[ Review ] Tocobo Collagen Brightening Eye Gel Cream

 

Product Description

Reverse signs of aging around the eye area with Tocobo Collagen Brightening Eye Gel Cream enriched with 81% lavender flower water. It’s infused with retinol and 1,000ppm of plant-based collagen to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, as well as 1,000ppm of panthenol to replenish moisture in skin.

Thanks to a Stylekorean collaboration which has given me a chance to try out another Tocobo product, after emptying Tocobo Bio Watery Sun Cream SPF50+ PA++++ and Tocobo Cotton Soft Sun Stick. 

I don't have much luck with eye creams in general but I will still continue to use them, as my undereye area really do deserve some tender loving care. 

Packaging, Scent and Texture

Tocobo Collagen Brightening Eye Gel Cream is packaged in a charming pink and purple clear tube with 30ml contents that can be dispensed easily via the solid nozzle dispenser. It has one of the lightest texture I have ever tried, with a strong lavender fragrance and a hint of tackiness as well as some sparkles in it. 

[ Review ] Tocobo Cotton Soft Sun Stick SPF 50+ PA++++

 

Product Description

Tocobo Cotton Soft Sun Stick uses a unique micro-powder formula to absorb excess oil while providing a thin, transparent layer of powerful UV protection. Contains cotton extract for a soft, non-sticky finish, and reliable & stable UV A/B protection with SPF 50+ PA++++. Inclusion of Herb AC Complex, a 4 herbal complexes with excellent anti-inflammatory effects that soothe the skin.

Benefits :

- Smooth skin resulted from sebum control

- Safe usage as strong UV protection rating

- Stick formulation that spreads easily on the skin

I received Tocobo Cotton Soft Sun Stick together with Tocobo Bio Watery Sun Cream SPF50+ PA++++, Mary & May Cica Soothing Sun Cream, Benton Skin Fit Mineral Sun Cream SPF 50+ PA++++ and Benton Air Fit UV Defense Sun Cream as part of a Stylekorean collaboration last year. 

In today's world, sun protection isn't just a luxury; it's a necessity. With the increasing awareness of the harmful effects of UV radiation, finding a reliable sunscreen has become paramount. Among the multitude of options available, sun sticks have gained popularity for their convenience and mess-free application.

This Cotton Soft Sun Stick was my top choice among all the sunscreens in the collaboration but took me the longest time to empty it, as it was used as the last step of my skincare routine for an additional layer of sun protection but I wasn't consistent with it. 

This year, I used it as a base instead, where I applied it as the first step before my usual sunscreen and it fitted my skincare routine so well that I was almost sad I am emptying it so soon. This was my second sun stick after Acwell Dermild Airy Sun Control Stick SPF 50PA++++.

Tocobo Bio Watery Sun Cream SPF50+ PA++++ was one of the sunscreens I received as part of a Stylekorean collaboration last year. It is touted as a moisturizing and quick-absorbing serum that is like basic skin care with EWG green grade ingredients and contains green bean extracts for antioxidant benefits. 

It has been tested to contain SPF 51.1 (+/- 3.5 ) so that consumers can be rest assured that it does contains a minimum of SPF50.

Bestsellers include the Bio Watery Sun Cream SPF50 PA++++, a sunscreen and serum hybrid that offers soothing effects on top of sun protection, and the Cotton Soft Sun Stick SPF50 PA++++ that protects and moisturizes skin. 

Packaging, Scent and Texture 

Tocobo Bio Watery Sun Cream SPF50+ PA++++ is housed in a 50ml slim portable plastic bottle that is easy to hold and dispense. The sweet baby blue colour bottle is a bonus point. 

It has a strong floral fragrance which I am not a fan of. The lightweight lotion texture with a cooling sensation glides and absorbed well on skin. 

How To Use :

1) At the last step of your skin care routine, apply needed amount and gently pat until full absorbed. 

2) Apply onto neck, arms, legs, and any other areas that might be exposed to the sun.

Performance and Ingredients

Tocobo Bio Watery Sun Cream is a moisturizing sunscreen with low allergens and contains mung bean extract and bio hyaluronic acid that gives deep hydration and provides a refreshing sensation.

Also known as a reef-safe sunscreen, it avoids Oxybenzone and Octinosate in its list of ingredients as they have been said to be harmful for marine ecosystem and coral reefs. 

The sunscreen has a lovely lightweight lotion texture that left skin soft and smooth with a velvety finishing without the tackiness but has a greasy sheen that thankfully can be mattified under makeup. It has no white cast, being a chemical sunscreen and is non-drying. It stings occasionally and on dehydrated areas though. 

Tocobo Bio Watery Sun Cream has an SPF of 50 PA++++ and helps to protect against UVA and UVB rays. SPF 50 sunscreens protect you from 98 percent of UVB "burning" rays that penetrate your skin, while PA++++ sunscreens provide extremely high UVA protection.

The 5 sunscreen filters are...

Terephthalylidene Dicamphor Sulfonic Acid : A  L'Oréal-group exclusive sunscreen agent commonly called Mexoryl SX. As opposed to most sunscreen agents, it is water soluble.

Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate : A new generation, chemical sunscreen agent with high UVA protection and high photostability. Also known as Uvinul A Plus.

Polysilicone-15 : A chemical sunscreen agent with UVB protection. It also help to stabilize the famously unstable UVA filter, avobenzone and works especially well with Ensulizole to achieve high SPF protection. Also known as Parsol SLX. 

Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine : A broad-spectrum ( full UVA and UVB protection ) chemical sunscreen agent which is also known as Tinosorb S. Hardly deteriorates in the presence of UV.

Ethylhexyl Triazone : A new generation, chemical sunscreen that gives the highest photo-stable absorption of all available UVB filters today. Also known as Octyl Triazone and Uvinul T 150.

Conclusion

To conclude, Tocobo Bio Watery Sun Cream SPF50+ PA++++ has a lightweight lotion texture that left skin soft and smooth with a velvety finishing, however I am not a fan of its strong floral scent and the greasy sheen on my combination skin which thankfully can be mattified under makeup. Adding on, it stings occasionally and on dehydrated areas. 

Some of my recent favourite sunscreens are Cosrx Aloe Soothing Sun Cream SPF 50+ PA+++ and Face Republic Purity Sun Essence.
