Hello ♥
As you might have read, I purchased a sample-sized jar of Laneige Water Sleeping Pack with my previous ebay haul. I’m still looking for a good night cream and until now I just used the same moisturizing creams I used during daytime in the night. I have the feeling that I should change this habit soon and put on some more nourishing creams during the night.
Now, I tested Laneige Water Sleeping Pack, a gel-cream to use one to two times a week during night.
Here is the description from the official site of Laneige:
Light gel-type texture provides intensive hydration, vitality, and brightening effect while restoring skin with deep relaxation.
Product benefits:
Night time skin transmission (permeability) shows higher rate than the one in the day time.
Applying it right before sleep time, the best state for the skin transmission according to the skin circadian rhythm, maximizes the efficiency of overnight water supply.
The function of skin remarkably declines in the night time. Enriched with Beta-glucan, Water Sleeping Pack_EX deeply hydrates fatigue and dry skin while Ceramide SLN formula strengthens the skin barrier.
With containing the Snow Water, it helps to keep your skin look more crystal clear and vitalized.– Antioxidant effect of Hunza Apricot Extracts helps brighten skin tone evenly by removing harmful oxygen and purifying skin.

Everybody sensitive to scents can stop reading here, because this pack has a noticable scent. Laneige calls it “Sleepscent”. It’s a flowery, calming scent that I personally like a lot. I got used to the fresh scent of Missha Super Aqua Marine Stem Cell Cream that I use day and night, but I like Laneige’s scent a lot better. The gel-cream structure of the pack cools the skin while applied and absorbs quickly into the skin without making it greasy or oily. That’s quite important for me, if I consider to use it during night, since I don’t want to have a greasy pillow next morning :D
Honestly, I’m not sure if the “Sleepscent” is the reason why I fell asleep soon, or it was just me being so tired XD but for me this scent is kind of calming. Nevertheless, I couldn’t see any skin brightening effects, just my skin felt moisturized and soft the next day. All together I would say it is a nice alternative in the night care routine. Anybody interested should consider buying a sample-sized jar containing 20 ml for about 5 to 6 US$. The full-sized jar contains 80 ml and costs US$26.99 at cosmetic-love for example.

I joined several blogger networking sites recently. Since GFC seems to end soon, I hope I provided enough alternatives for everybody interested in following my blog. Just have a look at my sidebars :) Or if you know any important networks I missed don’t hesitate and write a comment ♥
[…] The scent is like with the other sheet mask I reviewed very pleasant and calming and reminds me of Laneige’s Sleeping Pack. Since I used these patches only one time I cannot say anything about their whitening effect. After […]
