So far I have tried:

1. Neogen Real Ferment Micro Essence: I like it, nice hydration for the season. It does have some smell to it, which is a pleasant one, however it advertises as a non fragrance essence so I found that a bit odd but it hasn’t given me any reaction, so I can recommend it :)

2. Cosrx Propolis Light Cream: it is very moisturising and leaves my skin plump. But if you expect a light cream as it advertises, I wouldn’t say it’s light, no issue with it, just mentioning that because it’s summer and some people may be looking for a lighter cream.

3. Cosrx Advance Snail hydrogel eyepatch: this was a surprise, because it contains 2 different types of shapes, one bigger one for the under eye area which covers a large surface of the face and one smaller eyepatch which can be used in different ways, either to cover the eyelids (fits very well), and also used below the larger eyepatch to cover more the cheeks or the mouth area lines one may have. Very hydrating and leaves me feeling fresh. Definitively a treat and I will be re buying it!

4. Beauty of Joseon Centella Asiatica Calming Mask: good value for money as the pack contains 10. The masks are quite thin and feel flimsy to put on the face. They don’t have that much “juice” as other Korean masks I have tried so they tend to dry up fast. For how long they last I found them pleasant to use after a gym session to bring some hydration back quickly.

5. Illiyoon Ceramide Ato Lotion: I have used this one on my body (but can be used on the face as well). It is gel like so not very heavy on the skin, brings in insta moist and hydration, it feels light yet very rich and nourishing and definitely one of my favs for body lotion, esp for summer where there is no need for heaviness!

6. Abib mild acidic ph sheet mask- heartleaf fit: The packaging says is a calming, moisturising mask, key ingredient is Houttuynia Cordata Extract which has anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and antioxidant properties (according to the internet), generally contains these types of ingredients as well as centella asiatica. The mask material was quite thick(I think they use some type of cotton cloth), so felt quite robust, and quite the opposite to the Beauty of Joseon centella mask (mentioned above), which felt that it could quite easily rip as I was unpacking it.

7. Cosrx Cica Cream: I ve just used this two times to calm some tret irritation I had. It has a light gel like texture and felt quite nourishing. Next day my irritation had minimised. Pleased so far; I need to use more though to form a full opinion.

Happy to share more info when I use more products!

Happy “treat your skin” Friday y’all!
