It's Skin Power 10 Formula WH Effector

9900 won, $138 HKD

It's Skin Power 10 serums are very popular in Korea. I saw it in Hong Kong as well, but it's 2x the price of Korea!!
The whole series has 11 products:
- Power 10 Formula WH Effector (whitening)
- Power 10 Formula WR Effector (fine lines and wrinkles)
- Power 10 Formula VE Effector (moisturising)
- Power 10 Formula PO Effector (oil control, pore refining)

- Power 10 Formula  VB Effector ( Vitamin B6, oil control and balances water moisture)



I had so many customers ordering this product, so I bought one to try!
The whitening serum I've used are all thick in texture
But this one is transparent, light and absorbs fast
30mL for day and night will last you ~1-1.5 months

Ingredients include Arbutin, which is the main ingredient in whitening products.
It helps lightening dark spots and prevents melanin from forming.
It feels gentle and has sanitizing effects
Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin
Just a few drops will be enough for the whole face
Effects are just so so, I didn't see any WOW improvements

But for sure next time I wanna try the following!!

- Power 10 Formula WH Effector (whitening)

Enprani Super Aqua Booster

50mL, 17000 won

I didn't see any Enprani stores while I was in Korea

I saw this product at Olive Young, buy 1 get 1 free

Olive Young is similar to SaSa in Asia, they carry many different brands

I've seen "booster" products in Nature Republic 

The salesperson said you use it before toner, so I am guessing you do the same with this one

I prefer using a toner that is thicker in texture

If you use a watery toner and apply the booster

booster will be mixed with watery toner on the face 

the booster will become watery too...

Later I used it like an essence (after toner)

it absorbs much quicker and faster

I really like the hydration effect it brings

The booster is stored in a glass container, so the mixture is always kept in a cool temperature

You can also apply a different serum on top of this one

Sometimes in the morning I will first apply the Enprani Super Aqua Booster, then a whitening serum

At night I will use an anti-aging serum on top of this one

That way, I can get hydration and another effect at the same time!!

I will definitely buy this again!!

Lancome Hydra-Intense Masque

100mL, $34 CAD

I always wanted to try Lancome masks, cause their cleansing products are quite good!

But prices aren't cheap... or wait until they have bonus gift

I bought it at the Canada duty free for 50% off, paid $17

The mask contains a light rose scent, thick in texture, water based.

Suitable for any skin type.

For those who uses the mask during winter or have sensitive/dry skin, you'll see much more result!

Hydrating effects are superb! 

My skin acts like a sponge and sucks all the water from the mask

After using it my skin is more moisturised, soft, and fine lines reduced a bit too

I see effects immediately! so you can use it for emergency purposes such as before a date!

You can also use it before make up, it will help your make up stick to your face better and won't look flaky....

First, wash your face, dry, then apply a thick layer of mask on your face

leave it on for ~10-15 mins then wash off

Use it 2x/week and your skin will look fully hydrated!!

Tony Moly Tomatox Brightening Mask

70g, 7800 won


I was attracted by the tomato from first sight!
Tony Moly has a few products in the shape of a fruit ~
Creamy in texture, refreshing, but no tomato scent...
I tried it on my hand but it feels itchy... using it on my face it fine though...
I suggest you try it on a tester first before buying it....
just in case you have any allergic reactions!

Wash and dry your face
Put a thick layer of tomato mask on for ~15 mins
Use a tissue to wipe it off, no need to wash
You will see immediate results which can last 1-2 days
I suggest you use it a few hours before any big important dates.

Since it contains oxygen, it creates an immediate whitening effect
When I applied it onto my face, I feel some kind of reaction (like oxygen bubbles) penetrating into my skin 
It is a big itchy....
It contains red particles that look like strawberry seeds
If you press a bit harder, the red particles will melt
so far I am not so sure what they are for
In conclusion, this mask provides emergency whitening effects
If you want whitening effects long term, you need to use whitening products every day

Shiseido Naturgo White Clay Mask

120 g ( $45 HKD, ~$16 USD)


This is the most effective whitening mask I have ever used~~
I am almost finishing up my 2nd tube !!
Ingredients include natural white clay from the Alps in Italy, Toscana natural spring water and Saxifrage essence.
It does such a good job removing impurities, brightening up dull and tired skin~

The white clay just sucks all the melanin (black substance) away
I look so healthy, clean and brightened afterwards!!! 
You will see effect immediately!!
Gentle texture, easy to wash and easy to spread

Contains micro white clay particles which can penetrate into the deep layers of your skin, removing impurities and aging skin. The natural minerals can help sooth wrinkles, making your skin look healthy and bright.

It also contains a numerous amount of hydrating particles

so you are cleansing and using skincare at the same time

some people do find their skin a bit transparent too after using it~~

A lot of wash off masks will dry your skin, but this one won't
I feel like doing a SPA afterwards ~~

Skinfood Broccoli Sunscreen Cream SPF 42 PA+++

50mL, 8000 won, $155 HKD, 500 NT
Contains broccoli extracts, vitamins, aloe, camomile.

It is water-resistant, suitable for people who does water sports.
Camomile has calming effects, so it's also suitable for people with sensitive skin.
SPF 42 PA+++ can protect your skin against strong UVA and UVB

Broccoli extract gets absorbed into the skin and creates enzymes which protect the skin from UV rays. It can reduce the chance of being sunburned and getting red spots. The chemical substance responsible for this protection prevents formation of tumours. Broccoli extract (acting as a protective shield) can also stay in your skin longer then regular sunscreen. It doesn't wash away easily, after using it for a few days, although the broccoli extract is not physically on the skin any more, it can last for as long as 3 days!! 

That doesn't mean you can apply sunscreen once every few days, it just means your skin has a basic protection from the sun. 

It doesn't smell like broccoli, but smells like lettuce....

texture is between sun milk and sun cream... not as watery as sun milk and not as creamy as sun cream.... 

Suitable for drier skin...it makes my face kind of oily (I have combination oily skin).... 
buy it only if either you live in a cold country or if you have dry skin

Apply it 15-20 mins before you go out, avoid eye areas. You can use it on your face, neck, arms, legs and feet. But since it's only 50 mL, I would use a body sunscreen for my arms, legs and feet....  

Laneige Sun Block Aqua SPF 35 PA++

70 mL, I forgot how much....


Ingredients include Beta-Glucan -- helps detoxify your skin, prevent yours skin from harmful sunlight
Suitable for any skin type and daily use. 
Targets dry skin or those who works in air-conditioned environment and needs hydration

PA ++ protects normal skin against medium UVA

Sunscreen is water-based and makes water drops!!

If you apply it before your foundation, it helps your foundation sticks to your face better

light in texture, non-oily, absorbs fast.

It wouldn't dry out your face nor make your face so white like the other sunscreens do....

A lot of sunscreen make you look like a ghost... super white....

Most water drop sunscreen are for dry skin, but hey although I have combination oily skin, I am still scared of being dried up from the sun....
In this case, hydration is really important to me... 
This sunscreen gives a cooling effect
Since it contains water drops, you can't smudge it onto your face, you need to pat it on.. 

There's 4 sunscreens in this line
Laneige Sun Block Aqua SPF 35 PA++
Laneige Sun Block High Lasting SPF 50 PA++
Laneige Sun Block Triple SPF 40 PA++
Laneige Sun Block Oil Free SPF 35 PA++

As a side note, please remember to apply your sunscreen ~15 mins before you go out
If you are outside for long, reapply sunscreen every 1-1.5 hrs
