By Wishtrend Polyphenols in Propolis 15% Ampoule Review

By Wishtrend Propolis Ampoule Review

The more I try Korean skincare, the more I feel like there’s no going back. And this doesn’t mean that we don’t have amazing western skincare brands but the cute packaging with immense focus on hydrating and skin-soothing ingredients makes the K-beauty industry unique. Today, I’ll be reviewing another Korean skincare gem I discovered a few months ago, it’s the ‘By Wishtrend Polyphenols in Propolis 15% Ampoule’ which was kindly gifted to me by Beauty Barn India.

Availability: If you’re in India, you can get it from Beauty Barn India and for my international audience, buy it from Wishtrend. 

Expiry Date: May 5, 2021

Period After Opening (PAO): 12 months

Product Description & Ingredients

This ampoule is formulated with a lot of anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial ingredients and humectants.

By Wishtrend Polyphenols in Propolis Ampoule Ingredients
Ingredients

Houttuynia Cordata Extract – It is basically capsicum extract that calms acne. This has been used in place of purified water and has a whopping 59% concentration.

Propolis – It is composed of resin, beeswax, saliva secreted by bees and contains various enzymes. This ampoule has a concentration of 15% propolis which is known for reducing inflammation, reducing flushed skin, repair skin barrier and increasing the moisture content.

Zinc PCA – It is known for anti-inflammatory,anti-bacterial properties and is great for sensitive,acne-prone skin. It is also known for oil-control and protecting the skin from UV damage. Another skincare favourite of mine that contains zinc is The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% solution.

Glycerin, Sodium Hyaluronate & Panthenol – Effective humectants that are known for their moisture-retention properties.

Packaging

Packaging

The By Wishtrend Polyphenols in Propolis 15% Ampoule comes in a golden glass bottle with a dropper. The container feels heavy and a wee-bit luxurious too. There’s no additional screw cap provided with the bottle, that might have made it a little more travel-friendly but it’s not a big deal for me. I have a habit of hoarding product cartons that comes in handy while packing your skincare so I’m safe!

Texture & Smell

The Polyphenols in Propolis Ampoule has a slightly viscous consistency or should I say it’s not watery. It’s very pale yellow in colour and has no added fragrance. You don’t need more than 2-3 drops for your face and neck and it absorbs like a dream, considering its viscous texture. When you apply this propolis ampoule, you can feel the waxiness in your fingers too. On application, it does feel a little tacky on my oily skin but don’t worry, I’ll let you know how to reduce that tackiness in the next new paragraphs.

Texture

I couldn’t smell anything when I took out the product so it’s amazing for all my friends who can’t stand products that have a weird smell, added fragrance and even essential oils! But it does have a slightly weird smell when you sniff inside the container. This propolis ampoule is 100% sensitive-skin friendly.

How to use By Wishtrend Propolis Ampoule?

  1. You can use it in both AM & PM routine after cleanser and toner.
  2. Take 2-3 drops and pat it into your face and neck.
  3. For oily skin types like me, use 2 drops of it on a slightly damp face and neck. This will help in eliminating the tackiness.
  4. Use it before moisturiser.

How Does the Propolis Ampoule Perform?

The By Wishtrend Polyphenols in Propolis 15% Ampoule is so moisturising that I tend to leave my moisturizer and treat it as the last step. I’ve been using this since April and it makes my face look brighter and feel baby soft. This comes in handy especially when I experience skin irritation and redness and even after shaving my face.

I also use this propolis ampoule while treating acne. How so? Whenever I get one, I apply some Salicylic acid solution to reduce the size of the acne. And once it has compressed a little, using this ampoule helps in reducing and removing that faster. 

The Polyphenols in Propolis 15% Ampoule fills in the dry cracks and give an insane moisturization to my skin. Not just my face, I have tried using it on my dry elbows and it made them soft in an instant. But it’s definitely too expensive to be used on the body, haha!

