REVIEW: KRAVE BEAUTY OAT SO SIMPLE WATER CREAM

This is going to be a simple review, just because this moisturizer is that simple.

Simple ingredients’ list, simple packaging, and simple intended customers. Basically, those who want to simply moisturize without worrying that it’ll break you out or irritate you further. And the best part, it is safe for Fungal Acne! (Finally, a Krave Beauty product that’s safe for FA).

It fits right in to my current 3 Steps Moisture Method craze (thanks to Olena Beley who commented to my IG video earlier this month). Read here if you missed my post about Olena’s tips.

I use this as the final step of my hydrating steps, because it does contain Capric Triglyceride and Squalane, the perfect emollients to seal all in. And being on Adapalene journey, my skin also needs soothing moisturizer, so this just completes me, by having Oatmeal Extract as one of the ingredient. Yes, I also mix this with EVALEN Adapalene Krim 0.1% to reduce the concentration and lessen the risk of Adapalene’s side effects. And this moisturizer helped me a lot during my Adapalene’s nights (so far I’m only at week 1, but I’ll write about the journey soon).

Look at its’ luscious white and milky texture. It has no scent, and it just glides softly when applied. It also mix wonderfully with almost everything that I applied before it (actives, hydrating toner, humectant). It melts right away in contact with the skin, and absorb really well without leaving any film or dewy look.

It’s silicone free, gluten free, fragrance free and essentials oil free. For me personally, there are only two misses for this moisturizer, it still contains Butylene Glycol which has comedogenic rating (luckily it didn’t trigger mine). And the jar packaging. Being a practical girl, I don’t really dig plastic jar. It took a while for me to finally close the lid properly. I wish it comes in pump packaging instead.

REVIEW: KRAVE BEAUTY KALELALUYAHA

I wish I’d listen to my skin earlier, instead of keep ‘abusing’ it with layers of makeup. Lately, if you follow my instagram (@shintarosvita), you will see I purchased lots of skincare products (mostly Koreans). My skincare products grow gradually, since I found out that most of them actually worked like a charm on my fungal acne, oily and super sensitive skin.

Then, this caught my eyes. I’ve been watching Liah Yoo’s YT quite extensively, and she launched this brand Krave Beauty. Thankfully, Indonesia is like heaven for online stores on instagram, so I can purchased this easily here. I decided to buy this first instead of the cleanser, based on priority (just because I still have lots of cleansers in my drawer). But I definitely will purchase her cleanser as well.

What the heck is this Kalelaluyaha?
It is a skin resurfacing exfoliator that kicks your dead skin cells to the curb, revealing youthful, healthier skin while also feeding it delicious antioxidants from dark, leafy greens. (from the website). My thoughts: Kalelaluyaha is a name from its’ ingredients:  kale, lalu (from sodium hyaluronate I guess?), and yaha (is from AHA, I guess!).

Scent & Texture
Very watery like toner and has no scent.

How to use?
Well, they recommended to use 2-3 times a week before bed. But I use it two times a week with days in between. Soak a cotton pad and swipe over clean, dry face (after water cleanser at PM). Then, I usually wait until it absorbed well (about 5 mins) and continue with my hydrating toner etc.

After-feeling
First time of using this, I saw my skin getting pinkish with a tingling (not burning) sensation. Maybe it’s the AHA in the ingredients started to kick in. But after that first time, no more pinkish and no more tingling. Just a clean, clear-glass looking skin. I also noticed that it improved my skin texture (as I still have some fungal acne on my forehead). Best thing, unlike scrub, this didn’t make my skin dry.

I’VE MET LIAH YOO IN PERSON (WOOHOO!!!)
Thanks to Female Daily Network, I’ve met her three times during the JakartaXBeauty 2018 event last week. Of course, she didn’t wear foundation and if you asked me how does her skin look like in person, I’d say “GLOWING & PORELESS”. Best part, I’ve prepared the box to be signed by her, although she spelled my name ‘Shinda’. LOL.
