Fabulous Finds on Amazon Prime...Part 2!

In the latest skincare adventures of Mandy Snail, I have discovered a new product type. In my latest batch of items from the Amazon CrediThink store, I have found a totally new product to me. I also have a new favorite for the cold weather months and a new fighter against tret face. Lets get started!

I have received these three products from the CrediThink Amazon store in exchange for my honest review.

Isntree Clear Skin 8% AHA Essence


This was the product type that I had never heard of. An essence that is also an active-that was what intrigued me. I am used to an active that I apply with a cotton pad like a toner. An essence I pat on that is also a chemical exfoliant was something I had never seen before.

The essence itself was clear and was the consistency of water. The active essence is an 8% AHA  (half lactic acid and half glycolic acid) solution. The instructions say it is safe to use every night unless you have sensitive skin. If you have sensitive skin it is recommended to use 2-3 times a week.

To use, pat on after washing your face and applying toner.

I really liked this product. Currently I use Curology with Tretinoin and Lotion P50-400, so my skin has been quite dry lately. I was afraid I would start peeling and burning if I added something else, so I proceeded with caution. It was actually pretty gentle. My skin was smooth and flake free the next morning.

HOWEVER, I have very tolerant skin. I do not recommend adding all of this to your face if you in any way have sensitive skin, or you are not well versed in chemical exfoliants. Patch test first.


Blossom Jeju 100% Pure Camellia Dry Oil


I can't imagine not being a fan of everything from the Blossom Jeju line. The smell is euphoric and amazing.

The Blossom Jeju 100% Pure Camellia Dry Oil is a light oil that is very moisturizing. The oil quickly absorbs into the skin and is a perfect addition to any regimen. It in no way left my skin feeling greasy. I added the oil just before my cream step. I give it a minute to absorb and seal it in with a good moisturizing cream.

This line is one of my luxury favorites for when I feel like I want to or need to treat myself. I have never been disappointed!





Miguhara Hyalucollagen Moisturizer


Speaking of a good moisturizing cream...The Miguhara Hyalucollagen Moisturizer surprised me. It is in a very unassuming jar that simply states its purpose without fancy graphics and glitter.

The product information claims the cream can provide 100 hours of moisture and is safe for use with sensitive skin. I am not sure how I could accurately test this, but I can tell you that this cream made my skin moisturized and soft in the face of my Curology/Tretinoin prescription. The cream was thick and had no scent, but absorbed well and did not leave my skin greasy. I am tempted to see if it can work magic on my elbows...

Fabulous Finds on Amazon Prime!


One of the things I hate about ordering Asian beauty products is the wait time. The wait time can sometimes be up to a month or more when ordering directly from the shops or companies.


However, there are a few stores that have shop fronts on Amazon. My favorite is CrediThink, a shop that specializes in Korean Beauty Products and has an amazing selection of prestige and drug store brands.  Most if not all of their products are Prime products, so they usually get to you in 2-3 days! Here are some of my recent favorites CrediThink sent me. I was sent these products from CrediThink for free in exchange for my honest review of the products.

Whamisa Organic Flowers Sun Cream

I have found the perfect sunscreen for winter! I was excited about the fermented ingredients in the Whamisa Organic Flowers Sun Cream. I have been doing some interesting research on fermented ingredients lately, they just sounded so sexy! Then I tried the sun cream, and while it was a little heavy for summer, it will be perfect for the harsh Wisconsin winters that are in my future. The Whamisa Sun Cream had an added bonus-it dried with a slightly tacky finish. When I wore it under my makeup, I found that my makeup didn't move around my face as much. The sun cream actually makes a pretty nice primer! The sun cream also does not have much of a scent, which was my main concern. It has a mild earthy smell.


Blossom Jeju Pink Camellia Soombi Blooming Essence Serum

I love love love anything from the Blossom Jeju line. Have you ever smelled anything from this skincare line?!? It smells like heaven and I feel so lux when I use it. You honestly have to smell it for yourself. I have yet to meet anyone who didn’t like the scent. It is light and flowery but not overpowering. This serum smells like the rest of the line...amazing. The serum sunk into my skin so well and it left it plump and my face pampered. This is a prestige line I recommend that everyone tries at least one product from. It can take your routine up a notch and make your time applying skincare a self-care treat.


ICYWHITE Facial Cooling Cosmetic Massage Stick

I love this cooling stick from ICYWHITE! I wish I had this earlier in the summer. It is so refreshing and relaxing. The idea behind the ICYWHITE Facial Cooling Cosmetic Stick is that it will help reduce puffiness, contracts skin and pores, relieves redness and increases circulation. You put the core in the freezer for an hour. When you pull it out, you put it back in its plastic sleeve to keep your hands from getting cold. Smooth around your face in an "up and out" pattern.
I love putting on a sheet mask and using the cooling stick over the sheet mask to help the sheet mask essence absorb. You can also use it after a mask to massage the excess serum left in the packet into your skin. It feels fantastic after a long day at work. The cooling stick stores in this soft little bag it comes with to help keep it clean.  You don’t need to just use it on your face either. It is nice on your whole body to help keep cool.
