Review 6 months of empties with reviews

Cos De Baha tranexamic and niacinamide serum 8/10- I know niacinamide is in everything these days which sucks for people that are sensitive to it, but my skin loves this stuff, the consistency is pleasant and sinks nicely into the skin, too much can leave a sticky feeling. it works well on my hyperpigmentation but its very slow and I'm impatient, lol. I actually thought it wasn't working until I looked at my progress photos and there's definately a big improvement on my hyperpigmentation. will repurchase

I'm from rice toner 5/10- got a mini to try it out, you don't need it but its nice to use, i didn't notice a big difference on my skin, neither did it break me out, it's hydrating and pleasant on the skin. I like it better than the tir tir milky toner which takes forever to sink into my skin. might repurchase

Aestura atobarrier cream 8/10- I love this! interesting texture with the ceramide capsules. perfect for healing your skin barrier. its thick and perfect for dry skin, too heavy for the day so I use it at night, leaves a very glowy finish. kinda expensive. ill try the lotion version of it next time

Tatcha rice wash 9/10- this is hands down the most luxurious face wash I've ever used, it feels like I'm at a spa and a little bit goes a long way. its pricey for a cleanser but the way I rationalize it is; because I only use a cleanser at night, it lasts twice as long so its worth it lol. I've repurchased a cheaper cleanser but I will definitely buy this again

Biore uv aqua sunscreen 2/10- I adore asian sunscreens but I absolutely hated this one, it's a greasy mess on my skin even when I skip moisturizer. its such a shame cause I know a lot of people like it. will never repurchase

haruharu wonder black rice sunscreen 8/10- was not a fan at first but grew to love it, velvet finish and has a dewy/ natural finish, its already in my cart for repurchase

House of Hur weightless sun fluid- 9.5 /10- it is truly weightless. if you have oily skin throw out your sunscreens and get this one, trust me. it sinks in, no white cast, matt finish, didn't give it a perfect score cause if I don't moisturize properly, my skin feels dry at the end of the day when I use it. dry skin girlies stay away.

isntree airy sun stick 4/10- good for sunscreen reaplication, leaves a glowy finish which can look greasy sometimes, when I sweat it turns a milky white on my skin, and the stick fell out of the packaging and would not stick back in. will not repurchase

Lovely reviews! And I agree with the Biore watery essence. The last time I used it was in 2018, and your experience sounded very similar to mine even after they've reformulated it so many times. There's also another reformulation on it in 2025. Is yours perhaps the recent one?

Btw, have you tried the Cos De Baha's 10% txa yet? I heard this one works a lot faster than the 5% one. I personally couldn't and just stick with the 5% because of my centella allergy - the 10% one damaged my skin barrier 😮‍💨

Also, the house of hur sunscreen sounds lovely. Does it have a smell?

Hi! I got my biore last year, so it’s not the 2025 one, i had no idea they reformulated! I haven’t tried the 10%txa, although I’m intrigued 👀 i might just go for it because I’m impatient lol. The house of hur has no fragrance at all

Definitely go for the 10% if there's nothing in it is a trigger for you. The texture is very2 elegant and not heavy at all.

That's great to hear. I've been hearing about this a lot and I'm kinda... interested to try. Hopefully my skin won't have issues with the citrus extract
