REVIEW ON KICHO SHEEP OIL CREAM


BWEEP bip bip BWEEP  *sound of Beauty police' car*

"Raise your hand above your head... !" said the Police while pointing a gun at me.

"No, I didn't kill Mary the sheep for the cream on my face. T_T  Don't put me in the jail!"


Lucky, there is no sheep kill for this Kicho sheep oil cream else I will feel guilty for using them.

Kicho Sheep Oil Cream is made from lanolin.  Lanolin is a fatty substance found naturally in sheep's wool.  It is yellowish viscously thick wax that can be made into other products.  So, there is NO sheep are killed to make beauty products.

High pure grades of lanolin produced by complex purification techniques suits sensitive skin such as eczema and be made into nipple cream.

One of the secret makeup artist tips is to use nipple cream which is actually lanolin.  Now, you do not have to use the sticky stuff on your face.  This Kicho Sheep Oil cream is the same minus the sticky uncomfortable feeling.

There is a cardboard box which is beautifully decorated which is really beautiful.  It is not easy to take out the cardboard box.  The jar has a very beautiful aluminum embossed with the name of the product and the design > <.  It is a glass jar so be careful in handling it.  There are instructions in English and details about the product in English.  The ingredients are in Hangyul though.

The cream has really good ingredients and is free from T.E.A, artificial scents, mineral oil, isopropyl alcohol, paraben, urea, heavy metals and formaldehyde. However, do check the ingredients because there are many plants extract, beeswax, silicone, shea butter and oils.

If you do have any problems with ingredients list, then this is a really good moisturiser since it has a lot of moisturising ingredients such as ceramide, hyaluronic acid, plant oils and shea butter. The cream smells of lemon mix together with chlorine which I can only tolerate because the smells disappeared after 10 minutes.  The yellowish cream is soft and application of the cream is so easy.  It is not sticky and feels really light on my skin.  In fact, my skin is so soft that I feel like touching it every second XD .  The moisture lasted on my skin even hours after application which is really good since I don't want to be applying moisturiser every few hours.

The cream soothe my skin and prevent it from moisture loss which is great since I use it at night as a night cream.  According to research, lanolin is superior to petrolatum reducing dryness, scaling, cracks, roughness, abrasions, pain and itch.  This is sure for me because application of pure petroleum jelly will just clog my pores.  Besides, it has the nearest composition as the human stratum corneum lipids which is essential to bind water to the skin.  It is also makes a great primer for makeup.

Overall, I will recommend this to dry, aging skin type, damaged skin barrier or during winter where moisture get lost easily. Not recommend if your skin is clogged prone to the ingredients in the list.

The light blue glass jar with silver cap just screamed luxury!  It looks like a blue pearl XD .  The reflective lid of good quality as it doesn't fade out.  The lid is not the screw thread type but those 'click' type.  The jar is heavy so be careful during handling it.

The cream is light blue as well which fits the shades of the jar XD.  The cream is really smooth, soft and smell very hanbang with floral mix into it.  The smell does fade away after a few minutes of application on the skin. I find that the cream is smooth, hydrates and absorbs well into my skin.  Since it is water based, it isn't sticky, doesn't clogged or irritates my skin.  I normally find cream heavy but this Hansaeng Cosmetics RIN Bi-gyeol Soo Cream is just great for someone who is looking into anti ageing skincare products but want something which is light and doesn't clogged acne prone skin.  My skin does feel plumper and more hydrated when I use the cream.  It works well under makeup and doesn't pile.

There are many brightening, anti inflammatory and moisturising ingredients presented such as niacinamide,
Lactobacillus/Panax Ginseng Root Ferment Filtrate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Cercis Chinensis, Uncaria Sinensis, Cimicifuga racemosa, Angelica dahurica, Bletilla striata, Trichosanthes kirilowii, Amomum xanthioides, Eugenia caryophyllus, Vigna Radiata, Gleditschia australis thorn, Broussonetia Papyrifera, Nardostachys chinensis Batalin, Safflower, Trifolium Pratense, Papaver Rhoeas, Pueraria Thunbergiana, Hibiscus Sabdariffa,Squalane, Chrysanthemum, Ophiopogon Japonicus, Codonopsis Lanceolata, Magnolia Liliflora, Polygonum Multiflorum, Astragalus Membranaceus,  Betaine, Glyceryl Stearate, Adenosine, Tocopheryl Acetate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Glyceryl Caprylate and Scutellaria Baicalensis.

There are ingredients many ingredients from plant, ingredients derived from coconut such as cetearyl alcohol and stearic acid.  Dimethicone, Triethanolamine, colouring are presented but they are low in the list. Still do check the ingredients list since what you are allergic to and mine may not be the same.

Overall, would recommend Hansaeng Cosmetics RIN Bi-gyeol Soo Cream for one looking for oriental Korean medicine skincare (hanbang), luxurious packaging, looks to start anti aging products but wanted something light, affordable price, great company history and have sensitive, dry, or out of balanced skin.

REVIEW ON KLAIRS MIDNIGHT BLUE CALMING CREAM

When Klairs launched their new products-Klairs Midnight blue calming cream, my first thought was if the cream is going to be blue?  It turns out that the cream is indeed blue because of guaiazulene is an antioxidant derived from chamomile oil.  It is a dark blue crystalline hydrocarbon and derivative of azulene, the blue colored constituent of chamomile oil which has anti-inflammatory properties.

