I wanted to test it on my own, that's why last year I ordered Nivea UV Deep Protect & Care Tone-up Essence - a new tone-up sunscreen released by Nivea in 2023. Is it better than what we have in Europe and the US? </div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">What's UV? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">UV stands for Ultraviolet, it's nothing else than the selected range of frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum. UV rays are not visible to humans but it doesn't mean that they don't exist. Each type of UV - UVA, UVB and UVC has different wavelengths and different properties. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
UVA, UVB and UVC - what does each of them do and where you can meet them? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I'm sure you know about UVA and UVB but UVC or the difference between UVA2 and UVA1? Let's start from the shortest wavelengths - UVC (100nm - 280nm) exist in space and is absorbed by the ozone layer, it can kill bacteria that's why on Earth you can find it in germicidal lamps - you might ask me, but these lamps are usually visible to a human - it's because they are made in a way that makes them safe for you and other people - you shouldn't enter the room when the UV lamp is on and make people aware that the lamp is on we add other substances so the lamp has a blue/purple colour when it's on. This technology is used for example at labs and hospitals. We all remember UVB (280nm –315nm) because it is said that B in UVB stands for BURN. Indeed, this UV length is responsible for sunburns, but it also helps with the synthesis of Vitamin D - a vitamin which we all need because lack of it can lead to osteoporosis. UVB is focused on the epidermis aka the outer layer of the skin while UVA (315nm –400nm) can penetrate through the epidermis and dermis so it penetrates your skin deeper. A in its name stands for Aging. The bad news is that UVA can penetrate glass, and both UVA and UVB cause lots of damage including skin cancer and oxidative stress. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/96mYKX9.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Nivea UV Deep Protect & Care Tone-up Essence" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/96mYKX9.jpeg" title="Nivea UV Deep Protect & Care Tone-up Essence" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Should I wear sunscreen at home? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">We already know that UVA penetrates through the glass so do we need to use sunscreen at home? Yes, especially if you spend lots of time working near the window then it's better to put on a layer of sunscreen in the morning and have any type of protection at home as well. But you can also use window films to reduce the risk. The choice is left to you, what I do is keep my blinds on the window during the entire morning and when the sun is not that intense because my windows are situated on the Eastern side the light usually starts to fade afternoon - usually by afternoon I already have sunscreen on, few times reapplied. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
What's the difference between mineral and chemical sunscreen? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">It depends on which side we look at this topic. Mineral sunscreens are sunscreens that don't contain any carbon atoms - this automatically makes them inorganic sunscreens. Chemical sunscreens contain carbon atoms, which makes them organic substances. The main difference is that mineral sunscreen usually leaves a white cast, and it's better if we use both Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide for a broad spectrum of UV protection. Chemical sunscreens don't leave a white cast, and they have more sophisticated formulas. Both are amazing, in some cases, PIH (hyperpigmentation), mineral sunscreens, and natural pigments can make a good layer of protection from UV rays. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/N9wCT9s.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Nivea UV Deep Protect & Care Tone-up Essence" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/N9wCT9s.jpeg" title="Nivea UV Deep Protect & Care Tone-up Essence" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
About Nivea </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Is there anyone who doesn't know Nivea? But still, let's go back straight to 1882 when Paul Carl Beiersdorf on March 28 patented the medical-coated plaster (called Guttaperchapflastermulle), but eight years later Oskar Troplowitz took over the company. With help from Dr Isaac Lifschütz - a chemist, and Prof. Paul Gerson Unna - a dermatologist, Dr Oskar Troplowitz invents Eucerit - an emulsifier typical for Nivea products. The Eucerin brand name came from the name of this emulsifier. In 1911 Nivea released the most popular moisturizer you can ever hear of - Nivea Cream. My grandma to this day keeps all meaningful things to her in a huge Nivea metal box. The blue-white aesthetic is not a new thing, but it's not the first design of Nivea, this design was used in 1925. During the IIWW the brand got through many challenges, but in 1950 Nivea and Beiersdorf started to regain popularity and work hard on new products like Nivea Ultra-Oil to protect the skin from the sun, and Nivea Milk - a body lotion. Since then brand created lines such as Nivea Baby, Nivea Men and many innovative products. The brand had a great marketing strategy to focus on regular people in the older days, but in 2019 the brand went through some controversies related to marketing. It's nothing unusual, I feel like controversies around marketing are a normal thing because we live in times when an advertisement has to be focused on different elements and different groups of society. Let's change the topic for a while, do you know what Nivea means? The word 'Nix' means snow, but 'Niveus' means white like snow, and it's not a racist slogan, but the texture of the cream is white like snow. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Nivea in Japan </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">The majority of websites suggest that Nivea started to produce products for the Japanese market in 1971, while Japanese Wikipedia says it was in 1968. Nivea started to manufacture and sell products in Japan by Nivea Kao. Yes, in Japan Nivea is not fully owned by Beiersdoft, it's a joint venture between Beiersdorf and Kao. The formulas of sunscreens in Japan and Europe sold by Nivea are totally different. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/kTFkfAa.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Nivea UV Deep Protect & Care Tone-up Essence" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/kTFkfAa.jpeg" title="Nivea UV Deep Protect & Care Tone-up Essence" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Nivea UV Deep Protect & Care Tone-up Essence - Packaging </span> </h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Japanese brands always surprise me with the idea of packaging, since while in other countries we can see the trend of paper or recycled paper packaging, Japan is using paper and plastic. The tube itself is made out of very soft plastic - easy to use, I enjoyed it. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu1amqyVrPgCxiA-HC4eojus7pWU_zEp__sEYAz3it9mSfk6TYjvlY0hfOd1JwMnsKbsgJPJ3Zc3iLjJuGFLprnPeh1nC6NaQBCU4Elv_5ehpyzQF2oqLvoHDh29lWRGDo0QJIu1icsv8gI6huL1wAnbaXK_WP6pa2boon4ZaMr45UnHKRZEkudS81WvYp/s1080/IMG_20240308_225405_332.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Nivea UV Deep Protect & Care Tone-up Essence" border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="864" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu1amqyVrPgCxiA-HC4eojus7pWU_zEp__sEYAz3it9mSfk6TYjvlY0hfOd1JwMnsKbsgJPJ3Zc3iLjJuGFLprnPeh1nC6NaQBCU4Elv_5ehpyzQF2oqLvoHDh29lWRGDo0QJIu1icsv8gI6huL1wAnbaXK_WP6pa2boon4ZaMr45UnHKRZEkudS81WvYp/s16000/IMG_20240308_225405_332.png" title="Nivea UV Deep Protect & Care Tone-up Essence" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Nivea UV Deep Protect & Care Tone-up Essence - Texture & Scent </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">It's a tone-up essence so the texture is like a lightweight lavender cream. It has a rose scent, it's not too heavy but I believe some people might not like it. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/u01IFo2.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Nivea UV Deep Protect & Care Tone-up Essence" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/u01IFo2.jpeg" title="Nivea UV Deep Protect & Care Tone-up Essence" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Nivea UV Deep Protect & Care Tone-up Essence - Ingredients </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote>Water, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Alcohol, Butylene Glycol, Trehalose, Caprylyl Methicone, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Isopropyl Palmitate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Titanium Dioxide, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, Diisopropyl Sebacate, Ethylhexyl Triazone, Polysilicone-15, Silica Dimethyl Silylate, Lonicera Japonica (Honeysuckle) Flower Extract, Hydrolyzed Conchiolin Protein, Leontopodium Alpinum Flower/Leaf Extract, Pyrus Cydonia (Quince) Seed Extract, Glycerin, Phytosteryl/Octyldodecyl Lauroyl Glutamate, Polymethylsilsesquioxane, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Lauroyl Lysine, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose Stearoxy Ether, Sodium Dilauramidoglutamide Lysine, C30-45 Alkyl Methicone, C30-45 Olefin, Barium Sulfate, Iron Oxides, Aluminum Hydroxide, Dimethicone, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Hydroxide, BHT, Methylparaben, Fragrance, Ci 41599, Ci 17200 </blockquote></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Water</b> hides in cosmetic products under names such as Aqua or Eau. It's a solvent, but it's not your regular drinking water. Water in skin care needs to fit some standards. It should be clean and free from minerals, microorganisms or other substances. Usually, water makes up the majority of the content of the product. <b>Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate</b> or Octinoxate is a sunscreen agent. It protects your skin from UVB radiation (280-320 nm), but it has its peak at 310nm. It's a common ingredient in waterproof sunscreens. <b>Alcohol</b> is an immense topic in skincare. Alcohol can be good or bad for your skin, but sometimes the amount makes a poison. Alcohol, after all, is a prominent solvent. It makes active substances penetrate the skin deeper. This effect has its cost - the skin is getting a bit irritated. Some substances can be dissolved only in alcohol. This ingredient has antibacterial properties. It works as a preservative by preventing microorganisms from growing in the product. It has some awful sides too - it can dry your skin, mainly if we use it in large amounts. Sensitive skin is not a fan of this ingredient. <b>Butylene Glycol</b> is a common ingredient in products. It's not only a solvent. We use butylene glycol because it helps with the penetration of active ingredients, protects products from drying and moisturizes skin and hair. This ingredient can prevent hair loss and make your hair stronger. <b>Trehalose</b> is a disaccharide. We all know that sugar is awesome for the skin. What does it do? Trehalose similar to other sugars has water-binding properties. Trehalose kinda acts like NMF (Natural Moisturizing Factor). <b>Caprylyl Methicone </b>is an alkylmethyl silicone and emollient. It has a waxy texture, and it makes the product easier to apply. It works great with natural ingredients and pigment. It's a volatile silicone so you don't have to worry - it disappeared almost right after application. <b>Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate</b> or Uvinul A Plus is a sun-protecting agent. It covers the UVA range (320-400 nm), and its peak of protection is 354 nm. <b>Isopropyl Palmitate</b> is a dry emollient that doesn't have any scent. It prevents skin from TEWL (transepidermal water loss). <b>Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride</b> is a combination of coconut oil and glycerin. It's a notable emollient, quite common in skincare. It leaves a protective film on the surface of the epidermis to save your cutis from dehydration. Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride has a significant role in skin care products - it makes the application process effortless. Some people might experience pore-clogging after using Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride but pore-clogging and skin reactions to ingredients are individual. What works for you might not work for someone else. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Titanium Dioxide (Ci 77891)</b> is a mineral (or physical) sunscreen agent. It protects your skin from UVB and UVA II radiation and might cover some lower waves in the UVA I spectrum. It has a typical white colour visible on the skin, unless it's a nano version then this white tint might not be visible at all. This ingredient has a second task - it works as a pigment. Titanium Dioxide works perfectly for skin that needs visible protection like skin with melasma, nice that white pigment works as a barrier or protective film on the skin. It has one additional task, it makes products stay fresh a bit longer. <b>Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine</b> is quite a hard name to remember, that's why you can find people talking about this ingredient by calling it Tinosorb S. It's one of the newer types of sunscreen agents and one of the strongest ones. It's a chemical sunscreen that protects skin from UVA (315-400 nm) & UVB (280-315 nm), and its peak is high. It's a stable sunscreen that works with other sun-protecting substances to protect their early photodegradation. <b>Diisopropyl Sebacate</b> is an emollient common in sunscreens since it helps create a nice formula, it's also common in lip products. <b>Ethylhexyl Triazone</b> or Uvinul T 150 is a sun-protecting agent. It covers the UVB range (280-320nm). Its peak is at 314 nm. <b>Polysilicone-15</b> might sound like a normal ingredient, but the other name of this ingredient is Parsol SLX. You're right! It's a sun-protecting ingredient. It protects your skin from UVB radiation (290-320 nm) and its peak is around 310 nm. It makes a great pair with Avobenzone. It's quite common in hair care products. <b>Silica Dimethyl Silylate</b> is an emulsifier and thickener. It's a silicone polymer that prevents skin and hair from dehydration by creating a film. It works well with pigment. <b>Lonicera Japonica (Honeysuckle) Flower Extract</b> is a source of flavonoids and saponins. It's an antibacterial ingredient with anti-inflammatory properties. <b>Pyrus Cydonia (Quince) Seed Extract </b>is a soothing extract with moisturizing properties. It's a source of polysaccharides like arabinose. <b>Glycerin</b> or Glycerol is a humectant. Its origin can be natural or synthetic - depending on the product. It protects TEWL (transepidermal water loss) and naturally occurs in the skin. It's one of the NMFs - natural moisturizing factors. It's practical in hair care. Glycerin won't clog your skin or irritate it just the opposite - it protects your skin from irritation. <b>Phytosteryl/Octyldodecyl Lauroyl Glutamate</b> is an emollient. <b>Polymethylsilsesquioxane</b> is a silicone that protects your skin from dehydration by creating a film on the surface of the skin. Silicones have a positive meaning to your skin - they make products easier to spread, make the formula more elegant and even protect skin and hair. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer </b>is a synthetic polymer and quite a large molecule. It works as a thickener and emulsion stabiliser. <b>Lauroyl Lysine</b> helps create the texture. It makes hair and skin soft. Acne-prone skin might not enjoy it. <b>Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose Stearoxy Ether</b> is a thickener. <b>Sodium Dilauramidoglutamide Lysine </b>is an emulsifier with moisturizing properties. <b>C30-45 Alkyl Methicone</b> makes skin soft in touch. It's mostly used in makeup and sunscreens. <b>Barium Sulfate</b> or CI 77120 is a pigment. It protects the skin since it's an ingredient that works like a barrier between skin and light. It brightens the skin and it can mask the imperfections. It might work in sunscreens as a stabilizer. Three different pigments might hide under the name <b>Iron Oxides</b>. Meet a trio made out of three different pigments: Ci 77491, Ci 77492 and Ci 77499. Red, yellow and black are the colours used to match our skin shade. <b>Aluminum Hydroxide</b> or CI 77002 is a white pigment and emollient. It's used in antiperspirants since it absorbs sweat and sebum. It's also a coating ingredient for UV-protecting ingredients. <b>Dimethicone</b> is a silicone and polymer. <b>Phenoxyethanol</b> is a preservative that lots of people try to demonize. The truth is that Phenoxyethanol is gentle on the skin, and has antiseptic properties. <b>Sodium Hydroxide </b>is a pH adjuster. <b>BHT</b> or Butylated Hydroxy Toluene is quite a controversial ingredient. This synthetic substance is an antioxidant and preservative - in skincare up to 0,1% in a product. You don't have to be scared of this preservative. According to CIR (Cosmetic Ingredient Review), it's a safe ingredient. <b>Methylparaben</b> is a preservative. It's an ingredient that protects the product from bacteria and microbes. It can be derived from grapefruit seeds. It's an ingredient you don't have to be scared of, but during pregnancy, it's better to avoid it. <b>Fragrance (Parfum) </b>is a scent composition. It can cause allergic reactions. <b>CI 17200 </b>or Red 33 is a blue red pigment. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/1hAQNBr.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Nivea UV Deep Protect & Care Tone-up Essence" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/1hAQNBr.jpeg" title="Nivea UV Deep Protect & Care Tone-up Essence" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
How does Nivea UV Deep Protect & Care Tone-up Essence work? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">There are two things you should know about me - I don't have good experience with Japanese sunscreens, and so far tone-up creams didn't work well on my skin. Even if tone-up sunscreens like <a href="https://www.kherblog.com/2022/08/rohto-skin-aqua-tone-up-uv-essence-spf.html" target="_blank">Skin Aqua</a> matched my skin, the formula itself didn't work with my skin. I was a bit worried that Nivea might have the same problem because this formula contains alcohol. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Let's start with texture. This sunscreen is very lightweight and easy to spread, even if it can take a while. At first, I was a bit sceptic that it might not provide good protection, but I was wrong. I love this delicate rose/purple tint, but I thought it was not as visible as it can be on darker skin. I'm not joking, I do spot notice the difference sometimes, but I believe the darker your skin is, the more visible this product is on the skin. We have to remember that the Japanese market has different needs than the EU or US. Lots of products in Japan have brightening or even skin-whitening properties, and it's deeply related to culture. It's common to see in countries like Japan or Korea women using UV-protecting clothes or umbrellas during summer. When you buy tone-up creams in Japan, expect that you might look like a ghost in it, because many of them have pink, purple or green undertone to brighten the skin and cover redness. Some women wear tone-up sunscreens instead of foundations during summer. So keep in mind that this product is not for everyone, but the positive thing is that there's also a regular, non-tone-up version. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">It reflects the light and makes the skin tone more even. You can even spot some shine or "glitter" on the texture photo. No, it's not a highlighter, it's Nivea UV Deep Protect & Care Tone-up Essence. This sunscreen contains Hydrolyzed Conchiolin Protein. It's an ingredient derived from Pearl. Nivea uses its 3-Dimension Film technology to ensure that sweat or water won't remove the product easily and that every micro part of our skin is protected including wrinkles. The film created on the skin is supposed to move right with our skin and wrinkles, and I strongly believe that a reflective layer not only provides sun protection but also makes wrinkles less visible. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">This is a product recommended for people with pigmentation, and the main target group are women above 30. Although, Nivea itself (or I should say Beiersdorf) have a great patent on ingredients that inhibit tyrosinase - I'm talking about Thiamidol. You won't see this ingredient here, but Nivea in Japan is not worse, the brand has its own solutions in the local market that are also innovative. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Although it contains alcohol, it doesn't make my skin dry or it doesn't sting my eyes. I usually have bad experiences with alcohol in cosmetics, especially sunscreens. This ingredient is popular in Japanese sunscreens. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Does it leave marks on clothes? I didn't see that, but even if this sunscreen protects from UVA & UVB. It's a broad-spectrum sunscreen with waterproof features. It's even recommended for outdoor sports enthusiasts. Still, I would recommend reapplying it a few times per day. I enjoy this sunscreen, and I even consider repurchasing it. It was released in 2023 and I believe the brand didn't upgrade the formula this year. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/p2lN1Ao.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Nivea UV Deep Protect & Care Tone-up Essence" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/p2lN1Ao.jpeg" title="Nivea UV Deep Protect & Care Tone-up Essence" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Where to get Nivea UV Deep Protect & Care Tone-up Essence, and how much does it cost? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I bought <a href="https://www.yesstyle.com/en/nivea-japan-uv-deep-protect-care-tone-up-essence-spf-50-pa-clear-rose/info.html/pid.1120052141?rco=BETWEENDOTS&utm_term=BETWEENDOTS&utm_medium=Influencer&utm_source=dynamic&mcg=influencer" target="_blank">Nivea UV Deep Protect & Care Tone-up Essence* </a>on <a href="https://www.yesstyle.com/en/nivea-japan-uv-deep-protect-care-tone-up-essence-spf-50-pa-clear-rose/info.html/pid.1120052141?rco=BETWEENDOTS&utm_term=BETWEENDOTS&utm_medium=Influencer&utm_source=dynamic&mcg=influencer" target="_blank">YesStyle*</a>, at the moment it costs $10.64.

The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate and The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate Cream<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/rn8ni34.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate and The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate Cream" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/rn8ni34.jpeg" title="The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate and The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate Cream" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I bet you heard that once you turn 25, your skin starts to age because it's a year collagen starts to decrease. The aging process is inevitable, but we can slow it down. The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics line is supposed to help with aging and wrinkles, but at the same time, it's focused on the skin microbiome to maintain a healthy skin barrier. Thanks to Jee & Ju, I was able to try The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate and The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate Cream. Is this an ideal line for your skin? </div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">About The Pure Lotus </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Pure Lotus is a K-beauty brand which I know because of the beautiful packaging. The brand is focused on Lotus from Jeju, an island which is an inspiration and source of ingredients for many companies. And it's not only about skincare! The Pure Lotus has a Cosmetic Cert Jeju certification which tells you that the products made by the brand are from Jeju. They also obtained EU certification which is something I barely see in K-beauty. EU law in my opinion is quite strict if it comes to the skincare and food industry (you're hearing that from a person who had to study both). The main star of The Pure Lotus products is the White Lotus Leaf. The Pure Lotus is a vegan-friendly brand. It's also important to add that the brand is not only focused on skin or hair, but The Pure Lotus has its own inner beauty line. Thankfully, the brand doesn't sell supplements, but tea! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">It's not my first journey with The Pure Lotus, I've tried this brand before, but the Youth Biotics series looks completely different from the previous series. It looks more majestic. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/THpVMKE.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate and The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate Cream" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/THpVMKE.jpeg" title="The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate and The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate Cream" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Why Lotus? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Lotus is a source of antioxidants. It's rich in flavonoids and polysaccharides. It's also important to add that Lotus has anti-aging properties. The lotus used in The Pure Lotus products is obtained from Jeju Island - a pure island also known as the island of the Gods. Jeju is one of the Unesco World Heritage Sites. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/9iUW4B3.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate and The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate Cream" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/9iUW4B3.jpeg" title="The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate and The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate Cream" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">

The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate - Texture & Scent </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I'm not sure what are your expectations when you see concentrate in the name of the product, but The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate is like a lightweight cream or creamy serum. It has a delicate, pleasant scent. Maybe a bit like some citrus, but it's hard to describe it. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">

It's a solvent, but it's not your regular drinking water. Water in skin care needs to fit some standards. It should be clean and free from minerals, microorganisms or other substances. Usually, water makes up the majority of the content of the product. <b>Propanediol</b> is also known as natural glycol - an alternative to propylene glycol. Propanediol is a solvent with additional moisturizing properties. It makes the product smooth to the touch. It can even improve the effectiveness of active ingredients. <b>Polyglycerin-3 </b>is a humectant since this ingredient is made out of glycerin molecules. It helps promote active ingredients deeper.<b> Nelumbo Nucifera Leaf Extract </b>(34,490 ppm) or Lotus Leaf Extract is an antioxidant with anti-aging properties. <b>Glycerin</b> or Glycerol is a humectant. Its origin can be natural or synthetic - depending on the product. It protects TEWL (transepidermal water loss) and naturally occurs in the skin. It's one of the NMFs - natural moisturizing factors. It's practical in hair care. Glycerin won't clog your skin or irritate it just the opposite - it protects your skin from irritation. <b>Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil </b>is an emollient and a source of vitamin E. The structure of jojoba oil is very similar to human sebum, that's why all skin types shouldn't be scared of this oil. It creates a delicate, non-oily film barrier on the surface of the skin. It helps to restore your hydrolipid barrier. Jojoba oil can be applied straight onto the skin. In hair care, jojoba oil makes hair stronger and hydrated. PS. Jojoba oil isn't an oil, but a waxy ester. <b>1,2-Hexanediol</b> is a synthetic solvent and preservative - it protects products from microorganisms by boosting other preservatives. At the same time, it can moisturize the skin, and it has no unpleasant effects on your epidermis. Olivem 1000 is a combination of <b>Cetearyl Olivate </b>and <b>Sorbitan Olivate</b>. It's a natural emulsifier, and beauty companies use it to create an oil-in-water emulsion. Worth mentioning it's a biodegradable formula. <b>Squalane</b> is an ingredient very similar to our sebum. Squalane and squalene sound similar, but there's a difference. Squalane has no double bonds while squalene has double bonds. What does it mean? Squalane is a more stable version of squalene. What I love about this ingredient is how well it works with all skin types, and how our skin needs it. Believe me, if your skin is irritated - go for squalane! This ingredient is usually derived from sugarcane or olives. It acts like an emollient and you need it in your life. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/O01SlH3.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate and The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate Cream" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/O01SlH3.jpeg" title="The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate and The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate Cream" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Butylene Glycol</b> is a common ingredient in products.

Panthenol is also known as vitamin B5, and it helps with inflammation. Panthenol can soothe the skin irritated by preservatives, scent ingredients, and chemical sunscreens - it might have a meaning for lipids in our skin and skin barrier. It speeds up the healing process. It's good to use it after sunbathing. In hair care, Panthenol has moisturizing properties. If you have problems detangling your hair or hair growth go for Panthenol. It is good to mix it with niacinamide and zinc oxide. You can see it in products for atopic dermatitis or psoriasis. Xanthan Gum is a polysaccharide that works as a thickener. <b>Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer </b>is a polymer that works as an emulsifier and thickener. Lactobacillus Ferment is a probiotic with a positive effect on the microbiome of the skin. This soothing ingredient can moderate sebum production and help with acne since it has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. <b>Adenosine</b> naturally occurs in the skin. One of the adenosine's roles in our bodies is being a neurotransmitter. In skin care, we use adenosine for its anti-wrinkle properties. Adenosine is an anti-inflammatory ingredient. It can boost collagen production. At the same time, it speeds up the healing process. Adenosine can have positive effects on reducing redness. In hair care, adenosine can help with hair loss. <b>Disodium EDTA </b>neutralizes metal ions in the formula to keep products fresh. <b>Michelia Alba Flower Oil</b> is a flower oil obtained from magnolia. It's rich in linalool - a terpene alcohol, scent ingredient. <b>Malt Extract</b> is a dark syrup derived from barley, it's a source of many important elements for the skin. <b>Artemisia Capillaris Extract</b> is an ingredient that has stayed in skincare Kbeauty trends for a while now. Mugwort comes in many different forms. Artemisia Capillaris or Chinese Mugwort has other names like Yin Chen Hao, and it's not only a herb from traditional medicine. In some countries, you can find it in cuisine. It's an antioxidant with anti-inflammatory properties. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Centella Asiatica Extract </b>is probably the most popular extract in skincare. It comes under a few names - Asiatic pennywort, tiger grass or Gotu kola. Centella Asiatica's roots are in Ayurveda. This extract is successful because it's a source of triterpene saponins - madecassoside and asiaticoside. Centella Asiatica Extract has anti-inflammatory properties. It speeds up the wound-healing process. You can use it to treat acne since it has soothing and antibacterial properties. It boosts fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin or even helps with hyaluronic acid synthesis. Centella is recommended for rosacea and cellulitis since it helps with blood microcirculation. In hair care, Centella can help with hair growth. <b>Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Water </b>is a green tea hydrosol.

How does The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate work? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate is the first concentrate I've ever tried. I wasn't sure what's the idea behind this product. The short description of this product sounds like this: Moisture essence containing Jeju lotus fermented water. If this product is an essence then it's a thicker essence than I've ever tried because it reminds me of a lightweight cream. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">The magic ingredient in this product is Jeju Lotus Fermented Water. It takes 168 hours - 7 days to create this ingredient. It contains 34,490 ppm of Lotus Leaf Extract. The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate contains 8 probiotics & calming complex. The product is not only supposed to strengthen the skin barrier, but also moisturize the skin, and help with inflammation and wrinkles. The 8 probiotics & calming complex contains lactobacillus ferment, galactomyces ferment filtrate, bifida ferment filtrate, panthenol, alantoin, artemisia capillaris extract, centella asiatica extract and camellia sinensis leaf water. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Forget the details, I bet you wonder how to use The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate. I see that it's still difficult for many people where to put certain products in a routine and how to use them. Some products like VT Reedle Shot or The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate are problematic since we don't see them often. Lots of people use skincare products in order from lighter to the thickest texture and I also did that. I used this product right after the serum and before The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate Cream. The formula is lightweight and creamy, but it has a rich feeling too - you can easily feel how moisturizing this texture is while spreading. It's easy to apply, and The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate blend with skin easily. It doesn't sensitize the skin, it works with retinol, and the delicate scent is very satisfying. It might not work with every sunscreen, but my experience was good. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I honestly don't know what to tell you. I didn't expect miracles, and if it comes to moisturizing then The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate was an ideal moisturizer for winter time. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/u0QUtwS.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate and The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate Cream" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/u0QUtwS.jpeg" title="The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate and The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate Cream" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">

It's a notable emollient, quite common in skincare. It leaves a protective film on the surface of the epidermis to save your cutis from dehydration. Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride has a significant role in skin care products - it makes the application process effortless. Some people might experience pore-clogging after using Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride but pore-clogging and skin reactions to ingredients are individual. What works for you might not work for someone else. <b>Niacinamide</b> is a form of vitamin B3 - a vitamin soluble in water. It helps with problems like wrinkles, acne, skin texture, and enlarged pores and promotes collagen synthesis. Niacinamide makes the skin barrier stronger. It might be handy in cellulite treatments. Do you want to fight pigmentation or uneven skin? Try to mix niacinamide with Kojic Acid, Arbutin, Vitamin C, Tranexamic Acid or Retinol. <b>Cetearyl Alcohol</b> is a fatty alcohol. In the beauty industry, it's an emollient. Many people associate alcohol with something awful for the epidermis, but not every alcohol is nasty. Cetearyl alcohol leaves a moisturizing film on the skin to prevent your skin from transepidermal water loss (TEWL). We use Cetearyl alcohol to create an emulsion.<b> Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter</b> is a butter obtained from seeds of the Vitellaria paradoxa tree - a tree typical for Africa. It's an emollient rich in antioxidants like vitamin E or vitamin A. It's a source of oleic acid, stearic acid and linoleic acid. Shea butter is a well-moisturizing emollient that leaves a fine film on the skin and hair to protect from dehydration. It has soothing properties, and it might provide sun protection around SPF 2-4 (still, use proper sun-protecting agents instead of oils and butter for your safety).

How does The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate Cream work? </span> </h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate Cream is based on similar technologies as the serum from this series. The magic ingredient in this product is Jeju Lotus Fermented Water. It takes 168 hours - 7 days to create this ingredient. The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate contains 8 probiotics & calming complex. The product is not only supposed to strengthen the skin barrier, but also moisturize the skin, and help with inflammation and wrinkles. The 8 probiotics & calming complex contains lactobacillus ferment, galactomyces ferment filtrate, bifida ferment filtrate, panthenol, alantoin, artemisia capillaris extract, centella asiatica extract and camellia sinensis leaf water. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate Cream has a thick formula which in my opinion is more suitable for dry skin than for my combo/oily skin. Still, during winter time when my skin gets easily dehydrated - it's a product I was using to strengthen my skin barrier since it's a combo of probiotics. Even if it contains Niacinamide, my skin somehow enjoyed this cream. It didn't cause me any redness. I'm not sure if the product normally comes with a spatula, but that would be useful. The cream has a pleasant smell. I would see myself repurchasing it for the winter season. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/c2HYdNo.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate and The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate Cream" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/c2HYdNo.jpeg" title="The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate and The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate Cream" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">

Shiseido Eudermine Activating Essence Review<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/u81ggSD.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Shiseido Eudermine Activating Essence" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/u81ggSD.jpeg" title="Shiseido Eudermine Activating Essence" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Every brand with a long history has its cult product. Maybe your mother or grandma used such before and now you're using. Although Shiseido Eudermine Activating Essence has a long history, no one in my family has used it before. </div><span></span><span><a name='more'></a></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">About the brand - Shiseido </span></h3><div style="text-align: justify;">Shiseido is a Japanese company which history has started in Ginza, Tokyo in 1872. It was established by Arinobu Fukuhara - a Japanese pharmacist and cosmetician. In 1897 Shiseido introduced Eudermine - Shiseido's Red Water, a lotion that is still in stores. The brand expanded in 1923 and right now you can find Shiseido all over the world. Shiseido's history is rich, but if we skip to the 21st century then in 2017 Shiseido released its new line - Shiseido Waso. A line targetted for Millennials, based on innovative and exclusive formulas. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Eudermine is a product with a long history. The first version of this lotion was developed by Dr. Nagayoshi Nagai in 1897. Eudermine essence was also called Shiseido's Red Water because of its colour. The formula and packaging went through lots of changes - even if Shiseido's Red Water is no longer red, the packaging is still red and it has refills. It is said that it was Geishas' favourite product to use under heavy makeup since this formula not only brightens but nourishes and moisturizes the skin. In 1997 Shiseido celebrated the 100th birthday of Eudermine. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Shiseido Eudermine Activating Essence - Packaging </span></h3><div style="text-align: justify;">The packaging of Shiseido Eudermine Activating Essence has changed a lot, and I would say it's the most minimalistic packaging ever. I wouldn't probably try it if it wasn't the new design since I thought "Okay Shiseido has this new product I'm curious about". Anyway, let's go back to the packaging. The latest Shiseido Eudermine Activating Essence has a refill option. It comes in a paper box.
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Shiseido Eudermine Activating Essence - Texture & Scent </span></h3><div style="text-align: justify;">
Shiseido Eudermine is no longer a red water. I'm not joking, the texture colour was a bit problematic for me since when I poured it on my hand, the texture had a transparent colour. I see in ads that this texture has a delicate hint of red or pink shade. When you look at the ingredients, you can clearly see that Shiseido Eudermine contains pigments so this product must have some colour. I've decided to waste a few ml of the essence and I can confirm - this texture has a delicate red/pink hint.
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">
I find a scent to be a bit problematic, once again - look at the ingredients and you can see Alcohol in second place right after water. Is it bad? Not really, since alcohol has some good properties, but I always say that no matter if it comes to dietetics or cosmetics - the amount can change everything. I do smell alcohol in this texture and at the same time, you can smell a strong, floral scent. At first, it was too harsh a scent for me, but I got used to it. According to the brand, this scent is a combination of white floral base with jasmine sambac.

</blockquote></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>
Water</b> hides in cosmetic products under names such as Aqua or Eau. It's a solvent, but it's not your regular drinking water. Water in skin care needs to fit some standards. It should be clean and free from minerals, microorganisms or other substances. Usually, water makes up the majority of the content of the product. <b>Alcohol</b> is an immense topic in skincare. Alcohol can be good or bad for your skin, but sometimes the amount makes a poison. Alcohol, after all, is a prominent solvent. It makes active substances penetrate the skin deeper. This effect has its cost - the skin is getting a bit irritated. Some substances can be dissolved only in alcohol. This ingredient has antibacterial properties. It works as a preservative by preventing microorganisms from growing in the product. It has some awful sides too - it can dry your skin, mainly if we use it in large amounts. Sensitive skin is not a fan of this ingredient. <b>Dipropylene Glycol</b> is a solvent with moisturizing properties. <b>Butylene Glycol</b> is a common ingredient in products. It's not only a solvent. We use butylene glycol because it helps with the penetration of active ingredients, protects products from drying and moisturizes skin and hair. This ingredient can prevent hair loss and make your hair stronger. <b>Glycerin</b> or Glycerol is a humectant. Its origin can be natural or synthetic - depending on the product. It protects TEWL (transepidermal water loss) and naturally occurs in the skin. It's one of the NMFs - natural moisturizing factors. It's practical in hair care. Glycerin won't clog your skin or irritate it just the opposite - it protects your skin from irritation. <b>Diglycerin</b>, as the name says, is related to glycerin. It's a humectant and NMF (Natural Moisturizing Factor). <b>Potassium Methoxysalicylate</b> is a tyrosinase inhibitor, which is why sometimes this ingredient can be described as whitening or even bleaching. <b>Tyrosinase</b> is an enzyme needed for melanin production, that's why this type of ingredient is popular in products for discolouration, pigmentation or even skin whitening products. <b>Lactobacillus/Rice Ferment </b>is rich in antioxidants ingredient. It has a positive meaning for the skin's microbiome. It has soothing properties. <b>PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil </b>is an oil-in-water emulsifier. <b>Diphenylsiloxy Phenyl Trimethicone</b> is silicone, that helps spread the product on skin and hair. <b>2-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid</b> is a form of Vitamin C. It's an antioxidant and skin-brightening ingredient. It stimulates collagen (type I and III) and elastin production. It's better to use Vitamin C during the morning routine because it boosts the efficiency of sunscreen. Erythritol is a sugar alcohol, so it's not a surprise why brands use this ingredient in products - sugars have moisturizing properties. <b>Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate </b>is a soothing and antibacterial ingredient. For many people, it's the only acceptable form of Licorice. This ingredient has many positive meanings for the skin - it has moisturizing properties, and it can even lighten dark spots. Even sensitive skin should enjoy it. <b>Xanthan Gum</b> is a polysaccharide that works as a thickener. <b>Sodium Polyacrylate </b>is a thickener with a strong ability to absorb water. It helps with texture and it can create a film on the skin to prevent TEWL (transepidermal water loss). </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Citrus Junos (Yuzu) Fruit Extract </b>is a source of many important substances like vitamin C and hesperidin. In South Korea, this plant is called Yuja, in Japan - Yuzu and in China - Youzi. Japan has a tradition of yuzu baths during the winter solstice. Such a bath is supposed to help the immune system and make you more relaxed. In skincare, Citrus Junos (Yuzu) Fruit Extract is an antioxidant. This substance should help with acne and mature skin. Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate is related to sodium hyaluronate. It boosts moisture in the skin and elasticity. It helps prevent skin from TEWL (transepidermal water loss). <b>Sodium Hyaluronate</b> or sodium salt of hyaluronic acid. It's a form of hyaluronic acid and naturally occurs in the skin. Sodium Hyaluronate has strong water-binding properties. Sodium hyaluronate combined with elastin and collagen is like a scaffolding for the skin. It has hydrating properties and leaves a hydrating film on the skin, but sodium hyaluronate prevents skincare products from drying. <b>Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Leaf Extract</b> is an astringent with antibacterial properties. It's a source of quercetin, kaempferol, tannic acid and saponins. It might have soothing or anti-inflammatory properties as well. <b>Carbomer</b> is a synthetic thickener. <b>Polyglyceryl-2 Diisostearate</b> is an emulsifier. Potassium Hydroxide is a pH adjuster. <b>Disodium EDTA</b> neutralizes metal ions in the formula to keep products fresh. <b>Isostearyl Alcohol </b>is an emollient. <b>Isostearic Acid</b> is a surfactant and emulsifier.<b> Sodium Citrate</b> neutralizes metal ions, but it also adjusts the pH. <b>Citric acid</b> is an AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) - a delicate exfoliant and a buffering ingredient. It adjusts the pH of the formula. <b>Linalool</b> gives a floral scent to products. It can irritate the skin. Geraniol makes products smell like geranium. It can be sensitizing. <b>Hexyl Cinnamal</b> is an aromatic aldehyde. It naturally occurs in chamomile, and it adds a jasmine/floral scent to the product. It can be sensitizing. <b>Citronellol</b> is a scent ingredient. It adds a rose/floral scent to the product. It can be sensitizing.<b> Sodium</b> <b>Metabisulfite</b> is an antioxidant. A preservative, but it can cause allergic reactions. It reduces the oxidation of the haircare products. <b>Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone</b> is a scent ingredient. Limonene is a scent ingredient, and it makes the product smell like lemon or orange. Limonene can enhance the penetration of other substances, but at the same time, it can irritate the skin. <b>Phenoxyethanol</b> is a preservative that lots of people try to demonize. The truth is that Phenoxyethanol is gentle on the skin, and has antiseptic properties. <b>Fragrance (Parfum)</b> is a scent composition. It can cause allergic reactions. <b>Red 33</b> or CI 17200 is a blue-red pigment. <b>Yellow 5 Lake </b>or CI 19140 also known as Tartrazine is a synthetic yellow pigment. It's not common to have an allergy to this ingredient, but sensitivity to Tartrazine is possible.

How does Shiseido Eudermine Activating Essence work? </span></h3><div style="text-align: justify;">
I've been testing this essence for over 6 months. I had my ups and downs with this product.
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">
I have to go back to the packaging. Due to copyrights, I've decided to share with you links instead of photos of archive Shiseido Eudermine packaging. The packaging and advertisement of Shiseido's Eudermine have changed a lot. Somehow, the best graphics are available only on <a href="https://brand.shiseido.co.jp/eudermine.html" target="_blank">Japanese Shiseido's website</a>. At first, I was pretty sure it was a new Shiseido product because Shiseido Eudermine is not a product I can see being promoted in Europe or Poland, actually, I barely ever see Shiseido being promoted here, even Sephora is no longer selling Shiseido's makeup at the store - I can only order Shiseido products online. I love Shiseido Microliner, it's the only eyeliner that I can get in Europe that has the right shade, and thickness and it's suitable for my sensitive eyes.
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">
I was pretty sure Shiseido Eudermine was a new product, but the beauty expert at the store told me it was an old product, but the design was different. Obviously, there are some changes in the formula like Vitamin C and two different types of Hyaluronic Acid added to the product (if you wonder where are these two versions of HA, they are hidden as Sodium Hyaluronate and Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate). Want to hear an even better story? When you check Shiseido's website, you can see that 1897 Shiseido Eudermine is described as lotion, while the 2023 version is sold in Europe and the US as essence. Some words depending on the country can be used differently, like when I buy lotion in Japan, I expect a different product than in Korea. Japanese lotion is more liquid, and Korean is more creamy.
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">
When I checked websites in the local language, I felt like someone who translated product descriptions didn't know a thing about beauty. So, Shiseido Eudermine in Poland is introduced to the market as a "moisturizing cream", "serum", "toner", "water treatment", "skin-rebuilding facial balm" or "elixir". There might be some confusion, but some translations have no sense like moisturizing cream or balm.
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">
If it comes to the product itself, I got a few mixed feelings, because at first time I wasn't sure if it worked. The scent is a bit overwhelming and I needed some time to get used to it, but once winter came I started to appreciate this formula. Shiseido Eudermine is based on ActiveRED technology, this technology is supposed to help with absorption of ingredients that are helpful for the skin. Don't ask me how that works, because that's something I can't even prove if it works or not.
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">
I have to agree that this texture is rich and if you're worried about your skin moisture and you want to get an essence that should be easy to find at stores then Shiseido Eudermine wins. Although, I'm not sure about brightening or whitening properties because I use retinol with this product. If you start your retinol journey then be careful with this product since it contains Vitamin C and Alcohol so it might be a bit irritating.

