this is the last vitamin cream that i use. if you've read my previous posts, you'll know that i've tried their vitamin c and e. and since i'm aiming for anti-aging, the last one to the combo is vitamin a. even though these creams can be used together, but i choose to use them separately.
vitamin cream a (a plus lifting): best for normal to dry skin, wrinkle improvement and anti-aging functional, approved by KFDA. better to use at night time, can be used as eye cream. good with vitamin c/e/k.
the packaging: the outer box is color coordinated. the top is silver with hologram pattern, which makes it so difficult to capture since the text is printed on the top part. the bottom of the box is colored according to the vitamin type. for A it's dark blue (slightly different from E, which is light blue). the product itself comes in a tube, just like the other, similar to toothpaste tube, with black screw cap. there's also a label on the tube that will tell you which vitamin cream it is. the size is just like the other, only 30 ml, quite small considering the other arsenals in my vanity comes in big sizes.
the scent: all i can say it's quite fragrant, but i can't describe it any further. but it's not annoying like the e one.
the product: it's also a white cream just like the e one. but it has different consistency. the a one is quite watery, while the e one is quite thick. although it's watery, it takes a while to be absorbed. and i don't know about the finish, but sometimes i feel it leaves slightly sticky feeling, but some days it doesn't. i don't know what gives the different feeling, but usually the order before using this cream is pretty the same, so i really don't know what causes it.
the result: well, since i don't have any lines or wrinkle yet, i don't know how to judge its anti-aging properties. all i know, it's quite moisturizing, but not as heavy as the e cream, so it can be layered with other moisturizing product. even sleeping pack at the end of my routine. even though it works best for normal to dry skin, i think combination skin can use this one too, as for oily skin, perhaps trying the sample first would be wise.
well, suffice to say that i won't be purchasing all those creams again, not because it's useless, but because of the effect is not quite noticeable. i stopped using these vitamin creams while i was away to melbourne, and my skin didn't experience any changes except for longing moisture since it was winter in melbourne and i didn't have my usual arsenal. with the size and the price, i don't think i'm willing to pay that amount of money for 30 ml tubes that only gives me moisture. but all of them don't break me out, and people keep saying that i don't age, so perhaps the creams help, or perhaps it's the whole skincare routine. but hey, don't let me stop you for trying these creams.. after all, it might be different for you. YMMV!
