[Review] Mizon Hyaluronic Ultra Suboon Cream



Hello my lovely readers!

I am here today with a review of the moisturizer I have been using for the past year (so you can obviously understand that I love it :P -- such a review spoiler hehe) the Mizon Hyaluronic Ultra Suboon Cream.



I did try a lot of moisturizers before I purchase this one and I admit I made the best choice ever when I put it in my cart. In general I am a huge fan of Mizon's products cause they are skin friendly and they never irritated my face or broke me out no matter what product of their brand I have tried. I gave this a try a year ago because the weather was unusually cold and my skin has been through a phase of dry patches lately, so I tried this cream.
Hyaluronic acid is known for locking the moisture in so that your skin will stay suple all day :) At first I was kinda worried it might be too heavy for me (I always have this fear because although I had some dry patches my T zone is especially oily), but it turned out super nice.


 It comes in a tube of 45ml and it costs me around 6.50$ (~5.50euros) from beautynetkorea.com with free shipping. Super affordable!! It comes out kinda thick and has a white color. It doesn't smell anything in particular which I like because I kinda do not like heavily fragranced face products. It doesn't contain any parabens (which is also why I keep buying it), no fragrance and no coloring.


It applies smoothly on the skin, leaving it soft, moisturized and supple but not greasy. After it has sinked in, in a very short amount of time, it leaves the skin smooth. It is very suitable for underneath makeup as it doesn't leave gresiness behind. I use it all year round because it's potent but light enough even for summer months, I just make sure to use just this cream after my aloe vera gel during summer because I sweat easily. For those of you with really dry skin I would either recommend a heavier moisturizer or layering many products to get the desired effect. I feel like this cream is amazing but not heavy enough to sattisfy those with really dry skin. I personally even layer it with other products during winter just to keep the moisture locked in. So just try it and see what works better for your skin type ^_^


I hope I have included all vital info in this review. If you still have any questions or opinions, do not hesitate to leave a comment down below :)

[Review] TonyMoly "I'm Real - Seaweed Moisture Lotion"




Hello my beloved readers!!

Many things have happened in my life lately, one of them being that I moved to France for studies so I was very busy during the last months and therefore not able to write any reviews! I really want to start writing regularly again so I will try my best!


Today I will review a product that has become staple in my night (and day) routine. It's the TonyMoly   " I'm Real - Seaweed Moisture Lotion". I bought this around November, from beautynetkorea.com for ~13$ ( ~11 euros) if I am not mistaken.



 My skin is going through a phase where it is no longer oily, but rather normal/borderline dry on the cheek area and around the nose, especially since I moved to France where the humidity isn't high at all and the climate is drier and a lot colder than Greece's. I bought this lotion as a "supplement" to my current skincare routine (with aloe vera gel and hyalouronic acid moisturizer) and it was a huge step for me because it was the first time I bought something that had the word "moisture" on the label and not something like "no sebum" "oil free" etc.




The bottle is made of sturdy plastic and contains 200ml of lotion. As you can see it has a safety cap which I love. It smells refreshing and powdery at the same time. The concistency of the product is runny but not TOO watery, I would describe it as a watery moisturizer. It is light yet it penetrates the skin and soothes it. I could feel my skin immediately moisturized but not greasy or sticky, What I love about it is that it is "9-free", so no parabens and other harmful ingredients. It didn't break me out and it helped my skin retain a healthy moisture balance throught the day/night.

The lotion is part of a 3-step system that TonyMoly has come out with, and the lotion comes in different variations for different skin concerns "brightening, sebum care" etc. I have tried samples of all of them and to be honest I was pleasantly surprised by the amazing quality and the results of each lotion. As an ex-very oily skin-girl I would advise you to buy the sebum care lotion if you suffer from excessive oiliness because it works wonders!! Although I do not use any other product from the system, I still like how the lotion works for me. 

I can say with absolute confidence that this lotion could be used by everyone, even those with slightly oily skin, because this lotion is soo light and moisturizes the skin enough to make it healthy but not greasy.If you have extra dry skin, I would recommend you to also buy a heavy duty moisturizer to apply after this lotion because this product alone won't cover your needs if you skin suffers. I would categorize it as a "bridge" between your first and last layer of moisture. 
It can work excellently under makeup or as a light moisturizer for warmer days or days you don't feel like layering a ton of stuff on your face; I know I will keep using it during summer alone, without any other moisturizer on top. Definitely not a heavy duty product, yet absolutely awesome one! I do think you will all love it. In the end of the day, you can experiment and use this as you wish to achieve the results you want! :)


I hope I have covered every aspect about this product! For any questions or opinions do not hesitate to leave a comment down below ^___^