How does Shiseido Eudermine Activating Essence work and where to get it? </span></h3><div style="text-align: justify;">
I bought Shiseido Eudermine Activating Essence at my local Sephora. I added my <a href="https://shopmy.us/collections/344569" target="_blank">Shopmy</a>* shelf if you want to order it and support my reviews. Shiseido Eudermine Activating Essence costs $90/145 ml on the official website so it's more expensive in Europe. In Japan, this essence costs 9, 680円 which is about $65, and I paid about $70, while the regular price in my country is $82. PS. Vintage-style Shiseido Eudermine is available on <a href="https://www.yesstyle.com/en/shiseido-eudermine-toning-lotion-200ml/info.html/pid.1076117871?rco=BETWEENDOTS&utm_term=BETWEENDOTS&utm_medium=Influencer&utm_source=dynamic&mcg=influencer" target="_blank">YesStyle</a>* and it costs $21.31/200ml. <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Catamaran, sans-serif; font-size: 12.1px; letter-spacing: 0.5px;">You can use my referral code </span><b style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: Catamaran, sans-serif; font-size: 12.1px; letter-spacing: 0.5px; line-height: 1.6; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">BETWEENDOTS</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Catamaran, sans-serif; font-size: 12.1px; letter-spacing: 0.5px;"> to save up to 5% on your YesStyle order. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">
Overall, it's a good product with a long tradition, but at least for my skin, it's mostly a product which my skin likes during colder months.

Laneige renewed its cult Laneige Cream Skin Refiner and released a new version. Is Laneige Cream Skin Cerapeptide™ Refiner better than the classic Laneige Cream Skin Refiner? </div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Is this a toner or an essence? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">What's a Cream Skin? Some toners in Korea are called "skin" so Laneige Cream Skin Refiner and Laneige Cream Skin Cerapeptide™ Refiner are nothing else than products which you can use instead of toner. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/iZhH8QT.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Laneige Cream Skin Cerapeptide™ Refiner" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/iZhH8QT.jpg" title="Laneige Cream Skin Cerapeptide™ Refiner" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">About Laneige </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">2019 was the year of the Laneige - Cream Skin series, new products in the Water Bank series, Laneige in Europe, Glow Makeup Serum and now Cica Mask! 2021 wasn't worse for the brand - retinol series. 2024 just started but Laneige lately introduced us to new Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Creams - in three different versions. Laneige is a brand with 30 years of tradition. Yes, Laneige was established in 1994 so this year Laneige turns 30! I guess we can expect some new collaborations, throwback products or something different this year. The owner of this company is Amore Pacific. The name Laneige comes from the French "La Neige", which means snow. Laneige focuses on water and technology. This brand knows how to keep your skin hydrated while fighting other skin problems, but it's not only about skincare! The Two-Tone Bar Lipstick used by actress Song Hye-Kyo in the K-drama Descendants of The Sun sold out quickly. I remember Two Toner Bar Lipstick better from Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo with Lee Sung-Kyung. Both actresses made an appearance in Laneige commercials. Actress Kim Yoo-Jung is currently the face of Laneige and Radian-C Cream. It's quite an affordable brand with sweet but not too sugary packaging. The packaging makes me believe that the main targets are teens and young adults. It's like a transition between Etude House and Sulwhasoo if Etude House is a teenage girl and Sulwhasoo is a mature lady. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Lately, you have probably seen Laneige in the K-drama "My Demon" - even the first episode had a cool product placement of Laneige Neo Cushion Matte in a renewed version. I got a new version which I'm testing for you, but meanwhile, you can check the review of the old version on Kherblog. You probably saw Kim Yoo Jung - the actress playing Do Do-hee in "My Demon" - in Laneige commercials. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/hUTWHn9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Laneige Cream Skin Cerapeptide™ Refiner" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/hUTWHn9.jpg" title="Laneige Cream Skin Cerapeptide™ Refiner" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Laneige Cream Skin Refiner </span> </h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Refiner was the first product from the Cream Skin series, I think I saw it first in Liah Yoo's photo (just like Laneige Cica Sleeping Mask). I enjoyed using the first version of Laneige Cream Skin a lot so when I saw that Laneige Cream Skin Cerapeptide™ Refiner is finally in Europe - I had to buy it! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/uwHZq3w.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Laneige Cream Skin Cerapeptide™ Refiner" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/uwHZq3w.jpg" title="Laneige Cream Skin Cerapeptide™ Refiner" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Laneige Cream Skin Cerapeptide™ Refiner - Packaging </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Laneige Cream Skin Cerapeptide™ Refiner comes in a minimalistic white box with blue text and a delicate, orange accent. The aesthetic fits the current, futuristic Laneige design. At the bottom of the box, we can find information that Laneige used FSC-certified paper, there's also information about recycling and information that "the water footprint of this product has been measured and certified". The PAO date of Laneige Cream Skin Cerapeptide™ Refiner is 12 months. I'm glad that Laneige has packaging with text in English, but there's also translation to French, German, Swedish, Polish and even Romanian, but somehow there's no text in Korean. Still, you can find that this product was made in Korea. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Inside the box, we can find a transparent bottle with a white cap. Currently, the bottle contains 170ml of refiner. The old bottle was only 150 ml. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Laneige Cream Skin Cerapeptide™ Refiner - Texture </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">The texture is like water but a bit thicker. It might remind you of diluted milk. The scent is creamy, but light. For me, the texture feels like a 1:1 copy of old texture, it might feel more hydrating on the skin, but I don't see the difference. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/ejRhQOD.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Laneige Cream Skin Cerapeptide™ Refiner" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/ejRhQOD.jpg" title="Laneige Cream Skin Cerapeptide™ Refiner" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Laneige Cream Skin Cerapeptide™ Refiner - Ingredients </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote>Water, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil, Isopentyldiol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Squalane, Polyglyceryl-10 Stearate, Glyceryl Stearate Citrate, Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate, Inulin Lauryl Carbamate, Glyceryl Caprylate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Propanediol, Disodium EDTA, Carbomer, Mannitol, Acrylates/Stearyl Methacrylate Copolymer, Tremella Fuciformis Sporocarp Extract, Hyaluronic Acid, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Xanthan Gum, Ceramide NP, Camellia Japonica Flower Extract, Tocopherol, Acetyl Tetrapeptide-11 </blockquote></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Water</b> hides in cosmetic products under names such as Aqua or Eau. It's a solvent, but it's not your regular drinking water. Water in skin care needs to fit some standards. It should be clean and free from minerals, microorganisms or other substances. Usually, water makes up the majority of the content of the product. <b>Butylene Glycol</b> is a common ingredient in products. It's not only a solvent. We use butylene glycol because it helps with the penetration of active ingredients, protects products from drying and moisturizes skin and hair. This ingredient can prevent hair loss and make your hair stronger. <b>Glycerin</b> or Glycerol is a humectant. Its origin can be natural or synthetic - depending on the product. It protects TEWL (transepidermal water loss) and naturally occurs in the skin. It's one of the NMFs - natural moisturizing factors. It's practical in hair care. Glycerin won't clog your skin or irritate it just the opposite - it protects your skin from irritation. <b>Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil</b> is an emollient rich in Vitamin E and A. This ingredient creates a film on the surface of the skin. <b>Isopentyldiol</b> is a humectant and solvent. It makes products easier to spread. <b>1,2-Hexanediol</b> is a synthetic solvent and preservative - it protects products from microorganisms by boosting other preservatives. At the same time, it can moisturize the skin, and it has no unpleasant effects on your epidermis. <b>Squalane</b> is an ingredient very similar to our sebum. Squalane and squalene sound similar, but there's a difference. Squalane has no double bonds while squalene has double bonds. What does it mean? Squalane is a more stable version of squalene. What I love about this ingredient is how well it works with all skin types, and how our skin needs it. Believe me, if your skin is irritated - go for squalane! This ingredient is usually derived from sugarcane or olives. It acts like an emollient and you need it in your life. <b>Polyglyceryl-10 Stearate </b>is an emulsifier with moisturizing properties. <b>Glyceryl Stearate Citrate</b> is a water-in-oil emulsifier. <b>Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate</b> is an oil-in-water emulsifier. <b>Inulin Lauryl Carbamate</b> is an emulsifier. <b>Glyceryl Caprylate</b> is a natural oily emollient and emulsifier. It creates a delicate film on the surface of the skin. It has some antimicrobial properties. <b>Ethylhexylglycerin</b> is a preservative with subtle moisturizing and antimicrobial properties. Propanediol is also known as natural glycol - an alternative to propylene glycol. <b>Propanediol</b> is a solvent with additional moisturizing properties. It makes the product smooth to the touch. It can even improve the effectiveness of active ingredients. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/QDYGDJc.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Laneige Cream Skin Cerapeptide™ Refiner" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/QDYGDJc.jpg" title="Laneige Cream Skin Cerapeptide™ Refiner" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Disodium EDTA</b> neutralizes metal ions in the formula to keep products fresh. <b>Carbomer</b> is a synthetic thickener. <b>Mannitol</b> is a sugar, and sugars in skincare have moisturizing properties. <b>Acrylates/Stearyl Methacrylate Copolymer</b> is a film-forming ingredient. <b>Tremella Fuciformis Sporocarp Extract</b>, Silver Ear Fungus Extract or Snow Mushroom Extract is a polysaccharide and moisturizing antioxidant. It's a source of glucuronic acid and it has some anti-inflammatory properties. <b>Hyaluronic Acid</b> is an ingredient loved by everyone! Hyaluronic acid naturally occurs in the skin. It's a glycosaminoglycan or GAG. What does that mean? It's a long polysaccharide - nothing else than sugar, and we all know what sugars do in the skin. It's not different from Hyaluronic Acid - it acts like a humectant. One HA molecule is supposed to hold up to 1000x heavier molecules than this one single HA molecule. Hyaluronic acid can have different molecular weights - smaller molecules are usually more hydrating than bigger ones.<b> Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract</b> is an antioxidant - it fights free radicals and fixes the damage. Green tea is a source of many positive-to-the-skin substances such as catechins (EGCG, EGC, EC, CG), flavonoids, amino acids, vitamin C, and minerals. It works for all skin types. Since it has antibacterial properties, many products for young, acne-prone skin contain this ingredient. It has soothing properties, and it's good to use it along with sunscreen to boost the protection of your skin. <b>Xanthan Gum</b> is a polysaccharide that works as a thickener. Ceramides naturally occur in the skin - it's like cement in the skin.<b> Ceramide NP </b>(also known as Ceramide 3) strengthens the skin barrier to prevent dehydration. <b>Camellia Japonica Flower Extract</b> is an antioxidant. Camellia Japonica has a long history of use in beauty. It's a source of gallic acid, superoxide dismutase and Camellioside A - a triterpenoid. It has anti-inflammatory and anti-aging properties. <b>Tocopherol</b> is an antioxidant known as Vitamin E. It's an oil-soluble vitamin that fights free radicals and makes UVB protection and natural lipid barrier stronger. It's good to mix it with vitamin C for better effects. Oily skin might react with pore-clogging to vitamin E. It is not true that vitamin E works as a preservative or helps with scars.<b> Acetyl Tetrapeptide-11 </b>is a synthetic peptide. It contains leucine, proline and tyrosine amino acids. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/2wBuvH8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Laneige Cream Skin Cerapeptide™ Refiner" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/2wBuvH8.jpg" title="Laneige Cream Skin Cerapeptide™ Refiner" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
How does Laneige Cream Skin Cerapeptide™ Refiner work? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I want to introduce you to the product first and then share my experience with you. Laneige Cream Skin Cerapeptide™ Refiner is introduced to the market as a product for people who are tired of layering. I'm not tired of layering, I treat it as a super hydrating toner for wintertime since during summer Cream Skin texture is too rich for me. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Cerapeptide™ in the new Refiner is a combination of hydro-ceramide and 2 types of peptides to provide moisture, firming and a stronger skin barrier to the skin. Laneige uses Micro Blending Technolog™ to make products easily absorbed by the skin. The particles of Cerapeptide are smaller than originally, due to Micro Blending Technolog™ the size of particles is 1/300 of its original size. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Laneige Cream Skin Cerapeptide™ Refiner is recommended for dry to normal skin. I got combo skin, but I still use Laneige Cream Skin Cerapeptide™ Refiner because it's so hydrating. Laneige Cream Skin Cerapeptide™ Refiner is created for people who deal with dry, patchy skin which makes makeup look blotchy, for people who have to deal with air-conditioning and heater and for people who can't have proper skincare due to skin sensitivity to the products. That's something I can relate to since my skin gets dry when I have to deal with an air-con or heater. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/y4BNnwH.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Laneige Cream Skin Cerapeptide™ Refiner" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/y4BNnwH.jpg" title="Laneige Cream Skin Cerapeptide™ Refiner" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">You can use it as a toner or as a mist - sadly, I didn't see the pump or refills being sold in Poland, but there are refills for this version (that aren't sold in Poland as well). Yes, you can buy an additional pump. I found one while making this post on <a href="https://www.yesstyle.com/en/laneige-cream-skin-cerapeptide-mist-pump-1-pc/info.html/pid.1119542334?rco=BETWEENDOTS&utm_term=BETWEENDOTS&utm_medium=Influencer&utm_source=dynamic&mcg=influencer" target="_blank">YesStyle</a>* and <a href="https://global.oliveyoung.com/if/rd?su=PX705HMF" target="_blank">Olive Young</a>*, sadly the one at Olive Young is sold out at the moment. Refills similar to full-size Laneige Cream Skin Cerapeptide™ Refiner bottle has 170 ml of the formula. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I'm a fan of both versions since the texture is very similar and hydrating, they don't sensitize my skin and the only thing I'm sad about is packaging, because even if I love this new Laneige aesthetic, I miss the old, glass bottle. It wasn't convenient to travel with but it felt so nice. On the other hand, the new bottle contains 20ml more of the Cream Skin formula than the old bottle. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Laneige Cream Skin Cerapeptide™ Refiner is supposed to be more hydrating, the skin is supposed to stay deeply hydrated for up to 120 hours. That's something I can't check, but it does feel like it's a hydrating toner. This version contains 2x white leaf tea which is supposed to calm skin and relieve redness for about 40% in comparison to the old version. I do see that my skin gets less red when I use it than when I don't use it. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/MyVJrX6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Laneige Cream Skin Old Version" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/MyVJrX6.jpg" title="Laneige Cream Skin Old Version" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Laneige Cream Skin Old Version </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote>Water, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil, 1,2-Hexanediol, Polyglyceryl-10 Stearate, Glyceryl Stearate Citrate, Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate, Inulin Lauryl Carbamate, Glyceryl Caprylate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Propanediol, Disodium EDTA, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Tocopherol </blockquote></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">New ingredients in 2nd version: Isopentyldiol, Squalane, Carbomer, Mannitol, Acrylates/Stearyl Methacrylate Copolymer, Tremella Fuciformis Sporocarp Extract, Hyaluronic Acid, Xanthan Gum, Ceramide NP, Camellia Japonica Flower Extract, Acetyl Tetrapeptide-11 </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I'm a fan of both formulas and for me, White Leaf Tea, Acetyl Tetrapeptide-11, Snow Mushroom, Squalane and Ceramide NP are not a problem, but I know some people are not fans of Hyaluronic Acid. For me, this composition is totally fine and I think this formula is worth a try.

COSRX The 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum is one of the last products released by COSRX in 2023. What's so good in peptides and COSRX that makes people go for this product? Do you need a booster in your routine? </div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Yes, the last time I wrote about COSRX was 2 years ago, even if last year in Warsaw I bought COSRX Ceramide Cream, but there were no upgrades, so I didn't feel like writing another post about it. I do plan to write more about routines, trends, etc but so far 2024 started and it's quite busy. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/MWJZZ1G.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="COSRX The 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/MWJZZ1G.jpg" title="COSRX The 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">About COSRX </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">COSRX is a South Korean brand which you might know from the internet, it's a huge brand - the beauty community loves COSRX products. COSRX was founded in 2013, the name COSRX stands for
COSmetics + RX(Prescription). Lots of beauty bloggers love COSRX, and there's one reason why COSRX got so big - the product quality and the affordable price. COSRX for me was one of the first K-beauty brands I tried, and I keep buying their Acne Pimple Master Patches all the time - in the US it's different, but in Europe getting acne patches is not an easy thing. Even if COSRX is mostly known for their acne-prone skincare products they make their formulas simple and universal so even if your skin is dry you might be still able to use them - oily skin can get dehydrated as well. COSRX is a cruelty-free brand, and that's another good point of this brand, but it's not a vegan brand since it uses snail mucin, beeswax, propolis, etc. In late 2023 Amorepacific acquired COSRX shares which makes COSRX Amorepacific's subsidiary. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">
COSRX The 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum </div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">According to COSRX, The 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum is a product based on 6 potent peptides. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/kMbCtZb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="COSRX The 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/kMbCtZb.jpg" title="COSRX The 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
COSRX The 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum - Packaging </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I don't see that COSRX would put as much effort into packaging as I see lately. Many brands are focusing on making their products more sustainable. COSRX use FSC-certified paper. When you open the paper box, you can see that the pump cap is made out of PP (Polypropylene), the Pump is listed as OTHER, the plastic bottle is PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) and the label can be removed and it's also PP. Inside the box, you can find a manual. The bottle contains 150ml of booster serum. There's also a 30ml version available. The text on the paper box is in both Korean and English, the manual inside has information in Korean, English, Norwegian, French, Spanish, Swedish, German, Finnish, Polish, Italian, Portugal, Romanian, Danish, Czech, Bulgarian, Greek, Dutch, Hungarian and Turkish. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/1jHxpWP.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="COSRX The 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/1jHxpWP.jpg" title="COSRX The 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
COSRX The 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum - Texture & Scent </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">COSRX The 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum texture is similar to essence. After all, COSRX tells us that it's a serum, even if many stores name it only booster, not booster serum. It's a lightweight, but hydrating texture that gets absorbed quickly. I do not smell any specific scent in this product. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/n2fBLOs.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="COSRX The 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/n2fBLOs.jpg" title="COSRX The 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
COSRX The 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum - Ingredients </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote>Water, Dipropylene Glycol, Glycerin, Pentylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Niacinamide, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer, Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6, Butylene Glycol, Xanthan Gum, Ethylhexylglycerin, Adenosine, Polyquaternium-51, Disodium EDTA, Citric Acid, Caprylyl Glycol, Betaine, t-Butyl Alcohol, Sodium PCA, Sodium Lactate, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Copper Tripeptide-1, PCA, sh-Polypeptide-121, Serine, Alanine, Allantoin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Acetyl Glucosamine, Glycine, Glutamic Acid, Lysine HCl, Threonine, Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate, Arginine, Tocopherol, Oligopeptide-68, Proline, Dextran, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-8, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Oleate </blockquote></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Water</b> hides in cosmetic products under names such as Aqua or Eau. It's a solvent, but it's not your regular drinking water. Water in skin care needs to fit some standards. It should be clean and free from minerals, microorganisms or other substances. Usually, water makes up the majority of the content of the product. <b>Dipropylene Glycol </b>is a solvent with moisturizing properties. <b>Glycerin</b> or Glycerol is a humectant. Its origin can be natural or synthetic - depending on the product. It protects TEWL (transepidermal water loss) and naturally occurs in the skin. It's one of the NMFs - natural moisturizing factors. It's practical in hair care. Glycerin won't clog your skin or irritate it just the opposite - it protects your skin from irritation. <b>Pentylene Glycol</b> is mostly a solvent and stabilizer, but it has great moisturizing properties. <b>1,2-Hexanediol </b>is a synthetic solvent and preservative - it protects products from microorganisms by boosting other preservatives. At the same time, it can moisturize the skin, and it has no unpleasant effects on your epidermis. <b>Niacinamide</b> is a form of vitamin B3 - a vitamin soluble in water. It helps with problems like wrinkles, acne, skin texture, and enlarged pores and promotes collagen synthesis. Niacinamide makes the skin barrier stronger. It might be handy in cellulite treatments. Do you want to fight pigmentation or uneven skin? Try to mix niacinamide with Kojic Acid, Arbutin, Vitamin C, Tranexamic Acid or Retinol. <b>Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer</b> is a polymer with thickening properties. <b>Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6</b> is a thickener, it helps create elegant, non-sticky formulas. <b>Butylene Glycol</b> is a common ingredient in products. It's not only a solvent. We use butylene glycol because it helps with the penetration of active ingredients, protects products from drying and moisturizes skin and hair. This ingredient can prevent hair loss and make your hair stronger. <b>Xanthan Gum</b> is a polysaccharide that works as a thickener. <b>Ethylhexylglycerin</b> is a preservative with subtle moisturizing and antimicrobial properties. <b>Adenosine</b> naturally occurs in the skin. One of the adenosine's roles in our bodies is being a neurotransmitter. In skin care, we use adenosine for its anti-wrinkle properties. Adenosine is an anti-inflammatory ingredient. It can boost collagen production. At the same time, it speeds up the healing process. Adenosine can have positive effects on reducing redness. In hair care, adenosine can help with hair loss. <b>Polyquaternium-51</b> is a synthetic humectant. <b>Disodium EDTA</b> neutralizes metal ions in the formula to keep products fresh.<b> Citric acid</b> is an AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) - a delicate exfoliant and a buffering ingredient. It adjusts the pH of the formula. <b>Caprylyl Glycol </b>is an oily emollient and humectant. It leaves a moisturizing film on the surface of the skin. <b>Betaine </b>is an amino acid. In skincare products, we use it for its moisturizing properties. Betaine keeps the water balance of the skin. It makes wrinkles appear less visible, and it soothes irritated skin. In hair care, betaine doesn't only moisturize the hair. It makes hair soft and shiny. Betaine in cosmetics usually comes from sweet beetroots. It naturally occurs in the skin and hair. <b>t-Butyl Alcohol</b> is a solvent with a scent similar to camphor. It's common in perfumes. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/pm2mtdd.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="COSRX The 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/pm2mtdd.jpg" title="COSRX The 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Sodium PCA</b> is a humectant. Sodium Lactate regulates the pH of the product, but it also helps with the moisture of the skin. <b>Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 </b>is a synthetic peptide (sometimes called neuropeptide or biomimetic peptide). Lots of brands and media did a great job marketing this substance. That's why you can spot it with names such as Botox-like peptides or treatments. It won't give you the same effects as Botox, but there are some similarities. Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 can help with wrinkles by decreasing the visibility of wrinkles and fine lines created by repetitive movements of muscles. Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 inhibits SNARE complex and catecholamine release. It can stimulate collagen synthesis, and it has powerful, water-binding properties. That's why acetyl hexapeptide-8 might increase the moisture of the skin. It's better to use this peptide near the eye area to prevent fine lines in the eye area. Unless you have drooping eyelids, then the use of acetyl hexapeptide-8 is not recommended for you. If you have muscle problems, it's better to consult with your doctor or PT first, before adding acetyl hexapeptide-8 to your routine. Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 can hide under the name Argireline or Acetyl Hexapeptide-3. <b>Copper Tripeptide-1 </b>is a peptide created with three amino acids: glycine, histidine and lysine + copper. It boosts collagen and elastin production. It's super useful in wound healing - especially for acne-prone skin. Copper Tripeptide-1 is an antioxidant that stimulates hair growth and prevents hair loss. PCA or Pyroglutamic Acid is a humectant. <b>sh-Polypeptide-121</b> is a biomimetic human collagen, this ingredient is vegan. This peptide acts like Collagen type 21 in our skin. It helps with wrinkles and skin elasticity. sh-Polypeptide-121 is a biomimetic human collagen, this ingredient is vegan. This peptide acts like Collagen type 21 in our skin. It helps with wrinkles and skin elasticity. Serine is an amino acid and one of the substances in the natural moisturizing factor (NMF). It's a humectant with anti-ageing properties. In hair care, it has antistatic properties. <b>Alanine</b> is an amino acid. It can delicately help with moisture of the skin and it has anti-static properties. <b>Allantoin</b> is an ingredient that naturally occurs in our bodies, but brands usually go for the synthetic form of this substance. It comes from comfrey or soybean roots. It's a humectant with soothing and wound-healing properties. <b>Sodium Hyaluronate</b> or sodium salt of hyaluronic acid. It's a form of hyaluronic acid and naturally occurs in the skin. Sodium Hyaluronate has strong water-binding properties. Sodium hyaluronate combined with elastin and collagen is like a scaffolding for the skin. It has hydrating properties and leaves a hydrating film on the skin, but sodium hyaluronate prevents skincare products from drying. <b>Acetyl Glucosamine</b> is a precursor of Hyaluronic Acid. It's an ingredient that helps with skin brightening and elasticity. <b>Glycine</b> is an amino acid. Glycine is one of the components found in collagen. It has moisturizing properties and it helps with wrinkles. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/KusWBQl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="COSRX The 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/KusWBQl.jpg" title="COSRX The 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Glutamic Acid</b> is an amino acid that naturally occurs in the human body. It's a humectant that helps with the right pH of the skin.<b> Lysine HCl </b>is an amino acid salt. It stimulates hair growth and adds moisture to hair and skin. It has anti-static properties, it helps with wrinkles too. <b>Threonine</b> is an amino acid with a positive influence on the skin since threonine helps with collagen and elastin synthesis. It makes your skin look smooth. It also has a positive meaning for the hair, it protects hair from break, has antistatic properties and makes curly hair look better. <b>Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate</b> might sound weird, but you probably know it as Syn-Ake. It's a peptide that is supposed to work like botox and some people even call it a botox in a jar. It's supposed to relax your face and make wrinkles less visible. <b>Arginine</b> is an amino acid. It helps with protein biosynthesis in adults. According to research from 1964, a lack of arginine might raise your chance of getting an HSV infection. <b>Tocopherol</b> is an antioxidant known as Vitamin E. It's an oil-soluble vitamin that fights free radicals and makes UVB protection and natural lipid barrier stronger. It's good to mix it with vitamin C for better effects. Oily skin might react with pore-clogging to vitamin E. It is not true that vitamin E works as a preservative or helps with scars. <b>Oligopeptide-68 </b>or ß-White is an encapsulated biomimetic peptide. It has brightening properties. Usually, we see ingredients that brighten the skin by inhibiting tyrosinase, but this peptide is inhibiting the MITF factor. <b>Proline</b> is an amino acid. It has anti-aging properties, it boosts skin elasticity. Proline + Vitamin C is a great combination for mature skin. <b>Dextran</b> is a polysaccharide which means it's a sugar. Every sugar in skincare has moisturizing properties. <b>Palmitoyl Tripeptide-8 </b>is a synthetic peptide also known as Neutrazen. This peptide has calming properties. It helps with irritation after UV exposure. <b>Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil</b> is an emollient with a neutral scent. This oil is a source of flavonoids, lecithin, vitamin E, linoleic and oleic acids. It works as an oily emollient, and it's a good oil for massages. <b>Hydrogenated Lecithin</b> is a version of lecithin. It works as an emollient in the formulas. <b>Potassium Sorbate</b> is a water-soluble preservative. It's a weak preservative, and it should be paired with another preservative. <b>Sodium Oleate</b> is an emulsifier. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/34ZNnCx.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="COSRX The 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/34ZNnCx.jpg" title="COSRX The 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
How to mix COSRX The 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum with other COSRX products? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">You can layer this booster or mix it with Retinol, Niacinamide, Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid or Snail Mucin. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/K2rckIq.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="COSRX The 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/K2rckIq.jpg" title="COSRX The 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
How does COSRX The 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum work? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Let's be honest, our skincare routines are already sumptuous - we use a few different toners, and serums for each part of the skin or we rotate products depending on part of the day. So is booster going to be a new trend? I don't think so. Even COSRX says this product can be used instead of toner, as the first product to use after cleanser. I'm almost 30, so I find products like COSRX The 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum great, especially during winter when my skin needs rich products and textures. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">The main key of COSRX The 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum is peptides. Each peptide in this product has a different property. sh-Polypeptide-121 boosts collagen, Copper Tripeptide-1 changes texture, Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate is supposed to help with sebum and pore care. Oligopeptide-68 brightens the skin, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-8 has soothing properties and Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 is a firming ingredient. I have to admit that my skin reacts quite well to niacinamide in this booster which is something I didn't expect. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/xYJuH2F.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="COSRX The 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/xYJuH2F.jpg" title="COSRX The 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Cosrx recommends using this product as a second step, right after cleansing and before moisturizer and sunscreen. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I won't tell you that this product changed my skin, but it's a product I would recommend for mature skin or if you're 25+ and you want to take the first steps in taking care of your skin. COSRX The 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum has such a name because this product is supposed to boost active ingredients in serums and creams you use after booster serum. That's something I can't test, but so far I don't see facial hair growing faster, and that's something I usually deal with when I see Copper Tripeptide-1 in product. The texture is more like essence which makes it super hydrating, but at the same time, it absorbs quickly. It doesn't leave any sticky film on the surface of the skin. It kinda reminds me of rich essences in sheet masks or essences in toner pads. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/Rdy3OCS.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="COSRX The 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/Rdy3OCS.jpg" title="COSRX The 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">

I do. Even if we have still some time before spring, and somehow the new Innisfree Cherry Blossom series fits winter aesthetically, I've decided to do a little throwback to the old design. I thought that I'd never review Innisfree Love, Glow & Bloom set, but this version is still available in many countries. Is the Innisfree Cherry Blossom series a hidden pearl from this brand? </div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">About Innisfree </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Innisfree is a Korean brand founded in 2000, this brand belongs to Amore Pacific. Their products are based on natural ingredients from Jeju - now you know why some series contain the words 'Jeju'. They have a good recycling program, unfortunately, it doesn't work in Europe - but if you live in Korea or any other country where Innisfree has a shop you can probably leave the empty bottle there. Innisfree has arrived in the US and Europe lately. Their Green Tea Serum is one of the best-selling products. In 2021 Innisfree released the retinol formula. I'm a fan of Innisfree campaigns - especially upcycling beauty which I hope to share with you soon. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/tdv8LmY.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Innisfree Love, Glow & Bloom Set" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/tdv8LmY.jpg" title="Innisfree Love, Glow & Bloom Set" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">One thing which I have noticed, Amore Pacific is an owner of many amazing beauty brands like Hera, Laneige, Sulwhasoo, illiyoon and more. Moreover, Amore Pacific is an owner of Vital Beautie which is an inner beauty brand created by AP. I'm not a fan of supplements, but Vital Beautie has some products for slimming that contain green tea - I'm so old that I remember when Sephora in Poland promoted some green tea solution to help with sleeping - I was a child back then, but my cousin who was staying with us used to drink lots of green tea, and that's how I remember this ad. It makes more sense why Innisfree has the Green Tea and Black Tea series when I tell you that Amore Pacific is also a mother company of O'Sulloc - a premium tea brand. In 2023 Innisfree went for the rebranding and the Cherry Blossom line went through rebranding as well, so if you order Innisfree from Korea you will probably get these products in white packaging. In Europe, the US or Australia, you might still get the pre-rebranding products. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/dGGpekm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Innisfree Dewy Glow Toner with Jeju Cherry Blossom" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/dGGpekm.jpg" title="Innisfree Dewy Glow Toner with Jeju Cherry Blossom" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Innisfree Dewy Glow Toner with Jeju Cherry Blossom - Packaging </span> </h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Innisfree Dewy Glow Toner with Jeju Cherry Blossom comes in this plastic pink bottle.

Innisfree Dewy Glow Toner with Jeju Cherry Blossom - Texture & Scent </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">It's a liquid toner and Innisfree Dewy Glow Toner with Jeju Cherry Blossom smells like cherry, the scent is a bit too heavy for me. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Innisfree Dewy Glow Toner with Jeju Cherry Blossom - Ingredients </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;">Water/Aqua/Eau, Propanediol, Niacinamide, Glycerin, Betaine, 1,2-Hexanediol, PPG-13-Decyltetradeceth-24, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Octyldodeceth-16, Sodium Metaphosphate, Glyceryl Caprylate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Fragrance/Parfum, Prunus Yedoensis Leaf Extract, Tocopherol </div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div></blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Water</b> hides in cosmetic products under names such as Aqua or Eau. It's a solvent, but it's not your regular drinking water. Water in skin care needs to fit some standards. It should be clean and free from minerals, microorganisms or other substances. Usually, water makes up the majority of the content of the product. <b>Propanediol</b> is also known as natural glycol - an alternative to propylene glycol. Propanediol is a solvent with additional moisturizing properties. It makes the product smooth to the touch. It can even improve the effectiveness of active ingredients. Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3 - a vitamin soluble in water. It helps with problems like wrinkles, acne, skin texture, and enlarged pores and promotes collagen synthesis. <b>Niacinamide</b> makes the skin barrier stronger. It might be handy in cellulite treatments. Do you want to fight pigmentation or uneven skin? Try to mix niacinamide with Kojic Acid, Arbutin, Vitamin C, Tranexamic Acid or Retinol. <b>Glycerin</b> or Glycerol is a humectant. Its origin can be natural or synthetic - depending on the product. It protects TEWL (transepidermal water loss) and naturally occurs in the skin. It's one of the NMFs - natural moisturizing factors. It's practical in hair care. Glycerin won't clog your skin or irritate it just the opposite - it protects your skin from irritation. <b>Betaine</b> is an amino acid. In skincare products, we use it for its moisturizing properties. Betaine keeps the water balance of the skin. It makes wrinkles appear less visible, and it soothes irritated skin. In hair care, betaine doesn't only moisturize the hair. It makes hair soft and shiny. Betaine in cosmetics usually comes from sweet beetroots. It naturally occurs in the skin and hair. <b>1,2-Hexanediol</b> is a synthetic solvent and preservative - it protects products from microorganisms by boosting other preservatives. At the same time, it can moisturize the skin, and it has no unpleasant effects on your epidermis. <b>PPG-13-Decyltetradeceth-24 </b>is an emulsifier and surfactant. <b>Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride</b> is a combination of coconut oil and glycerin. It's a notable emollient, quite common in skincare. It leaves a protective film on the surface of the epidermis to save your cutis from dehydration. Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride has a significant role in skin care products - it makes the application process effortless. Some people might experience pore-clogging after using Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride but pore-clogging and skin reactions to ingredients are individual. What works for you might not work for someone else. <b>Octyldodeceth-16</b> is an emulsifier. <b>Sodium Metaphosphate</b> regulates the pH of the product. <b>Glyceryl Caprylate </b>is a natural oily emollient and emulsifier. It creates a delicate film on the surface of the skin. It has some antimicrobial properties. <b>Ethylhexylglycerin</b> is a preservative with subtle moisturizing and antimicrobial properties. <b>Fragrance (Parfum)</b> is a scent composition. It can cause allergic reactions. <b>Prunus Yedoensis Leaf Extract </b>is also known as Jeju Blossom, Sakura Extract or Yoshino cherry leaf extract. This extract has anti-inflammatory properties and it's a source of amygdalin. Tocopherol is an antioxidant known as Vitamin E. It's an oil-soluble vitamin that fights free radicals and makes UVB protection and natural lipid barrier stronger. It's good to mix it with vitamin C for better effects. Oily skin might react with pore-clogging to vitamin E. It is not true that vitamin E works as a preservative or helps with scars. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/0e0Jttl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Innisfree Dewy Glow Emulsion with Jeju Cherry Blossom" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/0e0Jttl.jpg" title="Innisfree Dewy Glow Emulsion with Jeju Cherry Blossom" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">

Innisfree Love, Glow & Bloom aka Innisfree Cherry Blossom Series - is it worth it? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">First of all, I love the idea of the Innisfree Love, Glow & Bloom set. Packed in eco packaging shaped like a heart. In Europe, it was sold more as a Valentine's Day set than a spring set since even in Poland I got Chinese cherry trees in front of my windows, and in general, you can spot lots of cherry, apple and magnolia trees, still somehow cherry blossom is not as celebrated as in Japan or Korea. I'm a sucker for Cherry Blossom limited editions - just look back when Laneige (Innisfree's sister brand) released its cherry blossom special edition. Innisfree and Laneige both belong to Amorepacific. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I wish I would love this Innisfree Cherry Blossom Series, but sadly after a few days of using toner, emulsion and cream, I found out that this series is making my skin red because of the amount of niacinamide. It happens, especially if your skin is sensitive (sensitive skin might have problems with niacinamide).

