It's been too long again! I have so many reviews to write but not enough time to write them these days...I have purchased quite a lot of products from BEYOND lately so...sorry for the repetitiveness when it come to reviewing the brand. I promise next review is going to be on something else!
I keep seeing this word Phyto on a lot of skincare and haircare products and I really didn't know what it meant until I looked it up...Basically the name Phyto refers to Phytotherapy which uses extracts from natural origin that have health-promoting agents.
I am here to share a product that I started using 3 months ago and I really wanted to share my thoughts on it since there are not many reviews out there.
Description:
"As soon as it is applied, this whitening moisture cream creates a moisture barrier which protects skin from the external environment and moisture loss and brightens the skin tone.
This cream spreads without a sticky feeling while maintaining moisture with its rich texture. It is suitable for all skin types."
Packaging:
It comes in a glass jar that is quite heavy (be aware of this if you're ordering online that has shipping fees). It comes in two different sizes: the one in the picture is 55ml jar and it also comes in 110ml jar and the design for that has been designed by Lee Chan-Ho For Endangered Animal Care Collaboration. It comes with a small spatula to dispense the product in order to not spread bacteria into the cream from your hands.
Ingredients & Texture:
It containts Agave extract, which holds moisture and mineral-rich deep sea water that moisturizes and enhances skin elasticity. It's an hypo-allergenic moisture cream that retains moisture for a long time, It also whitening elements that brighten the skin tone but I wasn't able to check which these ingredients are. Unfortunately I can't go into anymore detail about the ingredients since the list is only in Korean...
It has a gel type texture that's not too heavy. It does take a while to sink into my skin though and can feel sticky for at least 5-10min on skin after application. It will sink into skin after this and make it feel really moisturised and supple.
Effectiveness:
I have noticed that my skin has that dewy glow that all the Koreans are raving about after I started using this moisturiser. I used to have a lot of redness on my cheeks because they were so dry but after I started using this the redness has diminished. I also used to have very uneven skin that had a lot of small bumps. These have also diminished significantly. In terms of "whitening" the skin which is a term that is used in a lot of Korean skincare products, it has made my skin tone brighter and less dull.
I do think that it can be a tad too heavy for my oily t-zone. The product does claim to be suitable for all skin types but I could not imagine people with very oily skin using it...Pros:
- Provides deep hydration
- Creates a barrier that protects from moisture loss
- Good for sensitive skin
- Natural ingredients
- Brightens skin tone
Cons:
- Can feel sticky when applied
- Possibly not suitable for all skin types (oily)
Conclusions:
Overall, this is one of the best moisturisers I have ever used for my skin. My previous favourite was Angel Aqua Moisture Cream from BEYOND but it got discontinued. I have to say that this is even better at retaining the moisture than Angel Aqua cream and comes with more ingredients that are beneficial for the skin. I am glad that they created this range even though it can be on the mid-range side price wise. It has done so many wonders to my extremely dry skin and it has that healthy glow now that I haven't had in a long time.
Get it from Cosmetic-Love for either the 55ml for 22GBP (approx. 29USD or 33,000KRW) or the 110ml for 35GBP (approx. 46USD or 52,700KRW).
