Selly May 23, 2021 0 Comments

Hi Beauties, you might already know how much I love Centella asiatica (Cica). This is one of my favorites skincare Ingredient. Cica is known for its ability to calming acne, improve wound healing, soothes irritated skin, etc.

In this post I would like to introduce you to a Korean Skincare Brand, The Potions. The Potions is a smart, minimalist skincare line where only the best Ingredients are available in the purest forms. In the new skincare line from The Potions, there are two products that have Centella Asiatica as the star Ingredient. The Potions Cica Calming Toner and The Potions Cica Smooth Peeling Pad. This line is suitable for all skin types, especially if you have maskne or experiencing irritated skin and breakout. This Cica calming duo will help you to soothe irritated and sensitive skin.

Brand : The Potions

Product Name : Cica Calming Toner (150ml) & Smooth Peeling Pad (60 pads)

Where to buy : https://coreelle.com

Origin : Korea

🌿 The Potions Cica Calming Facial Toner 🌿

Packed in a 150ml sturdy bottle, this toner contains The Green Calming Complex (Asiaticoside, Asiatic Acid, Madecassic Acid, Portulaca Oleracea Extract to soothe the skin. It also contains Trehalose from Cactus and Sodium Hyaluronate to provide deep hydration and moisture.

The Potions Cica Calming Toner has a super light texture, watery consistency, and quickly absorbs into the skin without leaving a sticky feeling. It's fragrance free so it feels so comfortable when I applied it on my face.

I like to use this toner after I washed my face, it helps to retain moisture and makes my skin feel refreshed. For the hydration, one layer is not enough for my dry skin, but you can put as many layers as you want since the texture is very light. This is a perfect toner to be used in summer!

I also like to use this toner as a facial mask to soothe my pimples or whenever my skin irritated. I poured the toner to a thin cotton pad, and then I just put it on the irritated area for 10-15 minutes. And it does help to calm down the inflamed skin.

Overall, it's a good hydrating toner 👌💚

🌿 The Potions Cica Smooth Peeling Pad 🌿

This is a daily peeling pad with Centella Asiatica and PHA as the main ingredients to gently remove dead skin cells while maintaining moisture to the skin. It's an easy way to exfoliate the skin with less irritating pads.

The Potions Cica Smooth Peeling Pad has two sides, the embossed side to cleanse the dead skin cells, sebum, and impurities. Also the soft side to moisturize and hydrates the skin. Both sides of the pad are soft and didn't irritate my dry skin.

Same as the Cica Toner, this peeling pad contains The Green Complex to soothe irritated and sensitive skin, Trehalose and Sodium Hyaluronate for deep hydration. It also contains PHA which gently removes dead skin cells, impurities, and excessive sebum from pores, and Allantoin to help protect the skin from environmental stress and maintaining skin health.

I use this mild peeling pad three times a week in my PM routine. I really love the refreshing feeling after using this pad. It moisturizes and cleanse my skin at the same time! This peeling pad helps to improve my skin texture and make it feel soft and smooth. And not only gently exfoliating, it also supplies lots of hydration, leaving my skin looks brighter, clear and radiant.

There's no bad reactions when I use this peeling pad even on my dry skin. So if you are looking for a mild peeling pad, The Potions Cica Smooth Peeling Pad is the answer. 💚🌿

These two products can be purchased at https://coreelle.com

SNP Halloasis Sheet Mask Moisture & Brightening - Review

Selly May 17, 2021 0 Comments

Hi Beauties.. kalian pasti udah pada tau kan Brand Skincare asal Korea, SNP yang terkenal punya banyak Varian Sheet Masks. Nah SNP kali ini punya series Sheet Mask terbaru, HALLOASIS yang cocok banget buat kita-kita yang tinggal di daerah dengan cuaca panas seperti di Indonesia. Karena line ini punya konsep seperti Oasis yang bisa menyegarkan kulit kamu.

