Why am I so obsessed with the dear klairs Midnight Blue Youth Activating Drop Serum?


This bottle of blue potion gave my skin

  • Helped give my skin a youthful appearance



Oh, did I mention they have won:

So, definitely looking forward to those benefits as this is now going to be a staple in my skincare routine!

A couple of days ago, Snoe Beauty sent me their newest products, the S-SKIN by Snoe Beauty line! It is a full range of soaps that cater to your exact skin needs! What's not to love right? 

A little background on Snoe Beauty: 

Snoe Beauty aims to provide fun yet quality cosmetics and beauty products using natural ingredients ranging from skincare, haircare, makeup, and fragrances.


If you're unsure which soap is for you, worry not because I am here to explain which soap is which! 


S-SKIN by Snoe Beauty  has 6 variants:

  • Snoe Beauty S-SKIN HA Hyaluronic Face and Body Soap #dewyskin #skinplumping
  • Snoe Beauty S-SKIN AHA Malic Face and Body Soap #Glowup #Hydration #pHbalanced
  • Snoe Beauty S-SKIN AHA Mandelic Face and Body Soap #glassskin #resurfacing
  • Snoe Beauty S-SKIN TXA Tranexamic Face and Body Soap #skinmiracle #skingoals
  • Snoe Beauty S-SKIN AHA Glycolic Face and Body Soap #Luminousskin #Rejuvenation
  • Snoe Beauty S-SKIN TXA Tranexamic Face and Body Soap #skinmiracle #skingoals
  • Snoe Beauty S-SKIN BHA SALICYLIC Face and Body Soap #porerefining #refining

Each soap comes in a colorful wrapper but the soap itself is not colored or marked so make sure you either use one at a time or have a system to differentiate them if you plan on using a couple at the same time. 


All soaps have the same weight and base  -- Net wt. 90 g/ 3.175 oz and Coconut Oil, with the only difference being the active ingredients. 


They all have micro-bubble technology as well, so each soap is sure to give you a luxurious lather during bath time. 


The soaps are all unscented as well, perfect for those who prefer non-fragranced items. Honestly not an issue for me, but it was surprising since I know Snoe Beauty to have delectable scents! 


Let's talk about them one by one!

My Thoughts about SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Toning Toner


A few days ago, Review Hunters reached out to me to try out the SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Toning Toner. As I am always on the lookout for new skincare products to try, I said yes and got my package sorted.


While waiting for the items to arrive (as the items ship directly from South Korea), I researched the items, and here is what I have learned.



SKIN1004 started in 2012 in South Korea with a promise to deliver the trusted skincare benefits of its star ingredient, Centella Asiatica, which they source from Madagascar. They also aim to be your skin's guardian angel, as the number “one thousand and four” is a homonym for “angel” in the Korean language.



The main ingredients of their Toning Toner are: Centella Asiatica extract, PHA (gluconolactone), and hyaluronic acid



What do these ingredients do to our skin?



1. Centella Asiatica Extract

The star ingredient, Centella Asiatica Extract or also known as "cica" or "Madecassoside" is an anti-aging, moisturizing, soothing, and healing ingredient that is almost always featured in most South Korean skincare products. It also has an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect which is something skincare lovers look for in a skincare item. Most importantly, it helps revitalize the skin's protective barrier and neutralize the free radical damage caused by the sun and pollution exposure.





2. PHA (gluconolactone)

PHA or Polyhydroxy acid is a chemical exfoliant related to the better known AHAs and BHAs. The main highlight of this ingredient is that it focuses on the skin surface rather than the deeper skin layers, making it gentler than other chemical exfoliants. This is recommended for dry skin as it is also a humectant, which means it helps to keep moisture on the skin.






3.
Hyaluronic Acid

Lastly, we have hyaluronic acid which is a  natural humectant which means it helps keep moisture on the skin. Amazingly, it can hold up to 1,000 times its molecular weight in water. It helps minimize skin texture like lines and wrinkles and also helps keep the skin barrier strong. Another highlight of this ingredient is that it can help lighten dark spots and pimple scars. Hyaluronic Acid is best for dry skin but can help regulate oil glands for oily skin. 

Yesterday, I received the product and so here is what I think about it.

It comes in a sturdy white box that feels simple yet luxe. The Madagascar Sahara is also featured prominently on the box to highlight where the power ingredient comes from. 

It says: This is a daily toner that contains Centella Asiatica Extract from the untouched nature of Madagascar and PHA, a gentle exfoliating ingredient. These properties help maintain clearer and healthier skin and aid in activating the skin turnover cycle. 




There is also the usage instructions: Apply an appropriate amount to either a cotton pad or directly on to the palm and gently at into the skin. 


I like that it is has a clear caution on the box that says this is for external use, not for children and eyes, and to stop using if there is any irritation. The sticker seal is also great, along with the "12 months after opening" sign on the bottom. 




There is also a full list of ingredients; 



Upon opening, I liked the cute messages on the flaps that say "The gift from the untouched nature" and "From Madagascar". It tells me that they ut thought on the presentation of the item. 





The one I got is 210ml but there is also a 400ml version. The bottle itself is very minimalistic which is a welcome trend nowadays. It just states what it is and a photo of the Madagascar Sahara at the back. I suggest keeping the box if you would want to look back on the ingredients or other information.



Now, for my thoughts about the product itself.

The product is definitely worthy of a place on my vanity table. It is also durable as the packaging is made of thick plastic and not glass. I also like that it has a seal, which makes me feel at ease that my product has not been tampered with. 



Surprisingly, there is no detectable scent. I expected it to smell like nature, but nothing at all. The texture is very watery, and it does not leave any sticky or tacky residue on the skin. 



I will try this for a week and let you know what the effects are on my skin. 


You can purchase this item from the following online shops, whichever may be most accessible for you. Note that I can not guarantee the authenticity of the product from the following websites except Shopee as there is where I got mine.
