[REVIEW] Natural Pacific Fresh Green Tea Seed Serum







 if you ask me about my favourite skincare ingredient right now I am going to choose green tea 🍵 Can't stress enough how beneficial green tea is for oily skin. It soothes and calms the skin, prevents breakouts, and brightens skin.You might have noticed by looking through my instagram feed that i don't have stable skincare routine as i am always trying out new sheet mask or essence but one thing that i have achieved during my Korean skincare journey is that my skin looks so much healthier and glowy than before 

I have been using this Natural Pacific  Fresh Green Tea Seed Serum for sometime now and I am seriously sold by its performance.this serum contains 84% Camellia Sinesis Leaf Water and a whole bunch of oils. you can see the picture if you want to  know more about the ingredient list


 The vial is made out of matte glass and has a dropper cap. packaging wise this is bit of a nuisance as a single accident/ incident of dropping can smash the vial to pieces :( so this is only suited for our vanity table or skincare basket

The texture is thin and water like and smells so nice( this healed the cystic acne on my chin and hairline) It absorbs into the skin like a dream. My skin feels hydrated without that oily /greasy feel. I haven't noticed much brightening yet but this works great in terms of calming and moisturizing skin.

though it looks light green in the vial it imparts no color whatsoever onto the skin 

I usually use 6 drops of this on my face and use this (every night i am not testing a new product)  before going to bed. My skin texture has definitely improved with this serum.


This retails for 27.10 $ on @stylekorean_global website


**PRODUCT SENT FOR REVIEWS ALL OPINION SHARED IS HONEST AND MY OWN**

8Beautycosmetics Mask fixer

Ok so as a avid sheet mask user sometimes after using a sheet mask I often feel that my skin needs some kind of an after product which seals in the moisture. I know people use occlusives for that but for people who have oily skin heavy moisturizers are a big "No"



I got to try this super cool one of its kind Mask Fixer by 8Beautycosmetics ( an innovative skincare product which never existed before)
The packaging is a very convenient pump bottle which contains a generous 100ml of product in it. The bottle is 100% spill proof and the pump dispenses adequate amount of product so have fear of wasting product

About the product:

This is a light weight Slightly opaque liquid which can be used as a substitute for essence or be used after a sheet mask as finishing product. I have used this product on its own under my own and I really enjoyed how it gave my oily skin a punch of moisture and helped me with makeup application. The scent of this very pleasant, its not too strong just a mild sort of floral scent.
The star ingredients are silk crystal and cold pressed hemp seed oil
 Silk crystal has the ability to promote collagen production, helps skin regeneration filter UV radiations and has strong moisturizing properties
While hemp seed oil is a super food with contains fatty acids vitamin A, E , omega 3 and omega 6  fatty acid so its perfect for giving moisturizer, anti oxidant and wrinkle care. This heals skins so for people who have atopic dermatitis or eczema or sensitive skin this is perfect

What I love about this product is that it does not feel heavy on the skin. In fact this is so light weight( something quite astonishing for a product which contains hemp seed oil) it absorbs into the skin within seconds. I really like the moisturized yet matte finish I get after using this product.
I am thoroughly impressed with this product and would highly recommend you to try this product. Even if you don't use sheet masks you can still use this as an essence so its a skin product with can be used in multiple ways

this is available for 38,500 won on yooheeco website here

[Review] Swanicoco Bio Ferment Fermentation Snail Care Skin Toner & Emulsion


Ok so i happen to be one of the lucky people who got selected for the swanicoco swan2 project and the team was kind enough to send me this box full of skincare products to try, so thank you team swanicoco and ms may for picking me for this project


i really love the brand for its transparency when it comes to their PR and review policy and how they are willing to hear all the positive and negative reviews of their product
Swanicoco's product are made out of natural products hence they pose less adverse effects to the skin. they have a vast range of products which target all skin problems and types. the products not only are great but even their packaging is very chic and sturdy

Today i will be reviewing two products i will start with the Swanicoco Bio Ferment Fermentation Snail Care Skin Toner


 Packaging:
 like i mentioned it earlier its white and made out of plastic. the bottle is well made and there is a pump mechanism to dispense the toner which in my opinion is very hygienic as the product remains fresh. also that way you can control the amount of product hence less wastage
another great think i have noticed about the cardboard packaging is that even though the instruvtiosn and ingredient list is stated in Korean outside. they have printed the same thing in english inside the box. i would have posted a picture of the box but i couldn't bring myself to sacrifice the cardboard packaging so please try to do with this picture


Quantity: 120 ml
About the product 
as soon as one opens the cap one is met with a very pleasant natural rose scent. i personally like this scent because its not strong or over powering. the toner is not too thick nor its like water its something inn between slightly viscous but easy to spread and absorb into the skin. for some odd reason in my head i though this would feel sticky because of snail secretions but the texture is nothing close to tacky or sticky.



i have used this for some time in combination with the emulsion and i love how hydrating it is  and how quick it absorbs into the skin leaving a smooth matte finish behind.

i cant find any flaw or fault with this perfect. in my opinion is just perfect. i didn't get any breakouts with this so kudos for that!!
 5/5 without any second thought