Conclusion

If you have any of these skin concerns – irritated skin, sensitive skin, dry skin, dehydrated skin and acne-prone skin, damaged skin barrier – you need to include By Wishtrend Polyphenols in Propolis 15% Ampoule in your skincare routine. It’s a 100% cruelty-free skincare that works, just like how I prefer my beauty products to be!

Not every product will remove your acne or stubbor Not every product will remove your acne or stubborn dermal PIH. But do they suck? Maybe they have ingredients that will help you in maintaining your skin?🤔

In many cases, the brands are to be blamed too. They tend to overpromise and underdeliver which sets wrong expectations in consumers.

👉 Anyway, these were just my thoughts and idk about the research behind it. Take it with a grain of🧂

✨Feel free to drop in your skincare queries.✨

‼️By no means I want to imply that skincare is as important and necessary as food. That was just an analogy.😌
I see too many "Oh it's just hydrates the skin" bu I see too many "Oh it's just hydrates the skin" but,

What if your skin is dull because it's not hydrated? What if you're breaking out because your barrier is impaired due to lack of moisturization? What if your face feels tight because it's dehydrated? What if the minor fine lines are a result of lack of hydration? Hydrate your skin... with skincare products ofc, not by drinking water😋

PS: apologies for playing with the emoji. I got carried away🥳

Feel free to comment in case you need product suggestions 😊

I have a super low maintenance hair (not the scalp I have a super low maintenance hair (not the scalp though but that's another story). They're straight, moderately frizzy, not too dry, and not too dense. Now let's see how the @nykaabeauty Onion & Fenugreek haircare worked for me. (gifted)

TL;DR Shampoo is good.

𝗗𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗼 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗳𝗮𝗹𝗹?
I don't know. I do shed a lot of hair in general but I don't sit and count them. I don't want to stress about nothing. I do have certain areas that lack density but idc atm, I'll marry rich and use the guy's money to get a transplant or something.

👉All I can say is, the shampoo cleanses the hair well, lathers really well for an SLS free shampoo, doesn't strip the hair, and didn't trigger more hairfall in my case. The texture is runny and the packaging is convenient.💙

𝙀𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙄 𝙨𝙠𝙞𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙞-𝙙𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙧𝙪𝙛𝙛 𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙢𝙥𝙤𝙤, 𝙢𝙮 𝙨𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙥 𝙙𝙞𝙙𝙣'𝙩 𝙜𝙚𝙩 𝙞𝙩𝙘𝙝𝙮.🥳

Which shampoo are you using these days? Do you like it? Hate it? Meh it?

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗿?
I expect a conditioner to soften and detangle my hair. And this one failed. The softness is OK-ish, doesn't help with frizz, and my hair feel tangled. It's as good as not applying any conditioner. And as I said, my hair is easy.

👉I tried different combos and the shampoo works great with other conditioners. In my case, it's the flawsome kinky berry mask.

𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗲 & 𝗣𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴
The packaging attracted me to these products the most. White and lavender 🥺 make me look forward to hairwash days. They're priced well too considering how everything costs atleast 700 these days🌚

Why do you take hard balm, rub it directly on your Why do you take hard balm, rub it directly on your cheeks harshly, immediately add water, and then complain it's not working? Heinn?

PS: Yes I know some brands have really soft cleansing balms that melt as soon as you touch them. Exception. Also depends on the weather condition. But I'm mostly referring to when people take a chunk that resembles cold, hard butter on their cheeks and aggressively try to rub it. Don't do it imo.
It's a close call between the two but if you refer It's a close call between the two but if you refer to the comparison, @spektacosmetics wins... for everyone except me😭 Hear me out, okay?

For me, strategically placing oil on skin with a tool is OK. But rubbing oil between my fingers is like scratching fingernails on a chalkboard. The squeal sends shivers down my body and same is the case with oils. I know it's weird and isn't the case with most and I get it. But that's just me. So it's a very personal choice. For you, it'll be a plus point because the oils actually nourish your nails and the skin around it. Also, the packaging is cute.

➡️Talking about nailpolish removal,

They both work fine when I'm working with lighter colours but the true ability of a nailpolish remover is revealed when I test it with my OPI Big Apple Cherry.

Colorbar stains the hand I use to hold the cotton and my nail bed, Red. I kind of have to work hard to get rid of that. Don't enjoy that. It's relatively easier to remove with Spekta.

Which nailpolish remover would you choose?

Khadija (@beautyanomaly) tagged me to share 8 thin Khadija (@beautyanomaly) tagged me to share 8 things about myself and it really took me a while to think of all these points. I didn't know that I didn't know much about myself but here you go:

1. I've always achieved well academically just by putting in the least efforts.

2. I like to impress people (both online and offline) and make them happy so I get really nervous and tired while socialising.

3. I haven't watched Harry Potter. Ok maybe I have (a part or two) when I was a kid. But I really don't care about it. Same with DC/Marvel or whatever sci-fi comic stuff that exists. Don't unfollow me.

4. I like to overplan, decorate, and organize. I can't wait to have my own place so I can decorate it the way I want.

5. I'm very scared of October. I have lost 3 close family members in the past 3 years - each of them in October.

6. I'm camera shy and that's why I've been delaying my YouTube appearance. I just don't wanna look ugly and awkward.😭

7. I sometimes sniff my underarms on days I don't take a shower. The weird smell makes me gag but I still like it.

8. No matter how hard things get, I never actually complain about life. I'm always very grateful. Might be surprising because I don't talk much about positivity and shitting rainbows🌈. But that's because it's a part of my nature so I just think it's like, idk, brushing your teeth? You don't need to tell people to do that because you think they already do.

Tell me one RANDOM thing about yourself. Please embarrass yourself so I feel better🥰
My love letter📝 to @aveenous For more than 3 y My love letter📝 to @aveenous

For more than 3 years, I stepped out of the shower with red, itchy skin mostly on the upper body. It'd take at least half an hour to settle down no matter how much I moisturized. I changed bodywashes and soaps and even changed water as I moved  cities but nothing worked.

Initially I accepted that this is how it's going to be but the annoyance made me decide to visit a doctor and get it checked. But the pandemic happened and my appointment was postponed indefinitely.

Around the same time, I found the Aveeno Skin Relief Body Wash. It was fragrance free and had oatmeal to soothe the skin. It felt like a perfect match so I asked my followers about it. They unanimously approved it✔️ (thanks guys!) and I went ahead with the purchase.

Ever since I have started using it, there hasn't been a single case of redness. No itching either. So gentle, calming, non-foaming - truly a skin relief💙 I can't imagine trying any other body wash now 🥺 Thank you for making this!

With love❤️
Rifat

𝗝𝗮𝗻 '𝟮𝟭 𝗘𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 For me emptying existing products >>> buying new ones. Tell me what you finished this month!

Before the world shut down, I had moved cities multiple times in just a year and a half. And I had to allot an entire huge suitcase for my cosmetics. I'd literally walk in railway stations and airports with 2 big suitcases and a heavy backpack all alone😭 and that made me abhor clutter even more.

So my life goal (lol) now is to finish everything I have. Let's see my empties:

💦 @pixibeauty Vitamin-C Cleanser - Good quality micellar water. If you're not into cleansing oils and balms, try it. (PR)

💦 Pixi Glow Cleansing Gel - What an underrated cleanser! No foam at all and absolutely non-drying. Love it, do try💙 (PR)

🧴@sulwhasoo.india FCA - It surprised me! Was expecting irritation but I got hydration, calmness, and supple skin. Wasn't suprised enough to repurchase though. But I'm intrigued by the brand and want to try the emulsions and sleeping packs. (PR)

💠 @laneigeindia White Dew Essence - Has a viscous, gel-like texture. Decent in terms of hydration but the sweet artificial scent is too strong for my liking. Skip🤞
