This new brand, Tears was started by Kwon Sang Woo. As derived by Koreanthings,
'Tears’ is a natural and low-priced cosmetics. There are currently 48 series of more than 500 kinds of products. After the opening of the 1st store in Myeong Dong, it is planned to open the 2nd store at Daegu. In February next year, the 3rd store will be open in Busan and will enter into the duty free shops market.
I am delighted to say that I have my first dose of Tears products from a good friend of mine today. It was not quite what I expected because I have never use any neck masks or lip patches. Since I never really turned down any chances in trying new products, I gamely tried it today.
The neck patch is a sticky adhesive to be pasted directly on the neck. I found the floral scent to be quite overpowering to the point of almost choking. As it is supposed to adhere to the neck, I found it to be quite a constraint and uncomfortable. And because I was trying different ways of pasting on the neck by peeling it off and on, it may have loosen the grip on the neck, hence 50% of the flap was hanging in mid air after some time.
I did not quite like it to be on the neck as it restricts my movements and I found it difficult to breathe.
Since I only have 1 patch, its difficult for me to judge the effectiveness. I also did not had it on for a long time as I found it to be quite uncomfortable so its not fair to say that its not effective.
The lip patches are quite interesting, as there are 2 layers, one to be pasted on the upper lips and one on the chin area. It comes pasted on a plastic sheet of paper which looks almost cheapo, to my standard.
Its fits perfectly and are quite comfortable on the lips area.
I do not have any issues with my lip area in the first place so I cannot comment much on its effectiveness.
It also has a strong scent like the neck patch which I rather do without.
In conclusion, I may not get both items but I would continue to explore this brand. Hopefully, their masks would not have such strong scents.
