[ Review ] Barr Super Balance Brightening Ampoule

 

Product Description

Barr Super Balance Brightening Ampoule is a brightening ampoule with 81% Green Tea Water, 2% Niacinamide (vitamin B3) and 1% Moist-7 Complex ( 7 Molecular Hyaluronic Acid ) to brighten dull complexion and maintain a clear skin tone. 

This is my last Barr product after emptying Barr Super Green Deep Energy Ampoule, Barr Super Green Deep Energy Cream, Barr Centella Calming Gel Essence and Barr Centella Calming Barrier Cream. They are gentle products, perfect for sensitive and reactive skin.  

I enjoyed checking out brightening products or Vitamin C serums to combat my dull skin. Mediphyt Potent C-15 Serum, 100% Pure Vitamin C Serum,  Jumiso All Day Vitamin Brightening & Balancing Facial Serum and Jumiso All Day Vitamin Pure C 5.5 Glow Serum worked great for me. 

Packaging, Scent and Texture

Barr Super Balance Brightening Ampoule is housed in a 30ml dropper bottle with lightweight milky contents and no scent. It has a subtle tackiness after application.

Packed with 64% Centella Asiatica and 1% Panthenol to soothe and deeply hydrate skin, this lightweight cream also contains 1% Squalane to prevent moisture loss and 1% Jojoba Seed Oil to help control excess sebum secretion for healthier and calmer skin.

If you have very sensitive skin, you can check out Barr's skincare line where the products are gentle, calming and soothing. If you need a heavier cream to seal up all the goodness, Barr Centella Calming Barrier Cream would be your choice. Lets delve down....

Barr Centella Calming Gel Essence

Packaging, Scent and Texture

Barr Centella Calming Barrier Cream is housed in a 80ml white plastic tube with a flick top cap. As the name implies, the cream is thick ( being a barrier cream ) but not as thick as other barrier creams in the market. It has a smooth consistency, with a hint of tackiness and no scent. Just a pea sized amount would do, so a tube will last for quite a long while.

Product Description

Barr Centella Calming Gel Essence is a slightly acidic gel essence designed to calm and soothe sensitive skin with 85% Centella Asiatica. This formula is supported with 0.3% Panthenol which is a pro-vitamin of Vitamin B5 to offer deep hydration while aiding in smoothing skin texture, leaving it soft and supple. Cruelty-free and vegan formula.

This is my 3rd product from the brand after emptying Barr Super Green Deep Energy Ampoule and Barr Super Green Deep Energy Cream. The ampoule didn't do much for me but the energy cream is one of my Top 22 Empties I Loved in 2022!

Packaging, Scent and Texture

Barr Centella Calming Gel Essence comes in a sturdy 60ml plastic bottle with a treatment pump dispenser that is handy, portable and fuss-free. I love how easy it is for me just to lightly press on the dispenser twice for the amount I required for my face.

I won a set of Barr Cosmetics products on Instagram and Super Green Deep Energy Cream is the first product that I reached out for. I love gentle products and their products speak volumes to me. 

Hailing from Korea, Barr is more than a cruelty-free vegan skin care brand that promotes sustainability. Co-founders Celeste and Joey Jo consider it a minimalist lifestyle project to declutter and live stress-free. 

Barr fosters a culture of simple and practical skin care, incorporating only the best and most essential ingredients. The brand is known for its Centella Calming line featuring the Ampoule Toner, Gel Essence and Barrier Cream.

Packaging, Scent and Texture

Barr Cosmetics Super Green Deep Energy Cream comes in a 60ml tube that dispenses the light green coloured cream effortlessly. It has no fragrance and the gel-cream texture has a soothing and cooling sensation. 

How To Use : 

Apply a suitable amount evenly over the face and pat lightly for better absorption.

Performance and Ingredients

Barr Cosmetics Super Green Deep Energy Cream is a lovely light gel-cream texture that absorbs quickly, leaving a soothing sensation with a subtle tackiness on the skin. Surprisingly, it stung slightly on the dehydrated area on my nostrils on the first 3 days of use but thankfully, there was no such issue thereafter. 

I wasn't expecting to like this product, but I did, in the end. More suitable for oily, combination and sensitive skin, this lightweight moisturiser is perfect for my skin in humid weather like Singapore, as it left my skin soft, hydrated and plumped with a subtle shine. 

It layers well with other products and I emptied the 60ml tube in 1.5 months.

0.1% Panthenol : Helps form a moisture barrier to protect the skin from moisture loss.
