NEW: Sulwhasoo Snowise Massager

Sulwhasoo Snowise Whitening Spot Cream + Snowise Spot Patch + **Snowise Massager**

Sulwhasoo introduces another great product for the Snowise Whitening line, their Massager. This is a tool (when you push the button, it goes in gentle circular motions) that is used with the Snowise Whitening Spot Cream - to further accelerate results on dark marks (scars) and freckles. If many of you are not aware, when using spot treatments for your freckles and scars, it is crucial to massage the specific scarring area to help break town scar/freckle tissue underneath the skin. Luckily, Sulwhasoo has created this tool which is not only gentle but gets the job done! A bit of background on Sulwhasoo's Whitening Spot Cream and Snowise Spot Patch...

Description: Formulated with Korean Medicinal Herbs, Snowise Whitening Spot Cream treats pigmented skin while Spot Patch boosts results.


Potent Ingredients:

~Spreading Hedyotis~

~Rhubarb~

~Licorice Root~

Snowise Spot Cream is a highly concentrated spot treatment with herbal extracts including Spreading Hedyotis, and Rhubarb to effectively penetrate and provide targeted, intensive treatment for dark spots. Absorbs quickly and promotes a clearer, even color-tone.


Snowise Spot Patch includes Licorice Extract which softens the skin while a patch that is made from Korean Traditional Paper creates a protective layer to maximize the penetration of Whitening Spot Cream, providing a clearer, more radiant complexion. Adheres to the targeted area to provide continuous benefits of Whitening Spot Cream. (The spot patch is kept on for 20 minutes - it is best to use this whitening program at night!)

When I purchased the Snowise Whitening line, the Korean SA was nice enough to give me a few samples of the Snowise Whitening Spot Cream - it has a very strong scent of herbs, and is a somewhat-thick paste but absorbs rather quick. I could not review it because the samples were not enough for a full months use!!! However, she did promise me that this will help lighten scars and freckles :) Nonetheless, the full set including the massager will be available in a couple of months or so - the price range of this program is very expensive: $300 USD. For those of you who are interested in the Snowise Program, you guys are fortunate to get the massaging tool to help with fading those dark marks!!!

Sulwhasoo Snowise Whitening Line Review

Sulwhasoo Snowise whitening line is intended to help brighten, clarify, and even-out the complexion through various medicinal herbs, especially the concentrated pomegranate, rhubarb, marsh parsely, licorice root, white mulberry which work in synergy to help circulate your skin and purification within the skin, in order to achieve brighter skin. The scent is a very herbal - very soothing and calming to the mind, as with many of the Sulwhasoo products. I have used the whole whitening line: Sulwhasoo Snowise Balancing Water, Sulwhasoo Snowise Whitening Serum, Sulwhasoo Snowise Whitening Fluid, Sulwhasoo Snowise Whitening Cream, Sulwhasoo Snowise UV Protect Cream for over 6 months, day and night, without combining any other product to make my review authentic - SUNSCREEN WITH '+++' IS A MUST WHEN USING WHITENING PRODUCTS DURING THE DAY!!! :)

Sulwhasoo Snowise Balancing Water

Description: A gel-type balancing water for optimum hydration. Formulated with Korean Medicinal Herbs, this gel-type balancing water delivers optimum hydration through deep and rapid penetration. Kozo and Fermented Soybean Natto extract gently exfoliate the skin, preparing the skin to receive the benefits of brightening treatments that follow. Promotes supple skin through deep hydration.

Ingredients:

Review: For my normal/combo skin type, I found this toner hydrating. I did not apply this product with a cotton pad (never do I do with Korean toners, as they have essential ingredients) I would pour some onto my palm and gently pat it on my skin. This toner is gentle, and the scent is very herbal. The texture has a gel-type consistency, not like the milk consistency of The History of Whoo Seol Whitening Skin Balancer - the Sulwhasoo Snowise Balancing Water is clear, and absorbs quickly into the skin. For dry skin types, this may be a great toner for your skin as it does hydrate. However, if you do suffer from really dry skin, I would advise sticking to a richer cream afterwards!!! All in all, a great toner for the first step of clarifying the skin (through gentle exfoliation) for subsequent steps.

Sulwhasoo Snowise Whitening Serum

Description: Formulated with Korean medicinal herbs, this brightening serum protects skin from UV light and heat to restore vitality and promote a clear and bright complexion. White Ginseng polysaccharides extracts restores skin vitality and Hedyotis Diffusa extracts stimulates skin’s natural circulation, returning a clear and bright complexion. Penetrating instantly, this essential serum veils the skin with refreshing moisture.

Ingredients:

Review: Another whitening serum that IS A KEEP! This serum will help brighten and help to reduce pigmentation, as well as forming new pigmentation. This serum veils the skin, making it smooth and appear lustrous. It is rapidly absorbed into the skin (tip: wrap your palms over your face after applying it) and produces an inner glow within the skin. I used about a pea-size of this product day and night. The texture is a somewhat runny gel-type consistency, it is clear, and smells heavenly, like herbs. I would definitely recommend the serum from the whole line!!!

Sulwhasoo Snowise Whitening Fluid

Description: Formulated with Korean medicinal herbs, this fluid penetrates deeply to clarify and brighten skin. Rhubarb extract prevents the build-up of melanin pigment and assures other whitening ingredients work continuously. Absorbs quickly, leaving the skin smooth and soft.

