Hi :)
As you all know, I ordered a few
beauty items from yesstyle.com a few days ago and I’ve been testing out the
products. I really recommend you try out the website’s sample packs: they
come with 8 beauty items from either Japan or Korea and they
can be pretty much anything – from beauty masks to scrubs, serums, eye creams,
foundation etc.
Before we get into the review,
please note that this is a sample review. This is basically my first impression
of using the product and how it felt during the week that the sample lasted. I
feel that if I like a product on the first try, it means it did its job and so
I will most likely continue using it – your skin not reacting the same way 3
months into using the product doesn’t mean it’s gone bad, it just means that
you need to switch up your routine a bit because your skin has gotten used to
it.
With that being said, let’s move
onto the first product: SK-II Whitening Source Dermdefinition UV Lotion.
Here’s the product description,
as taken from the site
Formulated
with Theo-amino Acid, a potent antioxidant, and Pitter, the WS Dermdefinition
UV Lotion delivers the following skin benefits: spot prevention, tone
improvement, prevention of sebum oxidation, instantaneous penetration of active
ingredients and long lasting hydration. A noticeable improvement in skin
texture can be seen after a few days of use, while skin becomes healthier and
more vibrant with prolonged use. Use as the last step in a cleansing, toning
and moisturizing routine.
This is basically one of those
moisturizers that also does EVERYTHING else under the sun :P After just one
application, my skin looked smoother, more even, felt moisturized but also
looked mat, and the cream also has SPF 50+ protection! Foundation goes on a lot
easier after applying this product. Even though it is listed as a lotion, think
more of a face cream texture or sun screen (without the stickiness) as it is
very concentrated and a little goes a long way.
If you don’t feel like wearing
foundation or even BB cream but have some problems with uneven skin tone, this
is definitely a product to try out!
On the down side of things, it’s
a bit expensive (yesstyle has it for €60.82 for 30g of product) so it’s definitely an investment – but a good one, none the
less. If you find it anywhere else for less, please comment below so we can all
benefit :P
Stay tuned for more reviews of Japanese beauty products!
