ADVERTISEMENT INFO: SOME PRODUCTS MENTIONED IN THIS POST ARE PR (GIFTED) AND LINKS USED ARE AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE THE BLOGPOST. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   The packaging of the SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Poremizing Light Gel Cream reminds me of a board game my daughter used to love.

PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   I am really fuzzy when it comes to moisturizers, so the elf Pure Skin Moisturizer didn’t have it easy convincing me.

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: SOME PRODUCTS MENTIONED IN THIS POST ARE PR (GIFTED) AND LINKS USED ARE AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE THE BLOGPOST. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   I have seen skincare claim to sooth or calm irritated skin, but never of a product to sedate the skin. The SKIN1004 Probio-Cica Intensive Ampoule though does exactly this.