Ingredients:

Review: This Whitening Fluid has an serum-type consistency. It really does absorb right away into the skin, leaving no stickiness, but only moisturizing the skin (good for normal/combo, may need something richer for dry skin types). Once again, the scent is very herbal - if only Sulwhasoo did not indicate their natural scents with 'Fragrance,' we wouldn't be confused about it. Nevertheless, the result is a smooth, baby soft feel to the skin, without this fluid being to heavy or too rich.

Sulwhasoo Snowise Whitening Cream

Description: Formulated with Korean Medicinal Herbs, this brightening cream recovers clear, even color-toned skin. Spreading Hedyotis extract helps brighten the complexion by protecting the skin against free radical damage and mulberry tree root extract has a cooling effect on the skin. Absorbs quickly, leaving the skin soft and smooth.

Ingredients:

Review: LOVE this whitening cream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It really does keep your skin moisturized, and having dry skin during the winter season, it was perfect for me! I love how it's smooth, rich consistency spreads over your face. The smell is very herbal, and the cream is white. This whitening cream helped lighten my marks, and gave an overall even-complexion to my skin. The Korean SA guaranteed that this is one of the best whitening creams out there, and she sure was right!!!

Sulwhasoo Snowise UV Protect Cream

Description: Formulated with Korean Medicinal Herbs, this dual-functioning (brightening, UV blocking) cream promotes skin's natural circulation, and brightens, while simultaneously preventing future damage from harmful UV rays. Herbal ingredients such as Pomegranate calm the skin and promote skin's natural circulation and Rhubarb extract brightens, and clarifies, while active sun screens effectively protect the skin from harmful UV rays. Absorbs quickly and maintains radiantly matte appearance.

Ingredients:

Review: This sunblock is excellent in leaving your skin matte, there is no oiliness or any white residue whatsoever!!! And thankfully, with many Korean sunscreen, we find them not using harmful sunscreen filters like Oxybenzone, which many Western brands use. The smell is very mild, and the consistency is very light and absorbs quickly and the colour of the cream is light-beige. I am not sure of its whitening effects or brightening effects, but it is a great sunscreen.

Recommend? Yes if you want to clarify and brighten the skin. But I would advise that since I had normal/combo skin going into this line, it kept my skin moist and hydrated. For those of you with dry skin, please have a rich cream in handy!!! I found that The History of Whoo Seol Whitening line really produces whitening effects to the skin, while the Snowise line helped to even-out the skin tone. Both lines use effective Chinese medicinal herbs that work!!! It is all up to personal preference. As for the scents, I would rather pick Sulwhasoo - it is more calming to the mind. Nonetheless, for each product, I used a pea-size amount, and applied it using gentle circular motions, then gently patted my skin for full absorption and wrapping my palms on my face for heat penetration. The ingredients are very natural, with a few of those nasty preservatives. However, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Snowise Whiteing Serum and Snowise Whitening Cream - I found these two products worked the BEST!!!

Please leave any feedback behind!!! :)

Sulwhasoo: Basic Line

THE SET!!! :D

I cannot stress enough how much hydration is important for your skin! It is the key basis for keeping your skin firm and glowing, and of course preventing aging! This is a mini-set I got with the anti-aging eye cream. After trying out the samples, I purchased the full products to keep this review honest and authentic!

I would like to start off with the Sulwhasoo Balancing Water and Balancing Emulsion:

I have been using these two products for a year, and I am IN LOVE with them! It keeps my skin firm and hydrated. I always look at ingredients, it is very important when it comes to skin care because why would you want to put harsh chemicals on your face? Sulwhasoo uses high quality ingredients, they are all natural and medicinal herb based. They do use fragrance, but I assure you the fragrance is from the herbs :) The smell is very warming and soothing.

The Balancing Water is a Gel-Type substance, and absorbs easily on the skin. You can feel the hydration immediately. As well, it has Licorice, which is listed in the first few ingredients, which helps to brighten the skin! The Balancing Emulsion is amazing. It is white, with no color added. It is runny, but goes deeply within the skin. It not only hydrates your skin, but tones it as well. The Honey Suckle is known for toning and evening the skin complexion! What I love about this Emulsion is that it is great for oily skin too! It will not make your skin look greasy, but keep your skin hydrated, and looking fresh.

Sulwhasoo Revitalizing Serum and Anti-Aging Eye Cream:

~Anti-Aging Eye Cream~

Potent Ingredients:

The Revitalizing Serum has done wonders to my skin. It is a Gel-Type serum, when applied to the skin, firms and reduces any trace of roughness! It is enriched with a potent natural anti-oxident Machilus Tree. It does not make my skin sticky, or oily. However, hydrates and firms my skin amazingly!

I have been using the Anti-Aging Eye Cream for 4 months. It is excellent for wrinkles. With its nano-technology, all the ingredients are absorbed right into the deepest layers of the skin. As for dark circles, I recommend a treatment. This is for deep wrinkles and hydration. It has 6 year old Red Korean Ginseng, which has properties like no other. It is highly potent anti-oxident and anti-aging. It smells a lot like herbs, which is very refreshing. The result, less wrinkles and deep hydration!

A bonus is you can use the eye cream for lips and smile lines :)
