Laneige a brand popular for its water sleeping mask recently released another hit multitasking skincare product ( which has it own line by the wat consisting of a cream skin pads, cream skin mist and cream skin cleanser ). The whole concept is impressive and it very popular among the korean skincare enthusiast.
So when I saw a 50ml deluxe size of this popular toner, into my cart this went. It is promoted as a skincare product suitable for all skin types. Now I have oily/dehydrated skin so I am very cautious when using face creams because they clog pores and aggravate acne. I don't know why but when I read the description for some reason, I believed that this product was suitable for me I should have known better
For the western market Laneige rebranded this as Laneige Cream Skin Toner & Moisturizer,
According to the LANEIGE Product Development Team ''this is a toner with new formula in which a whole bottle of cream is dissolved with safe ingredients to keep the skin hydrated and healthy''
Features
It melts the cream into the skin and keeps the skin moist.
White Leaf Tea Water which has rich Amino acid strengthens rough skin barrier.
When used consistently, the dryness of the skin would be alleviated and turn the dull skin into shiny even after the makeup.
Unlike the Original full-size product the deluxe bottle is transparent and has a nice heavy lid. It has a typical toner like opening to dispense the product
My Experience
Since this is basically a cream in a toner it has the fluid texture of a toner and the milky opacity of a cream. I splashed a small amount in my palm and patted it into my face
I was instantly impressed. Even though it looked like toner. It felt far more moisturizing. It absorbed easily leaving a hint of moisture film on my face. I was in love ( or so I thought ) until next morning when I woke up with multiple white bumps on my face
Since I was testing a few new skincare products at that time I suspected a sleeping mask to be the prime culprit and removed it from my routine but the next day there were more whiteheads on my face. That is when I started suspecting Laneige Cream Skin Refiner to be the one fault . Over the course of one week my skin looked terrible. I had two very painful nodular breakouts on my cheek . And a lot of PIH.
I was so hearbroken to find out that this was not suitable for my skin. From my guess either it is too hydrating for my skin, or there is an ingredient that my skin doesn't like. Thankfully I purchased the deluxe size so my wallet was saved. I by no means say that this is bad product. Because there is huge fan following and many folks swear by this stuff. But unfortunately this didn't work for my skin
