One thing you should be reminded of while reading this is that I have Sensitive Skin. A skin so sensitive I can immediately tell if a product would work for me or not by using it only once! I get itchy, rashes will appear and anti-histamine is immediately needed before it's too late.
That is why no matter how viral a product can be on Tiktok or Instagram, I can only use products with ingredients that I know are safe enough to work for my skin. So when I was offered some Skintific products to try, I did research and these 2 products got a good pass when I saw their ingredients list before deciding to put these to test. I mean we sensitive girlies should protect ourselves right?
Skintific's tag line: "We Repair Your Skin Barrier." spoke straight to my heart as the first 2 paragraphs of this blog post have described my skin condition --- weak skin barrier. I have to make sure to use products that does not only hydrate but keep it protected from external aggressors.
This is how my bare skin look after using
Skintific Brightening Moisture Gel
and
5x Ceramide Moisture Gel Review
(Can you tell the difference which side is which?)
Before I share the answer, let me share to you my exact skin condition before testing the product for transparency.
I suffered from eye allergies for the past month so I had to skip using eye creams and first key details about each product that I get to try ended up sleeping without using any skincare products from side effects of medicines (drowsiness!). I noticed how my whole face suffered from my eye condition (which is healing as of writing but you can still see redness on my before photos!)
Prior to testing, my skin looked and felt dry. Putting on makeup was a task because the foundation tends to sink in dry patches and lines and redness occur depending on where my skin felt itchy!
I started testing this out with a patch test at the back of my ear then once passed, I applied each product on half face for the next 2-3 weeks. You shouldn't do it but I did it for you anyways :P
Niacinamide Brightening Moisture Gel with a texture as light as air, absorbs quickly and controls oil within 24 hours.
Formulated with SKINTIFIC's exclusive Novel MSH Niacinamide combined with two of the lightest and most effective lightening ingredients, namely Alpha Arbutin and Tranexamic Acid, which can brighten significantly within 14 days.
MSH Niacinamide is clinically proven to be 10 times more effective than regular niacinamide in reducing hyperpigmentation, reducing redness and improving skin elasticity.
Enriched with Centella Asiatica and 5X Ceramide, it does not cause irritation and provides a calming effect on the skin while repairing and maintaining the skin barrier.
