Skinfood Black Pomegranate Emulsion Sampler Review

   I have tried a couple of emulsions from my stash of samplers here. Most of them are for oily skin. Almost all Korean skin care brands offer emulsions for various skin concerns. Emulsions acts as a light moisturizer. Most are the 2nd or 3rd step for a Korean skin care routine (after toner usually). They are usually a borderline between watery and creamy in consistency. If a brand's skin care line offers a serum/ampoule, emulsions serves as 2nd step and is usually used during daytime because of its consistency. 

   I was recently given this emulsion sampler sachet from Skinfood last week. It came with a toner from its Black Pomegranate line as well but it was good for a single use that's why I cannot include so much about it here. All I can say about it was it deeply removed my makeup and skin dirt in one sweep unlike other toners I have tried. Anyway, let us focus on the emulsion instead. I decided to write a review about it before I throw the sachet away because I instantly fell in love with this particular product.

   This emulsion is used to make skin soft and plump according to the Skinfood website. This line consists of several products I cannot clearly remember. The normal packaging of this product is a red/black glass bottle with 150 ml of the product. It smells divine. The product itself is milky white and is slightly creamy in texture. It is a bit thick as well so a tiny drop can almost cover your entire face. I use this on my neck as well. Of course the skin on our neck needs hydration as well. This tiny sampler lasted for 5 nights.

PROS:

- moisturizing/hydrating

- skin will look and feel refreshed and plump

- smells great

- a tiny drop can cover the entire face/neck

- gives immediate results

- did not cause any breakouts 

CONS:

- (the actual size is) pricey

- sticky and/or heavy when applied excessively

   The result was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! For 5 days I woke up with hydrated, smooth, plump skin. No kidding. No exaggeration. This was the FIRST emulsion I have ever used that gave IMMEDIATE RESULTS. I recommend this product for people who want to have instant results. For people with dry skin and are looking for anti-aging product that delivers its promise. If you have normal/combination or oily skin like mine and still want a dose of hydration, I suggest you try this emulsion and use it at night only before dozing off to dreamland. I will definitely purchase the one in the bottle as soon as I have saved enough for it because a bottle is more than a thousand bucks online and in stores. The verdict? 5 out of 5 for this heaven sent product!!!!
