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.

I only shaded my eyebrows here.. I only used the essence and no bb cream or anything.. ^_^

Etude House Moistfull Collagen Cream

I have been addicted to face creams lately. Recently, I just bought quite a few to make sure I have some on stock and try out those I am curious of.

I see there will be a battle of the creams. Ha ha! I just finished using this cream from Etude House and I loved it.

korean brand face creams~~
Honey Snail by Nella Fantasia; Honey Sleeping Pack by Holika Holika; Moistfull Collagen Cream by Etude House and Aqua Super Aqua Max by Nature Republic

I mentioned from my previous blogs that I am using the Etude House Moistfull Collagen line and had overall great results. So I added the collagen cream for the final step in my night skin care routine.
it comes with a spatula in the box

The moistfull collagen cream ingredients are composed of natural ingredients and no parabens and alcohol. 

weight: 75ml / 160 g
price: 985 php (approx)
scent: mild flowery scent

Hydrolyzed Collagen, Butylene Glycol, Cyclopentasiloxane, Glycerin, Cyclohexasiloxane, Glyceryl Polymethacrylate, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Cetearyl Alcohol, Adansonia Digitata Fruit Extract, Adansonia Digitata Seed Oil, Betaine, Kaolin, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Pca Dimethicone, Dimethiconol, Glyceryl Stearate, Sodium Polyacrylate, Stearic Acid, Silica, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/Vp Copolymer, Poloxamer 407, Polyglyceryl-3 Methylglucose Distearate, Phytantriol, Ppg-5-Laureth-5, Hydrogenated Polydecene, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Alcohol, Water, Disodium Edta, Phenoxyethanol, Fragrance


The product is filled to the top and it can be used for quite a long time. As it is the last step in my routine, it feels like sealing all the moisture of the products I used first and a small amount is fine. I make sure I use it all over my face and neck. 


No wonder this is one of Etude House best seller products in their list. It is definitely worth buying!~
It is very moisturising and I can say a very promising product indeed.
