It is from Kayman!
A reliable local skincare brand that I trust, works like a charm, avoids any fragrances and alcohol in its products, and doesn't test on animals.
Anyway, this is not sponsored. I am not being paid whatsoever. I just happen to have some definite favourites from Kayman that I know I would never stray too far away from. I have been using and repurchasing from Kayman for the past 2.5 years and that speaks volume! Trust me, I can easily track my shopping habit.
The products I will be mentioning are brightening essence, serum, moisturizer, and a low-pH gel cleanser. These products are always on my vanity because they really work. These are not the be-all and end-all by any means but they maintain my easily-broken-out skin to be in its best state (especially the serum!!)
Another disclaimer for my Malaysian readers: I am coming from a good place. If any of these products did not suit your skin and you hate it, that's okay. Please note that everyone's skin is different. I personally never had an issue with Kayman skincare and I am trying to not offend anyone with my words.
Low-pH Gel Cleanser: Kayman Coalberry Cleanser
At the beginning of trying this product, I wasn't really amazed because it's just a cleanser you can wash it off but I notice that when I am using another cleanser to switch things up, my skin starts to misbehave. I guess the low-pH tag matters the most for my skin type when it comes to cleansers.
The texture is a lightweight gel and is formulated with activated charcoal, honey extract, and 10 different berry extracts. I would say a lot of skin types will enjoy this because it will cleanse thoroughly without leaving the skin feeling tight or dry.
I always have to have a perfect first step for my skincare routine because I want to get it right from the get-go. I live by the saying that goes: "Your cleanser can make or break your skincare routine".
Brightening Essence: Kayman Rosa Glow Treatment Essence
As the name says, it's a treatment essence so this is not a regular hydrating toner/essence. It is perfect for gals like me that have plenty of post-acne hyperpigmentation because it contains 2% of Alpha Arbutin that excels in any PIH work and brightens the overall complexion.
It has a very watery consistency. Very minimal ingredients - no alcohol, no fragrance and is only focused on the ones our skin really needs and it works.
It almost pains me to always use this because it's the most expensive in the bunch but it really does the job. All of my darker scars fade in like two weeks and my complexion is better day by day but why do you have to be RM89 a bottle?
Soothing Serum: Kayman Skintella Repairing Serum
I feel like I don't give her enough credit. I don't talk about it often on this blog. Actually, I don't talk about any of these products often at all. Lol! Sometimes I just like to keep things lowkey but anyway, this is my holy grail.
I use this daily and always have backups ready. I go through so many bottles of this little baby! It has helped tremendous amounts with my acne-prone skin and totally changed how it looks. I put my trust in this serum when I am having that unexpected acne.
Texture: a thicker gel consistency but it absorbs immediately. It makes my skin glows and hydrated. I love the fact that Centella Asiatica extract is high up on the ingredients list because my skin loves that!
It calms my angry skin, repairs my moisture barrier, and improves my overall skin health. I think this is my standout favourite from Kayman. You can't go wrong with it.
Moisturizer: Kayman Skintella Moisturizing Gel
My newest fav is their new baby: Skintella Moisturizing Gel, which I got to try before they officially released it to the public. What an honour! I am one to use a gel moisturizer for night and day since I have oily skin so anything that says 'gel' on it, I am sold.
The texture is so interesting! It's a lightweight cream-to-gel texture. It absorbs in a blink of an eye and it has a fresh, cooling sensation that I think two pumps of this moisturizer are not enough for me. I want more.
The formulation is just top-notch for a local brand. I mean, Ceramide, Beta Glucan, and Squalane in a bottle? Sign me up. I am still so impressed every time I am applying it to my skin. At this point, I have completely ditched my favourite Neutrogena moisturizer which has served me well.

Do you have a local product that you will always be repurchasing?
I used to absolutely LOVE Kayman brightening essence. It really did its job and till this day, I would still recommend my friends to try it for themselves. But yes, the price tag is something else but I think it's worth the results that you get. I really hope they'll branch out to cater to normal-dry skin types bcs the ingredients in their existing products are amazing. It's a really good local skincare brand.
ReplyDeleteRGTE doesn't get enough credit y'know people keep talking about coalface etc but RGTE is really that sh*t. I'm so impressed with what it does to my complexion.

I went back to this post to check out the products and get more info about it. But man, they are expensive for a local brand! hahaha but if it does the job then.. we can't complain but for a cleanser, I might stick to Pyung Kang Yul for now cos it's so expensive haha
ReplyDeleteThe Zirbenholzkissen from Bio Allgäu helps me sleep so much better with its soothing pine scent.
