[REVIEW] Leegeeham Hope Blue one solution

I was having a good skin month until I came home for holidays in July and Bam!! Humidity along with sweat totally destroyed my skin . I wokeup with a constellation of tiny bumps aka clogged pores all over my forhead. There were some pustules on my chin area and   blackheads on my nose. Now my fool proof way to deal with this kind of situation is to slather on a thick layer mud mask. Wait for it to dry completely

@theskinmaskuerade honestly played the role of fairy godmother by sending me this Leegeeham Hope Blue one solution.  In the beginning I was unsure about the purpose of this product because the directions were to apply to problematic area after cleansing but after examining the ingredient list I found out that this is like a spot treatment for breakouts and sebum .
Product Details
A water-like spot treatment formulated with salicylic acid for acne/trouble areas, helps reduce blemishes and skin redness. At the same time, it gently exfoliates and clears the pores, leaving skin smooth and clean.
Size
50ml

How to Use
Soak cosmetic cotton butt or cotton pad with Blue One.
Gently apply on to the trouble spot/areas after cleansing morning and night.

Full Ingredients
Alcohol, Water, Lactic Acid, Candida Bombicola/Glucose/Methyl Rapeseedate Ferment, Salicylic Acid, Phytosphingosine, o-Cymen-5-ol, Silkworm Extract, Schizonepeta Tenuifolia Extract, Poria Cocos Sclerotium Extract, Pogostemon Cablin Leaf Extract, Panax Ginseng Root Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Cnidium Officinale Root Extract, Citrus Unshiu Peel Extract

I improvised on the directions and instead of applying on selected areas I applied this to my whole face with a cotton ball at night after washing with a cleanser. This has a very noticeable alcohol scent and is a bit volatile in nature. (the solution drys/ evaporated within a minute or so). My face looked shine free. I skipped on toner, serum and cream because let's be real. Applying layers of skincare products in this weather is like a death sentence. The next day I was surprised how the tiny bumps were all dried out . Plus my face didnt like it usually oil mess in the morning. It was soft and looked grease free for once in my life

The ingredient list is very interesting, the very first ingredient listed is alcohol which has stirred a lot of controversy in skincare  sphere. I personally feel that alcohol here serves the purpose of presevative and as anti bacterial/disinfectant . The third ingredient is lactic acid which is an AHA so it a chemical exfoliant which removes dead skin cells,and  clears blemishes the fourth ingredient is salicylic acid which is BHA . This helps to clean out clogged pores, remove black head and regulate sebum production. Phytosphingosine is an anti inflammatory and anti bacterial agent. All in one this is a very potent concotion to combat acne, inflammation and sebum. The eye drop bottle like packaging gives a lot of control on dispensing product. Plus its kind of spill proof.

I have been using this every single day ever since then ( both morning and night)
The breakouts have cleared up  and my skin is behaving with  oil production. The only thing left is a few scars on my chin .

Leegeeham HOPE 5 α- Control cream

I was sent this cream courtesy Leegeeham by Ms Aileen for review purpose

 A moisturizing cream specially designed for oily skin I was very curious because it contains 5 alpha hydroxy acid a chemical compound used to inhibit the action of 5 α reductase the main culprit of excess oil/sebum production and Hirsutism ( excess hair growth) in females

PACKAGING
Just like the Hyal B5 cream this is cased in a very sturdy travel friendly container. There is a protective lid to keep the product from spilling and maintain its freshness
This cream has a faint propolis like scent which is good because I was afraid it might smell have that chemistry lab like scent 😳
The texture of this cream is a somewhat like a lotion its viscous and feels like a emulsion/ lotion.
INGREDIENTS'

ABOUT THE PRODUCT
Now I have been using my favourite green tea cream for 2 yrs straight because it absorbs immediately into the skin giving a matte finish so I had the same concept of matte akin in my mind but I was quite surprised when I applied this onto my skin
Instead of absorbing immediately this took about 5 minutes and instead of leaving that matte/ dry skin . It made my skin feel so and satin like. Moreover my makeup went on so much smoothly afterwards. What I have deduced after using this for almost a month is that this cream restores the moisture which an oily skin needs ( something which many of us oily skin people are guilty of) so this in return regulates sebum product and the skin does not feels the need to produce more oil

FINAL THOUGHTS
My experience with heavy creams have not been pleasant in the past but this one is definitely a product made after a lot of research. This does not clog up pores, cause breakout more exacerbate pimples.
The ingredient list and instructions are printed both in English and Hangul (Korean) on the box
Since the cream is on pricier side I suggest you to use a spatula to scoop out cream so that no extra bacteria is introduces in the cream( hygiene comes first)
I searched for skincare products containing 5 α-Hydroxy acids and I didn't found many so this is a one of its kind product which controls excess sebum production.

[REVIEW] ✨ Leegeeham Hyal B5 Moisture Mask✨

Hyaluronic acid is not one of my favourite ingredients when it comes to sheetmasks because It often leaves my skin feeling tacky but This one sheet mask changed my whole perspective on hyaluronic acid.

About the brand:
Leegeeham combines cosmetics and pharmaceuticals to achieve a healthy complexion
About the product
The packaging is just like any other sheet mask its an aluminium foil with a matte texture. The instruction and ingredients list is stated in both Korean and English
Made with 100% pure cotton this mask feels so much refined and better than all the sheet masks I have tried previously. The sheet is well made, the texture is smooth and though its thin, its quite absorbent so its totally drenched with hyaluronic acid and B5 without any residual serum/essence unless you squeeze the serum out with your own hands.