Many brands are trying to focus on trending ingredients, but when you learn about Korean skincare, you might find brands like Hanyul that choose traditional solutions with a modern twist over trends. Hanyul Yuja Vita-C™ Serum is not the newest product on the market, but it's a serum you should know. </div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/bKSWoAT.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Hanyul Yuja Vita-C™ Serum" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/bKSWoAT.jpg" title="Hanyul Yuja Vita-C™ Serum" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">About Hanyul </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Hanyul is a Korean skincare brand. It's one of the brands from the Amorepacific portfolio - the same company that owns Laneige, Innisfree, Sulwhasoo, IOPE or Hera. Hanyul is a brand that mixes technology and tradition. The products are based on local raw ingredients such as mugwort, red rice or beans. It's one of the hanbang brands since Hanyul formulas are focused on traditional Korean medicine. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/Gn6TsCC.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Hanyul Yuja Vita-C™ Serum" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/Gn6TsCC.jpg" title="Hanyul Yuja Vita-C™ Serum" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
What's Hanbang? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Hanbang skincare is a term related to skincare whose roots are in Korean Traditional Medicine. Many skincare products these days are based on ingredients that are common in traditional medicine like ginseng or mugwort. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
What's Yuja? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I write a lot about Yuja lately, but it's one of the ingredients I appreciate. Yuja (Korean name) or Yuzu (Japanese name) is a citrus fruit. It is said that this ingredient has its origins in China and it became popular in Korea during the Tang dynasty. Yuja hides in skincare as Citrus Junos, and it's a source of Vitamin C. It's an antioxidant used in skincare and cuisine. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/GXoFV5J.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Hanyul Yuja Vita-C™ Serum" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/GXoFV5J.jpg" title="Hanyul Yuja Vita-C™ Serum" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Hanyul Yuja Vita-C™ Serum - Packaging </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I didn't have the original serum packaging since I bought Hanyul Yuja Vita-C™ Serum in a set, but the set packaging was made out of paper and it was fully in Korean. Inside I found a Hanyul Yuja Vita-C™ Serum tube with 10 ml of serum and full, 30 ml Hanyul Yuja Vita-C™ Serum. There's also a product from the Artemisia series, but I ended up not testing it. The serum bottle has a pump and you can easily see when the serum is going to end since the pump is coming up more and more with every use. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/gXGnT7R.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Hanyul Yuja Vita-C™ Serum" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/gXGnT7R.jpg" title="Hanyul Yuja Vita-C™ Serum" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Hanyul Yuja Vita-C™ Serum - Texture & Scent </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">The texture of the Hanyul Yuja Vita-C™ Serum is nice for oily and combo skin. It has a hydrating texture, free from a sticky feeling. The tiny capsules inside Hanyul Yuja Vita-C™ Serum are getting easily into the skin giving it a luminous, radiant look. This serum smells like citrus fruit, not everyone will enjoy this scent, but I'm a fan. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/41nGY5Y.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Hanyul Yuja Vita-C™ Serum" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/41nGY5Y.jpg" title="Hanyul Yuja Vita-C™ Serum" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Hanyul Yuja Vita-C™ Serum </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote>Water, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Niacinamide, 1,2-Hexanediol, Cnidium Officinale Root Water, Angelica Acutiloba Root Water, Behenyl Alcohol, Panthenol, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Limonene, Citrus Junos (Yuja) Peel Oil (5,000 ppm), Tromethamine, Carbomer, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Daucus Carota Sativa (Carrot) Root Extract, Taurine (1,000 ppm), Ethylhexylglycerin, Adenosine, Citrus Junos (Yuja) Fruit Extract (262 ppm), Disodium EDTA, Linalool, 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, Poncirus Trifoliata Fruit Extract, Beta-Carotene, Tocopherol, Ascorbic Acid, Citrus Junos (Yuja) Peel Extract (6 ppm) </blockquote></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Water</b> hides in cosmetic products under names such as Aqua or Eau. It's a solvent, but it's not your regular drinking water. Water in skin care needs to fit some standards. It should be clean and free from minerals, microorganisms or other substances. Usually, water makes up the majority of the content of the product. <b>Butylene Glycol </b>is a common ingredient in products. It's not only a solvent. We use butylene glycol because it helps with the penetration of active ingredients, protects products from drying and moisturizes skin and hair. This ingredient can prevent hair loss and make your hair stronger. <b>Glycerin</b> or Glycerol is a humectant. Its origin can be natural or synthetic - depending on the product. It protects TEWL (transepidermal water loss) and naturally occurs in the skin. It's one of the NMFs - natural moisturizing factors. It's practical in hair care. Glycerin won't clog your skin or irritate it just the opposite - it protects your skin from irritation. <b>Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride</b> is a combination of coconut oil and glycerin. It's a notable emollient, quite common in skincare. It leaves a protective film on the surface of the epidermis to save your cutis from dehydration. Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride has a significant role in skin care products - it makes the application process effortless. Some people might experience pore-clogging after using Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, but pore-clogging and skin reactions to ingredients are individual. What works for you might not work for someone else. <b>Niacinamide</b> is a form of vitamin B3 - a vitamin soluble in water. It helps with problems like wrinkles, acne, skin texture, and enlarged pores and promotes collagen synthesis. Niacinamide makes the skin barrier stronger. It might be handy in cellulite treatments. Do you want to fight pigmentation or uneven skin? Try to mix niacinamide with Kojic Acid, Arbutin, Vitamin C, Tranexamic Acid or Retinol. <b>1,2-Hexanediol </b>is a synthetic solvent and preservative - it protects products from microorganisms by boosting other preservatives. At the same time, it can moisturize the skin, and it has no unpleasant effects on your epidermis. <b>Cnidium Officinale Root Water</b> is a root water of an anti-inflammatory herb. <b>Angelica Acutiloba Root Water </b>or Kitagawa has anti-inflammatory properties. It's an ingredient from traditional medicine. <b>Behenyl Alcohol</b> might sound scary, but it's a fatty alcohol. This type of alcohol is positive for the skin since it works as an emollient. It helps with the texture of the product. <b>Panthenol</b> is a humectant. It prevents skin from TEWL (Transepidermal Water Loss). Panthenol is also known as vitamin B5, and it helps with inflammation. Panthenol can soothe the skin irritated by preservatives, scent ingredients, and chemical sunscreens - it might have a meaning for lipids in our skin and skin barrier. It speeds up the healing process. It's good to use it after sunbathing. In hair care, Panthenol has moisturizing properties. If you have problems detangling your hair or hair growth go for Panthenol. It is good to mix it with niacinamide and zinc oxide. You can see it in products for atopic dermatitis or psoriasis. <b>Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil</b> is a source of linoleic acid and vitamin E. Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil works as an emollient. Sometimes you can see it as a carrier oil for other substances. It has anti-inflammatory properties and makes the skin barrier stronger. This oil should work on all types of hair porosity. <b>Limonene</b> is a scent ingredient, and it makes the product smell like lemon or orange. Limonene can enhance the penetration of other substances, but at the same time, it can irritate the skin. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/AGBQJLM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Hanyul Yuja Vita-C™ Serum" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/AGBQJLM.jpg" title="Hanyul Yuja Vita-C™ Serum" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Citrus Junos (Yuzu) Peel Oil </b>(5,000Ppm) is an essential oil. In South Korea, this plant is called Yuja, in Japan - Yuzu and in China - Youzi. Japan has a tradition of yuzu baths during the winter solstice. Such a bath is supposed to help the immune system and make you more relaxed. Citrus Junos (Yuzu) Peel Oil is used in products for its scent. <b>Tromethamine</b> is a synthetic pH adjuster. A <b>Carbomer</b> is a synthetic thickener. <b>Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer</b> is a synthetic polymer and quite a large molecule. It works as a thickener and emulsion stabiliser. <b>Daucus Carota Sativa (Carrot) Root Extract </b>is a source of potassium, calcium, zinc, carotene, and saponins. It's an antioxidant that gives skin a delicate tint. <b>Taurine</b> (1,000 ppm) is an amino acid that helps with blood circulation and hydration. It makes dull skin more radiant. <b>Ethylhexylglycerin</b> is a preservative with subtle moisturizing and antimicrobial properties. <b>Adenosine</b> naturally occurs in the skin. One of the adenosine's roles in our bodies is being a neurotransmitter. In skin care, we use adenosine for its anti-wrinkle properties. Adenosine is an anti-inflammatory ingredient. It can boost collagen production. At the same time, it speeds up the healing process. Adenosine can have positive effects on reducing redness. In hair care, adenosine can help with hair loss.<b> Citrus Junos (Yuzu) Fruit Extract </b>(262 ppm) is a source of many important substances like vitamin C and hesperidin. In South Korea, this plant is called Yuja, in Japan - Yuzu and in China - Youzi. Japan has a tradition of yuzu baths during the winter solstice. Such a bath is supposed to help the immune system and make you more relaxed. In skincare, Citrus Junos (Yuzu) Fruit Extract is an antioxidant. This substance should help with acne and mature skin. <b>Disodium EDTA </b>neutralizes metal ions in the formula to keep products fresh. <b>Linalool</b> gives a floral scent to products. It can irritate the skin.<b> 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid</b> or Ethyl Ascorbic Acid is a form of Vitamin C. This form is very stable in both oil and water. It's an antioxidant and skin-brightening ingredient. It stimulates collagen (type I and III) and elastin production. 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid helps with PIE & PIH pigmentation - this form shows the best effects on pigmentation and post-UV-exposure skin discolouration. It's better to use Vitamin C during the morning routine because it boosts the efficiency of sunscreen. We consider 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid to be the most stable form of vitamin C in skin care, and this version is suitable for sensitive skin. It's good to mix it with niacinamide and vitamin E. This form has weak points - it's the most expensive form of vitamin C. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/6PZ9Eeh.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Hanyul Yuja Vita-C™ Serum" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/6PZ9Eeh.jpg" title="Hanyul Yuja Vita-C™ Serum" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Beta-carotene </b>belongs to the carotenoid family. This antioxidant and natural pigment fight oxidative stress and free radicals. Usually, we find it in products in the synthetic form of Beta-Carotene, but it can also come from fruits or algae. Carotenoids should be avoided during pregnancy. <b>Tocopherol</b> is an antioxidant known as Vitamin E. It's an oil-soluble vitamin that fights free radicals and makes UVB protection and natural lipid barrier stronger. It's good to mix it with vitamin C for better effects. Oily skin might react with pore-clogging to vitamin E. It is not true that vitamin E works as a preservative or helps with scars. <b>Ascorbic Acid</b> is an antioxidant that stimulates collagen (type I and III) and elastin production. It helps with pigmentation - both PIE & PIH. It is better to use vitamin C during the morning routine because it boosts the efficiency of sunscreen. Ascorbic Acid can fix what free radicals destroy. Brands recommend mixing ascorbic acid with ferulic acid and vitamin E. Vitamin C has a cardinal role in strengthening the blood vessels and boosting wound healing. Ascorbic Acid in a concentration above 10% might be too irritative for sensitive skin or rosacea - even some acne-prone skin might not enjoy it. <b>Citrus Junos (Yuzu) Peel Extract </b>(6 ppm) has anti-inflammatory properties. In South Korea, this plant is called Yuja, in Japan - Yuzu and in China - Youzi. Japan has a tradition of yuzu baths during the winter solstice. Such a bath is supposed to help the immune system and make you more relaxed. In skincare, Citrus Junos (Yuzu) Peel Extract is also an antioxidant. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/Sayqyej.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Hanyul Yuja Vita-C™ Serum" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/Sayqyej.jpg" title="Hanyul Yuja Vita-C™ Serum" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
How does Hanyul Yuja Vita-C™ Serum work? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Hanyul Yuja Vita-C™ Serum is a big surprise since it's considered to be a vitamin C serum or multivitamin serum. I'm not joking, if you check the official website of the brand, you can see information that this serum contains 5 types of multivitamins including vitamin A. Can you guess what's vitamin A in this product? I believe you were searching for retinol or retinal. I guess we are so used to retinol that when we see brands using beta-carotene which I was taught to call not vitamin A but pro-vitamin A, we might get a bit confused. Yes, Hanyul Yuja Vita-C™ Serum is not a vitamin C serum, but a multivitamin serum. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">It's important to mention this at the beginning of the review because even if both Vitamin C serums and Multivitamin serums are rich in antioxidants, they work a bit differently. Let's go through the details about the product first. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/nqqeFl8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Hanyul Yuja Vita-C™ Serum" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/nqqeFl8.jpg" title="Hanyul Yuja Vita-C™ Serum" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Hanyul loves to base its products on natural materials from Korea, so it shouldn't surprise why Yuja has its own, dedicated series. Yuja used in Hanyul's series comes from Goheung County in Jeollanam-do. According to the brand, Yuja contains 3 times more vitamin C than lemon and 25 times more vitamin C than apples. Hanyul Yuja Vita-C™ Serum contains Vitamin C (ascorbic acid + 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid), Vitamin B3 (niacinamide), Vitamin B5 (panthenol) and Vitamin E (tocopherol). But vitamins are not the key in this serum. Hanyul Yuja Vita-C™ Serum contains Yuja Vita-C™ Capsules and 1,000 ppm of Taurine. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I did my research (as always before I buy and review a product) and what I've noticed is that Hanyul Yuja Vita-C™ Serum is promoted on Hanyul's website as a product for people who don't get enough sleep or even after wearing a mask. Europe is a bit different than Asia, so right now I barely ever see people wearing masks even if they are sick, but I have to admit, I ordered this serum in early 2023 and when you check Hanyul's Instagram you can notice that this serum was introduced in 2021 when wearing masks was something common. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/a2ppI5E.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Hanyul Yuja Vita-C™ Serum" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/a2ppI5E.jpg" title="Hanyul Yuja Vita-C™ Serum" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I bought this serum because I love Hanyul's Yuja mask and oil, but I found out that this multivitamin serum is literally designed for me because the main target of this serum is people who don't get enough sleep, work a lot or party. It's literally for people who might deal with dullness, dryness and lack of radiance. This serum is supposed to help with radiance, skin dullness, pore condition and skin thickness which I believe is more about skin strength than actual thickness. I forgot about another important aspect, "chok chok" - hydration of the skin, luminous look. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/bkQtSWX.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Hanyul Yuja Vita-C™ Serum" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/bkQtSWX.jpg" title="Hanyul Yuja Vita-C™ Serum" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I do enjoy using Hanyul serum since it's a lightweight, non-sticky and hydrating formula with tiny capsules. It's kinda surprising since Hanyul Yuja Vita-C™ Serum contains Sunflower Oil. The scent is very fruity and fresh. The application process is easy, the pump in the product is an ideal solution. My skin likes this formula even if I do not tolerate the Niacinamide and Vitamin C combo well. Usually, this duo is not a problem for the skin, but sensitive skin might react to Niacinamide mixed with Vitamin C with redness. I don't see redness, I see that this serum makes my skin look more hydrated and less tired, I see a difference in pigmentation, but I'm aware that it's a combo effect of Hanyul Yuja Vita-C™ Serum and other Vitamin C or Retinol serums. If you don't expect this product to totally remove pigmentation, but to add hydration and brightness to your skin then you won't get disappointed. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I do recommend this serum if you want to invest in an antioxidant product. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/IgKocnQ.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Hanyul Yuja Vita-C™ Serum" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/IgKocnQ.jpg" title="Hanyul Yuja Vita-C™ Serum" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Where to get Hanyul Yuja Vita-C™ Serum, and how much does it cost? </span> </h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I bought my set of Hanyul Yuja Vita-C™ Serum on <a href="https://global.oliveyoung.com/if/rd?su=HLBJGB0V" target="_blank">Olive Young*</a>, it costs $44.10 at the moment, but the regular price of this set is $49.

If you're not new to skincare then I believe this duo is still gonna refresh your skincare routine. Meet the Axis-y ay&me line, this line might be not as popular as the 6+1+1 line, but it's worth a try! What's so good in Axis-y Biome Resetting Moringa Cleansing Oil and Axis-y Biome Double Defense Sunscreen? </div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">About Axis-y </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Axis-y is a young K-beauty brand. According to Axis-y's Facebook page, the brand started in December 2019. The brand makes climate-inspired skincare solutions. What does that mean? Our skin has to deal with lots of dangers like pollution, UV radiation (free radicals) and change in weather and temperatures. The real challenge for the skincare brand is to make a product that will be effective, and at the same time, it'll deal with our lifestyles. All products from Axis-y contain natural plant extracts, and the brand itself believes that skincare should be personal. The company keeps a great connection with customers on Instagram. I think it's crucial for beauty brands. We might not always agree, but respecting each other is better than some companies who try to bully people for saying their honest opinions out loud. All Axis-y products contain 6-1-1 Advanced Formula which should work for problematic skin as well as for people in humid climates. In 2022, Axis-y introduced a new line - ay&me. The motto of the ay&me line is "made for me by me". Axis-y likes to listen to people using their products, that's why the ay&me line was developed with the help of the community. Ay&me influencers (whom I would prefer to call ambassadors) are Claudia Christin, Mehdi the Jipdori and Ben Neiley. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Axis-y is vegan-friendly and cruelty-free, the brand can be found on PETA's brand list. Before Axis-y can sell you a new product, each product goes through tests, before it can be released by Korea Dermatology Research Institute. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/8qbNHrm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Axis-y Biome Resetting Moringa Cleansing Oil and Axis-y Biome Double Defense Sunscreen" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/8qbNHrm.jpg" title="Axis-y Biome Resetting Moringa Cleansing Oil and Axis-y Biome Double Defense Sunscreen" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
What's the difference between the Axis-y 6+1+1 line and the ay&me line? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">The 6+1+1 line and the ay&me line are different. 6+1+1 was the first line created by Axis-y. The formula is easy: 6 nutrient-rich natural ingredients, 1 functional ingredient focused on skin problems and 1 quality-producing skincare technology. Axis-y focused on all important aspects like humidity, pollution, climate change and other external factors that can make our skin suffer. Ay&me line is the voice of Axis-y clients - they took feedback and created a line based on Special Biome Blend: Bifida Ferment Lysate, Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate, Lactococcus Ferment, Lactococcus Ferment Lysate, Bifida Ferment Filtrate and Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate. This blend of probiotics and prebiotics is supposed to help the microbiome and strengthen the skin. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
What's a cleanser? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">According to the Cambridge Dictionary Cleanser is "a substance used for cleaning, especially your face". That's correct. If we want to be more specific we might add that a cleanser is a substance that contains cleansing agents, another name for them is surfactants. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Cleanser is a product that removes dirt, sebum and products (makeup, sunscreen). </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/NEGhpNO.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Axis-y Biome Resetting Moringa Cleansing Oil and Axis-y Biome Double Defense Sunscreen" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/NEGhpNO.jpg" title="Axis-y Biome Resetting Moringa Cleansing Oil and Axis-y Biome Double Defense Sunscreen" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Why you should choose Axis-y Biome Resetting Moringa Cleansing Oil? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">According to the brand, Axis-y Biome Resetting Moringa Cleansing Oil is a lightweight oil that can be used on oily skin in a daily skincare routine. It provides deep cleansing and deals with heavy makeup. Axis-y Biome Resetting Moringa Cleansing Oil contains AXIS-Y's Special Biome Blend </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
What's AXIS-Y's Special Biome Blend? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">AXIS-Y's Special Biome Blend is a blend of 5 unique prebiotics and probiotics. This blend is made out of Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate, Lactobacillus Ferment, Bifida Ferment Filtrate, Saccharomyces/Xylinum/Black Tea Ferment and Yeast Ferment Extract. This blend is mostly focused on moisture, blemishes, hyperpigmentation and skin rejuvenation. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/Wp5JUVQ.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Axis-y Biome Resetting Moringa Cleansing Oil" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/Wp5JUVQ.jpg" title="Axis-y Biome Resetting Moringa Cleansing Oil" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Axis-y Biome Resetting Moringa Cleansing Oil - Packaging </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">The ay&me line has a different design than the 6+1+1 line. The main colours are not white and teal, but beige and brown which reminds me more of a skin. Packaging contains information in both - Korean and English which can be beneficial for customers from all over the world. The paper box is made out of FSC-certified paper. The bottle is very elegant, it contains a nice pump and what's interesting this brown bottle is made out of PCR PET in 30%. PCR stands for Post-Consumer Recycled (plastic - polyethylene terephthalate). </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/S6kDz1H.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Axis-y Biome Resetting Moringa Cleansing Oil" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/S6kDz1H.jpg" title="Axis-y Biome Resetting Moringa Cleansing Oil" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Axis-y Biome Resetting Moringa Cleansing Oil - Texture & Scent </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Let's start with the scent of Axis-y Biome Resetting Moringa Cleansing Oil. I'm unlucky to have a stuffed nose lately so my nose might not be very accurate, but Axis-y Biome Resetting Moringa Cleansing Oil has a herbal, but unusual scent. It is a strong scent, so if you're sensitive that might be a problem. What's good about it? It's a natural scent, Axis-y didn't add any fragrance ingredient besides natural essential oils. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">The texture of Axis-y Biome Resetting Moringa Cleansing Oil is also interesting. This oil has a deep, yellow shade. It kinda reminds me of sea buckthorn, but it's free from sea buckthorn. The texture is lightweight and it's not your typical emulsifying cleanser - water doesn't turn into milk (maybe, it emulsifies a bit), but it doesn't leave oily residue. It makes Axis-y Biome Resetting Moringa Cleansing Oil an ideal oil-based cleanser. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/gUxv2Ug.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Axis-y Biome Resetting Moringa Cleansing Oil" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/gUxv2Ug.jpg" title="Axis-y Biome Resetting Moringa Cleansing Oil" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Axis-y Biome Resetting Moringa Cleansing Oil - Ingredients </span></h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote>Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Isopropyl Palmitate, Sorbeth-30 Tetraoleate, Isohexadecane, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Propylene Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate, Isododecane, Ethylhexyl Pelargonate, Moringa Oleifera Seed Oil, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Oil, Calendula Officinalis Flower Oil, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil, Retinol, Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate, Lactobacillus Ferment, Bifida Ferment Lysate, Saccharomyces/Xylinum/Black Tea Ferment, Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate, Pentaerythrityl Tetra-di-t-butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate, Pentylene Glycol, Water, Tocopherol, Tocopheryl Linoleate, Caprylyl Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Juniperus Virginiana Oil, Cedrus Atlantica Bark Oil, Amyris Balsamifera Bark Oil, Copaifera Officinalis (Balsam Copaiba) Resin, Pogostemon Cablin Oil </blockquote></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Ethylhexyl Palmitate</b> is an oily emollient that provides a satin-like film on the skin. It makes brushing your hair easier.<b> Isopropyl Palmitate</b> is a dry emollient that doesn't have any scent. It prevents skin from TEWL (transepidermal water loss). <b>Sorbeth-30 Tetraoleate</b> is an emulsifier. It's self-emulsifying so it's a good choice for cleansing oils. <b>Isohexadecane</b> is a dry emollient. It gives skin this velvet feeling and it prevents TEWL (transepidermal water loss). It makes products less oily and in hair care, it can make your hair soft. It makes products easier to spread. <b>Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride</b> is a combination of coconut oil and glycerin. It's a notable emollient, quite common in skincare. It leaves a protective film on the surface of the epidermis to save your cutis from dehydration. Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride has a significant role in skin care products - it makes the application process effortless. Some people might experience pore-clogging after using Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride but pore-clogging and skin reactions to ingredients are individual. What works for you might not work for someone else. <b>Propylene Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate</b> is an emollient that makes the product easier to spread. It's also an emulsifier and surfactant. It has a yellow colour. <b>Isododecane</b> is an emollient that leaves a film on the skin. It makes product application easier. <b>Ethylhexyl</b> <b>Pelargonate</b> is a dry emollient that makes the product easier to spread. <b>Moringa Oleifera Seed Oil</b> is an emollient rich in oleic acid and vitamin E. It prevents TEWL (transepidermal water loss). <b>Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil</b> is a source of linoleic acid and vitamin E. Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil works as an emollient. Sometimes you can see it as a carrier oil for other substances. It has anti-inflammatory properties and makes the skin barrier stronger. This oil should work on all types of hair porosity. <b>Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Oil</b> is a red/orange oil. A source of vitamin E, Omega-7, lycopene and zeaxanthin. It works as an antioxidant and oily emollient. Sea Buckthorn Oil can make your skin orange. <b>Calendula Officinalis (Pot Marigold) Flower Oil </b>is an essential oil. It gives a scent to the product. It has antioxidant properties. According to Axis-y, Calendula Flower Oil purifies the skin. <b>Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil </b>is an emollient with a neutral scent. This oil is a source of flavonoids, lecithin, vitamin E, linoleic and oleic acids. It works as an oily emollient, and it's a good oil for massages. <b>Retinol</b> is a form of Vitamin A, sometimes you can see that brands use the term "pure retinol" instead of just "retinol", but it's the same thing. Retinol is an OTC (over-the-counter) retinoid which means that you don't need a prescription to use it (the example of a prescribed retinoid is Tretinoin - an all-trans retinoic acid). Retinol has many positive effects on the skin - it helps with fine lines and wrinkles, acne and blemishes or even skin elasticity. It speeds up the keratinization process which is a process of creating new skin cells. Retinol is an antioxidant, it fights free radical damage. It stimmulates collagen and elastin synthesis. Retinol is a magical ingredient and lately, it has become very common in skincare, but we have to remember that retinol needs to convert to retinoic acid, so it has to go through a two-step oxidation process (retinol to retinaldehyde and then retinoic acid), because of that retinol is milder for the skin than all-trans retinoic acid, but it also works weaker. We have to remember that everyone has a different sensitivity to retinol and that retinol is a big no-no during pregnancy or applied on open wounds. We can mix it with other ingredients but be careful of mixing Retinol and Vitamin C in one routine. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/tKRnfQK.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Axis-y Biome Resetting Moringa Cleansing Oil" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/tKRnfQK.jpg" title="Axis-y Biome Resetting Moringa Cleansing Oil" /></a></div><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate </b>is an antioxidant derived from yeast. It's a source of vitamins, minerals and amino acids. It can help with skin moisture by boosting hyaluronic acid synthesis in the skin. It might help with skin pigmentation. <b>Lactobacillus Ferment</b> is a probiotic with a positive effect on the microbiome of the skin. This soothing ingredient can moderate sebum production and help with acne since it has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties.<b> Bifida Ferment Lysate</b> is a probiotic and a product of the fermentation process. Bifida Ferment Lysate strengthens the skin and its natural microbiome. Bifida ferment lysate can make sensitive skin secure and less susceptible to the negative influence of external factors. This ingredient can help fix the damage caused by UV radiation or fix damaged DNA.<b> Saccharomyces/Xylinum/Black Tea Ferment</b> is a product derived from black tea. It has soothing and anti-ageing properties. <b>Schizosaccharomyces Ferment Filtrate </b>is a product of fermentation, this ingredient has moisturizing properties. <b>Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate</b> is a preservative with antioxidant properties. <b>Pentylene Glycol</b> is mostly a solvent and stabilizer, but it has great moisturizing properties. <b>Water</b> hides in cosmetic products under names such as Aqua or Eau. It's a solvent, but it's not your regular drinking water. Water in skin care needs to fit some standards. It should be clean and free from minerals, microorganisms or other substances. Usually, water makes up the majority of the content of the product. <b>Tocopherol</b> is an antioxidant known as Vitamin E. It's an oil-soluble vitamin that fights free radicals and makes UVB protection and natural lipid barrier stronger. It's good to mix it with vitamin C for better effects. Oily skin might react with pore-clogging to vitamin E. It is not true that vitamin E works as a preservative or helps with scars.<b> Tocopheryl Linoleate</b> is an antioxidant with soothing properties. It's less oily than Tocopherol. <b>Caprylyl Glycol</b> is an oily emollient and humectant. It leaves a moisturizing film on the surface of the skin. <b>1,2-Hexanediol</b> is a synthetic solvent and preservative - it protects products from microorganisms by boosting other preservatives. At the same time, it can moisturize the skin, and it has no unpleasant effects on your epidermis. <b>Juniperus Virginiana (Cedarwood) Oil </b>is an oil popular for its typical scent. It has antibacterial and antiseptic properties. In hair care, it can help with dandruff. <b>Cedrus Atlantica (Atlas Cedar) Bark Oil </b>is a source of cedrol and cedrene. This oil has antibacterial, antiseptic and perfuming ingredients. It can react to UV. <b>Amyris Balsamifera Bark Oil</b> is a scented oil. <b>Copaifera Officinalis (Balsam Copaiba) Resin</b> might sound exotic. It's a resin from the tree which you can find in Brazil, Venezuela or Argentina. It might help with acne and inflammation. <b>Pogostemon Cablin Oil</b> has antibacterial and antiseptic properties. In hair care, it helps with dandruff. It's popular in aromatherapy for its scent, but the beauty industry uses it for the same purpose. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
How does Axis-y Biome Resetting Moringa Cleansing Oil work? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">It's not my first meeting with Axis-y and I believe the majority of the time I tried Axis-y I was happy with the products from this brand. I'm aware that I'm not the only person who likes Axis-y products. Biome Resetting Moringa Cleansing Oil is the first cleansing oil released by Axis-y and I have to admit, I'm impressed. It's a cruelty-free and vegan-friendly oil with a nice, lightweight texture. Axis-y didn't add any artificial scent or colouring, so both colour and scent come from nature. It works with my mascara and that's what matters the most for me. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Axis-y Biome Resetting Moringa Cleansing Oil does contain essential oils so not everyone is going to like it, but for me ingredients are okay. My only problem is the scent of this oil. It's a bit heavy and if you use skincare you shouldn't smell this scent on your skin, but when I tested it for the first time, I had to clean my hands a few times because the scent was still here. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Axis-y Biome Resetting Moringa Cleansing Oil leaves my skin clean and it does leave a delicate film on the skin that makes skin soft and velvet. I feel like this oil has some ingredients that are very beneficial for the skin. I prefer to use cleansing foam after cleansing oil, but Axis-y Biome Resetting Moringa Cleansing Oil can be used as the only cleanser in your routine. It doesn't emulsify into a milky formula, but it doesn't leave an oily residue and that's something worth noticing. Overall, if your skin is sensitive or you're sensitive to scents I would still test a sample or do a patch-test (even if patch testing should be a common thing) before the first use. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
What's UV? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">UV stands for Ultraviolet, it's nothing else than the selected range of frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum. UV rays are not visible to humans but it doesn't mean that they don't exist. Each type of UV - UVA, UVB and UVC has different wavelengths and different properties. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
UVA, UVB and UVC - what does each of them do and where you can meet them? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I'm sure you know about UVA and UVB but UVC or the difference between UVA2 and UVA1? Let's start from the shortest wavelengths - UVC (100nm - 280nm) exist in space and it's absorbed by the ozone layer, it can kill bacteria that's why on Earth you can find it in germicidal lamps - you might ask me, but these lamps are usually visible to a human - it's because they are made in a way that makes them safe for you and other people - you shouldn't enter the room when the UV lamp is on and make people aware that the lamp is on we add other substances so the lamp has a blue/purple colour when it's on. This technology is used for example at labs and hospitals. We all remember UVB (280nm –315nm) because it is said that B in UVB stands for BURN. Indeed, this UV length is responsible for sunburns, but it also helps with the synthesis of Vitamin D - a vitamin which we all need because lack of it can lead to osteoporosis. UVB is focused on the epidermis aka the outer layer of the skin while UVA (315nm –400nm) can penetrate through the epidermis and dermis so it penetrates your skin deeper. A in its name stands for Aging. The bad news is that UVA can penetrate glass, and both UVA and UVB cause lots of damage including skin cancer and oxidative stress. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Should I wear sunscreen at home? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">We already know that UVA penetrates through the glass so do we need to use sunscreen at home? Yes, especially if you spend lots of time working near the window then it's better to put on a layer of sunscreen in the morning and have any type of protection at home as well. But you can also use window films to reduce the risk. The choice is left to you, what I do is keep my blinds on the window during the entire morning and when the sun is not that intense because my windows are situated on the Eastern side the light usually starts to fade afternoon - usually by afternoon I already have sunscreen on, few times reapplied. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
What's the difference between mineral and chemical sunscreen? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">It depends on which side we look at this topic. Mineral sunscreens are sunscreens that don't contain any carbon atoms - this automatically makes them inorganic sunscreens. Chemical sunscreens contain carbon atoms, which makes them organic substances. The main difference is that mineral sunscreen usually leaves a white cast, and it's better if we use both Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide for a broad spectrum of UV protection. Chemical sunscreens don't leave a white cast, and they have more sophisticated formulas. Both are amazing, in some cases, PIH (hyperpigmentation), mineral sunscreens, and natural pigments can make a good layer of protection from UV rays. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/YIrcnJT.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Axis-y Biome Double Defense Sunscreen" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/YIrcnJT.jpg" title="Axis-y Biome Double Defense Sunscreen" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
What's good in Axis-y Biome Double Defense Sunscreen? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Axis-y Biome Double Defense Sunscreen is a sunscreen which you can use all year long. It contains Axis-y's Special Biome Blend and Cranberry Extract which contains more than 95% of purified bio-peptides </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/sCR7p1W.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Axis-y Biome Double Defense Sunscreen" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/sCR7p1W.jpg" title="Axis-y Biome Double Defense Sunscreen" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Axis-y Biome Double Defense Sunscreen - Packaging </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Similar to the Cleansing Oil, Axis-y Biome Double Defense Sunscreen comes in a paper box. It has a beige and brown colour. On the top of the box, you can spot a sticker which you can use with the HiddenTag App to check if Axis-y product is legit. You can spot information about this sunscreen in both English and Korean on the paper box. Inside you can spot a plastic tube, a silver foil is on the top of the applicator to make sure that this product is fresh. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/GSUkLGS.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Axis-y Biome Double Defense Sunscreen" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/GSUkLGS.jpg" title="Axis-y Biome Double Defense Sunscreen" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Axis-y Biome Double Defense Sunscreen - Texture & Scent </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Similar to Cleansing Oil, Axis-y Biome Double Defense Sunscreen has a typical scent. It's an herbal/woody scent which I'm not a fan of. As long as it didn't worry me that much in cleansing oil, the scent in Axis-y Biome Double Defense Sunscreen is a bit haunting since sunscreen is not a product that we remove right after application but it stays on the skin for a while. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">The texture of Axis-y Biome Double Defense Sunscreen is something I have to praise since this product doesn't leave a white cast on my skin. It has a lightweight texture, but at first, it might feel a bit sticky. It does leave a delicate film on the skin. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/wHYcV9B.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Axis-y Biome Double Defense Sunscreen" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/wHYcV9B.jpg" title="Axis-y Biome Double Defense Sunscreen" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Axis-y Biome Double Defense Sunscreen - Ingredients </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote>Water, Glycerin, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Homosalate, Butyloctyl Salicylate, Dibutyl Adipate, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, Niacinamide, Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol, Polysilicone-15, Caprylyl Methicone, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Polymethylsilsesquioxane, Propanediol, Adenosine, Vaccinium Macrocarpon (Cranberry) Fruit Extract, Lactobacillus Ferment, Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate, Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate, Saccharomyces/Xylinum/Black Tea Ferment, Caprylyl Glycol, Tocopherol, Bifida Ferment Lysate, Pentylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, VP/Eicosene Copolymer, Polyglyceryl-3 Methylglucose Distearate, Silica, Behenyl Alcohol, Tromethamine, Decyl Glucoside, Carbomer, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate, Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6, Ethylhexylglycerin, Juniperus Virginiana Oil, Sodium Polyacrylate, Cedrus Atlantica Bark Oil, Amyris Balsamifera Bark Oil, Propylene Glycol, Copaifera Officinalis (Balsam Copaiba) Resin, Pogostemon Cablin Oil, Xanthan Gum, Polyether-1 </blockquote></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Water</b> hides in cosmetic products under names such as Aqua or Eau. It's a solvent, but it's not your regular drinking water. Water in skin care needs to fit some standards. It should be clean and free from minerals, microorganisms or other substances. Usually, water makes up the majority of the content of the product. <b>Glycerin</b> or Glycerol is a humectant. Its origin can be natural or synthetic - depending on the product. It protects TEWL (transepidermal water loss) and naturally occurs in the skin. It's one of the NMFs - natural moisturizing factors. It's practical in hair care. Glycerin won't clog your skin or irritate it just the opposite - it protects your skin from irritation. <b>Ethylhexyl Salicylate</b> or Octisalate is a sun-protecting agent. It's a chemical sunscreen that protects the skin from UVB radiation (280-320nm), but it has its peak at 306nm which makes it a weak sunscreen. <b>Homosalate</b> is a sunscreen agent. It protects the sun from UVB radiation (295-315 nm), and its peak is at 306nm. It's a photosensitive and weak sun-protecting ingredient that's why you can usually find it in a pair with Avobenzone or other substances. <b>Butyloctyl Salicylate </b>is a solvent commonly used in sunscreens. It doesn't only stabilize some sunscreen agents, it also boosts SPF protection. <b>Dibutyl Adipate</b> is an oily emollient. This oil-soluble ingredient dissolves in oils. It creates a hydrating film on the surface of the skin to prevent the skin from dehydration. You can see it in sunscreens as a solvent. <b>Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine</b> is quite a hard name to remember, that's why you can find people talking about this ingredient by calling it Tinosorb S. It's one of the newer types of sunscreen agents and one of the strongest ones. It's a chemical sunscreen that protects skin from UVA (315-400 nm) & UVB (280-315 nm), and its peak is high. It's a stable sunscreen that works with other sun-protecting substances to protect their early photodegradation. <b>Niacinamide</b> is a form of vitamin B3 - a vitamin soluble in water. It helps with problems like wrinkles, acne, skin texture, and enlarged pores and promotes collagen synthesis. Niacinamide makes the skin barrier stronger. It might be handy in cellulite treatments. Do you want to fight pigmentation or uneven skin? Try to mix niacinamide with Kojic Acid, Arbutin, Vitamin C, Tranexamic Acid or Retinol. <b>Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol</b> sounds a bit like a magic spell. You might know it as a Tinosorb M - a new generation of sun-protecting agents. Tinosorb M is a broad-spectrum filter since it covers UVA and UVB wavelengths (280-400nm). It's a so-called hybrid sunscreen agent because it's between mineral and chemical sunscreen agents. It might leave some white cast. <b>Polysilicone-15 </b>might sound like a normal ingredient, but the other name of this ingredient is Parsol SLX. You're right! It's a sun-protecting ingredient. It protects your skin from UVB radiation (290-320 nm) and its peak is around 310 nm. It makes a great pair with Avobenzone. It's quite common in hair care products. <b>Caprylyl Methicone</b> is an alkylmethyl silicone and emollient. It has a waxy texture, and it makes the product easier to apply. It works great with natural ingredients and pigment. It's a volatile silicone so you don't have to worry - it disappeared almost right after application. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/yqZb8ok.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Axis-y Biome Double Defense Sunscreen" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/yqZb8ok.jpg" title="Axis-y Biome Double Defense Sunscreen" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate </b>or Uvinul A Plus is a sun-protecting agent. It covers the UVA range (320-400 nm), and its peak of protection is 354 nm. <b>Polymethylsilsesquioxane</b> is a silicone that protects your skin from dehydration by creating a film on the surface of the skin. Silicones have a positive meaning to your skin - they make products easier to spread, make the formula more elegant and even protect skin and hair. <b>Propanediol</b> is also known as natural glycol - an alternative to propylene glycol. Propanediol is a solvent with additional moisturizing properties. It makes the product smooth to the touch. It can even improve the effectiveness of active ingredients. <b>Adenosine</b> naturally occurs in the skin. One of the adenosine's roles in our bodies is being a neurotransmitter. In skin care, we use adenosine for its anti-wrinkle properties. Adenosine is an anti-inflammatory ingredient. It can boost collagen production. At the same time, it speeds up the healing process. Adenosine can have positive effects on reducing redness. In hair care, adenosine can help with hair loss. <b>Vaccinium Macrocarpon (Cranberry) Fruit Extract</b> is an antioxidant and a source of flavonoids and natural acids like citric acid. Cranberry Fruit Extract has important meaning for blood vessels - it strengths them prevents the formation of fresh telangiectasias (or spider veins) and helps with swelling. It fights damage caused by free radicals. <b>Lactobacillus Ferment </b>is a probiotic with a positive effect on the microbiome of the skin. This soothing ingredient can moderate sebum production and help with acne since it has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. <b>Schizosaccharomyces Ferment Filtrate </b>is a product of fermentation, this ingredient has moisturizing properties. <b>Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate</b> is an antioxidant derived from yeast. It's a source of vitamins, minerals and amino acids. It can help with skin moisture by boosting hyaluronic acid synthesis in the skin. It might help with skin pigmentation. <b>Saccharomyces/Xylinum/Black Tea Ferment </b>is a product derived from black tea. It has soothing and anti-ageing properties. <b>Caprylyl Glycol</b> is an oily emollient and humectant. It leaves a moisturizing film on the surface of the skin. <b>Tocopherol</b> is an antioxidant known as Vitamin E. It's an oil-soluble vitamin that fights free radicals and makes UVB protection and natural lipid barrier stronger. It's good to mix it with vitamin C for better effects. Oily skin might react with pore-clogging to vitamin E. It is not true that vitamin E works as a preservative or helps with scars. <b>Bifida Ferment Lysate</b> is a probiotic and a product of the fermentation process. Bifida Ferment Lysate strengthens the skin and its natural microbiome. Bifida ferment lysate can make sensitive skin secure and less susceptible to the negative influence of external factors. This ingredient can help fix the damage caused by UV radiation or fix damaged DNA.<b> Pentylene Glycol </b>is mostly a solvent and stabilizer, but it has great moisturizing properties. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>1,2-Hexanediol </b>is a synthetic solvent and preservative - it protects products from microorganisms by boosting other preservatives. At the same time, it can moisturize the skin, and it has no unpleasant effects on your epidermis. <b>VP/Eicosene Copolymer </b>is a binding ingredient, but it also leaves a film on the surface of the skin. <b>Polyglyceryl-3 Methylglucose Distearate </b>is an oil-in-water emulsifier, suitable for vegans. Silica is a mineral-natural ingredient. It's popular in makeup and skincare. It can absorb sebum or thicken the texture.<b> Behenyl Alcohol </b>might sound scary, but it's a fatty alcohol. This type of alcohol is positive for the skin since it works as an emollient. It helps with the texture of the product. <b>Tromethamine</b> is a synthetic pH adjuster. <b>Decyl Glucoside</b> is a non-ionic surfactant that works as an emulsifier and thickener. A carbomer is a synthetic thickener. <b>Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer</b> is a synthetic polymer and quite a large molecule. It works as a thickener and emulsion stabiliser. <b>Sodium Stearoyl Glutamat</b>e is an oil-in-water emulsifier. <b>Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6</b> is a thickener, it helps create elegant, non-sticky formulas. <b>Ethylhexylglycerin</b> is a preservative with subtle moisturizing and antimicrobial properties. <b>Juniperus Virginiana (Cedarwood) Oil</b> is an oil popular for its typical scent. It has antibacterial and antiseptic properties. In hair care, it can help with dandruff. <b>Sodium Polyacrylate </b>is a thickener with a strong ability to absorb water. It helps with texture and it can create a film on the skin to prevent TEWL (transepidermal water loss). <b>Cedrus Atlantica (Atlas Cedar) Bark Oil </b>is a source of cedrol and cedrene. This oil has antibacterial, antiseptic and perfuming ingredients. It can react to UV. <b>Amyris Balsamifera Bark Oil </b>is a scented oil. <b>Propylene Glycol </b>is a humectant and solvent. It creates a delicate film on the surface of the skin to prevent TEWL (transepidermal water loss). <b>Copaifera Officinalis (Balsam Copaiba) Resin</b> might sound exotic. It's a resin from the tree which you can find in Brazil, Venezuela or Argentina. It might help with acne and inflammation. <b>Pogostemon Cablin Oil </b>has antibacterial and antiseptic properties. In hair care, it helps with dandruff. It's popular in aromatherapy for its scent, but the beauty industry uses it for the same purpose.<b> Xanthan Gum </b>is a polysaccharide that works as a thickener. <b>Polyether-1</b> is a thickener. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/QMNU6IQ.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Axis-y Biome Double Defense Sunscreen" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/QMNU6IQ.jpg" title="Axis-y Biome Double Defense Sunscreen" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
How does Axis-y Biome Double Defense Sunscreen work? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I've tried three versions of Axis-y Complete No-Stress Physical Sunscreen (you can read a review of the latest version of this sunscreen on Kherblog), but according to Axis-y's website, Biome Double Defense Sunscreen has better reviews. So I was even more curious about this sunscreen. It is a gentle sunscreen texture that doesn't leave a white cast or doesn't sting my eyes. It's a lightweight texture, but for me, in the first few minutes, it did feel a bit sticky. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Axis-y Biome Double Defense Sunscreen is supposed to provide sun protection and defend the skin from negative aspects of UV radiation, but according to the brand this sunscreen can also prevent dullness and fine wrinkles. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">There's only one thing I'm not a big fan of - the scent, similar to Cleansing Oil, Axis-y Biome Double Defense Sunscreen contains essential oils. The scent from oils has woody/herbal notes which in cleansing oil aren't as problematic for me as in sunscreen. If your skin is sensitive, it's good to patch-test this product first. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Overall, it's not a bad sunscreen, I didn't have time to test it with makeup. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/FkhmJKJ.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Axis-y Biome Resetting Moringa Cleansing Oil and Axis-y Biome Double Defense Sunscreen" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/FkhmJKJ.jpg" title="Axis-y Biome Resetting Moringa Cleansing Oil and Axis-y Biome Double Defense Sunscreen" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">

A bottle of <a href="https://www.axis-y.com/products/biome-resetting-moringa-cleansing-oil" target="_blank">Axis-y Biome Resetting Moringa Cleansing Oil</a> that contains 200ml of oil costs $21.

