The History of Whoo Soo Yeon Cream Review


~The History of Whoo Soo Yeon Cream~


Description: This is jell-type moisture cream, which protects skin dryness from various harmful oxygen and stress and provides energy like pure oxygen (the silver and platinum ingredients) on the skin and manage the bright energy and water vein of your skin (herbal ingredients). The Soo Yeon Cream melts onto the skin and restores moisture. This light textured cream contains powerful ingredients in an exquisite blend. The skin is revitalized and looks fresh and supple.


The products in The History of Whoo Soo Yeon line helps to keep your skin hydrated and protected. The word Soo means water, and the products in this line concentrate on moisture retention and work to replenish skin clarity, protecting against skin dryness. As the formulas are based on oriental medicine, these products provide a fundamental solution to dry and tired skin and ultimately protect the skin from harm. The Soo line is built around the yin-yang theory of the East (the principle of restoring yin-yang balance, replenishing materials that are lacking and controlling excessive materials), reducing redness on the skin while purifying and brightening the overall complexion. The highly defined non-sticky formula allows the products to penetrate deep into the layers of the skin, works to solve skin problems, and adds radiance to the face.


Potent Ingredients: 
~Ginseng~

~Acanthopanax Sessiliflorum Seeman~

 ~Lycium Chinense Miller~

 ~Platinum~

 ~Pleuropterus Multiflorus~

 ~Silver~

Review: This gel-type water-based cream is best for dry skin types. I usually get dry skin during the winter season, and always need a hydrating cream to moisturize and hydrate my skin. The SA introduced me to this cream when I went to The History of Whoo store. She guaranteed (as many Korean SA’s do haha) that this product would hydrate, brighten, and moisturize my skin. And YES, it did!!! I used this cream for more then 3 months now, consistent day and night. Its consistency is a somewhat-thick gel, but when applied to your skin, it feels like a smooth layer of water is being absorbed into the skin. The Soo Yeon line has a distinct smell; very fresh, herbal, but not a very strong scent. The main ingredients are of course the use of medicinal herbs to help with circulation, and help your skin retain moisture. In addition, silver and platinum – amazing huh? These two ingredients help to remove excess oil, impurities, and toxins, which allow the skin to absorb oxygen. The result: hydrated, moist, and plumped skin. One word of advice though, this cream may not be suitable for people over 30, as they need more hydration and richness. This cream is suitable for dry skin types around the ages of 18 to 24. I cannot stress enough how much The History of Whoo products work!


Ingredients:


*We could honestly do without the C1 14700, colourant!* But I would definitely recommend it to those who have severe dry skin during this winter season! You will be pleased with this product :)

IOPE Whitegen Clear Mask & Ampoule Essence Review

IOPE is another leading brand in Korea from Amore Pacific. There whitening line is known to show whitening effects on the skin!!!

Here are two items I bought from the IOPE Whitegen Line:

IOPE Whitegen Clear Mask

This is an Essence-Type mask. IT WILL FIT YOUR FACE PERFECTLY! (I was extremely happy haha, and there are no drips!) The mask fiber is derived from Bamboo, so that is natural haha! It smells heavenly! (Almost like a bush of flowers) However, for those who are sensitive to perfumed products, I do not recommend this to you. The results are amazing!!! It has a GIGA WHITE COMPLEX (contains nano-sized capsules of Arbutin) when made contact with the skin are released for immediate effect (and long lasting effects). You leave this mask on for 20 minutes, and after removing it, gently dab the remaining essence on your skin.


~Bearberry~


~Arbutin, a natural whitening ingredient extracted from the Bearberry fruit, is the most concentrated, and nano-sized ingredient in capsules to help remove dullness, discolorations, and helps to brighten the skin to give a natural glow~

What I love about this mask is that you do see results. Its is HIGHLY moisturizing which is a plus for my skin! Your skin is literally glowing right after, and there IS NO STICKINESS whatsoever :) Because many masks that I have used in the past are too sticky after removing! I highly recommend this mask for whitening the face!



IOPE Whitegen Ampoule Essence

The Ampoule Essence is enriched with SPOT WHITE CAPSULE. The texture is thick, but when warmed up the thickness lessens. It is a clear liquid with no added colour. When you pump the essence out, you see these little white capsules which melt when you rub your fingers together. The Ampoule Essence is meant to whiten the skin, as well get rid of dark spots, age spots, and acne marks. After using this for a month, I have noticed that it has cleared up my complexion. There is a natural glow to my skin which I love! The smell is similar to the Whitegen Clear Mask. What I also love about this essence is that it is moisture rich, and using this during the summer with my normal/combo skin, I did not need to apply any other moisturizer after this. But for dry skin types (especially during the winter seasons), I recommend using a moisturizer after this!

I am BIG on ingredients, and unfortunately there were no ingredients listed! Sorry for that! However, these are my honest opinion/review on these two products! :)
