Review: Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin Drop

7. December 2015

// PSR SAMPLE / SKINCARE / KBEAUTY //

I’ve mentioned a couple of times that I love including vitamin C serum in my skincare routine. I’ve tried a couple of them already, but Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin Drop was not on my list yet. I was very happy, that Wishtrend asked me whether I wanted to try this rather newly launched vitamin C serum because I’ve been very happy with all of the Klairs products I tried so far. Let’s see how the Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin C Serum performs!

Klairs is a Korean brand sold on Wishtrend. It is eco-friendly, claiming to produce products which are animal-testing-free, alcohol-free, paraben-free, and artificial-color-free. Their products address people with sensitive skin and people who want to moisturize their skin. I reviewed some of their products before, like the Klairs Illuminating Supple BB Cream or the Klairs Gentle Black Cleansing Combo, which both convinced me in their effects. I also did like the Klairs Klairs Supple Preparation Facial Toner, which by the way has been updated and improved recently to a larger volume and more moisturizing ingredients. But let us return to the Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin Drop for this post.

Klairs is known for very simple packaging design, reminding me of the brand Kiehl’s for example. compared to the other products the Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin C Serum has not just a simple black and white packaging but has imprinted a holographic illustration of the bottle on the cardboard box. I really love how colorful the packaging is, depending on where the light shines on it. And yet, the packaging design is clean like we are used to from this brand. The vitamin C serum comes in a clear, thick plastic bottle with a dropper…WAIT?! What? A clear bottle for a vitamin C serum?! But we know that vitamin C oxidizes with sunlight exposure. This is the reason while a serum like C20 is packed in a brown glass bottle! A closer look at the bottle reveals the sentence: “Hybrid Stabilization Technology”. It seems the ascorbic acid used in this serum is stabilized and thus not so prone towards oxidization according to Klairs. I know that ways to stabilize vitamin C are ferulic acid or vitamin E. Both of these are not included in the ingredient list as far as I can tell. Another way to have stabilized vitamin C is to use derivates. I see that the ingredient list contains also Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, which is a stable and water-soluble derivate of ascorbic acid. Nevertheless, I still do not know how they manage to stabilize the ascorbic acid listed as the third ingredient in the list. The product description it is stated that you should keep the product cool, dry and avoid its exposure to sunlight.…okay, why don’t they just make the bottle darker then?! Maybe because of the content of only 5% of vitamin C the effect of whether vitamin C is still stable or already oxidized is too small to feel the difference? I don’t know to be honest. I would recommend you store it in a dark place or simply inside the cardboard box anyways…

Compared to 20 % vitamin C which you can find in OST C20 Vitamin C serum 5 % sounds like nothing. So what is the advantage of using a higher dose of vitamin C in your serum? Vitamin C is an antioxidant and thus can prevent our skin from aging too early and from sun-damage. A high concentration of Vitamin C doesn’t mean automatically that it is more effective concerning anti-aging. Normally, a high concentration of Vitamin C aims at a visible effect, because it tends to operate as a chemical peeling by loosening dead and old cells. This is not a bad effect and stimulates the skin to regenerate itself, but keep in mind that it won’t affect the inner cell layers of your skin which have to be aimed if you really want an anti-aging effect. I know that for many the C20 Vitamin C serum with its high concentration is to harsh on the skin. With 5 % vitamin C serum you won’t have any problems with using it on sensitive skin, but you also won’t have the effect of regenerating skin. The benefit of the Klairs lies much more in the combination of all the ingredients together. You can check out the ingredients on COSDNA. The second key ingredient of Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin Drop is that vitamin C is paired with Centella Asiatica extract. Centella Asiatica extract has various benefits since it has anti-bacterial, smoothing and soothing properties. Triterpenes are one of the key compounds within the Centella Asiatica extract. They stimulate the synthesis of collagen and fibronectin with the skin cells. One of the subgroups of the triterpenes (madesaddoside) has shown positive effects on wrinkles and sun-damaged skin in combination with vitamin C. Apart from these two key ingredients you will find a bunch of other plant extracts with different moisturizing and anti-bacterial properties, which round up the formula of this serum.

