Klairs Midnight Blue Youth Activating Drop is part of the brand’s blue product line, which helps keep the skin vibrant and youthful.

I’m already a big fan of their midnight blue calming cream; it’s especially suited for my sensitive skin. So I was very excited to try their midnight blue youth activating drop, which comes in the same lovely blue colour.

Does it work as well as their calming cream? Let’s find out.

Rovectin Clean Marine Micellar Deep Cleansing Water Review

February 11, 2021 by Jolina

Rovectin Clean Marine Micellar Deep Cleansing Water deep cleans without drying skin. Infused with marine plant extracts and sea salts, it thoroughly removes impurities; and deep sea water and hyaluronic acid to keep skin moisturized.

Rovectin Clean Marine Micellar Deep Cleansing Water Review

This Marine Micellar Deep Cleansing Water is the newest product in the Rovectin Clean line, in addition to the LHA Blemish Ampoule and the Lotus Water Cream.

It’s hypoallergenic, has a 100% vegan formula and has a low pH which makes it suitable for all skin types.

I’m From Honey Mask Review

February 4, 2021 by Jolina

I’m From Honey Mask is a wash-off mask that contains 38.7% natural honey to revitalize and hydrate skin, leaving you feeling refreshed and nourished.

I’m From has become one of my favourite Korean skincare brands. Like most k-beauty brands, they look to nature for ingredients beneficial to our skin. From their cult-favourite rice toner to my personal favourite, mugwort mask.

They’re cruelty-free, don’t use harmful additives in their products, and are always honest and transparent in their list of ingredients. In this case, the main ingredient is honey.

I’m all about natural ingredients lately — propolis, lotus water — and honey is one ingredient I was very excited to try.

Rovectin Clean Lotus Water Cream Review

February 2, 2021February 2, 2021 by Jolina

Rovectin Clean Lotus Water Cream is a lightweight, gentle moisturizer from Rovectin’s Clean Line. Made with 75% Lotus Water extract, it not only hydrates but helps you achieve clearer, younger looking skin as well.

If you’ve been following The Skin Experiment for a while (thanks!), you’d know that not only am I big fan of k-beauty and Asian skincare products; I’ve also become such a big fan of Rovectin.

Their story is inspiring, their philosophy is based on science, and every product I’ve tried so far has transformed my skin for the better.

I start my day by cleansing my face with Skin Essentials Conditioning Cleanser. I use Skin Essentials Activating Treatment Lotion as toner and essence at night.

Their LHA Blemish Ampoule has replaced most of the serums in my routine. And their Aqua Soothing UV Protector has a permanent place in my sunscreen rotation.

So I have a cleanser, an essence, a serum and a sunscreen.

I’ve tried their Cica Care Sleeping Pack and while it’s a great moisturizer, I find it too sticky and heavy for daily use.

Which is why I was so excited to receive this Lotus Water Cream from their Clean Line for review. I’ve heard so many good things. Let’s get to it.

Hada Labo Toner Review

February 2, 2021January 14, 2021 by Jolina

Hada Labo Toner is a mild, gentle toner that contains hyaluronic acid, a powerful humectant, for soft, smooth, hydrated skin.

Hada Labo is a Japanese skincare company known for its straightforward, no-fuss approach to skincare. They prioritize the science over the aesthetic, like packaging and fragrance. This makes them affordable too.

Similar to my favourite Hada Labo Foaming Cleanser and Hada Labo Moisturizer, Hada Labo Toner is called many different names like:

Hada Labo Rohto Goku-Jun Hyaluronic Lotion
Hada Labo Gokujyun Super Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Lotion
Rohto Hadalabo Gokujyn Hyaluronic Acid Lotion (Moist)
Rohto Mentholatum – Hada Labo Gokujyun Hyaluronic Acid Lotion

They all refer to the same toner and this review covers them all.

Note that there are two kinds of Hada Labo toners though: light and regular/moist. I use light and haven’t really found a resource detailing a significant difference between the two so I won’t make distinctions here.

Also, Hada Labo sells premium versions of their toner (gold packaging) and we won’t cover those products in this review.
