Peel So Good Foam Cleanser (Enzyme Peel)

My friend told me that she found a new peeling product line from Etude. Therefore both of us ordered the sample just to make a try.
It is Peel so Good Foam Cleanser. It has three variants: Diamond Peel, Enzyme Peel, Natural Peel.

Description
Diamond powder / Enzyme / AHA, BHA formulated facial foam cleanser supplies a through cleansing with a smooth peeling of dead skin cells.  

How to use
Apply to wet face and lather. Massage throughly and rinse with warm water.

Strength of Peeling: Natural < Enzyme < Diamond

I chose the Enzyme Peel sample. It comes in blue sachet. 

The foam looks like transparent sheer gel that has many tiny beads. The beads is not melting on skin when being rubbed. I really can feel the beads scrub my face. The foam itself doesn’t really foamy. But small amount can handle my whole face.

The result:
It slightly reduces whitehead and makes my skin looks cleaner and smoother. But my skin goes a bit red after use it whereas I apply it lightly!

I wouldn’t buy the full version as it seems a bit harsh for my skin.

Tips:

• Though it is foam cleanser but it is not a foam you can use daily. Use it once or twice a week
• Always follow up with moisturizer to avoid your skin gets dry after use this

I have tried another peeling product from Etude that also has that "enzyme peel" tagline. One that I used before was the Magic Enzyme Pack Peeling. You can read the review here.

Etude Magic Enzyme Pack Peeling

This is a unique item from Etude House: Enzyme Pack Peeling. It is a pack (mask) and peeling included in one product. Actually I was going to buy Magic Bubble Peeling, another peeling product from Etude. But when I visited the store, the sales advisor told me that the item has been discontinued, and then she showed me the Enzyme Pack Peeling.

Magic Enzyme Pack Peeling
(Nutrient Rich Yogurt Gommage Peel)
Gommage treatment with enzyme & yogurt to exfoliate and nourish complexion and remove oil, dirt and excess.

How to Use:
Dispense and apply solution to face. Allow product to absorb into skin by gently patting and leave on. After solution has completely dried, gently rub off with hands. Rinse excess off with warm water.

Size 115ml

The texture is milky white, smells fresh like yogurt, and applies like emulsion. It will dry within few minutes and forms a thin film on your skin. It dries but doesn’t tighten up the skin. It doesn’t sting me as well. While other peeling product is usually to be used after cleansing, this solution is to be used before washing face.

The unique side of this product is: to remove the pack, we shouldn’t rinse it off with water, but rub our hands over the skin. While rubbing, we can get small pieces of the product start come off. The remaining pieces of products may stick into hair locks. So we better use it before washing hair to clean the pack residual which sticks into hair as well.

Packaging
It comes in heavy glass bottle that is just like other products from Korea: cute and girly. I always glad to see those cuties on my beauty shelf. Unfortunately the bottle spout isn’t too user friendly. I have to shake the bottle several times to get enough for my whole face.

My complexion looks clear and more radiant every time I use this product. It is good enough to remove dead skin cells. Even my nose, my face part which usually tends to easily get blackhead, looks clear and smooth. But for blackhead that is deeply embedded, I don’t think this solution could help to remove it.

I’ve been using the product for more than two months. So far the effects are:

• It keeps my skin free from blackhead
• My acne scars are a bit reduced
• Skin becomes smoother after usage, but the effect isn’t long lasting

My skin looked reddish due to scrub product that I used several months ago. Therefore I had to stop using any peeling or scrubbing product to cure the reddish. But this product is gentle and doesn’t irritate my skin. Now I can do peeling treatment without having my skin gets red.

Etude House Moistfull Collagen Cream

I received some samples of moistfull collagen cream. It is a variant of Moistfull Collagen line from Etude House. Complete range of this line includes eye cream, mask, foundation, cream, toner, essence; all of the products in this line are dedicated for dry skin types.

The Moistfull Collagen Cream is a great moisturizing and tightening cream for dry skin. It improves complexion look and feel with concentrated Baobab Tree extract and Collagen formula. It is rich and hydrating without being heavy and oily to the touch.

Instructions on how to use:
Apply generously onto the face after cleansing.