The included dropper makes it easy to use the product. The serum has a clear color and is slightly runnier than oil. Unlike the C20 serums, this vitamin C serum doesn’t feel like water either but has a similarity to light oil or ampoule. When you distribute it on your face it has a smooth feeling. Additionally, the serum also has kind of a warming effect on the skin. I was really surprised about the formula, because it really reminded me of facial oil first, but didn’t make the face look greasy. It gives your skin a nice glow though. The scent is a citrus-herbal-lavender scent to me, but it is not overpowering.

Since I didn’t use it for a long time yet, I cannot show you any long-term effects, but even if I could I think you would not see much of a difference because my skin has been in a good condition for quite a while now. I can say for sure that it is much milder than the C20 vitamin C serums, yet, on the other hand, I don’t think that you can call this a pure vitamin C serum because of the low concentration. The main reason why this serum is great and probably efficient for many is the combination of the ingredients and especially the combination of vitamin C with Centella Asiatica extract.

I’m really fond of Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin Drop because of the mild and pleasant formula and the benefits it combines by the combination of the two key ingredients vitamin C and Centella Asiatica. If you have sensitive skin I definitively recommend you this over the C20 serums, but if you are looking for a chemical peeling effect and quick renewing of your skin I still say that the C20 serums are better suited. I’d rather call the Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin C Serum not a pure Vitamin C serum. It is more a great combination serum of a bunch of great ingredients with nice long-term effects. You could call it a cell-renew serum or something like this, but it is totally worth a try! You can get the Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin Drop on Wishtrend for 23.00 US$.

Review: Chica y Chico Astazet 4.0

16. November 2015

// KBEAUTY / AFFILIATE LINKS / SKINCARE //

I know that many people have concerns with hyperpigmentation, freckles and dark spots from old or newer breakouts. All of these are natural, but still, we want to get rid of such flaws as quickly as possible, and so skincare products with whitening and mark care properties are usually products which interest me most. I posted on Instagram that I was using the Chica y Chico Astazet 4.0 Damaged Spot Clearing Facial Cream, and I know that many of you are curious about this product. Nevertheless, instead of posting a quick review, I wanted to use it for several weeks/months before I gave my impression for this product. After all, I ended up using the tube almost completely, but here is finally my review:

The first time I knew about the brand Chica y Chico is from Wishtrend. Honestly, apart from their super exaggerated advertorial images, I do not know much about this Korean brand. The products available at Wishtrend always look quite interesting though. They also have an official page >>here<< where you can check for all their product range. The Chica y Chico Astazet 4.0 is a cream in a series of functional skincare creams. Each cream targets a specific problem, so the Chica y Chico Astazet 4.0 contains as key ingredient Astaxanthin and has whitening and mark care properties, but there is also the Beta-Salic 2.0 (chemical peeling containing Betaine Salicylate), the Retinolin 3.0 (wrinkle care containing Retinol Q), the Tota-S 3.0 (acne care containing Totarol), the Tre-Hy 8.0 (moisture care containing Trehalose), and the Suntana 8.0 (sunscreen). I’ve also tried and used the Chica y Chico Retinolin 3.0 and the Beta-Salic 2.0, but the reviews are still upcoming.

All these functional skin care products have a similar style in their packaging: They are simple and clean in their design, each of the products has a signature color. The Chica y Chico Astazet 4.0 has an orange signature color. There is a thick orange bar where the percentage of the key ingredient is written on, which is 4 % in this case. The tiny tube containing 30 ml comes in a cardboard box. Mostly, the information on the box is written in Korean, but some of the description and the direction is written in English, too. I used this cream every morning as my daily moisturizer for around 3 months. As the directions suggest, I applied a small amount all over my face, then reapplied the cream on my main focus areas. On lazy days I only applied one layer.

