As a fan to Korean skincare I’m so excited when been selected to try Soondy Centella Asiatica Essence from Mixsoon. So I do some research turns out that Centella Asiatica has been used in folk medicine for hundreds of years. It traditionally used to improve small wounds, burns and scratches and it’s also known as as anti-inflammatory agent for eczema.
What it does:
☘️Soothing
☘️Antioxidant
☘️Moisturizer/humectant
My Experience
This was my first time using the product from Mixsoon. I love the cute bottle and I just found out that this is a limited edition bottle. How lucky am I! I kinda curious about the smell turns out it have very mild woody/musk smell and it will fade by itself the moment the product sink into your skin. It do not sticky and hydrate well for my skin. Or I shall consider it as a toner more than an essence? Hahaha, but because of its lightweight consistency, this works well for both morning & night skincare routine.
Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐
[Review] One Thing Artemisia Capillaris Extract & Houttuynia Cordota Extract
By anakdenesor - Januari 20, 2022
ONE THING Toner- Review ꘡I'm a skincare fan. It all started when I had hormonal acne in December 2020. Having zits will effecting your confidence level. I would not want that. To prevent my acne from getting worse, I have been researching about acne, knowing ingredients in my skincare to heal my skin. Recently one K-Beauty brand in the market has caught my attention which is ONE THING.
ABOUT THE BRAND
Made in Korea. ONE THING eliminates unnecessary costs in their products and offers only one key ingredient for each of their products. It is 100% plant-based,cruelty-free and fragrance-free. ONE THING supports consumers' right to know and aims to make reasonable consumption.
ONE THING – Houttuynia Cordota Extract
Extracted from Houttuynia Cordata, it has been found to exhibit anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties.The product claims can help us in :
- Repairs and rebuilds sensitive tissue
- Nourishes and leaves the skin satiny soft
- Antimicrobial function to calm skin troubles
Expiration date 2 years from the date of manufacture (recommended for use within 6 months after opening)
Reduce Blackhead | Trouble Pores Care | Scalp Care
They are few ways how to use this product.
METHOD 1: Exclusive Usage As the first step of skincare, apply the extract to the cotton pad and moisture your skin or Put it in the mist container and spray them from time to time
METHOD 2: Compound Usage: Use your DIY cosmetics
1. Combine 5-10% or more into used cosmetics (Skin, Lotion, Cream, etc).
2. Combine two or more extracts (Example: Injin mugwort Extract 80% + Centella Extract 20%)
METHOD 3: Utilize as a Pack Apply A large amount of extract to the cotton pad and put them on like a pack, on the part that needs intensive care (Forehead, Cheeks, Chin, etc) for 5-10 minutes
Usually, I would transfer the toner into a small spray bottle, then put it in the fridge. Whenever I need it, I will spray it on my face. You can feel the cooling sensation on your face. What I like about this product is the size of it. This large bottle (300ml) comes with a twistable cap that makes it easy to control the liquid.
Texture
The colour of this toner is dark brown and a bit watery as you can see at picture above, but once it touches the skin, it provides a decent amount of hydration for my skin. I have a combination oily skin. Surprisingly it doesn't dry the skin out.
Scent
It got a strong smell, like a green tea or tea leaves. Even though it has a strong smell but when you put it on your palm, the smells won't long lasting. I know some of you might want to reconsider about the smells but for me, I love it!
Extracted from Gangwha-do Artemisia caillaris that will leave healthy skin and give a soothing effect. Perhaps not many of you that familiar with the name of Artemisia. Artemisia is also known as Mugwort. A well-known product that is good in fighting the inflammation of the skin. With the natural ingredients only and without any paraben and Phenoxyethanol added, the product maintains firm and glowing skin by controlling the overall balance and providing moisturization and nutrition.
Benefits
- Fortifies the skin, reduces sensitivity, diminishes redness
- Purify the toxins from the skin and help to manage dark spots, freckles, and scars.
- Rich in vitamins A, C, niacin, and various minerals which help to improve skin tone and strengthen cell function.
Texture
Similar to the Houttuynia Cordota extract, this toner consists of a brownish colour and feels a bit watery, but if I use it too much feels like it drying my skin. So I am always careful when using this toner, I Don't want my skin to become dry then it will be flaky everywhere.
Scent
If you have experience in using mugwort in your skincare routine, I'm pretty sure you are aware of the scent. Mugwort has a more pungent-earthy smell as compared to many ingredients out there. Since this toner is 100% vegan then the smell is a bit strong but I don't have a problem with it, if you are not a fan of it, you might need to reconsider back. However, once the toner sinks into your skin you won't be smelling it. You may give it try.
Overall
I have been using it for almost 3 weeks now and my skin doesn't show any irritation to it. Sometimes I will dip the facial cotton and leave it to the red spot of my skin for around 3 minutes to get rid of redness in the fastest way. Normally I will use Houttuynia Cordota in the morning and Artemisia in the night. I feel it works more effectively if I do it like that. I will wake up with plump skin and no more redness on my face. My face easily gets irritated so I guess It does all the magic to my face and I'm pretty much like it.

Whether you prefer horror, true crime scene, fiction, or something totally different, BookXcess has books that available in lots of different genre. Well if you ask me, it's kinda difficult at first to find the genre that I'm looking for because you really need to explore the bookstore. The decoration inside the bookstore is more to “instagrammable” design that offers various interesting and unique themes from the customer service area to An Art Gallery.
Since opening our doors in 2007, BookXcess has reinvigorated and redefined bookselling in Malaysia and beyond, offering an unparalleled range of affordably priced books from classic novels to children’s pop-ups to bestselling self-help titles.

Also another cafe is WHISK - established in early 2010, WHISK specializes in coffee & serves up a delicious line up of home-baked desserts.
One
of my favourite parts about book shopping is browsing through the
shelves. Sometimes I know exactly what I want. Other times, far more
often, I just want to have a poke around, read the titles, stroke the
covers, and search for something that catches my fancy.
If I’m looking for a new book, but I don’t know what I want yet, I can
read a few pages
from the middle, you just need to bring that book over the counter then
they will open the wrap for you. You can decide If you want to take it
home or not.
They carry a great range of titles and they offer good prices. That's the thing that I love about this bookstore. Very cheap! Mostly the range of price starting from RM17.00 fro both hardcover and paperback. I mean RM17 for hardcover? Are you kidding me?? But bear in mind the collection of the books in this bookstore still in growing process. You might hard to find all the famous author that you will be looking for. I can't find my favourite author there but understandable and turns out I find a great book to replace it.
