DARPHIN

Darphin is a French brand that specializes in skincare made from botanical ingredients and essential oils. I got this balm last year when I traveled in Paris. It’s a highly-potent, fast-absorbing balm to fight the look of redness and acne, while instantly increasing brightness, radiance, and luminosity.  I am a skincare junkie so I am very strict on what I apply to my skin. This has great ingredients and helped clear my acne as well as help prevent breakouts from happening. A lot of products tend to tingle and burn on my skin but this one did not give me that horrible sensation. Love it over all !

I have dry-sensitive skin. I think everyone has their own opinion on the best serum. So I hope this review can give you some help when you are choosing the products you need. 1.SKINCEUTICALS - Phyto + Hydrating Botanical Serum With Kojic Acid$87.00 for 30ml I can't find a better serum that reduces acne scar than this one. But this only works for new acne scars. It can reduce those scars, but cannot get rid of them completely. For those old acne scars, you can't really see any effects.  2.SKINCEUTICALS - Hydrating B5 Gel$83.00 for 30ml SkinCeuticals have some simple, but high-performance products. This serum is probably the best hydrating serum you can find in the market. I have used up 4 bottles, and I constantly stock up on. My skin feels really moisturizing when my skin condition is stable. I highly highly recommend it to people who need hydration. Some oily skins are actually very dry inside, so hydration is the most important skincare step everyone should pay attention to. And make sure you use face cream to lock in hydration. I recommend this serum to every skin type.  3.SKINCEUTICALS - C E Ferulic With 15% L-Ascorbic Acid Vitamin C Serum$166.00 for 30ml I didn't feel the magic. I don't think you can see the effects shortly. Anti-aging also takes time. But this actually helps my makeup to last longer. I normally use Shiseido serum with this product. I think it is great for girls over 25. Awesome product! 4. CLARINS - Double Serum Complete Age Control Concentrate $89.00 for 30ml My experience with this product is great. It is a combination of oil and water. It works well for hydration, I can feel the change in my skin. As a dry skin, I am in love with it. It claims that it is good for anti-aging and recovery after staying up late, but I didn't feel any obvious change. Overall, I think it's a pretty good product. You can give it a try. 5.ESTĒE LAUDER - Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Multi-Recovery Complex $72.00 for 30ml An entry-level anti-aging product. But it is not moisturizing enough when I am in a dry place. I need to use SkinCeuticals B5 Gel with it. But it should be fine for other skin types. So to me, it is an okay product, nothing special about it. It helps your skin to maintain its current condition, so it is suitable for people who do not have special skin concerns.  6.SHISEIDO - Ultimune Power Infusing Serum Concentrate$75.00 for 30ml This serum is supposed to be used before any other serums. It boosts the latter absorption. I like to use SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic right after it. It cannot meet my skincare needs by itself. But for girls less than 25, this should be enough. It is great for hydration and maintaining stability. It works surprisingly well with Sheseido's essence serum. 1+1>2! 7.LA MER - LA MER The Concentrate$370.00 for 30ml I used to stay up late a lot. And I got pimples all around my face and my neck, which was disgusting. So I started to use this serum. Within 2-3 weeks, I can see the effects. I have less and less pimples on my face. This is a magical product for recovery! And it works super well for new pimples. It can get rid of the new pimple within 2 to 3 days. Btw, it makes your skin smooth when you use it. But this smoothness doesn't last.  8.DARPHIN - Intral Redness Relief Soothing Serum$90.00 for 30ml This doesn't have any effects at all. Don't buy it. Just Don't. The only way to get rid of redness is medical beauty, so don't waste your money on skincare products.  9.Kiehl's - Midnight Recovery Concentrate$50.00 for 30ml Another product that I don't like. It claims that it has a great recovery effect, but I just can't see it. I don't even know why I bought this. The whitening serum from Kiehl's also didn't work for me. I learned from the beauty assistant that you should use this serum as the last step in your routine. You put 2 drops on your palms. Then you warm it up with your body temperature before you apply it on your face. It smells pretty good, and it's very oily. Have you tried this products before? Let me know 🥰

This product, including this brand, suddenly appeared in front of my eyes, and I suddenly felt that many people around me began to use it. My friend even gave me a set of this product as a gift, but I haven't used it very much. The only product that has been used for about half a month is the most popular serum in Darphin’s brand family, which is also highly recommended by many people. It is named Darphin Intral Serum Apaisant, which is suitable for sensitive skin. The first time I saw this product was in the counter. My friend consulted for nearly half an hour to buy this product. She is acne sensitive skin. Irritation and redness always appear due to facial allergy. She thought this product is effective to her skin after she has run out of one. The brand was originally owned by Sisley and was later acquired by Estee Lauder. Emphasis on natural plant ingredients and pure essential oil formula. Darphin Intral has the highest repurchase rate. Key improvements are to relieve couperose and sensitive skin, including do well in acne. I'll tell you how I feel these 15 days. I'm combination dry skin. Although I don't get pimples now, there are many acne and scars left from the past. Local skin is easy to become red, especially my cheek and both sides of the nose. The texture of this product is liquid, but it is not like thick cream. Skin feeling is very moist, moisturizing degree is similar to the general emulsion. In terms of efficacy, it has improved the redness of the skin, but very slightly. Besides, I feel tingling when I use this product. 
For girls with very sensitive skin, this serum maybe is really effective. But if it's not so sensitive and redness problem is not so serious, it's unnecessary to use it. It values $90 for 1 oz. The price is not friendly. Not bad I mean, but not very match to my skin. DARPHIN - Intral Redness Relief Soothing Serum

After longggggggg and tiring working day, I just wanna lie back and have a break from complicated skincare products. So I usually will shorten my skincare into two steps as my lazy day routine. Cuz these two products all have pinky colours, I call this as “pink routine”. My Skin type: combo/acne-prone skin For me, toner is the must-have step for skincare. So u can’t really save toner even you are lazy! I chooseDARPHIN - Intral Toner with Chamomile, cuz it’s smell is sooo calming - refreshing and natural floral fragrant with a bit sweet fruity. I just feel so relax by using it, so vital for the busy day! And it’s really easy to be spread and not pricy! Strongly recommend, ladies!! Another must-have is facial cream. For me, it’sCLINIQUE - Moisture Surge 72-Hour Auto-Replenishing Hydrator. Like it’s name, it moistures the skin quite well only with a tiny bit! The cute pinky gel-like texture makes it so easy to spread and replenish ur skin without causing acne!!! I can’t ask more for this!!!
