NeogenxJoan Kim Vita Duo Cream - REVIEW


I have seen people complaining already about it and saying they feel Joan scammed them. But to be fair, isn't it the same with all "companies"? You promote your brand and product for people to buy it right? Not to defend Joan at all but just saying, as a consumer we have our own responsibility as well.Personally when someone says it's SOOOOO GOOD and perfect for all, I get SUPER SUSPICIOUS and I always take a second look because I don't trust people/companies! I mean at the end of the day they want to SELL!
I read and I hoped it would work on me despite the lavender oil etc. but knew I could get into trouble. Yet I was willing to spend the money although the cream isn't cheap!
Looking back at Joan's own review on YT and after using the cream I'm keen to know how many are in the Neogen office and how the various skintypes/age/gender etc was representative before this was approved to "fit all skin types".

The creams - Day cream is super thick yet easy to apply and Night cream - it's like a gel and light. I hate the lid, to me a little product escape each time when I close and i always had to clean it to avoid bacteria/dirt!!!
A little goes a long way so that's of good value for your money! It sets quickly to your skin.
I have super dry and somewhat sensitive but seems to be very selective for what drives the sensitivity. As a first impression I was super happy like WOW and no immediate irritation or anything. However 2 weeks in using it day and night I'm not so pleased.

1. Being as dry as I am, I urge to use my face mist throughout the day, usually it's enough like 2-4 times a day, now i want it every 30 min! If I tap on the skin before I mist it feels ok yet not the way other creams have done and therefore I urge to use my face mist way more than with other creams.
2. I get red around my cheeks!!!
3. When I put on make up, my foundation is caking!! Never happened with other creams!
4. it itches around some areas of my face.

I looked at Sokoglam's website to see what's out there for English speakers to support you in the choice (I bought mine using a Korean website and info in Korean). Sokoglam's website says "The nourishing Joan Day Vita Cream gives skin a morning boost with ingredients like energizing green tea and brightening vitamin C. The fast-absorbing formula also serves as a smooth canvas for makeup.
The Joan Night Vita Cream features a juicy gel formula that repairs, soothes, and strengthens skin while you sleep thanks to ingredients like lavender oil and vitamin E.
Using this perfect pair also ensures round-the-clock hydration.
Both formulas are free of parabens, artificial fragrance, animal ingredients, and mineral oil."

I think it gives you an idea right and also have full ingredient list! Awesome!!
But looking at the statement "smooth canvas for make up" - not for my skin! I have tried them separately and mixed. It's good they mention the Lavender oil!
It feels like a waste of money unfortunately (my own fault for want to try it out) as I have 90% of the jar left! I will see if my husband can use it, however he has even dryer skin than me...
I won't re-purchase it and I cannot recommend it to people with dry skin or sensitive skin.

I hope they can re-formulate it and remove oils and other ingredients which can irritate the skin. Possibly also only recommend it for certain skin types and not all!

Neogen Knit mask


I was not able to pick this one up in Korea last time.
But I found it in Germany the other month!
This face mask is not like any other sheet mask. This one is knitted!

1. it felt heavier on the skin
2. It's way bigger, even covers the neck!
3. It was drenched in all the goodies.

Sadly the pack only comes with one per pack and cost around 6 Euros!
Similar price as Korea.
I liked the feeling, I have hard mixed reviews, but I liked a lot. Still not sure how effective this one is compare to the regular sheet masks. I have read reviews but I didn't buy enough to be able to tell.
I bought one pink and one yellow, so far I have only tried the pink!

Sorry for the pics below but didn't want to show it all..haha

A fun mask to try, all the excess fluids can be spread on neck, arms etc!
Do not waste it.
if you have extra "dry masks" you can make a DIY sheet mask!

Neogen Bio-Peel Gauze Peeling - Lemon


As I went to Korea I was told about these, I picked up a few, but I started with the lemon one.
Wow what a game changer and what a great exfoliator!!
It's so easy to use there is no excuse not to. They really made it simple for us and the skin feels so different after use. I wonder how my skin will look like in a few months time. As this one contains a lot of Vitamin C I'm excited to see it making my skin clearer, smoother, and brighter!

I look forward to use them all, then to try the Wine and Green Tea versions ^^

You can get this at Sephora, Sokoglam, Amazon, SkinID (Sweden), Selfridges (UK)


Score
★★★★★/★★★★★



What is Bio-Peel Gauze Peeling?
The star ingredient of this version is lemon, it's loaded with Vitamin C (a powerful antioxidant) and nutrients that promote visibly clearer, smoother, and brighter skin!

A chemical and manual exfoliator that uses natural ingredients and innovative triple-pad technology. This product provides gentle yet effective exfoliation of dead skin cells and impurities, leaving skin smoother and clear. Dead skin cells are sloughed off the surface of the skin using the unique 3 layer pad technology, as lactic acid penetrates deep into your pores to clean out pore-clogging debris.

Solutions for:
- Uneven skin tone
- Dullness and uneven texture
- Oiliness
How to use

After cleansing, slip your fingers into the sleeve of the gauze peeling pad so that the criss-crossed gauze side is facing down. Use gentle, circular motions all over a dry face and neck, working your way up to your forehead.

Next, rotate the pad so that the gauze side is facing up and the soft, quilted side is facing down. Swipe the softer side across the face to pick up the remaining debris. Throw away pad. Rinse with lukewarm water.

Free of Parabens, Sulfates and Phthalates

Confession of a Skincare addict

As you know I came back from Asia a few days ago.
I spent 3 weeks in Korea and Japan! I managed to buy a lot, clothes, shoes, make up and skincare!!
Some of you might be amazed. But honestly, I will use them all. My hubby will support me ^^
Korean and Japanese skincare is the best. I bought most in Korea.
I was in heaven. And most items I got in a 1+1 deal. And a lot I also got on taxfree, not all but a lot.
So Yes I bought a lot, but if you have been to Korea, this is only a small part of all that's available.

I bought some stuff during Black Friday sale and shipped it to my parents in law as it was so cheap at the time.

So what did I buy?

Facial masks - and LOTS of them.
Foot masks - to get rid of old/dead skin
Cleansers - Oil and water based cleansers
Toners - Klairs, Son & Park beauty water
Moisturizers - creams
Lip masks
Eye masks
Eye creams
Soap - to wash face
Exfoliators
Esscences
Eye drops
Face mists
Hair mists
Lipsticks/tints
Eyeshadow
Leg patches - for sore muscles
Accessories - pads, puffs, brush cleaner