Hi Beauties.. You might already know about a Korean Skincare Brand SNP, they are known for having so many various Sheet Mask lines. And now they released a new Sheet Mask series, HALLOASIS. The Halloasis line is suitable for people who live in a hot and tropical countries, since the concept is to create an oasis for the skin.

HALLOASIS ini punya dua Varian sheet mask yaitu Moisture Hill Mask dan Brightening Hill Mask. Menurutku dua-duanya ini sangat hydrating dan cocok dipakai untuk semua jenis kulit.

This HALLOASIS line has two various Sheet Mask, the Moisture Hill Mask and Brightening Hill Mask. Both are great for hydrate the skin and suitable for all skin types.

🌵 SNP HALLOASIS Moisture Hill Mask 🌵

SNP Halloasis Moisture Hill Mask ini diperkaya dengan Cactus Stem, Flower, Fruit Extract (Opuntia Ficus Indica) untuk menjaga kelembapan dan elastisitas wajah. Kandungan Cactus extract yang ada di Sheet Mask ini juga bisa mensupply hidrasi pada kulit yang dehidrasi.

SNP Halloasis Moisture Hill Mask is enriched with Cactus Stem, Flower, and Fruit Extract (Opuntia Ficus Indica) to delivers moisture to dry skin and improves skin elasticity. It also supplies hydration for dehydrated skin.

Halloasis Sheet Mask ini punya tekstur essence yang bening dan agak kental, tapi terasa meleleh saat di kulit, sehingga mudah meresap. Karena teksturnya yang lumayan kental, jadi essencenya ini meskipun banyak (25ml) tapi ga sampai netes-netes saat diangkat dari kemasannya. Menurutku ini poin plus banget karena biasanya sheet mask yang essencenya netes-netes itu agak bikin berantakan pas mau dipakai.

The essence of the Halloasis Sheet Mask has a clear and a slightly viscous texture. But it melts once it touches the skin and easily absorbed by the skin. This mask contains 25ml of the essence, but because of the slightly viscous texture, this mask is less messy than the other masks that have a runny texture.

Lembaran maskernya cukup tipis, lubang mata, hidung pas ga kebesaran di wajahku. Untuk area bawah hidung dan bibir agak besar, tapi ini memang kejadian di setiap Sheet Mask yang aku pakai, dari brand apapun itu, jadi aku ngga akan komplain hehe. Lembaran maskernya ini juga mudah diatur atau disesuaikan dengan bentuk wajah kita masing-masing. Jadi saat dipakai itu bisa kelihatan rapi.

The material of the sheet is thin and has shaped that fits for my eyes and nose area. It's a bit bigger on the lip area, but this thing is always happening to me no matter what sheet mask I used, so I'm not complaining hehe. The sheet is easily adhered and adjusted to the face shape. So it looks fit on the face.

Cara pakainya gampang banget, setelah membersihkan wajah, pakai toner, kemudian pasang sheet mask ini, dan atur dan sesuaikan dengan wajah kalian terutama di area mata, hidung, dan bibir. Pakai selama 10-20 menit. Aku sendiri lebih suka masukin/simpan sheet mask di kulkas sebelum dipakai untuk menambah sensasi cooling.

This mask is so easy to use, after you cleanse your face, apply toner, and then apply this sheet mask, and adjust the mask evenly onto the face. Use it for 10-20 minutes. I personally enjoy to keep the sheet mask in the fridge before using it to my face. This way I can feel more of the cooling sensation.

Saat pemakaian, sensasi ademnya ini bener-bener berasa, SNP Halloasis sheet mask ini juga punya wangi manis dan segar yang lembut, jadi relaxing banget saat dipakai.

The soothing sensation from this mask is sooo good, it also has a sweet and refreshing scent that makes the masking moment feels so relaxing.

