REVIEW ON ALIVE:LAB MULTI ICE CREAM

Hi,

Looking for a fermented Korean brand gel moisturiser for oily skin or for summer?

How about having a look at my review on this Alive:Lab Multi Ice Cream?

Alive:Lab Multi Ice Cream is not the food ice cream but the name just makes you think it is one right?  It is a gel moisturiser made for oily skin type or for the hot season when most moisturiser just feel too heavy on the skin. I have been loving their ALIVE:Lab Centella Dressing Powder which is a great skincare item.


A little about the company: Alive Lab was established to realize all of our dream - making clean, healthy and bright skin. We do our best to protect sensitive and pure skin using natural, but powerful ingredients.

It makes your skin moist and healthy as it is formulated with Galactomyces.

Usage suggestion:
After washing face, after toner and apply it gently according to the skin texture.

Active Ingredients:
Canadian glacial milk : skin cooling
Galactomyces ferment filtrate : skin nourishment

Ingredients:
Glacial water, Glycerin, Dipropylene glycol, Beta-Glucan, Cyclomethicone, Dimethicone, Niacinamide, 1,2-Hexanediol, vinyl dimethicone crosspolymer, Polyacrylate-13, Polyisobutene, Polysorbate 20, Squalane, Sodium Hyaluronate, Carbomer, Arginine, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/ VP Copolymer, Allantoin, Xanthan Gum, Adenosine, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Hydrogenated lecithin, Octyldodecanol, Capryl glycol, Purified Water, Green Tea, Galactomise fermented filtrate, Perfume



Alive:Lab Multi Ice Cream has really nice packaging. It also comes with a spatula to take the product out from the jar.  Inside the jar is a thin plastic lid which explains the reason that it can't hold the spatula.


The beneficial ingredients are:

Polyacrylate-13 with the ability to absorb as much as 200 to 300 times its mass in water so your skin gets all the hydration it needs.  Beta glucan is used for dermatitis, eczema, wrinkles, bedsores, wounds, burns, diabetic ulcers, and radiation burns.

Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate (GFF) which is a popular fermented ingredient is used as a moisturizing agent in cosmetics. It is provides antioxidant effects in human skin cells.  

Allantoin skin-soothing and skin-conditioning agent

Squalane is a popular great ingredients that moisturise the skin but it isn't clogging/

Niacinamide is already a popular ingredients known for brightening and helping the skin with healing.

Hydrogenated lecithin is a skin restoring ingredient which helps to reduce flakes and restore suppleness.


Alive:Lab Multi Ice Cream contains ferments such as beta glucan and Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate (GFF) so if you have fungal acne, it is not recommended.


Alive:Lab Multi Ice Cream has the texture of a light gel which melts into watery liquid upon application on the skin and doesn't sting or irritate my skin. It leaves a slight glowing look if you pat it well into the skin.  Make sure to pat the cream well onto the skin unless you enjoy the 'wet' look on the skin.  The floral scent doesn't last that long on the skin since it disappeared once it dries up.  It does moisturise my skin and keep it hydrated without feeling greasy for more than eight hours.

As for the cooling feeling, it really depends on the temperature of your skin. I have tried it when my skin is flushing red so I can feel the slight cooling feeling for a few seconds.  There is no cooling feeling when my skin is on the normal temperature.

I think the huge jar can last me some time. I am just a bit lazy when it comes in jar since I have to decant it into another smaller jar for fear of contamination.

Overall, Alive:Lab Multi Ice Cream is a nice gel moisturiser that is able to seal in all the products onto your skin so it works really great as night cream for combination or oily skin type.  It is also a nice addition of fermented, moisturising and is water based moisturiser.  Just do not expect this to get rid of acne since there isn't any 'strong' acne buster ingredients in there.

REVIEW ON HELLO SKIN JUMISO WATER SPLASH MASK SHEET

Hi,

Sheet masks has become popular with famous celebrities and beauty influencers attested to using one sheet mask per day for the fast immediate hydration of the skin and also sheet masks have appeared as the essential items to use before makeup even on runaway.

Recently Korean brand,  Hello Skin Jumiso has become popular in Instagram for the very cute and pretty packaging.  So here is a review on this Hello Skin Jumiso Water Splash Mask sheet.

Hello Skin Jumiso Water Splash Mask sheet has a cute packaging and a box consist of 5 sheet masks. It has a golden seal at the top of the box.  There are five variants to the mask and the one I got is the one for hydration which is great for dry skin type and for over exfoliated skin.

Their sheet made are cupra sheet made from 100% cotton and is the thinnest sheet mask at the moment. It really felt soft like silk.  There is a mesh sheet with handle to avoid the sheet mask get torn off.

Ingredients wise, the first ingredient is water, followed by glycerin.  There is beta glucan, some plant extracts (xylitol,laminaria japonica etc) , marine ingredients such as algae and spirulina, vitamin E, allatioin, arginie. castor oil, ceramide, shea butter and few hyaluronic acids.  Brightening and healing ingredients such as vitamin C and niacinamide, Most of the ingredients are gearing towards hydration and moisturising for drier skin type.

Hello Skin Jumiso Water Splash Mask sheet does have scent that is typical of men's products. I don't mind the scent since I do use products marketing for male.  The scent does persist until the sheet mask dries off.  I am not sure about what others think but I don't think the scent is strong at all but if you are the one that prefer floral, fruity kind of smell marketed for women then this might not be the scent you are looking for.

