Review: Iunik Calendula Complete Cleansing Oil

18. February 2019

// PR SAMPLE / SKINCARE / KBEAUTY //

As you might know, I love the double cleansing method. If you don’t know what it is, I can recommend you so much to try it. With the double cleansing method, you use an oil-based cleanser first to remove your makeup, and the continue with a second cleanser for cleansing your skin. In my eyes, oil cleansers and balm cleansers are the most effective way to remove makeup. Here is one of the oil cleansers that I’m using at the moment: the Iunik Calendula Complete Cleansing Oil.

Iunik Calendula Complete Cleansing Oil

IUnik is a Korean brand that has launched a couple of interesting skincare products. Their packaging design is simple but neat, and the products sound promising. you can check out the products >>here<< on the official webpage. I also reviewed the Iunik Rose Galactomyces Essential Toner and Synergy Serum some time ago here on my blog. I was happy and curious to try a new product from their range this time.

Iunik Calendula Complete Cleansing Oil

The Iunik Calendula Complete Cleansing Oil is a mild cleansing oil suitable for all skin types that contains 94% of pure plant oil. The packaging design is simple as expected for the brand and the ingredients list is short and down to the point, which I really like.

Iunik Calendula Complete Cleansing Oil

Ingredients: Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil,  Canola Oil, Calendula Officinalis Flower extract, Sorbeth-30 Tetraoleate, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil, Cananga odorata flower oil, Sorbitan Sesquioleate

This is the full ingredients list! 7 ingredients and 5 of them are plant-based oils. I love that fact. You can also check the ingredients via SkinCarisma if you want to. The product is free from parabens, sulfates, alcohol, silicone. It is EU allergen free and has a minimalistic ingredients list.

The cleansing oil comes in a pump bottle containing 200ml, which will last you for a long time. I’ve been using this cleanser now for 2 months in rotation with some other cleansers and I’ve used half of the bottle.

The texture is typical for an oil cleanser and feels like oil, too. it emulsifies when it is in contact with water. Usually, you apply cleansing oils on your dry skin and rub gently, to dissolve the makeup and the dirt. Then, using lukewarm water emulsify the oil on your face and work it in some more, before washing it off. Then, follow up with your preferred second cleanser. It perfectly removes the makeup and works great in my eyes. the short ingredients list is a plus if you are looking for products with limited irritation triggers. It doesn’t have any specific scent apart from a typical vegetable oil scent.

Iunik Calendula Complete Cleansing Oil

All in all, I think that many people will like this oil cleanser for a short and not complicated ingredients list. On the other hand, seeing the price tag of 21.99US$ is a bit high in my eyes, regarding that it is mostly vegetable oil used here. Some people might think that it is actually cheaper to mix up your own oil cleanser using some plant-based oils. What are your thoughts on this?

Review: iUnik Rose Galactomyces Essential Toner & Synergy Serum

25. January 2018

// PR SAMPLE / KBEAUTY / SKINCARE //

A while ago I was contacted by the Korean brand iUnik whether I would like to try and test their products. While browsing through their website I discovered the iUnik Rose Galactomyces Essential Toner and Synergy Serum and I knew that these would be the products that I would love to test. After all, I love roses and I love fermented ingredients.

iUnik Rose Galactomyces

IUnik is a newer Korean brand that has launched a couple of interesting skincare products. Their packaging design is simple but neat, and the products sound promising. you can check out the products >>here<< on the official webpage.

iUnik Rose Galactomyces

I selected the iUnik Rose Galactomyces Essential Toner and Synergy Serum because I love it when I have a serum and toner from the same line. Next to each other, they look very pretty and perfect. But not only from the outside, but the inside also contains some notable ingredients, too.

iUnik Rose Galactomyces

iUnik Rose Galactomyces Essential Toner

Let’s start of with the iUnik Rose Galactomyces Essential Toner. The toner has acne-fighting, brightening, and anti-aging properties. This toner helps to moisturize, re-balance and soften even sensitive skin types with rosa damascena flower water (70%) and galactomyces ferment filtrate (10%). Moreover, it is paraben-free, sulfate-free, and free from alcohol. The ingredients of the products can be checked via SkinCarisma. Rose Damascena flower water has anti-oxidative properties and acts skin conditioning. Fermentation extract is nutrient-rich. It contains many vitamins, amino acids, and proteins and helps to improve the moisture level of the skin. Adenosine has anti-aging benefits. Moreover, it contains Licorice extract, which has anti-inflammatory properties and acts brightening. The toner comes in a large bottle containing 200ml. the bottle is made from plastic and lightweight. The formulation is a clear and water-like one (I haven’t shown any pictures this time, because both look similar on them). It has a pleasant rose scent and absorbs quickly, leaving a tiny bit of tackiness behind. The skin feels very moist and nice after application and I feel it makes the skin feel more bouncy, too.

iUnik Rose Galactomyces Synergy Serum

The iUnik Rose Galactomyces Synergy Serum is dedicated to nourishing and pore control, as well as whitening and anti-aging properties. According to the description, it is especially great if you want to tackle your T-zone and even out the oil/moisture balance of the skin. You can check out the ingredients on SkinCarisma again. Here we have 50% Galactomyces ferment and 10% rose water. Other notable ingredients are niacinamide for brightening, allantoin for soothing, sodium hyaluronate for moisturizing and aloe extract for soothing. The serum comes in a glass bottle with a dropper attached. The consistency of the serum is not as watery as for the toner, but it is not very gel-like either. I feel that the rose scent is less noticeable than for the toner. The serum feels very moist and refreshing upon application and absorbs quickly, too. The skin feels more nourished than with the toner and kind of smooth, too. I’m at the last third of the bottle, but in terms of pore effects, I haven’t noticed any difference. I love the moisturizing and nourishing part though. Also, the serum works great with other products.

iUnik Rose Galactomyces

All in all, both products are really nice, and especially for the price and the moisturizing effects, I can only give it thumbs up. A pity, the serum didn’t show more effects on reducing the appearance of the pores, but then again, it does what I want from a rose and galactomyces product. Both products are moisturizing and softening the skin and they apply nicely with other products. You can buy iUnik products from unique4u.net.

iUnik Rose Galactomyces Essential Toner retails for 16.49 US$

iUnik Rose Galactomyces Synergy Serum retails for 14.99 US$
