Skincare Review: Some By Mi's V10 Pure Vitamin C Soap
13 September 2019 • 30 day miracle soap Beauty Dubai glass skin korean skincare Skincare skincare routine some by mi V10 Pure Vitamin C Soap
For some time now, I have found a bar soap that effectively attends to my primary skin problem which is keeping my acne at bay. However, impulsivity hit me and I bought another soap of the same brand to test and compare its performance on my skin.
SOME BY MI has become a well-known Korean skincare brand when, from what I can remember, they created an online buzz with their 30 Day Miracle skincare set and a lot of beauty influencers and skincare enthusiasts uploaded their reviews on the products. Hence, I was intrigued, then immediately convinced of the promising reviews so I bought my first bar soap.
I decided to purchase the V10 Pure Vitamin C Soap due to its brightening and radiant effect on the skin and also the use of natural ingredients (not to mention, their little experiment on their video advertisement that really made me buy it). Initially, I expected that this soap will give me what it promised to do and will also take about 2-3 months to consume.
First try, I was amazed by its instant brightening effect after lathering it on my face. It wasn't drying and felt that my skin was completely cleansed even without using a cleanser brush. A week has passed and I was beginning to be unimpressed by it due to three reasons- 1. The brightening effect is only after every wash, 2. My face looks oily, not dewy-looking oily, but really oily especially on my forehead, and lastly 3. The soap easily runs out. I do not have any before and after photos to display the progress as it did not have lasting effects on me, although I should have kept some documentation still.
FINAL VERDICT
The soap did brighten my face only after cleansing. I expected it to lighten up my acne scars even just to a minimum amount because it contains Vitamin C, which helps with pigmentation, but unfortunately, it did not work. Also, I hated that my skin turned out oily afterwards and sometimes caused breakouts. Additionally, unlike the Miracle Soap bar which I can keep for 3 months, the V10 Pure Vitamin C Soap only took me 2-3 weeks to use the whole soap.
Will I repurchase? No, I think I would just return to using the Miracle Soap Bar and stick to it to meet the needs of my skin. In general, the V10 Pure Vitamin C Soap did not give significant improvement to my skin, although it grants complete cleansing and removes dirt off your face.
I will try to post more reviews on the products I will be incorporating to my skincare routine, as well as the new products I'll be trying for the first time. If you got any questions or comments, you're free to drop them below in the comment section. 'Til next time! :)
My 3 Skincare Empties and Here's Why I Will Repurchase
10 August 2019 • Beauty Bio-oil Bioderma Skincare Skincare Empties The Ordinary
Upon arriving in Dubai, I've been more dedicated to taking care of my skin since I witnessed the winter season which caused my skin to dry and of course summer, that keeps my skin oily and acne-prone. So I did my fair share and searched for suitable products to combat my skin problems. I made sure that I picked the right products that I will apply on my face because I have sensitive skin and I don't want to worsen my skin condition.
Below are the three products that I have emptied (some are almost empty) and my, perhaps, convincing reasons why I will buy them again. A little forewarning, in case you are interested in testing out the following products- the products did address the needs of my skin but it does not automatically mean that it may also work for you. Take note that we have different skin types and we must research the applicable products for our skin.
Bioderma Créaline H2O Solution Micellaire Cleanser
I must say this is a two-in-one product for me- makeup remover and toner. When I'm wearing makeup, I use this to wipe my makeup off and apply another swipe after washing my face.
Unlike the other toners that I have tried, this doesn't sting, effectively removes makeup and excess dirt on my face (that didn't come off with my facial cleanser), gentle on the skin and non-drying, unscented, and the best part- it's best for sensitive skin.
The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%- My oily skin produces more acne and I've been trying to prevent it for a long time now and none actually worked wonders. Not until I've heard about this magic serum. I've watched and read reviews on Youtube and from multiple blogs that shared their experiences and their verdict about this product. I purchased mine from Glamazle after being persuaded by how it improved the breakouts of those who religiously used it.
Buying it was not a wrong choice. In fact, it was the total opposite! After 3 weeks of regular use, it did reduce my breakouts, helped in minimizing my overly large pores, brightens my skin tone, and improved the appearance of my blemishes. I do have a say about its smell but it is fairly tolerable. After all, it does what it promises. An additional reason why I love and will repurchase this serum is that this single bottle lasted for four months. FOUR MONTHS. That will help you save cash for your next purchase or for other skincare products you wish to add to your routine.
Two drops are enough to cover the whole face. I apply it in a tapping motion as it what the others recommend doing, wait for it to dry and proceed to lather heavier creams.
Bio-Oil Skincare Oil
A cult favorite, miracle product, and a must-buy- definitely my mainstay in fading acne marks. This is the product I apply before moisturizer which completely seals all that I have applied on my face.
I've noticed how unbelievably fast it faded my acne marks (approximately up to 2 weeks). Not only it clears scars, but it also nourishes my skin and prevents it from being dry and flaky.
It fades my acne marks, brightens my skin tone, hydrates my skin, and leaves a glowy finish when you wake up.
All these products have become a staple part of my skincare routine and really helped with improving my skin condition, although my skin is still far from perfect. What about your skincare empties, or other beauty products you will continue to repurchase? I'd love to read them in the comment section below!