You can find the ingredients of the Chica y Chico Astazet 4.0 on COSDNA. The key ingredient of the cream is the Astaxanthin, as I mentioned before. This ingredient is a strong antioxidant, so it helps the skin to recover from sun-induced damages by influencing the Melanin activity. According to the description of the product, Astaxanthin is 100 times more effective than Vitamin C or E. apart from the Astaxanthin the cream contains fermented extracts from different plants, Niacinamide, and extracts from a tropical plant called Urucum, which also is supposed to protect the skin from sun damage and oxidative stress. Generally, the ingredients look quite nice, but I will advise you to check the ingredients lists anyways, just in case there are any irritant ingredients for you.

The Chica y Chico Astazet 4.0 has a thick consistency and a yellowish color. It spreads thickly, so I would advise you not to put too much on your skin at once but work it into your skin in layers. Once absorbed it leaves the skin matte and doesn’t peel, doesn’t feel sticky and doesn’t look greasy. The finish is nice to work with during the daytime and it didn’t cause me any problems using my other products or makeup.

Speaking of other products, of course, the before and after results, I’m showing below is a result of the combination of products I’ve been using within the last three months. Also, keep in mind that the time I took the images are in summer (before image) and fall (after image), that means that my skin color may also have changed due to the lack of sun for example. My main target where my sun spots/ freckles, which I have for more than a year now. You can see that the color of the freckles has been faded within the last months of using the Astazet 4.0. My general skin color has also brightened up. Apart from the Astazet 4.0 cream I’ve been using regularly Vitamin C serum (which I’m using for a very long time, so the changes are not caused by the vitamin C serum), Tosowoong Syn-Ake Natural Pure Essence and Missha’s Time Revolution The First Treatment Essence. These products have surely contributed to my skin brightening, but they are probably not responsible for the fading of the freckles.

Do I recommend the Chica y Chico Astazet 4.0? Yes. Will this cream give you guaranteed results? I cannot say since skincare is affecting every skin type differently! But there is a chance that your skin reacts similarly to mine. When you have a look at the ingredients you will see that it contains good and potentially effective ingredients and using anti-oxidants on your skin has never been a wrong idea after all. If you are interested in trying the Chica y Chico Astazet 4.0 you can get it from Wishtrend for 18.68 US$. You can check out my posts on the monthly Wishtrend coupons in order to get some extra benefits when shopping on Wishtrend. Also, keep in mind their friend-referral program: You can receive a 5 Us$ referral coupon if you use my invitation code 17939205 upon registration and you’ll receive this voucher immediately. There will be a specific field in your registration form called “friends invitation program” where you can put the code mentioned above. This way new customers can save 5 US$ which is a great possibility to save some money.

Review: Delight 18 I.U Whitening Cream Glutathione

11. November 2015

I’m a huge fan of products with waterdrop texture and I must confess that this was also the main reason why I bought the Delight 18 I.U Whiteining Cream Glutathione. Of course, the cute packaging and the fact that I didn’t try any product from this brand before were also some arguments, but mainly it was the fact that this product forms tiny water droplets while rubbing it into the skin. I had tried products like this before and I always loved the watery feeling. Other examples of products with waterdrop texture are the Lioele Water Drop Sleeping Mask and the Amaranth Messaline Ultra Hydrating Cream.

It seems Delight 18 is a new Korean brand and I’m really happy that Wishtrend introduced this brand in their shop. At the moment they offer 7 different products from this brand, but on the official page you will also spott a most adoreable cushion and some other products…I hope Wishtrend will have the cushion available soon. The Delight 18 I.U Whitening Cream Glutathione is a functional cream with whitening properties for the face. I.U stands for innocent (pure) and unison (harmony).

