Review: Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Asiatica Toner & Ampoule, COSRX Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence

Hai hai!

Today I'm going to do a review of the products that I have listed on the tittle of this thread. I also have a bonus product at the end of the thread so make sure you read it all the way down! 

Before I give you my review, I just want to clarify that:

1. I am not a dermatologist nor am I a professional at certain field. I am just an ordinary customer. I do this review because these products work well on me, thus I would like to give the best impressions in hope that I can help readers to decide whether or not should they buy the products.
2. I bought these by myself (fml who would ever sponsor me) so this review is purely my own opinion with no force. If I say the products are good then it is really good. I'm very cautious and picky when it comes to anything that I put through my sensitive skin.
3. All pictures that I use on this thread are taken by myself (the ones with information) and other than that I took it from Google under its own license and copyright. By no mean I am trying to claim other pictures than mine belong to me.

Let's start the review!

First of all, I will tell you my skin type.
I have:

• Combination skin. But I'm leaner to oily skin type, especially on my T-Zone and my chin. So it's really hard for me to search for skin care and face wash.
• Sensitive skin. My skin is so sensitive that changing to a new skin care line is basically a 50-50 chances. 
• Dehydrated. Yes, ever heard of this term before? While my skin is gleaming with oil, I actually have a dehydrated skin.

Now that you learned all the claims that these products gave to the public consumers, I'm going to give my own review after using them for a week. I also planned that I will make another review (in the same thread) a month after I used them. Because we still don't know how will my skin last even a month, or a year with these products! 

My review:

I would like to say that these products don't really hold all my oil, I mean at the end of the day, I still get oily and throughout the day I still have to blot my oil with oil-blotting paper. But there are certain things that I think went better after I use the products. To my own claim, I think:

1. My skin got smoother. It really is! I used to have dry patches on my cheeks and my smile line, also on my forehead (weird, I know!) but after I use these products for a week I couldn't really feel it at all.
2. My skin is glowing as heck, I swear. My mom even told me I looked like a porcelain plate because my skin was glooowing like crazy (in a good way).
3. Usually, after 4 hours of using make up and foundation at most, it will melt down and smear everywhere. Literally, tissue, blotting paper, fabric, you name it. But after using these skin care, it holds pretty much better. At the end of the day I still can tell that my face is covered with foundation and concealer.
4. When I don't use make up at all, I can see that my skin is hydrating so much better. It really glows but I still got oily.
5. After using this product at night, the next morning my skin will be plumpy and it feels like a baby's butt for some reason (lol).

I can also see that my pores are slowly getting better. It's not possible that your skin is as sleek as a paper, you will still have pores. But there are certain ways for you to reduce the size of your pores. Here is how my pores look like after a week:

Overall, I like these products. They don't claim that they will hold all my oil back, so that's why I'm not disappointed at all. But for all the claims that they have, they actually work well on me. Keep in mind that I have a sensitive skin, so to know that there are certain skin care that will work well on me makes me happy. 

But you also have to remember that not all skin will work well just like mine. So you have to know and make sure that these products will work fine on your skin, or you can buy the share in a jar version of them to make sure that you won't spend too much money on products that wouldn't work well with you.
