The other side of the puff. I can only stick two fingers in there for the fear that the strips might break. It is better than the previous puff version since this is quite flexible but not sure how far I can strain the strips more than three fingers.

Clio Kill Cover Liquid Founwear Ampoule Cushion SPF 50 PA+++

Soft peach colour puff to pick up the liquid and pat on the face.

Clio Kill Cover Liquid Founwear Ampoule Cushion SPF 50 PA+++

There are three shades-lingerie, linen and ginger. Lingeries (rose tone) and linen are both available in shade 21. Ginger is in shade 23.
The one I have here is the 3BY Linen #21. It is has a yellow based to neutralize the redness on the face.
The shades 21 is lighter than my original colour by a tone.

The packaging is sleek and professional. It is made from sturdy plastic which doesn't break even when it accidentally fell on the floor because of my carelessness. The cushion puff is springy and soft. It easy to pick up the products with the cushion puff.

The cushion foundation in 3BY Linen #21 gives me a glowy finish, covers my redness, covers the red scars and makes my pores invisible XD. Honestly, if you have oily skin type, 'glowy' is going to make you look oily. The coverage is buildable from medium to high coverage. It has the finish of liquid foundation but in a cushion form XD. It does settle a little on my laugh lines which is normal since I have expressive laugh lines but that happens even with my most long wear base products. My face was still having that glowy dewy look despite the humidity and 10 long hours of wear. The cushion doesn't break me out or clogged my pores. My skin condition was still the same when I removed it.

It is not rub proof so avoid touching the face with the cushion on. Also, I tested it without powering or using a primer because I wanted to test the hours of wear. The makeup will be more lasting and less dewy if you add a primer and powder. As for the scent, I don't think I can smell anything so that is good because I don't really strong smell.

Since it is makeup, don't rely on the cushion for sunscreen since it won't be enough to protect your skin. Still I do like it because it has added sunscreen in it.

Overall, Clio Kill Cover Liquid Founwear Ampoule Cushion SPF 50 PA +++ is a good cushion to provide your with the glow and it is easy to carry around for touch up. It is more suitable for dry skin type or combination skin or if you find most cushion too drying or patchy by the end of the day. If you have issues with dullness go for the Lingerie #21 (rose tone) and for redness go for the Linen.
If you have oily skin type, it is better to go for the Clio matte cushion.

REVIEW ON MANYO FACTORY GALACTOMYCES NIACIN EXTRA ESSENCE

Fermented skincare products has been the 2016 trend for their benefits and botanical ability to heal the skin gentle and for those that are afraid of adventurous products such as snails. It is a favourite anti ageing ingredients for all ages.

I am not really interested in fermented skincare products until this Manyo Factory Galactomyces Niacin came along and this is currently one of the popular fermented products with 500,000 bottles sold in these 3 years. I was really curious as what are the result of this essence on my skin. I can't also overlook the affordable price too.

Before this, I have only came across this brand from Caniputitonmyface blog. She is very honest in her review so when something caught her love, I do keep the brand in my mind and check them out. If you love sheet masks, do check her blog out.

Manyo Factory Galactomyces Niacin

Introduction
Manyo Factory is the famous korean brand that produces the new generation skin care and beauty cosmetic products made of natural organic ingredients, non-containing artificial fragrances or preservatives adapted to any skin type. The products have a short shelf life (~1-2 years unopened, ~6 month after opened) and are certified by Ecocert, USDA Organic, Ellead, German Cert, Organic Soil Association and other international organizations.
Thoroughly selected formulas, high quality ingredients and excellent treatment results have made Manyo Factory products so popular and successful in retail sales. In just 3 years, the Manyo Factory brand has become known in more than 20 countries.

GALACTOMYCES NIACIN EXTRA ESSENCE MEGA BESTSELLER!

Galactomyces Niacin extra essence in 97% consists of yeast rice fungus Galactomyces extract, Niacinamide, sodium hyaluronidase. The essence effectively restores the skin's vitality, evens skin tone, fights pigmentation of various kinds, moisturizes, soothes irritated skin, minimizes pore size and prevents inflammation.

Galactomyces is the extract of yeast fungus obtained by the fermentation process. Yeast fungus contain large amounts of vitamins A, b and R, as well as elements such as calcium, iron, zinc, iodine, folic acid. Galactomyces extract intensively moisturizes skin, increases its immunity and protects skin cells from harmful exposure to UV rays, accelerates the synthesis of collagen and glycoproteins, thereby improving the protective mechanisms of the skin. The skin becomes elastic and tight.