Size 50ml

Feature

• Concentrated Baobab Tree + Collagen content for advanced moisturizing and tightening
• Supplies noticeably tightened sensation and results
• Baobab Tree + Collagen combination improves dermal structure and moisture retention

Baobab is a tree that appears from the story of the Little Prince. It grows mainly in dessert areas in Africa. Called as 'water storage', for its amazing water capacity of keeping more than 120,000 liters of water, which helps it to endure through severe drought. Its fruits contain Vitamin C 6 times more than an orange, and calcium twice more than milk. Also abundant with Vitamin A, B, phosphorus and iron.


The cream itself is white, creamy, and has fresh texture. It is scented and absorbed promptly. The fragrant is not strong anyway, still tolerable. Once I apply the cream, I instantly got the moist full effect. The good thing is that the hydrating effect doesn’t subside after hours.

I am actually not a fan of creamy textured product. But this one is lightweight, moist, feels comfortable enough, and doesn’t leave sticky film.

I tried to use another base cream under this product and the result was bad. I got some whiteheads. So I recommend you not to use this product together with other products like sunscreen, etc. This cream is quiet rich already.

I had a nice try out experience with this product, but I don’t think that I will purchase the full size since it’s genuinely not for oily skin.

Etude House Sweet Appleade Body Wash

I got various samples included by the seller in my last hauls. It will take a while to try them all. One of the latest samples that I tried is the Sweet Appleade Body Wash by Etude House. I must admit that the adorable sample packaging makes me could not bear to tear and break the cute sachet.
Before telling about my review, I want to show the active fruits ingredients which I’m sure you’ll be tempted to try it. They are orange, lemon, bilberry, sugar cane, sugar maple.
Here is the appearance of sample I got:

and the full size looks like this:

It claims to eliminate excess residue from the skin, body wash supplies elasticity to the skin with various fruit extract and a fresh green apple scent.

The texture is gel-like, glutinous, and transparent. I only need a pea size amount to produce enough lather to wash my whole body. One sample size can be used for three times of application.

The lather of the wash is not as creamy as foamy soap’s but it’s able to cleanse up the skin properly. My skin feels slick and moisturized once being washed.

The scent of the body wash and the real green apple fruit is very much alike. It is sweet and refreshing. Unfortunately the nice scent only lingers for a while. It would be great if it can last longer.

The Etude House Sweet Appleade line doesn’t consist of body wash only. It has complete range of lotion, foot spray, scrub, and slim body gel. My first touch with the body wash is quite nice. I wish I can get future chances to try the remaining variants ^^

Etude Skinfit Base

Now I’m talking about an old product of Etude: Skinfit Base. It is my first Korea skin care. I bought it when the BB cream just set their line in Indonesia and was not too popular. It started from my desperate need of replacing my foundation to something lighter.
My old foundation was too thick thus I often experienced clogged pores and acne. After some researches, I found the girls were talking about gentle base which has lighter consistency so as not to clog pores. Therefore, I decided to try that.
I was cheered up by the sweet packaging. It comes in 40ml transparent bottle with pump, wrapped in lovely pink box.

The texture is creamy with pastel-green color. It blends easily to my skin and boost up my skin tone a level higher. The green color fades out the redness on my skin.
I was happy to use that but a little bothered by its poor oil control and the poor coverage. Finally, I realized that I was misusing the function of the base. As I mentioned before, I hoped this base will replace the function of my old foundation. At least to cover my acne scars. But, in the fact this is designed for a different function.
Makeup base acts to smooth over skin imperfections: enlarged pores, fine lines, etc. it also prepares the skin for make up. Using base helps to strengthen the cosmetic’s colors and hold the makeup longer. Some of them also enriched with SPF as the sun protection.
To use: apply to cleansed and moisturized skin before foundation, or wear alone.

Different Shades
Make up Base comes in various shades such as green, purple, orange, and pink. Different shades effects differently on our skin.
Green shade acts as skin tone correcting. It fades out the red patches caused by sensitivity or blemishes. The green pigment makes the skin tone appears more even.
Purple and pink are suitable to diminish the dullness complexion.
Orange helps to correct darker patches such as dark eye circles.

About my Etude Skinfit base, surely it has no oil control, because it is:
“Moisturizing makeup base with SkinFit oil corrects redness in skin”
It is available in green and purple to correct skin tone and suitable for dry skin.
