend on a product that won't work for you.

Repurchase status: Holy freaking grail. Will repurchase forever.

Put Simply Beat the Sun Sunscreen Review

Image
  My Experience- It blends very easily & just melts into the skin similar to Korean sunscreen & does not leave any white cast at all, so it will be suitable for all skin shade. It settles to somewhat matte finish & does not make face shiny at all. It does not sting my eyes & I’m really happy with that as every sunscreen does (my eyes are very sensitive). It does not pill at all. Reapplication is very easy with this one & skin does not fell heavy after the reapplication. I do not apply makeup so can’t comment on over the makeup reapplication. It takes some time to blend if you have applied many layers of skincare products. It’s really hydrating so I skip my moisturizer with this one. It alsi has Niacinamide & Ceramides so you don’t need a separate Niacinamide serum with this. It can be removed easily even with a gentle cleanser. Uv Exposure- Since there’s winter season & our region barely gets sunlight in this month so can’t comment on it. Verdict- I will...

Minimalist Retinoid 2% Review

Image
  Have been using this for almost 2 months now and here is my experience: I have sensitive, combination acne-prone skin, and I have a fair complexion so even slight irritation is very evident on my skin. I use this once a week, and I don't use any other active a day before and after it (sometimes I leave more days in the between). Hasn't irritated my skin and never got a 'purge' with it. Although, sometimes, I do get a breakout or two the next day, but nothing severe (dies out pretty quickly), and I expect that with a vit-A product. I also use glyco-6 and Minimalist SA once a week (on separate days). But I have been using these two ingredients for way longer, so I know that these recent changes in my skin are due to this Retinoid. My skin has become more even-toned, smoother, radiant and healthier with this. Even Glyco-6 couldn't get rid of my bumpy acne texture but this did. My skin looks like it has light layer of a BB cream on it, so I barely feel like wearing ma...
