Review: A by Bom Ultra Watery Eonseongcho Cleansing Foam

7. November 2019

//PR SAMPLE/KBEAUTY/SKINCARE//

A by Bom Ultra Watery Eonseongcho Cleansing Foam, a name that is hard to remember for non-Koreans, I guess. I had to doublecheck whether I wrote it correctly. But despite the spelling difficulties, I’m finally here with a review for this gentle cleansing foam.

A by Bom Ultra Watery Eonseongcho

Do you know A by Bom? A by Bom Cosmetics is another Kbeauty brand from the vast amount of increasing KBeauty brands on the market. Their motivation is to take care of people and nature. A.by BOM Cosmetics is made of natural ingredients of various vegetable oils and extracts such as rice, beans, camellia, jasmine, lotus, black teas, and so on. I reviewed the A by Bom Ultra Time Return Eye Cream before, which was perfect for anyone suffering from dry skin under or around the eyes. The A by Bom Ultra Watery Eonseongcho Cleansing Foam on the other hand, which I’m talking about today, is a very mild foaming cleanser suited for everyone.

The A by Bom Ultra Watery Eonseongcho Cleansing Foam promises a dense foam with non-irritating micro-bubble that cleans the pores and keeps the skin hydrated. Therefore, two key ingredients are used: 1. Phyto-Oligo complex and 2. Eoseongcho Extract. You might be wondering what Eoseongcho is after all, and if you are a skincare addict you have stumbled across this extract under another name: houttuynia cordata extract! Houttuynia cordata is great for skin conditioning and purifying. The foam cleanser contains 10000 ppm of the extract.  The Phyto-Oligo complex is a patented substance that contains Aloe Vera and Hollyhock. It has calming and moisturizing properties.

The full ingredients are listed below:

Water, Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate, Disodium Laureth,Sulfosuccinate, 1,2-Hexanediol, Houttuynia Cordata Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Althaea Rosea Flower Extract, Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Extract, Pteris Multifida Extract, Cynara Scolymus (Artichoke) Leaf Extract, Ulmus Davidiana Root Extract, Amaranthus Caudatus Seed Extract, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, Polyglycerl-10 Myristate, Citric Acid, Polyquaternium-39, Potassium Cocoate, Glycerin, Methylpropanediol, Butylene Glycol, Polyquaternium-51, Beta-Glucan, Fragrance 24

The product is paraben-free, sulfate-free, alcohol-free, silicone-free and free from EU allergens.

The A by Bom Ultra Watery Eonseongcho Cleansing Foam comes in a pump bottle containing 145 ml of product. The design is simple and yet cute with the green leaves all around.  In order to use it, you have to apply the foam on your damp skin and massage it. Afterward, you can rinse it off.  I used this foam cleanser as the second cleanser in my double cleansing routine. This means, that I used a cleansing oil or balm in order to remove make-up first. In a second step, I’m using the foam cleanser to remove the remaining dirt.  You can see the foam in the pics below.

You can see from the pics that the foam is not as dense as I thought, to be honest. Also, I had to pump more than 5-6 times to get a decent amount of the product into my hands. I’m suspecting, that the foam dispenser was somehow not working properly. I’m wondering whether the product has a denser consistency with a regular pump. If you tried this product yourself, let me know if you had the same problem with this product. On the other note, the foam itself was indeed very gentle and didn’t feel drying on the skin. The skin was feeling clean without feeling stripped of all its moisture. I also love the short ingredients list and the two key ingredients used here. Despite the defected pump, I emptied this product to the last drops-or foam :D

You can get your hands on the A by Bom Ultra Watery Eonseongcho Cleansing Foam for 24 US$ on BemusedKorea.

Review: A by Bom Ultra Time Return Eye Cream

18. November 2018

// PR SAMPLE / KBEAUTY / SKINCARE //

There are brands that you keep seeing all around, but somehow you never really get a chance to get your hands on them, or in my case, try to use up all your products lying at home before starting to open up anything new. A by Bom is one of these brands that I kept seeing all around and I was so curious how good or bad their products world perform for my skin. I was very happy to receive my first products from the brand by BemusedKorea some weeks ago. Luckily, one of the products was an eye cream and at the same time, my Erborian Bamboo Eye Gel was about to be finished. Perfect timing to exchange an old product with a new one! Here is my review for the A by Bom Ultra Time Return Eye Cream.

The A by Bom Ultra Time Return Eye Cream is a collagen-rich firming eye cream that comes in a rose gold pump bottle. A very elegant design, by the way, that looks good on every bathroom counter. The simple cardboard box of the product has the characteristic girl illustration on one side. The other sides are very simple and contain the Korean description of the product. Luckily, the ingredients were also listed on BemusedKorea, so I can also talk about them in the following.

According to SkinCarisma, the A by Bom Ultra Time Return Eye Cream is free from paraben, sulfate, and EU allergens. It does contain silicone and alcohol though. The alcohol is the only ingredient which might be critical for dry skin types and sensitive skin types. Other than that you will find a bunch of plant-based extracts in the first place. Some noteworthy ingredients are Blackberry extract, Maca Peptide, Poria Cocos Extract, Ginseng Berry and fermented extracts. The blackberries contain natural collagen boosters. They protect and energize the skin. Maca Peptides strengthen the skin. Poria Cocos Extract gives strength and nutrition, while ginseng berries and fermented extracts hydrate and soften the skin. Additionally, niacinamide has brightening properties, and royal jelly adds more nutrients. There are a lot of anti-aging ingredients, too: niacinamide, Adenosine, ceramides, and even Vitamin E.

If you look at the cream/balm-type texture you will already feel the protective layer that this eye cream creates. Thanks to Shea Butter and Mango Butter it feels very luxurious and rich. The balm texture feels satin-like and soft upon application and melts into the skin. You will fee a firming and cooling effect on your skin. The eye cream has a pleasant scent to me.

Once absorbed it is not visible any longer and is not leaving oiliness at all. But it will feel a bit tacky and firm when touched.

I personally love to use the A by Bom Ultra Time Return Eye Cream during the day. It creates a nice and rich protective film, especially in winter I love this kind of feeling. You can also use this cream on your lids and it doesn’t make the skin more greasy, for example. Of course, compared to my previous gel type eye cream from Erborian, it is not as cooling and moist, but it does have a refreshing feeling. I think that this eye cream makes a perfect replacement for my old one regarding the change of seasons here! At the moment, you can get your hands on the A by Bom Ultra Time Return Eye Cream for 39.20 US$ on BemusedKorea thanks to Black Friday Sales, which is 20% less than the regular price of 49US$!

Have you tried this eye cream? What are your thoughts on eye cream in general? Useful, or do you just use the same cream for your face on your eyes as well?