Setelah dipakai, muka jadi lebih hydrated dan kelihatan fresh banget, calmingnya juga lumayan dapet. Essencenya pun terasa ringa dan lembapnya pas, ngga berliebihan, jadi menurutku pemilik oily skin juga bakal suka sama sheet mask ini.

After removing the sheet mask, my skin feels a lot more hydrated and looks fresh. This mask also works for calming the skin. The essence feels very light the moisture is great and not too much. So I think people will love this mask too.

Yang paling aku suka dari sheet mask ini, dia essencenya itu bisa meresap semua ke dalam kulit, setelah dipakai ngga terasa becek ataupun lengket sama sekali. Jadi sangat nyaman di gunakan, setelah maskeran pun bisa cepet lanjut ke step skincare lain. Selama pemakaian tidak ada iritasi atau bad reactions di kulitku. Pokoknya aku suka banget sama sheet mask ini, dia cocok buat pemilik kulit kering yang pengen pakai hydrating sheet mask yang ringan di kulit. 🌵

The thing that I do love so much from this mask is the essence! The essence absorbed into the skin effortlessly and doesn't leave a sticky feeling. It feels so comfortable when I applied this mask on my face. The essence also absorbs quickly into the skin, so we can continue to the other steps of skincare right after removing the sheet mask. I'm so happy I don't experience any irritated skin. This is literally perfect for people with dry skin who wants to use a lightweight moisturizing mask.

🌹 SNP HALLOASIS Brightening Hill Mask 🌹

SNP Halloasis Brightening Sheet Mask ini diperkaya dengan Adenium Obesum Leaf Extract atau dikenal dengan Desert Rose atau tanaman bunga Kamboja untuk melembapkan kulit dan mencerahkan kulit yang kusam.

SNP Halloasis Brightening Sheet Mask is enriched with Adenium Obesum Leaf Extract or known as Desert Rose to moisturize dry and dull skin and gives a brighter look.

Untuk lembaran sheet masknya masih sama seperti Varian Moisture, dia lumayan tipis dan mudah disesuaikan dengan wajah, dan juga ngga gampang melorot. Essencenya juga mirip Varian Moisture, dia bening, agak kental, dan mudah diserap kulit.

The material of the sheet is just the same as the moisture ones. It's thin and easy to be adjusted on the face.The texture of the essence is clear, slightly viscous, and easily absorbed by the skin.

Saat dipakai, sensasinya juga mirip yang Moisture, adem banget di kulit, dan ngga ada rasa cekit-cekit sama sekali. Tapi Varian Brightening ini lebih cepat meresap ke kulit. Untuk finishnya sama-sama tidak lengket ataupun terasa becek. Justru dia bikin wajah terlihat fresh dan radiant. Lembapnya pas dan terasa hydrating. Dia bikin kulit kelihatan sedikit lebih cerah, cocok kalo kita mau ada acara, bisa kita pakai untuk mempersiapkan kulit biar kelihatan lebih fresh. Brightening Hill Mask ini juga bikin muka terlihat bersih dan cukup bagus untuk mengontrol minyak di kulit.

When I applied this mask, I experienced the same soothing sensation on my skin, just like the moisture one. It didn't make me feel a tingling sensation. The difference between both of the sheet mask are, this one absorbs into the skin faster, makes the skin looks clear, and helps to control the sebum. The Brightening also doesn't leave a stickiness on the skin. After removing the mask, I can feel that my skin is well hydrated, refreshed, and looks more radiant.

Duo Halloasis ini memang kerasa kaya Oasis buat kulit. Rasanya fresh banget dan ga ada hawa gerah setelah lembaran sheet masknya dilepas. Pas dan cocok banget dipakai pas cuaca panas dan kulit lelah, serasa dikasih minum kulitnya.

This duo really lives up to its name, HALLOASIS. It makes me feel like I have found an Oasis for my dry skin. They feel so refreshing and suitable for the hot and humid weather, to soothe and refresh the tired skin. It feels like my skin is drinking up from these masks.
