The Way I Used It:

I used this serum before moisturizer or any other serum and after toner or essence. I love to use this serum in the morning because I personally think it boost my other skincare and brighten my skin.

I also use this at night, but not as much as I use in the morning.

One or two pumps are enough. Three pumps would be a little too much. So you actually can saves a lot of this product if you are a student. If you have small face, one pump is definitely enough.

If you have big face like mine and I also love to put it on my neck, it's definitely two pumps.

The Packaging, Scent, & Texture:

This new packaging serum comes in a cute pump bottle and beautiful pastel yellow and white. I love this look so much! It looks so pretty and I enjoy taking pictures of this product for my content!

There is no fragrance in this serum which I love.

The serum texture is light gel and transparent, not sticky at all. it absorbs fast and well on my skin.

I love the texture so much, and because the texture is light, it's one of the reason why I love to use this in the morning because it doesn't feel heavy at all on my skin.

My Thoughts On The Result:

This hands down is one of MY FAVOURITE BRIGHTENING SERUM from local brand.

IT IS THAT GOOD SIS!

I love the previous version of this serum, but now that I tried on the new upgraded version, I totally am in love with this serum, no doubt.

The first thing I notice is it hydrates my skin really well even though if I only used one pump. And then I can see it brighten my skin just like if I'm using a brightening sheetmask.

This serum has two kind of results. The immediate one and also the long term result.

If I need a quick fix and to brighten up my skin fast, I use this and reapply it if I need to.

It gives my skin a booster and glowing effect. It is also soothing to my skin.

For the long term result, I can see that it fades my scars after a few weeks of continuously using this serum. My skin tone improved, and I can see it's easy to apply other skincare because this serum works like a booster.

I totally love this serum, and I wish it will come in a bigger bottle in future. Because I just need this in my stash all the time. 

Kudos to Yello Skincare for making the best brightening serum. It works really good.

I have so much love for this serum.

Rating: 10/10

Thank you so much Yello Skincare for sending me this awesome serum

The Way I Used It

I love to use this both day and night but at night it really helps me to boost my skin on the next day.

I usually use 4 to 6 drops and tap it to my skin.

Sometimes, I love to use my essence before my toner, so with this essence I also love to use before my toner. I think on my skin, essence works well when I put them immediately after cleansing.

But also maybe it depends on the texture of the product itself.

The Packaging, Scent & Texture

The essence came in a huge bottle, it is 210ml. I love the nice minimal packaging of the essence. It looks aesthetic as well in my opinion. It really easy to grip the bottle.

The texture is watery and light, I love this type of texture in essence. It easy and fast to absorbs on skin.

It has a very very light citrusy scent, actually its hard to notice it unless you really smell the essence.

My Thoughts On The Result

I LOVE THIS ESSENCE!

Yes that's definitely me screaming because I do love this essence! hahaha

But to put this in a nice way, my skin has always love galactomyces, I think the first time I tried galactomyces was in 2017, and it just works so fine with me. And I definitely have no doubts on this essence truthfully.

This essence hydrates my skin, give me the glow, brighten up my skin, and soothes my skin.

When I first started to use this essence, my skin wasn't in good condition. And my skin just love this because it calms my irritated skin, it hydrates my dehydrated skin, and it soothes my redness.

I know I keep on praising this, but maybe my skin just love this y'know.

Though I was paid for IG review, this review here on my website is not a paid one, and yet I still love it and keep on praising it.

I always know galactomyces and my skin are best friend, but this essence is just on another level for my skin.

This essence is definitely gonna be on top of my essence list from now on.

Rating: 10/10 (I love it what can I do)

I super love this moisturizer before, and now that I put this into my routine again, I still love it! Definitely a moisturizer that I highly recommended if you don't have any allergic to the ingredients mentioned above.

This is one of the best gel moisturizer I ever tried.

I still remember that I didn't have any expectation about this moisturizer before, and this cream definitely gave me a huge wonderful surprised.

It soothes, calms, hydrates, and make my skin glow too. My skin loves it. It feels fresh and cooling too.

It didn't breaks me out, when I had acne, it helps to calms it down a bit faster. 

I really don't have anything bad to say about this moisturizer, a perfect moisturizer for someone who have oily skin like mine.

The Way I Used It
I used it both day and night, but if my skin is okay, I wear this only at night.
One or two pumps are enough for me.
Because this serum is thick, I used this right before moisturizer, and if I have other serums that I used with this one, this GBR will be the last serum I wore between the serums.

The Packaging, Scent, & Texture

This GBR came in a cute glass pump bottle, the packaging is simple, minimal, with green and white and a little black font on the bottle. The packaging though simple, but it gives off the luxurious feeling. The pump in this serum is sleek and easy to pump it.
It has no fragrance, but it has that Tamanu smell (i think). Honestly, I'm not really a fan of this serum. But the scent doesn't lingers, so I'm okay with it though I admit it was hard at first to adjust with the smell.
The serum is in light green mint colour, it is so pretty! I love this serum colour, Somehow, it makes me feel calm just looking at the colour.
The texture is thick cream like, at first I did feel it was a bit heavy for my skin, at that time my skin was well hydrated and hadn't had any problem. But when my skin had problem and dehydrated, my skin loves the thickness of this serum, it sits well on my skin, and I feel like it protects and repairs my skin.

My Thoughts On The Result

When I first tried it on, I did not immediately love it, because at that time my skin was fine and had no problem, so this one felt a bit heavy. I tried for a week, and my skin adjusted with the serum, but I didn't see any result yet.
I stopped for awhile.
And when my skin started to feel dehydrated and problematic, THIS SERUM IS MY SAVIOUR!

Love how this serum help my skin improvement.

This serum helps to hydrate and moisturize at the same time, soothed my irritated skin, and my skin felt firm and supple after continuosly using this. I can feel that it repaired my skin well!

For me, this serum is really a good treatment serum when my skin had problems.

I do really enjoy using this!

Rating: 4.7/5
