Happenings in October - AVENE Cleanance A.H.A Exfoliating Serum

Tuesday 8/10/24

I am already familiar with the AVENE Cleanance range as I am currently using Avene Cleanance Cleansing Gel and Cleanance Comedomed. Hence, adding AVENE Cleanance A.H.A Exfoliating Serum to my routine felt like the perfect complement to complete my skincare set. Thanks Daily Vanity for introducing the product.

AVENE Cleanance A.H.A Exfoliating Serum is suitable for people with sensitive, blemish-prone skin. Its lightweight, watery texture infused with Avène Thermal Spring Water, feels incredibly soothing upon application. 

The serum absorbs quickly into the skin, leaving behind a hydrated, dewy glow without any greasy feeling. The serum is free from fragrance. I noticed it effectively soothed redness and did not trigger any breakouts or discomfort. It’s the perfect addition to my skincare routine.

Seoul (South Korea) Day 1: Airport Limousine

After 10 minutes of air taxiing, we moved out of the plane and made our way toward customs. 

The queue for custom clearance was madness, likely due to the China Golden Week holiday. Visitors are required to fill in an arrival card.We started queuing at 7.40am and took 1 hour 10 minutes to finally get through. 

 My exchange rate was S$1 : ₩1,017.

 After collecting our baggage and taking toilet break, we headed to the ticket redemption counter at Gate 6 of Incheon Airport Terminal 1. We needed to exchange our mobile voucher for a physical ticket as we had pre-purchased the round trip Airport Limousine Bus Ticket from Klook for S$32.45 per person. 

As we stepped out of the airport at 9.35am, cool breeze greeted us, I put on my jacket while waiting for Limousine Bus 6015 which would take us to Myeongdong. It has been a long while since I last experienced such a cooling season, it felt refreshing.

The bus came 5 minutes later and we boarded the bus to find very comfortable seating, perfect for the hour-long ride ahead. The bus would make its way through different parts of Myeongdong and our hotel was located at the ninth stop. 

There were jam especially near the cross junction on the expressway, the journey to our bus stop was extended to 1 hour 45 minutes. We reached Lotte Hotel/IBIS Myeongdong stop at 11.25am.
