Product Review: iWhite Korea Aqua Moisturizing Cream

     Here's the continuation review of another iWhite Korea product that was sent to me by Biocostech Phils. Corp. Yes, it's the continuation because I've mentioned in my last post (iWhite Korea Whitening Pack) that this is a good moisturizer to use after the peeling. This water-based moisturizer is a great combination to the Whitening Pack because it delivers in moisturizing your face, making it soft and supple plus the cooling sensation it gives that can make a stressed skin very relax. I presume you already read positive reviews about this moisturizing cream from beauty bloggers weeks ago so here's my take on iWhite Korea Moisturizing Cream.

     iWhite Korea is a skin care brand formulated in Korea that specializes not only in whitening the skin but also in improving its overall texture through the natural plant extracts in their products that are refined through Bio-Nanotechnology.

     iWhite Korea Moisturizing Cream is a water-base moisturizer refined by Bio-Nanotechnology, making it more potent, giving a more radiant and fair complexion. It revitalizes and improves skin condition, protects skin against cellular damage and premature aging, maintains elasticity and firmness of the skin and leaves a cool and refreshing feeling. Ideal for all skin types :)

Product Review: iWhite Korea Whitening Pack

     Hi dearies! I'm happy and excited to announce that I've added another product to my skin care regimen. Since I need to be extra vigilant in taking care of my skin during summer where I experience breakouts here and there, the need to add an extra boosts to my cleanse-tone-moisturize routine is a must.

     I've known iWhite Korea way, way back and the first product that I've tried from this skin care brand was their coffee scrub but it's already phased out. Boo! I love that scrub because it's effective in making dull skin bright and the beads were helpful in removing deep seated dirt on my face. So when Ms. Kim of iWhite Korea sent me this Whitening Pack for review, I never think twice. I'm so giddy to try it because the product looks very promising. While reading the list of main ingredients I was surprised that it contains mostly natural extracts that's proven to help and minimize skin impurities. After using the product 4 times a week for 2 weeks now I saw immediate and great results. Wanna know why you should try this Whitening Pack? Click READ ON to find out and see photos below, you'll be amazed with the results :)

   

     iWhite Whitening Pack instantly removes dead skin, deep-seated dirt and other impurities to reveal a radiant, glowing, younger-looking skin. Especially formulated with Mulberry Extract that whitens dark skin and evens out discoloration, Panax Ginseng Root Extract that revitalizes and improves skin health and Vitamins A,C,E and B5 to prevent premature aging.

     Here are the BENEFITS you can get each time you use the whitening pack, since you can use it 2-4 times a week you can really see the difference week after week.

     And this is how I do it, please prepare yourself for Halloween! Nah, just kidding XD. While the Whitening Pack is on my face, I keep myself busy for 15-20 minutes like blog hopping or refraining my face to do different expressions as this may break the mask. I usually do this ritual before I go to sleep. There's a difference before and after using this Whitening Pack and when I wake up, soft, smooth and glowing skin- TRUE THAT!

L- Freshly Applied Mask R- After 15 minutes   

iWhite Korea Whitening Pack
After peeling the mask off- if you placed an ample amount of the product on your face, it will be easier to remove and it will not be messy at all.

iWhite Korea Whitening Pack
My skin is not perfect and flawless, it's dull and a bit oily, with freckles and dark spots too. Whew! but this peel off mask made it glowing and fresh minus the eyebags.

What I like:

• The price- very affordable. 
• The scent is not over powering. Doesn't have a weird or funky smell. There's a hint of minty scent whenever I apply this on my face.
• I love the cooling sensation it gives. It's very relaxing while waiting for it to dry up.
• I can feel dirt and dead skin cells coming off my face. This is the "tiis ganda" moment. It's a bit painful but this thing means it's effective in removing all the dirt in my face.
• Even if I felt a bit of pain while peeling the mask off my face, there's no redness, irritation and whatsoever.
• I saw immediate results after 15 minutes. My skin felt soft and smooth. 
• It's really effective in terms of brightening. I can see a glow after peeling the mask off. 
• Sealed with a foil, freshness guaranteed.
• It's available in convenient sizes, a full-sized in tube (95g) and in sachet (22g). 
• Easily accessible.
• There's a batch and manufacturing date printed on it.

What I don't like: 

• Messy application. 

Will I repurchase? Yes! Planning to purchase back-ups for the whole family :)

Recommendation:

     I give this a 5/5 rating. Oh, another perfect score means I really love the product. Another addition to my skin care addiction indeed. I recommend this to combination and oily skin. IMO, dry skinned individuals may find this mask very tight on the skin and they will have a painful experience peeling it off. But if you can tolerate it, then go as long as you can tolerate the pain and don't forget to use a very good moisturizer to refresh your skin after the stress from peeling. I recommend iWhite Korea Aqua Moisturizing Cream as your facial stress reliever after the peel, it's also effective to moisturize your skin.
