How was your weekend guys? I guess some of you my dear readers have already received their Christmas bonuses last week and some are done with their shopping *wink*. I am done with mine last weekend and it feels like Christmas already.
Let's start the week with a mini-review of a pack/cream from one of my favorite Korean skincare brand Innisfree. Today's spotlight is on Innisfree Canola Honey Pack and Cream. Another mouthful for a product name right? This sampler was sent to me as a freebie from a Korean ebay seller, behappywithme. She's one of the top sellers on ebay.
The sachet contains only 1ml of product. Which can last for 2-3 days (nightly use). As always and expected, the back part of the sachet has product details written in Hangul/Korean. This product helps create a moisture barrier for hydrated skin. Its main ingredient, Canola Honey, is rich in flavonoids and protein for firm and elastic skin. Since this is a product meant for skin hydration, I only consumed the pack at night. Before opening the sachet, I thought it was cream-like as the name implied but it was a sticky thick gel...like honey only clear. The scent was like honey. A tiny drop (like the one above) was enough to cover my entire face. And a rice grain size for my neck. I used it after washing and toning. Once applied, the product does feel really sticky but after massaging my face and neck it felt like I applied a cream instead of a gooey substance. It felt light once the product was absorbed by my skin. The next day my skin felt hydrated and the little bumps on my chin were gone.
Overall, this product is very suitable for women in their 30's-above for skin hydration. People with dry skin will benefit much from this product as well. As to people like me with oily skin, may opt not use this as this will produce more oil especially when used during daytime. A big no no. But a tiny amount during your nightly beauty regimen can help you have a moisturized skin when you wake up the next day. So therefore very optional for us.
PROS:
- does its claims
- works as a cream and as a sleeping pack
- mild
- absorbs quickly
- very natural scent
- a tiny amount is needed
CONS:
- sticky when applied
- may not be suitable for oily skin
- produces more oil on face
Though I belong to the oily skin group, I still like this product. Though I have no plans of purchasing a tub. There are so many products out there that does the same but for a cheaper price. I give this honey a 4 out of 5!
