i received these samples from tester korea awhile back. and like always, i keep forgetting to use my samples. that's why i just found it recently. since i don't normally use emulsion, i keep forgetting these, but now i'm determined to use up all my samples ASAP.
this is the description from en.koreadepart.com: keeps moisture balance for skin and provides plentiful moisture. creates clear and new face by promoting elasticity and liveliness. paraben free, pigment free, mineral oil free, benzophenone free.
unfortunately, i also noticed a small notification that this product is discontinued by missha. i can't find it on their website too. too bad i found this one quite late.
the packaging: the samples come in small bottle, probably 4 ml, with screw top. the bottle color is similar to the full size product, which is light aqua. now, luckily this emulsion is quite runny, so getting out the product is not so difficult. but if it's slightly thicker, then it will be hell to get the product out. i do hope the brand will consider changing the packaging for emulsion samples. probably in a little tube or a pump bottle like skinfood's will be nice.
the smell: oh, being testing so many floral-scented products, smelling a nice fresh, aquatic scent is refreshing. smells like ocean. probably that's why they named it marine.
the product: it's a white runny cream. i forgot the consistency of skinfood tomato emulsion, but this one is quite runny. makes it easier to absorb. it doesn't leave any sticky feeling afterwards.
the result: like i said before, i don't usually use emulsion so i don't know what to expect. at first, the emulsion doesn't seem like enough. my skin is producing more sebum than usual, so i put my moisturizer on top of the emulsion. and then after a day or so (i use this emulsion twice a day) my skin become greasy again, so i think now it's time to reduce the moisturizer, and i was right. i have two samples bottle, and it lasts for about 20 days or so. and so far i like it. it moisturizes my skin nicely, and if i want to use it at night with moisturizer, i can feel my skin being plumped and soft the next day. no breakouts for me too.
so, if only missha is still producing this emulsion, then i will absolutely recommend you who have oily skin to try it. for normal skin, you might want to consider putting moisturizer on top. and dry skin can still enjoy it too, by putting it under your usual moisturizer. once again, i'm disappointed to find out about this emulsion just after it's being discontinued. but don't be sad just yet, the product is still on koreadepart, with sales price tag too.
