My sister got this for me from Hong Kong (it came with a free small spray bottle :D) but it is available in Sasa and Guardian as well! I recently bought another bottle for RM 20.50 from Sasa as it was on promotion :D

I think this is a great toner! It hydrates my skin and is cheap for such a huge bottle! I also use this as a quick 5-minute mask whenever I feel my skin is bad or when I'm too lazy to put a proper mask on my face, haha. 

It has a very light, sweet scent that I personally find pleasant. 1 bottle lasts for ages. When I got bored of using this toner, I used it more frequently as a mask because I get to pour A LOT from the bottle to soak the cottons or mask tablets :D

I usually use this with cotton pads but you can also get a small spray bottle and fill it up with this toner. Spray it on your face and tap it into your skin. No cottons needed, haha. I personally prefer using cotton pads although using a spray bottle is quicker and more convenient especially during travels :)

My skin became more hydrated after using this and I rarely have any pimples. During the hormonal period I get much less pimple than before. My pores are also small. The toner absorbs fairly quickly too. :D 

5-minute mask : After cleansing, soak cotton pads or mask tablets with toner and leave-on face for 5 minutes. Continue with normal skin care routine. Works great with other toners as well :D

☼ absorbs fairly quickly
☼ leaves skin hydrated and soft
☼ very cheap
☼ lasts for a very long time
☼ multi purpose

Review : y.e.t yes! enjoy time Pitapat Eraser Peeling Gel

Hello!

Product Type	Exfoliator
Price	USD 7.73
Size	200 ml

Description (taken from koreadepart)

Directions (taken from koreadepart)

Apply moderate amount all over face and massage gently. When dead skin cells come out, rinse with warm water.

Ingredients

Water, cellulose, dipropylene glycol, butylene glycol, betaine, cetyl ethylhexanoate, phenoxyethanol, glyceryl caprylate, carbomer, arginine, perfume, rose extract, camellia sinensis leaf extract, nelumbium speciosum flower extract, aloe barbadensis leaf extract

Colour	White
Texture	creamy gel
Smell	slightly strong perfumed smell
Stickiness	none (greasy)

I use this product once a week when im hard working, haha. I use this on dry face before cleansing. 1 pump is enough for my entire face. When I use too much, it is difficult for 'dead skin cells' to form. The scent is a bit strong for me but tolerable.

This doesn't feel harsh. However, sometimes when i massage too long or apply too much pressure (i'm not too sure which), it can cause a little pain and stinging sensation.

My skin definitely feels smoother. But, it does feel like there is a thin film of grease on my face. I really dislike that because i'm not sure of my face feels smooth because the exfoliator really works or if it's because of the grease, haha. It doesn't dry out my skin either.

After cleansing, my face feels soft and clean :D I didnt get any bumps either so that's great!

I tried Cure Natural Aqua Gel a few times before and I personally prefer Cure over this exfoliator. It leaves my skin softer and smoother and there is no greasy feeling at all. But it is too expensive for me! T_T   Check out this review :)

☼ does not dry out skin
☼ affordable
☼ smoother and softer skin
☀ scent slightly strong
☀ can be difficult to use when too much is applied
☀ leaves greasy feeling after use

I would not recommend this exfoliator because I think that in terms of effectiveness, some drugstore exfoliators can do a pretty decent job as well as being affordable. But if you are an avid fan of this brand, no harm trying this out either :D

I got this product from Koreadepart because it was the cheapest moisturizer on the website, hahaha. It was USD 4.88 when I bought it but now it is USD 4.13!

I use this as the last step in my skincare routine. 1 full pump is enough to cover my entire face. It isn't sticky, absorbs well and leaves a silky finish which I love. It is quite hydrating and leaves my skin pretty soft. The scent of tea tree is pretty strong but I personally don't mind.

After using this product for a couple of days, I noticed some bumps forming on my forehead. My pores around my nose and cheek area also became enlarged. I have stopped using this since then. Such a shame since I really liked the texture :(

☼ silky finish

☼ absorbs fairly quickly
☼ not sticky
☼ leaves skin hydrated and soft
☼ very cheap
☀ a few bumps formed
☀ pores enlarged
