REVIEW ON CHARMZONE SAMPLES-GINGKO NATURAL FOAM CLEANSING CREAM, ALBATROSS POWDER SUN SPF41 PA++&ALBATROSS WATERFUL CC CREAM

Charmzone is a mid range Korean brand.  They are famous for their ginkgo based skincare products and mostly target people above 40 years old.

It is not a roadshop brand so it is not as popular because of the less mentioned by others.
I got to try three samples- Charmzone Gingko Natural Foam Cleansing Cream,Charmzone Albatross Powder Sun SPF41 Pa++ & Albatross Waterfull CC Cream
Here are short review on them.

CHARMZONE SAMPLES-Charmzone Gingko Natural Foam Cleansing Cream, Charmzone Albatross Powder Sun SPF41 Pa++



CHARMZONE SAMPLES-GINGKO NATURAL FOAM CLEANSING CREAM, ALBATROSS POWDER SUN SPF41 PA++&ALBATROSS WATERFUL CC CREAM
GINGKO NATURAL FOAM CLEANSING CREAM, ALBATROSS POWDER SUN SPF41 PA++&ALBATROSS WATERFUL CC CREAM

1. Charmzone Gingko Natural Foam Cleansing Cream
Contains 600mg of gingko extracts
This cleansing cream's fine and rich foam cleans pores, provides moisture while cleansing, and reduces stretching and greasiness in skin with its plant extracts.
150g All skin types



Review: The cleansing cream turns into soft thick creamy foam with contact with some water.  It smells faint of fresh green plants and cleanses the skin well without irritation.  The skin is soft but not overly dry which is enjoyable.  It is a good milk cleanser for all skin type.  The price is of the higher end though.


2.  Charmzone Albatross Powder Sun SPF41 Pa++
Proves its quality with just a single use
A sunscreen which leaves you feeling soft and dry and smooth like being powdered Provides UV protection & functions as a makeup base
Can be used on all skin types.
70ml
All skin types

Review:  It has titanium dioxide and zinc oxide.  It comes up in form of slight yellowish opaque white cream but turn into slightly powdery satin finished after a minute on contact with the skin.  The satin feeling does last few hours under the cc cream and this sunscreen doesn't cause the makeup to pile on the skin.  There is a slight white cast on the skin if I am not wearing foundation.  It smell of perfume which disappeared once I top something on top.
It is a good sunscreen if it is not for the fact that I am easily irritated by the titanium dioxide in it.


3. Charmzone Albatross Waterfull CC Cream
Contains 30% birch sap
Two functions in one touch: skin care & makeup
30 g
Can be used on all skin types.

Review: It has titanium dioxide and zinc oxide.  This is supposed to care for skin while providing some for of coverage for the skin.  It has birch sap which is hydrating to the skin and protect the skin from wrinkles and premature ageing.
It comes out in very light brownish cream since it is a CC cream and you are supposed to use the finger to go in a circle until the colour turn.  It was still a shade lighter than my skin tone so I don't particular like it.
Skin does feel moisturise but I guess the cc cream is more suitable for dry skin type than mine.  The coverage is light so scars can be seen through the cc cream.  It has a perfume smell to it to but the smell disappeared after 30minutes or more.



Overall, since I only get to try three things, I think I will try the cleanser which I think is great if I have to choose among the three samples that I have tried.  The other two samples are just not suitable for my skin that don't work well with titanium dioxide.



Products are available online at Lazada, Sasa and also in Isetan KLCC, Malaysia.
