[ Review ] I'm From Mugwort Mask

 

Product Description

The I'm from Mugwort Mask is a wash off mask to calm and soothe the skin. Containing 2.1% of mugwort, full of vitamins and minerals, it quickly soothes irritation and redness while having a cooling and calming effect. The mild gel formulation contains mugwort powder to regulate the heat of the skin as soon as it touches the skin. As a Korean natural herb, the mugwort is widely known for treatments and detoxing effect. Apply a thick layer of the mask on areas with acne or inflammation. Find instant calming and healing of these skin troubles.

I have selected I'm From Mugwort Mask together with I'm From Ginseng Mask as my first collaboration with Wishtrend and can't wait to use them. 

This mask is highly recommended for troubled, irritated skin, agitated, exhausted skin and rough, red, uneven skin. Lets delve down to see if it truly lives up to its claims. 

[ Review ] I'm From Ginseng Mask

 

Product Description

I'm From Ginseng Mask is a wash-off mask enriched with Red Ginseng and Panax Ginseng Seed Oil to help achieve the ideal oil and water balance. Applies in a thick formula to remove dead skin cells and other impurities.

I have been intrigued with I'm From mask products ever since I visited Korea back in 2019 but I limit myself to buying I'm From Vitamin Tree Mask then. Definitely glad to be able to try out I'm From Ginseng Mask as my first collaboration with Wishtrend. 

Packaging, Scent and Texture

I'm From Ginseng Mask is housed in a clear glass jar with a minimalistic vibe. It has a thick sticky honey-like warm texture with an unique scent. A spatula is included for easy access to the contents.

[ Review ] RoC Multi Correxion Hydrate + Plump Eye Cream

Product Description

Experience a complete age-defying eye recovery with RoC Multi Correxion Hydrate + Plump Hyaluronic Acid Eye Cream. Visibly lift, smooth and awaken eyes.

Over time, your natural Hyaluronic Acid levels decline, causing the thin skin around the eyes to appear wrinkled and tired. RoC’s new clinically proven eye cream with Hyaluronic Acid replenishes the delicate eye area by delivering 3 age-defying results:

Lift: Peptides visibly firm and contour.

Smooth: 1.5% Hyaluronic Acid visibly fills fine lines.

Awaken: Caffeine helps to de-puff and deliver a more rejuvenated eye area with time.

Clinical Results

In 4 Weeks: Visibly lifts & firms the eye contour.

In 1 week: 100% had a visible reduction in crow's feet, 100% had visibly hydrated skin.

In 4 weeks: 85% saw a visible reduction in under-eye puffiness.

In 8 weeks: 88% saw visibly firmer-looking skin around the eyes, 85% had a visible reduction in dark circles.

I didn't have much success with eye gels/creams most of the time so when I chanced upon RoC Multi Correxion Hydrate + Plump Eye Cream on Iherb with plenty of positive reviews, it went right into my cart. 

Since 1957, RoC® ingenuity has brought true innovation to skincare. It began with the first-ever hypoallergenic skincare formulations, developed by Dr. Jean-Charles Lissarrague, a pharmacist at Pharmacie Rogé Cavaillès in Paris.

This was the first of multiple groundbreaking collaborations with dermatologists over the years, leading to the development of revolutionary products, ingredients and technologies. Dr. Lissarrague believed in innovative skincare solutions based on advanced science to help women defy their age and feel their absolute best, day after day.

[ Review ] Cosrx Aloe Soothing Sun Cream SPF 50+ PA+++

 

Product Description

Formulated with Aloe Arborescens Leaf Extract, Cosrx Aloe Soothing Sun Cream SPF 50+ PA+++ is so lightweight that it feels like a moisturizer, and does not leave any white cast. It blocks UVA and UVB rays but also moisturizes your dry skin. 

I purchased Cosrx Aloe Soothing Sun Cream SPF 50+ PA+++ after hearing much raves on Instagram. With new sunscreens being released on a monthly basis, we are now spoiled for choices. Sunscreen is a daily part of my life and I hope that its part of yours too. Its the #1 anti-aging product that anyone should incorporate in their skincare routine. 

Daily and consistent sunscreen use helps to prevent the development of fine lines and wrinkles, textural imperfections, and changes in the appearance of pores over time. More importantly, daily sunscreen use can help to prevent the formation of certain skin cancers.

COSRX is a K-Beauty Brand with 8 product lines including FULL FIT, PURE FIT, SHIELD FIT, REAL FIT, ONE STEP, HYDRIUM, BALANCIUM, AC COLLECTION, and has won many overseas and Korean awards including Amazon Best Seller in Facial Cleansing Gels, Amazon’s Choice, Get It Beauty 2020 View Label, 29 BEAUTY AWARD 2020, and many other awards in the beauty industry. You can read about the history on their website. 

I enjoyed using Cosrx Centella Water Alcohol-Free Toner previously and this sunscreen is my second product from the brand. I am definitely looking forward to trying more. 

Packaging, Scent and Texture

Cosrx Aloe Soothing Sun Cream SPF 50+ PA+++ is a 50ml plastic tube that has the exact illustration from box to tube. It has a lotion-like texture with a aloe fragrance and a subtle cooling sensation.

[ Review ] Manyo Galactomy Niacin 2.0 Essence

 

Product Description

Galactomy Niacin Essence in 93.69% consists of the Galactomyces ferment filtrate, upgraded to 4% Niacinamide, and Sodium Hyaluronate. These ingredients improves and helps restore the skin's vitality, evens skin tone, fights pigmentation of various kinds, moisturizes, soothes irritated skin, minimizes pore size, and prevents inflammation.

Manyo Galactomy Niacin 2.0 Essence was a Yesstyle influencer redemption and I was glad to have the chance to try it. Fermented ingredients tend to have a positive effect on my skin so I was optimistic about this product. My recent favourites were E Nature Rice Essential Tone-Starter and E Nature Bio-Zeup Sheet Mask.

Fermentation is a term we are all familiar with and in the skincare world, fermentation breaks down natural molecules and makes them smaller, so it’s easier for them to absorb deeper into your skin’s surface. 

In skincare, these smaller molecules become more potent and precise for optimal bioavailability, which allows ingredients to penetrate the skin deeper and absorb readily. With an increase in bioavailability and smaller molecule size, it is said that all the skincare ingredients used in fermented skincare and their benefits are significantly amplified. 

Made in Korea, skin care brand Manyo (an abbreviation of Manyo Factory) is widely beloved for their gentle yet ultra-effective formulas. The brand dubs itself the "sorceress of nature" because of their transformative formulas that harness time-tested, natural ingredients like heartleaf and cica.
