What's in My Shelf, Day 8

 

What's up grils! I wanted to share a roundup of all the skincare I’ve been using the past couple of months. I picked these up at the end of March so it’s been just over two months of consistent testing. Since I love writing quick reviews, I'm gonna show one item every day. 

 

About Me

Skin type : Combo leaning dry

Skin concerns : Sensitivity, acne-prone, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and large pores

Climate : Mildly humid spring weather, nothing too extreme

Quick note : All of these products are fragrance and essential oil free. If I mention a scent, I’m referring to the natural scent that sometimes comes with unscented formulas.

 

So, Today I'm gonna talk about By Wishtrend Vitamin A-mazing Bakuchiol Night Cream.

 

 

 

Rating : 5/5 Would Repurchase, Holy Grail

 

This is one of those rare cases where a product actually lives up to its name because this cream truly is amazing. It’s my first time trying a retinol-based product, and I was a little nervous at first. I’ve started to notice some fine lines popping up, and I wanted something gentle to ease into the world of retinoids. I saw a video of Sorn trying this out as she also has sensitive skin, and since she had a great experience with it, I figured it was worth a shot.

 

The cream itself is thick, rich, and has a yellow tint. It’s super emollient, so it glides on beautifully and makes my skin feel instantly smooth and nourished. Even better, it’s not drying at all, in fact, I find it quite soothing. I use it after my serum step and before moisturizer, and the results have been so satisfying: my skin looks firmer, brighter, and my pores and breakouts have noticeably improved. I’ve been waking up with a more refreshed, youthful look, which makes this a total win in my book.

 

There is a slight medicinal scent, but it’s very mild and fades quickly. It is a bit of a splurge, so I use it every other night but honestly, I don’t even feel tempted to try other retinol products because this one just works so well for me.

If you’re new to retinol or just want something effective but gentle, I can’t recommend this enough.

 

Here is my last day-shelf! Don't miss out!

    Does anyone know how this compares to the Beauty of Joseon Retinal Serum? I’m a student so I can’t really afford both right now 😭

    Wait, this is bakuchiol and retinal in one?
    I’ve seen bakuchiol everywhere as a “natural alternative,” but I didn’t realize Wishtrend combined it with retinal. That’s a pretty bold formulation choice. Curious if anyone with fungal acne has tried this? That shea butter base gives me pause, but the results sound amazing.

    Totally get how you feel. Shea butter part, I was same as you are but actually that was nothing to worry since it didn't bother me at all and actually worked on my acne too although the original purpose of getting this was barely about acne.
