Apieu had been pretty well known for their affordable cosmetics and skincare. Although it's priced at a low price point, most of their products delivers well and received quite a lot of compliments. I was excited when I saw the sweet sheet mask in 3 varieties, Banana, Peach and Grapefruit. The soothing one always get the first try!
Owed this review for so long! Didn't realise I haven't ever shared the Etude House Air Therapy Mask at least once on my blog. How can this beeeee ohmy! The first one I will share on will be the green tea one. This one is one my top 3 favourite out of the 15 choices available.
Finished my Laneige sunscreen so time to move on to a new sunscreen. Pretty particular with sunscreen, as I tend to break out when I tried the wrong ones, having said so it never stopped me from trying or experimenting still haha! So, let's see! Today, I will be talking about this sun cream from W lab.
Earlier on i bought 2 pieces of this OOZOO mask but OOZOO Singapore decided to send me more of it to try. Yesterday I finally had the chance to use it. It has been sitting in my stash as my recent skin condition wasn't really good and I found out that I 'might be' intolerant to 'Potassium Hydroxide' which was found in Innisfree Green Tea Seed Serum (Allergy Reaction) and Guardian Pony Brown Root Water and Leaf Water Mask (Allergy Reaction). Sadly, this mask also contains Potassium Hydroxide. I was not very convinced my skin may had a reaction after realising I had been sticking to this particular cleanser for over a year which contains Potassium Hydroxide! So I plucked up my courage to try this mask yesterday night, hell yeah I was really nervous! By the way, I'm on an allergy rash medication so I wasn't sure if it blocked the reaction or it truly did not react on me.
My favourite ingredient to soothe troubled, allergic skin reactions would definitely be ALOE! Been using aloe really intensively recently and finally, I'm about to finish this tub from Cosrx! Hence, I decided to do a review on it. Having said so, I had repurchased my second tub~ Read on for more!
What is it:
Aloe Vera Oil-free Moisture Cream is a high-concentrate aloe cream that fills in the skin with thick moisture, helps calm the skin and prevent future troubles, and creates moisture barrier for sagging skin.
A 80% content of aloe vera leaf juice and 200-times-concentrate of aloe vera leaf juice powder to calm quickly the skin tired from the heat and ultraviolet ray. Makes your day!
Ingredient List as shown:
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Water, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, 1,2-Hexanediol, Betaine, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder, Allantoin, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Dimethicone, Arginine, Carbomer, Ethylhexylglycerin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Panthenol, Chlorophyllin-Copper Complex, Ethyl Hexanediol
How to use:
1) After cleansing or showering, apply an adequate amount to the desired area (especially to sun exposed, dry, irritated areas) and allow absorption.
2) For a cooler feel with increased firming and soothing effects, try using after refrigerating the product!
It comes in a plastic tub with spatula. PH level 6.5, Suitable for all skin types.
Spatula in between the cap and lid. The lid makes things messy for me. Warning!! If not capped properly and pressed, it will be a mess! I normally just throw the lid away afterwards.
It's a tub of gel. Really gel-ly! It doesn't wobble, I tried it haha!
I scooped a generous amount onto the back of my hands. Immediately, I felt a cooling sensation. It's gonna be even nicer if refrigerated I guess. Especially if you are gonna deal with sun burn.
It's pretty lightweight and absorbs fast into my skin. I really like how it doesn't pile and just 'sit' on my face.
Does it does what it claims?
Claim 1: A high-concentrate aloe cream that fills in the skin with thick moisture, helps calm the skin and prevent future troubles, and creates moisture barrier for sagging skin.
I love to slap these on my cheeks especially, as I face alot of redness, sensitivity, reactions blah blah and blah, and it really helps to soothe! I wouldn't say this prevents future skin troubles but helps existing skin troubles. Moisture barrier seems the same, mine is pretty damage though.
Claim 2: 80% content of aloe vera leaf juice and 200-times-concentrate of aloe vera leaf juice powder to calm quickly the skin tired from the heat and ultraviolet ray.
When my face flushes red because of heat, I will reach out for this. Not immediate effects but after prolonged usage, skin indeed feels less red and sensitive.

| Would I buy this again? |
Repurchased my second tub! I do like this product. It's simple and it's great. It helps with my allergy reactions and I love how fast my skin eats this up. Whenever my skin is feeling extra sensitive, this is my trustable product, my first choice to reach out to. It's not really a miracle product neither is it my holy grail yet. However, I just like how it helped to settle down my skin. I will give it a higher rating as it delivers what it promises!
