I really liked the consistency of this cream (I won't type the name again bc it's too long, please refer to the title of this post~^^). It's creamy, yet not overwhelmingly heavy and oily. It almost feels Kiehl's Ultra Cream, but not nearly as "heavy" and more "refreshing to the skin".
I also love that it is without the 7 additives as listed on the box - paraben, mineral oil, artificial coloring..etc.
I've been trying to lessen my exposure to additives(chemicals), but obviously totally eliminating it is impossible - it's everywhere - shampoos, lotion..etc.. so I'm doing must best to stick to FREE OF items as long as the price is right^^
I also like that the ingredients are clearly stated. And it's a rather big bottle of 100ml!
I grabbed this while it was on sale :D I like use the sale period to try to new items.
The case is of glass with a nice weight to it, which makes it feel sturdy in the hands.
The expiration date is marked on the bottom.
I really like the consistency of this cream. It fits my combination skin very well, especially in this dry winter weather.
The cream is creamy, yet not too heavy. It has a mild refreshing scent. I am usually not in favor of "scented" cosmetic products, but this one is mild enough that it doesn't bother me.
The cream stays like so - doesn't drip down and has a nice consistency.
It absorbs well into my "dry" skin as shown on the photo~^^ You don't have to "rub" it on too much to absorb - it glides really well and feels "refreshing and moist" on the skin.
I would give this one a 4/5 :)
Hey lady - I'm also in Korea and a lover of all the products that are available here!! However I was just made aware of parabens and other chemicals that I should stay away from, and am having a tough time figuring out which products are paraben-free.
ReplyDeleteHow did you get an english translation of the ingredients of that facebook lotion? Its my favorite product so I'm glad that its one of the paraben-free ones!!!
Hi~~! Actually this product from The Faceshop came written in English! The big cosmetic companies like Faceshop and MISSHA..etc are fairly good in printing products in English. I find MISSHA and Faceshop pretty good in carrying products that are paraben free.
ReplyDeleteNot all cosmetic products will clearly state the ingredients, so I just go by the rule that when its not printed or stated that it is paraben free - it most likely isn't. Koreans are also well aware of being Paraben-free, so most products will state if it is free of it - I will usually look out for items that clearly states it on their box.
Paraben in Korean is 파라벤 - you can look out for this on ingredients~^^