KLAIRS MIDNIGHT BLUE CALMING CREAM


If moisturizing just wasn’t enough for your sensitive skin,
Meet the Real Blue Cream to protect your skin from irritations & stress
Klair says,
"The KLAIRS’ Rich Moist Soothing line is loved for its excellent calming & moisturizing effects by many consumers. We believe the primary reason for the popularity of the Soothing line was due to the high satisfaction most of our customers felt from the powerful moisturzing effect. However, we wanted to design the optimal product for the few customers who were still experiencing irritations from external stimuli with additional skin concerns. After a long term of researching with the R&D team, the KLAIRS’s Midnight Blue Calming Cream was created to go that extra mile."


Q1. Why is the cream blue?
Guaiazulene, which is the key ingredient of the Blue Cream, is a plant-based component extracted
from camomile oil. It has a natural violet color, which gradually turns the cream into a gentle blue color
after the blending process.

Q2. I want to know the difference between the 'Blue Cream' & the 'regular cream' !
Different functions :The Blue Cream is made for calming rather than moisturizing, to rapidly soothe the skin in response to an irritation.

Different target areas & usage amounts :Unlike a moisturizing cream, you don't have to apply the Blue Cream to the entire face.
You only need to apply a small, adequate amount to target areas.

Different usage time : The Blue Cream creates a thin, protective layer over the surface of the skin. Night time use is recommended to assist skin regeneration & to prevent makeup from breaking the protective layer.



Q4. Should I use the 'Midnight Blue Calming Cream' or the 'Rich Moist Soothing Cream'?
They're similar but kind of different, which is the best cream for me?
Go through the checklist & choose the best for you.
1) If you want a non-irritating hydration cream for everyday use,
□ Midnight Blue Calming Cream
▣ Rich Moist Soothing Cream

2) If you want fast recovery after a spot extraction or laser procedure,
▣ Midnight Blue Calming Cream
□ Rich Moist Soothing Cream

3) If you are experiencing irritation & heat flashes after sun exposure,
▣ Midnight Blue Calming Cream
□ Rich Moist Soothing Cream

4) If you have oily skin and you want a refreshing, soothing cream,
▣ Midnight Blue Calming Cream
□ Rich Moist Soothing Cream


Main Ingredients
Guaiazulene :With herbal ingredients extracted from chamomile, it shows a dark purple color and is effective in calming the inflammation of damaged skin tissue as well as regeneration of skin cells. Containing 0.03% (similar to contents in an ointment that is currently on the market, Japanese clinical trials demonstrated effects of 89.7% in sunburns, 60.6% in eczema, and 86.5% in ulcerative skin diseases, and is used as the main raw material in burn ointments.)

Centella Asiatica Extract:  As a plant native to Madagascar, it is also known as ‘tiger grass’ and is often used in cosmetics as ‘Centella Asiatica.’ Helps regeneration in damaged skin and prevents scarring; primary ingredient in ointments.

Direction:
At the last step of your skin care routine, apply a small amount to areas of sensitivity or irritation, and gently tap in to allow full absorption. Use makeup after the cream is fully absorbed into the skin.
** The blue coloration is due to the presence of Guaiazulene

Klairs box for the Klairs Midnight blue cream is the same as their other box for Klairs products.  Only the jar for this Klairs Midnight blue cream is made of heavy dark brown glass which looks kind of elegant but it will be better if the jar is blue.

The blue cream is an eye candy to my eyes XP.  It is opaque blue cream which goes on smoothly and turns translucent on the skin. I really need very little for each application on my skin.  Using a thick layer can clog my skin.  The temporary cooling effect(lasted few seconds upon application) does feel great on the skin but it is not an invitation to use more than needed.  So, it is not for treating acne.

The cream smell faintly of soda candies or bubblegums which disappears upon application.

Although the ingredients stated there are Centella, Ceramide 3 and Guaiazulene, please do look into the list of ingredients as there are many ingredients that can potentially cause break out.  The ingredients are very hydrating and moisturising so it will be more suitable and show better result for people with skin that is dry damaged types.  If you are prone to clog skin, it is better to look into the ingredients first because shea butter is quite high on the list.

The Klairs soothing cream and Klairs Midnight blue cream are different from each other in terms of ingredients and the function so it depends on your skin needs and type.

Overall, a cream that plays better for the skin is damaged, dry or after procedure like lasers and I use it at night as occlusive to the area that tends to be drier.  It does slightly reduce my redness after 2 weeks of usage but for someone that look for fast results, you may not have patient for this.

*updated: best to use it with the Klairs Activating Youth Drop for fast calming result.

Review: 
This product Antipodes Joyful Hand & Body Cream won the Natural Health International Beauty Awards 2016 in the body cream category. It has a light green colour because of the avocado ingredient blended in it.  It smells minty with hint of fresh leaves.  Although it may look thick, it absorb really well and smoothen out the dry patches on my skin.  There isn't any residue, no film of oil and my skin is lightly scented with the fragrance which I love. The smell becomes light after 30 minutes of application but the hydration effect stays. It is a good body and hand cream during summer since it hydrate but not heavy on the skin.


Overall I like Antipodes organic skincare that works on the skin and they just smell so amazing!  If you are organic lovers then Antipodes skincare products especially their serum is a must try in your beauty arsenal. From the samples I like the Kiwi Seed oil eye cream and their Joyful body and hand cream which is really a treat for your body =).  I think if you are looking for 'introduction' products into organic products, do try Antipodes serum which has gained a lot of popularity for the effect and being gentle on the skin.
