I always have several Korea skincare samples lying around in my stash, either from my own purchases or from lovely friends of mine visiting Korea or even my sister who is a faithful lover of using the same old products all the time.
To be honest, I love shopping in Korea for their affordable beauty products, I love their food and I am a big fan of Korea dramas but most of their affordable range of skincare products just does not suit my skin type that well, except for their masks and BB creams. However, I have to say that I haven't had a chance to try their higher-end range of products like Sulwhasoo, Ohui, The History of Whoo, etc so I am not giving up on Korea skincare yet. Ha.
I started off with the white cream (light) first. Its smells nice and the texture is less heavy than a normal moisturiser and its not sticky. I guess the word "light" sounds appropriate. The light cream sinks in well into my skin but I can hardly feel any hydration to the skin. My skin feels rough and dry.
However the next morning, it caused me a small breakout on the left cheek near the ears. ( I applied it as a day moisturiser ). Out of sight, out of mind. Since I cannot see it, I had forgotten about applying my pimple cream. But thank goodness, it did subside, smaller by each day. I was thankful. It disappeared by its own within 3 days.
So I applied the serum followed by the light cream after 3 days of rest inbetween just to check on the hydration factor.
The serum smells nice, light and is non-greasy as its pretty fluid. I quite like the texture. However, even with the serum and light cream, my skin still has a lack of hydration to the skin. It just feels parched. So the serum does not really help. Not at all.
And within hours, I got a major breakout on the chin. Painful, big and red. Even after 5 days, it only subsided by alittle. Sigh.
Considering that this product line claim to hydrate intensively, its quite a major disappointment for me as I could feel no hydration to my skin at all.

Um you're supposed to use it together. That's the point of a skincare "line". Using something by itself is a bit silly as you're expecting hydration from that
Hi, thanks for your interest. There are 2 schools of thoughts in that, one prefer to use the whole skincare line and the other prefer to use different products from different brands that fit their skincare needs. ie. a serum that works well for my skin, may not represent that the foaming cleanser from the same line may works well, especially for those with sensitive skin.
Serum is the most concentrated product in each skincare line, hence the higher price factor and higher expectation from it. An addition of a moisturiser on top of the serum should upped the hydration factor logically. Using a cleanser prior to the serum should not change the hydration level in the skin drastically because it does not stay on the skin, but wash and go.