This mask has protective plastic back cover to keep it from tearing or damage.
Now I don't have anything against hyaluronic acid containing sheets masks but I have noticed that often these kind of masks are high in glycerin content hence the tacky feel but the serum of this by leegeeham feels different. Its light weight and very viscous at the same time. This absorbs completely into the skin leaving behind a soft matte finish. I also noticed that this brightened my complexion. I wore this for 25-30mins approx because the sheet began to dry up on certain areas like my nose, chin and sides of my face.

Though its suggested to wear this sheet mask after applying toner I wore it on its own and it performed great. My skin felt so soft and smooth throughout the day. My skin didn't produce much oil because it wad hydrated and well moisturizer nor did I felt like slapping on amy face cream.the effect lasted all day long even though I washed my face twice after this mask application
I'm thoroughly impressed with this mask and would give it 5/5 💎💎💎💎💎

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] Leejeeham life sun cushion spf 50 pa++++

Sunscreen are a crucial when it come to protecting your skin from premature aging and wrinkles. I seriously regret all those times when I never wore sunscreen and thought my skin was better-off without.  I could have saved my skin from so much damage and hyper pigmentation. Sigh!! So girls don't make the same skincare mistake I did.
This might shock some of you but according to some dermatologists (source: Google) you are suppose to re-apply sunscreen every 2 hrs as sun screen wears off with time.Now I don't know if its a marketing hoax (to make more sales) or a legit fact but for those of you who do re apply sunscreen after every few hours here is product to make things easier without ruining your makeup

I have been a huge fan of cushion foundations/ bb creams ever since they have been launched. the concept of them is so travel friendly and vintage. Do you know it was once considered every fashionable to apply powder or lipstick in public 😄
But I was so surprised and intrigued when i found out that now you can even have your sunscreen in a cushion compact packaging. Who would have though of such a cool idea?
 Leejeeham life sun cushion spf 50 pa++++ is a cushion sunscreen which delivers a beautiful semi matte glow to the face and gives it maximum sun protection from both UVA & UVB radiations.

It has avery chic looking white compact which a matte plastic casing. Inside these is a beautiful pink air cell puff and a mirror

Like all cushion compacts this is sealed to maintain the freshness and prevent the product from drying out. Once I peeled off the plastic cover I was greeted with a pleasant scent. It mild and doesn't lingers for long onto the skin

The sunscreen looks pink in the cushion compact but once applied onto the face this light weight sunscreen turns close to translucent so a slight pink hue/white cast. The air cell puff makes it handy it to apply the sunscreen over makeup. You can wear this under makeup too. It gives a lit from within glow.
Though I am guilty of not reapplying my sunscreen through out the day I definitely find it very handy to use early in the morning some days especially Sundays when I feel too lazy to pit on makeup I usually apply this over my face and go out to pick groceries with my mother at the bazaar. This just keeps my face safe from sun damage and makes my skin look toned up so I look put together with minimal effort 😊
 This cushion sunscreen is admittedly on the pricier side but the convenient chic white packaging, flash back free formula and minimum white cast, SPF 50 with PA++++ makes this a winner.The cushion can be popped out and replaced with a refill so this also environmental friendly and it comes with a mirror too 4/5 💎💎💎💎💎
☀ In my opinion Asian sunscreens are definitely worth splurging, as the formulation is suitable for sensitive,oily and acne prone skin

[Review] Leejiham Tea Tree 90 Essence

LEEGEEHAM is no stranger when it comes to skincare, they are one of the popular skincare brands in Korea. I was lucky enough to get an opportunity to review there ever popular Tea Tree 90 Essence which has been a cult favorite product for years and has been featured in many magazines and beauty blogs

I got into a small skincare related accident/ adverse reaction a couple of days back due to my own negligence( didn't read Te label of an acid toner carefully and ended up damaging my skin) my skin was red and blotchy and there was swelling I was afraid that this reaction will darken my skin over time due to chemical burns.  my skin has reached a point where injuries/wounds leave hyper pigmented scars. So a frantic search through my skincare stash o found the  Leejiham Tea Tree 90 Essence and has a lot of claims to sooth the skin and reduce irritation that i decided to take the risk and apply it to my face. And was so surprised when this actually  saved my skin and helped it calm down. It reduced the redness and reduced the flare up on my skin. My skin is better now thankfully

 Tea tree is actually quite popular agent for acne and inflammation and this essence contains 90% tea tree 🙆. I have been eyeing a lot of tea tree skincare products fro a fairly long time and I am so happy that I tried this out

The vial is a frosted white glass and has such a cute small glass dropper to dispense product. Its does not smells like tea tree though which disappointed me a tiniest bit ( I love the scent of tea tree its so refreshing). this contains 50 ml product which may seem little as this essence a tad bit on the expensive side but no worries as 2-3 drop are sufficient to cover the whole face 

 the texture is very thin and light weight so it absorbs into the skin after a couple of pats. I usually take 3 drops of this and pat it onto the chin and cheeks (places where i get most acne) hyper pigmentation or blemishes.It looks luminous and healthy

 My skin produces less oil every time I apply this to my face. This is a morning time essence for me as my skin produces most oil during the day. Serums /essence like these are best for people who have oily/ acne prone skin. I am very impressed by Tea tree performance and would definitely purchase skincare/ makeup products which contain tea tree as one of their star ingredients

retails for 45$ at Glow recipe website

please note that this is the new packaging of the essence

 

5/5 💎💎💎💎💎

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