I first starting using Thayer's witch hazel when it was in the old packaging. (circa...2010?)
At first I *loved* the new packaging because it's unique and gives that old-timey vintage feel that's totally my thing.
But after using the new packaging, I hate it. The cap ALWAYS breaks at the hinge. And the cute mini travel-sized bottle is not travel-safe. It leaks if it's not upright.

this snail mucin essence really is one of the best ones out there— it's a holy grail. this product was my very first impression of cosrx, and the short ingredient list is very surprising with how effective it is. i've been using it for about a year now, and it's become a staple in my routine. after my first couple weeks of use, a lot of my dark spots disappeared and calmed down my hormonal acne & Show more

This ruined my face! I didn’t know that my dust mite allergy also made me allergic to this. I used it for five months and everything seemed fine, but then I started to get a goatee of fungal acne with big red patches. I’d also been getting a lot of big pimples in my hairline from it. It’s taken me months to understand what happened and to soothe my sad skin. Be warned not to jump off the bridge Show more
