AXIS-Y Mini Glow Set Review: 100% Authentic K-Beauty
When it comes to skincare, there’s no such thing as “one-size-fits-all.” Each complexion is unique, and what works wonders for one person may not have the same effect for another. Enter the AXIS-Y Mini Glow Set—a 100% authentic Korean skincare kit that’s been making waves in the beauty community. Sold exclusively at AU Beauty Bazaar, this giftable set brings together the loving and collaborative spirit of AXIS-Y and its global community of skincare enthusiasts.
What’s Inside the AXIS-Y Mini Glow Set?
This adorable kit includes four community-favorite minis, each carefully formulated to support a healthy, glowing complexion:
-
Quini — Quinoa One-Step Balanced Gel Cleanser
- What it Does: Gently cleanses without irritation
- Key Ingredients: Centella asiatica, quinoa, calendula, green tea
- My Experience: This cleanser foams nicely, feels gentle, and leaves skin clean. While not overly drying, it did give a slight tightness post-rinse and has a mild herbal scent.
-
Puri — Daily Purifying Treatment Toner
- What it Does: Clears and treats pores, calming inflamed areas
- Key Ingredients: Centella asiatica, salicylic acid (0.5%), tea tree, sugar cane
- My Experience: Lightweight and refreshing, it absorbs easily. While I personally didn’t notice dramatic changes, it was gentle and non-tacky. Be cautious if you’re sensitive to centella or certain botanical oils.
-
Arti — Artichoke Intensive Skin Barrier Ampoule
- What it Does: Repairs skin chronically damaged by environmental stressors
- Key Ingredients: Centella asiatica, artichoke, aloe vera, licorice, okra
- My Experience: Hydrating and plumping, but slightly tacky. Unfortunately, it triggered cystic breakouts on my skin after just two uses, likely due to my personal sensitivity to centella and certain plant extracts.
-
Glowi — Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum
- What it Does: Enhances skin’s glow and reduces discoloration
- Key Ingredients: Niacinamide, squalane, papaya, rice bran
- My Experience: This was the standout for me! Lightweight, moisturizing, and great at lightening small spots. However, the presence of certain fragrant oils may cause issues if you have very sensitive skin—unfortunately, I experienced breakouts from prolonged use.
In addition to these four minis, the set also includes cute stickers created by the AXIS-Y community and a gift card—perfect for sharing the glow with someone special.
YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary)
My experience highlights a crucial truth about skincare: everyone’s skin is different. While many adore centella asiatica for its soothing properties, it triggered cystic breakouts for me. It’s essential to know your triggers, read ingredient lists, and introduce new products slowly.
I tested the AXIS-Y Mini Glow Set for about three weeks, incorporating each product gradually. During the first week, my skin felt plumper and hydrated. By the second and third weeks, however, I noticed cystic breakouts—particularly due to my centella sensitivity. Eventually, I had to discontinue use and return to my previous routine. That’s not a knock on the brand or the quality of the products; it’s just a personal reaction.
Still, I understand why these products are beloved by so many. They’re packed with beneficial ingredients, feel luxurious, and come at a great price point for trial sizes. If centella or other botanicals aren’t problematic for you, this set could be a game-changer.
Why Give It a Try?
- Affordability: Four trial-sized products at a wallet-friendly price.
- Versatility: The lineup caters to a variety of skin types and concerns.
- Community Touch: Stickers designed by skincare fans add a personal, heartwarming element.
- Authentic Korean Skincare: Experience genuine K-beauty formulations known for innovation and quality.
Despite my personal challenges with certain ingredients, I’d still recommend giving this set a go—just be mindful of what works best for your skin. What might not suit me could become your new Holy Grail.
