Gold Kiwi Serum

Here is my experience with tester of Gold Kiwi Serum by The Skin Food. Here is the description (taken from here):

Moisture-rich skin-whitening GoldKiwi Serum restores and renews your skin from deep under, using a substance found in goldkiwis.
[A Secret in GoldKiwi fruits] Do you know that New Zealanders eat goldkiwis without peeling them off not to miss out their nutritional effects? Skinfood has newly discovered a substance found in the goldkiwis's skin, helps restore your sun-damaged skin from deep under.


The texture is milky, watery and lightweight. Leaves no heavy feel. It absorb slowly. I wait for approximately ten seconds before it sink completely in my skin. It leaves matte look, isn't greasy and neither hydrating. It would be okay to be used before you apply makeup because of the non greasy texture. I applied a little too much of it and after 30 minutes it didn’t feel moist anymore.

Actually my trial run was not complete since I didn't have the complete set of Gold Kiwi moisturizer products (Gold Kiwi Emulsion and Cream). I still have faith that Korean products should be used in complete range to get its optimal result. So though I said this serum is not hydrating enough, I might say different comment if I use it combined with the emulsion and the cream as well.


Well that's all. It was just a tester. No long term observation. I was honestly not impressed with the tester.

Fresh Juice C Emulsion

Hey, I just finished a sachet of The Skinfood Fresh Juice C Emulsion. Besides cleanser, I'm also keen to try various types of moisturizers. That’s why I was so excited when I received this sample.

Description:
This skin-brightening cream contains fruit complex extracts with vitamin C and nano-processed vitamin C derivatives to revitalize skin. It also contains arbutin to keep skin looking radiant and vibrant.


The Fresh Juice C claims to bring brightening effects, hydrates, and moisturizes at the same time. The texture is fresh, lightweight, absorbs promptly, and has mild citrus smell. It left no sticky residue on the skin and it hydrates my skin pretty well. But you know, Korean creates many types of moisturizer that actually meant to be used altogether. So if you intend to obtain a durable moisturizing effect, you should use not only this emulsion, but also combine it with the cream and serum.

Since I have oily combination skin, I sometimes get pimples. But honestly I never used acne medication treatment since none of them is effective for curing my zits. Instead, my zits actually healed if I apply a moisturizer that contains high doses of vitamin C. Therefore I also want to see if this Fresh Juice C emulsion is effective to heal my pimple. Unfortunately it did nothing with my zits. It even didn’t dry up as I expected. BRTC Vitalizer C cream did it even better. The BRTC dries up my zits only in a night. Well, maybe I need more applications before I can see improvement with my zits. But unfortunately the contents of my sachet had been empty.

Platinum Grape Cell Essence and Cream

Few days ago, a friend of my husband went to Korea. And as you can guess, I didn’t waste the opportunity to ask her bought me some beauty haul. I actually gave her some list of stuff to buy, but unfortunately she only managed to buy one: Platinum Grape Cell Essential BB Cream from The Skin Food. And as I often hear that store in Korea love to reward customer with many samples, my haul was also flooded with product samples gift.


my haul with samples gift

Since I bought the Platinum Grape BB Cream, so I decided to try the samples which came from the same range at first. I usually use Egyptian Magic Cream as my night treatment. But last night I decided to leave my EMC for a while and tried essence and cream of Platinum Grape Cell instead.




Skinfood Platinum Grape Cell Toner & Emulsion Mini Gift Set
 

How I used it:
After used my toner, i waited until it rather dried, then I applied the essence. And after that I waited some minutes more before added a layer of the cream on it.

It felt slightly sticky upon application but then gradually disappear after about 30 minutes later. To be compared to Etude Moistfull cream, these products are less sticky and more comfortable for me.
I did not wake up with severe oily face in the next day. My face felt moist. I only got slight grease excess around my nose.

I also used both of the products as moisturizer before applying the Platinum Grape Cell BB Cream (just want to know how it feels to use products in a same line), and the result is good. There is no excess oil. My skin tone looks natural and quiet stable until I leave my office.
For detail description about the essence you may see here

Black Sugar Mask Wash Off

I was surfing on the Skin Food's site when I found Black Sugar Mask wash off. The display picture of the product was marked with best seller stamp and that quiet attracted my attention.
I was searching for a suitable facial wash-off mask at that moment. Therefore I decided to buy it on my next shopping.


