I won a giveaway from Suzykirei! I had forgotten to try it for a while, so I finally used it. It has a very smooth texture and isn't sticky. It leaves my skin feeling well-moisturized, so it's perfect for using in the morning! The scent is a little herbal, which is nice!
Chant A Charm's new medicated serum! It's slim and the volume is small, but I really like the feel and scent. It's a thick serum, so I use a few drops after applying lotion. The citrus scent is very soothing! It's packed with active ingredients, so I think I can enjoy whitening care even in winter.
I received this as a gift. It's a gentle vitamin C serum that penetrates quickly and is gentle on the skin. The citrus-charged scent is also soothing. The dropper is also easy to use and user-friendly.
It's a slightly yellow liquid. It's a gentle serum that even those with sensitive skin can use. When you apply it to your skin, the slightly thick liquid spreads out. Since Chant A Charm provided it to me, I've become a big fan.
Last year, I used Melano CC lotion, which is supposed to be effective against dark spots, but after the second bottle, my skin started to break out and I discovered that Vitamin C doesn't suit my skin! (Tears) I don't know if it's the high concentration of Vitamin C that's bothering me, or the finer components of Vitamin C that are bothering me. However, when I received this serum and tried it hesitantly, I didn't experience any skin irritation at all, and the thick texture tightened my pores, and I really liked how it felt like it was soaking into my cells! And for me, the lavender-like scent (although it's listed as a citrus scent) helped me forget the fatigue of the day. I've been using it for about a month and a half, and I feel like my skin is firmer, so I think I'll keep using it a little longer♪
