I hope you are having a relaxing day full of fun, family, and friends. We are hanging out with my family in North Carolina. We eat turkey, watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade and a lot of football!
If it were up to me, we’d be watching Hallmark Christmas movies all day, but ya know… I lost that one! 😂
I wanted to say thank you to you. I am very grateful for you all who come back to support my blog, YouTube channel, Instagram. You all make this fun and exciting. It means that world to me that one person even reads or follows or responds, let alone more than 1! ❤️
In addition to celebrating time and gratitude for my faith, family, friends, and health, I also celebrate you.
KAPLAN MD is a brand that has been on my radar for a while now. I’ve heard amazing things about the brand, so when they reached out to see if I wanted to try a new product, it is safe to say I was pretty excited!
They sent over the Diamond Contour Supercharged 1 Minute Daily Facial (say that 5 times fast!), and I was really pumped to try it!
This is a daily exfoliator/serum that helps to improve the “4 facets of beautiful skin – Texture, Plumpness, Radiance, and Rejuvenation.” (KaplanMD Website).
Personally, I am always looking for something that will help with texture and brighten. I have a few pigmentation spots here and there, and my skin is losing a bit of elasticity from age. I’m 34.
There are powerful actives within this formula, including crushed diamonds, fruit enzymes and 22 organic extracts! There are pearls within the formula that keep the actives intact until you pump the product and apply it to your face.
The question is – does it work? YES.
The diamonds help to exfoliate, while the fruit acids are helping to brighten and renew after a good scrub. Of course, the scrub is really helping get rid of all of the dead skin cells to allow the actives to work at their full potential.
My skin feels so soft after using it. You can use this everyday, but I started slow, using it every other day. I really enjoy using this and really look forward to it. The other piece I like about it is that it works within 1 minute. Sometimes I don’t have the time to wear a mask for 20 minutes or have a long routine. 1 minute is easy and fast!
This product retails for $85, which is high, but you’re getting some great ingredients with innovative technology. I enjoy the science and forward thinking technology behind the brand.
Overall – really good. This is a great way to get quick, clean, exfoliated skin!
Let me know if you have tried this or other products from KAPLAN MD. I am curious to hear your thoughts!
Lots of love,
Jennifer

Affordable skincare? Um, yes, please! Affordable skincare that works? EVEN better! I am excited to share with you what I think are hidden gems in the skincare world. Meebak skincare was so nice to let me try these products for my honest review, and I am so excited I decided to, because I have since found two really nice products.
There are two products that I want to tell ya about today. The first is a serum. The Meebak Cica Serum is made with Centella asiatica to calm and soothe skin, especially those with sensitive skin. It is supposed to heal and strengthen the skin barrier. Hyaluronic acid keeps your skin hydrated while the niacinamide keeps your texture smooth and retinol keeps those wrinkles at bay.
This can be found on Amazon for an amazing deal – $19.97 and there is a $2 coupon!
This serum is phenomenal. It really feels calming, has a slight scent, but it is nostalgic to me. It reminds me of my Nannie’s makeup drawer, oddly enough. It’s a pleasant scent that isn’t overwhelming and it dissipates quickly.
I would say it is a hydrating serum. It sinks right in. I have no issues layering products under or over this serum. I highly recommend this as it quickly has become a product I reach for over my higher priced serums.
Next up is the Meebak Cica Cream. This cream is silky smooth and blends in like a dream. It is also made with Centella asiatica to help calm and soothe skin.
It has very similar claims to the cica serum. This cream also contains retinol and niacinamide. It also is full of peptides, which I really like. It hydrates and makes my skin radiant.
This is definitely thicker in consistency compared to the serum. While they are similar in the fact that they both are cica derived, you can definitely tell that the cream provides more hydration that lasts.
This cream can also be found on Amazon for an affordable price at $16.97 and there is a $2 coupon!!! Amazing!
Both products have no parabens, sulfates, or phthalates. There is also no animal testing. They are made in Korea.
I feel like these products are honestly hidden gems. They are excellent products that I have used and really have enjoyed. I do think that they have helped with the texture of my skin and have provide much needed hydration.
Do you have any hidden gems you can share? I’m always looking for those!
Let me know if you have tried this brand or have tried cica products. This was the first I had heard of it!
