Hi Guys,
Welcome back to the Glistening Lane ✨
In case you aren’t following me on Instagram, you’re losing
out on several updates about skincare, travelling and a lot that you ought to
know about me to find these blog posts relatable. You can check out my profile HERE (if you are interested). 😊😊
A couple of weeks ago, I went on a Thailand trip, along with my
colleagues, and I had a lot of memorable moments. The whole trip was quite
eventful; I was strolling through Walking Street and ended up getting lost
in Pattaya while going back to the hotel. During this trip, there was a moment
when I almost got drowned. And after coming out of that sea, I discovered a new
fascination for tanning that I developed all over my body. 😍 In short, I had a
good time and everything was worth remembering! 😄
Apart from bringing small gifts for friends, family and
acquaintances, I also purchased some skincare products, which I assumed would
fit into my suitcase without any obstacle at the airport. (P.s. I was stopped
at the security check because I accidentally forgot to remove water bottles from
my bag and I had two of them with me. 😅😂) And during my experience at different
markets and 7 Eleven stores, I had two friends who were kind enough to not
judge my fascination towards skincare items. To be honest, one of them knew
about my secret life of a product reviewer while the other had no clue about
it. 🙈
Anyways, let’s begin with my mini
skincare haul. Shall we?
Scentio Pink Collagen
Radiant & Firm - Oil Control Facial Foam Scrub
Facial foam mild
scrubbing with a soft touch for cleansing the skin. The mild scrub bead helps
for soft peeling and reducing oiliness of the skin; the combination of collagen
from starfish that helps soften your skin; tomato that acts as an antioxidant, soften your skin; and 4 types of Hyaluronic acid that help to retain
moisture as well as providing firmness, more elastic and glowing appearance to the skin
and minimizes the pores.
My Experience:
When I recently realized the importance of keeping the pores
clean and gunk-free, I incorporated the Neutogena
Deep Clean Blackhead Eliminating Daily Scrub into my skincare regime. It is
a mild scrub, with very fine scrubbing granules, which foams well and manages
to exfoliate your skin gently. It also leaves your skin squeaky clean as if you’ve
also used a facial cleanser. Although I am not using it on a regular basis but
I make sure to pick this up on the day when I have a face full of makeup.
Since I had a nice experience with that product, I took no
time to pick up the Scentio Pink Collagen
Radiant & Firm - Oil Control Facial Foam Scrub. To be honest, it
performs just like the earlier mentioned product. It lathers well, has few
exfoliating granules and it leaves the skin looking radiant and oil-free without
making it extremely dry. Personally, I am happy that I picked this up! 😁

Jenny Sweet Vit C +
Snail Brightening Skin Serum
Ingredients: Aqua, Niacinamide, Glycerin,
Phenoxyethanol, Polyacrylate, Crosspolymer-11, 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid,
Triethylene Glycol, Butylene Glycol, Centella Asiatica Extract, Allantoin,
Chamomilla Recutita (Matricarai) Flower Extract, Disodium EDTA, Fragrance,
Glycine Soja (Soybean) Seed Extract, Hyalluronic Acid, PEG-40 Hydrogenated
Castor Oil, Snail Secretion Filtrate, Cl 19140, Cl 14720
My Experience:
When I was strolling through the alleys of the beauty store,
I encountered this serum and seeing the ingredient niacinamide, I knew it's
going directly into my cart. Niacinamide in skin care products helps in
regulating oil, reducing inflammation, treating hyperpigmentation and acne, minimizing
the appearance of pores, and protecting against exposure to the sun. In case you
are using a niacinamide-based product for the first time, please note that it
might lead to skin purging, which happens because it increases the skin cell
turnover. So, acne that is embedded deep inside your skin will come to the
surface to completely cleanse the skin. However, this process clears up within 6
to 8 weeks and then you’d see better skin. To know more, you can read this
article here.
Since day 1, Jenny
Sweet Vit C + Snail Brightening Skin Serum has been faring extremely well
on my skin. I follow up this serum after cleansing and toning my skin with Innisfree Bija Trouble Skin Toner. It
makes the skin soft and supple to touch. Last night, I just applied this serum
and today I noticed slight difference in my pustules. Overall, I’m really
enjoying using this serum and secretly hoping that this product does not die up
on me! 🙈🙈
Rating: 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Buy Online: I don’t think I’d rely on ebay for
purchasing products but it is only available HERE.
I was willing to buy more products
but the thought that they might not fit into my luggage and the fear that my
parents will be like “Madam got more
skincare from Thailand, as if Indian brands weren’t enough”. This made me
keep back a lot of things which I now regret not buying. 😂