I usually review K-beauty products, but today I want to focus on I guess the most popular J-beauty brand - Shiseido! Although, I believe that nowadays Waso Beauty is no longer promoted as a Shiseido line, but as a separate brand sold by Shiseido, still I want to introduce you to a juicy duo. Let's find what's so special in Yuzu from Kochi with Shiseido Waso Yuzu-C Glow-On Shot Serum and Shiseido Waso Beauty Yuzu-C Overnight Mask </div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/foPazYx.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Shiseido Waso Yuzu-C Glow-On Shot Serum and Shiseido Waso Beauty Yuzu-C Overnight Mask" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/foPazYx.jpg" title="Shiseido Waso Yuzu-C Glow-On Shot Serum and Shiseido Waso Beauty Yuzu-C Overnight Mask" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">About Shiseido </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Shiseido is a Japanese company which history has started in Ginza, Tokyo in 1872. It was established by Arinobu Fukuhara - a Japanese pharmacist and cosmetician. In 1897 Shiseido introduced Eudermine - Shiseido's Red Water, a lotion that is still in stores. The brand expanded in 1923 and right now you can find Shiseido all over the world. Shiseido's history is rich, but if we skip to the 21st century then in 2017 Shiseido released its new line - Shiseido Waso. A line targetted for Millennials, based on innovative and exclusive formulas. The name Waso is a combination of the Japanese words WA - peaceful and SO - inspiration or idea. In 2021 Shiseido relaunched Waso as Waso by Shiseido. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Waso is a vegan-friendly line. The entire series is focused on ingredients sourced from Japanese farmers. Shiseido decided to create clean and sustainable products. Waso is based on 4 main ingredients: Yuzu from Kochi, Shikuwasa Lime from Okinawa Island, Sugarcane Extract from Miyakojima and Koshihikari Rice from Hyogo. Waso Yuzu-C line contains Yuzu-C Beauty Sleeping Mask, Yuzu-C Eye Awakening Essence and Yuzu-C Glow-On Shot Serum. I bought a Yuzu-C Beauty Sleeping Mask and Yuzu-C Glow-On Shot Serum some time ago, I tested this duo last year, and finally, the review is here. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/AISfPHV.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Shiseido Waso Yuzu-C Glow-On Shot Serum and Shiseido Waso Beauty Yuzu-C Overnight Mask" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/AISfPHV.jpg" title="Shiseido Waso Yuzu-C Glow-On Shot Serum and Shiseido Waso Beauty Yuzu-C Overnight Mask" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">What's important and we don't talk about it is how important are raw materials and focus on local suppliers. I'm From is one of the brands that focus on local ingredients. Waso isn't different. Waso works with local farmers in the hope to contribute and support local farmers. A portion of sales are donated to the Waso Local Revitalization Project. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Why did I post this review so late? Have you ever seen capybaras in Japan? They have yuzu baths. Yuzu bath is a Japanese tradition celebrated during winter solstice. I'm a bit late since the winter solstice was on Dec 21st. In general, winter is a good time for Yuja tea. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/H2E75Eg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Shiseido Waso Yuzu-C Glow-On Shot Serum and Shiseido Waso Beauty Yuzu-C Overnight Mask" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/H2E75Eg.jpg" title="Shiseido Waso Yuzu-C Glow-On Shot Serum and Shiseido Waso Beauty Yuzu-C Overnight Mask" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Shiseido Waso Yuzu-C Glow-On Shot Serum </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">It's an oil serum based on two types of Vitamin C. Its main task is to boost the hydration and radiance of the skin. This serum targets dullness of the skin and early signs of aging. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/Epfwn5P.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Shiseido Waso Yuzu-C Glow-On Shot Serum and Shiseido Waso Beauty Yuzu-C Overnight Mask" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/Epfwn5P.jpg" title="Shiseido Waso Yuzu-C Glow-On Shot Serum and Shiseido Waso Beauty Yuzu-C Overnight Mask" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Shiseido Waso Yuzu-C Glow-On Shot Serum - Packaging </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">The aesthetic of this packaging isn't very minimalistic even if the beige colour is a base of the Waso line. Beige mixed with yellow and green gives a nice natural touch to this brand. I like how Shiseido decided to put some yuzu pattern on the inside part of the box. It's a FSC-certified paper. The glass bottle comes with a good pipette. It's important to shake this formula before using the product. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/44xHLGI.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Shiseido Waso Yuzu-C Glow-On Shot Serum and Shiseido Waso Beauty Yuzu-C Overnight Mask" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/44xHLGI.jpg" title="Shiseido Waso Yuzu-C Glow-On Shot Serum and Shiseido Waso Beauty Yuzu-C Overnight Mask" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Shiseido Waso Yuzu-C Glow-On Shot Serum - Texture & Scent </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">The bi-phase formula of Shiseido Waso Yuzu-C Glow-On Shot Serum is a surprise since Vitamin C in its basic form is a water-soluble ingredient. It is an oily texture and I didn't like it since I feel like my skin is getting oily after using it. It's a texture I would choose for wintertime more than for summertime. It has a typical, citrus scent. I enjoy the scent since it's not very heavy. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/IN9zKDn.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Shiseido Waso Yuzu-C Glow-On Shot Serum and Shiseido Waso Beauty Yuzu-C Overnight Mask" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/IN9zKDn.jpg" title="Shiseido Waso Yuzu-C Glow-On Shot Serum and Shiseido Waso Beauty Yuzu-C Overnight Mask" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Shiseido Waso Yuzu-C Glow-On Shot Serum - Ingredients </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote>Water(Aqua/Eau), Glycerin, Squalane, Butylene Glycol, Alcohol Denat, Sodium PCA, Trehalose, Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Water, Sodium Chloride, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, 2-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate, Lauryl Betaine, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Oil (Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Oil), Tocopheryl Acetate, Xanthan Gum, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Citrus Junos Fruit Extract, Citrus Junos Seed Extract, Salvia Officinalis (Sage) Oil, Citrus Depressa Peel Extract, Sesamum Indicum (Sesame) Seed Oil, Rosa Canina Fruit Oil, Ascorbyl Dipalmitate, Alcohol, Sodium Citrate, Tocopherol, Sodium Metaphosphate, Dipropylene Glycol, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, Sodium Metabisulfite, Citric Acid, Limonene, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Oil, Linalool, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Benzoate </blockquote></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Water</b> hides in a cosmetic product under names such as Aqua or Eau. It's a solvent, but it's not your regular drinking water. Water in skin care needs to fit some standards. It should be clean and free from minerals, microorganisms or other substances. Usually, water makes up the majority of the content of the product. <b>Glycerin</b> or Glycerol is a humectant. Its origin can be natural or synthetic - depending on the product. It protects TEWL (transepidermal water loss) and naturally occurs in the skin. It's one of the NMFs - natural moisturizing factors. It's practical in hair care. Glycerin won't clog your skin or irritate it just the opposite - it protects your skin from irritation. <b>Squalane</b> is an ingredient very similar to our sebum. Squalane and squalene sound similar, but there's a difference. Squalane has no double bonds while squalene has double bonds. What does it mean? Squalane is a more stable version of squalene. What I love about this ingredient is how well it works with all skin types, and how our skin needs it. Believe me, if your skin is irritated - go for squalane! This ingredient is usually derived from sugarcane or olives. It acts like an emollient and you need it in your life. <b>Butylene Glycol</b> is a common ingredient in products. It's not only a solvent. We use butylene glycol because it helps with the penetration of active ingredients, protects products from drying and moisturizes skin and hair. This ingredient can prevent hair loss and make your hair stronger. <b>Alcohol Denat </b>is an immense topic in skincare. Alcohol can be good or bad for your skin, but sometimes the amount makes a poison. Alcohol, after all, is a prominent solvent. It makes active substances penetrate the skin deeper. This effect has its cost - the skin is getting a bit irritated. Some substances can be dissolved only in alcohol. This ingredient has antibacterial properties. It works as a preservative by preventing microorganisms from growing in the product. It has some awful sides too - it can dry your skin, mainly if we use it in large amounts. Sensitive skin is not a fan of this ingredient. <b>Sodium PCA</b> is a humectant. <b>Trehalose</b> is a disaccharide. We all know that sugar is awesome for the skin. What does it do? Trehalose similar to other sugars has water-binding properties. Trehalose kinda acts like NMF (Natural Moisturizing Factor). <b>Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Water</b> is an apple hydrosol. It has revitalizing properties. <b>Sodium Chloride </b>is nothing else than a well-known salt. In skincare, sodium chloride is a thickener. We also use it as an exfoliant. <b>Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil</b> is an emollient with antioxidant properties. It's a source of polyphenols such as flavonoids and resveratrol. It's a very lightweight oil. It fits all skin types. <b>2-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid</b> is a form of Vitamin C. It's an antioxidant and skin-brightening ingredient. It stimulates collagen (type I and III) and elastin production. It's better to use Vitamin C during the morning routine because it boosts the efficiency of sunscreen. I mostly spot this form of Vitamin C in Japanese products. <b>Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate </b>is a form of Vitamin C. It's an antioxidant and an oil-soluble form of vitamin C. ATIP helps with pigmentation because it's a tyrosinase inhibitor. It stimulates collagen (type I and III) and elastin production. It's suitable for sensitive skin. It has anti-aging and moisturizing properties.<b> Lauryl Betaine</b> is a delicate surfactant responsible for bubbles. It has antistatic properties, but it can be also used as an emulsifier. <b>Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Oil</b> is an essential oil. It contains camphor. It has antibacterial properties. it boosts blood microcirculation. This ingredient is popular in products for acne and cellulite. It might be helpful with oily scalp and dandruff. It adds scent to the product. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/4l364mV.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Shiseido Waso Yuzu-C Glow-On Shot Serum and Shiseido Waso Beauty Yuzu-C Overnight Mask" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/4l364mV.jpg" title="Shiseido Waso Yuzu-C Glow-On Shot Serum and Shiseido Waso Beauty Yuzu-C Overnight Mask" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Tocopheryl Acetate</b> is a form of Vitamin E, Tocopherol. It's an antioxidant that helps with skin & hair hydration and prevents TEWL (transepidermal water loss). This ester form of Tocopherol is more stable, but it's not as effective. Some people consider it a preservative, but Vitamin E should be used as a preservative. It's good to mix it with Vitamin C and Ferulic Acid. <b>Xanthan Gum</b> is a polysaccharide that works as a thickener. Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil is an essential oil with a characteristic scent. It has some relaxing and antibacterial properties, but it can irritate your skin. <b>Citrus Junos (Yuzu) Fruit Extract </b>is a source of many important substances like vitamin C and hesperidin. In South Korea, this plant is called Yuja, in Japan - Yuzu and in China - Youzi. Japan has a tradition of yuzu baths during the winter solstice. Such a bath is supposed to help the immune system and make you more relaxed. In skincare, Citrus Junos (Yuzu) Fruit Extract is an antioxidant. This substance should help with acne and mature skin. <b>Citrus Junos (Yuzu) Seed Extract</b> is an antioxidant. Citrus Junos (Yuzu) Seed Extract is a source of ascorbic acid, niacin, hesperidin and limonene. It brightens the skin and it helps with blood circulation in the skin. <b>Salvia Officinalis (Sage) Oil</b> is an essential oil. It has antibacterial and antifungal properties. It contains a-thuyune, camphor and 1,8-cineole. It adds scent to the product. <b>Citrus Depressa Peel Extract</b> is a source of Vitamin C, thiamine (Vitamin B1) and citric acid. The other name of Citrus Depressa is shiikuwasha, Taiwan tangerine or Okinawa lime. Citrus Depressa is a citrus typical for Okinawa island in Japan. Citrus Depressa Peel Extract can reduce inflammation caused by sunlight and it has brightening properties. <b>Sesamum Indicum (Sesame) Seed Oil</b> is an emollient that creates a film on the surface of the skin to prevent TEWL (transepidermal water loss). It's rich in oleic and linoleic acid. It contains vitamin E and sesamin. It's an antioxidant with brightening properties. It has anti-aging and moisturizing properties as well, Sesame Seed Oil might help reduce hair loss. <b>Rosa Canina (Rosehip) Fruit Oil</b> is an emollient rich in linoleic acid. It's a natural antioxidant with anti-aging properties. It's recommended for mature skin, but also acne-prone skin. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/n1GjEWm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Shiseido Waso Yuzu-C Glow-On Shot Serum and Shiseido Waso Beauty Yuzu-C Overnight Mask" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/n1GjEWm.jpg" title="Shiseido Waso Yuzu-C Glow-On Shot Serum and Shiseido Waso Beauty Yuzu-C Overnight Mask" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Ascorbyl Dipalmitate </b>is related to vitamin C. This ingredient has whitening properties and it boosts collagen production. <b>Sodium Citrate</b> neutralizes metal ions, but it also adjusts the pH. <b>Tocopherol</b> is an antioxidant known as Vitamin E. It's an oil-soluble vitamin that fights free radicals and makes UVB protection and natural lipid barrier stronger. It's good to mix it with vitamin C for better effects. Oily skin might react with pore-clogging to vitamin E. It is not true that vitamin E works as a preservative or helps with scars. <b>Sodium Metaphosphate</b> regulates the pH of the product. <b>Dipropylene Glycol </b>is a solvent with moisturizing properties. <b>Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose</b> is a surfactant and stabilizer. <b>Sodium Metabisulfite</b> is an antioxidant. A preservative, but it can cause allergic reactions. It reduces the oxidation of the haircare products. <b>Citric acid</b> is an AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) - a delicate exfoliant and a buffering ingredient. It adjusts the pH of the formula. <b>Sodium Citrate</b> neutralizes metal ions, but it also modifies the pH. <b>Limonene</b> is a scent ingredient, and it makes the product smell like lemon or orange. Limonene can enhance the penetration of other substances, but at the same time, it can irritate the skin. <b>Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Oil </b>is an essential oil. It gives an orange scent to the product. <b>Linalool</b> gives a floral scent to products. It can irritate the skin. <b>Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil</b> is a source of linoleic acid and vitamin E. <b>Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil </b>works as an emollient. Sometimes you can see it as a carrier oil for other substances. It has anti-inflammatory properties and makes the skin barrier stronger. This oil should work on all types of hair porosity. <b>Phenoxyethanol</b> is a preservative that lots of people try to demonize. The truth is that Phenoxyethanol is gentle on the skin, and has antiseptic properties. <b>Sodium Benzoate</b> is a preservative. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/YMzBhQ7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Shiseido Waso Yuzu-C Glow-On Shot Serum and Shiseido Waso Beauty Yuzu-C Overnight Mask" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/YMzBhQ7.jpg" title="Shiseido Waso Yuzu-C Glow-On Shot Serum and Shiseido Waso Beauty Yuzu-C Overnight Mask" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
How does Shiseido Waso Yuzu-C Glow-On Shot Serum work? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I've tried Shiseido Waso Beauty Yuzu-C Overnight Mask first so my expectations towards Shiseido Waso Yuzu-C Glow-On Shot Serum were high. I guess I'm the only person who was a bit disappointed with this formula because this serum is usually getting positive reviews. Let's focus on positive things first. Shiseido says that this formula is clean and 98% of ingredients have a natural origin. This product is vegan-friendly since it has a certificate. It's an elegant product but is it something millennials are searching for? </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I can't deny, it's a nice serum, but it's not a product that is going to change your skin in a day or few days. If I would want to target pigmentation then there are other products - maybe not based on Vitamin C - that are more worth a try. This is more like a serum for daily use to boost the amount of antioxidants in your routine. I don't like the sticky, oily film left of this oil on my skin, I don't find it hydrating. I just find it oily. Would I repurchase it? No, but I believe some people - especially if you have dry skin - might enjoy it. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">The PAO (period after opening) date is 12 months - that's a lot for Vitamin C serum. It's important to shake this formula before using the product. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/TZezjF4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Shiseido Waso Yuzu-C Glow-On Shot Serum and Shiseido Waso Beauty Yuzu-C Overnight Mask" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/TZezjF4.jpg" title="Shiseido Waso Yuzu-C Glow-On Shot Serum and Shiseido Waso Beauty Yuzu-C Overnight Mask" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Shiseido Waso Beauty Yuzu-C Overnight Mask </span></h3><div style="text-align: justify;">It's a brightening and hydrating mask.

How does the Shiseido Waso Beauty Yuzu-C Overnight Mask work? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I have one favourite Yuzu mask which I go back to. It's a Yuja mask - since it's a Korean mask. When I bought the Shiseido Waso Beauty Yuzu-C Overnight Mask I was aware that I'd keep comparing it with the Hanyul mask, but these masks are great in their ways. I do like the Hanyul mask more since it's more affordable and the scent is very calming, but Shiseido is nice too. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Shiseido Waso Beauty Yuzu-C Overnight Mask has this gel, transparent texture with tiny yellow bits. The scent is not as fruity and I believe some people might choose it over the Hanyul mask. The great thing about Shiseido Waso Beauty Yuzu-C Overnight Mask is refills - they cost way less than regular size. The texture is lightweight and it doesn't leave any sticky film on the surface of the skin. The yellow dots in the texture are not staying on the face, I feel like my skin is drinking this mask. It feels more hydrating than the serum. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Similar to serum, the Shiseido Waso Beauty Yuzu-C Overnight Mask has a PAO date of 12 months which is a normal PAO date for a sleeping mask. For me, it's a good, hydrating mask. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/ILmpPCO.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Shiseido Waso Yuzu-C Glow-On Shot Serum and Shiseido Waso Beauty Yuzu-C Overnight Mask" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/ILmpPCO.jpg" title="Shiseido Waso Yuzu-C Glow-On Shot Serum and Shiseido Waso Beauty Yuzu-C Overnight Mask" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Where to buy Shiseido Waso Yuzu-C Glow-On Shot Serum and Shiseido Waso Beauty Yuzu-C Overnight Mask? How much do they cost? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">These products are available on the Shiseido website and at Sephora in different countries (I bought both in Poland). Shiseido Waso Yuzu-C Glow-On Shot Serum costs $45 for 28ml. Usually, bottles contain 30ml of the product, but in this case, the bottle contains only 28ml of serum. Shiseido Waso Beauty Yuzu-C Overnight Mask costs $38/30ml. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">If you want to support me and help me create reviews for you, you can use my affiliate links - <a href="https://shopmy.us/collections/344569" target="_blank">shop Shiseido with Shopmy*</a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Overall, this is an interesting line, but I have a few Shiseido products which I enjoy more. Still, the Waso line is one of the most affordable Shiseido lines in the Western market. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">
Have you ever tried Shiseido Waso products?

Then you have to meet The onleaf! It's a new brand created for sensitive & acne-prone skin. I tried three products from this brand: The onleaf Blemish Vegan Low PH Cleanser, The onleaf Vegan Heartleaf PHA Toner and The onleaf Vegan Greenery Repair Cica Watery Gel Cream. In this post, I'm sharing my experience with this trio. </div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">About the onleaf </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">The onleaf is a vegan K-beauty brand.

The onleaf Blemish Vegan Low PH Cleanser - Packaging </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">The onleaf Blemish Vegan Low PH Cleanser comes without a paper box and that's not an issue for me. It's a squeezable plastic and that makes it easier to get the product out of the tube. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
The onleaf Blemish Vegan Low PH Cleanser - Texture & Scent </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">It reminds me of a cream, but once you add water it turns into foam. The scent of The onleaf Blemish Vegan Low PH Cleanser has a delicate herbal hint. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
What's the pH of The onleaf Blemish Vegan Low PH Cleanser? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">According to the brand, the pH of The onleaf Blemish Vegan Low PH Cleanser is around 4.5 to 5.0, which makes it quite similar to the natural pH of the skin (around 5,5). </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/sNpbydi.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="The onleaf Blemish Vegan Low PH Cleanser" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/sNpbydi.jpg" title="The onleaf Blemish Vegan Low PH Cleanser" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">

It's a solvent, but it's not your regular drinking water. Water in skin care needs to fit some standards. It should be clean and free from minerals, microorganisms or other substances. Usually, water makes up the majority of the content of the product. <b>Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate </b>is a biodegradable surfactant. What's interesting about this surfactant - it's responsible for creating bubbles. Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate is derived from fatty acids. <b>Glycerin</b> or Glycerol is a humectant. Its origin can be natural or synthetic - depending on the product. It protects TEWL (transepidermal water loss) and naturally occurs in the skin. It's one of the NMFs - natural moisturizing factors. It's practical in hair care. Glycerin won't clog your skin or irritate it just the opposite - it protects your skin from irritation. Usually, when we see any alcohol, we suspect the worst. You shouldn't be scared of <b>Stearyl Alcohol</b> - it's an oily emollient. It leaves a protective film on your skin, It works as an emulsifier too. <b>Glyceryl Stearate</b> is an emollient with emulsifying properties. <b>Lauryl Betaine</b> is a delicate surfactant responsible for bubbles. It has antistatic properties, but it can be also used as an emulsifier. <b>Coconut Acid</b> is an emollient that makes products last longer. <b>Sodium</b> <b>Methyl Cocoyl Taurate</b> is an anionic surfactant. It's derived from coconut and it's a delicate substance used in cleansers. <b>Butylene Glycol </b>is a common ingredient in products. It's not only a solvent. We use butylene glycol because it helps with the penetration of active ingredients, protects products from drying and moisturizes skin and hair. This ingredient can prevent hair loss and make your hair stronger. <b>Sodium Isethionate </b>is a water-soluble surfactant. It has antistatic properties which makes it great for hair care. <b>Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Seed Extract</b> is an antioxidant with many positive aspects for the skin. Green tea provides flavonoids and vitamin C. It fights acne and helps with PIE (post-acne erythema) because of EGCG. The green tea seed extract is a good humectant. <b>Quillaja Saponaria Bark Extract</b> is a natural surfactant. Quillaja Saponaria or Soap Bark Tree is a tree that grows in Chile. It's rich in saponins and polyphenols. It has anti-dandruff properties. <b>Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Water</b> is a green tea hydrosol. It refreshes, soothes and hydrates the skin. <b>Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Seed Oil</b> is a source of oleic acid, flavonoids, vitamins, and minerals such as zinc and iron. It's an oily emollient and an antioxidant. It prevents TEWL (transepidermal water loss) and it has anti-inflammatory properties. Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Seed Oil has a positive meaning for skin and hair. <b>Candida Bombicola/Glucose/Methyl Rapeseedate </b>Ferment moderates sebum production and has antimicrobial properties. <b>Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose) Flower Extract</b> is an anti-inflammatory ingredient. Even in traditional medicine evening primrose has a wide use. It's rich in gamma-linoleic acid (omega-6 fatty acid). </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Pinus Palustris Leaf Extract</b> is an extract obtained from needles of longleaf pine. It's a source of saccharides, saponin and tannin. It has antimicrobial properties, but in hair care, it can help with hair loss and hair growth. <b>Pueraria Thunbergiana Root Extract </b>or Kudzu Root Extract has anti-inflammatory properties. This plan has been used in Chinese and Korean Traditional Medicines. It might be an antioxidant.<b> Ulmus Davidiana Root Extract</b> is an ingredient related to hanbang - traditional Korean medicine. It's an antioxidant with moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties. <b>Dioscorea Japonica Root Extract</b> or Japanese Mountain Yam Root Extract is a source of ascorbic acid, tannin, iron, niacin, riboflavin and zinc. <b>Coco-Glucoside</b> is a non-ionic surfactant and oil-in-water emulsifier. <b>Salicylic Acid</b> is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA). It's an exfoliant with keratolytic properties. It normalizes the keratinization process. This acid doesn't only work on the surface of the skin like AHAs, but it goes deep into pores. It might have anti-inflammatory properties, but we know that acne-prone skin loves it. If you have problems with ingrowths or keratosis pilaris then salicylic acid is an ingredient for you. <b>Sodium Phytate </b>is a chelating agent derived from corn. It neutralizes the ions in the products to make sure your product stays fresh a bit longer. <b>1,2-Hexanediol</b> is a synthetic solvent and preservative - it protects products from microorganisms by boosting other preservatives. At the same time, it can moisturize the skin, and it has no unpleasant effects on your epidermis. <b>Citric acid</b> is an AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) - a delicate exfoliant and a buffering ingredient. It adjusts the pH of the formula. Epigallocatechin Gallate or EGCG is a powerful antioxidant derived from green tea.

Brands mostly appreciate this ingredient for its subtle exfoliating properties. It's an ideal exfoliant for sensitive skin. Additionally, Gluconolactone has moisturizing properties, and if you use it for longer, you might see differences in wrinkles. There is also information that Gluconolactone might be a potent antioxidant. In haircare, Gluconolactone helps with the scalp but also adds moisture to the hair. <b>Lactic Acid</b> is an alpha hydroxy acid. It's a natural moisturizing factor with exfoliating properties - the right pH and concentration of this peel have an important meaning in how it will act on the skin. Lactic Acid is gentler than Glycolic Acid due to the bigger molecular size of the Lactic Acid molecule. In concentrations up to 10% it's a powerful moisturizer, any product with lactic acid above 10% can lift dead skin cells and help with wrinkles. <b>Methylpropanediol</b> is a solvent with antimicrobial properties. <b>Dipropylene Glycol</b> is a solvent with moisturizing properties. <b>Pentylene Glycol</b> is mostly a solvent and stabilizer, but it has great moisturizing properties. <b>Octanediol</b> reduces crystallization in the products. <b>Ethylhexylglycerin</b> is a preservative with subtle moisturizing and antimicrobial properties. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/aTQSK7G.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="The onleaf Blemish Vegan Low PH Cleanser" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/aTQSK7G.jpg" title="The onleaf Blemish Vegan Low PH Cleanser" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
How does The onleaf Blemish Vegan Low PH Cleanser work? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">The onleaf Blemish Vegan Low PH Cleanser is a cleanser recommended for sensitive, acne-prone skin. The texture is creamy and a small amount is enough. A small amount is enough, so this toner is not expensive in comparison to how long it lasts. It does a good job with cleansing, the skin is free from sebum, but you have to follow it with toner otherwise it might feel squeaky clean. At least, I feel like I need additional hydration after this toner since it's cleaning my skin so well. It didn't reduce redness on my skin, but it didn't sensitize me. The foam created by this cleanser combined with water isn't spectacular but it's enough to cleanse the skin. Still, this cleanser does what it is supposed to be and I appreciate that. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/GBZLvDy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="The onleaf Vegan Heartleaf PHA Toner" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/GBZLvDy.jpg" title="The onleaf Vegan Heartleaf PHA Toner" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
The onleaf Vegan Heartleaf PHA Toner - Packaging </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">The onleaf Vegan Heartleaf PHA Toner comes in a paper box, inside you can find a well-made plastic bottle. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
The onleaf Vegan Heartleaf PHA Toner - Texture & Scent </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">The onleaf Vegan Heartleaf PHA Toner has a delicate scent. It's a liquid toner since it contains PHA - instead of using it with your hands, in this case, it's better to go for pads. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
The onleaf Vegan Heartleaf PHA Toner - Ingredients </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote>Water, Houttuynia Cordata Extract, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, 1,2-Hexanediol, Niacinamide, Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Centella Asiatica Extract, Ficus Carica (Fig) Fruit Extract, Saccharum Officinarum (Sugarcane) Extract, Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract, Melia Azadirachta Flower Extract, Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract, Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract, Ocimum Sanctum Leaf Extract, Polygonum Cuspidatum Root Extract, Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Corallina Officinalis Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Sodium Citrate, Octyldodeceth-16, Citric Acid, Disodium EDTA, Gluconolactone, Capryloyl Salicylic Acid, Ceramide NP, Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate, Lactococcus Ferment Lysate, Bifida Ferment Filtrate, Bifida Ferment Lysate, Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate, Hydroxyacetophenone, Ethylhexylglycerin </blockquote></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Water</b> hides in cosmetic products under names such as Aqua or Eau. It's a solvent, but it's not your regular drinking water. Water in skin care needs to fit some standards. It should be clean and free from minerals, microorganisms or other substances. Usually, water makes up the majority of the content of the product. <b>Houttuynia Cordata Extract</b> is an ingredient which some people with acne-prone skin love while for me, my experience was not bad but still all hail Centella! Houttuynia Cordata is a plant, which we still use in Traditional Chinese and Japanese Medicine, it's also known as Heart Leaf or Chinese lizard tail. Funny fact about Houttuynia - it's also called Fish Wort, Fish Leaf, etc. because it's an edible plant and it usually leaves a fishy aftertaste. I eat fish a lot, but I'm not a fan of the fishy taste of low-quality matcha (yep, I'm a tea & fish snob) so I don't think I would enjoy it, I'll stay with enjoying Houttuynia magic in skincare. Houttuynia is an antioxidant with anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. It's also a source of quercetin, quercitrin, rutin and hyperin. If your skin is sensitive, you might love it! It speeds up wound healing properties, and it might help with capillaries. <b>Butylene Glycol </b>is a common ingredient in products. It's not only a solvent. We use butylene glycol because it helps with the penetration of active ingredients, protects products from drying and moisturizes skin and hair.

At the same time, it can moisturize the skin, and it has no unpleasant effects on your epidermis. <b>Niacinamide</b> is a form of vitamin B3 - a vitamin soluble in water. It helps with problems like wrinkles, acne, skin texture, and enlarged pores and promotes collagen synthesis. Niacinamide makes the skin barrier stronger. It might be handy in cellulite treatments. Do you want to fight pigmentation or uneven skin? Try to mix niacinamide with Kojic Acid, Arbutin, Vitamin C, Tranexamic Acid or Retinol. <b>Portulaca Oleracea Extract</b> is a source of polysaccharides, flavonoids, betaxanthins, betacyanins and glutathione. It's one of the plants used in Korean traditional medicine, but in skincare, this antioxidant has soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. <b>Centella Asiatica Extract </b>is probably the most popular extract in skincare. It comes under a few names - Asiatic pennywort, tiger grass or Gotu kola. Centella Asiatica's roots are in Ayurveda. This extract is successful because it's a source of triterpene saponins - madecassoside and asiaticoside. Centella Asiatica Extract has anti-inflammatory properties. It speeds up the wound-healing process. You can use it to treat acne since it has soothing and antibacterial properties. It boosts fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin or even helps with hyaluronic acid synthesis. Centella is recommended for rosacea and cellulitis since it helps with blood microcirculation. In hair care, Centella can help with hair growth. <b>Ficus Carica (Fig) Fruit Extract</b> is a source of vitamins C, B1, B2 and B6. It's an antioxidant and it's supposed to support collagen synthesis. Fig contains substances that might make your skin sensitive to sunlight so always remember to use sunscreen when you use Fig Fruit Extract. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Saccharum Officinarum (Sugarcane) Extract</b> or Sugar Cane Extract is a moisturizing ingredient.

It has antibacterial and soothing properties. <b>Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract </b>or Neem Leaf Extract has antibacterial properties. <b>Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract </b>or Turmeric Root Extract is an ingredient that everyone with acne-prone skin should know. Turmeric is a herb used in traditional medicine, but you probably know it as a spice. What's so great about this ingredient? It's an antioxidant with soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. It might reduce redness on your skin and it might be even helpful with acne, sebum production, wrinkles or pigmentation. <b>Ocimum Sanctum Leaf Extract </b>or Tulsi Leaf Extract has anti-inflammatory and soothing properties. <b>Polygonum Cuspidatum (Japanese Knotweed) Root Extract</b> is an antioxidant with anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. <b>Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract </b>is an antioxidant.

Green tea is a source of many positive-to-the-skin substances such as catechins (EGCG, EGC, EC, CG), flavonoids, amino acids, vitamin C, and minerals. It works for all skin types. Since it has antibacterial properties, many products for young, acne-prone skin contain this ingredient. It has soothing properties, and it's good to use it along with sunscreen to boost the protection of your skin. <b>Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract</b> is an ingredient which I prefer to see in skincare than seeing liquorice as food. It's an amazing antioxidant with anti-inflammatory properties. It can help with acne and visible red veins and it brightens the skin. Or I should say it works on pigmentation. What's better than an anti-inflammatory ingredient with brightening properties? Liquorice is not new, since it's a popular ingredient in traditional herbal medicine. It's a source of glycyrrhizinic acid and glabridin. <b>Corallina Officinalis Extract</b> or red algae extract is an antioxidant. It's a source of Vitamin C, E, zinc and iron. It has soothing and anti-aging properties. It might help with moisture level. <b>Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract</b> is a source of camphor, pinene, terpineol and rosmarinic acid.

It boosts hair growth and calms the scalp. <b>Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Leaf Extract</b> is a plant that you might know from traditional medicine. It's a source of chamazulene and bisabolol. Skincare brands use Chamomilla as an anti-inflammatory agent. Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Leaf Extract has soothing properties. <b>Hydrogenated Lecithin</b> is a version of lecithin.

