Ingredients

To quickly note, I received this for a small fee from 0.8 Liter for my honest review, this post is not sponsored.

This product contains 100 ml (3.38 oz) and has a light fruity scent.

The gel-cream feels very cooling, like a cold burst of water.

The cream is a little tricky to apply because it starts to become more watery when it hits the skin.

When spreading it has a watery texture but it does leave a slight film after applying.

It leaves a very slight tacky finish, but it absorbs quickly.

Recommended use is to apply the product to your face, massage gently to penetrate water essence drops and use at the final step of skincare. After using, I used this cream on my face and chest. It feels very watery and refreshing when you apply the cream and it does have a pretty noticeable papaya scent and it can be kind of hard to spread this because the minute you scoop out the cream, it already starts to melt onto the skin because it can be spread properly. It does tone down my redness slightly and it absorbs quickly and leaves a hydrated feeling with a light film to protect the skin after applying.

What I like: this cream is very hydrating and it really does feel like a blast of cool water on the skin. It absorbs quickly and leaves a slight protective film. The ingredients are very good and there was a lot of product, so it lasted quite a while. I also really like the papaya scent this product has. What I don't like: it can be kind of sticky around the eye area and some people may not appreciate the papaya fragrance in this product.

Pros:

Hydrating

Brightening

Cooling and hydrating finish

Nice ingredients

Decent amount of product

Little goes a long way

Nice papaya scent

Cons:

Remains sticky around the eyes

Strong fragrance

Would I buy again?

Maybe

Rating: 8.5/10

Review of GLAMSKIN’s Papaya & Grapefruit Instant Brightening Cream

GLAMSKIN is a Korean brand that showcases unique and innovative skincare by representing the "It Lifestyle" and latest beauty trends. They prefer to use tropical fruits and plants with high efficacy for skincare. The power of nature is proven by science with amazing and uplifting scents. Their Papaya & Grapefruit Instant Brightening Cream is designed to instantly brighten and even out skin tone and texture, it provides a naturally even and bright skin tone. Ingredients include: 1,000ppm of papaya fruit extract (antioxidant, vitamin-rich, anti-inflammatory, moisturizing, anti-wrinkle), 1,000ppm of grapefruit fruit extract (antioxidant, anti-aging, evens out skin tone, vitamin C, aids in production of collagen, skin firming), sodium hyaluronate (anti-aging, moisturizing, hydrating, helpful to replenish hyaluronic acid that is naturally lost due to age), broccoli extract (aids in skin repair, promotes natural glow, vitamin-rich, anti-aging, promotes skin elasticity, anti-wrinkle, prevents skin cancer) and shea butter (moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, skin smoothing, vitamin-rich, nourishing). This product retails for between $9-15 USD, you can get it here for $9.45 + free shipping.

Ingredients

Water, Glycerin, Mineral Oil, Cetearyl Alcohol, Niacinamide, Titanium Dioxide, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Propylene Glycol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Stearic Acid, Glyceryl Monostearate, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Triethanolamine, Cyclopentasilxane, Cyclohexasiloxane, Petrolatum, Carbomer, Methylparaben, Phenoxyethanol, Carica Papaya (Papaya) Fruit Extract (1,000ppm), Citrus Paradisi (Grapefruit) Fruit Extract (1,000ppm), Brassica Oleracea Italica (Broccoli) Extract, Mica, Propylparaben, Fragrance, Disodium EDTA, Panthenol, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

To quickly note, I received this for a small fee from 0.8 Liter for my honest review, this post is not sponsored.

This product contains 50 ml (1.69 oz) in a hard plastic tub. It has a slight fruity scent, nothing too overwhelming.

The packaging is very nice and would be easy to travel with.

The cream has a semi-thick texture and is actually quite hydrating.

The cream can be used alone or a small amount mixed into your moisturizer for a more subtle brightening effect.

The texture is quite smooth and not chalky like some whitening creams.

(Yes, I realize this is actually too much product). It's quite creamy and blends out pretty well.

It does smooth out and even skin texture like it claims.

There is also no flashback from this product, so you don't need to worry about flash photography.

As you can see, the product blends in well and doesn't emphasize pores or bumpy skin texture.

Recommended use is to gently massage product onto the face as well as your neck and elbow and whatever body parts you want to brighten. After using, the scent of this product is quite pleasant and very light. I found that it's easy to use on its own and does have a CC cream effect by covering skin imperfections and brightening your skin evenly. It can also be mixed into your normal moisturizer for a more subtle brightening effect. I think over time, this whitening cream will brighten my skin more evenly and naturally as I use it. One thing to look out for though is that this product doesn't mix well with every moisturizer, so it's best to test it with different ones.

What I like: I like how even my skin tone becomes and it really smooths over bumps and imperfections. It can be used on any body part that you want to brighten. It can be used on its own or as part of a moisturizer to brighten skin more subtly. The scent is very pleasant and light, it doesn't linger however so this would be good for sensitive skin. Very little is needed to brighten skin satisfactorily. Over time I believe this cream will brighten skin naturally and really help with dark spots and scarring. What I don't like: this product works well with other moisturizers, but you should test different ones or this will ball up and fall off of your skin.

Pros:

Moisturizing

Brightening (subtly and more dramatically like CC cream)

Light pleasant scent

Great ingredients

Little goes a long way

Evens out and smooths skin tone and texture

Can be used on the face and body

Suitable for sensitive skin

Cons:

Doesn't work with all moisturizers, should be tested

Would I buy again?