The product picture with best seller stamp

(taken from the site)

Description
Moisturizing and exfoliating wash off scrub mask with minerals, vitamins and glycolic acid. Cleanses and revitalizes the skin

Size 100g

After waited for about one month, I finally received my mask. It comes in a plastic pot. The texture is thick and granules. It does smell like brown sugar, and felt warm once I put it on my face.

How to use the product is kind of tricky. The sugar grains may feel harsh if you massage it on dry skin surface. Therefore ensure your skin is still damp when you use it. The grains will slowly melt by heat of your finger's skin. You may also apply it on wet face. It will be gentler since it will melt easier. Apply on cleansed face and let sit for 10 minutes before rub it softly in circular motion.
Not only my face, I used to rub my lips as well. And sometimes I swallow it accidentally. Guess what, it does taste sweet like sugar.

I usually do it during bath time. Applying the mask inside bath room makes the sugar grains melt easily hence it won't hurt the skin. But when I do it in my bedroom, it hurts due to the air conditioning that makes my room cold that makes it more difficult for the sugar granules to melt off.

After rinse it off with water, I tone my skin and apply moisturizer. The beads exfoliate pretty well. It leaves my skin feeling clean but usually also gets oilier few hours later after I use this product.
Other result that I can report is that this really helps to fade my acne scars thus improve my complexion. But as usual, I tend to use a product that I like too frequent. No wonder my skin gets red a bit.

Tea Tree Emulsion




Again, my sister bought some Korean beauty stuffs which means new toys for me lol. She bought quiet many things: emulsion, bb cream, hair mist, cleansing foam. Well, her shopping passion seems greater than mine. I'm going to review them one by one. And now it's time for Skin Food Tea Tree emulsion. To be honest I was kind of skeptical with this product. I thought all tea tree product will end up with dried skin. But I'm totally wrong.

Instruction:
Apply evenly after essence and gently tap to absorb.

Description:
Emulsion for acne troubled skin with tea tree oil. Effectively controls oil to prevent acne.

The product comes in cute glass bottle of 160ml. I heard that glass packaging is good to keep natural ingredients. The texture is milky white-greenish, lotion-like but more watery which making it easy to pour out of the glass bottle. It spreads and absorbs easily on my skin. Leaving skin feels moist and comfort. Smells tea tree typical but is not overpowering.

It claims to sooth troubled and oily skin with its tea tree oil and willow herb extract that control excess sebum.

The best thing of it is: it keeps the skin oil free longer yet moisturizes properly. When I remove my makeup in the end of the day, my skin doesn't feel dehydrated either. This is very nice to be used as base before bb cream and even for night use.

To be compared with Peach Sake emulsion that I owned, it is much better. It doesn't break me out while the peach sake always end me up with whitehead. The oil control and hydrating properties of tea tree is also better than peach sake.

As per my sister's comment, the tea tree emulsion gives soothing effect to her skin and does reduce the pain and redness of acne. But seems like it does nothing on size of acne.

The Skin Food Seaweed Cleansing Foam

It was my sister who bought Seaweed Cleansing Foam. She chose it simply because her skin type is oily combination, and it matches the product description. So, without further delay, let's see the review.

Product Description
A deep cleanser that gently removes make up with a refreshing feeling. It contains tea tree extract, a natural antibacterial agent and AHA to effectively exfoliate dead skin cells. This refreshing cleansing foam for oily and combination skin removes makeup residue with its rich foam, while cleansing deep down to pores.



It comes in very simple packaging: stored in big tube with labels in the front and back side. I was worry if the label will easily ripped since it looks like being made by recycled paper. But in the fact it is plastic label that looks like recycled paper.

The texture itself is blue-pale colored, creamy and soft. It lathers well. You only need a very tiny size to create much lather. It does have smell, but very mild hence nothing relaxing experience I can get.

Instruction
Apply desired amount and gently rub in circular motion. Wipe off with tissue or wash off with lukewarm water.

Upon application, my skin looks matte, fresh, and radiant. The pores look cleaner than usual. I think it does cleanse deeply down to pores and get rid the dead skin cells.



the back side

Compared to Mung Bean Facial Foam, it purifies the pores better. But, whenever I use mung bean foam, I always feel it calms down my face and reduce the bumps or early acne I get during my busy day in the office, while I don’t/less get it with by the Seaweed foam.

As per my sister’s comment that has been using it continuously for about one month, she said that the product helps her to stay oil free longer. But her skin becomes slight dryer accordingly. Besides, she feels that this product supports acne healing. The acne dries up faster than usual.

