Madeca Derma Quick Review

 Just wanted do a quick overview and a one-sentence review of the three Madeca Derma products that were sent to me by StyleKorean as part of their Try Me Review Me campaign. 

Go to my previous posts for a full review of each! ☘️

All of these products have a slight herbal, ginseng smell to them which I find really calming. They also contain Niacinamide, Centella Asiatica, and Madecassic Acid which is great for soothing the skin. 🌿

🌴 Revitalizing Sheet Mask: Comes in a pack of 10, super comfortable, not dripping in essence and fits nicely.

💚 Revitalizing Serum: Pretty thick, a little tacky, but doesn't really bother me.

🍃 Revitalizing Cream: Again, pretty thick but comes in a convenient tube packaging.

Thank you again Madeca Derma, Centellian 24, and StyleKorean for letting me try these out and review them! 🤗

If you want to try these, StyleKorean is currently having a $39.99 sale for this same set! (originally $89.50)! 
I don't earn anything, just want to share this amazing deal!

On with the review! 🧐

This is quite a rich and creamy moisturiser. It's thickkkk and definitely hydrating! I would say it's more for normal to dry skin. It might even be beneficial for eczema prone skin because of the calming ingredients (Centella Asiatica, Madecassic Acid). I probably wouldn't recommend it for combination or oily skin types as it might feel too heavy, as having pily/combo skin, it felt a little too thick for me, so I kind of just use this as a hand cream since I have really dry hands. Aside from that, I do use this sometimes when my skin is feeling a bit dull and needs some extra hydration.

As for the ingredients, like the other two products, fragrance isn't listed but there are fragrant oils so that may be something to keep in mind. It does have a form of madecassoside as well as centella asiatica, which are both known to calm and soothe the skin. This also has a slight ginseng, herbal smell like the other two, but I'd say it's the least fragrant of the three.

I do like that it's in a tube instead of a jar, which makes it a lot easier and more hygienic to use. I could see myself using this if I'm lazy and don't feel like doing my full routine of essences and serums, which I've actually done in the past.

That does it with my take on these products! Thank you again to StyleKorean & Madeca Derma/Centellian 24 for sending these over for me to try and review! 😊

I really like this serum! It has a very subtle ginseng-like, herbal smell to it. It's not as pungent as the sheet masks were, but it's definitely there. I also find very calming because of its soothing ingredients.

I might reach for this more if it weren't so hot and humid nowadays. I tested it for about two weeks before it started getting super hot here and I felt it was a bit too heavy on my oily skin. My skin did feel replenished and a lot plumper after using this alone, although I did layer this on top of my other more watery serums sometimes too. I still do use this a couple times a week on days where my skin feels like it could use a little boost of hydration. It's more on the thicker side, so I definitely see myself reaching for it more in the winter. It absorbed really quickly into the skin even with its slightly creamier texture. It also felt a little tacky, but because I'm using moisturiser after this, it didn't really bother me. This might work great for normal or dry skin, but is a little too heavy for everyday use for me.

Although it doesn't have fragrance listed, it does have some fragrant oils listed which may be something to consider if you have sensitive skin or are sensitive to essential oils.

Now onto the actual review!

I really enjoyed using this sheet mask even though there was a slight herbally, ginseng-like scent to it. This comes in a pack of 10 sheet masks. This was really easy to fold out and figure out which side was which. I always struggle to open up some actual sheet masks and end up with my arms covered in essence sometimes but wasn't the case here! Speaking of essence, there surprisingly wasn't a lot left inside the packet after I took the mask out which was pretty cool since the actual sheet absorbed most of it! It's also suuuper comfortable and fit really nicely on my face. I have a pretty small face and struggle to find sheet masks that don't have a huge flap hanging out 😂 Wasn't the case here! It's also really soft because it is made of pure cotton. It felt so nice and soothing on my skin and I almost didn't want to take it off! My skin definitely felt a lot more plump and hydrated afterwards!

But good things also come to an end 😕 Two important things to note are that denatured alcohol is the sixth ingredient and even though (synthetic) fragrance isn't listed, there are some fragrant ingredients in it. These didn't really irritate my skin too much, but it may be an issue with those with sensitive skin.
