Some of you might already know, but I have to mention that I have dry skin, especially in winter like now. I’m always looking for good moisturizing creams and one of my favourite moisturizers is Missha’s Super Aqua Ultra Marine Stem Cell Defending Cream, which was one of my first reviews on this blog :D I had high hopes for this Cream from Missha’s Super Aqua line and I was not disappointed.
The cream itself has a creamy, thick consistency, in contrast to the Missha super Aqua Marine Stem Cell Defending cream, which was a mixture between a cream and a gel. Due to the consistency of the cream, this product is very rich and a little amount goes a long way. If you use too much, your skin can not absorb it and it will look greasy. With the right amount it absorbs into the skin quickly and really makes the skin feel supple and soft. Actually, the fact that you only need a bit of the product each time, makes the price of the full size product quite okay. Although it is more on the expensive side of moisturizers generally seen. The full sized jar contains 47 ml and costs 30 US$. Like Missha’s Super Aqua Marine Stem Cell Defending Cream it contains a spatula to spoon out the product and keep it more hygienic. The scent of the cream is fresh, but pleasant in my eyes.
I thought this serum would be more fluid, like water, but it has a semi fluid consistency, like oil for example (but it is not oily!). Thus it is called Gel Serum, I guess ^_^”’ It absorbs super fast into the skin and makes it feel really nice. The skin looks in a way dewy and fresh and the feeling stays throughout the day.
Compared to the cream it is rather scentless, but also here the sample sachet only contains 2 ml which is enough for two times use at the most. The full sized product comes in a tube with a pump, which is convenient for this type of product. It contains 40 ml and costs around US$30. Actually I didn’t find this serum on Missha’s US site.
Aww… it looks so nice…
Maybe it’s about time for me to use my samples too… I got so many and almost never used them…

This is one of my new years resolutions: “use up all the samples” XD
Omg this is the one I have the most samples of too (that I didn’t buy). I’ve been trying to go down Time Revolution and then this but jeez I get way too many of these lol.
Yes, Missha samples overload XD I’m trying to use them all in the near future, but there is no end XD
Weird, I don’t think I’ve ever received this sample. The one I get most from places is some Tony Moly Dual Effect Sleeping Pack. Haha. :P I have so many samples right now to go through.
That’s for example a sample I never received XD Most of my samples are from Skinfood and Missha somehow…my new year’s resolution is to use them all XD
i have lots of samples too from missha. tried the cream before and my skin got irritated. I like Missha’s basic line though…oh you should have ordered last December, I believe the Ultra Waterfull line is included in their sale either 40% or 50% off
Most of the samples I have are either from Missha or from skinfood XD Yes, I saw their sale. But at this time I still had enough day and night creams XD
same here, I have lots of back-up