Lime Secret Shine Base

Hi all, I’m still in chapter of samples stories. When I purchase products, I often get some samples attached. It is fun to get those samples. I can feel how the product runs before buy the original size. Surely I’m eager to share the review to all of you. But we all know, dealing with samples means we can not observe how the product goes in long term. This also means the review is only ‘at-a-glance’ review. Anyway, just check it out and enjoy!

Now, I’m going to share my experience in trying sample of The Skin Food’s Lime Secret Shine Base. It is a makeup base which is lightweight and oil free. It is intended to control oil but makes your face looks dewy and radiant.

Oil free double reflects natural pearl powder to make skin smooth and slim looking with an irresistible glow.

Use: After basic skin care, shake the bottle freely then apply evenly throughout the whole face.
Content: 30g

Recommended for dull complexion.



The texture is pearl-pinkish. No greasy at all and comfortable. Just feels like wear nothing. When I accidentally apply too much, it still looks natural.

Once applied, it gives velvet touch sensation on my skin. The glow, which is very subtle, leaves my skin looks luminous and dewy with its faint shimmers. Besides, it also evens out skin tone: dims out the redness and pores. If you already have nice complexion with rare scar, you may only use this and skip foundation. I’m not quiet sure but I feel like using this a bit helps to control oil and keep the BB cream stays good longer.

Beside of the Lime Secret, I also got a sample sachet of Baviphat Island Girls BB Primer Fix. This one is BB Primer which is intended to be used after moisturizer and before BB cream. Both of them seem to have similar function right? So, I did a comparison between them. One applied on left cheek, while the other on right cheek. According to the observation, I found appearance of area that I applied Baviphat is slight better than area I applied Lime Secret. Here’s what I found:
  • Pores look a bit more shrink on the Baviphat’s area
  • Tone looks more pinkish and dewier on Lime Secret’s area

Note: about the BB Primer Fix will be reviewed later.

Avocado Rich Cream

After some time, I realized that my skin type is oily combination that sometimes turns drier, being influenced by some reasons such as beauty routine, hormones, weather, medication, etc. So, finally I bought Avocado Rich Cream from The Skin Food, aimed at treating my skin whenever it feels dry.

Why I chose the Avocado? Actually I had always been curious about the goodness of avocado. I heard that it is effective in preventing aging and providing elasticity to skin. But since I formerly assumed that my skin is oily and acne prone, I was afraid it would make me breakout. Later, after I realized that my skin went drier, I thought that it was the time to give the avocado a try.




The Avocado line of The Skin Food is dedicated to treat problems such dehydration, roughness, and wrinkles. This nourishing cream with vitamin A, D and protein-rich avocado oil, provides oil and moisture to skin and keep skin apt to be dry moist.

Size - 50g

Instruction
Apply to cleansed and toned face while giving light massage. Then leave it about 3 minutes before absorbed thoroughly.





This is a cream based moisturizer with thick and rich texture. It has faint smell of avocado. The cream might be too rich to be used at morning. But I usually do a trick so that I still can use it as day cream without being too greasy. After tone my skin, I apply a very little of the cream and leave it for 5 until 10 minutes. After that, I apply other lighter moisturizer (preferably lotion or gel type). I usually use Lettuce Cucumber Water Jelly Cream or Skin MD Shielding Lotion. The second layer will reduce the greasy film left by the avocado rich cream.

Pros

  • Instantly skin feels moist
  • Doesn’t sting
  • Have no problems with breakouts
  • Feels better and more comfortable (being compared to other creamy moisturizers I tried before: Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion and Aloe Cream from TBS)
  • Does not cause blackheads

Cons

  • Too heavy for day time
  • A bit sticky
  • Leads to skin looking shinier than usual
  • Leads to greasy feeling, especially in hot weather

Beside of using it as moisturizer, I also like to use the product as if it is a facial mask. After cleanse the face, I wrap my face using warm dry towel for a while. Then, apply thick layer of avocado cream. Wrap the face again with the warm towel for 5 minutes. Finally, rinse it off with lukewarm water.

Aside from the shiny looking and greasy feeling I get on my face, I like this product because my acne prone skin does not react to it. I recommend it to people with extremely dry skin.