Possibly

Rating: 8/10

Glamskin Papaya and Grapefruit Essence Water Cream Review

Glamskin Papaya and Grapefruit Essence Water Cream Review

[tntbab]

I was sad this product by Gransell and 0.8L in exchange for my honest review. GlamSkin Papaya and grapefruit essence water cream is a lovely lightweight moisturizing gel that feels and smells refreshing. I have to list the added fragrance as a negative due to its potential irritability and reaction with sensitive skin. That said, my skin tolerates this fragrance and it is a nice change from the normal floral or vanilla cents. I can smell both the papaya and the grapefruit and it lingers for a little while, just enough to be pleasant. The packaging is very cute with a white top and a gorgeous pink/salmon luxurious tub. The box also has a pretty artist design along the sides. Both look very pretty on my vanity. This gel is made with royal jelly, propolis, aloe vera extract, Niacinamide, adenosine, and antioxidents making it a good 3-in-1 toner, serum, and moisturizer. I recommend this for the benefits to skin with the only negative point being the added fragrance. #glamskin #essence #papayaandgrapefruitessencewatercream #essencewatercream #kbeauty #08L

Review of GLAMSKIN's Jeju Cucumber 3D Sheet Mask

GLAMSKIN is a Korean brand that showcases unique and innovative skincare by representing the “It Lifestyle” and latest beauty trends. They prefer to use tropical fruits and plants with high efficacy for skincare. The power of nature is proven by science with amazing and uplifting scents. Their Jeju Cucumber 3D Sheet Mask is meant to moisturize skin intensively and even skin tone and texture. Ingredients include: 3000ppm of Jeju cucumber fruit extract (hydrating, moisturizing, soothing, cooling, nourishing, softening), sodium hyaluronate (anti-aging, moisturizing, hydrating, helpful to replenish hyaluronic acid that is naturally lost due to age) and aloe vera juice (anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, soothing, healing, moisturizing) and pollen (anti-aging, moisturizing, anti-irritant, antioxidant, nourishing). This product retails for between $8-10 USD, you can get a pack of 5 here for $10.76 + free shipping.

Ingredients

Water, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Niacinamide, Sodium Hyaluronate, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract (3,000ppm), Hydrolyzed Collagen, Xanthan Gum, Carbomer, Tocopheryl Acetate, Disodium EDTA, Panthenol, Trehalose, Betaine, Ceramide NP, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Leaf Extract, Sea Water, Cereus Grandiflorus (Cactus) Extract, Swiftlet Nest Extract, Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Beta-Glucan, Methylparaben, Allantoin, Triethanolamine, Polysorbate 80, Adenosine, Fragrance

To quickly note, I received this for a small fee from 0.8 Liter for my honest review, this post is not sponsored.

This mask contains 27 grams (0.95 oz) and has a very almost salty cucumber scent.

The cucumbers on the front of the mask are meant to have a 3D effect and the eyes, nose and mouth holes all fit very comfortably.

Recommended use is to use either daily or up to 1-2 times a week to provide moisture and nourishment. Apply the mask gently and remove after 10-20 minutes, pat remaining essence into the skin to help it penetrate the skin more effectively. After using, I found that the mask fits very well and the fragrance of salty cucumbers is pretty strong, it does fade somewhat but doesn't completely go away. My skin felt very cool and moisturized and I noticed blemishes I had were gone or almost gone after using the mask. The ingredients are all very good and this is a great mask if you have very parched or irritated skin. However, if you hate fragrance, this mask is not going to be good for you. I don't think the fragrance is irritating to the skin but it isn't really pleasant to smell either. My skin stayed clear and moisturized for about 2 days after using and I really enjoyed the mask overall. Great for dry skin.

What I like: the effects of the mask are very good. My skin is very smooth and soft and clear. My skin tone is evened out and hydrated and my skin is hydrated and plump. It's a very soothing mask and the cucumbers on the front are amusing to me. The effects last a long time and really cleared away some blemishes I had. What I don't like: the fragrance is very strong and doesn't fade while using the mask. If you can't handle or don't want fragrance, better to avoid this one. Otherwise good mask.

Pros:

Hydrating

Moisturizing

Fun 3D cucumber design

Nourishing

Good ingredients

Soothing

Clears blemishes

Great for parched skin

Comfortable

Cons:

Scent is too strong

Would I buy again?

Maybe

Amazing mask. Super refreshing on the skin and absorbed very quick, effortlessly. Made my skin tingle as i added the mask to my face. Let sit requiried amount of time. Made my skin soft, more vibrant, and it had an amazing beautiful glow after use. Really enjoyed this mask so much that I almost fell asleep while using it, it was that calming and cooling to the face. Didnt leave my face feeling oily afterwards but it did feel moisturized. For a sheet mask I give this baby a 9 out of 10. Packaging is super cute, its written in Korean but I found the directions easily online so that wasnt an issue. Easy to remove mask from packaging, it was super easy to apply to the face and easily removed with no problems. Smell of this product is amazing and it smells like a cucumber oasis soon as you open the package up. It isnt too strong and didnt bother me as i applied the mask, it did however linger so if you dont like the smell of cucumber then dont expect to like this product. I did feel the cucumber and active ingredients working on my skin. Loved the results that i saw in the mirror a few hours after use my face was still glowing and looked very healthy. Amazing mask, I would repurchase and recommend this product to my friends. A+ #glamskin #jeju3dsheetmask #sheetmask #kbeauty #granbeauty #08L
