Aprilskin - Magic Snow Cream Review
21:52:00
Today I will be reviewing on the April Skin Snow Cream! Seen this product advertisement popping up non-stop on my Facebook news feed, I knew I had to get my hands on it and try it. Plus is your product authentic? I would guide you through to know how to identify x
Initially I bought one from a seller through Carousell who claimed to do direct import from Korea. I ordered one and it did not came with the gold seal. The gold seal was supposed to prove the product authenticity. However I was wrong. Read on to see my conversion with Aprilskin later :)
As you can see, the above is the first one I ordered that did not came with the sticker. Also the back of the printing looks different. But if you Google for Korea G-Market - they are selling this.
For this, you can clearly see the seal there. The back of the printing is different too from the above one.
So I had a chat with Aprilskin on how do I actually see whether my product is authentic or not. The magic date is 28 October 2015. This means if your tube states any dates earlier than that it is authentic.
I need to take a chill pill! I was freaking out I might be cheated earlier on. Glad it was just a false alarm.
Didn't needed two tubes. Sold away one in be end. Regrets, because it was great!
The white cream is really 'white' and moisturizing when squeezed onto the back of my hand.
When you spread the product you can feel the *water* in it. Plus it smells so sweet.
You can see the big difference, it instantly brightens up your dark skin tone. Plus, it looks dewy when applied. However, a while later it would go semi-matt.
The difference is big but I think the lighting made it less visible. I applied my left hand in full.
How to use:
Squeeze it out on the back of your hand and dap your fingers on it and dot it on your face. T zone, Nose Zone. Then start to spread out evenly.
This cream is very natural and buildable. Plus it stays on for the whole day. If you sweat a lot, you can just reapply it back on.
| Packaging |
~ Comes in a foldable card-box with holographic snowflakes patterns on it. The inner side is fully green. It comes in a tube form which is more more hygienic then a container form.
| Smell |
~ Seems to have fragrance. Smells pleasant and kind of tasty.
| Color? |
~ White cream and sheer upon blending.
| Pros |
~ Did not cause any allergy to my sensitive face.
~ Can cover up slight redness.
~ Generous amount in a tube which can last for a long time.
~ Instant whitening and brightening of your skin!
~ You can use this as your neck make up as it does not stain your clothings~
| Cons |
~ Product accentuates pores and makes your pores look more obvious. Especially if you have oily skin. Once your face looks oily, your pores looks extra bigger with this cream on.
~ Some people may not like fragrance so they might find the smell strong.
~ Dark blemishes will not be concealed.
| Would I buy this again? |
Yes I would! I really love this! I use this at night and as my neck make up to brighting dullskin of mine!
| Where to buy? |
Got mine at Carousell through Ownnings. She/He was a great owner, highly recommended!

Hi jean, i just wanna make sure my product is original or not. it doesn't seem orginal. how to send to you the picture product ?
ReplyDeleteHi there! :) maybe you can email me at mylifemyskin@hotmail.com and I will take a look x
DeleteCan you ask april skkn about this produce number DC01601? It's certificate product from aprilskin or not? It's original or not? kindly need answer. Thanks jean.
ReplyDeletehi jean! does it only brighten skin? it doesn't remove acne scars or pimples?
ReplyDeleteHi there! :)
DeleteIt only brightens skin and covers slight acne scars temporary. It isn't a high coverage product, so you will still need a bb cushion on top of it to cover up pimples :) Hope this answers your question x
Hi.should I use this cream first or use sunblock first?
ReplyDeleteSunblock normally has a white cast unless you are using one without a white cast, you may use it before this cream. If your sunblock has a white cast, you can may use over it. I normally use my sunscreen and the white cast was enough hence I will skip the snow cream. Overall, I use this product more in the night only. This cream maybe drying after it sets and clings onto dry patches. So do note to moisturise properly beforehand :)
DeleteHope it helps!
Hello! Do you have to remove this product using a makeup remover? And I have sensitive skin, did it cause any breakouts on you after using it for a period of time? (: thank you in advance!
ReplyDeleteHi, it's recommended to remove it properly :) You can just use cleansing water and cleansing foam to wash it off; which should also be your day and night usual routine.
DeleteIt didn't cause me any breakouts and I'm almost finishing the whole tube :D I think it's quite ok since there isn't any alcohol nor parabans. Unless you had had a reaction to whitening ingredients in the past, you might wanna give this a miss :)
Hope it helps :D
hey there may i ask
ReplyDeletedoes this cream will actually helps to brighthen and whiten our skin by time?
bcause i did read somewhere it can also be use under the armpit, kneecap (dark areas)
oh and is it helps to make our skin bttr ?
sorry for asking too much hehe
Hey there!
DeleteIf I were to compare this whitening cream with tony moly's one, it's more watery. In this case it couldn't cover my dark arms and kneecaps. For my underarm, I realized it turned grey after applying on for an hour?
I think it's good only for face and neck as it really has a lot of moisturising properties.
Hope it helps :D
how long does the 70ml last for ?
ReplyDeleteHi Atikah! It last about 4-5 months for me? 70ml is quite a lot. It depends on how many layers you apply too :) I only apply two layers. Hope it helps! :D
DeleteHi, how do i know if this cream original or not? Because i am doubting mine
ReplyDeleteYou can just compare the back of the tubes you have, with the photos I had attached in the blogpost :)
ReplyDeleteHope it helps!
I got pimples in my second day? Why?
ReplyDeleteHi, I am not very certain as everyone's skin condition is different. Since it's a whitening product, are you allergy to whitening ingredients? If you had ever tried a few whitening products and it gave you a reaction, it might be cause you are allergic to the whitening ingredient/s :(
DeleteHi Jean,
ReplyDeleteI found another product same with this one: Maxy Snow - Sarange.
Which one is better?
Hi Silvia,
DeleteI had not came across this product yet. It looks almost the same like this. But I can't tell you which is better as I had not use that brand before. Would look around and see if I can find that in Korea. I would give it a try then and let u know :)
Cheers xo
Hi! I wanna ask the cover of the magic snow cream (cap) is it matte or "shiny"? I bought two and one is matte the other is not. Afraid one might not be authentic. Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteHi there! Mine is matt though. Have you tried messaging April Skin on facebook or contacting them through email? They do reply.
DeleteThere are a lot of fakes around so do be careful :)
Have a nice day ahead xo
hi! i was wondering... does applying this cream daily whiten your face over time? or is you face only whiter when you have the cream on, and back to your original complexion after you wash it off? thanks ^-^
ReplyDeleteIt's temporary :D But I used it nowadays on my neck more instead since it doesn't stain clothes, seems like in long term use it will have a lightening effect. But not veru obvious. Just slightly :)
DeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI would like to ask if this is considered a skin care or cosmetic product? Meaning, do I have to remove it before going to bed at night? Thanks in advance!
This is a skincare. No need to remove if you apply this at night :) If you apply in the morning, you will need to wash off in the evening. You can apply again at night before going to sleep :D
