Skinfood Black Sugar Perfect Essential Scrub 2x


This is the second black sugar scrub I had from Skinfood. The first one I tried was the Skinfood Black Sugar Mask Wash off. I believe this one is the upgraded version of the black sugar wash off.


The black sugar line is the famous line from Skinfood and has been part of every korean skin care of most beauty bloggers. 

This tub was purchased from Korea when my friend / manager went there last time. It comes in a 210g dark brown tub which is bigger compared to the mask wash off of the same variant I had last time in a white small tub. 


This skincare introduces the following features and functions:

Bio-tone up
Skin Renewup
Multi Fruit Complex

This is a scrub type that removes dead skin, improves skin texture and skin tone, moisturize and helps brighten skin.

I use it twice a week as this works as an exfoliator and just enough to shy away the blackheads and whiteheads on my sensitive skin. I have been using this for months now and I think it is quite effective. My skin feels soft and clean after washing off the mask. 

Apply it gently on a slightly wet face and scrub it in a round motion very softly avoiding the eye areas. I usually put a lot on the nose area where my blackheads mostly are. leave it for 15-20 minutes and rinse it off.


Major ingredients:

Sucrose (76660.5 mg), macademia seed oil, meadowfoam seed oil, shea butter, evening primrose oil, olive oil, Camellia Oleifera Seed Oil, jojoba seed oil, brown sugar extract (210 mg), fermented rice, filtered water, lemon extract, apple extract, orange extract, papaya fruit extract, Lepidium meyenii root extract, Sarcodon, Aspratus extract



MISSHA Time Revolution Night Repair Science Activator Ampoule


Another MISSHA product I got is the Time Revolution Night Repair Science Activator Ampoule. Include this essential activator ampoule daily in your nighttime routine to get smooth and firm, beautiful skin. It provides your skin with extra nutrients and moisture lacking from your basic skincare.


This ampoule energizes, repairs, and restores elasticity. It also provides wrinkle repairing and whitening benefits. It has multi-vitamin complex ~ vitamins and vitamin derivatives, including vitamin C that creates a synergy effect with lactic acid ferment ingredients to help recover the condition of the skin.


The key ingredients would be: 
Bifida Ferment ~ strengthens skin barrier to prevent damages and improve the skin for a more vitalized condition.
Lacobacillus Ferment ~ protects the skin for a clean, healthy condition.
Lactococcus Ferment ~ strengthens and soothes sensitive skin for a healthier condition.




I was curious when they say it's the complete science behind beautiful skin. Include it as part of your day and night routine. However, I chose to use the ampoule in my nighttime routine to get smooth and firm, beautiful skin.



It provides skin with extra nutrients and moisture. The ampoule energizes, repairs and restores elasticity. It also provides wrinkle repairing and whitening benefits. It's recommended to people who are in their late 20s - early 40s. If you want to experience prompt improving of the skin condition and have more elasticity this is the product for you. 



The product comes in a hard glass bottle and a dropper to control the ampoule from the product.

MISSHA Time Revolution The First Treatment Essence

Missha Time Revolution First Treatment Essence is a so-called 'miracle water' and has been an amazing part of every korean skin care haul.

I was just as curious as everyone who takes korean skin care seriously (^_^) so, along with my sister and friends, we ordered our own bottle.


THE FIRST TREATMENT ESSENCE improves fine lines and skin tone. The miracle water hydrates, restores, rejuvenates, and gives you a glowing complexion. 
This essence claims to be a skin repairing essence containing 80% fermented yeast concentrate to nourish skin and enhance cell turnover. Also contains Niacinamide, a Vitamin B3 component, to improve skin elasticity, enhance skin barrier function, and revive skin tone and texture. DN-Aid, made from Cassia-Alata Extract, provides vitality to aging skin, protects DNA from aging caused by UV rays, and PROMOTES restoration of damaged DNA.



Functions:
Repair and nourish skin on a cellular level
Brighten and revive skin tone
Improve skin elasticity
Enhance skin's barrier function

I became curious as well how yeast was as important to be the top ingredient of this essence. YEAST is a naturally fortified Vitamin B Group. Vitamin B supports and increases the rate of metabolism and maintains healthy skin. Recently, more researches prove fermented yeast extract to be a good source for skin care products.

Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate, Bigida Ferment Lysate, Propanediol, Niacinamide, Polyquaternium-51, Ulmus Davidiana Root Extract, Betaine, Amaranthus Caudatus Seed Extract, Pirper Methysticum Leaf/Root/Stem Extract, Beta vulgaris (Beet) Root extract, Phellodendron Amurense Bark Extract, Cassia Alata Leaf Extract, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Pentylene Glycol, Water, Trehalose, Disodium EDTA, Hydrolyzed Corn Starch, Adenosine, Ethylhexylglycerin, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Raffinose, Tromethamine, Acetic Acid, Lactic Acid, 1, 2-Hexanediol, Caprytyl Glycol, Hexapeptide-9 Phenoxyethanol, Potassium Sorbate

I only applied the first treatment essence here in my photos and no filter at all. I am using my Samsung Galaxy J7 I recently bought (November 2016). So my photos are updated.. adding them now dated Dec. 28, 2016 after using half of the MISSHA bottle. Don't mind my eye bags please. ^_^
I only shaded my eyebrows here.. I only used the essence and no bb cream or anything.. ^_^



Gomawo~~~~~ see you again... on my next blog!
