Finally have used all these products enough for a review! Oh my Skinfood, you never disappoint me! You all know I was obsessed with Korean cosmetics/skincare after going to Seoul twice last year and swear by the
Skinfood Agave Cactus Cream (Hydrating). Thus I ordered the entire set of winter skincare from Skinfood to try. I have to scream: my skin has never been in such good conditions before!
The reason why I chose to pick the
Gold Caviar line to try is because the gold packaging makes my happy *superficial* and it is the most expensive Skinfood skincare line so it gotta be good. Just kidding!!!- this line is made for pre-aging meaning the products tend to be more moisturizing, which is the step up I need from the Agave line.
Checking out what I was using before :)
First thing first -
^ Gold Caviar Toner
You all know I am all about cheap cleansers and toner is the first step I apply after I cleanse away all the makeup/dirt on my face every night.
What it does: A gratifying toner formulated with visible pure gold, softens the skin, and with Russian caviar, counters wrinkles and fortifies, nourishes, and firms up the skin.
Comments: It does a good job firming and moisturizing the skin. The texture is a lot "thicker" than a lot of liquid toners yet it is very easy to absorb. Since it is so thick, I can have time to give my face a message when applying. It is super fancy to see actual gold flicks in the toner *roll eyed superficial face. However, this product does not stand out as much as other product and I miss the cleaning power I could get from other "thinner" toners.
Suitable for: Everyone but not oily skin type
Repurchase: Maybe
^ Gold Carviar Serum
What it does: The anti-aging action of the caviar extract and gold in this comprehensive-care serum helps counter wrinkles and moisten, nourish, firm up, and fortify skin.
Comments: I get compliments in person saying "I have no pores" It's a weird compliment but I guess it is a good thing-_-. It really does what it claims and I wholeheartedly believe this is what makes my skin condition changes. Very light yet super moisturizing. It locks and seals up all my pores and gives an instant lift to my face. It does not give unnecessary oil to my oily T-zone yet gives me that extra nourishment I need for the season. I use 2 pumps for the entire face and neck.
Suitable for: Everyone Including oily skin type
Repurchase: Definitely
^ Gold Caviar Cream
What it does: Moisturizing cream contain Gold caviar extracts for nourish, Anti-aging and firm skin from within.
Comments: As expected, this "chewy" gel cream is even more moisturizing then the Agave Cactus Cream which I used over my summer air-conditioned nights. Compared to the Agave Cactus Cream, the texture is similar but has a slight hint of oil, which firms and nourishs skin rather than making it oily. The elasticity of this cream makes this a good stretch for massaging. This is one of those amazing creams that once applied you can tell the moisture is locked up and stayed in. A little goes a long way. Definitely the best cream I have try saving me back from the New England drought.
Suitable for: Everything especially dry skintype
Repurchase: Definitely
*Skinfood also just announced an upgrade version of this called Gold Caviar Collagen Cream and will for sure give that a try next winter.
^ Salmon Brightening Eye Massage Serum
What it does: Designed with a relaxing massage tip, it intensifies blood circulation on eye area and enables faster absorption of omega-3 fatty acid, arbutin and vitamins.
Comments: All the Gold Caviar eye products were sold out thus I gave this a try since I have wanted a massage tool for my eyes (yes no need to point out my ridiculous eye bags and dark circles) and I have been loving the Salmon eye concealer. Disappointing enough, the massage tip is nothing special than a diagonal convex surface. Despite the serum itself is a great texture for massaging, I do not see anything special about this besides being a message gel. It meant to intensifies blood circulation but for some reason every time after I used the rolling tip to apply this, my double eyelids would dissappear the next morning. wtf right?
Suitable for: Brats who want to dump money down the drain
Repurchase: Hell NO! I think those drug store roller ball eye gels would be 100 times better and half the price.
Here you go. Simple enough right? I honestly believe having good skin should be simple. 2 most important things: Clean right and moisturize right. Check out bonjourhk.com for the best prices for these stuff (or should I say anything :P) I hope you enjoyed reading! I assume it would be boring for some of you but hopefully be helpful to those who are interested in Skinfood skincare products because they are the sh*t!!
What are your winter skincare products? Care to share it with me? <3