The Skin Food Hop Beer Hair Wash

A girl in female forum I join told me that using cheap and inexpensive shampoo may cause the hair is contaminated by silicone. Silicone (known as dimethicone) is added to give smooth appearance. Regular shampoo usually can’t fully wash the hair to rid the buildup of hair products that can remain in our hair. Buildup may also occur from conditioners, hair spray, hair gel, chlorine, and other styling products. As the result, hair may look dull after a while. Therefore, we need to sometimes wash our hair with deep cleansing shampoo to get rid those impurities.

I got three samples sachet of Hop Beer Hair Wash from The Skin Food as gift of my purchase. It is shampoo which is enriched with beer extracts, keratin protein, rosemary extracts to thoroughly cleanse scalp, nourish hair, strengthening hair, and provide intensive treatment to damaged hair.

Product Description
Good for all hair types, but especially hair-loss, this new shampoo rids hair of product buildup environmental impurities.
Hop Beer Hair Wash clears and clarifies the hair while Beer, Copper peptide, Vitamin-H and Herbal Extracts nourish and protect it.



Instruction
Apply a spoonful of shampoo to wet hair, and massage to foam. Rinse thoroughly.

Size 240ml

The product texture is sheer, light-brown colored, and has strong weird scent. It smells like herbal or traditional medicine, nice but a bit weird. Some people may dislike the fragrance, but for me, it makes my washing time become fun. The aroma is pleasant and relaxing (at least for myself :p). It foams quiet much unless you pour a very few amount that is not enough for your whole hair.

As per the description, the product claims to cleanse hair by removing the build-up of hair products. Removing these impurities will allow hair treatment and styling products to work more effectively.

I personally don’t really aware whether it works to remove hair impurities or not, but my hair locks indeed feels lighter, more bouncy, clean, and actually a bit dry when I use the product. Besides, it also makes my hair become softer and more manageable. I personally don’t get any complaint such as hair loss or anything else while using this product.

The smell could be nice for some people, but could be very disturbing for the others since it is quiet intense. I still smell the aroma at the next day, and since I like it, it’s a pleasant thing for me. But for them who don’t like traditional medicine smelling, this could be annoying.

That’s all that I can share. Unfortunately I only got few samples, so actually it’s hard to say if it will be good for long term use or not.
I do a little search and find that copper peptide is indeed known to treat hair scalp and prevent hair loss. Unfortunately I don’t buy the full size product so I can’t test whether it works or not.

The Skinfood Mushroom Multi Care BB Cream

After having the Aloe BB Cream, I bought the other variant of The Skin Food: Mushroom Multi Care BB Cream which offers three functions: whitening, anti-aging, and sun block.

This is the product description
Functions as a make-up and skin-care in one. Acts as a foundation that covers blemishes and evens out skin tone. BB Creams are known to increase skin regeneration. Has Whitening, Sun Protection and Anti-Aging properties!

Size 50ml





The product comes in squeeze tube with cute label. It has runnier consistency compared to Aloe BB Cream. But for me, the texture is not easily blended hence I still need to apply moisturizer. I can see dry patches if I use it without moisturizer. It also has nice smelling like raw herbal.

I take shade #1 which is brighter than #2. The color appearance looks pinkish but ashy compared to Aloe BB Cream which is also pinkish but looks more radiant. The product helps to even out the tone but unfortunately doesn’t work well to hide the pores.

I have been using this product for several months. So far it doesn’t build problem with my skin as long as I use it in a proper way: don’t leave the skin with BB cream longer than ten hours, always cleanse the face properly after usage, and never go bed with BB cream on my face.

Due to the poor coverage, I mostly use the product as base layer before use Feverlet HD. As per my review, I said that I broke out using Feverlet HD though it gives a very nice appearance. Applying Mushroom BB cream under Feverlet HD helps me to avoid breakout. Besides, the fair shade #1 of the Mushroom BB cream is suitable enough to be combined with Feverlet which also has light shade.

I find that the oil control is less than Aloe. But if I use it together with Feverlet HD, the oil control is better. Upon the application, my skin used to be dewy at the first two hours. Then, it changes to be much well after I blot. The appearance looks nice and natural. But it goes to be shiny after six hours. The oil control is worse and gives me greasy looking if I use it alone without Feverlet HD.

I’m actually not satisfied with its coverage. But the SPF and PA+ in it is a good reason for keep using it. Beside, it doesn’t give me any breakout. Based on my experience, BB creams from The Skin Food is friendly for skin. It doesn’t leads to acne or blackhead as long as I use it in proper way.

