I am not a fan of Korean pop music, but I’m a huge number 1
fan of Korean skincare. If there’s only one skin that I want, I want to have
those Korean glass skin. Since the day I tried and discovered Korean skincare I
am already obsessed with their products, and it works for me. However, it is
just so hard to find a legit physical Korean store here in Thailand, and
sometimes I have doubts in an online store because maybe, just maybe it’s not
original, maybe it’s just a copy or fake products. Instead of making my skin so
pretty, I might get bad results, you know what I meant. Good thing I found
Althea Korea’s website, which saves the day.
I am so happy to share with you loves that I am now an
Althea angel or Althea Ambassador, so grateful that they also sent me a Welcome
gift. Before I became an Althea Angel, I already love Althea Korea. My first
purchase with Althea Korea was last 2017, I also made an unboxing video with it
on my Youtube channel, if you are interested you can watch HERE. Althea Korea
never failed, especially with its service of shipment. When I purchase online,
I always expected that I will receive my package in a month, but for Althea
Korea, I always receive my orders on time 15 - 25 days. They really made an
effort in the packaging making sure that your products inside the box are safe
by wrapping it with a bubble wrap.
Inside the Welcome Gift Box that I received, I got an Althea
Angels Hand Mirror and Althea Angels Makeup Pouch (exclusive for Althea
angels), plus their own products Althea Korea's Bare Essentials Set (facial
cleanser + toner + moisturizer). I also received a heartwarming Welcome Card
from the head of creative communications, Ms. Tammy Lim.
Now let’s dive into my Bare Essentials products review, by
the way loves I received the welcome gift on April 20, 2019, I need to give
time to try the products and see the effects on it in my skin, so that I can
honestly share with you if Bare Essential products are really worth the hype.
"A rich and foaming cleanser that removes impurities while
improving blood circulation for that V-shaped look. It contains microcapsules
to gently exfoliate dead skin cells and leaves the skin feeling cool and
refreshed too! "--- Althea Korea
My thoughts
-I love the packaging, it is so simple and minimalist. It
really stands for its name Bare Essentials.
- It smells like green herbal or a fruit, I can’t determine
which exactly, but It sure smells like herb.
-I like that it has micro beds to thoroughly remove
impurities that cannot be removed easily just by washing.
-The Cleanser is very creamy and bubbly so a little amount
of product is already satisfying. I guess this cleanser will last 2 months for
me, which I love, it saves me a lot.
-There is a minty effect that I felt while massaging my face
and even after washing my face, maybe because it has Ice plant, which they
claim. It’s really nice, especially in Asian countries cooling products are
much helpful.
-After wiping my face with a clean towel I felt that my face
is like super clean. I can’t explain it. Okay let’s try this way, you know the
feeling when you wash your face with a cleanser, then after when you rub your
face the moisture is still there so easy to slide your fingers in your face,
but for this Contour Cleanser when I rub my finger to my skin it doesn’t slide
easily it feels like there is friction, it feels like my face is super duper
clean. Though it doesn’t make my skin so tight which is great. Because when my
skin is so tight I felt so itchy in my chin part.
-It claims to be “special care for the V-shape Look”, I’ve
been using this cleanser for a while now, but I can’t see any changes in terms
of V-shape in my face, however, as I mentioned before this cleanser really makes
my skin super clean.
"Smooth, hydrating and ever so slightly balm-like, this
bottle of wonder penetrates into the layers of the skin to plump them up,
prepping the skin and making it a smooth canvas for products to come". ---
Althea Korea
My thoughts
-Again I love the packaging so minimalist and the bottle is
plastic so easy to squeeze for a bottle type. Not like other glass bottles, you
need to shake down very hard for the product to come out.
-I love the smell, it smells like a flower, maybe because of it
has snow lotus, as it claims.
-It’s a sticky dewy product, but it absorbs so fast in my
skin. I’ve used a toner before a sticky dewy product as well but it doesn’t
absorb so fast, which is so annoying, because sometimes I’m always in a hurry
during the morning.
-It claims to give a smooth and bright skin, which so far I
can tell that it really brightens my skin and it smoothens.
"Powerful moisturizing properties are packed into this little
jar that provides the skin with hydration for up to 24 hours for a fresh,
revitalized complexion "--- Althea Korea
My thoughts
-I love the packaging totally, however, it doesn’t come with
a spatula which is more helpful If they provide one. But, I love the pull-up
strip in the cover, because the size is enough to pull out the cover of the
moisturizer.
-Same smell with Contour Cleanser like herbal, but it's
mild.
-The texture is creamy watery but easily absorbs to the skin
and it doesn’t leave oiliness feeling
-It claims to be hydrating, give radiant, glowing skin and
prevent wrinkles, and it shrinks pores and helps to reduce the production of
sebum. For quite some time now, I can see that it really hydrates my skin, it
gives me glowing skin and it reduces my oiliness, other than that I didn’t see the
other effects in my skin.
That’s it with you loves my personal thought with the
Althea’s Korea Bare essential products, which I think very affordable, worthy
to buy especially to those who don’t have so much budget for all skin care
routines. It’s the basic skincare routine wash, tone, and moisturizer. If you
buy the set it’s only 27 USD, for Contour cleanser its 6 USD, for Primer water its
11 USD and for Fixer cream its 13 USD. Just visit www.altheakorea.kr. I hope
you learn so much with my Skincare
