Essential Cream 

Here’s another product REVIEW from The Face Shop with its new line ARSAINTE ECO-THERAPY.

The ARSAINTE line comes with 3 products, (Toner, Emulsion, and Cream). I bought the essential cream because I prefer to use creams than emulsions (but I heard that emulsions are better at hydrating and moisturizing the skin, but I really don’t know coz I have not personally used one). I prefer to use creams because I find creams more gentle and not that watery, I guess :p

I bought this product even if I was not really sure if it works on my skin. I wasn’t familiar with it too since it’s a new product. I just randomly asked the saleslady if they have a moisturizing cream that soothes and treats EXTREMELY DRY skin (I forgot to mention, SUPER SENSITIVE). They recommended this product so I took it and forwarded it to the cashier. 

-According to its packaging, this product is 85.1% NATURAL in origin.

-It has an ECOCERT- (meaning) the 100% bamboo extract used was certified in lieu of water.

-It has OPUNTIA COCCINELLIFERA(wheeew! that was hard!) fruit extract which facilitates skin hydration.

- Formula without 7 additives

- Dermatology tested

- No animal tested

- Respects the environment

- Packaging printed with SOY INK :)

 
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: 
This essential cream comes with a high concentration of moisturizing properties which can be easily spread on the skin to maintain a balance of moisture as well as to improve skin moisturization with this high-moisturizing cream.

COST: 14,900 ₩ (about 552 php) Sadly, it wasn’t on sale since it’s a new line and they are still currently promoting it on print and TV ads.

TEXTURE: creamy and watery 

SCENT: faint fresh smell which is a so-so for me. I DON’T HATE it, but I don’t find it pleasing to smell at the same time. :/

VOLUME: 50 mL

DIRECTIONS: 
After using daily moisturizer, dispense an adequate amount and apply in an outward direction to let the skin absorb it fully.

PROS:
It did moisturize my skin
It is natural in origin (as what the packaging says)
Very hydrating

CONS:
The smell
It gave me breakouts ( but I’m not really sure if it’s because of this or my sleeping VERY late at night hihihihi)
The content doesn’t look like it’s 50 mL, it looks more like 20 mL
