Klairs’ Freshly Juiced Line is all about skin brightening.

Their Soft Airy UV Essence SPF 50 protects skin from harmful UV rays with a featherlight finish, no white cast, and it’s seriously one of the best sunscreens I’ve tried.

Their Freshly Juiced Vitamin Drop contains 5% vitamin C to even out skin tone, tighten pores, brighten skin, and fade pigmentation.

This vitamin E mask, on the other hand, is formulated with 3 powerhouse skincare ingredients that help keep the skin bright and healthy — vitamin E, niacinamide, and adenosine.

By Wishtrend Vitamin C Serum Review

By Wishtrend Vitamin C Serum is formulated with 15% pure vitamin C, as well as ferulic acid, and together they work to deliver antioxidant benefits, skin brightening, acne prevention, antibacterial effects and more.

Vitamin C is a powerhouse skincare ingredient.

The advantages of using vitamin C include:

Evening out skin tone and texture
Diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
Brightening overall complexion, and more

I’ve been trying out different kinds of vitamin C products throughout the year.

Because I have sensitive skin, I started with toners and moisturizers, products that generally have lower concentrations of vitamin C, so I have less chances of having a bad reaction to them (check out this vitamin C skincare guide for beginners if you want to learn more).

By Wishtrend Pure Vitamin C 15% with Ferulic Acid is my first foray into the world of vitamin C serums.

There are thousands of options out there but I chose this product because it was formulated for vitamin C beginners and people like me who have sensitive skin.

And with the addition of ferulic acid, not only is the potency of vitamin C maximized, it also makes this product a great way to manage adult acne, which I suffer from.

Vitamin C skincare benefits include:

Evening out skin tone and diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
Brightening skin and helping reduce the appearance of dark spots
Smoothening out skin’s rough texture, including acne scars
And just giving you that much sought-after glow

Bottomline: Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that definitely deserves a place in your skincare routine.

There’s a few things to keep in mind to really maximize its benefits though. Let’s get to it.

Klairs Gentle Black Fresh Cleansing Oil Review

November 10, 2020October 16, 2020 by Jolina

Klairs Gentle Black Fresh Cleansing Oil is a lightweight cleansing oil that removes dirt, makeup and other impurities without causing any skin irritation. Usually used at the first step of a double cleansing routine, it preps the skin for the rest of your skincare regimen.

Klairs Gentle Black Fresh Cleansing Oil Review

Klairs is a popular Korean skincare brand that’s all about simplicity. They only use the most necessary ingredients to make a product work as effectively as possible.

I’m a big fan of their Midnight Blue Calming Cream and their Soft Airy UV Essence SPF 50.

So I was excited to try their Klairs Gentle Black Fresh Cleansing Oil (not to be confused with their Gentle Black Deep Cleansing Oil though, which offers deeper cleansing).

I’m pretty loyal to DHC Cleansing Oil but since this product is from Klairs, I was willing to give it a shot and, I must admit, I had very high expectations.