I find that the fit of the mask is great because I have something that finally covers my jaw line.  The sheet mask adhere to my skin even being that thin and the essence is actually slightly gelish milky which is interesting.  It doesn't drip down to my neck even when the sheet mask is thin showing the ability to hold essence.  There is extra essence which I use to apply on my leg. Honestly, one need to use more than just one sheet mask to see the obvious effect on the skin.  I use three of the sheet masks from the box to confirm my views on it.  I really find that it helps my skin to hydrate and heal my skin when it is irritated without clogging my pores.  Not sure about brightening since most sheet mask brighten my skin slightly.

Overall, Hello Skin Jumiso Water Splash Mask is affordable, nice interesting ingredients, comes with a really cute beautiful packaging, keep my skin hydrated, heal it and if you don't mind the scent. Hopefully Hello Skin Jumiso will do something to the fragrance because most people dislike such scent,

COSRX Ultimate Nourishing Rice Overnight Spa Mask Is a really popular sleeping mask because it contains 65% of Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract and because of its affordability.  The ingredients are basically moisturising but it does have Cetearyl Alcohol, silicone, palm oil and olive oil that can be too heavy for some people😶. (combination or oily skin type)

It doesn't have any strong smell which is good. It does smells like rice water if you get what I mean. COSRX Ultimate Nourishing Rice Overnight Spa Mask is smooth and feels really light which is nice. Unfortunately, it clogged my pores like it did with my forehead(I rarely breakouts on my forehead). I had tried it more than 5months so I am pretty sure it is this one.

I find that it is excellent to help dry patches around my mouth and on my body.  However, it just doesn't play well if I applied in the morning or on a hot humid day😡. It caused my face to be oily and also clogged.   It is great to seal in all the skincare products that I use😍 provided that I use it during cold days(27 celcius is consider cold here😆) and apply very little.  For dry mature skin without sensitivity to oil palm or clogging problem, COSRX Ultimate Nourishing Rice Overnight Spa Mask will works better😍.

Remember to keep inside the fridge because in a humid place like South East Asia as the oil can separate and it will spoil really fast because the plastic jar is exposed to the air.  Cosrx had the tube for Christmas.  I don't know if they are thinking of making the tube for long term as I don't get reply from them.  I heard having COSRX Ultimate Nourishing Rice Overnight Spa Mask in tube will avoid spoiling from happening.

Overall, COSRX Ultimate Nourishing Rice Overnight Spa Mask is a great sleeping mask or moisturiser for dry skin type, during winter and if you don't get irritated to any of the ingredients(specially the palm oil or the olive oil in it).

REVIEW ON ALIVE:LAB CENTELLA DRESSING POWDER

Hi fellow acne prone skin,

Do you feel that it is frustrating to deal with acne or sudden breakouts?  If you do, then I am sure you understand that I am always willing to try product to deal with it.  Besides, it has been sometime since I reviewed Korean product for acne prone skin.  One being the Chica Y Chico Tota 3.0 that contain centella asiatica. So, here is , Alivelab Centella Dressing Powder which just made its appearance in early 2017.

ALIVE:LAB Centella Dressing Powder is a product that I have been using for more than three weeks.

Features

Ingredients:
Zinc Oxide, Silica, Asiaticoside, Asiatic Acid, Madecassic Acid, Allantoin, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Azelaic Acid, Panthenol

Directions : take some powder out in the stage of skin care after washing the face in the morning/evening, gently sprinkle it focusing on the spots where troubles are.

ALIVE:LAB Centella Dressing Powder comes in a 8ml plastic blue bottle which I really like.  It is very light and easy to carry around.  The ingredient list is short and contains all the ingredients that my skin love.

It contains zinc oxide which is calming and healing to acne prone skin. Zinc oxide is presented in products for diaper rash, eczema, barrier cream,calamine cream, antiseptic ointment and in anti dandruff shampoo.  My skin just love zinc oxide. However, if you have problem with zinc, better avoid it.

Another ingredients presented in this ALIVE:LAB Centella Dressing Powder is centella asiatica which is always work gently to calm my angry pimples and red skin.  Centella asiatica is another ingredient for acne that I really love for my acne prone skin and recommend for those with sensitive acne prone skin that can't handle stronger ingredients such as AHA, BHA or retinol.  Dipotassium Glycyrrhizinate is used as skin conditioning agent with anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory properties. A new ingredient that I haven't try before is azelaic acid which is used to treat acne and it is really gentle. Panthenol is an vitamin B5 which is really great is moisturising wounded skin without clogging the pores since it quickly oxidised to pantothenic acid.


ALIVE:LAB Centella Dressing Powder is gentle to my acne prone skin and does help to calm my angry skin in a matter of days. It doesn't sting, burn or cause any pain.  There isn't any scent at all.  I admit that I like it and always reach for this product at night.

The best way is to use it in a form of white paste.  I also use it as spot treatment (neem powder, a drop of tea tree oil, centella water).  It doesn't work on those red acne scars but it can lessen the redness on the skin.  It won't stick on dry skin so use it as spot treatment with some toner or cream.  I also add a little to my sunscreen to protect my skin since zinc oxide does offer sunscreen protection. I didn't use it with cleanser because it is such as waste because it won't stay on my skin for more than a minute.

So, here is the thing, I can only use it at night or when I don't need to go out.  The white powder has a white cast since we need to use 1:1 ratio so that it is a white paste for it to be effective on healing the acne. Try to use a non clogging cream with the centella powder since if it is just water, that area will crust over and looks really flaky or dry. Another things if you apply a lot ALIVE:LAB Centella Dressing Powder, you will need a cleanser or konjac sponge to remove the white cast of the zinc oxide in the morning.

Overall, ALIVE:LAB Centella Dressing Powder is a great very gentle acne product to heal the skin and reduce the redness on the skin.  If your skin is sensitive and find that AHA, BHA or retinols irritate your skin, do look into this Alive Centella Dressing Powder.
