Customer photo review of Anua - Azelaic Acid 10 Hyaluron Redness Soothing Serum 30ml

This has COMPLETELY changed my skin! I’m an acne girlie and have struggled with my skin for years, so I honestly didn’t expect such a difference. Since adding this into my routine, all those little bumps have cleared, my skin feels so much smoother, and I haven’t had a breakout in ages! I started with the mini size to trial it as the skin scanner recommended it. Now it’s genuinely the most important step in my skincare routine. I couldn’t be without it!

Customer photo review of Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream 50ml

Enjoying all the skincare! Love love love the Dr. Althea 345 Relief cream. So hydrating but won’t clog my acne prone skin! The Anua Azelaic Acid is a game changer! Literally my red acne spots are so much less noticeable in the morning! Also the Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence is perfect for winter months when my skin is craving some hydration and barrier love!

Customer photo review of Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence

Founder review: Before starting True Essentials, I struggled with acne for years and spent a lot of money trying products that didn’t work for my skin. Learning about Korean skincare, focusing on hydration and skin barrier health, and building a consistent routine completely changed my approach to skincare. The products I stock are products I genuinely use and believe in.

Customer photo review of Medicube Collagen Jelly Cream 110ml

I’ve recently added the Medicube Collagen Jelly Cream to my evening skincare routine and I’m honestly obsessed. My skin feels so hydrated and smooth, and I wake up with such a healthy glow. It sits beautifully on the skin and has made my complexion look so much fresher. Definitely a new staple in my routine! Also super impressed with my next day delivery, great service!

Customer photo review of d'Alba Piedmont Waterfull Tone-Up Sun Cream SPF50+

This is the first sunscreen I’ve ever used that I actually love. It smells amazing, feels super hydrating, and gives your skin such a nice glow without leaving a white cast. I have acne-prone skin and it hasn’t caused me any breakouts or irritation at all. It’s tinted but blends in really nicely and colour corrects your skin while making it look glowy and healthy. It also sits perfectly under makeup. I’ve used it both when I’m pale and when I’ve fake tanned and it blends well with both.

Customer photo review of Medicube Zero Pore Pad 2.0 - 70pcs

Amazing products! So happy with all my purchases. Kelly has been so amazing and advised me of what I should try and she was absolutely bang on. Seeing Kelly’s results and now experiencing these products for myself I can confirm how fabulous they are! Love the large size jars too, total value for money. The cleanser is so lovely, the wipes are amazing and made my skin feel so clean. The collagen jelly cream is epic and made my skin feel so glowy and hydrated. Thank you for my fantastic new glow! Would highly recommend to all. Thank you Kelly from one very happy customer xxx

Medicube Zero Pore Pad 2.0 - 70pcs

I do like the effect these give but they are slippery and tend to slip down from under the eyes and end up on my cheeks which isnt soo bad but I have been laying down with them on instead to stop them from slipping
