Yo! What's up?

Today I will talk about the product that I have been using for almost one year. Yap, I have been using this Hatomugi Skin Conditioner product since last year, however when I wanna write a full review about this product, I always get distract and want to make review for another product first lol. So, I think it's the perfect time to give a deep review about this baby.

Anyway, I have been knowing about this product since long time ago, since two years ago for sure, but it was so difficult to get this product on my hand. but nowadays, it's so easy to spot this product in the drugstore or online shop.

Hatomugi Skin Conditioner have been knowing for several years because it gave such a lot benefit as skincare product and also, Hatomugi is one of the product that often being used in Chizu Saeki Method (CSM) as it has such a lot amount of products and it has water based product. CSM basically is "lotion mask method". This method use hydrating toner/lotion that you soak fully into cotton pads and use it as a mask for around several minutes. This method main purpose is to improve the hydration levels of the skin.

Packaging

This product is packed in huge transparent plastic bottle as its contain 500ml of product. Somehow the huge bottle reminds me of mineral water product instead of skincare product. As it has such a huge bottle, it's not travel friendly, but you can move it into another container such as smaller plastic spray bottle container.

Texture and Scent

Texture: It has liquid- like- texture with milky colour water. It's really like water, it doesn't sticky at all and it's quite light as a hydrating toner/lotion.

Scent: It doesn't have any scent on it as it doesn't contain fragrance.

My Thought

First of all, it has such a big amount of product with affordable price. A bottle goes a long way! I have been using this product for around 8 months and I still have some left on the bottle. Well yeah, this product is multifunctional product that we can use to hydrate our face and body because it has light formula. I even have 7 different ways to use this product, but I will talk about it in the next post. Not forget to mention, because of it, I like to spray this product for my dry hair that I already coloured several time.

This product claims as a hydrating toner but for me the consistency of it, it's too light for hydrating toner. I prefer to say it as light toner that perfect for you who are looking for refreshing, non sticky feeling toner without drying out the skin. I usually like to use this toner when my skin is little bit oily than usual, but so far so good. This product doesn't give me any breakout however, it doesn't give a lot improvement to my skin condition like the claims of it.

As I mentioned before, this product is also often being used for Chizu Saeki Method (CSM). Does it work?

It does work for giving such a deep hydration for the skin as you leave on the soaked cotton pads for around 5 - 10 minutes. but, in my opinion to improve the hydration levels of the skin. We need to do this method every single day.

Overall

I like this product as it's multifuctional product and it can be use in any situation ( I have 7 different ways to use this product). I would like to recommend this product for you who are looking for such a light weight, refresing, and non sticky toner without so much hydration but it didn't dry out your skin. For super dry skin, I wouldn't recommend this product as the main toner but you can use this for CSM or as facial mist when the air is dry. It's really helpful.

RATING

4/5

Review: Guerisson 9 Complex Skin

How are you?

This year have been a roller coaster for me but I'm thankful for what had happened in my life in this year, because I learned so much and I have met amazing, beautiful new friends who motifiate me to keep blogging about beauty. Not forget to mention, we also lost one of our beauty blogger friend, she went to heaven earlier. For me myself, her blog is one of my favorite blog because she blogs so much about Korean beauty and her pictures were always amazing. May she rest in peace :)

Anyway, this post will be my last post in 2016 and this time I'm back with another Korean skincare review! The product that I'm going to review is one of my favorite skincare in 2016 which is Guerisson 9 Complex Skin. Guerisson brand is very famous for their horse cream/ complex cream, but as I do not really like such a super moirturuzing cream, I try their lighter product first.

Skin in this product means toner, so you can use it after washing your face or you can use it as booster after the toner. I have been using this product since this July and I just finished the whole bottle of it last week. Well, I know it's late review but I still remember how this product works beautifully on my skin.

Packaging

First of all, the packaging feels so luxurious. I mean not the orange box, but look at the transparent bottle with the gold cap. Even the gold cap with Guerisson emboss is so pretty. You might think the bottle is made from glass, but after all it's plastic bottle guys, they tricked us. I like this kind of packaging better because I am always afraid that I might drop the product with glass bottle.

at the bottom of the bottle, you can see the expired date, and unfortunately this product's packaging either the box nor the bottle doesn't give any product description written in English. All in Korean.

the only description written in English and French is about the product's caution. lol it's funny. How come they make the product's caution in two languages meanwhile there is no English for product's description????

and the hole for you to dispense the toner, it's the fine one. It takes out the product in adequate amount. I usually need two drops for my whole face if I use it without cotton pad, but with cotton pad I use three drops.

Texture and Scent

Like the other toner, the texture of this product is very like water, very liquidy. It doesn't have color at all, and this toner has not very noticeable orange scent which is refreshing.

My Thought

Fyi: I have combination skin which is so dry in jaw areas and little bit oily in the middle area of my face.

I think the way I apply the product, affect the way it works on my skin. For the first three months I used this product as skincare booster which is I applied it after I use my toner. I just applied it with my finger and dab it against my skin until it fully absorb. But I feel using that way didn't give me so much result. It doesn't work as the product's claims. So I stopped for a week. Then I continued to use it again but with cotton pad, and I use it right after cleaner (as toner). I use it in swipe motion, after that I would pat it to make the toner absorb to the skin.

As I changed the way I applied it. The toner works better. It leaves a little bit of sticky feeling but it hydrates my skin so beautifully. It hydrates perfectly. Make me do not need another booster or liqudy essence, but after toner I still keep using another ampule/essence for another skin concern.

In my opinion, using cotton pad might use up a lot more product but it makes the product works better, because using cotton pad will help to exfoliate and remove dead skin cells in skin surface which can help product to penetrate better.

Overall

I love this product so much! As the purposes of this product mostly as hydrating toner. It works really well. It's hydrating and also helps so much with my skin texture. Also, I didn't experience any breakout while using it. For the price, it's still in the affordable side.

I would like to recommend this product for you who searching for hydrating product to prep your skin before another skincare step.