Other features in it are to whiten the skin and acts as anti-aging. Though I have been using it for several months, I can’t say anything to prove that it works or not. But actually I don’t really care with the product claims. As long as it doesn’t lead to breakout, it’s fine by me.

The Skin Food Lettuce & Cucumber Water Jelly Cream

I have been using The Skin Food Lettuce & Cucumber Water Jelly Cream for about one month. So I think this is the time to review it!
My skin type is oily combination. But it tends to dry lately, especially after I have air condition in my bedroom. Therefore I need a more hydrating moisturizer which will not lead me to breakout.


Actually I already fell in love with Skin MD Shielding Lotion which I got for free (The Skin MD’s representative asked me to write a review about it). Though it can be used for body, face, and hand, I use Skin MD mostly for my face and it was nice. It is hydrating, not greasy, feels light, and the best thing, it doesn’t breakout. But it’s hard to get it again. It is not being sold in my country. I tried to find it in Singapore, but the price is quiet expensive. So I decided to try another product. And finally I came to the Lettuce & Cucumber line from The Skin Food.

I was pondering between the emulsion and the water jelly cream. Finally I chose the Water Jelly Cream since I wanted to ensure that my skin hydrated well.



This is the description of the product:
A refreshing, moisturizing gel cream that contains lettuce and cucumber extracts. It provides prolonged hydration to skin in the summer or in air condition room, keeping it clear.
Part of the intensely hydrating Lettuce & Cucumber range, the nourishing gel-like cream utilizes Nano Technology to aid in the faster absorption of nutrients and vitamins. Employing aquaphylin for maximum skin hydration, the Water Jelly Cream drenches skin in rich moisture to keep skin clean, clear and wonderfully hydrated. It is recommended for dry and aging skin types. This gel-type cream whose cool water is slowly absorbed into the skin, keeping your skin moisturized for a long period of time, and that contains minerals and vitamins


Size 50ml


I think the name is very suitable to describe the product texture: it is indeed creamy and jelly, light and fresh as water. The ‘cream’ itself is greenish milky white. I currently use it as my day moisturizer before applying BB cream. It helps to provide hydration to my skin without having my face gets oily and greasy in the middle of the day.

I use it after cleanse and tone my skin. Apply generous amount on face, rub softly, and gently press the palm of my hand for absorbs better. Upon application, there is fresh and comfort feeling. I don’t notice any disturbing fragrance.
This product is good for me. As I said before, it hydrates without bring on more pimples. It is indeed refreshing and not sticky at all.

The complete line of Lettuce & Cucumber Water include: Lettuce Cucumber Massage, Emulsion, Matte Finish Gel, Mild Pact, Toner, Water Drop Essence, Water Essence Mask Sheet, Water Jelly Cream, Water Jelly Essence, Water Mist, Watery Base, and Watery Foundation.

I am interested to have the essence too. It’s confusing because they have the ‘Water Drop Essence’, ‘Water Essence’ (without ‘drop’ in it), and ‘Water Jelly Essence’. It will be hard to decide between three of them.

Buckwheat Loose Powder

I used to set my BB cream with Palgantong Theatrical loose powder. Actually I am quiet satisfied with it. It gives me radiant look and good oil control. But the mini size of the product (10g) made me finished it quickly. I needed to order more and more in a rather short period. Then, I decided to look for another product which has good quality, bigger content, and (maybe) cheaper price. Reading some reviews of girls in female forum, I bought Buckwheat Loose Powder from The Skin Food.



Here is the product description: This loose powder with its soft, fine particles offers a bloomingly radiant, flawless finish. Buckwheat oil creates incredibly transparent, shine-free skin tone, with silky-smooth texture.

Features
  • This soft silky powder contains buckwheat oil that leaves skin natural and glowing.
  • Sets the foundation and slightly mattifies skin without changing its natural contours.
  • Softens the appearance of imperfections. Completely evens out the complexion for a fresh, radiant look.
It comes in nice packaging with sponge included. Though I’ve known that the product size is 23g but I was surprised finding the packaging is quiet bulky. The powder itself is fairly fine and soft. The shade I pick is #23 (Natural Beige). It creates natural look and dewy finish.

For me, the coverage of this product is medium and not as good as Palgantong does. Just like what it claims, it doesn’t change my natural contours. The oil control is also medium. My face starts oily after few hours and I get powder stains when I blot or swipe my face with tissue. So I have to say that the powder’s lasting power is medium. One thing that a bit disturbs me is the scented powder which is quiet strong.