In hair care, Gluconolactone helps with the scalp but also adds moisture to the hair. <b>Capryloyl Salicylic Acid </b>is nothing else than lipohydroxy acid. Capryloyl Salicylic Acid is related to salicylic acid. LHA has a bigger molecule which makes it more gentle on the skin than salicylic acid, but that also means Capryloyl Salicylic Acid doesn't work as deep as Salicylic Acid. It removes dead skin cells and balances sebum production. Ceramides naturally occur in the skin - it's like cement in the skin. <b>Ceramide NP </b>strengthens the skin barrier to prevent dehydration. <b>Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate</b> is a probiotic. A few years ago ferments became a thing in skincare because they are amazing for sensitive skin. Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate has soothing properties, it supports the microbiome of the skin. <b>Lactococcus Ferment Lysate</b> is a probiotic obtained from Gram-positive bacteria. It might sound scary, but probiotics in products are very useful - not only in the beauty industry. It supports your natural skin microbiome. <b>Bifida Ferment Filtrate</b> is a moisturizing antioxidant. It has a huge meaning for the microbiome. Bifida Ferment Lysate is a probiotic and a product of the fermentation process. Bifida Ferment Lysate strengthens the skin and its natural microbiome. Bifida ferment lysate can make sensitive skin secure and less susceptible to the negative influence of external factors. This ingredient can help fix the damage caused by UV radiation or fix damaged DNA. <b>Schizosaccharomyces Ferment Filtrate</b> is a product of fermentation, this ingredient has moisturizing properties. <b>Hydroxyacetophenone</b> is an antioxidant that is supposed to help preservatives in the formula. <b>Ethylhexylglycerin</b> is a preservative with subtle moisturizing and antimicrobial properties. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/rlPuFDv.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="The onleaf Vegan Heartleaf PHA Toner" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/rlPuFDv.jpg" title="The onleaf Vegan Heartleaf PHA Toner" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
How does The onleaf Vegan Heartleaf PHA Toner work? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">It's a delicate exfoliating toner based on PHA. I do use it with retinol, but I'm a trained professional and PHA in low concentrations has a moisturizing effect. Still, if you're new to retinol I would advise you to stick to not experimenting with too many actives at the same time. It's a liquid toner and in this case, since it contains PHA I would recommend using it with a cotton pad. I'm not a big fan of toners and making reviews of them usually makes me bored since many toners are similar, but this one is awesome if you don't want to add stronger exfoliant but you want to add moisture to the skin and gently help your skin with the natural process of exfoliation. It didn't cause me any redness and it's an economic option. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/4B6Uio0.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="The onleaf Vegan Greenery Repair Cica Watery Gel Cream" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/4B6Uio0.jpg" title="The onleaf Vegan Greenery Repair Cica Watery Gel Cream" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
The onleaf Vegan Greenery Repair Cica Watery Gel Cream - Packaging </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">The onleaf Vegan Greenery Repair Cica Watery Gel Cream comes in a paper box, inside you can find a tube made out of easy-to-squish plastic. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
The onleaf Vegan Greenery Repair Cica Watery Gel Cream - Texture & Scent </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">The texture is lightweight, it doesn't smell like anything to me. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/0r9jjdk.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="The onleaf Vegan Greenery Repair Cica Watery Gel Cream - Ingredients" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/0r9jjdk.jpg" title="The onleaf Vegan Greenery Repair Cica Watery Gel Cream - Ingredients" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
The onleaf Vegan Greenery Repair Cica Watery Gel Cream - Ingredients </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote>Centella Asiatica Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Water, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Water, Vinyl Dimethicone, Niacinamide, 1,2-Hexanediol, Cetearyl Alcohol, C12-16 Alcohols, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Cetearyl Glucoside, Hydrogenated Polydecene, Squalane, Madecassoside, Asiaticoside, Asiatic Acid, Madecassic Acid, Lactobacillus Ferment, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Panthenol, Carbomer, Palmitic Acid, Sodium Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Polyisobutene, Glyceryl Caprylate, Allantoin, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Pentylene Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Disodium EDTA, Caprylyl Glycol, Hydrolyzed Jojoba Esters, Tromethamine, Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside, Sorbitan Oleate, Cynanchum Atratum Extract, Houttuynia Cordata Extract, Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract, Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract </blockquote></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Centella Asiatica Extract </b>is probably the most popular extract in skincare. It comes under a few names - Asiatic pennywort, tiger grass or Gotu kola. Centella Asiatica's roots are in Ayurveda. This extract is successful because it's a source of triterpene saponins - madecassoside and asiaticoside. Centella Asiatica Extract has anti-inflammatory properties. It speeds up the wound-healing process. You can use it to treat acne since it has soothing and antibacterial properties. It boosts fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin or even helps with hyaluronic acid synthesis. Centella is recommended for rosacea and cellulitis since it helps with blood microcirculation. In hair care, Centella can help with hair growth. <b>Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Water </b>is a green tea hydrosol. It refreshes, soothes and hydrates the skin. <b>Glycerin</b> or Glycerol is a humectant. Its origin can be natural or synthetic - depending on the product. It protects TEWL (transepidermal water loss) and naturally occurs in the skin. It's one of the NMFs - natural moisturizing factors. It's practical in hair care. Glycerin won't clog your skin or irritate it just the opposite - it protects your skin from irritation. <b>Butylene Glycol</b> is a common ingredient in products. It's not only a solvent. We use butylene glycol because it helps with the penetration of active ingredients, protects products from drying and moisturizes skin and hair. This ingredient can prevent hair loss and make your hair stronger. Water hides in cosmetic products under names such as Aqua or Eau. It's a solvent, but it's not your regular drinking water. Water in skin care needs to fit some standards. It should be clean and free from minerals, microorganisms or other substances. Usually, water makes up the majority of the content of the product. Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3 - a vitamin soluble in water. It helps with problems like wrinkles, acne, skin texture, and enlarged pores and promotes collagen synthesis. <b>Niacinamide</b> makes the skin barrier stronger. It might be handy in cellulite treatments. Do you want to fight pigmentation or uneven skin? Try to mix niacinamide with Kojic Acid, Arbutin, Vitamin C, Tranexamic Acid or Retinol. <b>1,2-Hexanediol </b>is a synthetic solvent and preservative - it protects products from microorganisms by boosting other preservatives. At the same time, it can moisturize the skin, and it has no unpleasant effects on your epidermis. <b>Cetearyl Alcohol</b> is a fatty alcohol. In the beauty industry, it's an emollient. Many people associate alcohol with something awful for the epidermis, but not every alcohol is nasty. Cetearyl alcohol leaves a moisturizing film on the skin to prevent your skin from transepidermal water loss (TEWL). We use Cetearyl alcohol to create an emulsion. <b>C12-16 Alcohols</b> is an emollient with antistatic properties. It can thicken and stabilise the formula. <b>Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride</b> is a combination of coconut oil and glycerin. It's a notable emollient, quite common in skincare. It leaves a protective film on the surface of the epidermis to save your cutis from dehydration. Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride has a significant role in skin care products - it makes the application process effortless. Some people might experience pore-clogging after using Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride but pore-clogging and skin reactions to ingredients are individual. What works for you might not work for someone else. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Cetearyl Glucoside </b>is an emulsifier. It can be synthetic or it can come from coconut. <b>Hydrogenated Polydecene </b>is an emollient that leaves a silky, delicate, non-occlusive film on the surface of the skin. This ingredient is ideal for sensitive skin. <b>Squalane</b> is an ingredient very similar to our sebum. Squalane and squalene sound similar, but there's a difference. Squalane has no double bonds while squalene has double bonds. What does it mean? Squalane is a more stable version of squalene. What I love about this ingredient is how well it works with all skin types, and how our skin needs it. Believe me, if your skin is irritated - go for squalane! This ingredient is usually derived from sugarcane or olives. It acts like an emollient and you need it in your life. <b>Madecassoside</b> is a bioactive part of Centella Asiatica. It's an antioxidant and can stimulate collagen and elastin synthesis to promote wound healing. It has soothing effects, and it might have anti-aging properties if we combine it with vitamin C. <b>Asiaticoside</b> is one of the terpenoids found in Centella Asiatica. It's a substance with antioxidant properties. This terpenoid can improve your skin by speeding up the wound-healing process. It can also help with wrinkles and boost collagen production. <b>Asiatic Acid</b> is a terpenoid found in Centella Asiatica. This ingredient stimulates collagen production and wound healing. It has soothing properties, but it's also an antioxidant. <b>Madecassic Acid</b> is a bioactive part of Centella Asiatica. It's an antioxidant with calming properties. It can help with sensitive skin and wounds by speeding up the healing process. <b>Lactobacillus Ferment</b> is a probiotic with a positive effect on the microbiome of the skin. This soothing ingredient can moderate sebum production and help with acne since it has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. <b>Hydrogenated Lecithin</b> is a version of lecithin. It works as an emollient in the formulas. <b>Panthenol</b> is a humectant. It prevents skin from TEWL (Transepidermal Water Loss). Panthenol is also known as vitamin B5, and it helps with inflammation. Panthenol can soothe the skin irritated by preservatives, scent ingredients, and chemical sunscreens - it might have a meaning for lipids in our skin and skin barrier. It speeds up the healing process. It's good to use it after sunbathing. In hair care, Panthenol has moisturizing properties. If you have problems detangling your hair or hair growth go for Panthenol. It is good to mix it with niacinamide and zinc oxide. You can see it in products for atopic dermatitis or psoriasis. A carbomer is a synthetic thickener. <b>Palmitic Acid</b> is a fatty acid and an oily emollient. It works as an emulsifier. <b>Sodium Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer</b> is a stabilizer. <b>Polyisobutene</b> is a thickener. Glyceryl Caprylate is a natural oily emollient and emulsifier. It creates a delicate film on the surface of the skin. It has some antimicrobial properties. <b>Allantoin</b> is an ingredient that naturally occurs in our bodies, but brands usually go for the synthetic form of this substance. It comes from comfrey or soybean roots. It's a humectant with soothing and wound-healing properties. <b>Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate</b> is a soothing and antibacterial ingredient. For many people, it's the only acceptable form of Licorice. This ingredient has many positive meanings for the skin - it has moisturizing properties, and it can even lighten the dark spot. Even sensitive skin should enjoy it. <b>Pentylene Glycol</b> is mostly a solvent and stabilizer, but it has great moisturizing properties. <b>Ethylhexylglycerin</b> is a preservative with subtle moisturizing and antimicrobial properties. <b>Disodium EDTA</b> neutralizes metal ions in the formula to keep products fresh. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Caprylyl Glycol</b> is an oily emollient and humectant. It leaves a moisturizing film on the surface of the skin. <b>Hydrolyzed Jojoba Esters</b> is an emulsifier obtained from jojoba. <b>Tromethamine</b> is a synthetic pH adjuster. <b>Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside </b>is a non-ionic surfactant and stabilizer. Sorbitan Oleate is a non-ionic surfactant. It's also an emulsifier. <b>Cynanchum Atratum Extract</b> is an anti-inflammatory ingredient. It has a soothing effect and it might have some anti-aging properties. Cynanchum Atratum originates from Traditional Chinese Medicine (it's called Bai Wei). <b>Houttuynia Cordata Extract</b> is an ingredient which some people with acne-prone skin love while for me, my experience was not bad but still all hail Centella! Houttuynia Cordata is a plant, which we still use in Traditional Chinese and Japanese Medicine, it's also known as Heart Leaf or Chinese lizard tail. Funny fact about Houttuynia - it's also called Fish Wort, Fish Leaf, etc. because it's an edible plant and it usually leaves a fishy aftertaste. I eat fish a lot, but I'm not a fan of the fishy taste of low-quality matcha (yep, I'm a tea & fish snob) so I don't think I would enjoy it, I'll stay with enjoying Houttuynia magic in skincare. Houttuynia is an antioxidant with anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. It's also a source of quercetin, quercitrin, rutin and hyperin. If your skin is sensitive, you might love it! It speeds up wound healing properties, and it might help with capillaries. <b>Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract</b> or White Willow Bark Extract is an astringent. It's a source of salicylic acid. It's a great ingredient for acne-prone skin since it provides some soothing and antibacterial properties. <b>Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract</b> is an antioxidant. Scutellaria Baicalensis also known as the Chinese skullcap is one of the fundamental herbs in Chinese traditional medicine. Skullcap Root Extract has anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties. It's a source of flavonoids, alkaloids and other substances. It's great for sensitive skin as well as acne-prone skin. It might help you with pigmentation. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
How does The onleaf Vegan Greenery Repair Cica Watery Gel Cream work? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Right now we are in the winter mode, but during summer and autumn, The onleaf Vegan Greenery Repair Cica Watery Gel Cream worked perfectly! It contains 5-cicatrix complex (Centella Extract, Madecassoside, Asiaticoside, Asiatic Acid & Madecassic Acid). It's a lightweight cream suitable for sensitive skin including rosacea. It's moisturizing and for spring to autumn it works perfectly, but during winter time I need something more rich. Still, if you want one product from The onleaf then go for this cream first! It's the first product I started to use from the onleaf and I ran out of it first as well, but still, it's a good moisturizer, worth a try. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/7nWqkIf.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="The onleaf Blemish Vegan Low PH Cleanser, The onleaf Vegan Heartleaf PHA Toner and The onleaf Vegan Greenery Repair Cica Watery Gel Cream" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/7nWqkIf.jpg" title="The onleaf Blemish Vegan Low PH Cleanser, The onleaf Vegan Heartleaf PHA Toner and The onleaf Vegan Greenery Repair Cica Watery Gel Cream" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">

Tripple cleansing? Which method is better? Should I use cleansing oil? Cleansing balm or maybe choose micellar water? Why do I even need to cleanse your skin? Cleansing is the first part of the skincare routine, but do you do it properly? Or maybe your cleansing routine needs a tiny booster or change? Let's talk about cleansing! </div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">It's not a secret that lately, I started to post once again in Polish, but this time, I'm focusing on the Polish language only on Instagram and TikTok. I thought, why not start from the beginning? I think that even for my English content, this move is beneficial because sometimes I forget about basic things people want to know. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
What's a cleanser? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">According to the Cambridge Dictionary Cleanser is "a substance used for cleaning, especially your face". That's correct. If we want to be more specific we might add that a cleanser is a substance that contains cleansing agents, another name for them is surfactants. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Cleanser is a product that removes dirt, sebum and products (makeup, sunscreen), but before cleanser, there was soap. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Types of cleansers
There are different types of cleansers. Some people use soap to cleanse their skin, some prefer micellar water, milk cleanser, cleansing oil or cleansing gel. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Soap </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">We can consider soap as the first cleanser. I'm not even telling you how many of my clients used Dove soap to cleanse their skin, and I still don't get how their skin was so flawless since my skin reacts to soap with acne. What's wrong with soap? It has an alkaline pH of around 9, and our skin should have a pH of around 5.5 (slightly acidic). One thing I should note. Dove soap is not a soap, but it's a syndet. What's that? </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Syndet </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Syndet or Synthetic Detergent is an alternative for soap. Syndets have a lower pH than soap (around 5.5 up to neutral pH), so now it makes sense why so many people use this product and have nice skin. Syndets might look like a bar soap or it might be liquid. One of the most popular syndets in Europe is La Roche Posay Lipikar Syndet AP. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Micellar Water </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I wish I could have the ability to tell how micellar water works with simple language. Micellar water is a product that contains micelles. Once again I need a little help from the Cambridge dictionary - micelles are "small cleansing molecules that are dispersed and suspended in water."
Micellar Water is a delicate formula. It removes makeup, dirt, oil and it has beneficial properties for the skin. Although brands like Bioderma recommend not to use water after using their Sensibio H2O micellar water, I still use water after using micellar water to make sure surfactants are not staying on my skin. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Cleansing Milk </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Believe me or not, I used to love cleansing milk formulas since they are delicate. They are made for dry and sensitive skin types. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Cleansing Gel, Cream or Foam </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Water-based products. These products need water to create a foam. Depending on the surfactant used in a product, it might be a milder product. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Cleansing Oil or Cleansing Balm </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Oil-based products. These products are the best to remove makeup, sebum or products like sunscreens. Some oils are emulsifying (I believe the majority of Korean and Japanese cleansing oils are emulsifying ones) like Purito From Green Avocado Cleansing Balm or Klairs Gentle Black Deep Cleansing Oil. Emulsifying ones are easier to remove since you can add water to them and these products are changing into milk. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">There are also cleansing oils that aren't emulsifying, I see that mostly local (European) brands are creating non-emulsifying cleansing oils since they are created for the OCM - oil cleansing method. I've tried cleansing oil like that from Resibo (a Polish skincare brand), and I believe the OCM method is not for me. It takes time, and removing non-emulsifying oil can take ages. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Does pH in cleanser matter? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Yes! Back in the day, toners were supposed to balance the pH of the skin after cleansing. Right now, toners have other purposes like nourishing and adding moisture to the skin. If you use a water-based cleanser, you might want to choose products with a pH similar to the skin. A higher pH of the skin is bad for the natural skin barrier, it can disrupt the function of the skin barrier and cause infections or irritation. Higher pH of the skin is also a good environment for acne. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">If you have acne and you tried a series of products but nothing helps with your skin condition, you might want to check your cleansing gel and its pH. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Can I use pure water to clean my skin? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Some people don't like to use cleansers or they think that water is the only good solution to cleanse their skin. I believe that pure water is better than no cleansing at all. If your skin is very dry or your skin barrier needs to rebuild then using pure water instead of any cleansing product might be good. Still, it's not something I would recommend doing every single day. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
What's double cleansing? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Double cleansing is mostly associated with Asian skincare routines, especially Korean ones. I even found some articles (not research papers) that this method of cleansing comes from the 14th century. Sadly, I couldn't find a source of this information. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Double cleansing is a method of cleansing dry skin with oil-based products like cleansing oil or balm and following it with cleansing foam or cleansing gel. Between these two steps, we use water (not too cold, not too warm) to emulsify the oil. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Using double cleansing is supposed to remove makeup and make sure that none of the impurities are left on the skin. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
What's triple cleansing? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I'm not joking, there's not only double cleansing, there's also triple cleansing. It's about using a makeup remover before double cleansing to remove makeup. I'm not a fan of using makeup wipes, but if you have heavy makeup then using cleansing pads soaked in micellar water and leaving them for a while on the skin before double cleansing can make it easier for makeup to remove. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><h2 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">My favourite cleansers </span></h2><div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/6YhkyuJ.jpg%5B/img%5D" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Klairs Gentle Black Deep Cleansing Oil" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/6YhkyuJ.jpg%5B/img%5D" title="Klairs Gentle Black Deep Cleansing Oil" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">

With Olens, it's possible! This time I'm testing three different models: daily lenses Olens Glow Natural Mocha Brown, monthly lenses Olens Glowy Brown and another monthly design Olens Big Glowy Mocha Brown. Which one is my favourite? </div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Spoiler time: all of them are my favourite! The designs and shades fit my blue/green eyes so well! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">About Olens </span></h3><div style="text-align: justify;">Olens is the no. 1 premium colour contact lens brand from South Korea. This brand makes regular lenses as well as coloured lenses. It's a pioneer in Beauty&Healthy eye styling, and it's a brand that is recognised all over the world. Olens products were used in many Kdramas and photoshoots. The brand was in the spotlight of many beauty programs in Korea.
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Can coloured lenses be corrective? </span></h3><div style="text-align: justify;">
I feel like many people think that contact lenses are not for eyes with no vision problems and that coloured lenses shouldn't be used by people with vision issues. That's not true! The main reason for wearing lenses for many people is aesthetic issues or comfort issues - I started to wear lenses because I find glasses more problematic, and they usually don't fit me well. Lenses don't make me tired and I feel like thanks to contact lenses my sight is doing better than it would do with glasses. Coloured lenses are sometimes called "cosmetic lenses" since they change the visual colour of your iris, and that's something some people don't know - when you buy coloured lenses from Olens you can fit them to your needs, if you need corrective aspect of lenses, you can choose the shade of the lens and power. All the lenses I tested in this post are -3.00 power.

How to choose lenses for my eyes and skin? </span></h3><div style="text-align: justify;">
If you want to try Olens so badly, but don't know what colour fits your skin - Olens has the <a href="https://olensglobal.com/gallery/regram.php" target="_blank">#FindMyOlens</a> option which helps you choose a lens shade that fits your skin tone. You can also choose graphic size and colour. There are even styling videos that can help you choose a makeup style to fit your eyes with Olens lenses on.
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
What's Puscon? </span></h3><div style="text-align: justify;">
Since some lenses used by New Jeans are mostly based on Puscon, it's good to know what you're using. One of the Puscon's features you should know about is that Puscon is the safest biomaterial for contact lenses. It forms something called a "Strong Hydration Shield". It adds more moisture to the eye. Puscon prevents protein deposition and has a strong UV-block function to protect your eyes from UV radiation. Yes, UV radiation is dangerous for eyes, and it's quite rare to find lenses that block UV. My regular monthly lenses are made out of silicone-hydrogel, and Puscon is more comfortable since it contains even more water and they don't get dry as fast.

Olens Glow Natural Mocha Brown </span></h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote>

</blockquote></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">
Olens Glow Natural Mocha Brown is a design I tried before, and I enjoy this model a lot. In general Glow/Glowy series is my favourite. These lenses are NewJeans Hyein's pick. What I love about Glowy Natural's design is the gold highlighter detail with brown limbal ring - it looks so nice with my natural eye colour. I tried this model before, and I use them mostly when I travel somewhere or I have an important date. This design is gorgeous, and the model itself is comfortable to wear.

</blockquote></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">
Olens Glowy Brown is NewJeans Haerin's pick. These lenses are so beautiful. A dark gold shade mixed with a soft black base is a design I like the most. The good thing is that these lenses are made out of Puscon. It's not a surprise that I enjoy this model as well. It looks good, it's comfortable and easy to wear. It blends super nicely with my eyes.

Olens Big Glowy Mocha Brown </span></h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote>
DIA (diameter) 14,2 mm | G.DIA (graphic diameter) 13,6 mm | Base curve 8.6 mm | Water content: 40% | Material: Silicone Hydrogel
</blockquote></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">
Olens Big Glowy Mocha Brown is a new design, and it's NewJeans Haerin's Pick! I love the toned-up highlight pattern for the dolly eyes effect. The dark and bold limbal ring mixed with this brown highlight is an ideal mix for my eyes. I was a bit worried that the bold limbal ring might be too much, but you know what? It's ideal for me. The graphic DIA might be a bit bigger but still, these lenses look good on eyes because they blend so well.
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
I am from the US, can I still order lenses from Olens? </span></h3><div style="text-align: justify;">
Yes. Contact lenses in the US are not sold as easily as in Europe. In comparison, in Europe, I can ask my optometrist or eye doctor to order lenses for me or I can order them on my own. Some brands are available in stores so even if you're out of lenses you can buy them. I had a situation when I got my first lenses and I didn't know that 1-day lenses are not as easy to put as 1-month lenses I needed to grab a new pair in a random drugstore in Paris. The US situation looks different because of the US FCLCA (The Fairness to Contact Lens Consumers Act) so Olens can be ordered if you're living in the US but your lenses will go through a prescription verification system.

What's a toner? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">A toner is usually a water-like product that contains additional ingredients like panthenol, hyaluronic acid or even AHA or PHA acids. We use it after cleansing to make sure that the pH of the skin is balanced (pH around 5.5). </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/i7iPIgf.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Kaine Kombu Balancing Ampoule Toner" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/i7iPIgf.jpg" title="Kaine Kombu Balancing Ampoule Toner" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Do I need toner in my routine? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Back in the day, toners were used after soaps and cleansers to balance the pH of the skin. Nowadays, lots of cleansers have the right pH so we mostly use them to provide additional moisture to the skin. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Why should I go for Kombucha? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Kombucha (also known as tea mushroom) is a fermented black or green tea. Kombucha is not only for your gut microbiome but for your skin microbiome too. Kombucha is popular in China, but also in Russia. It's a source of amino acids, enzymes, polyphenols and B-group vitamins. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
About the brand </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Kaine is a Korean skincare brand. The name Kaine comes from a Greek word that translates to "new". Kaine is a vegan brand and the main focus is to promote a conscious and harmonious way of living and include them in skincare products. Kaine is not only a cruelty-free and vegan brand. This company donates a portion of its profits to animal rights organizations. Kaine takes care of the environment as well. The packaging is based on PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled) materials like plastics and glass. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I'm not a fan of EWG, but Korean brands including Kaine are still using EWG as a way to show people that the brand is using clean ingredients. Remember that even water is a chemical and you shouldn't be scared of ingredients, instead resource of a product is more important. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Kaine Kombu Balancing Ampoule Toner - Packaging </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">The version of Kaine Kombu Balancing Ampoule Toner I was testing is renewed ones. The change is in the packaging since this version is created out of 100% PCR PET (Polyethylene terephthalate). This bottle comes in a paper box. I enjoy the fact that the tip of this toner limits how much toner you pour onto your hand or cotton pad. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/lDjY2BG.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Kaine Kombu Balancing Ampoule Toner" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/lDjY2BG.jpg" title="Kaine Kombu Balancing Ampoule Toner" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Kaine Kombu Balancing Ampoule Toner - Texture & Scent </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Kaine Kombu Balancing Ampoule Toner has a brown, liquid texture that reminds me of tea! And it makes sense since the main ingredient in this product is tea ferment. The scent is very characteristic and funny, it doesn't remind me of anything, but it has a scent. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/5XhkKio.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Kaine Kombu Balancing Ampoule Toner" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/5XhkKio.jpg" title="Kaine Kombu Balancing Ampoule Toner" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Kaine Kombu Balancing Ampoule Toner - Ingredients </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote>Saccharomyces/Xylinum/Black Tea Ferment, Water, Propanediol, Glycerin, Dipropylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Betaine, Glycereth-26, Chondrus Crispus Extract, Saccharum Officinarum (Sugarcane) Extract, Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Extract, Cynanchum Atratum Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Althaea Rosea Flower Extract, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Hyaluronic Acid, Panthenol, Hydroxyethyl Urea, Glyceryl Glucoside, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Ethylhexylglycerin, Butylene Glycol, Tromethamine, Dextrin, Allantoin, Glucose, Beta-Glucan, Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate, Tocopherol, Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Potassium Hyaluronate </blockquote></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Saccharomyces/Xylinum/Black Tea Ferment i</b>s a product derived from black tea. It has smoothing and anti-ageing properties. <b>Water</b> hides in cosmetic products under names such as Aqua or Eau. It's a solvent, but it's not your regular drinking water. Water in skin care needs to fit some standards. It should be clean and free from minerals, microorganisms or other substances. Usually, water makes up the majority of the content of the product. <b>Propanediol</b> is also known as natural glycol - an alternative to propylene glycol. Propanediol is a solvent with additional moisturizing properties. It makes the product smooth to the touch. It can even improve the effectiveness of active ingredients. <b>Glycerin</b> or Glycerol is a humectant. Its origin can be natural or synthetic - depending on the product. It protects TEWL (transepidermal water loss) and naturally occurs in the skin. It's one of the NMFs - natural moisturizing factors. It's practical in hair care. Glycerin won't clog your skin or irritate it just the opposite - it protects your skin from irritation. <b>Dipropylene Glycol</b> is a solvent with moisturizing properties. <b>1,2-Hexanediol</b> is a synthetic solvent and preservative - it protects products from microorganisms by boosting other preservatives. At the same time, it can moisturize the skin, and it has no unpleasant effects on your epidermis. <b>Betaine</b> is an amino acid. In skincare products, we use it for its moisturizing properties. Betaine keeps the water balance of the skin. It makes wrinkles appear less visible, and it soothes irritated skin. In hair care, betaine doesn't only moisturize the hair. It makes hair soft and shiny. Betaine in cosmetics usually comes from sweet beetroots. It naturally occurs in the skin and hair. <b>Glycereth-26 i</b>s a synthetic emollient and humectant. Even the name reminds us of glycerin - it's not a surprise since Glycereth-26 is related to glycerin. It has thickening properties. <b>Chondrus Crispus Extract </b>or Carrageenan Extract is a polysaccharide derived from Chondrus Crispus, red algae. The other name of this algae is Irish moss. It's a moisturizing ingredient that leaves a film on the surface of the skin. It's a source of beta-carotene, zeaxanthin and lutein. It also works as a thickener. <b>Saccharum Officinarum (Sugarcane) Extract </b>or Sugar Cane Extract is a moisturizing ingredient. It's a source of calcium, iron and vitamins. It's also a source of AHA acids. It's recommended for acne-prone skin. <b>Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Extract</b> is a source of polyphenols and caffeine. It's an antioxidant that improves blood circulation. <b>Cynanchum Atratum Extract</b> is an anti-inflammatory ingredient. It has a soothing effect and it might have some anti-aging properties. Cynanchum Atratum originates from Traditional Chinese Medicine (it's called Bai Wei). <b>Sodium Hyaluronate</b> or sodium salt of hyaluronic acid. It's a form of hyaluronic acid and naturally occurs in the skin. Sodium Hyaluronate has strong water-binding properties. Sodium hyaluronate combined with elastin and collagen is like a scaffolding for the skin. It has hydrating properties and leaves a hydrating film on the skin, but sodium hyaluronate prevents skincare products from drying. <b>Althaea Rosea Flower Extract</b> or Common Hollyhock Flower Extract is supposed to moisturize and soothe the skin. In herbal medicine, this plant is considered to be an emollient with soothing properties. <b>Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid</b> is a low-weight humectant. We have to remember that not every molecule can get through the skin surface and lower molecule HA can penetrate the skin deeper and bring moisture inside the skin. It's a natural polymer that binds water in the skin to prevent TEWL (transepidermal water loss). </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/hIfmPQg.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Kaine Kombu Balancing Ampoule Toner" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/hIfmPQg.jpg" title="Kaine Kombu Balancing Ampoule Toner" /></a></div><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Hyaluronic Acid </b>is an ingredient loved by everyone! Hyaluronic acid naturally occurs in the skin. It's a glycosaminoglycan or GAG. What does that mean? It's a long polysaccharide - nothing else than sugar, and we all know what sugars do in the skin. It's not different from Hyaluronic Acid - it acts like a humectant. One HA molecule is supposed to hold up to 1000x heavier molecules than this one single HA molecule. Hyaluronic acid can have different molecular weights - smaller molecules are usually more hydrating than bigger ones. <b>Panthenol</b> is a humectant. It prevents skin from TEWL (Transepidermal Water Loss). Panthenol is also known as vitamin B5, and it helps with inflammation. Panthenol can soothe the skin irritated by preservatives, scent ingredients, and chemical sunscreens - it might have a meaning for lipids in our skin and skin barrier. It speeds up the healing process. It's good to use it after sunbathing. In hair care, Panthenol has moisturizing properties. If you have problems detangling your hair or hair growth go for Panthenol. It is good to mix it with niacinamide and zinc oxide. You can see it in products for atopic dermatitis or psoriasis. <b>Hydroxyethyl Urea</b> is urea's derivative. It's a water-soluble humectant. Higher amounts of this ingredient might be exfoliating. <b>Glyceryl Glucoside</b> is a humectant. <b>Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer</b> is a synthetic polymer and quite a large molecule. It works as a thickener and emulsion stabiliser. <b>Ethylhexylglycerin</b> is a preservative with subtle moisturizing and antimicrobial properties. <b>Butylene Glycol </b>is a common ingredient in products. It's not only a solvent. We use butylene glycol because it helps with the penetration of active ingredients, protects products from drying and moisturizes skin and hair. This ingredient can prevent hair loss and make your hair stronger. <b>Tromethamine</b> is a synthetic pH adjuster. <b>Dextrin</b> is an emulsifier with stabilizing properties. <b>Allantoin</b> is an ingredient that naturally occurs in our bodies, but brands usually go for the synthetic form of this substance. It comes from comfrey or soybean roots. It's a humectant with soothing and wound-healing properties. Glucose is a monosaccharide - a simple sugar, and we all know that sugars in skincare are nothing else than humectants. <b>Beta-glucan </b>is a polysaccharide. It can come from yeast, seaweed or fungi. It's one of the best humectants with soothing properties. It might help with reducing wrinkle visibility on the epidermis. Some sources say it might be an antioxidant. It's good to mix it with niacinamide and retinoids or use it after skincare treatments to heal the skin quickly. Beta-glucan leaves a film on the skin to prevent TEWL and lock the moisture inside the skin. <b>Hydroxypropyltrimonium</b> <b>Hyaluronate</b> is a big molecule related to hyaluronic acid. It leaves a moisturizing film on the surface of the skin. <b>Tocopherol</b> is an antioxidant known as Vitamin E. It's an oil-soluble vitamin that fights free radicals and makes UVB protection and natural lipid barrier stronger. It's good to mix it with vitamin C for better effects. Oily skin might react with pore-clogging to vitamin E. It is not true that vitamin E works as a preservative or helps with scars. <b>Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate </b>is related to sodium hyaluronate. It boosts moisture in the skin and elasticity. It helps prevent skin from TEWL (transepidermal water loss). <b>Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate</b> is a smaller version of sodium hyaluronate. ULMW Hyaluronic Acid (ultra-low molecular weight HA) penetrates skin more easily than Hyaluronic Acid. It's a good moisturizer that prevents skin from dehydration. It works in deeper layers of the skin. <b>Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer</b> is related to sodium hyaluronate. It's a good moisturizer. <b>Potassium Hyaluronate</b> is a hydrophilic ingredient that prevents TEWL (transepidermal water loss). It's a synthetic humectant. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/BAGgX3m.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Kaine Kombu Balancing Ampoule Toner" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/BAGgX3m.jpg" title="Kaine Kombu Balancing Ampoule Toner" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
How does Kaine Kombu Balancing Ampoule Toner work? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I guess you can spot that I barely ever comment on toners. Why? Because there's not much to say about products like this. You can go wrong or right with toner, and Kaine Kombu Balancing Ampoule Toner is a good example of how you can create a good toner and base it on 60% fermented green tea. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Usually, the main ingredient of toner is water, but Kaine decided to use a different solution. Aesthetic packaging mixed with formula rich in fermented tea, 1% panthenol and hyaluronic acid-related ingredients is an answer to problems such as skin dryness. The formula is very liquid, and it has a specific scent, but for me, it's not a problem. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I wouldn't say it's a toner that lasts me a long time like Klairs, but it's still a good toner which I use daily and I see myself buying another bottle of it. It's more like a toner for daily use or summer than a rich toner that I can use during winter. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
How to create a toner mask with Kaine Kombu Balancing Ampoule Toner? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Step 1: </b>Soak pads in Kaine Kombu Balancing Ampoule Toner - you can do that in a bowl or just pour toner onto the pads. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Step 2: </b>Apply pads onto your cheeks - you can find great pads for that on YesStyle like <a href="https://www.yesstyle.com/en/pyunkang-yul-1-3-cotton-pad-160pcs-160-pcs/info.html/pid.1071635852?rco=BETWEENDOTS&utm_term=BETWEENDOTS&utm_medium=Influencer&utm_source=dynamic&mcg=influencer" target="_blank">Pyunkang Yul 1/3 Cotton Pads</a>*, <a href="https://www.yesstyle.com/en/missha-cotton-pads-80-pcs/info.html/pid.1093014842?rco=BETWEENDOTS&utm_term=BETWEENDOTS&utm_medium=Influencer&utm_source=dynamic&mcg=influencer" target="_blank">Missha Cotton Pads</a>* or <a href="https://www.yesstyle.com/en/dear-klairs-toner-mate-2-in-1-cotton-pad-120pcs/info.html/pid.1060708142?rco=BETWEENDOTS&utm_term=BETWEENDOTS&utm_medium=Influencer&utm_source=dynamic&mcg=influencer" target="_blank">Klairs Toner Mate 2 in 1 Cotton Pad</a>*.

How to use Kaine Kombu Balancing Ampoule Toner in the 7-skin method? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">The 7-skin method is not as popular as a few years ago, but if your skin is dehydrated you might enjoy it. This shouldn't be done every day or twice a day but 1-2 times per week is the maximum and I prefer to do it when my skin feels pretty bad. You can use toner or essence to do it, the main point of the 7-skin method is to hydrate your skin. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Step 1: </b>Clean your face, but don't use a towel or paper towel to remove water after cleansing from your skin - just gently tap it into your skin. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Step 2: </b>Rub your hands together to warm them up. Add toner to your hand, and gently tap it into your skin. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Step 3: </b>Wait a few minutes until your skin gets a bit dry, and repeat this step. Depending on your skin, you might need between 3 to 7 layers of the toner. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Step 4: </b>Apply serum after toner. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/bPtzeds.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Kaine Kombu Balancing Ampoule Toner" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/bPtzeds.jpg" title="Kaine Kombu Balancing Ampoule Toner" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">

But let's continue the tradition on Kherblog to share with you some promo codes, and recommend some new products and brands which you can't miss! Many of the stores already started Black Friday. In this post, I'll share with you the best deals from websites like YesStyle, Olive Young, StyleKorean, Wishtrend and more. </div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote>This post contains affiliate links.

Some offers are worth it, but before you spend all your money think if you need an item. If you plan to order items from abroad for a gift - think twice, usually, Black Friday packages arrive very late - up to 3 months due to a huge number of purchases - during 11.11 lots of people ordered stuff from Aliexpress and at least my local post always have troubles with time since they can't get through every order to put it in a computer.
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Tip for Black Friday </span></h3><div style="text-align: justify;">
How to save money? Some stores are changing prices before the actual Black Friday for higher to then make them lower so you feel like you pay less even if you pay the actual price. I always make a small shopping list before I buy products during sales. I try to compare shipping prices and prices of items I want to buy to choose the best option available. You can always check if Google has a copy of the page from a couple of days ago - this way you can track the changes in prices.
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Set prices to USD </span></h3><div style="text-align: justify;">
A thing I found last year and wrote about on my Instastory - in stores like Stylevana or YesStyle the difference between USD and EUR or even more local currencies like HUF, PLN, CZK, NOK, UAH, SEK, etc the prices might have even bigger difference so when you shop online - check which currency has the best exchange rate and if it's worth more to pay in USD than your local currency.
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
PROMO CODES </span></h3><div style="text-align: justify;">
To make it easier to find the shop you're interested in try CTRL + F (WINDOWS) or CMD + D (MAC OS).

Purito From Green Avocado Cleansing Balm is a Purito that tries to create a nourishing cleanser that removes sebum, dirt and impurities without destroying the skin barrier. Is Purito From Green Avocado Cleansing Balm the best cleansing balm of 2023? </div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">What's a cleanser? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">According to the <a href="https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/cleanser" target="_blank">Cambridge Dictionary</a> Cleanser is "a substance used for cleaning, especially your face". That's correct. If we want to be more specific we might add that a cleanser is a substance that contains cleansing agents, another name for them is surfactants. Cleanser is a product that removes dirt, sebum and products (makeup, sunscreen). </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/20NM6gs.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Purito From Green Avocado Cleansing Balm" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/20NM6gs.jpg" title="Purito From Green Avocado Cleansing Balm" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Cleansing Oil or Cleansing Balm </span> </h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Oil-based products. These products are the best to remove makeup, sebum or products like sunscreens. Some oils are emulsifying (I believe the majority of Korean and Japanese cleansing oils are emulsifying ones) like Purito From Green Avocado Cleansing Balm or <a href="https://www.kherblog.com/2020/02/klairs-gentle-black-deep-cleansing-oil.html" target="_blank">Klairs Gentle Black Deep Cleansing Oil.</a> Emulsifying ones are easier to remove since you can add water to them and these products change into milk. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">There are also cleansing oils that aren't emulsifying, I see that mostly local (European) brands are creating non-emulsifying cleansing oils since they are created for the <a href="https://www.kherblog.com/2018/03/k-beauty-in-slavic-countries.html" target="_blank">OCM - oil cleansing method</a>. I've tried cleansing oil like that from Resibo (a Polish skincare brand), and I believe the OCM method is not for me. It takes time, and removing non-emulsifying oil can take ages. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Does pH in cleanser matter? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Yes! Back in the day, toners were supposed to balance the pH of the skin after cleansing. Right now, toners have other purposes like nourishing and adding moisture to the skin. If you use a water-based cleanser, you might want to choose products with a pH similar to the skin. A higher pH of the skin is bad for the natural skin barrier, it can disrupt the function of the skin barrier and cause infections or irritation. Higher pH of the skin is also a good environment for acne. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">If you have acne and you tried a series of products but nothing helps with your skin condition, you might want to check your cleansing gel and its pH. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Can I use pure water to clean my skin? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Some people don't like to use cleansers or they think that water is the only good solution to cleanse their skin. I believe that pure water is better than no cleansing at all. If your skin is very dry or your skin barrier needs to rebuild then using pure water instead of any cleansing product might be good. Still, it's not something I would recommend doing every single day. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/Ap4KdaB.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Purito From Green Avocado Cleansing Balm" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/Ap4KdaB.jpg" title="Purito From Green Avocado Cleansing Balm" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
What's double cleansing? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Double cleansing is mostly associated with Asian skincare routines, especially Korean ones. I even found some articles (not research papers) that this method of cleansing comes from the 14th century. Sadly, I couldn't find a source of this information. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Double cleansing is a method of cleansing dry skin with oil-based products like cleansing oil or balm and following it with cleansing foam or cleansing gel. Between these two steps, we use water (not too cold, not too warm) to emulsify the oil. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Using double cleansing is supposed to remove makeup and make sure that none of the impurities are left on the skin. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
What's triple cleansing? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I'm not joking, there's not only double cleansing, there's also triple cleansing. It's about using a makeup remover before double cleansing to remove makeup. I'm not a fan of using makeup wipes, but if you have heavy makeup then using cleansing pads soaked in micellar water and leaving them for a while on the skin before double cleansing can make it easier for makeup to remove. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/zSSmE67.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Purito From Green Avocado Cleansing Balm" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/zSSmE67.jpg" title="Purito From Green Avocado Cleansing Balm" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
About Purito </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Purito is a K-beauty brand focused on the skin and the environment. The brand made a cool video about its history and why it decided to remove mineral oils, PEGs and many other ingredients. The name Purito is a combination of the words Purify and the Chinese character To (土) which stands for soil. The brand name's meaning is to go back to the roots and healthy skin barrier with pure ingredients. The brand is against animal testing, so all their products are Cruelty-Free, they also donate money to Best Friend Animal Society. All the formulas (except snail line) are 100% Vegan- Friendly. They also make paper packaging from recycled paper - that's one of the things you'll notice ASAP. The packaging used by Purito has a different colour and texture. They also donate money to the Korean Federation For Environmental Movement. Purito products are free from Paraben, Ethanol, PEG, Triclosan, Mineral Oil, Silicone, Petrolatum, Sulfate, Phthalate and Oxybenzone. Products are free from synthetic fragrances and colourants. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/BDsthSd.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Purito From Green Avocado Cleansing Balm" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/BDsthSd.jpg" title="Purito From Green Avocado Cleansing Balm" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Purito From Green Avocado Cleansing Balm - Packaging </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Purito From Green Avocado Cleansing Balm comes in a paper box. The packaging was made with processed paper. Purito didn't use elemental chlorine to make packaging white. The brand uses soy-based ink in the paper packaging. Purito From Green Avocado Cleansing Balm is made out of PCR plastic, PCR stands for Post-Consumer Recycled plastic. The cap is made out of 30% PCR, and the tube is made out of 50% PCR. Purito recommends washing the tube before throwing it into a relevant disposal container. One note - Depending on the country, you might be able to recycle this packaging or not. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/fZbB2am.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Purito From Green Avocado Cleansing Balm" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/fZbB2am.jpg" title="Purito From Green Avocado Cleansing Balm" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Purito From Green Avocado Cleansing Balm - Texture & Scent </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">The texture of Purito From Green Avocado Cleansing Balm is white and solid. It melts easily under the natural heat of the skin. The product texture might have a light yellow colour or it can crack. There might be oil droplets on the top of the product. All these things are normal, and you don't have to be scared. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">What I love about Purito From Green Avocado Cleansing Balm is the lack of synthetic scent in the product. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/pELCMV2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Purito From Green Avocado Cleansing Balm" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/pELCMV2.jpg" title="Purito From Green Avocado Cleansing Balm" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Purito From Green Avocado Cleansing Balm - Ingredients </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote>Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Sorbeth-30 Tetraoleate, Synthetic Wax, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil (10,000ppm), Citrullus Lanatus (Watermelon) Seed Oil, Adansonia Digitata Seed Oil, Brassica oleracea Acephala Leaf Extract, Spinacia Oleracea (Spinach) Leaf Extract, Brassica oleracea Italica (Broccoli) Extract, Artemisia Princeps Leaf Extract, Brassica Oleracea Capitata (Cabbage) Leaf Extract, Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil, Caprylyl Glycol, Tocopherol </blockquote></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Ethylhexyl Palmitate</b> is an oily emollient that provides a satin-like film on the skin. It makes brushing your hair easier. <b>Cetyl Ethylhexanoate</b> is an emollient that leaves a velvet layer on the surface of the skin. It appears in cleansing products, and it makes brushing and detangling your hair easier. <b>Sorbeth-30 Tetraoleate </b>is an emulsifier. It's self-emulsifying so it's a good choice for cleansing oils. <b>Synthetic Wax </b>is a synthetic substance that is supposed to work as natural wax. It's an emollient that prevents TEWL (transepidermal water loss). <b>Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride</b> is a combination of coconut oil and glycerin. It's a notable emollient, quite common in skincare. It leaves a protective film on the surface of the epidermis to save your cutis from dehydration. Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride has a significant role in skin care products - it makes the application process effortless. Some people might experience pore-clogging after using Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride but pore-clogging and skin reactions to ingredients are individual. What works for you might not work for someone else. <b>Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil (10,000 ppm)</b> is an oily emollient and source of lecithin, oleic acid and linoleic acid. It can help with skin regeneration. <b>Citrullus Lanatus (Watermelon) Seed Oil</b> is an emollient rich in omega fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. It has antioxidant properties and it has a beneficial effect on the skin barrier. It's a stable oil. <b>Adansonia Digitata Seed Oil</b> is an oily emollient and a source of oleic acid, linoleic acid, vitamins A, E and phytosterols. It creates a protective film on the surface of the skin to prevent TEWL (Transepidermal Water Loss). It's recommended for sensitive and dry skin types. <b>Brassica Oleracea Acephala (Kale) Leaf Extract </b>is a source of beta-carotene and chlorogenic acid. It has positive effects on the skin barrier. <b>Spinacia Oleracea (Spinach) Leaf Extract</b> is rich in antioxidants. It might have some anti-ageing properties.<b> Brassica Oleracea Italica (Broccoli) Extract </b>is an astringent. Broccoli is a source of vitamin C. People believe that this extract can have brightening properties. <b>Artemisia Princeps Leaf Extract </b>is one of the ingredients from the Artemisia family. Artemisia Princeps is also known as Japanese mugwort, first wormwood or Yomogi. Mugwort is still a trendy ingredient in K-beauty. Artemisia Princeps Leaf Extract is an anti-inflammatory ingredient and a source of phellandrenes. <b>Brassica Oleracea Capitata (Cabbage) Leaf Extract</b> has anti-inflammatory properties. It's a source of beta-carotene, oleic acid and quercetin. <b>Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil</b> is an oily emollient. It leaves an occlusive film on the surface of the skin and hair. <b>Caprylyl Glycol </b>is an oily emollient and humectant. It leaves a moisturizing film on the surface of the skin. <b>Tocopherol</b> is an antioxidant known as Vitamin E. It's an oil-soluble vitamin that fights free radicals and makes UVB protection and natural lipid barrier stronger. It's good to mix it with vitamin C for better effects. Oily skin might react with pore-clogging to vitamin E. It is not true that vitamin E works as a preservative or helps with scars. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/lCNZNrF.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Purito From Green Avocado Cleansing Balm" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="294" src="https://i.imgur.com/lCNZNrF.jpg" title="Purito From Green Avocado Cleansing Balm" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
How does Purito From Green Avocado Cleansing Balm work? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I'm aware that Purito products get lots of hype the minute they are announced by the brand, and it's not a surprise. Purito has affordable products, and the brand has a strategy to go greener. The formula is vegan-friendly and even the packaging colour looks exciting. So should you get Purito From Green Avocado Cleansing Balm? </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Yes! I've tried Purito From Green Cleansing Oil before and Purito From Green Avocado Cleansing Balm is way better. If you enjoyed the cleansing oil (which is not my favourite cleansing oil) then Purito From Green Avocado Cleansing Balm is going to blow your mind. It's a cleansing product based on ingredients that have nourishing properties for the skin. The things that are important for me are very easy - I need a cleanser that melts easily, is easy to remove with cleansing foam, is an emulsifying cleanser and doesn't leave a fog in my eyes. Purito From Green Avocado Cleansing Balm checks all these points. I love how smooth it is to apply on the skin, and how well it removes even the worst mascaras in my collection (I even made a reel with this cleanser removing my Halloween makeup). It's a product I wish I had when I was using Missha's waterproof mascara. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">There's nothing bad I can say about this product, even if I love to be a bit "picky" if it comes to skincare products, I see myself repurchasing Purito From Green Avocado Cleansing Balm. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/LFsTiwg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Purito From Green Avocado Cleansing Balm" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/LFsTiwg.jpg" title="Purito From Green Avocado Cleansing Balm" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">