Although the packaging design is simple I really like it and think that it will be attracting many people mainly because of the packaging. The basic colors used are black, white and red. Somehow this design reminds me also of the Tonymoly Shaking Tint Delight …is it a coincidence that both of the have the word “Delight” in their names?! The description on the packaging of the Delight 18 I.U Whitening Cream Glutathione is in Korean only, but you will find the English description on Wishtrend.

The two main functions of the Delight 18 I.U Whitening Cream Glutathione is to whiten and to moisturize the face. The key ingredient for whitening is Glutathione, a tripeptide formed from the three amino acids cysteine, glycine and glutamic acid. It works as a major antioxidative and usually in our bodies prevents us from oxidative damage. It is also used as a whitener because of its ability to to inhibit the melanin synthesis. All the ingredients used in the Delight 18 I.U Whitening Cream Glutathione are listed on >>COSDNA here<< and you will see that the list of ingredients is quite short and positive. You will also find titanium dioxide for brightening and UV protection and also niacinamide. Nevertheless, I would still use a sunscreen, like with any other functional BB/CC cream.

Apart from the moisturizing ingredients in the formula the main key to give a feeling of hydration is the waterdrop-forming formula. Below you will see how the white thick Delight 18 I.U Whitening Cream Glutathione starts to form the tiny droplets by rubbing it into the skin. Because of this watery formula the product seems to glide over and into the skin and feels really refreshing. The scent is a clean, creamy scent, which is lingering on the skin. I do like it, because it is such a clean scent. By the way, don’t put too much cream on your face at once. Because of the formula it is better to apply little by little and rub it into the skin until absorbed before adding more. Oh, and the cream comes in a pump bottle, too, which makes it super easy to use and is more hygienic than a jar (the inside bottom moves up the more you use and if you look closely in the pictures you can see that I have used 1/5 of the total volume of 30g).

When applying the cream it will directly brighten up your complexion. The skin looks brighter and also less dull. Also, it corrects the skintone and makes your complexion look more even. It is also not sticky, nor dioes it have a greasy finish. The finish of the cream on its own is skin-like and neither glowy, nor satin-like. If you apply hydrating ampoules and creams underneath the Delight 18 I.U Whitening Cream Glutathione will keep the glow these products give you.

My verdict for the Delight 18 I.U Whiteining Cream Glutathione is really positive! I’ve been using this on my no-make-up days and I can just use it like this as a substitute for any BB cream or CC cream. If I want more coverage I still prefer using a BB cream or foundation, but for lazy days and an okay or good skin condition this is absolutelly perfect. It brightens up the skin and makes you appear more awake and healthy. I would definitively prefer this over any CC cream with low coverage, especially because of the hydrating water drop formula, which feels super nice on the skin. After being so positive about the Delight 18 I.U Whiteining Cream Glutathione I would love to try out other products from this brand! If you are interested in trying the Delight 18 I.U Whiteining Cream Glutathione you can get it from Wishtrend for 23.50 US$. You can check out my posts on the monthly Wishtrend coupons in order to get some extra benefits when shopping on Wishtrend. Also keep in mind their friend-referral program: You can receive a 5 Us$ referral coupon if you use my invitation code 17939205 upon registration and you’ll receive this voucher immediately.There will be a specific field in your registration form called “friends invitation program” where you can put the code mentioned above.

Review: ElishaCoy Moist Up Hyalurone Ampoule Toner

9. November 2015

After I used up the COSRX AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner, I stumbled over the ElishaCoy Moist Up Hyalurone Ampoule Toner, a multi-use toner for face and body containing hyaluronic acid. Moreover, it has a slightly acidic pH of 5.5 so it was a great substitution for my previously used pH adjusting toner. I really like this toner a lot and I’ve already used it half way up…sadly! :'(

Wishtrend has quite a range of ElishaCoy products and I usually do like their products, too. The brand is a Korean company focussing on natural ingredients. They are quite popular for their “Always Nuddy” BB creams. They also have a couple of sheet masks and I even reviewed one of their masks in the past (Aloe & Lavender Mask Sheet). The ElishaCoy Moist Up line consists of quite some products, which come in a pink signature color. Apart from the ElishaCoy Moist Up Hyalurone Ampoule Toner there is a cream, a cleansing water, a bubble cleanser, a serum, and a sleeping mask available on Wishtrend. The line is designed for moisturizing the skin with help of the key ingredient hyaluronic acid.

