Review: Naruko Rose Cubic Lotion

Having dry winter skin, I have been searching for a toner that is deeply hydrating and rich. I came across Naruko Rose Cubic Lotion and my search has been finished. This product is a jelly toner that has hydrated my skin deeply and using it has made me seen an improvement in my skin. 

The above photo shows its claims. I feel with the use of this toner, my skin absorbs the serum and moisturizer better, and it is so hydrating that sometimes I feel in a hotter climate, this would be enough as a day moisturizer. With the use of this, I have seen a lot less dry patches on my skin.

The packaging of this is simple and clean. I like how the pump dispenses just enough product for one application on my face. 

The toner comes out as a clear gel like liquid with a strong rose scent. (I personally love rose scented products.)  It spreads easily and is instantly absorbed without feeling sticky. Sometimes I even apply a layer of this over my night cream and the next morning I wake up with very hydrated and smooth skin. I have also substituted my makeup primer with this and have found my foundation to go on very smoothly without getting dry patches.

Pros:

-very hydrating

-absorbs easily

-less dry patches if used under foundation

Cons:

-has a rose scent which not everyone may like. 

Overall:
5/5 

Review: Sulwhasoo Gentle Foaming Cleanser

 I have recently been introduced to Sulwhasoo, a korean skincare line which features oriental herbs as their ingredients. The first product that I have tried from them is the Gentle Cleansing Foam. From what the sales associate told me, its main ingredient is ginseng and  could be used for all skin types but would be especially for my dry winter skin. 

The texture of this cleanser comes out as a gel which foams up a LOT. I pump it into a bowl and then beat it up with a cleansing brush. The foam is dense, get feels gentle on my skin. This cleanser does remove some face makeup but I usually prefer getting off all my makeup with a cleansing oil or makeup wipe first.  What I like about this cleanser is that it does not make my skin dry and I dont get the tight feeling  after rinsing as I do from other cleansers. It has also helped to make my face brighter and I feel like this made my skin absorb other skincare products better.  

Pros:
-doesnt dry out skin and cleans very well
-foams up a lot
-makes skintone brighter

Cons:
-may not remove a lot of makeup

Overall:
5/5
