S.NATURE Aqua squalane moisturizing cream 60ml (triple pack)
Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
I found a real nice moisturizing cream and wanna share it with u guys.
It is a S.NATURE Aqua squalane moisturizing cream.
The reason I chose this cream is actually just because of the sale.... lol
I bought it from Oliveyoung global and there was 1+1+1 event going on... and I just bought it!
I didnt even know that it was this famous but lucky me!!! LMAOOOOOO
The first impression was not very special.
It is just a plain cream. The package was not ugly but not pretty lol......
-My skin type-
My skin is very dry and sensitive.
I dont have any BIG acnes but there are a lot of small acne bumps all around my face and since my skin is very sensitive, it blushes real easily.
Also I have pores around my nose.
Since my skin is very very sensitive, it is always a challenge to try a new cream but I couldnt find a PERFECT cream that i can use so I was keep wondering around various types of cream.....lol
-Texture-
The texture is very light!
So at first, I was worried if this cream will be hydrating enough.
To get straight to the point, it was OKAY!
I wont say that it is SOOOOO HYDRATING....
But it was hydrating enough!
Since my skin is very dry, I like to layer it twice on my skin.
If u r a oily girle, this cream will be the best cream for u bc it is light AND hydrating!
But since I am NOT the oily girlie,,,, I would rate its texture(hydration) 3 out of 5.
-Specialty-
Then,,,, What is so SPECIAL about this cream???
I would say,, the "Internal hydration"
As i mentioned above, this cream doesn't give that heavy level hydration like some richer creams, but u can really FEEL the moisture sinking in from deep inside your skin.
Since I have dry skin, I did find it lacks of a dewy glowy finish on the surface, but when i use this to hydrate the inner layers and then layer a thicker barrieer cream on top to seal the moisture in my skin, it is just the PERFECT PERFECT PERFECT routine.
I am so proud of this routine that I created that i am making all my friends try this routine lmao
Unlike other creams, the hydration from this one isnt like the ones that just sit on top of ur skin and never goes INSIDE. It absorbs right into ur skin.
It is the most fast-absorbing cream Ive ever used.
It builds moisture deep inside the skin layer and I am quite sure that this is the most effective product ive ever found for treating inner dryness.
Inner dryness has been my biggest problem for such a long time bc even though i use heavy cream, it just wont be absorbed and just make my skin surface oily.
But this cream solved my bigges prob at once!! so happyyyyyyy
-Ingredients (Squalane)-
Water, Squalane (150,000 ppm), Glycerin, 1,2-Hexanediol, Betaine, Panthenol, Sodium hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed collagen, Hydroxypropyltrimonium hyaluronate, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, Sodium acetylated hyaluronate, Acetyl hexapeptide-8, adenosine, hyaluronic acid, hydrolyzed sodium hyaluronate, sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer, potassium hyaluronate, acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer, arginine, allantoin, xylitylglucoside, anhydroxylitol, glucose, butylene glycol, ammonium acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP copolymer, caprylyl glycol
These are the ingredients of this cream and according to the official website, al ingredients are EWG green rated. So I think sensitive skin girlies can also use this cream!!
As u can see from the name of this cream, the key ingredient of this cream is "Squalane"
So what is Squalane??
Squalane is for "sebum control"
Squalane is obtained at just 0.2% from healthy olives and have similar structure with skin sebum.
So it can easily penetrate bc of its skin-friendly properties, and aid in sebum control and skin hydration.
The key point is that it has similar structure with our skin sebum and that's why it can be so effective.
In this cream, it contains vegetable squalane 150,000 ppm!
-Pore-
Do u know another effect of sebum control:??
It is that it reduces the pores!!
As I mentioned above, I have pores around my nose :((((((((
It is a lie if I say all my pores disappeared after using this cream.
You can't make ur pores disappear...
But i could CLEARLY see that the size of my pores decreased!!!
None of the creams that ive used until now had reduced my pores but this one did!!
Since i have a dry skin, sebum control wasnt the biggest deal for me.
Pore reduction was!!!!!!
Controlling sebum helps reduce the appearance of pores by preventing oil and impurities from clogging and enlarging them.
-total rate-
To sum up, I would rate this cream 3.5/5
The benefits of this cream for me was
1) interanal hydration
2) pore reduction
But if u have a oily skin,
u will also have the 'sebum control'
so i would rather recommend this cream to girls with oily skin.
If u have a dry skin like me, u will need one more cream that is thicker.
But still, I really like this cream bc it really solved my inner dryness!!!!
and i think i will keep using this cream :)))
Hope all u girlies have a perfect skin one day. 3>