 Swanicoco Bio Ferment Fermentation Snail Care Skin Emulsion
i have delved into a lot of different skincare products ranging from ampoules, essence toners cleansers , lotion but never an emulsion so this was a very interesting product for me because i didnt knew what to expect from it

Packaging
as you can already see the packaging of this emulsion is exactly the same as that of toner. this too has  a pump. an contains 120 ml of product




About the product 
so emulsion is product which is midway between a cream and a lotions its not too tick and its not too thin and runny like a lotion . this one has nice texture it feels rich but on the skin this absorbs easily i think my skin  is currently in dehydrated state so anything moisturizing that i slap on is absorb immediately . the scent is similar to the toner so this feels so nice and relaxing
for me this product is perfect when used alone or in combination with toner. i will admit that i am a lazy person so sometimes i skip up steps and just cleanse my face and put on any of the moisturizing cream, toner or lotion that i have in my arm reach hehe . and i will admit that this emulsion totally fixes up the moisture barrier of my skin and sort of patches up the  gaps in my skin care.




so happy to tell you that even this is a fermented product it didn't cause any clogged pore so super happy with the results

honestly speaking this is the best skincare product out there. i like how you can get the benefit of snail secretions and ferment all in a single product. you can purchase SWANICOCO products at their website http://swanicoco.com/en/

honestly

LEEGEEHAM GROW HYAL B5 CREAM

Leegeeham recently launched the GROW HYAL B5 CREAM
ABOUT THE BRAND
Leegeeham is a Korean cosmetics brand designed by a team of dermatologists, so their products are a combination of pharmaceutical and cosmetics. Each product is  well researched and delivers what It promises
This cream Is a combination of vitamin B5 and Hyaluronic acid and has the tendency to provide more moisture and hydration than water


The reason why I don't have picture of its box is that my package ended up in a mail ( accident which resulted in damage to the packaging thankfully the container is intact)

The two main ingredients are B5 and hyaluronic acid.
B5 provides hydration, it prevents aging and acne and maintains skin elasticity
While hyaluronic acid revitalizes skin. makes it  softer and smooth, also reduces fine lines and wrinkles
About the Packaging:
A very practical chic white container which is perfect for traveling . There is a protective lid inside to maintain the freshness of the cream
Quantity: 50ml
About the product:
The texture is very interesting even though it says cream, it feels more like a gel. There is a nice scent to it . To my nose it smells like custard but my sister thinks it smells spicy
The product spreads easily onto the skin and takes about 3-5 minutes to absorb into the skin . I don't usually don't pat my creams into the skin ( that's some it have reserved for my serum and essence). Combined with the ampoule this makes a  perfect duo something which  does not requires more skincare steps.
The wow factor: My skin its feels so bouncy, I asked my mother to try this out. For reference she has mature dry skin. On her skin the results where more pronounced. The wrinkles and fine lines on her skin were smoothed out. All the dryness was gone.To explain it more thoroughly its best to say that this cream hydrates parched , dry and dehydrated skin so the lines created due to dehydration are reduced when moisture barrier goes back to normal. 
MY OPINIONI have worn this cream on its own, used it with the leegeeham Hyal B5 ampoule and even used it in combination with vitamin C . So far no adverse reaction encountered.
My mom loved this cream so much that i had no choice but to give it to her 😁
(This cream has got my mothers stamp of approval) My mom has decided to add this to  her night time skin care routine as it makes her skin feels so much soft and smooth every morning. Plus she wants the B5 and Hyaluronic acid to work their magic while she is asleep.
I think is perfect for winter but is it suitable for summers too? Only change of season will tell
This cream has got my mothers stamp of approval.

[Review] Purito Vitamin C serum 60 ml





Been eyeballing skincare products containing Vitamin C serum ever since I started taking interest in skincare but the high price tag always kept me from making a purchase. So i gave my skin the dose of Vitamin C it deserved by applying diluted lemon juice mixed with glycerin onto my face once every week (This DIY leaves skin soft and bright it also lightens hyper pigmentation) But some weeks ago I had an opportunity to try this Purito Vitamin C serum and now i wish i had tried this sooner. This smells like vitamin supplements 😆 (gross right ) but the results which you get afterwards are really worth all the trouble and bad smell 😅
ABOUT THE PACKAGING
The serum is cased in a sturdy tinted plastic bottle( vitamin C tends to oxidize pretty fast so tinted bottles prevent them from un necessary light exposure) with a pump(very convenient and handy) and contains 60 ml of serum in it. The pump dispenses product quite generously so 1 pump is enough to cover the whole face
ABOUT THE PRODUCT
This serum has a light straw color  and has a water like texture which is not greasy or slippery. On application it stings slightly (its bearable) I have noticed that the sting vanishes once the serum dries down and is absorbed. My skin feels super smooth every time I use this.
 Long term effects: Reduced hyper pigmentation and lighter acne scars 👍. Since Vitamin C/ ascorbic acid  content is 10% I have decided to use this once every week as I don't want to damage my skin with too much acids and exfoliation. Sometimes I mix this serum with my regular face cream and apply this onto the face. This serum is a must have if you are starting out with skincare and want to incorporate some skin vitalising/ collagen boosting product to your routine 🙆. This can be purchased at eopen market