Overall, I’d say that this product is better than Dodo Club Fairy Skin Powder, but under Palgantong Theatrical Powder. But still, the review is subjective to each individual. Each person has different skin tone thus may get different results.

The Skin Food Aloe Sun BB Cream SPF20 PA+

Finally after pondering for long time, I got my Skin Food Aloe Sun BB Cream SPF20 PA+. I put a huge hope that it will not breakout my skin. I used the Feverlet HD before. It gives me lovely radiant and healthy look, plus nice oil control. But unfortunately it is not friendly to my skin. I often get bumps after use it a day long. I wish the Skinfood’s plays better.



This is the description behind the package
Rich with aloe, which possesses excellent hydrating properties and soothing effect, this multi-functional skin care product (UV protector and blemish corrector) provides moisture and nutrition to your skin while providing protection from UV rays
Description from the site
A skin-care and make-up in one, this cream leaves your skin feeling moisturized while it corrects your skin tone. Your complexion looks naturally air-brushed, clear and fresh! Rich with aloe, it excellently soothes skin and provides moisture. Also contains SPF 20!

The packaging is sweet. Just as the other The Skin Food products which always come in great outfit.

It comes in 2 shades, #1 (radiant) & #2 (natural). I picked the #2 and the shade matches the color of my skin. It doesn’t give me brighter shade as Feverlet HD does, but it doesn’t make me turn darker as well.
The texture is medium to sheer and pretty easy to blend. For your information, I always put moisturizer before BB cream. If I don’t apply moisturizer, I believe it will be a little bit hard to blend.
The cream has mild scent. I am not really sure what it is, but smells as aloe for me. Once being applied, my face feels light. It doesn’t leave any uncomfortable feeling. I finish it by dusting with loose powder.
The result is dewy and air-brushed look, just as what the site claims. The final look seems to be a little unnatural for me, but still acceptable. I see the cream doesn’t sink properly. The coverage is medium. Red blotches, scars, and big pores are not covered very well.

The oil control is pretty nice. I use Cool Aqua Gel from Dodoclub as the moisturizer and I know this gel gives me a bit too much hydration. But the BB cream does a quiet good job in blocking the oil.

I’ll share the progress once I notice visible further effects.

Skin food Honey Black Tea Jelly Foam

I have special interest with facial cleansers. I believe that proper cleansing is a base to prevent further skin troubles. Here is another one: Skin food Honey Black Tea Jelly Foam. The name sounds very yummy right?! It contains honey and black tea extracts. Honey effectively moisturizes skin after cleansing, while black tea has excellent exfoliating effect that helps eliminating keratin and giving a skin boost. Besides, black tea also acts as astringent that leaves skin lustrous, feeling fresh and hydrated. It’s suitable for oily skin.

The foam itself comes in glutinous jelly transparent texture. Easy to foam and allow to produce a lot of bubbles. I just need a very small amount of the foam and mix it with water to get enough to be applied. Do not pour too much out or you will get too many bubbles and wasting some. End up by rinsing it with warm water. Leaves skin clean, moist, and supple.

It smells so good, just like scent of honey. You probably don’t really keen with the scent for it is too strong. I personally don’t know whether it comes from natural honey or added perfume.
The foam is not drying, but will not make skin to be over-oily. I use it whenever I think my skin needs to be fed and hydrated.

SkinFood Peach Sake Emulsion

Skin Food Peach Sake Emulsion is one of my favorite. Though I don’t see a visible improvement, but the fresh peach scent and its vitamin A and C content give me a trigger to use it. Besides, its pretty packaging is adorable. As its name, this emulsion also enriched with sake, a traditional beverage from Japan which is extracted from rice. The mix of peach-sake is believed helping to tighten pores and controls excess sebum.

Tips for you who has oily skin type, be sure to use a small amount of this emulsion. Yes, although it’s claimed to be sebum controlling, I still get oils around my nose. I usually get two drops of it. Apply thoroughly to the whole face excluding the eye and mouth area. Pat with your finger for better absorbent. Wait for at least three minutes before go to the next skin care/cosmetic.

So far I still can’t see any different with my pores. But I keep using this as my daily moisturizer since I believe that this product will not harsh or worsen my skin. Maybe I need to purchase the whole series of Skin Food peach sake line for best result.