The ElishaCoy Moist Up Hyalurone Ampoule Toner comes in a 200 ml bottle made of hard plastic. The bottle is delivered in a cardboard box with a simple and yet beautiful flower design. The pink bottle itself looks really neat and pretty, too. The cardboard box has Korean and English descriptions written on it. The ingredients can be checked via COSDNA. The lists contains a lot of different fruit and plant extracts and moisturizing ingredients like panthenol, trealose, and the previously mentioned hyaluronic acid. It also contains niacinamide and biotin. The only irritating ingredient is alcohol, but although I usually feel with products containing alcohol that they are drying I do not have the feeling here.

According to the discription the minerals and fermented flower extracts in the ElishaCoy Moist Up Hyalurone Ampoule Toner help the skin to retain a balanced oil-moisture level of the skin. As you can see below the bottle is used up already halfway, and I didn’t experience any irritations or negative effects while using this toner. First thing you will notice with this clear toner with a liquid, waterlike consitency, is the scent! It has a fruity scent which I absolutelly love! I’m using a cotton pad and apply the toner on my face as first step after cleansing my face. The ElishaCoy Moist Up Hyalurone Ampoule Toner absorbs quickly and feels hydrating, leaving the skin soft and refreshed. It works also nicely with the products I’m usinmg afterwards and I had never had any problems of clumping or flaking of the layered products with this toner.

Honestly, I’m super obsessed with the ElishaCoy Moist Up Hyalurone Ampoule Toner! I love the packaging, the scent, the feel it leaves on the skin! My only concern is the alcohol, which might not work for senstive skintypes. Normally, when I’m using products containing alcohol my skin can react to it, but strangely, here I do not have any problems with the formula. The other ingredients included are really nice, too, and it has a pH between 5-6 (I remeassured with my own pH stripes), which is lovely, too. I like it so much that I ordered the ElishaCoy Moist Up Hyalurone Mild Cleansing Water recently, and I’m super eager to try it out and hopefully love it, too! If you are interested in trying the ElishaCoy Moist Up Hyalurone Ampoule Toner you can get it from Wishtrend for 23.99 US$. You can check out my posts on the monthly Wishtrend coupons in order to get some extra benefits when shopping on Wishtrend. Also keep in mind their friend-referral program: You can receive a 5 Us$ referral coupon if you use my invitation code 17939205 upon registration and you’ll receive this voucher immediately.There will be a specific field in your registration form called “friends invitation program” where you can put the code mentioned above.

Review: Skinmiso Pore Corset Serum

18. October 2015

Large pores are a skin concern that many of us have, especially with raising age the pores around our nose get more visible. Usually, most people just grab a primer and hide their pores instead of trying skincare products that try to tighten the pores. The Skinmiso Pore Corset Serum is exactly such a serum. It is supposed to have moiosturizing and tightening properties and to make the use of primers unnessesary over time. I was really curious how this serum would work on my pores, too, so I grabbed the chance and tried it myself.

Skinmiso is a Korean brand which is sold on Wishtrend. I tried the Skinmiso Rice Foam Cleanser previously, and it was a good cleansing product, but a bit drying for dry skintypes. The Skinmiso Pore Corset Serum is quite popular product by Skinmiso and I have read a couple of reviews where the serum showed good effects on the pores. The packaging design o Skinmiso products is simple and similar for all their products. They have a white and blue packaging design which looks kind of medical. Also the tiny cross next to the brand logo makes it look like medicine.

