Huxley is a Korean skincare brand, and all their products contain Prickly Pear Cactus Seed Oil which is supposed to help with hydration. I was really interested in the brand since I was looking for hydrating products that wouldn't feel heavy on the skin.
Extract It Toner: This is a hydrating toner, which I use as an essence. I use this as part of a "7 skin method" where I layer toners or essences 7 times for extra hydration without the heavy feel. To me all the Huxley products smell like a garden or kind of like grass, and I don't really like the smell, but it is a light scent. This product claims to provide superior hydration, which I don't agree with at all. I have toners that are way more hydrating than this one and when I use this toner it does sting around my mouth where my skin is very sensitive. I'm using this product up, but I will not repurchase or recommend it.
Oil Essence: Is a hybrid products as the name suggest. It's a great product for people who doesn't like the feel of an oil on their skin, but still want a boost of hydration. The products claims to provide lasting hydration and intense nourishment, which I sadly don't fully agree with. It provides hydration but on my skin it doesn't last more than a couple hours, and my skin will start to feel a bit tight and dry, which also means that on me, this product is not giving me intense nourishment. It is my fave product from Huxley, and because it is a hybrid product it's very easy to layer with other products and it will not feel heavy on the skin. I would recommend this if you have combo skin, and you're looking for lightweight serum that provides a bit of hydration.
Fresh and More Cream: I wanted a light cream to use in the morning that wouldn't feel heavy, and this is a nice lightweight cream that sits well under makeup. This product claims to lock in hydration for a lasting, all-day glow, which I do agree that it locks in the hydration you've put on before the cream, but it doesn't give an all-day glow because there is no glow when you put makeup on top of it. This cream pretty much does what it is supposed to, but it's nothing special and I'm currently on the lookout for a new morning moisturizer. I would recommend this cream if your looking for a light cream to use in the morning, but I do think there are better things out there for the price.
Grab Water Essence: I was really excited to try this product since it claimed to be an oasis for tired skin and will fill and plump skin with intensive hydration. I was pretty disappointed when it didn't make much of a difference in my skin. I don't think it's a bad product, I just don't think it does what it claims. On me it's a lightly hydrating serum, very lightweight, and good if you don't like oil serums. But sadly for me it's not hydrating enough and doesn't make enough of a difference in my skin. I will use it up but I will not repurchase. If you have oily skin I think you'd like this serum.
A very negative review, but it's my honest opinion, and I won't be buying any of these again. I might look at the brand again in the future if they come out with new products, but until then I can find better and more affordable alternatives.
Hope this helps!