Every year I'm trying to test new sunscreens to find a product that fits my skin the best. When I saw Kaine, I knew I had to test this brand one day. Somehow, I ended up testing Kaine Green Fit Pro Sun SPF 50+ Sunscreen as my first product from this brand. Is this sunscreen worth a try? </div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">About the brand </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Kaine is a Korean skincare brand. The name Kaine comes from a Greek word that translates to "new". Kaine is a vegan brand and the main focus is to promote a conscious and harmonious way of living and include them in skincare products. Kaine is not only a cruelty-free and vegan brand. This company donates a portion of its profits to animal rights organizations. Kaine takes care of the environment as well. The packaging is based on PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled) materials like plastics and glass. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I'm not a fan of EWG, but Korean brands including Kaine are still using EWG as a way to show people that the brand is using clean ingredients. Remember that even water is a chemical and you shouldn't be scared of ingredients, instead resource of a product is more important. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
What's UV? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">UV stands for Ultraviolet, it's nothing else than the selected range of frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum. UV rays are not visible to humans but that doesn't mean that they don't exist. Each type of UV - UVA, UVB and UVC has different wavelengths and different properties. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
UVA, UVB and UVC - what does each of them do and where you can meet them? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I'm sure you know about UVA and UVB but UVC or the difference between UVA2 and UVA1? Let's start from the shortest wavelengths - UVC (100nm - 280nm) exist in space and it's absorbed by the ozone layer, it can kill bacteria that's why on Earth you can find it in germicidal lamps - you might ask me, but these lamps are usually visible to a human - it's because they are made in a way that makes them safe for you and other people - you shouldn't enter the room when the UV lamp is on and make people aware that the lamp is on we add other substances so the lamp has a blue/purple colour when it's on. This technology is used for example at labs and hospitals. We all remember UVB (280nm –315nm) because it is said that B in UVB stands for BURN. Indeed, this UV length is responsible for sunburns, but it also helps with the synthesis of Vitamin D - a vitamin which we all need because lack of it can lead to osteoporosis. UVB is focused on the epidermis aka the outer layer of the skin while UVA (315nm –400nm) can penetrate through the epidermis and dermis so it penetrates your skin deeper. A in its name stands for Aging. The bad news is that UVA can penetrate glass, and both UVA and UVB cause lots of damage including skin cancer and oxidative stress. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Should I wear sunscreen at home? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">We already know that UVA penetrates through the glass so do we need to use sunscreen at home? Yes, especially if you spend lots of time working near the window then it's better to put on a layer of sunscreen in the morning and have any type of protection at home as well. But you can also use window films to reduce the risk. The choice is left to you, what I do is keep my blinds on the window during the entire morning and when the sun is not that intense because my windows are situated on the Eastern side the light usually starts to fade afternoon - usually by afternoon I already have sunscreen on, few times reapplied. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
What's the difference between mineral and chemical sunscreen? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">It depends on which side we look at this topic. Mineral sunscreens are sunscreens that don't contain any carbon atoms - this automatically makes them inorganic sunscreens. Chemical sunscreens contain carbon atoms, which makes them organic substances. The main difference is that mineral sunscreen usually leaves a white cast, and it's better if we use both Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide for a broad spectrum of UV protection. Chemical sunscreens don't leave a white cast, and they have more sophisticated formulas. Both are amazing, in some cases, PIH (hyperpigmentation), mineral sunscreens, and natural pigments can make a good layer of protection from UV rays. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/cPGxf7j.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Kaine Green Fit Pro Sun SPF 50+ Sunscreen" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/cPGxf7j.jpg" title="Kaine Green Fit Pro Sun SPF 50+ Sunscreen" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
What's the SPF and PA of Kaine Green Fit Pro Sun SPF 50+ </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">According to the brand, this cream has SPF 51.6 and PA 16.6. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;">
Kaine Green Fit Pro Sun SPF 50+ Sunscreen - Packaging </h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">The plastic bottle comes in a paper box. The tube is something different to what I'm used to, it's not the same very soft plastic tube, it's more solid. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Kaine Green Fit Pro Sun SPF 50+ Sunscreen - Texture & Scent </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">The texture looks like something between gel and milk. It has a white colour but it doesn't leave a white cast on my skin. I'm not sure about darker skin tones since Tinosorb S might leave a delicate tint on darker skin. I didn't smell this sunscreen, I believe it has a neutral scent. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">It might sting your eyes a bit, I had this issue, but it's not as bad as I had with LRP </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Does Kaine Green Fit Pro Sun SPF 50+ Sunscreen leave a white cast? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">It doesn't leave a white cast, but it needs a while to apply and blend well if your skin is darker then there might be some white tint left since it contains Tinosorb S. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/n2qOyiU.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Kaine Green Fit Pro Sun SPF 50+ Sunscreen" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/n2qOyiU.jpg" title="Kaine Green Fit Pro Sun SPF 50+ Sunscreen" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Kaine Green Fit Pro Sun SPF 50+ Sunscreen - Ingredients </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote>Water, Dibutyl Adipate, Dipropylene Glycol, Propanediol, Titanium Dioxide, Isononyl Isononanoate, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Panthenol, Phenethyl Benzoate, 1,2-Hexanediol, Polymethylsilsesquioxane, Pentylene Glycol, Bambusa Vulgaris Water, Chlorella Vulgaris Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Mentha Suaveolens Leaf Extract, Thymus Vulgaris (Thyme) Leaf Extract, Hyaluronic Acid, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, Coco-Caprylate/Caprate, Ethylhexyl Triazone, Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer, Polysilicone-15, Terephthalylidene Dicamphor Sulfonic Acid, Sodium Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate, Polyhydroxystearic Acid, Potassium Cetyl Phosphate, Sodium Acrylates Crosspolymer-2, Tromethamine, Aluminum Hydroxide, Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6, Stearic Acid, Glucose, Butylene Glycol, Fructooligosaccharides, Fructose, Polyglyceryl-2 Dipolyhydroxystearate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose Stearoxy Ether, Sodium Polyacrylate, Tocopherol, Allantoin, Ectoin, Behenyl Alcohol, Disodium EDTA </blockquote></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Water</b> hides in cosmetic products under names such as Aqua or Eau. It's a solvent, but it's not your regular drinking water. Water in skin care needs to fit some standards. It should be clean and free from minerals, microorganisms or other substances. Usually, water makes up the majority of the content of the product. <b>Dibutyl Adipate</b> is an oily emollient. This oil-soluble ingredient dissolves in oils. It creates a hydrating film on the surface of the skin to prevent the skin from dehydration. You can see it in sunscreens as a solvent. <b>Dipropylene Glycol</b> is a solvent with moisturizing properties. <b>Propanediol</b> is also known as natural glycol - an alternative to propylene glycol. Propanediol is a solvent with additional moisturizing properties. It makes the product smooth to the touch. It can even improve the effectiveness of active ingredients. <b>Titanium Dioxide (Ci 77891)</b> is a mineral (or physical) sunscreen agent. It protects your skin from UVB and UVA II radiation and might cover some lower waves in the UVA I spectrum. It has a typical white colour visible on the skin, unless it's a nano version then this white tint might not be visible at all. This ingredient has a second task - it works as a pigment. Titanium Dioxide works perfectly for skin that needs visible protection like skin with melasma, nice that white pigment works as a barrier or protective film on the skin. It has one additional task, it makes products stay fresh a bit longer. Isononyl Isononanoate is a dry emollient. It prevents skin from dehydration. It has wide use in the beauty industry since it makes product application easier. It helps brush the hair and has anti-static properties. It makes pigments more intensive. It leaves a delicate film on the skin and hair. <b>Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate</b> or Uvinul A Plus is a sun-protecting agent. It covers the UVA range (320-400 nm), and its peak of protection is 354 nm. <b>Panthenol</b> is a humectant. It prevents skin from TEWL (Transepidermal Water Loss). Panthenol is also known as vitamin B5, and it helps with inflammation. Panthenol can soothe the skin irritated by preservatives, scent ingredients, and chemical sunscreens - it might have a meaning for lipids in our skin and skin barrier. It speeds up the healing process. It's good to use it after sunbathing. In hair care, Panthenol has moisturizing properties. If you have problems detangling your hair or hair growth go for Panthenol. It is good to mix it with niacinamide and zinc oxide. You can see it in products for atopic dermatitis or psoriasis. <b>Phenethyl Benzoate</b> is a synthetic emollient. It also adds a scent to the product. <b>1,2-Hexanediol</b> is a synthetic solvent and preservative - it protects products from microorganisms by boosting other preservatives. At the same time, it can moisturize the skin, and it has no unpleasant effects on your epidermis. <b>Polymethylsilsesquioxane</b> is a silicone that protects your skin from dehydration by creating a film on the surface of the skin. Silicones have a positive meaning to your skin - they make products easier to spread, make the formula more elegant and even protect skin and hair. <b>Pentylene Glycol </b>is mostly a solvent and stabilizer, but it has great moisturizing properties. <b>Bambusa Vulgaris Water</b> is a humectant. <b>Chlorella Vulgaris Extract</b> is an extract obtained from algae. It's a source of vitamin E, biotin, niacin, vitamin C, zinc, vitamin A and other carotenoids. This antioxidant has strong moisturizing properties. It helps with cellulite and wrinkles. It's suitable for sensitive skin. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract</b> is an antioxidant - it fights free radicals and fixes the damage. Green tea is a source of many positive-to-the-skin substances such as catechins (EGCG, EGC, EC, CG), flavonoids, amino acids, vitamin C, and minerals. It works for all skin types. Since it has antibacterial properties, many products for young, acne-prone skin contain this ingredient. It has soothing properties, and it's good to use it along with sunscreen to boost the protection of your skin. Mentha Suaveolens (Apple Mint) Leaf Extract is an astringent. <b>Thymus Vulgaris (Thyme) Leaf Extract</b> has antibacterial and antiseptic properties. <b>Hyaluronic Acid </b>is an ingredient loved by everyone! Hyaluronic acid naturally occurs in the skin. It's a glycosaminoglycan or GAG. What does that mean? It's a long polysaccharide - nothing else than sugar, and we all know what sugars do in the skin. It's not different from Hyaluronic Acid - it acts like a humectant. One HA molecule is supposed to hold up to 1000x heavier molecules than this one single HA molecule. Hyaluronic acid can have different molecular weights - smaller molecules are usually more hydrating than bigger ones. <b>Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid </b>is a low-weight humectant. We have to remember that not every molecule can get through the skin surface and lower molecule HA can penetrate the skin deeper and bring moisture inside the skin. It's a natural polymer that binds water in the skin to prevent TEWL (transepidermal water loss). <b>Sodium Hyaluronate</b> or sodium salt of hyaluronic acid. It's a form of hyaluronic acid and naturally occurs in the skin. Sodium Hyaluronate has strong water-binding properties. Sodium hyaluronate combined with elastin and collagen is like a scaffolding for the skin. It has hydrating properties and leaves a hydrating film on the skin, but sodium hyaluronate prevents skincare products from drying. <b>Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine</b> is quite a hard name to remember, that's why you can find people talking about this ingredient by calling it Tinosorb S. It's one of the newer types of sunscreen agents and one of the strongest ones. It's a chemical sunscreen that protects skin from UVA (315-400 nm) & UVB (280-315 nm), and its peak is high. It's a stable sunscreen that works with other sun-protecting substances to protect their early photodegradation. <b>Coco-Caprylate/Caprate</b> is an oily emollient derived from coconut. Some people call this amazing emollient, a "natural silicone". It leaves a silky, moisturizing film on the surface of the skin.<b> Ethylhexyl Triazone</b> or Uvinul T 150 is a sun-protecting agent. It covers the UVB range (280-320nm). Its peak is at 314 nm. <b>Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer</b> is a synthetic polymer. It absorbs sebum, creates a film on the surface of the skin and makes the texture more elegant. It reflects light and makes wrinkles less visible. <b>Polysilicone-15</b> might sound like a normal ingredient, but the other name of this ingredient is Parsol SLX. You're right! It's a sun-protecting ingredient. It protects your skin from UVB radiation (290-320 nm) and its peak is around 310 nm. It makes a great pair with Avobenzone. It's quite common in hair care products. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Terephthalylidene Dicamphor Sulfonic Acid </b>is a long name, that's why you probably know this ingredient as Mexoryl SX or ecamsule. Mexoryl SX was patented in 1982 by L'oreal so when we talk about other brands we stick to the name Ecamsule. This sunscreen protects your skin from UVA radiation (315–400 nm) and it has its peak at 345nm. It's a chemical sunscreen with high stability. <b>Sodium Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate </b>is a polymer and emulsifier. <b>Polyhydroxystearic Acid</b> is a dispersing agent for mineral sunscreens and pigments. It makes the white cast less visible. It can work as a thickener. <b>Potassium Cetyl Phosphate </b>is a surfactant and emulsifier for oil-in-water formulas. Potassium Cetyl Phosphate is quite common in SPF formulas since it makes sunscreen more water-resistant. <b>Sodium Acrylates Crosspolymer-2</b> is absorbent. It makes the skin look soft and adds a "blur" effect to it. <b>Tromethamine</b> is a synthetic pH adjuster. <b>Aluminum Hydroxide</b> or CI 77002 is a white pigment and emollient. It's used in antiperspirants since it absorbs sweat and sebum. It's also a coating ingredient for UV-protecting ingredients. <b>Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6</b> is a thickener, it helps create elegant, non-sticky formulas. <b>Stearic Acid</b> is a fatty acid that works as an emollient and emulsifier. <b>Glucose</b> is a monosaccharide - a simple sugar, and we all know that sugars in skincare are nothing else than humectants. <b>Butylene Glycol</b> is a common ingredient in products. It's not only a solvent. We use butylene glycol because it helps with the penetration of active ingredients, protects products from drying and moisturizes skin and hair. This ingredient can prevent hair loss and make your hair stronger. <b>Fructooligosaccharides</b> are prebiotics. They nourish the skin and help the microbiome. <b>Fructose</b> is a sugar obtained from fruits, and as we already know sugar always has moisturizing properties. <b>Polyglyceryl-2 Dipolyhydroxystearate</b> is a water-in-oil emulsifier. <b>Ethylhexylglycerin</b> is a preservative with subtle moisturizing and antimicrobial properties. <b>Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose Stearoxy Ethe</b>r is a thickener. b is a thickener with a strong ability to absorb water. It helps with texture and it can create a film on the skin to prevent TEWL (transepidermal water loss). <b>Tocopherol</b> is an antioxidant known as Vitamin E. It's an oil-soluble vitamin that fights free radicals and makes UVB protection and natural lipid barrier stronger. It's good to mix it with vitamin C for better effects. Oily skin might react with pore-clogging to vitamin E. It is not true that vitamin E works as a preservative or helps with scars. <b>Allantoin</b> is an ingredient that naturally occurs in our bodies, but brands usually go for the synthetic form of this substance. It comes from comfrey or soybean roots. It's a humectant with soothing and wound-healing properties. <b>Ectoin</b> is a product of the fermentation process - it comes from microorganisms, and it's an amino acid with antioxidant properties. Ectoin prevents your skin from oxidative stress created by UV radiation or blue light. It has moisturizing properties. <b>Behenyl Alcohol</b> might sound scary, but it's a fatty alcohol. This type of alcohol is positive for the skin since it works as an emollient. It helps with the texture of the product. <b>Disodium EDTA</b> neutralizes metal ions in the formula to keep products fresh. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/VEShfx1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Kaine Green Fit Pro Sun SPF 50+ Sunscreen" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/VEShfx1.jpg" title="Kaine Green Fit Pro Sun SPF 50+ Sunscreen" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
How does Kaine Green Fit Pro Sun SPF 50+ Sunscreen work? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">My experience with Kaine Green Fit Pro Sun SPF 50+ Sunscreen was a pure rollercoaster. I made a review of this sunscreen a few months ago on Instagram, but I thought that I should post more here because I tested this sunscreen thanks to YesStyle. I had Kaine on my wishlist for a long time, but I wasn't sure about sunscreen since this type of product can be tricky. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I have to admit, at first, I loved this sunscreen. You can even read my review on Instagram, I literally said things like "It doesn't leave a white cast, but it needs a while to apply and blend" and "It's so smooth, it works well with oily skin, it works with my Clio cushion, it doesn't pill under the makeup". My opinion on this sunscreen changed about 2 weeks after posting a review on Instagram, and I'll tell you why I don't like it when I have limited time to test a product. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I've been waiting for my order from YesStyle for so long because shipping took a while that I literally got spammed daily with messages reminding me to publish the review. And it's okay because some people forget about reviews or some stuff happens just like my lack of luck lately, I was for quite a long time without phone which was a big disadvantage. I posted the review after about 2 weeks of using the product thinking okay everything is fine and then... after another 2 weeks, my skin started to get annoyed. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I still think that Kaine Green Fit Pro Sun SPF 50+ Sunscreen stings my eyes, but not as bad as <a href="https://www.kherblog.com/2023/04/la-roche-posay-anthelios-uvmune-400-oil-control-fluid-2023.html" target="_blank">La Roche Posay</a>, but it started to make my makeup cake right after application, my skin didn't look good with this sunscreen on and in general, I'm super disappointed with this sunscreen since at first it seemed like it's going to be a good product and then something didn't work. It can happen, that's why I believe it's good to take at least 28 days (cell-turnover time) to test a product. I've tested this product on oily skin, but maybe for dry skin, it's going to be better. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/mMQ9qsK.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Kaine Green Fit Pro Sun SPF 50+ Sunscreen" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/mMQ9qsK.jpg" title="Kaine Green Fit Pro Sun SPF 50+ Sunscreen" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">

Then eyestyling is for you! I've tried Olens two different lens series: Olens Ocean Velvet and Olens Scandi Gray to show you how more delicate lenses look on light eyes. </div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Can coloured lenses be corrective? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I feel like many people think that contact lenses are not for eyes with no vision problems and that coloured lenses shouldn't be used by people with vision issues. That's not true! The main reason for wearing lenses for many people is aesthetic issues or comfort issues - I started to wear lenses because I find glasses more problematic, and they usually don't fit me well. Lenses don't make me tired and I feel like thanks to contact lenses my sight is doing better than it would do with glasses. Coloured lenses are sometimes called "cosmetic lenses" since they change the visual colour of your iris, and that's something some people don't know - when you buy coloured lenses from Olens you can fit them to your needs, if you need corrective aspect of lenses, you can choose the shade of the lens and power. All the lenses I tested in this post are -3.00 power. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;">
About Olens </h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Olens is the no. 1 premium colour contact lens brand from South Korea. This brand makes regular lenses as well as coloured lenses. It's a pioneer in Beauty&Healthy eyestyling, and it's a brand that is recognised all over the world. Olens products were used in many Kdramas and photoshoots. The brand was in the spotlight of many beauty programs in Korea. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
How to choose lenses for my eyes and skin? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">If you want to try Olens so badly, but don't know what colour fits your skin - Olens has the <a href="https://olensglobal.com/gallery/regram.php" target="_blank">#FindMyOlens</a> option which helps you choose a lens shade that fits your skin tone. You can also choose graphic size and colour. There are even styling videos that can help you choose a makeup style to fit your eyes with Olens lenses on. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/B8tQPZo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Olens Ocean Velvet and Olens Scandi Gray" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/B8tQPZo.jpg" title="Olens Ocean Velvet and Olens Scandi Gray" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Olens Ocean Velvet </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Olens Ocean Velvet is a collection which I already tried in April. I was worried back then that the Ocean Velvet line might not fit me, but I like these lenses, the key is the right makeup! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">The main motto of Ocean Velvet line is "A new way to wear the colour of sassiness". This collection has three different shades: Green, Hazel and Gray. I've tried the Green version. The strongest point of Ocean Velvet lenses is a natural pattern with high pigmented colour gradation and a 13.0mm graphic diameter. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/2V6MX4t.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Olens Ocean Velvet and Olens Scandi Gray" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="600" src="https://i.imgur.com/2V6MX4t.jpg" title="Olens Ocean Velvet and Olens Scandi Gray" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Olens Ocean Velvet Green </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote>DIA (diameter) 14,2 mm | G.DIA (graphic diameter) 13,0 mm | Base curve 8.7mm | Water content: 43% | Material: HEMA </blockquote></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Ocean Velvet Green is the first Green lens I had on myself. Since I had blue-green eyes, I wasn't sure what to expect. Usually, Olens shares photos of how the lenses look on models with darker eyes - brown or even black. I honestly love how well these lenses look on girls with medium skin tones and darker features - it's just something about these lenses that makes them look more mysterious. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">With time I started to enjoy these lenses more, especially for autumn time when I wear dark clothes and darker makeup. Eye + makeup contrast is amazing. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/7bj0PfH.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Olens Ocean Velvet and Olens Scandi Gray" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="600" src="https://i.imgur.com/7bj0PfH.jpg" title="Olens Ocean Velvet and Olens Scandi Gray" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">When you see how it looks on a photo with huge zoom then you might see the details of the print, but normally these lenses look super natural to the eye, and people can't notice. They are super comfortable to wear during the day, and I started to love 1-day lenses thanks to Olens since I can bring a pair or more with me when I travel and just change them. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/9kiFLjA.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Olens Ocean Velvet and Olens Scandi Gray" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="600" src="https://i.imgur.com/9kiFLjA.jpg" title="Olens Ocean Velvet and Olens Scandi Gray" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Olens Scandi Gray </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote>DIA (diameter) 14,2 mm | G.DIA (graphic diameter) 11,9mm | Base curve 8.6mm | Water content: 40% | Material: HEMA (Hydroxyethyl methacrylate) </blockquote></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I've tried Olens Scandi line but I've never had the Gray version on my eyes, and guess what? I love it! Some people don't like changing eye colour and they just want a subtle colour hint. If that's something you want then Olens Scandi line is for you. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Olens Scandi Gray is supposed to fit your natural iris and make it more visible. Scandi Gray is a mix of warm and cold tones. It looks super natural, and it's even visible in my eyes. I had huge problems with other versions to get used to the Scandi line but somehow Gray version is better than Aqua for me. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/IASyXfO.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Olens Ocean Velvet and Olens Scandi Gray" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="600" src="https://i.imgur.com/IASyXfO.jpg" title="Olens Ocean Velvet and Olens Scandi Gray" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Olens Scandi Gray has an 11,9mm graphic diameter (G.DIA) which makes them super unique. This size is specific for Olens and none of the other brands is doing coloured lenses in such G.DIA size. They won't make your eyes look bigger, but they will make your iris stand out. These lenses are available in 0.00 to -8.00 power. Besides Gray shade, Olens Scandi is available in other shades like Scandi Hazel, Scandi Aqua, Scandi Light Gray and Scandi Olive. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
I am from the US, can I still order lenses from Olens? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Yes. Contact lenses in the US are not sold as easily as in Europe. In comparison, in Europe, I can ask my optometrist or eye doctor to order lenses for me or I can order them on my own. Some brands are available in stores so even if you're out of lenses you can buy them. I had a situation when I got my first lenses and I didn't know that 1-day lenses are not as easy to put as 1-month lenses I needed to grab a new pair in a random drugstore in Paris. The US situation looks different because of the US FCLCA (The Fairness to Contact Lens Consumers Act) so Olens can be ordered if you're living in the US but your lenses will go through a prescription verification system. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/dQfU3vL.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Olens Ocean Velvet and Olens Scandi Gray" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="640" src="https://i.imgur.com/dQfU3vL.jpg" title="Olens Ocean Velvet and Olens Scandi Gray" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">

There's nothing wrong with that - both can be amazing, but some ingredients surprise me a lot. Licorice used in I'm From Licorice Calming Cream isn't something extraordinary in skincare products. I might not be a fan of liquorice as a food, but I can't say anything bad if it comes to the cosmetical use of this ingredient. It's a brilliant ingredient to fight acne and... pigmentation. </div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I'm From Licorice Calming Cream is not the newest product on the market, let's say I'm a bit late with posting. I'm not surprised that I'm From sticks to natural ingredients, especially from Korea. This time the brand focused on Iksan Licorice. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/b8dIcYf.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="I'm From Licorice Calming Cream" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/b8dIcYf.jpg" title="I'm From Licorice Calming Cream" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">About I'm From </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I'm From is a K-beauty brand that you probably know from Wishtrend. This brand became huge lately thanks to the Mugwort series. It's a cruelty-free brand (some of the products are vegan-friendly!). I'm from is inspired by local nature, the brand wants to create honest and trustworthy products with high-quality materials. According to the Facebook pages of I'm From (English and Korean), the brand started to exist around 2014. This year I'm From released a few interesting products like the I'm From Licorice series. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Is I'm From Licorice Calming Cream cruelty-free? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I'm From is a cruelty-free brand. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/9ajkCeu.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="I'm From Licorice Calming Cream" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/9ajkCeu.jpg" title="I'm From Licorice Calming Cream" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
I'm From Licorice Calming Cream - Packaging </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I'm a big fan of I'm From design. It might not be as packed with details as I'm From Fig Scrub Mask, but I still appreciate sticking to one concept. Inside the packaging, you can find a teal tube. I usually think about black colour when I think about licorice, not teal. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/cpGWv12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="I'm From Licorice Calming Cream" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/cpGWv12.jpg" title="I'm From Licorice Calming Cream" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
I'm From Licorice Calming Cream - Texture & Scent </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I'm From Licorice Calming Cream has a gel-like texture. It's a rich but gel-like formula. Easy to apply, and during the summer it's ideal to lower the temperature of the skin. It feels so calming. If you expect that I'm From Licorice Calming Cream is going to smell like licorice then you might get disappointed since I'm From Licorice Calming Cream doesn't have any scent. The brand didn't add any artificial scent ingredient to the product. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/yNeiO8l.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="I'm From Licorice Calming Cream" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/yNeiO8l.jpg" title="I'm From Licorice Calming Cream" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
I'm From Licorice Calming Cream - Ingredients </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote>Glycyrrhiza Uralensis (Licorice) Root Extract, Water (58%), Propanediol, Glycerin, Phenyl Trimethicone, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, 1,2-Hexanediol, Chlorella Vulgaris Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract(0.05%), Cynanchum Atratum Extract, Althaea Rosea Flower Extract, Pentylene Glycol, Panthenol, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Vinyl Dimethicone, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Glucose, Tromethamine, Butylene Glycol, Dimethiconol, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate(1,000ppm), Fructooligosaccharides, Fructose, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Ethylhexylglycerin, Glyceryl Acrylate/Acrylic Acid Copolymer, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Sorbitan Isostearate, Sodium Phytate, Cellulose Gum, Silica, Cetearyl Olivate, Ceramide NP, Sorbitan Olivate, Tocopherol, Kanzou Furabonoido(JPN)(1ppb), Xanthan Gum </blockquote></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Glycyrrhiza Uralensis (Licorice) Root Extract</b> has a soothing effect. It's known as Chinese Licorice, and this plant is commonly used in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It's a source of glycyrrhizin - a powerful saponin. It has a brightening and anti-inflammatory effect. Licorice is recommended for acne-prone skin. <b>Water</b> (58%) hides in cosmetic products under names such as Aqua or Eau. It's a solvent, but it's not your regular drinking water. Water in skin care needs to fit some standards. It should be clean and free from minerals, microorganisms or other substances. Usually, water makes up the majority of the content of the product. <b>Propanediol</b> is also known as natural glycol - an alternative to propylene glycol. Propanediol is a solvent with additional moisturizing properties. It makes the product smooth to the touch. It can even improve the effectiveness of active ingredients. <b>Glycerin</b> or Glycerol is a humectant. Its origin can be natural or synthetic - depending on the product. It protects TEWL (transepidermal water loss) and naturally occurs in the skin. It's one of the NMFs - natural moisturizing factors. It's practical in hair care. Glycerin won't clog your skin or irritate it just the opposite - it protects your skin from irritation. <b>Phenyl Trimethicone</b> is silicone and an emollient. It improves the texture of the product and makes it easier to spread on the skin. Phenyl Trimethicone leaves a delicate film on the skin to prevent your skin from TEWL. It's easy to remove it with cleansing products. This ingredient is useful in haircare products since it makes it easier to maintain your hair. In sunscreen, it makes products more resistant to water (it makes sunscreen more waterproof). <b>Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride</b> is a combination of coconut oil and glycerin. It's a notable emollient, quite common in skincare. It leaves a protective film on the surface of the epidermis to save your cutis from dehydration. Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride has a significant role in skin care products - it makes the application process effortless. Some people might experience pore-clogging after using Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride but pore-clogging and skin reactions to ingredients are individual. What works for you might not work for someone else.<b> 1,2-Hexanediol</b> is a synthetic solvent and preservative - it protects products from microorganisms by boosting other preservatives. At the same time, it can moisturize the skin, and it has no unpleasant effects on your epidermis. <b>Chlorella Vulgaris Extract</b> is an extract obtained from algae. It's a source of vitamin E, biotin, niacin, vitamin C, zinc, vitamin A and other carotenoids. This antioxidant has strong moisturizing properties. It helps with cellulite and wrinkles. It's suitable for sensitive skin. <b>Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract</b> (0.05%) is an ingredient which I prefer to see in skincare than liquorice as food. It's an amazing antioxidant with anti-inflammatory properties. It can help with acne and visible red veins and it brightens the skin. Or I should say it works on pigmentation. What's better than an anti-inflammatory ingredient with brightening properties? Liquorice is not new, since it's a popular ingredient in traditional herbal medicine. It's a source of glycyrrhizinic acid and glabridin. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Cynanchum Atratum Extract</b> is an anti-inflammatory ingredient. It has a soothing effect and it might have some anti-aging properties. Cynanchum Atratum originates from Traditional Chinese Medicine (it's called Bai Wei). <b>Althaea Rosea Flower Extract</b> or Common Hollyhock Flower Extract is supposed to moisturize and soothe the skin. In herbal medicine, this plant is considered to be an emollient with soothing properties. <b>Pentylene</b> <b>Glycol</b> is mostly a solvent and stabilizer, but it has great moisturizing properties. Panthenol is a humectant. It prevents skin from TEWL (Transepidermal Water Loss). <b>Panthenol</b> is also known as vitamin B5, and it helps with inflammation. Panthenol can soothe the skin irritated by preservatives, scent ingredients, and chemical sunscreens - it might have a meaning for lipids in our skin and skin barrier. It speeds up the healing process. It's good to use it after sunbathing. In hair care, Panthenol has moisturizing properties. If you have problems detangling your hair or hair growth go for Panthenol. It is good to mix it with niacinamide and zinc oxide. You can see it in products for atopic dermatitis or psoriasis. <b>Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer </b>is a polymer with thickening properties. <b>Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer</b> is a polymer that works as an emulsifier and thickener. <b>Vinyl Dimethicone</b> is a thickener. <b>Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer </b>is a synthetic powder that absorbs sebum. You can usually find it in makeup for its flawless finishing. Not every oily skin will enjoy it. <b>Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer</b> is a synthetic polymer and quite a large molecule. It works as a thickener and emulsion stabiliser. <b>Glucose</b> is a monosaccharide - a simple sugar, and we all know that sugars in skincare are nothing else than humectants. <b>Tromethamine</b> is a synthetic pH adjuster. <b>Butylene Glycol </b>is a common ingredient in products. It's not only a solvent. We use butylene glycol because it helps with the penetration of active ingredients, protects products from drying and moisturizes skin and hair. This ingredient can prevent hair loss and make your hair stronger. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Dimethiconol</b> is a silicone polymer. It works as an emollient and moisturizer. Dimethiconol leaves a film on the skin, it makes your skin soft. In hair care, this ingredient is amazing for damaged hair since it makes them more smooth. <b>Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate </b>(1,000ppm) is a soothing and antibacterial ingredient. For many people, it's the only acceptable form of Licorice. This ingredient has many positive meanings for the skin - it has moisturizing properties, and it can even lighten the dark spot. Even sensitive skin should enjoy it. <b>Fructooligosaccharides</b> are prebiotics. They nourish the skin and help the microbiome. <b>Fructose</b> is a sugar obtained from fruits, and as we already know sugar always has moisturizing properties. <b>Microcrystalline Cellulose</b> is an absorbent and stabilizer. <b>Ethylhexylglycerin</b> is a preservative with subtle moisturizing and antimicrobial properties. <b>Glyceryl Acrylate/Acrylic Acid Copolymer </b>is a humectant. Hydrogenated Lecithin is a version of lecithin. It works as an emollient in the formulas. <b>Sorbitan Isostearate</b> is an emulsifier. <b>Sodium Phytate</b> is a chelating agent derived from corn. It neutralizes the ions in the products to make sure your product stays fresh a bit longer. <b>Cellulose Gum </b>is a natural polymer. It works as a thickener. Silica is a mineral-natural ingredient. It's popular in makeup and skincare. It can absorb sebum or thicken the texture. Olivem 1000 is a combination of <b>Cetearyl Olivate </b>and <b>Sorbitan Olivate</b>. It's a natural emulsifier, and beauty companies use it to create an oil-in-water emulsion. Worth mentioning it's a biodegradable formula. Ceramides naturally occur in the skin - it's like cement in the skin. <b>Ceramide NP </b>strengthens the skin barrier to prevent dehydration. Tocopherol is an antioxidant known as Vitamin E. It's an oil-soluble vitamin that fights free radicals and makes UVB protection and natural lipid barrier stronger. It's good to mix it with vitamin C for better effects. Oily skin might react with pore-clogging to vitamin E. It is not true that vitamin E works as a preservative or helps with scars. <b>Kanzou Furabonoido (JPN)</b>(1ppb) or Licorice Flavonoids. This ingredient is obtained from rhizome and roots of Licorice. It's a source of Licochalcone A and Liquiritin. It has a positive meaning for acne-prone skin. <b>Xanthan Gum</b> is a polysaccharide that works as a thickener. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/FnszSFB.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="I'm From Licorice Calming Cream" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/FnszSFB.jpg" title="I'm From Licorice Calming Cream" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
How do I'm From Licorice Calming Cream work? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I expected a lot from I'm From Licorice Calming Cream. If you ever check beauty products for acne-prone skin, you might not always see Licorice Extract, but I'm sure you might find Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate instead. Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is derived from Licorice, and it's one of the great ingredients to fight acne and PIE. I think it's a good thing that I'm From decided to focus on it. I don't see lots of people talking about this ingredient. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">The main motto of I'm From Licorice Calming Cream is 'Completely hiding the breakout scars'. Is this motto true? According to the brand you can use Licorice Calming Cream to calm sensitive skin, reduce blemish scars, and minimise redness and dryness of the skin. It's all thanks to licorice's active ingredients glycyrrhizin and galabridin. The brand put 58% of liquorice exosomes into the formula. It's easy to make a mistake, exosomes and liposomes are not the same thing. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I didn't try the entire series (Licorice Clear Pad and Licorice Soothing Ampoule), but if it comes to I'm From Licorice Calming Cream - I love it! I used this cream during warmer months and my skin during summer is not a fan of rich textures. I always have problems with finding ideal cream during summer but I'm From Licorice Calming Cream matches my skin so well. It's not making my skin oily, but my skin stays well-moisturized. The acne got minimalized. My skin is not going through the best periods since my stress level is high and it's visible on my skin. I'm From Licorice Calming Cream visibly boosted my recovery process - acne and post-acne marks got removed quicker than if I hadn't any product related to removing blemishes and scars. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Pigmentation and scars need time and it's a personal thing how much time your skin needs to heal. Different scars and dark spots might need different amounts of time depending on skin colour, condition and how the scar or dark spot looks like. I wouldn't expect miracles from this cream, but if you need good moisture and bonus anti-inflammatory properties then go for it. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/ECT7g8Y.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="I'm From Licorice Calming Cream" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/ECT7g8Y.jpg" title="I'm From Licorice Calming Cream" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Where to find I'm From Licorice Calming Cream and how much does it cost? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I got this product from Wishtrend. <a href="https://wishtrend.com/products/licorice-calming-cream" target="_blank">I'm From Licorice Calming Cream</a> costs $28 for 100ml, but sometimes you can find it on great deals at Wishtrend. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">

