REVIEW ON COSRX CLEAR FIT MASTER PATCH VS COSRX ACNE PIMPLE MASTER PATCH

Hi gorgeous,

Cosrx is a popular Korean brand for people dealing with acne and skin texture. Many swear by the effectiveness of Cosrx products.  Cosrx acne pimple master patch is one of the popular items to draw out the exudate, keep the area moist and clean.

Cosrx recently came out with Cosrx clear fit master patch which is the newer version of their most famous Cosrx acne pimple master patch. I got them from a lucky draw 😄 (so happy) .
Here is a review and comparison between Cosrx clear fit master patch and Cosrx acne pimple master patch.

a)The size of the pimple patches:
Cosrx clear fit master patch 18 patches (10mm X 18ea) . the medium size of the Cosrx acne pimple patch.

Cosrx acne pimple master patch 24 patches ( 7mm X 10ea + 10mm X 5ea +12mm X 9ea)


In terms of the pimple patches, there is only one size for the clear fit while the acne pimple has three size. So, it is kind of wasteful for someone that like to pick small size for their zits.

b)The look and build:

Clear fit-almost invisible and slightly raised in the middle of the patch. The white paper which the pimple patch is on is cut in half so that you can peel the paper, to reveal half of the pimple patches in which you can take with your finger. no scent.

Acne pimple- yellowish visible flat patch. the paper in which the patches are on is not cut so you have to peel the acne pimple using a tweezer. no scent.

Clear fit is invisible so you can wear it during the day.  The Acne pimple is still visible on my korean 22 skin colour actually but it will look invisible for those with darker tone. Also it is hard to cover with makeup too compare to the clear fit.

Clear fit doesn't come off the skin when the patch is full since the exudate fluid is contained in the middle. Acne pimple with the flat surface comes off easier when it is full with the exudate fluid. So, one will always need to check if it is full.

c) Function
Clear fit- suck up exudate (exudate is fluid from wound)
Acne pimple- suck up exudate

In term of ingredients, both has the same ingredients in the same sequence. No ingredients for treating acne. Pimple patches are not for preventing acne or rid of acne.  It doesn't work to clear up your skin if use alone.  Use it more as something to prevent infection.

Both of the clear fit and acne pimple function the same to me. It only works on whiteheads and not for cystic acne or those pesky underground acne.  The main function is to suck up the exudate fluid from the whiteheads.  So, when the water got sucked up by those patches, your pimple sure does look flat.  It is good to have for whiteheads to quicken the healing time and to prevent inflammation. Applying pimple patches on top my acne does prevent me from the feeling of picking the hell out of those pimples that keep showing its redness to me.



Overall, Cosrx clear fit master patch and Cosrx acne pimple master patch are both nice acne patches to prevent further inflammation of the acne or whiteheads. I prefer invisible clear fit since I can wear it to work and also under makeup without people asking what I am using.  It is just that one size makes it hard. It is waste to use the middle size for smaller pimples or there won't be size for big pimples that pass the size of the medium 10mm patches.

REVIEW ON SWANICOCO A.C CONTROL CARE EMULSION

Hi,

Swanicoco A. C control care emulsion is a line made for trouble skin which means acne prone skin type. I was mostly interested in this A.C line from Swanicoco because ... Yes, you got me. I have acne prone skin much to my dismay when I already over 30 years old.  Here, I thought that I will be over that pimply rebellious phase so that I can use whatever on my face and will not break out from it.  Nope, fat hopes.  I still do breakout whenever I have dairy, whenever I am in stress or just when my skin feels like it.

So, when I was lucky enough to try Swanicoco which is a popular brand in Korea itself, I was really excited about it.  I had review the Swanicoco A.C control tea tree essence and Swanicoco A.C control care skin toner separately.

