innisfree orchid night cream

it's time for another sample review.. i don't know why but i'm kind of attracted to innisfree rather than other korean brands. i've already set my heart on their soybean energy essence and committed to their mini size product. and i was interested in the orchid line, though i wasn't sure which one to pick. orchid line is targeted for wrinkle repair, whitening, and nourishing. the story is, it's made from orchids grew in jeju, that survived harsh winter in jeju. okay, i'm hooked. though i haven't shown any sign of aging yet, but treat early won't hurt right?

the sample is a duo sample, both enriched cream and night cream in a sachet sample, but they are separated. each sample can last to two usage, so i've used this night cream for 4 days. not a long period to make conclusion, but it's enough to make an impression.


what they said about it:
ingredients: jeju cymbidium kanran makino, cactus fruit extract, mandarin peel extract, camellia leaf extract, green tea extract, pea extract, adenosine.
ochidelixir extracted from jeju cymbidium kanran makino offers radiance and vitality to dry skin. takes care of skin trouble healthily to brighten skin tone. it has 5 free system: paraben, synthetic color, dioxin, mineral, animal ingredients free.
the cymbium orchids in jeju have great antioxidant effect, supplies glow and enriches protective power naturally derived from the skin. care for wrinkles, resilience and UV blockage at once with nutrients. crystal flowering technology creates skin-like layer to catch moisture inside and outside the skin.

the package: the real product is packaged in a tub. though i don't like big tub like that, hopefully innisfree is pretty considerate and give spatula inside the box. the entire orchid line is packaged in purple packaging.

the smell: it smells nice! they say it's the orchid fragrance, but for me it just smells nice. hahaa.. i can't differentiate smell.. sorry.. but it's a pretty strong smell, so probably if you don't like strong fragrant.

the product: it's an ivory, thick cream. very thick.. and so moisturizing. FYI, at night i use my toner, and skinfood peach pore sake serum, which is mattifying, and then this night cream... sooo.. the serum is kind of the opposite of the night cream, so my face won't become greasy in the morning. in fact, it becomes moisturizing enough but still looks matte. but the cream is a bit too thick for my taste.

some say that this cream cause breakouts. and for me, i'm not sure, i have a growing pimple on my nose, but i'm not sure if it's caused by the night cream of the bb cream that i've been used twice. but i stopped using it today, and i'll put my regimen back to my old regimen before starting using enriched cream, so i'll inform you which one cause the breakouts.

*update: well, i use my old regimen for 2 days, and voila! my growing pimple vanished. sadly i have to inform you that this night cream cause my breakouts. hopefully i'll get lucky with the enriched cream which i intend to use tonight"
