HOW TO USE
I lather the soap between my hands and massage onto my face and neck for 30 seconds before rinsing off
PROS
First of all, I just want to say that this soap smells amazing! Its scent is somewhat floral but very pleasant to the nose. I also love its color being pink and definitely match the theme “Pink+”. The packaging of this product is one of my favorite. It doesn’t only look good but it’s very informative regarding the product housed in it as well. All the details that you need to know about it is all indicated on the box and not to mention that it looks extremely cute! I usually cut my soaps into four pieces but with this, I tried cutting it into nine pieces. Yes, you’ve read it right! 9! And honestly, the soap feels a little less firm which I don’t really mind as it is easier for me to cut and that’s why I was able to cut it into smaller pieces. When I first tried this last April for the two week trial, I thought the soap that was sent to me (small cut of soap) wouldn’t last me for the whole testing period because it wasn’t that hard either which made me think that it will dissolve fast like other soaps with the same texture but surprisingly, it lasted exactly two weeks! It amazed me as it was really small like even half of how I was able to cut this soap now and still didn’t dissolve quickly! I think this one can last me for roughly three weeks each cut. It always makes me look forward to using this because it lathers pretty well and does a great job cleansing my skin. It makes my skin feels so soft, smooth and clean. I noticed that my skin looks tighter making my pores look smaller and most of my dark spots are banished too!

PROS
I would like to start off with its packaging; it also has a box of its own wherein all the information you need and want to know about the product is indicated. The container is a pink plastic spritz bottle with a very simple yet easy to read label with details that is very important to know when it comes to trying new products. What initially caught my eye is that this product is alcohol-free, fragrance-free, hydroquinone-free and mercury-free. Honestly, this is the first time that I’ve tried a toner that doesn’t have any scent. Most of the time, they have scents or that distinct alcoholic smell from Witch Hazel but this doesn’t have any of those which is good for me as I have a very sensitive nose and fragrance added to skincare tends to trigger my sniffles all day long! I love how it deeply cleanses my skin as I would see it on the cotton that I used which makes my skin clear because deep-seated dirt is one of the most common causes of breakouts. Using this together with the soap really made my skin feel and look smoother than ever! Also, it lessened my blackheads on my nose which you all know that I’ve been having this problem for quite some time now. Last but not the least, a little goes a long way with this one because when i used the two-week set, i received a small bottle which has a sticker label with the name of the product and i'm guessing it was more or less 10ml and it lasted me about a month and a half!

PROS
I will never get tired of pointing out how nice the packaging is, I’m madly in love with it! Aside from it being in color pink, it’s very consistent as each product really has all the ingredients and essential details about the product. Not to mention that it’s very pleasing to the eyes. This is the only product in the set that is in a glass bottle with a dropper which is nice at the same very elegant looking. It has no scent at all which is surprising for a serum as all the serums I’ve tried before has at least a little bit of scent added to it but this one doesn’t have any and that’s unique for me and also a good thing as I’ve said before, added fragrances may cause irritations. The consistency is also unique because the typical serum we know is almost like gel-like texture but this has a very interesting consistency as it wasn’t thick nor too watery. Having said that, a little goes a long way with it and it’s actually the perfect consistency to spread evenly and thinly. It’s not sticky and my skin absorbs it in less than a minute, quite fast if you ask me.
CONS
No redness or any allergic reaction were experienced while using this product. It's just that, there are some instances that it felt a little bit itchy on the parts that I have breakouts or normally have breakouts just like with the Glow Tonic Solution.

PROS
You might get tired of it already but I’m still going to admire the packaging of this one. Nice box and the container is cute. This is the only one from the set that I haven't tried from the sample that they gave me and the difference with this is that, even the color of the sunscreen is pink and it smells really nice! I love how it matches the container and the set itself but what amazed me is that when I applied it on my skin, it adapts to my skin tone very well. The consistency is really good and not heavy. It doesn’t leave any white streaks and very easy to spread evenly and thinly. It’s absorbed really fast and a little goes a long way. Most sunscreens make my skin sweat like mad and I feel like it’s clogging my pores or something. In short, it’s a little uncomfortable for me. And that’s the reason why I’m not a fan of sunscreens even though I know I should be wearing it even when I’m indoors. Luckily, this one suits my skin and not only that! It feels so nice on my skin and I don’t if it’s just me but it made my skin look so flawless and glowing. Last but not the least, it has a toning up or brightening effect making my skin look more even and I don't feel the need to apply face makeup.

Not a single con I can find from this product, it’s that perfect for me! :)
OVERALL VERDICT
Honestly, I can tell from the presentation that this set is well thought of when it comes to packaging, labels (although they are not waterproof but very nice), each and every products purpose and how they complimented each other. I’m actually skeptical whenever I try or use a skincare set because I’m scared that it might be too strong for my skin and that’s my common worries since I have a very sensitive skin but unlike any other skincare sets I’ve tried, this one is really effective! It definitely controlled my skin’s oily and dry parts and since it does a great job cleansing my skin plus those anti-pimple components of the products, I didn’t have any breakouts for months now! Without a doubt, the greatest companion in my journey to glass and glowing skin! After testing it for two weeks, I really couldn’t live without it! It makes me look forward to do my skincare routine no matter how tired or sleepy I am and the only skincare set that made me put sunscreen consistently because I really saw awesome results. Coming from someone who doesn't know how to put makeup properly, my only hope is to invest in my skin so that I won't need to put so much on my face and this is best because ever since I used this set, I don't put any face makeup already. Foundation, BB Cream, you name it! With this set, I only need some lipstick / lip and cheek tint and a little fixing on my brows and I'm good to go! The whole set costs P500 / $10 which is really affordable as it lasts for months! And in case you still want to know if I'm going to repurchase this, OF COURSE I WILL! No need for contemplating and it's already a huge YES for that question. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