Olens Scarlet Halloween Collection & Olens Shine <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/K2huDTk.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Olens Shine lenses" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="640" src="https://i.imgur.com/K2huDTk.jpg" title="Olens Shine lenses" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It's time to start a spooky season, but do you know that Korean eyestyling brand Olens has a solution even for Halloween? This time I tried regular lenses from the Shine series and Scarlet Halloween Collection. </div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">About Olens </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Olens is the no. 1 premium colour contact lens brand from South Korea. This brand makes regular lenses as well as coloured lenses. It's a pioneer in Beauty&Healthy eye styling, and it's a brand that is recognised all over the world. Olens products were used in many Kdramas and photoshoots. The brand was in the spotlight of many beauty programs in Korea. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Can coloured lenses be corrective? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I feel like many people think that contact lenses are not for eyes with no vision problems and that coloured lenses shouldn't be used by people with vision issues. That's not true! The main reason for wearing lenses for many people is aesthetic issues or comfort issues - I started to wear lenses because I find glasses more problematic, and they usually don't fit me well. Lenses don't make me tired, and I feel like thanks to contact lenses my sight is doing better than it would do with glasses. Coloured lenses are sometimes called "cosmetic lenses" since they change the visual colour of your iris, and that's something some people don't know - when you buy coloured lenses from Olens you can fit them to your needs, if you need corrective aspect of lenses, you can choose the shade of the lens and power. All the lenses I tested in this post are -3.00 power. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
How to choose lenses for my eyes and skin? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">If you want to try Olens so badly, but don't know what colour fits your skin - Olens has the <a href="https://olensglobal.com/gallery/regram.php" target="_blank">#FindMyOlens</a> option which helps you choose a lens shade that fits your skin tone. You can also choose graphic size and colour. There are even styling videos that can help you choose a makeup style to fit your eyes with Olens lenses on. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">This time the photos won't be as detailed as in previous Olens posts - sadly, my phone decided to stop co-operating. As long as it's easy to take macro shots of textures with a professional camera, taking macro shots of my iris doesn't work that well. Still, I hope the photos will show you well how Olens lenses look on my eyes. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/oDRXYHz.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Olens Shine Black" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="600" src="https://i.imgur.com/oDRXYHz.jpg" title="Olens Shine Black" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Olens Shine Black </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote>DIA (diameter) 14,2 mm | G.DIA (graphic diameter) 13.0 mm | Base curve 8.7mm | Water content: 43% | Material: HEMA </blockquote></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Let's start with daily lenses. Olens Shine Black has amazing, cold and black shade. These lenses have a limbal ring and delicate black gradient. These lenses aren't that enlarging, but I love them. My eyes are light so darker lenses are my favourite since I feel like I look more visible in them. I find HEMA very comfortable in my eyes. I'm sure on darker eyes the effect will look as natural as on blue/green eyes. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/j3tcr8L.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Olens Shine Touch Milky Brown" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="600" src="https://i.imgur.com/j3tcr8L.jpg" title="Olens Shine Touch Milky Brown" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Olens Shine Touch Milky Brown </span> </h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote>DIA (diameter) 14,2 mm | G.DIA (graphic diameter) 12.7 mm | Base curve 8.6mm | Water content: 40% | Material: Silicone Hydrogel </blockquote></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I believe I haven't tried lenses like Olens Shine Touch Milky Brown for a long time, since Silicone Hydrogel is not as common if it comes to Olens as HEMA or Puscon. Still, I think this material is nice. My eyes don't feel dry. Olens Shine Touch Milky Brown are monthly lenses. They are available in shades of Milky Brown, Milky Choo and Milky Gray. I wasn't sure if I might enjoy the Milky Brown shade since this design looks super natural with this milky blending. These lenses also have a limbal ring that reminds me of the ViVi ring but in a more natural version. The graphic diameter is ideal if you just want to add a delicate accent to your eyes. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/60EtV9d.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Olens Scarlet Halloween Collection" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="600" src="https://i.imgur.com/60EtV9d.jpg" title="Olens Scarlet Halloween Collection" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Olens Scarlet Halloween Collection </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote>DIA (diameter) 14,5 mm | Base curve 8.6mm | Water content: 38% | Material: HEMA </blockquote></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">This collection is ideal for Halloween, cosplay... or some concerts. I'm not joking, I was telling my friends that I might wear some of these lenses to some gigs. <b>Twiling Red</b> is one of my favourite models, it's a full red lens with a black ring around it. Comfortable and effective lenses. The pigmentation is not looking like a gradient but still, if you don't look at the eye from a very short distance then the effect is nice. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/qKMRjZK.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Olens Scarlet Halloween Collection" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="600" src="https://i.imgur.com/qKMRjZK.jpg" title="Olens Scarlet Halloween Collection" /></a></div><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Blood Mary</b> is a full red lens with no details. I would wear it daily even if these lenses might scare someone. I believe lenses like these wore Doja Cat in Paint The Town Red, so if you need some Halloween inspo - you're welcome. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/beY5VVl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Olens Scarlet Halloween Collection" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="600" src="https://i.imgur.com/beY5VVl.jpg" title="Olens Scarlet Halloween Collection" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>White Ghost</b> lenses are white and they cover my natural eye color. I find that impressive even if my eyes are lighter. This model reminds me of the band Motionless in White, I believe this band used some non-regular lenses in their image. I tried these lenses first so I found them comfortable to wear even if I was scared since I never tried lenses that are almost fully covered. Don't worry, your vision won't be disrupted by lenses. By the way, I'm not sure what has happened with the photo, but somehow the lens is not as visible as in real life, but I can guarantee, it looks better than on a photo.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/fQvjQgQ.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Olens Scarlet Halloween Collection" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="600" src="https://i.imgur.com/fQvjQgQ.jpg" title="Olens Scarlet Halloween Collection" /></a></div><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Ghost Blood </b>is very similar white the red detail. It's a nice design, can't say anything bad about it. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/tpXiJmI.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Olens Scarlet Halloween Collection" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="600" src="https://i.imgur.com/tpXiJmI.jpg" title="Olens Scarlet Halloween Collection" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Puff Girls Pink</b> does have a pink shade and it's visible. You can clearly see the difference between pink and red lenses. What's cool about the Scarlet Halloween Collection is that if you need corrective lenses you can still wear this line, I got mine with a -3.00 description and they work perfectly. What's cool, you get 5 different pairs in one box. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
I am from the US, can I still order lenses from Olens? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Yes. Contact lenses in the US are not sold as easily as in Europe. In comparison, in Europe, I can ask my optometrist or eye doctor to order lenses for me or I can order them on my own. Some brands are available in stores so even if you're out of lenses you can buy them. I had a situation when I got my first lenses and I didn't know that 1-day lenses are not as easy to put as 1-month lenses I needed to grab a new pair in a random drugstore in Paris. The US situation looks different because of the US FCLCA (The Fairness to Contact Lens Consumers Act) so Olens can be ordered if you're living in the US but your lenses will go through a prescription verification system. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/AkhmdzP.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Olens Shine lenses" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="640" src="https://i.imgur.com/AkhmdzP.jpg" title="Olens Shine lenses" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">

I started with La Roche Posay Anthelios UVMune 400 Oil Control Fluid SPF50+ which is one of the best sunscreens in Europe you can get at the moment, but Vichy released a new version of sunscreen I tried before. Vichy Capital Soleil UV-Clear Anti-imperfections Water Fluid SPF 50+ PA++++ is an alternative for oily and combination skin types. </div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">What's UV? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">UV stands for Ultraviolet, it's nothing else than the selected range of frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum. UV rays are not visible to humans but it doesn't mean that they don't exist. Each type of UV - UVA, UVB and UVC has different wavelengths and different properties. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
UVA, UVB and UVC - what does each of them do and where you can meet them? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I'm sure you know about UVA and UVB but UVC or the difference between UVA2 and UVA1? Let's start from the shortest wavelengths - UVC (100nm - 280nm) exist in space and it's absorbed by the ozone layer, it can kill bacteria that's why on Earth you can find it in germicidal lamps - you might ask me, but these lamps are usually visible to a human - it's because they are made in a way that makes them safe for you and other people - you shouldn't enter the room when the UV lamp is on and make people aware that the lamp is on we add other substances so the lamp has a blue/purple colour when it's on. This technology is used for example at labs and hospitals. We all remember UVB (280nm –315nm) because it is said that B in UVB stands for BURN. Indeed, this UV length is responsible for sunburns, but it also helps with the synthesis of Vitamin D - a vitamin which we all need because lack of it can lead to osteoporosis. UVB is focused on the epidermis aka the outer layer of the skin while UVA (315nm –400nm) can penetrate through the epidermis and dermis so it penetrates your skin deeper. A in its name stands for Aging. The bad news is that UVA can penetrate glass, and both UVA and UVB cause lots of damage including skin cancer and oxidative stress. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Should I wear sunscreen at home? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">We already know that UVA penetrates through the glass so do we need to use sunscreen at home? Yes, especially if you spend lots of time working near the window then it's better to put on a layer of sunscreen in the morning and have any type of protection at home as well. But you can also use window films to reduce the risk. The choice is left to you, what I do is keep my blinds on the window during the entire morning and when the sun is not that intense because my windows are situated on the Eastern side the light usually starts to fade afternoon - usually by afternoon I already have sunscreen on, few times reapplied. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
What's the difference between mineral and chemical sunscreen? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">It depends on which side we look at this topic. Mineral sunscreens are sunscreens that don't contain any carbon atoms - this automatically makes them inorganic sunscreens. Chemical sunscreens contain carbon atoms, which makes them organic substances. The main difference is that mineral sunscreen usually leaves a white cast, and it's better if we use both Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide for a broad spectrum of UV protection. Chemical sunscreens don't leave a white cast, and they have more sophisticated formulas. Both are amazing, in some cases, PIH (hyperpigmentation), mineral sunscreens, and natural pigments can make a good layer of protection from UV rays. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/OTujg5O.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Vichy Capital Soleil UV-Clear Anti-imperfections Water Fluid SPF 50+ PA++++" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/OTujg5O.jpg" title="Vichy Capital Soleil UV-Clear Anti-imperfections Water Fluid SPF 50+ PA++++" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
About Vichy</span> </h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Vichy is a French dermo-cosmetics brand which I guess everyone knows about. Vichy was created in 1931 by Dr Prosper Haller. The name of the brand originates from the name of the city - Vichy in France. The main ingredient of Vichy products is water - Vichy volcano water. It's not your regular water, but thermal water enriched in minerals. Vichy is focusing on creating products based on research - Vichy tries its best to create hypoallergic products. Lately, Vichy has been trying to make formulas and products more environment-friendly. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/iwjijQK.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Vichy Capital Soleil UV-Clear Anti-imperfections Water Fluid SPF 50+ PA++++" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/iwjijQK.jpg" title="Vichy Capital Soleil UV-Clear Anti-imperfections Water Fluid SPF 50+ PA++++" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Vichy Capital Soleil UV-Clear Anti-imperfections Water Fluid SPF 50+ PA++++ - Packaging </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">When I saw Vichy Capital Soleil UV-Clear Anti-imperfections Water Fluid SPF 50+ PA++++ I had to get it. Since I ordered it from <a href="https://lyko.com" target="_blank">Lyko</a> (this post is not sponsored) and this shop is from Sweden, the entire packaging is in... English, Swedish, French and Finnish. There's also text in Danish & Norwegian. In this case, we don't have double packaging, but sometimes in Baltic countries, you can spot "double packaging" on fresh releases. Similar to <a href="https://www.kherblog.com/2023/04/la-roche-posay-anthelios-uvmune-400-oil-control-fluid-2023.html" target="_blank">La Roche Posay,</a> Vichy has a typical bottle shape for the Capital Soleil line. What <a href="https://www.instagram.com/kindofstephen/" target="_blank">@kindofstephen</a> noticed last time I posted about the 2021 UV-Clear version are stickers. You can easily remove them before throwing the product into the bin. L'Oréal Group, the owner of both Vichy and La Roche Posay, tries to make its brand greener, and if it comes to these stickers on the packaging - you can't see it well first, the sticker stays in place (I can't say that about Matrix, the other brand that belongs to L'Oréal Group), but it's easy to remove. It's not a greenwashing, but a real thing for L'Oréal Group to make the recycling process of their products easier. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Vichy Capital Soleil UV-Clear Anti-imperfections Water Fluid SPF 50+ PA++++ comes in a 40ml plastic bottle with a great pump, the same as in Vichy Capital Soleil UV-age Daily SPF50+ Pa++++ . This time I'm in the middle of using it so I do not know if it has the same issues once you're near ending the product. Vichy doesn't have any information in Braille - something that Vichy's sister brand, La Roche Posay has. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Vichy Capital Soleil UV-Clear Anti-imperfections Water Fluid SPF 50+ PA++++ - UVA&UVB protection </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Vichy Capital Soleil UV-Clear Anti-imperfections Water Fluid SPF 50+ PA++++ is supposed to provide UVA & UVB protection. According to the brand, this sunscreen has SPF50+ protection, but UVA protection is more confusing. PPD above 16 is a substitute for PA ++++ so as you can see UVA protection scale is a bit confusing. The way the EU marks UVA protection is even more confusing - does Vichy sunscreen have a UVA mark in a circle? Yes! In general, every sunscreen needs PPD that is at least 1/3rd value of its UVB protection to get the circle mark. Vichy Capital Soleil UV-age Daily SPF50+ Pa++++ provided UVA protection PPD/UVA-PF 46. A few local pharmacies and articles on Vogue Poland suggest that UVA-PF/PPD of Vichy Capital Soleil UV-Clear Anti-imperfections Water Fluid SPF 50+ PA++++ is 46. The article was a sponsored material so I guess it's a legit source. The PPD system is better, because if the PPD value is near 50, the better protection the product provides, but in this case PPD value is high. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/jpjK09yU93U" width="320" youtube-src-id="jpjK09yU93U"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Vichy Capital Soleil UV-Clear Anti-imperfections Water Fluid SPF 50+ PA++++ - Scent & Texture </span> </h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I love Vichy's latest sunscreens for its texture. Vichy Capital Soleil UV-Clear Anti-imperfections Water Fluid SPF 50+ PA++++ didn't disappoint me, it's the same good texture I know - satin-like finishing, fluid-like, but creamy texture. It's a delicate formula, but this time it looks more white and it doesn't show any white cast on my skin. Once again, Vichy Capital Soleil UV-Clear Anti-imperfections Water Fluid SPF 50+ PA++++ has perfume in the ingredients, it has a delicate scent. The smell isn't different than in Vichy Capital Soleil UV-age Daily SPF50+ Pa++++. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/b3c73bJ.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Vichy Capital Soleil UV-Clear Anti-imperfections Water Fluid SPF 50+ PA++++" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/b3c73bJ.jpg" title="Vichy Capital Soleil UV-Clear Anti-imperfections Water Fluid SPF 50+ PA++++" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Vichy Capital Soleil UV-Clear Anti-imperfections Water Fluid SPF 50+ PA++++ - Ingredients </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote>Aqua/Water, Alcohol Denat, Diisopropyl Sebacate, Silica, Isopropyl Myristate, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Ethylhexyl Triazone, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Glycerin, Ci 77891/Titanium Dioxide, Propanediol, C12-22 Alkyl Acrylate/Hydroxyethylacrylate Copolymer, Niacinamide, Drometrizole Trisiloxane, Perlite, Tocopherol, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Terephthalylidene Dicamphor Sulfonic Acid, Ci 77492/Iron Oxides, Caprylyl Glycol, Pentylene Glycol, Triethanolamine, Hydrolyzed Rice Protein, Ci 77491/Iron Oxides, Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate, Silica Silylate, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Butylene Glycol, Ci 77499/Iron Oxides, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Vitreoscilla Ferment, Disodium EDTA, Parfum </blockquote></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Water</b> hides in cosmetic products under names such as Aqua or Eau. It's a solvent, but it's not your regular drinking water. Water in skin care needs to fit some standards. It should be clean and free from minerals, microorganisms or other substances. Usually, water makes up the majority of the content of the product. <b>Alcohol Denat </b>is an immense topic in skincare. Alcohol can be good or bad for your skin, but sometimes the amount makes a poison. Alcohol, after all, is a prominent solvent. It makes active substances penetrate the skin deeper. This effect has its cost - the skin is getting a bit irritated. Some substances can be dissolved only in alcohol. This ingredient has antibacterial properties. It works as a preservative by preventing microorganisms from growing in the product. It has some awful sides too - it can dry your skin, mainly if we use it in large amounts. Sensitive skin is not a fan of this ingredient. <b>Diisopropyl Sebacate</b> is an emollient common in sunscreens since it helps create a nice formula, it's also common in lip products. Silica is a mineral-natural ingredient. It's popular in makeup and skincare. It can absorb sebum or thicken the texture. <b>Isopropyl Myristate</b> is a dry emollient. This ingredient makes your skin soft or even velvet in touch, it helps keep moisture inside the skin by creating a delicate film on the surface of the skin. It makes the product less sticky and in hair care products it adds shine to hair. Not every skin might like it, it can be comedogenic. <b>Ethylhexyl Salicylate</b> or Octisalate is a sun-protecting agent. It's a chemical sunscreen that protects the skin from UVB radiation (280-320nm), but it has its peak at 306nm which makes it a weak sunscreen. <b>Ethylhexyl Triazone </b>or Uvinul T 150 is a sun-protecting agent. It covers the UVB range (280-320nm). Its peak is at 314 nm. <b>Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine </b>is quite a hard name to remember, that's why you can find people talking about this ingredient by calling it Tinosorb S. It's one of the newer types of sunscreen agents and one of the strongest ones. It's a chemical sunscreen that protects skin from UVA (315-400 nm) & UVB (280-315 nm), and its peak is high. It's a stable sunscreen that works with other sun-protecting substances to protect their early photodegradation. <b>Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane </b>or Avobenzone is a sun-protecting agent. It protects skin from UVA I and UVA II wavelengths (310-400 nm) and its peak is 357nm. It's not a stable sunscreen that's why we use it with other chemical sunscreens. <b>Glycerin</b> or Glycerol is a humectant. Its origin can be natural or synthetic - depending on the product. It protects TEWL (transepidermal water loss) and naturally occurs in the skin. It's one of the NMFs - natural moisturizing factors. It's practical in hair care. Glycerin won't clog your skin or irritate it just the opposite - it protects your skin from irritation.<b> Titanium Dioxide (Ci 778911)</b> is a mineral (or physical) sunscreen agent. It protects your skin from UVB and UVA II radiation and might cover some lower waves in the UVA I spectrum. It has a typical white colour visible on the skin, unless it's a nano version then this white tint might not be visible at all. This ingredient has a second task - it works as a pigment. Titanium Dioxide works perfectly for skin that needs visible protection like skin with melasma, nice that white pigment works as a barrier or protective film on the skin. It has one additional task, it makes products stay fresh a bit longer. <b>Propanediol</b> is also known as natural glycol - an alternative to propylene glycol. Propanediol is a solvent with additional moisturizing properties. It makes the product smooth to the touch. It can even improve the effectiveness of active ingredients. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>C12-22 Alkyl Acrylate/Hydroxyethylacrylate Copolymer</b> is a thickener. <b>Niacinamide</b> is a form of vitamin B3 - a vitamin soluble in water. It helps with problems like wrinkles, acne, skin texture, and enlarged pores and promotes collagen synthesis. Niacinamide makes the skin barrier stronger. It might be handy in cellulite treatments. Do you want to fight pigmentation or uneven skin? Try to mix niacinamide with Kojic Acid, Arbutin, Vitamin C, Tranexamic Acid or Retinol. <b>Drometrizole Trisiloxane</b> or Mexoryl XL is a sun-protecting agent developed and patented by L'Oréal Group in 1989. It's a chemical, photostable sunscreen that protects the skin from the negative effects of UVA & UVB radiation. According to the brand, Mexoryl XL is safe for the environment. <b>Perlite</b> is a natural exfoliant. It's an absorbent derived from volcanic rock and a source of silica. This ingredient can gently exfoliate your skin and scalp. <b>Tocopherol</b> is an antioxidant known as Vitamin E. It's an oil-soluble vitamin that fights free radicals and makes UVB protection and natural lipid barrier stronger. It's good to mix it with vitamin C for better effects. Oily skin might react with pore-clogging to vitamin E. It is not true that vitamin E works as a preservative or helps with scars. <b>Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride</b> is a combination of coconut oil and glycerin. It's a notable emollient, quite common in skincare. It leaves a protective film on the surface of the epidermis to save your cutis from dehydration. Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride has a significant role in skin care products - it makes the application process effortless. Some people might experience pore-clogging after using Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride but pore-clogging and skin reactions to ingredients are individual. What works for you might not work for someone else. <b>Terephthalylidene Dicamphor Sulfonic Acid</b> is a long name, that's why you probably know this ingredient as Mexoryl SX or ecamsule. Mexoryl SX was patented in 1982 by L'oreal so when we talk about other brands we stick to the name Ecamsule. This sunscreen protects your skin from UVA radiation (315–400 nm) and it has its peak at 345nm. It's a chemical sunscreen with high stability. <b>Ci 77492/Iron Oxides</b> is a matte, yellow pigment. <b>Caprylyl Glycol</b> is an oily emollient and humectant. It leaves a moisturizing film on the surface of the skin. <b>Pentylene Glycol</b> is mostly a solvent and stabilizer, but it has great moisturizing properties. <b>Triethanolamine</b> regulates the pH of the product. <b>Hydrolyzed Rice Protein</b> is a humectant. This ingredient is useful in hair care since it can be anti-static. It makes hair condition better. In skincare, this ingredient creates a delicate film to prevent skin from TEWL. It makes detergents in the product less harsh.Ci 77491/Iron Oxides is a matte, red pigment. <b>Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate</b> neutralizes metal ions in the product.<b> Silica Silylate</b> prevents caking. <b>Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer</b> is a synthetic polymer and quite a large molecule. It works as a thickener and emulsion stabiliser. <b>Butylene Glycol</b> is a common ingredient in products. It's not only a solvent. We use butylene glycol because it helps with the penetration of active ingredients, protects products from drying and moisturizes skin and hair. This ingredient can prevent hair loss and make your hair stronger. <b>Ci 77499/Iron Oxides</b> is a black pigment. It's used in many coloured products like foundations to get the colour - not always the black one. <b>Hydroxyethylcellulose</b> is a thickener and it creates a protective film on the skin. <b>Vitreoscilla Ferment</b> is an ingredient obtained during the fermentation process. It's a soothing ingredient recommended for sensitive skin. It has a positive meaning on the skin's microbiome. This ingredient is typical for L'oreal brands such as Vichy, Biotherm and La Roche Posay. Disodium EDTA neutralizes metal ions in the formula to keep products fresh. <b>Fragrance (Parfum)</b> is a scent composition. It can cause allergic reactions. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/AHPZRtA.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Vichy Capital Soleil UV-Clear Anti-imperfections Water Fluid SPF 50+ PA++++" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/AHPZRtA.jpg" title="Vichy Capital Soleil UV-Clear Anti-imperfections Water Fluid SPF 50+ PA++++" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
How does Vichy Capital Soleil UV-Clear Anti-imperfections Water Fluid SPF 50+ PA++++ work? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I tried Vichy Capital Soleil UV-age Daily SPF50+ Pa++++ in 2021 and I enjoyed it. It was one of the best European sunscreens I've ever tried. I wasn't sure if I should try Vichy Capital Soleil UV-Clear Anti-imperfections Water Fluid SPF 50+ PA++++, because even if I enjoyed the old version (it's still available), both products have niacinamide and my skin is not a big fan of it. Vichy is not a cheap sunscreen, the price of sunscreens went so high in Poland. Back then the price was about €20 (80 zł), nowadays it costs €33 (150 zł). I got it for €20 which is about 90 zł so this price is quite normal on sale/promotional offer. Let's start about the claims and the technology behind this sunscreen. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Vichy Capital Soleil UV-Clear Anti-imperfections Water Fluid SPF 50+ PA++++ is a lightweight formula with salicylic acid to help more with acne than the previous Capital Soleil formulas. It's supposed to reduce 66% of acne, 31% of sebum and 32% of pigmentation changes on the skin. These data are based on Vichy's test done on a group of people for almost two months. I've been using this sunscreen for a bit longer and I can't say if that's true for one reason - sunscreen is an additional product, I don't treat it as an active product - it's supposed to protect me from the sun, and yes Vichy does phenomenal work with sun protection. There's a bit of marketing because niacinamide can help with acne, but sunscreens themselves protect us from PIE. Usually sun + acne pimple is a good recipe for pigmentation on the skin, that's why sunscreen is so important in your routine - it protects your skin from burning, aging and other damages like pigmentation. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Vichy Capital Soleil UV-Clear Anti-imperfections Water Fluid SPF 50+ PA++++ doesn't leave any white cast, the formula is lightweight and it doesn't migrate! You can use it on your eyelids. It does contain alcohol, but honestly? I don't feel it as much as in LRP sunscreen. Similar to Vichy Capital Soleil UV-age Daily SPF 50+ Pa++++, Vichy Capital Soleil UV-Clear Anti-imperfections Water Fluid SPF 50+ PA++++ is based on the Netlock formula. The formula itself is lightweight thanks to netlock technology. What does Netlock technology stand for? It's an encapsulation technology patented by L'oreal, this allows L'oreal to create ultra-light formulas with high-protection sunscreen agents. Vichy Capital Soleil UV-age Daily SPF50+ Pa++++ is not the only sunscreen based on netlock technology, previously L'oreal used this technology in their other products such as famous La Roche Posay Anthelios, Garnier Ambre Solaire and Mixa Solaire products. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I do enjoy this sunscreen, but honestly, it doesn't work with my makeup as well as the UV-Age version, during the summer I need to add some mineral powder to my makeup to make sure it lasts long. I do need to wash my sponges more often since the sunscreen likes to stick to them. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/Pd3XbOg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Vichy Capital Soleil UV-Clear Anti-imperfections Water Fluid SPF 50+ PA++++" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/Pd3XbOg.jpg" title="Vichy Capital Soleil UV-Clear Anti-imperfections Water Fluid SPF 50+ PA++++" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">What's the difference between Vichy Capital Soleil UV-age Daily SPF50+ Pa++++ and Vichy Capital Soleil UV-Clear Anti-imperfections Water Fluid SPF 50+ PA++++? </span></h3><div style="text-align: justify;">The main difference between Vichy Capital Soleil UV-age Daily SPF50+ Pa++++ and Vichy Capital Soleil UV-Clear Anti-imperfections Water Fluid SPF 50+ PA++++ are ingredients. UV-age is more suitable for dry skin, while UV-Clear is better for acne-prone and oily skin types. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
How much does Vichy Capital Soleil UV-Clear Anti-imperfections Water Fluid SPF 50+ PA++++ cost and where to get it? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Vichy Capital Soleil UV-Clear Anti-imperfections Water Fluid SPF 50+ PA++++ is available on <a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-2137582" target="_blank">Lookfantastic</a>* at it costs 26.45€ for 40ml. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">

Olens Ever Shine line is a fresh Olens line with an adorable, natural tint to the lens. </div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">About Olens </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Olens is the no. 1 premium colour contact lens brand from South Korea. This brand makes regular lenses as well as coloured lenses. It's a pioneer in Beauty&Healthy eye styling, and it's a brand that is recognised all over the world. Olens products were used in many Kdramas and photoshoots. The brand was in the spotlight of many beauty programs in Korea. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Can coloured lenses be corrective? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I feel like many people think that contact lenses are not for eyes with no vision problems and that coloured lenses shouldn't be used by people with vision issues. That's not true! The main reason for wearing lenses for many people is aesthetic issues or comfort issues - I started to wear lenses because I find glasses more problematic, and they usually don't fit me well. Lenses don't make me tired, and I feel like thanks to contact lenses my sight is doing better than it would do with glasses. Coloured lenses are sometimes called "cosmetic lenses" since they change the visual colour of your iris, and that's something some people don't know - when you buy coloured lenses from Olens you can fit them to your needs, if you need corrective aspect of lenses, you can choose the shade of the lens and power. All the lenses I tested in this post are -3.00 power. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/wisvkd5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Olens Ever Shine Brown & Gray" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/wisvkd5.jpg" title="Olens Ever Shine Brown & Gray" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
How to choose lenses for my eyes and skin? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">If you want to try Olens so badly, but don't know what colour fits your skin - Olens has the <a href="https://olensglobal.com/gallery/regram.php" target="_blank">#FindMyOlens</a> option which helps you choose a lens shade that fits your skin tone. You can also choose graphic size and colour. There are even styling videos that can help you choose a makeup style to fit your eyes with Olens lenses on. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Olens Ever Shine </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">The motto of these lenses is "warm up your adorable persona", and I have to agree, I feel like darker lenses with bigger diameters and graphic diameters give more depth to my eye. I adore Olens when they add the depth to lens by making the outer ring a bit darker, but the graphic gradient more delicate. It looks super natural, and although my eyes look bigger in Olens Ever Shine, they do look natural and adorable. The main point of these lenses is 13.8mm G.DIA and brightening and soft toned-up shade for daily use. Olens released Ever Shine as 1-day aka daily use lenses, they are ideal if you travel since you can just change a pair every day. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/UPqCjmj.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Olens Ever Shine Brown & Gray" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/UPqCjmj.jpg" title="Olens Ever Shine Brown & Gray" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Olens Ever Shine Gray </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote>DIA (diameter) 14,5 mm | G.DIA (graphic diameter) 13.8 mm | Base curve 8.7mm | Water content: 43% | Material: HEMA </blockquote></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I love these lenses! Although I tested -3.50 power in this version (you can get them in 0.00 to -8.00 power) they were a bit too strong for me, and if you wear too strong lenses, your eyes might get tired earlier, but at least I know that if I have to change the power then -3.50 is too much for me. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/foUTmca.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Olens Ever Shine Brown & Gray" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="600" src="https://i.imgur.com/foUTmca.jpg" title="Olens Ever Shine Brown & Gray" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">The material itself is amazing, especially now during allergy season I feel like my eyes like daily lenses more than monthly ones. The colour is great and it blends well with my natural eye colour. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/MDJu90i.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Olens Ever Shine Brown & Gray" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/MDJu90i.jpg" title="Olens Ever Shine Brown & Gray" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I have to admit, these lenses are super comfortable. I didn't notice the base curve since usually all lenses have an 8.6 or 8.7 mm base curve but lately, I found out that this size is the best for me, and that base curve means a lot. I had lenses with a base curve of 9.0mm and they fell out of my eye, so a base curve of 8.7mm is ideal for me, but it's a personal thing. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/pCa6ZEM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Olens Ever Shine Brown & Gray" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/pCa6ZEM.jpg" title="Olens Ever Shine Brown & Gray" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Olens Ever Shine Brown </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote>DIA (diameter) 14,5 mm | G.DIA (graphic diameter) 13.8 mm | Base curve 8.7mm | Water content: 43% | Material: HEMA </blockquote></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I love dark lenses, but I would never thought I'd enjoy Olens Ever Shine Brown more than Gray's version. This version looks so lovely on Green/Blue eyes. Even if Ever Shine Brown is more of a warm-tinted shade, it's adorable! I tested them in my regular power -3.00 and they do feel super comfortable on the eye. With too strong power your eyes might get tired, but the water content of these lenses is amazing. Even if in this case material is HEMA, not Puscon. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/3VivcnG.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Olens Ever Shine Brown & Gray" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="600" src="https://i.imgur.com/3VivcnG.jpg" title="Olens Ever Shine Brown & Gray" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I'm really surprised how the details in graphic design seem to be solid but they are gradient so the lenses blend well with the natural eye. If you like coloured lenses or you want to play with them - go for this model, it's adorable! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/2DBZD52.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Olens Ever Shine Brown & Gray" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/2DBZD52.jpg" title="Olens Ever Shine Brown & Gray" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
I am from the US, can I still order lenses from Olens? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Yes. Contact lenses in the US are not sold as easily as in Europe. In comparison, in Europe, I can ask my optometrist or eye doctor to order lenses for me or I can order them on my own. Some brands are available in stores so even if you're out of lenses you can buy them. I had a situation when I got my first lenses and I didn't know that 1-day lenses are not as easy to put as 1-month lenses I needed to grab a new pair in a random drugstore in Paris. The US situation looks different because of the US FCLCA (The Fairness to Contact Lens Consumers Act) so Olens can be ordered if you're living in the US but your lenses will go through a prescription verification system. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/47i99Yd.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Olens Ever Shine Brown & Gray" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/47i99Yd.jpg" title="Olens Ever Shine Brown & Gray" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">

How to choose lenses for my eyes and skin? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">If you want to try Olens so badly, but don't know what colour fits your skin - Olens has the <a href="https://olensglobal.com/gallery/regram.php" target="_blank">#FindMyOlens</a> option which helps you choose a lens shade that fits your skin tone. You can also choose graphic size and colour. There are even styling videos that can help you choose a makeup style to fit your eyes with Olens lenses on. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
What's Puscon? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Since lenses used by New Jeans are mostly based on Puscon (only Haerin uses Nils Gray which are lenses made with HEMA material) it's good to know what you're using. Some of the puscon's features you should know about is that puscon is the safest bio material for contact lenses. It forms something called a "Strong Hydration Shield". It adds more moisture to the eye. Puscon prevents protein deposition and has a strong UV-block function to protect your eyes from UV radiation. Yes, UV radiation is dangerous for eyes, and it's quite rare to find lenses that block UV. My regular monthly lenses are made out of silicone-hydrogel, and puscon is more comfortable since it contains even more water and they don't get dry as fast. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/uX8y9Ai.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Choose green lenses that fits you - Olens Scandi Olive vs Olens Smoky Olive" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="600" src="https://i.imgur.com/uX8y9Ai.jpg" title="Choose green lenses that fits you - Olens Scandi Olive vs Olens Smoky Olive" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Olens Scandi Olive </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote>DIA (diameter) 14,2 mm | G.DIA (graphic diameter) 11,9 mm | Base curve 8.6mm | Water content: 40% | Material: HEMA </blockquote></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Olens Scandi Olive lenses are a monthly lens. I think the Scandi line is ideal if you're new to contact lenses - <a href="https://www.kherblog.com/2023/02/olens-scandi-aqua-spanish-real-gray-lenses.html#google_vignette" target="_blank">one of the first lenses from Olens I tried</a> was from the Scandi line. Graphic DIA (diameter) is only 11,9mm these lenses won't enlarge your eyes but add a bit of subtle twist to your eye colour. Scandi Olive has a light gold shade and a great, natural iris pattern. They blend with natural eye colour easily. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/HFnWJOF.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Choose green lenses that fits you - Olens Scandi Olive vs Olens Smoky Olive" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="640" src="https://i.imgur.com/HFnWJOF.jpg" title="Choose green lenses that fits you - Olens Scandi Olive vs Olens Smoky Olive" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">These lenses are super easy to put on an eye and super comfortable during the day. The design fits my eye perfectly. Fun fact, these lenses were worn by Jennie from Blackpink. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/m249yBA.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Choose green lenses that fits you - Olens Scandi Olive vs Olens Smoky Olive" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="600" src="https://i.imgur.com/m249yBA.jpg" title="Choose green lenses that fits you - Olens Scandi Olive vs Olens Smoky Olive" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Olens Smoky Olive </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote>DIA (diameter) 14,2 mm | G.DIA (graphic diameter) 13,3 mm | Base curve 8.7mm | Water content: 40% | Material: Puscon </blockquote></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Olens Smoky Olive is a daily lens and a box contains 10 lenses (5 pairs). Smoky Olive has a 0,6mm bigger G.DIA (graphic diameter) than Russian Velvet. In comparison to Scandi Olive, Smoky Olive is over 1,5mm bigger. These lenses were worn by Lisa from Blackpink. Some of the important features of these lenses are the outer ring that enlarges the eye and the natural but well-pigmented pattern. I got light eyes, but the colour change is super visible in my eyes. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/mkqjCyr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Choose green lenses that fits you - Olens Scandi Olive vs Olens Smoky Olive" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="640" src="https://i.imgur.com/mkqjCyr.jpg" title="Choose green lenses that fits you - Olens Scandi Olive vs Olens Smoky Olive" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">What's cool about Olens Smoky Olive is the material brand used - Puscon is very comfortable for daily lenses, even if HEMA lenses like Scandi are still rich in water content and comfortable to wear. I had a bit of problems wearing these lenses, but the problem was related to me being too tired so putting them on my eye took 3 minutes instead few seconds. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/UTpcx2g.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Choose green lenses that fits you - Olens Scandi Olive vs Olens Smoky Olive" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="640" src="https://i.imgur.com/UTpcx2g.jpg" title="Choose green lenses that fits you - Olens Scandi Olive vs Olens Smoky Olive" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
I am from the US, can I still order lenses from Olens? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Yes. Contact lenses in the US are not sold as easily as in Europe. In comparison, in Europe, I can ask my optometrist or eye doctor to order lenses for me or I can order them on my own. Some brands are available in stores so even if you're out of lenses you can buy them. I had a situation when I got my first lenses and I didn't know that 1-day lenses are not as easy to put as 1-month lenses I needed to grab new pair in a random drugstore in Paris. The US situation looks different because of US FCLCA (The Fairness to Contact Lens Consumers Act) so Olens can be ordered if you're living in the US but your lenses will go through a prescription verification system. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/NBSqoJ5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Choose green lenses that fits you - Olens Scandi Olive vs Olens Smoky Olive" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="600" src="https://i.imgur.com/NBSqoJ5.jpg" title="Choose green lenses that fits you - Olens Scandi Olive vs Olens Smoky Olive" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">