Niacinamide helps to reduce visible signs of aging, improves tone, reduces signs of hyperpigmentation, lightens discolorations, and traces of post-acne, helps to regulate sebum production, gradually normalizing it. One of the most powerful feature of Niacinamide is the ability to effectively remove the spots left on the skin after acne and pimples.

Sodium hyaluronidase helps to preserve moisture during 24 hours.

Manyo Factory Galactomyces Niacin

The bottle is made from transparent heavy glass so be careful. I like the dropper since I can control the amount of essence use and it does feel like medicinal bottle XD. Use up the products within 6 months.

I do like that the Manyo Factory Galactomyces Niacin has simple short ingredients and the ingredients are plant based. Still do check the ingredients list provided. 97% of the ingredients consists of yeast rice fungus Galactomyces extract so it is really high in fermented ingredient. It is best to put inside the fridge since I don't see any preservatives in it. I didn't but it still works > < . Please do not take the risk like I do.

Manyo Factory does made feasible claims that 10 days of improve skin tone, 20 days of removing skin troubles and 30 days of skin brightening. I think it is a good thing so that we can be more realistic of what the product can do instead of expecting instant results. You do need to be patient as I can only see results starting from the second weeks of usage.

I am going to be honest that this Manyo Factory Galactomyces Niacin is a great fermented essence with great ingredients in it that it does help and reduce the severity of my acne. I have allergic to milk but just can't stop myself so I still break outs but it was not that bad when I am using this niacin essence. It does improve my skin texture and my pores looks smaller because of the hydration. So, I think it would be thoughtful for me to not expect this to get rid of severe acne problem. This helps to reduce the severity, hydrates the skin but you will need to use a spot treatment if you have more than mild acne. Please do not rely it on just this product alone to get rid of acne.

It doesn't have any added fragrance so it smells much like plasticky but the smells disappeared quickly into the skin. The transparent essence absorbs into my skin fast and doesn't leave anything behind so I can follow it up with other skincare products. It does improve the skin texture, calm and heal the acne on my jaw and brighten my skin. It is a good product to have in conjunction with other acne products.

Overall, Manyo Factory Galactomyces Niacin will be suitable for skin that love fermented Galactomyces, niacinamide for the brightening, light hydration, gentle, damaged red skin and loves plant products. Even oily skin will like as it is really light =).

Product retails for
Manyo Factory Galactomyces Niacin 50ml for USD26. Made in Korea
Available on Amazon

Hansaeng Cosmetics RIN Bi-gyeol Yun Cream

The glass jar is also very pretty and well crafted.

Hansaeng Cosmetics RIN Bi-gyeol Yun Cream

The cream.

Hansaeng Cosmetics RIN Bi-gyeol Yun Cream

The two layers jar is made from glass and has a good quality printing that won't fade or disappeared even when I was holding it with oily greasy fingers. It is heavy so be careful when handling it. The jar is made to have the same colour as the cream itself.

The yellowish cream smells differently from the Hansaeng Cosmetics RIN Bi-Gyeol Soo Cream. This has slightly stronger flowery fragrance than the Soo Cream but it is not overwhelming which disappeared once it is on the skin. The opaque yellowish cream is so smooth and glides without friction on the skin during application of the cream. It does have better occlusive feeling and works great as a night cream. I can only use it on my fine lines and around my mouth since petrolatum tend to be heavy on my skin type. It hydrates and moisturise the fine lines well so I don't have to use a sleeping pack at night. For those who have dry flaky skin which is really hard for makeup to go on the skin, using this cream makes makeup goes on a lot better.

This Hansaeng Cosmetics RIN Bi-Gyeol Yun Cream does contains a lot of plants products, occlusive ingredients, fragrance and colouring. Do check the ingredients to know if there are ingredients that doesn't work well for your skin.

I am not sure what happens but it had never irritate my skin but it sure can give me clogged pores if I use too much of it since I am living in country with temperature of 35 Celsius(95 F) and 90% humidity. I am sure that this Yun cream will work great during winter when the skin tends to lose moisture easily.

Overall, it is a hanbang cream for one with dry skin type, can handle petrolatum and looks for anti ageing skincare products. If you don't need something with petrolatum, then probably look for the Hansaeng Cosmetics Rin Bi-gyeol Soo Cream which has ingredients more suitable for combination skin type. These two are similar in the ingredients and they are also for people who love Oriental medicinal skin care products.
