Never have I felt this obsessed with a brand even way before trying their products. Do you know when you sometimes have a gut feeling that the product will be phenomenal even before you try it? Can you relate to this? Well, for me that “sixth sense” gut feeling was with the iUNIK products. I was already obsessing with the brand before my purchase and I somehow already knew that their products would wow me. Discovering iUNIK is already a favorite highlight for this year. What a way to start the year!
I have been eyeing iUNIK products for quite a while now. Like most of you, serums are my favorite part of the skincare routine (especially serums that come in dropper bottles) and I am always layering different serums that boost each other’s effects into my regime. When I saw iUNIK’s line of serums, I instantly fell in love with them and decided to purchase a few of their serums.
What I like about iUNIK is its simplicity in using natural ingredients that are not only effective but also skin-friendly. They come in elegant esthetic looking bottle packaging, are a cruelty-free brand and they come in super affordable prices which for me is like the icing on the cake. I already feel iNUIK is going to be added to my favorite brand list.
The first serum I decided to try was their Tea Tree Relief Serum. This claims to be a gentle but powerful purifying serum that is targeted for acne-prone, sensitive skin. Along with providing powerful relief, this also helps in soothing, brightening, moisturizing and wrinkle care.
It contains 67% Tea Tree Leaf Water (listed as the first ingredient) which is widely known for its anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial properties and is a great source for purifying & calming the skin. This also has Centella Asiatica leaf water (19.5%) and Centella Asiatica extract which are powerful ingredients for soothing, healing and calming. Double soothing benefits! iUNIK was seriously not kidding when they said their ingredients are natural-based because this serum is also patented with the nutrients from six different sprouts (Broccoli, Cabbage, Radish, Alfalfa, Rapeseed, Wheat Germ) that help in providing abundant moisture and nutrition to the skin. Other notable ingredients in this are Niacinamide(brightening), Beta-glucan (great skin soother & moisturizer) and adenosine (skin conditioning). The color of this serum is a natural green color that is free of synthetic dyes. The size of this bottle is a generous 50ml serum which I think will last for a good 3 months.
How I am using it?
I have been using this regularly in both my AM and PM routine and I feel it has been helping my skin stay calm and clean. The texture of this serum is slightly runny with low viscosity and has a very mild natural scent. Absorbs quickly with no tackiness. This does have a tad bit of a brightening effect but it is too early to comment on the wrinkle improvements. I hope this will also work in controlling my hormonal breakouts. Fingers crossed!
For oily skin, I think this serum alone will be enough as it is very lightweight. But if you have dry, dehydrated skin like me, using this alone may not be that moisturizing. But since I am always layering my serums, I don’t find this a problem. Also, I think this will be so perfect for the hot and humid summer days in Tokyo.
In Conclusion
The combination of Tea Tree Leaf water and Centella Asiatica Extract makes this a truly dual-functional serum that provides soothing and calming effects to help relieve sensitive skin.
So far, I am already loving iUNIK products. They remind me so much of my favorite brand I’m From. I guess because they share the same simplicity in their ingredients and packaging.