I'm not a huge fan of premade clay masks since they are super drying for the skin. Somehow Mary&May Cica Tea Tree Soothing Wash Off Pack found a special place on my shelf. It's a mask that mixes kaolin with great ingredients for acne-prone skin such as Centella and tea tree extract. </div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">About Mary&May </span></h3><div style="text-align: justify;">Mary&May is a Kbeauty brand, the motto of this brand is "believe in truth". So what's the truth that Mary&May is talking about? Mary&May is a skincare brand focused on good ingredients and raw materials. The brand is clear - combines the best raw materials with technology to provide effective products. All Mary&May products are cruelty-free, and the majority or even all products are Vegan-friendly. The brand tries to be transparent and eco-friendly, and Mary&May encourages us to choose smarter and healthier. Usually, patents remind us of big brands and conglomerates. Mary&May has its patented ingredient DSC™ which stands for Derma Soothing Complex. It's a combination of houttuynia cordata and tea tree extract. </div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">In general, while many brands forgot Houttuynia Cordata, I'm glad Mary&May keeps promoting this herb since I was strongly sure that after Centella Asiatica, Houttuynia Cordata is going to be an "it" herb in skincare, but somehow people were more interested in Artemisia and Mugwort. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/CMWduPD.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Mary&May Cica Tea Tree Soothing Wash Off Pack" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/CMWduPD.jpg" title="Mary&May Cica Tea Tree Soothing Wash Off Pack" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Is Mary&May cruelty-free? </span></h3><div style="text-align: justify;">According to the brand, Mary&May is cruelty-free. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/zkQINIP.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Mary&May Cica Tea Tree Soothing Wash Off Pack" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/zkQINIP.jpg" title="Mary&May Cica Tea Tree Soothing Wash Off Pack" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Mary&May Cica Tea Tree Soothing Wash Off Pack - Packaging </span> </h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Mary&May Cica Tea Tree Soothing Wash Off Pack comes in that cool eco packaging. The box is made out of recycled paper. Mary&May thought about everything that's why the brand is using eco-friendly soybean oil ink. That's something you would expect from an eco-friendly brand that wants to focus on sustainability. The packaging is made out of glass and it's a super comfortable design, the top lid is made out of some kind of metal, so it's not plastic. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/osKFCLL.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Mary&May Cica Tea Tree Soothing Wash Off Pack" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/osKFCLL.jpg" title="Mary&May Cica Tea Tree Soothing Wash Off Pack" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Mary&May Cica Tea Tree Soothing Wash Off Pack - Texture & Scent </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Mary&May Cica Tea Tree Soothing Wash Off Pack has a thick, moisturizing texture in a green colour. It's not a typical texture for a clay mask since for me it's more creamy and thick than the majority of clay masks I've tried. But it's easy to spread. The scent is quite natural. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/S8095Df.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Mary&May Cica Tea Tree Soothing Wash Off Pack" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/S8095Df.jpg" title="Mary&May Cica Tea Tree Soothing Wash Off Pack" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Mary&May Cica Tea Tree Soothing Wash Off Pack - Ingredients </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote>Water, Kaolin, Glycerin, Bentonite, Propanediol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Dipropylene Glycol, Calamine, Centella Asiatica Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract, Xanthan Gum, Butylene Glycol, Chlorella Vulgaris Powder, Ci 77492, Ci 77499, Centella Asiatica Extract, Houttuynia Cordata Extract, Ethylhexylglycerin, Mentha Arvensis Powder, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Fragrance, Allantoin, Tocopherol, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Extract, Ectoin </blockquote></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Water</b> hides in cosmetic products under names such as Aqua or Eau. It's a solvent, but it's not your regular drinking water. Water in skin care needs to fit some standards. It should be clean and free from minerals, microorganisms or other substances. Usually, water makes up the majority of the content of the product. <b>Kaolin</b> or china clay is a white type of clay. It's ideal for all skin types, especially sensitive and mature. If you deal with rosacea then kaolin is clay for you. Kaolin works as an absorbent since it absorbs the sebum. <b>Glycerin</b> or Glycerol is a humectant. Its origin can be natural or synthetic - depending on the product. It protects TEWL (transepidermal water loss) and naturally occurs in the skin. It's one of the NMFs - natural moisturizing factors. It's practical in hair care. Glycerin won't clog your skin or irritate it just the opposite - it protects your skin from irritation. <b>Bentonite</b> is a type of clay, it's a montmorillonite mixed with other ingredients such as fluoride, zinc, copper or other minerals. Depending on the mineral, bentonite can have different colours and properties. Bentonite absorbs sebum, it has antiseptic properties. <b>Propanediol</b> is also known as natural glycol - an alternative to propylene glycol. Propanediol is a solvent with additional moisturizing properties. It makes the product smooth to the touch. It can even improve the effectiveness of active ingredients. <b>1,2-Hexanediol </b>is a synthetic solvent and preservative - it protects products from microorganisms by boosting other preservatives. At the same time, it can moisturize the skin, and it has no unpleasant effects on your epidermis. <b>Dipropylene Glycol </b>is a solvent with moisturizing properties. <b>Calamine</b> is a mineral powder with anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties. It has a calming effect on the skin, and it works on acne. It absorbs the sebum and can be used after sun exposure. <b>Centella Asiatica Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract</b> is an extract obtained from the flower, leaf and stem of Centella Asiatica. Centella Asiatica Extract is probably the most popular extract in skincare. It comes under a few names - Asiatic pennywort, tiger grass or Gotu kola. Centella Asiatica's roots are in Ayurveda. This extract is successful because it's a source of triterpene saponins - madecassoside and asiaticoside. Centella Asiatica Extract has anti-inflammatory properties. It speeds up the wound-healing process. You can use it to treat acne since it has soothing and antibacterial properties. It boosts fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin or even helps with hyaluronic acid synthesis. Centella is recommended for rosacea and cellulitis since it helps with blood microcirculation. In hair care, Centella can help with hair growth. <b>Xanthan Gum</b> is a polysaccharide that works as a thickener. <b>Butylene Glycol</b> is a common ingredient in products. It's not only a solvent. We use butylene glycol because it helps with the penetration of active ingredients, protects products from drying and moisturizes skin and hair. This ingredient can prevent hair loss and make your hair stronger. <b>Chlorella Vulgaris Powder</b> is a green algae, it has moisturizing and soothing properties. <b>CI 77492</b> is a matte, yellow pigment. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/7Z6hrC3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Mary&May Cica Tea Tree Soothing Wash Off Pack" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/7Z6hrC3.jpg" title="Mary&May Cica Tea Tree Soothing Wash Off Pack" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>CI 77499</b> is a black pigment. It's used in many coloured products like foundations to get the colour - not always the black one. <b>Centella Asiatica Extract </b>is probably the most popular extract in skincare. It comes under a few names - Asiatic pennywort, tiger grass or Gotu kola. Centella Asiatica's roots are in Ayurveda. This extract is successful because it's a source of triterpene saponins - madecassoside and asiaticoside. Centella Asiatica Extract has anti-inflammatory properties. It speeds up the wound-healing process. You can use it to treat acne since it has soothing and antibacterial properties. It boosts fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin or even helps with hyaluronic acid synthesis. Centella is recommended for rosacea and cellulitis since it helps with blood microcirculation. In hair care, Centella can help with hair growth. <b>Houttuynia Cordata Extract</b> is an ingredient which some people with acne-prone skin love while for me, my experience was not bad but still all hail Centella! Houttuynia Cordata is a plant, which we still use in Traditional Chinese and Japanese Medicine, it's also known as Heart Leaf or Chinese lizard tail. Funny fact about Houttuynia - it's also called Fish Wort, Fish Leaf, etc. because it's an edible plant and it usually leaves a fishy aftertaste. I eat fish a lot, but I'm not a fan of the fishy taste of low-quality matcha (yep, I'm a tea & fish snob) so I don't think I would enjoy it, I'll stay with enjoying Houttuynia magic in skincare. Houttuynia is an antioxidant with anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. It's also a source of quercetin, quercitrin, rutin and hyperin. If your skin is sensitive, you might love it! It speeds up wound healing properties, and it might help with capillaries. <b>Ethylhexylglycerin</b> is a preservative with subtle moisturizing and antimicrobial properties. <b>Mentha Arvensis Powder</b> is a corn mint powder. This ingredient might be sensitizing. <b>Triethoxycaprylylsilane</b> is a silicone used to coat sunscreens and pigments. It makes the product easier to spread. <b>Fragrance (Parfum)</b> is a scent composition. It can cause allergic reactions. <b>Allantoin</b> is an ingredient that naturally occurs in our bodies, but brands usually go for the synthetic form of this substance. It comes from comfrey or soybean roots. It's a humectant with soothing and wound-healing properties. <b>Tocopherol</b> is an antioxidant known as Vitamin E. It's an oil-soluble vitamin that fights free radicals and makes UVB protection and natural lipid barrier stronger. It's good to mix it with vitamin C for better effects. Oily skin might react with pore-clogging to vitamin E. It is not true that vitamin E works as a preservative or helps with scars. <b>Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Extract</b> is related to tea tree oil. It has antibacterial and antiseptic properties. It's soothing and it helps with blemishes. <b>Ectoin</b> is a product of the fermentation process - it comes from microorganisms, and it's an amino acid with antioxidant properties. Ectoin prevents your skin from oxidative stress created by UV radiation or blue light. It has moisturizing properties. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/CI4aUPi.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Mary&May Cica Tea Tree Soothing Wash Off Pack" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/CI4aUPi.jpg" title="Mary&May Cica Tea Tree Soothing Wash Off Pack" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
How does Mary&May Cica Tea Tree Soothing Wash Off Pack work? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I enjoy using Mary&May products, especially the Cica line is great for acne-prone skin. But I got one problem, I'm not a fan of clay masks. Usually, they are super drying and even brands recommend leaving the mask until it dries. It's a mistake - when you leave something dry on your skin it automatically attracts water from the outside and inside. It makes your skin even drier, that's why the esthetician trick when you use clay masks is to spray your face with thermal water or mist or just soak pads or use toner pads and put them on the top of the clay - it'll keep the clay mask moist. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Mary&May Cica Tea Tree Soothing Wash Off Pack doesn't dry that quickly, and because the texture is thick - it's not easy to remove it. For some people, it'll be a disadvantage, but if you search for a clay mask because your skin is acne-prone and clay is great at absorbing sebum and fighting acne - go for it. I'm not disappointed with this mask, the thick texture made it last longer than other clay masks I used. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">What's cool about Mary&May Cica Tea Tree Soothing Wash Off Pack is that it's not pure clay, but it's a mix of other two ingredients that acne-prone skin loves: Centella (4,000ppm) and tea tree. It also has an ingredient about lots of people forget - Calamine. I love using Calamine on inflammation since it boosts the healing process. The mask is super simple to use - you just put a thin layer of the mask and leave it for 10-15 minutes and then wash it off. It might get a bit dry on the nose, but in general, it's not that easy to dry. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Well, this review might be short, but I honestly feel like there's not much logic behind clay mask. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/B7HDu97.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Mary&May Cica Tea Tree Soothing Wash Off Pack" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="533" src="https://i.imgur.com/B7HDu97.jpg" title="Mary&May Cica Tea Tree Soothing Wash Off Pack" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Where to buy and how much does Mary&May Cica Tea Tree Soothing Wash Off Pack cost? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I got Mary&May Cica Tea Tree Soothing Wash Off Pack from <a href="https://www.ohmybeloved.com/?shareCode=K7TFP2205MQNJ" target="_blank">OhMyBeloved</a>*. The mask costs $20.33/30ml. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">
Overall, if you search for a clay mask, this one is a great choice. Have you ever tried Mary&May before?

If that's also your problem then Jumiso has a solution for both of us. Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-Fit Sunscreen and Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-fit Daily Moisturizer are two new products from South Korean brand Jumiso. The brand released a chemical sunscreen and 2-in-1 moisturizer with high SPF protection. Are these products suitable for your skin? </div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">What's UV? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">UV stands for Ultraviolet, it's nothing else than the selected range of frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum. UV rays are not visible to humans but it doesn't mean that they don't exist. Each type of UV - UVA, UVB and UVC has different wavelengths and different properties. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
UVA, UVB and UVC - what does each of them do and where you can meet them? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I'm sure you know about UVA and UVB but UVC or the difference between UVA2 and UVA1? Let's start from the shortest wavelengths - UVC (100nm - 280nm) exist in space and it's absorbed by the ozone layer, it can kill bacteria that's why on Earth you can find it in germicidal lamps - you might ask me, but these lamps are usually visible to a human - it's because they are made in a way that makes them safe for you and other people - you shouldn't enter the room when the UV lamp is on and make people aware that the lamp is on we add other substances so the lamp has a blue/purple colour when it's on. This technology is used for example at labs and hospitals. We all remember UVB (280nm –315nm) because it is told that B in UVB stands for BURN. Indeed, this UV length is responsible for sunburns, but it also helps with the synthesis of Vitamin D - a vitamin which we all need because lack of it can lead to osteoporosis. UVB is focused on the epidermis aka the outer layer of the skin while UVA (315nm –400nm) can penetrate through the epidermis and dermis so it penetrates your skin deeper. A in its name stands for Aging. The bad news is that UVA can penetrate glass, and both UVA and UVB make lots of damage including skin cancer and oxidative stress. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
How to check UVA protection? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">We all know how to check UVB protection thanks to the SPF system, but what about UVA? Depending on the country and product UVA protection can be signified in a few ways: - PPD (Persistent Pigment Darkening) - UVA- PF - PA - Broad-spectrum </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">UVA systems are not as easy to understand as UVA. In Europe, UVA protection (UVA-PF) should be at least 1/3 of SPF protection. PPD - the higher the number, the better the protection is, while PA is based on the + system. The higher the number is pluses, the UVA protection is better. Broad-spectrum is used mostly in the US and it means that sunscreen contains UVA & UVB protection. It's best if companies clearly say what's the UVA-PF/PPD value since La Roche Posay PA/PPD is around 54 while many of the sunscreens you will see today are PA/PPD 16, both PA/PPD54 and PA/PPD16 are usually hiding under PA++++ since PA above 16 can use PA++++ mark. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Should I wear sunscreen at home? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">We already know that UVA penetrates through the glass so do we need to use sunscreen at home? Yes, especially if you spend lots of time working near the window then it's better to put on a layer of sunscreen in the morning and have any type of protection at home as well. But you can also use window films to reduce the risk. The choice is left to you, what I do is keep my blinds on the window during the entire morning and when the sun is not that intense because my windows are situated on the Eastern side the light usually starts to fade afternoon - usually by afternoon I already have sunscreen on, few times reapplied. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
What's the difference between mineral and chemical sunscreen? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">It depends on which side we look at this topic. Mineral sunscreens are sunscreens that don't contain any carbon atoms - this automatically makes them inorganic sunscreens. Chemical sunscreens contain carbon atoms, which makes them organic substances. The main difference is that mineral sunscreen usually leaves a white cast, and it's better if we use both Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide for a broad spectrum of UV protection. Chemical sunscreens don't leave a white cast, and they have more sophisticated formulas. Both are amazing, in some cases, PIH (hyperpigmentation), mineral sunscreens, and natural pigments can make a good layer of protection from UV rays. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/N1SZ3hn.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-Fit Sunscreen and Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-fit Daily Moisturizer" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="640" src="https://i.imgur.com/N1SZ3hn.jpg" title="Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-Fit Sunscreen and Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-fit Daily Moisturizer" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
About Jumiso </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Jumiso is a Korean skincare brand. The name Jumiso stands for miso - smile and ju - give, so the name can be understood as the brand wants to 'give you a smile' or make you smile (like in the actual slogan). The brand is known for its cult All Day Vitamin Brightening & Balancing Serum. In 2023 the brand released many great products like two new versions of vitamin C and new sunscreens. I was lucky enough to be able to test them for you. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-Fit Sunscreen - Packaging </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-Fit Sunscreen comes in a paper box. The tube is made out of plastic and the brand informs you how to recycle the product. I wish more brands would do what Jumiso did with Awe-Sun Airy-Fit Sunscreen - this sunscreen has a special place to write down the date of opening the product. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-Fit Sunscreen - Texture </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">The texture of Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-Fit Sunscreen is lightweight. It's a moisturizing cream that looks white, but once you apply it onto your skin then you don't have to expect white cast. It doesn't leave a white cast, it doesn't pile or sting your eyes. If you have warm-toned skin, there's a chance that Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-Fit Sunscreen might leave a delicate film on your skin, the same for darker skin tones - I would recommend reading other reviews to see how this product looks on darker skin. It works great under makeup, I feel like it acts a bit like a base product, because when I forgot to take any body sunscreen with me and I used it on my hands, my body felt so sticky. I can't feel that under makeup, but on clean skin it was annoying. It's worth mentioning that Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-Fit Sunscreen has a more satin-like finish, it adds a healthy glow to the skin. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-Fit Sunscreen - Scent </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">The good information is that Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-Fit Sunscreen is unscented. Sunscreens can have its typical scent, but somehow in this case it doesn't smell like anything to me. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-Fit Sunscreen - SPF & UVA protection </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">According to Jumiso, Awe-Sun Airy-Fit Sunscreen provides SPF50+ protection and PA++++ protection. Jumiso didn't share more detailed information related to the UVA & UVB protection values of its sunscreen. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Is Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-Fit Sunscreen cruelty-free? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">According to the brand, Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-Fit Sunscreen is cruelty-free. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Is Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-Fit Sunscreen safe for the reef? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">According to Jumiso, Awe-Sun Airy-Fit Sunscreen is reef-safe. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
What's the PAO date of Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-Fit Sunscreen? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">PAO (Period After Opening) date is 12 months. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">
Is Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-Fit Sunscreen friendly for sensitive eyes? </div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I got sensitive eyes, and my experience with this sunscreen is really good. It doesn't sting my eyes. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/29jY0bD.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-Fit Sunscreen and Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-fit Daily Moisturizer" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="640" src="https://i.imgur.com/29jY0bD.jpg" title="Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-Fit Sunscreen and Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-fit Daily Moisturizer" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-Fit Sunscreen - Ingredients</span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote>Water, Bambusa Arundinacea Stem Extract, Dibutyl Adipate, Butyloctyl Salicylate, Glycerin, Propanediol, Ethylhexyl Triazone, Terephthalylidene Dicamphor Sulfonic Acid, Polyglyceryl-3 Distearate, Niacinamide, Butylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Tromethamine, Pentylene Glycol, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Polysilicone-15, Cardiospermum Halicacabum Flower/Leaf/Vine Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Echium Plantagineum Seed Oil, Glyceryl Stearate, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, Cetearyl Alcohol, Octyldodecanol, Panthenol, Carbomer, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer, Glyceryl Stearate Citrate, Inulin Lauryl Carbamate, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Adenosine, Methylpropanediol, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil Unsaponifiables, Polyether-1, Tocopherol, Biosaccharide Gum-1 </blockquote></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Water</b> hides in cosmetic products under names such as Aqua or Eau. It's a solvent, but it's not your regular drinking water. Water in skin care needs to fit some standards. It should be clean and free from minerals, microorganisms or other substances. Usually, water makes up the majority of the content of the product. <b>Bambusa Arundinacea (Bamboo) Stem Extract</b> is an exfoliant but it can also absorb sebum. It has some antibacterial and whitening properties. It contains high amounts of silica. <b>Dibutyl Adipate</b> is an oily emollient. This oil-soluble ingredient dissolves in oils. It creates a hydrating film on the surface of the skin to prevent the skin from dehydration. You can meet it in sunscreens as a solvent. <b>Butyloctyl Salicylate</b> is a solvent commonly used in sunscreens. It doesn't only stabilize some sunscreen agents, it also boosts SPF protection. <b>Glycerin</b> or Glycerol is a humectant. Its origin can be natural or synthetic - depending on the product. It protects TEWL (transepidermal water loss) and naturally occurs in the skin. It's one of the NMFs - natural moisturizing factors. It's practical in hair care. Glycerin won't clog your skin or irritate it just the opposite - it protects your skin from irritation. <b>Propanediol</b> is also known as natural glycol - an alternative to propylene glycol. Propanediol is a solvent with additional moisturizing properties. It makes the product smooth to the touch. It can even improve the effectiveness of active ingredients. <b>Ethylhexyl Triazone </b>or Uvinul T 150 is a sun-protecting agent. It covers the UVB range (280-320nm). Its peak is at 314 nm. <b>Terephthalylidene</b> <b>Dicamphor Sulfonic Acid </b>is a long name, that's why you probably know this ingredient as Mexoryl SX or ecamsule. <b>Mexoryl SX</b> was patented in 1982 by L'oreal so when we talk about other brands we stick to the name Ecamsule. This sunscreen protects your skin from UVA radiation (315–400 nm) and it has its peak at 345nm. It's a chemical sunscreen with high stability. <b>Polyglyceryl-3 Distearate</b> is an emulsifier. <b>Niacinamide</b> is a form of vitamin B3 - a vitamin soluble in water. It helps with problems like wrinkles, acne, skin texture, and enlarged pores and promotes collagen synthesis. Niacinamide makes the skin barrier stronger. It might be handy in cellulite treatments. Do you want to fight pigmentation or uneven skin? Try to mix niacinamide with Kojic Acid, Arbutin, Vitamin C, Tranexamic Acid or Retinol.<b> Butylene Glycol </b>is a common ingredient in products. It's not only a solvent. We use butylene glycol because it helps with the penetration of active ingredients, protects products from drying and moisturizes skin and hair. This ingredient can prevent hair loss and make your hair stronger. <b>1,2-Hexanediol</b> is a synthetic solvent and preservative - it protects products from microorganisms by boosting other preservatives. At the same time, it can moisturize the skin, and it has no unpleasant effects on your epidermis. <b>Tromethamine</b> is a synthetic pH adjuster. <b>Pentylene Glycol</b> is mostly a solvent and stabilizer, but it has great moisturizing properties. <b>Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate</b> or Uvinul A Plus is a sun-protecting agent. It covers the UVA range (320-400 nm), and its peak of protection is 354 nm. <b>Polysilicone-15</b> might sound like a normal ingredient, but the other name of this ingredient is Parsol SLX. You're right! It's a sun-protecting ingredient. It protects your skin from UVB radiation (290-320 nm) and its peak is around 310 nm. It makes a great pair with Avobenzone. It's quite common in hair care products. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Sodium Hyaluronate </b>or sodium salt of hyaluronic acid. It's a form of hyaluronic acid and naturally occurs in the skin. Sodium Hyaluronate has strong water-binding properties. Sodium hyaluronate combined with elastin and collagen is like a scaffolding for the skin. It has hydrating properties and leaves a hydrating film on the skin, but sodium hyaluronate prevents skincare products from drying. <b>Echium Plantagineum Seed Oil </b>is an emollient that creates a delicate film on the surface of the skin. It can help minimise negative UV effects on the skin and hair. <b>Glyceryl Stearate</b> is an emollient with emulsifying properties. <b>Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine</b> is quite a hard name to remember, that's why you can find people talking about this ingredient by calling it Tinosorb S. It's one of the newer types of sunscreen agents and one of the strongest ones. It's a chemical sunscreen that protects skin from UVA (315-400 nm) & UVB (280-315 nm), and its peak is high. It's a stable sunscreen that works with other sun-protecting substances to protect their early photodegradation. <b>Cetearyl Alcohol </b>is a fatty alcohol. In the beauty industry, it's an emollient. Many people associate alcohol with something awful for the epidermis, but not every alcohol is nasty. Cetearyl alcohol leaves a moisturizing film on the skin to prevent your skin from transepidermal water loss (TEWL). We use Cetearyl alcohol to create an emulsion. <b>Octyldodecanol</b> is an emollient and fatty alcohol. It's also a solvent. <b>Panthenol</b> is a humectant. It prevents skin from TEWL (Transepidermal Water Loss). Panthenol is also known as vitamin B5, and it helps with inflammation. Panthenol can soothe the skin irritated by preservatives, scent ingredients, and chemical sunscreens - it might have a meaning for lipids in our skin and skin barrier. It speeds up the healing process. It's good to use it after sunbathing. In hair care, Panthenol has moisturizing properties. If you have problems detangling your hair or hair growth go for Panthenol. It is good to mix it with niacinamide and zinc oxide. You can see it in products for atopic dermatitis or psoriasis. Carbomer is a synthetic thickener. <b>Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer</b> is a polymer with thickening properties. <b>Glyceryl Stearate Citrate</b> is a water-in-oil emulsifier. <b>Inulin Lauryl Carbamate</b> is an emulsifier. <b>Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer</b> is a synthetic polymer and quite a large molecule. It works as a thickener and emulsion stabiliser. <b>Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate</b> is an oil-in-water emulsifier. <b>Ethylhexylglycerin</b> is a preservative with subtle moisturizing and antimicrobial properties. <b>Adenosine</b> naturally occurs in the skin. One of the adenosine's roles in our bodies is being a neurotransmitter. In skin care, we use adenosine for its anti-wrinkle properties. Adenosine is an anti-inflammatory ingredient. It can boost collagen production. At the same time, it speeds up the healing process. Adenosine can have positive effects on reducing redness. In hair care, adenosine can help with hair loss. <b>Methylpropanediol</b> is a solvent with antimicrobial properties. <b>Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil Unsaponifiables </b>is an emollient. It's rich in linoleic acid and tocopherol. It helps with the dryness of the skin. Polyether-1 is a thickener. <b>Tocopherol</b> is an antioxidant known as Vitamin E. It's an oil-soluble vitamin that fights free radicals and makes UVB protection and natural lipid barrier stronger. It's good to mix it with vitamin C for better effects. Oily skin might react with pore-clogging to vitamin E. It is not true that vitamin E works as a preservative or helps with scars. <b>Biosaccharide</b> <b>Gum-1</b> is a product of sorbitol fermentation. It's a polysaccharide - nothing else than sugar, and sugar in skincare usually has moisturizing properties. Biosaccharide Gum-1 has also calming and soothing properties. You might want to use it with hyaluronic acid for longer and stronger hydration. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/6sZnstX.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-Fit Sunscreen and Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-fit Daily Moisturizer" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="640" src="https://i.imgur.com/6sZnstX.jpg" title="Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-Fit Sunscreen and Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-fit Daily Moisturizer" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">How does Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-Fit Sunscreen work?</span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">There's a reason why Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-Fit Sunscreen is before Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-Fit Sunscreen. Somehow Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-Fit Sunscreen is more suitable for my skin or maybe I should form this sentence bit differently. I find 2-in-1 moisturizers not as good for me as regular sunscreens even if both products have it's advantages and disadvantages. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-Fit Sunscreen is promoted by Jumiso as a sunscreen for everyone, everywhere. I live in a quite humid place, but I tested Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-Fit Sunscreen in a dryer climate too. Every time I travel away from the sea I can feel the huge difference when it comes to my skin and skincare - the products don't act the same and somehow places with lower humidity makes me choose my moisturizing products as well as using more lipcare products than normally. Back to Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-Fit Sunscreen, the lightweight formula with no white cast and no piling is something I love. Even if in a dry climate this sunscreen felt a bit more sticky when applied on hand, it wasn't enough for me to tell stop. It works perfectly with Clio Founwear Cushion, it's hydrating - my skin doesn't get dry after the entire day. I feel like it works a bit as a primer/base for makeup. It has this satin-like finish that gives the skin a natural glow. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">It's easy to apply the product to the skin, it doesn't leave any smudges, and it feels invisible on the skin. It gets absorbed by skin so quickly, you can just apply the layer of sunscreen and you don't have to wait with makeup. You have to remember to apply the right amount of the product and reapplication every 2-3 hours. Jumiso recommends using this sunscreen with Vitamin C. I didn't have any of Jumiso Vitamin C serums to use it with this sunscreen, but it works well with Isntree Vitamin C serum from this post. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">The biggest advantage of this product is the lack of scent, if you're sensitive to the scent - go for this sunscreen. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-fit Daily Moisturizer - Packaging </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-Fit Sunscreen comes in a paper box. The tube is made out of plastic and the brand informs you how to recycle the product. Same to Awe-Sun Airy-Fit Sunscreen, Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-fit Daily Moisturizer has a special place to write down the date of opening the product. This cream has a bit different bottle to Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-fit Daily Moisturizer, the bottle is smaller and wider. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-fit Daily Moisturizer - Texture </span> </h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">The texture of Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-fit Daily Moisturizer is more watery than Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-Fit Sunscreen. It's also more moisturizing. It's a lightweight cream, it might look white but once you start applying it to your skin, you won't see any smudge or white tint. Since Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-Fit Sunscreen is based on Tinosorb sunscreen, it might leave a delicate tint on warmer or darker skin, that's why if you have warm-toned skin or darker skin tone, I recommend checking reviews from other creators too - just to see how this texture acts on other skin tones. One pro tip - shake it before you use it, I'm not sure if it's just my problem or a common issue but sometimes the water layer of this product likes to separate from the formula. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-fit Daily Moisturizer - Scent </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">The good information is that Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-fit Daily Moisturizer is unscented.

Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-fit Daily Moisturizer with Sunscreen - Ingredients</span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Water, Bambusa Arundinacea Stem Extract, Dibutyl Adipate, Propanediol, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Polymethylsilsesquioxane, Ethylhexyl Triazone, Niacinamide, Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol, Coco-Caprylate/Caprate, 1,2-Hexanediol, Caprylyl Methicone, Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Pentylene Glycol, Behenyl Alcohol, Poly C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate, Polyglyceryl-3 Methylglucose Distearate, Decyl Glucoside, Tromethamine, Carbomer, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate, Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6, Ethylhexylglycerin, Adenosine, Xanthan Gum, t-Butyl Alcohol, Tocopherol </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Water</b> hides in cosmetic products under names such as Aqua or Eau. It's a solvent, but it's not your regular drinking water. Water in skin care needs to fit some standards. It should be clean and free from minerals, microorganisms or other substances. Usually, water makes up the majority of the content of the product. <b>Bambusa Arundinacea (Bamboo) Stem Extract </b>is an exfoliant but it can also absorb sebum. It has some antibacterial and whitening properties. It contains high amounts of silica. <b>Dibutyl Adipate</b> is an oily emollient. This oil-soluble ingredient dissolves in oils. It creates a hydrating film on the surface of the skin to prevent the skin from dehydration. You can meet it in sunscreens as a solvent. Propanediol is also known as natural glycol - an alternative to propylene glycol. <b>Propanediol</b> is a solvent with additional moisturizing properties. It makes the product smooth to the touch. It can even improve the effectiveness of active ingredients.<b> Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate</b> or Uvinul A Plus is a sun-protecting agent. It covers the UVA range (320-400 nm), and its peak of protection is 354 nm. <b>Polymethylsilsesquioxane</b> is a silicone that protects your skin from dehydration by creating a film on the surface of the skin. Silicones have a positive meaning to your skin - they make products easier to spread, make the formula more elegant and even protect skin and hair.<b> Ethylhexyl Triazone</b> or Uvinul T 150 is a sun-protecting agent. It covers the UVB range (280-320nm). Its peak is at 314 nm. <b>Niacinamide</b> is a form of vitamin B3 - a vitamin soluble in water. It helps with problems like wrinkles, acne, skin texture, and enlarged pores and promotes collagen synthesis. Niacinamide makes the skin barrier stronger. It might be handy in cellulite treatments. Do you want to fight pigmentation or uneven skin? Try to mix niacinamide with Kojic Acid, Arbutin, Vitamin C, Tranexamic Acid or Retinol. <b>Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol</b> sounds a bit like a magic spell. You might know it as a Tinosorb M - a new generation of sun-protecting agents. Tinosorb M is a broad-spectrum filter since it covers UVA and UVB wavelengths (280-400nm). It's a so-called hybrid sunscreen agent because it's between mineral and chemical sunscreen agents. It might leave some white cast.<b> Coco-Caprylate/Caprate</b> is an oily emollient derived from coconut. Some people call this amazing emollient, a "natural silicone". It leaves a silky, moisturizing film on the surface of the skin. <b>1,2-Hexanediol </b>is a synthetic solvent and preservative - it protects products from microorganisms by boosting other preservatives. At the same time, it can moisturize the skin, and it has no unpleasant effects on your epidermis. <b>Caprylyl Methicone </b>is an alkylmethyl silicone and emollient. It has a waxy texture, and it makes the product easier to apply. It works great with natural ingredients and pigment. It's a volatile silicone so you don't have to worry - it disappeared almost right after application. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone</b> is another hard name, but you can also call it Uvasorb HEB. It protects the skin from UVB and UVA II radiation ( it doesn't cover UVA I wavelength range). It's a photostable ingredient used in water-resistant formulas. <b>Glycerin</b> or Glycerol is a humectant. Its origin can be natural or synthetic - depending on the product. It protects TEWL (transepidermal water loss) and naturally occurs in the skin. It's one of the NMFs - natural moisturizing factors. It's practical in hair care. Glycerin won't clog your skin or irritate it just the opposite - it protects your skin from irritation. <b>Butylene Glycol </b>is a common ingredient in products. It's not only a solvent. We use butylene glycol because it helps with the penetration of active ingredients, protects products from drying and moisturizes skin and hair. This ingredient can prevent hair loss and make your hair stronger. <b>Pentylene Glycol</b> is mostly a solvent and stabilizer, but it has great moisturizing properties. <b>Behenyl Alcohol</b> might sound scary, but it's a fatty alcohol. This type of alcohol is positive for the skin since it works as an emollient. It helps with the texture of the product.<b> Polyglyceryl-3 Methylglucose Distearate</b> is an oil-in-water emulsifier, suitable for vegans. Decyl Glucoside is a non-ionic surfactant that works as an emulsifier and thickener. <b>Tromethamine</b> is a synthetic pH adjuster. <b>Carbomer</b> is a synthetic thickener. <b>Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer</b> is a synthetic polymer and quite a large molecule. It works as a thickener and emulsion stabiliser. <b>Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate </b>is an oil-in-water emulsifier. <b>Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6</b> is a thickener, it helps create elegant, non-sticky formulas. <b>Ethylhexylglycerin</b> is a preservative with subtle moisturizing and antimicrobial properties. <b>Adenosine</b> naturally occurs in the skin. One of the adenosine's roles in our bodies is being a neurotransmitter. In skin care, we use adenosine for its anti-wrinkle properties. Adenosine is an anti-inflammatory ingredient. It can boost collagen production. At the same time, it speeds up the healing process. Adenosine can have positive effects on reducing redness. In hair care, adenosine can help with hair loss. <b>Xanthan Gum</b> is a polysaccharide that works as a thickener. <b>t-Butyl Alcohol</b> is a solvent with a scent similar to camphor. It's common in perfumes. <b>Tocopherol</b> is an antioxidant known as Vitamin E. It's an oil-soluble vitamin that fights free radicals and makes UVB protection and natural lipid barrier stronger. It's good to mix it with vitamin C for better effects. Oily skin might react with pore-clogging to vitamin E. It is not true that vitamin E works as a preservative or helps with scars. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
How does Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-fit Daily Moisturizer work? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I'm not a fan of a 2-in-1 product, but that's what Jumiso released under the name Awe-Sun Airy-fit Daily Moisturizer. It's a sunscreen and moisturizer in one. It is more watery than Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-Fit Sunscreen. Similar, to sunscreen it leaves no white cast and it's easily absorbed by the skin. It has no scent so many people will find it super comfortable. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">The main idea behind this product was to simplify the routine. I don't know how about you, but I'm used to that 2-in-1 or 3-in-1 products are usually flops. They don't usually work well, so Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-fit Daily Moisturizer is a big surprise since as much as I can test it, it works great and it has this additional layer of moisture. It goes well with makeup - it doesn't pile. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I got one problem with this texture - it likes to separate so it's good to shake it before you apply it, another way you'll get thick cream and a watery layer separated on your hand, and you'll have to mix it. It doesn't look super aesthetic. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
What's the difference between Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-Fit Sunscreen and Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-fit Daily Moisturizer? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-Fit Sunscreen is a pure sunscreen, while Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-fit Daily Moisturizer is a moisturizer with high SPF values. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">

Meet Klairs Fundamental Eye Awakening Gel<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/z3P7Tr5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Klairs Fundamental Eye Awakening Gel" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="640" src="https://i.imgur.com/z3P7Tr5.jpg" title="Klairs Fundamental Eye Awakening Gel" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Do you use eye cream? I do! The skin around the eyes is sensitive, but during summer my eyes can get a bit puffy. How to deal with them? Klairs released its Klairs Fundamental Eye Awakening Gel some time ago, but thanks to Wishtrend I finally had a chance to test it. Is this eye cream your next favourite eye cream? </div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">About the brand Klairs </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Klairs is a K-beauty brand and one of the first South Korean brands I've ever tried. The motto of the company is 'simple but enough'. Klairs is a part of Wishcompany, and its origins take us back to 2012 when Klairs officially became a part of Wishcompany. The name's meaning is a bit different from other brands. According to Klairs, the name Dear, Klairs comes from the fictional character Klair, a girl with sensitive skin, the name is like a letter to her. Even if the full name of a brand is Dear, Klairs we stick to using Klairs and honestly, I barely ever see anyone using the full name of a company. Klairs notice how changing, and challenging the cosmetic market can be that's why they decided to focus on quality over quantity. 'Simple but enough' means that the brand won't create many products, instead, they focus on simple solutions. The brand doesn't only listen to customers, and their ideas, but Klairs' focus on the environment is a part of the brand's mission. All skin types can use Klairs products. The brand is cruelty-free and vegetarian-friendly, and the majority of products are vegan-friendly. You won't find here parabens, artificial colourants and scents. I don't think parabens are evil, but some people prefer to avoid them. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/bzLt0os.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Klairs Fundamental Eye Awakening Gel" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="640" src="https://i.imgur.com/bzLt0os.jpg" title="Klairs Fundamental Eye Awakening Gel" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Klairs Fundamental Eye Awakening Gel - Packaging </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I'm not sure if there's much to say about the packaging, because lately Klairs has changed the packaging to tube. The old packaging has a very minimalistic vibe, the bottle is made out of plastic, but it has a good pump. The new version comes in a tube. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Klairs Fundamental Eye Awakening Gel - Texture & Scent </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">It's a lightweight gel with no artificial scent. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Klairs Fundamental Eye Awakening Gel - Ingredients </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote>Water, Glycerin, 1,2-Hexanediol, Butylene Glycol, Propanediol, Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Tocopherol, Caffeine, Phaseolus Angularis Seed Extract, Artemisia Princeps Leaf Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Chaenomeles Sinensis Fruit Extract, Chrysanthellum Indicum Extract, Cinnamomum Cassia Bark Extract, Diospyros Kaki Leaf Extract, Perilla Frutescens Extract, Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Copper Tripeptide-1, Oligopeptide-29, Oligopeptide-32, Carbomer, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, Sorbitan Isostearate, Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside, Sodium PCA, Tromethamine, Ethylhexylglycerin </blockquote></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Water</b> hides in cosmetic products under names such as Aqua or Eau.

Propanediol is a solvent with additional moisturizing properties. It makes the product smooth to the touch. It can even improve the effectiveness of active ingredients. <b>Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil </b>is sometimes called "the gold of Morocco", this oil is super popular in skincare. It's an oily emollient, full of oleic acid. It's not the best choice for acne-prone skin, but sensitive and mature skin types enjoy it a lot. It helps to revitalize the skin, that's why you might see it recommended for scars or stretch marks. Argan oil is a wonderful ingredient for hair - it hydrates and nourishes the hair. Even if Argan oil is popular, we should remember that it won't make miracles. <b>Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil</b> is an emollient and a source of vitamin E. The structure of jojoba oil is very similar to human sebum, that's why all skin types shouldn't be scared of this oil. It creates a delicate, non-oily film barrier on the surface of the skin. It helps to restore your hydrolipid barrier. Jojoba oil can be applied straight onto the skin. In hair care, jojoba oil makes hair stronger and hydrated. PS. Jojoba oil isn't an oil, but a waxy ester. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Tocopherol</b> is an antioxidant known as Vitamin E. It's an oil-soluble vitamin that fights free radicals and makes UVB protection and natural lipid barrier stronger. It's good to mix it with vitamin C for better effects. Oily skin might react with pore-clogging to vitamin E. It is not true that vitamin E works as a preservative or helps with scars. <b>Caffeine</b> is an antioxidant with a positive meaning for your skin and body. It stimulates blood circulation, it can reduce redness, dark circles and puffy eyes. It's one of the first ingredients I would use to fight cellulite. In hair care, caffeine can boost hair growth, it's recommended for men who deal with androgenic alopecia. <b>Phaseolus Angularis Seed Extract </b>or Adzuki Bean Seed Extract is a source of stigmasterol and oleanolic acid.

Lots of brands and media did a great job marketing this substance. That's why you can spot it with names such as Botox-like peptides or treatments. It won't give you the same effects as Botox, but there are some similarities. Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 can help with wrinkles by decreasing the visibility of wrinkles and fine lines created by repetitive movements of muscles. Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 inhibits SNARE complex and catecholamine release. It can stimulate collagen synthesis, and it has powerful, water-binding properties. That's why acetyl hexapeptide-8 might increase the moisture of the skin. It's better to use this peptide near the eye area to prevent fine lines in the eye area. Unless you have drooping eyelids, then the use of acetyl hexapeptide-8 is not recommended for you. If you have muscle problems, it's better to consult with your doctor or PT first, before adding acetyl hexapeptide-8 to your routine. Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 can hide under the name Argireline or Acetyl Hexapeptide-3. <b>Copper Tripeptide-1</b> is a peptide created with three amino acids: glycine, histidine and lysine + copper.

How does Klairs Fundamental Eye Awakening Gel work? </span></h3><div><div style="text-align: justify;">I'm not even telling you how late I am with my reviews (and not only that). I'm so late that Klairs already redesigned this Fundamental Eye Awakening Gel, but I can justify that - I work more than full time and over a week ago I had my bachelor thesis defense so officially I'm a cosmetologist (not only an esthetician). Back to the cream. The texture is ideal for summer since it's a lightweight gel, and I'm not sure how about you, but my puffy eyes are caused by allergies. You can ask my friend how taking photos in the rose garden goes, usually after a few minutes I start to have allergic reactions to pollen. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">The mix of Caffeine, peptides and plant extract selected for this formula is fantastic - I wouldn't say it's impressive in fighting wrinkles since I know formulas that target this issue better, but if you're in your 20s or 30s and your eye area is sensitive just like mine - you should enjoy it. It boosts microcirculation so the puffiness should get reduced (depending on the cause of puffiness, if puffy eyes are genetic in your family then instead of moisturizer I would think about more advanced treatments than creams). </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Pro tip if it comes to Klairs Fundamental Eye Awakening Gel? Just store it in a fridge, the mix of cold and gel texture is the best to depuff your eyes. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">It's a good cream which I can recommend, but does it beat my favourite eye cream? I do not plan to change my favourite eye cream, but if you're in your 20s or you deal with puffiness then this one is a great choice for you. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">