Ingredients: (provided by Swanicoco)
Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Water, "Hydrolyzed Algin/Zinc Sulfate", Butylene Glycol, Heptyl Undecylenate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Isopropyl Myristate, "Cetearyl Olivate/Sorbitan Olivate”, Erythritol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Ceramide 3, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, "Diheptyl Succinate/Capryloyl Glycerin/Sebacic Acid Copolymer", Polysorbate 60, Glyceryl Stearate, Sorbitan Sesquioleate, Allantoin, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Azelamide MEA, "Lactobacillus/Soybean Ferment Extract/Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract/Cinnamomum Cassia Bark Extract/Origanum Vulgare Leaf Extract/Chamaecyparis Obtusa Leaf Extract/Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract/Portulaca Oleracea Extract", "Artemisia Annua Extract/Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract/Symphytum Officinale Leaf Extract/Helichrysum Arenarium(immortelle) Extract, Azadirachta Indica Leaf Extract(Neem)", "Paeonia Suffruticosa Root Extract/Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract", Biosaccharide Gum-1, Polyglyceryl-3 Methylglucose Distearate, Tocopherol, 4-Terpineol, Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Oil, Citrus Paradisi (Grapefruit) Peel Oil, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Cedrus Atlantica Bark Oil, Xanthan Gum, Carbomer, Arginine

Swanicoco A. C control care

Swanicoco A. C control care emulsion has a really nice pretty packaging with well thought design to keep the products intact even during shipping.  The heavy transparent glass bottle has a pump which I like. It is just that it is heavy during travel so one probably have to decant into smaller plastic bottle.

The ingredients list is longer than the Swanicoco A.C Control toner and also the A.C Control essence which I have been using along for my skincare routine. It also has similar ingredients with the toner and essence.  The other ingredients added are for added hydration and for the moisturising effect.  Still do check the ingredeints list because some people do not really work well with the Cetearyl Olivate/Sorbitan Olivate (olive oil), jojoba oil, sodium hyaluronate or the vitamin E.  There is ceramide 3 which is actually great to moisturise the skin and is not in the toner and essence.  My skin do like the plant ingredients such as neem, grapefruit, Scutellaria Baicalensis, peony and soybean ferment. The second ingredient Zinc Sulfate is one of my favourite ingredients that help with healing acne.  The main ingredients is tea tree leaf water which is gentle to the skin.


Swanicoco A. C control care emulsion is an opaque white light lotion which goes on really smooth and absorb without stickness really fast even in place that has high humidity. It has slight tea tree smell but the smell disappeared fast as well.  It is enough to moisturise the skin on the oily area of my face but I do need to use more on my other drier areas.  If you have dry skin, then this might be too light.  It didn't clog my skin and won't mess with your makeup if you use one since it doesn't have silicone in it. I don't think using this alone will make your acne disappeared since it is just a moisturiser.

Overall, Swanicoco A. C control care emulsion is a nice light moisturiser for acne prone, combination or oily skin type and for those that do not have problem with any of the above ingredients.

Here is a review on a new innovative product, Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin E mask with a great fun skin entertainment value in it.  I mean looking skincare product that looks like food is appetizing enough for my eyes.

Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin E Mask

Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin E Mask has a beautiful heavy glass jar so make sure not to drop it to the floor.  It also comes with a plastic spatula.

It has iridescent design on the front labeling if anyone wonders why it looks like rainbow or something.  The design is to compliment the Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin Drop and to amplified the effect of the essence.

What make this mask really fun and has skin entertainment value is the unique texture that feels like pudding and has the "shape memory" which returns to its original shape.  If you dig a little of the mask, you will the hole fill up and being smooth again after you open the jar after 10 minutes. This texture is also the reason that it adhere to the skin really well without being sticky.

Looking into the ingredients, it is a light based sleeping mask with water as the first ingredient and glycerin the next.  Vitamin E, Niacinamide(2%) are used to provide antioxidant and moisturising effort on the skin. Hyaluronic acid is also for use as humectant to provide hydration to the skin. Adenosine to promotes collagen synthesis, anti-inflammatory to help wound healing and regeneration. Ceramide NP for which is lipids that improve the look and feel of dry skin.

Betaine is a humectant and anti-irritant in cosmetic products. 

Carrageenan is thickener and emulsifier which explain the pudding texture 😄 . It is vegan and extracted from red seaweed. Algin is also to give the gel texture and is from brown algae. Mannan and Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymeris are also a thickener, gelling agent and texture enhancer.

Plant ingredients such as Blackberry, Centella Asiatica, Salicornia Herbacea, Lavender, Eucalyptus, Lemon, Orange, ylang ylang are for those plant additional benefits such as vitamin c, antioxidant, calming, hydration, to control the sebum production, hydration and provide nice scent.

Chlorphenesin and Butylene Glycol are preservatives.

Honestly, I love the scent which is lavender with ylang ylang. The scent is a little strong but it does disappeared after a while. It smells the stronger version of their Klairs soothing cream.

Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin E Mask has the texture of white opaque pudding and it goes into a light milky essence upon application on the skin. The essence turns into invisible veil on the skin and has a cooling feeling on my skin.  I tried it as morning moisturiser and also sleeping mask at night. I prefer it as sleeping mask at night since the hydration is a little more than I need for my hot humid weather during the day time.  I am sure that it will work better as a moisturiser for dry skin type or during winter.

After using it for 3 weeks, I think that it helps with moisturising the skin, as occlusive, heal the acne red scars, prevent over exfoliation, balance the skin water and oil level, soothe the redness on my skin and brighten the skin.  It doesn't prevent acne but it doesn't cause more acne.  Unless you have problem with vitamin E, it won't break you out.  It does help with reducing the fine lines on my laugh lines since it keeps that area hydrated.

Overall, Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin E Mask is a fun skin entertaining sleeping mask for someone who has a busy life, looking for more moisture, hydration, brightening product, heal the skin, anti ageing, loving the ingredients in this mask (Vitamin E, Niacinamide(2%), Adenosine& Ceramide NP) and no issue with other things in the product.

REVIEW ON SWANICOCO A.C CONTROL TEA TREE ESSENCE

Hi,

What are popular in Korea is not known outside Korea because of lack of marketing. One of such brand is Swanicoco. If you check out the Naver, then you will notice that Swanicoco is a wonderful Korean brand that received a lot of good reviews from Korean beauty enthusiasts.

What I have today is the Swanicoco A.C control tea tree essence.  This is an essence for sensitive, acne prone skin and suitable for even dry skin type that could not use stronger stuff such as tretinoin or 1% BHA or 10% glycolic acid.


Swanicoco

Swanicoco A.C Control tea tree essence comes in beautiful green and white design.  The box is also very well made with a sturdy paper box inside to avoid the plastic transparent bottle from too much movement.  I like that it comes in a dropper form too. I think it is great that Swanicoco even put a lot of thought into the packaging up to the aesthetic value and functional value of their product

The bottle is made from a beautiful glass bottle with a dropper which is great to control the amount of product.

Swanicoco A.C Control tea tree essence comes in a transparent liquid and there isn't any smell to it even when I bring it so close to my nose. The liquid spread into my skin really easily and absorb into my skin really well. I do love the texture as it doesn't burn and I can use it with my other spot treatment without any problem.  I can use it at night as well during the day.

Swanicoco A.C Control tea tree essence has short ingredients list and I think there ingredients in there are really great for calming acne prone skin and hydrating it at the same time without being too much.

As for the ingredients list, there are many beneficial ingredients for acne prone skin.  Looking for the ingredient list, it has great ingredients.

Zinc sulfate is great for acne prone skin which is always deficient in zinc. Besides, zinc can help the skin to heal.  Plants ingredients such as Centella asiatica help to calm the skin. Sea buck thorn contains palmitoleic acid which nourish and heal wounds on acne prone skin. Peony is a traditional herbs used to calm the skin  heat, removes toxin and provide antioxidant on the skin. Allantoin is an effective skin soothing since it is anti-inflammatory while also is an emollient.  Trehalose is a type of sugar found in plants, fungi and invertebrate animals and is used as moisturizer.

I have been using Swanicoco A.C Control tea tree essence along with Swanicoco A.C Control emulsion and also the A.C Control skin toner. I really do like it because it is really gentle, does not irritate, help to keep my skin clear, reduce redness on my skin, doesn't clogged my skin and reduce the oil production on my skin while keeping my other area hydrated. My skin type surely has changed to be less oilier on my T-zone.  I don't even need to blot my skin anymore.  Although it contains tea tree oil, it had never even once burnt my skin no matter how much or how many times I apply it on my skin which is really amazing.

Swanicoco A.C Control tea tree essence would be a great start for someone dealing with light to medium acne prone skin and is not ready for all the strong prescription products that can scar the skin without the usage knowledge.  Swanicoco A.C Control tea tree essence is of pH 5.5.  Healthy skin pH is around 5.5 so having a product of that pH is great to keep the skin slightly acidic and acne controlled.

Overall, Swanicoco A.C Control tea tree essence is another gentle mild option as skin spot treatment for mild to moderate acne prone skin.  One can use it every day and extra application doesn't cause the skin to peel or irritated.  However, if you have serious acne, this might be too mild.
