NEAR AND DEAR x KEENONIKS

Today's reviews are sponsored by Near And Dear, they have kindly send over these products by Keenoniks, a korean skincare brand that I have only recently learned about, in exchange for a review. 

The packaging for this brand is quite minimalist, with an overall white colour scheme. Despite that I find them very eye catching, especially with the Rosy Tone-up sunmilk, the sturdy packaging is another plus as well, a little different than the usual squeeze tube packaging for sunscreen.

This is a peachy shade sunmilk that helps to tone-up dull looking skin. The overall effect looks quite natural on my skin and it doesn't leave a noticeable white cast. 

There's an almost perfumy scent to it, a soft powdery, floral scent that smells pleasing to my nose but might not be everyone's cup of tea. It has a runny texture that blends well into skin, very lightweight on skin, though there's a slight filmy feel to it before it fully dries down matte on my combi skin. 

I love the silky smooth, rosey toning effect it has on my skin, which looks much more natural as it gives a mild pinkish, blush-like effect on skin instead of leaving a noticeable white cast. Perfect on it's own and great as a base makeup as well!

𝑷𝒂𝒄𝒌𝒂𝒈𝒊𝒏𝒈 :

70 pads (150ml) in plastic tub packaging

𝑷𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒆 : 

RM74.80

This has a green, herbal-like scent to it, very soothing on skin and it gives instant cooling, hydrating effect on my combi skin. There's an embossed side for mild exfoliation which helps to remove excess sebum and exfoliate dead skin cells. 

Exfoliation is quite mild though, which is perfect for those with sensitive skin but a little too gentle on my resilient skin type. However I don't really mind as I love using the smooth side for an instant soothing, cooling effect. The toner pads are all soaked filled with essence and best of all it doesn't feel sticky at all.

Overall this is a must try for toner pads lovers, wish it comes with a tweezer though so it'll be easier to pull out those toner pads 😁

The texture of this face moisturizer is super creamy, very moisturizing and nourishing on skin. It doesn't feel heavy nor sticky at all, though I still avoid applying this on my T-zone as I have combi skin. So far it hasn't caused any breakouts on my skin and applying this at night works great in keeping my skin well moisturized, as it made me wake up with well hydrated, smooth skin in the morning. It's perfect as a neck cream as well!