On the cardboard box of the Skinmiso Pore Corset Serum you will find mostly Korean, but also some English description. Wishtrend offers the full English description of the product. The ingredients are also listed on Wishtrend and you can find them on COSDNA, too. The Skinmiso Pore Corset Serum contains some irritating ingredients, so be sure to check previously and to patch test before using it regulary.

The Skinmiso Pore Corset Serum comes in a bottle with an included dropper. The bottle contains 30 ml of the product, but you cannot see through the bottle to check the amount of the serum. By holding the bottle against the light you might see a bit of a shadow though. Since it is a serum it is applied after your cleansing step and after toner. After applying the milky colored serum on the target areas you can tap with your fingers until the serum is absorbed. You will feel a tightening effect on your skin. It is recomended to wait 20 minutes after application to see the full effects of the serum.

I’ve used this serum for 2 weeks now and I can definitively say that I feel the tighteining effect it has on the skin. I also think that it gives a good moisture oil balance on the targeted area (I used it mainly on my T-zone and the area around my nose). By looking at my skin before and after the application I cannot see a difference in the size of the pores. Also not after having used it for two weeks. Maybe it takes longer to see visible effects. Nevertheless, since it helps my T-zone to be less shiny during the day I think that especially people with combination or oily skin might like to try this product.

Since I feel a tighteining effect and I like the oil-moisture balance the product delivers I will continue to use the Skinmiso Pore Corset Serum. If I will see any visible changes I will be updating this post. So far I can definitively say that oily skintypes and combination skintypes might like to try our this serum, too. Skinmiso Pore Corset Serum retails at Wishtrend for 32.99 US$. You can check out my posts on the monthly Wishtrend coupons in order to get some extra benefits when shopping on Wishtrend.

Wishtrend October 2015 Coupons

17. October 2015

I know . I know, October almost ended and I’m super late in posting these Wishtrend Coupons for October. Nevertheless, I hope it still can be helpful for some of you. You can use these new Wishtrend coupons and gifts for your shopping experience at Wishtrend. If you don’t know Wishtrend, but love Korean or Asian cosmetics and skincare products I can recommend you to check out their online shop, especially for one of my favorite products, the O.S.T. Vitamin C Serum. You’ll also find some products sold at Wishtrend on my Top 20 favourite product list for 2014,like the Klairs Gentle Black Deep Cleansing Oil. Also, they have listed brands like COSRX, Tosowoong and Mizon. You can find a list of all the products I reviewed from Wishtrend at the bottom of this post. Furthermore, they have really a great affiliate program for blogger and I can advice you to join it if you are one. Here are the Wishtrendcoupon codes for October:

Second, there is also a 10% discount Wishtrend coupon available for October. Below, you’ll find the coupon code for this:

Coupon Code: WISHOCT2015
Requirement 1: Shopping cart order must be 55 US$ and over to be able to use the 10% off coupon
Requirement 2: Coupon code cannot be combined with any other discount or voucher code.

The second promotion code is a special gift you will receive by using the code below. The voucher is valid on ANY orders at Wishtrend! This months free sample is a free Skinmiso Handy Cleansing Kit (3.30 US$ value). I’m really curious about these kits, and I already bought some with my last Wishtrend order. So let’s see!

Voucher Code: WISHGIFT2015OCT
ANY ORDER
Only valid until the end of October 2015

I would advice you to check out their “Free Shipping Area”, so you don’t have to spend the saved money for shipping costs. They have quite some nice items available there, changing from time to time. At the moment they are providing the OST Vitamin C serum for 14.99 US$ in their free shipping zone! Also, I spotted they have a new Wishbox containing a D.I.Y. cushion, which is really a supoer cute idea. I’ve used a D.I.Y. cushion before and it is really fun, and this kit by Wishtrend contains the cushion case, decoration stickers, BB cream, serum and sunscreen and is a great value in my eyes.

I did a couple of reviews on various Wishtrend products in the past. You might like to check these out, if you are interested in purchasing these:
