Hello everyone! It’s been a long while since I have updated this blog and I just miss writing out my thoughts again so here I am with a skincare haul and Korean skincare review. I have recently ordered stuff from stylekorean.jp last month and my parcel came a little late because of this Corona Virus situation and it was a week-long holiday in Japan. I ordered my stuff April 28th and I received them on the 15th of May. Nevertheless, it was a very smooth transaction and they packed each products individually with bubble wrap to ensure that no product gets damaged while shipping since all their products are from Korea. I think it is also why their products are way way cheaper compared to other shops here in Japan. To think that it was just an online store that I stumbled upon on Instagram, I never thought that I’d get this excited to order bunch of other stuff again because of how cheap and good their customer service is.
Wow, that was a long intro. Just to let you know, I was not sponsored and all the stuff you will see here are stuff that I bought from my my own pocket so expect the reviews to be real 😉
First product is CURE Intensive 2X Cream. It is a type of Aloe gel perfect for dry skin. The scent is very fresh with a hint of alcohol. I have been using this cream for my nighttime skincare routine since I find the cream a little bit on the thick side. I put it on my nose, chin and the area around my mouth because that is where I tend to really get dry. I still notice a bit of dryness in the morning when I wake up but it has lessened a little.
Since I have read somewhere that products with Aloe should be placed in a cool area so that you will feel refreshed after putting it on your skin, my dumbass went and stored it inside the fridge the whole day and the next night, by the time I use it, it had solidified into a candle-like texture and I just can’t scoop it out. Also, this product doesn't come with a spatula so if you are planning to buy this, have
a spare of mini-spatula around or if you’re okay with just using your finger, I recommend washing your hand well before doing your skincare.
Overall, think this is a good product perfect for people with dry skin like me. The change in my skin was not that drastic but it did help with my dry spots and the red areas around my nose and mouth. I tend to use this as the last step on my skincare routine because of its thick consistency. I think other products doesn’t penetrate well on my skin anymore if I use it after this cream - it’s that thick. Also, please do not do the same mistake that I did in putting this jar inside the fridge, lol. Just keep it in a room temperature away from direct sunlight.
If you are looking for a very viscous moisturizer with a cooling effect, definitely try this one out! I bought it on sale for ¥890 from the original price of ¥4500! At first I was in doubt on why this product became very cheap so I mentally prepared myself that maybe this product is nearing its expiration date but boy was I wrong! The expiration date is still 2 years from now so I’m pretty sure I’d just be left with the glass bottle of this product by then.
So considering the price of this product, I think it was a pretty good deal. However, if it wasn’t on sale, I think this product is too expensive for its price considering that I have tried other low-end moisturizers and was amazed by the results. All in all, I think this is a great product for people with dry skin (but def consult your doctor first before using this product or apply it on the back of your ear first to check if your skin is sensitive to the ingredients on this product).
Rating is: 6/10
