Red Bean Refreshing Pore Mask
Congested pores? Away with them. The key ingredient in this moist, Kaolin clay mask is 30% Haenam red bean extract. TL;DR The rich saponin in red beans helps suck up excess sebum and gently exfoliate your skin. True to its name, the Red Bean Refreshing Pore Mask also provides a cooling sensation upon contact.
Revive Eye Serum
Ginseng is bursting with anti-inflammatory properties which is ideal if you deal with puffiness. “I love the ultra-nourishing and soothing formula with the added (gentle) kick of retinal,” cosmetic chemist Ramón Pagán. As a refresher, retinal “only requires a one-step conversion to the active form of retinoid acid, unlike retinol which requires a two-step conversion,” board-certified dermatologist Hee Jin Koh, MD, a board-certified dermatologist based in New Jersey, explains. In other words, it’s more effective and less irritating.

Lip&Cheek Blurry Pudding Pot
Chances are you’ve seen these cute pots all over your FYP. The Lip&Cheek Blurry Pudding Pot packs a real punch of color despite its very small container, so take my word and start with a tiny dab before building it up. If you’re into a blurred, soft-matte look, this one’s for you.
3D Voluming Gloss
What’s cool about Fwee’s 3D Voluming Glosses is each color’s available in two variations: 30% for a more subtle wash and 70% for richer pigmentation (like Candy 70% shown above). You also get an unbelievably juicy finish, which is enough for me and my dry lips to say yes, too. There’s vitamin E and a boatload of oils (apricot, primrose, jojoba, and more) for long-lasting-asheck moisture.

A intensely nourishing blend of oils (argan, olive, coconut, apricot, marula, jojoba, and camellia) helps smooth frizz, lock in moisture, and protect hair from heat styling without (somehow!) feeling greasy—seriously, I don’t know how.

Dr. Groot’s Scalp Relief Tonic imparts a cooling sensation as you spritz it on via menthol, bringing instant relief to that area,” shares former Allure editor Devon Abelman. “It dries down fast without any residual greasiness—just a spa-like lemongr
