avoskin your skin bae glow concentrate treatment - polypeptide + multi probiome, acetyl glucosamine + red algae

i was happy when avoskin released mini size of their new moisturizers. i wanted to try them all but if it's too much, then i won't be able to finish them all. that's why i'm glad for minis. anyway, i've tried the yellow and blue one, and the last one that i might be trying is their pink one since i'm not interested in the purple one (arbutin). this one is appealing because they say that it contains polypeptide and red algae. i was hoping that i could bring this on my japan trip as night cream, but later you'll see why it's not a good idea. 

this is the description translated from their website: water based moisturizer with lightweight gel texture and easy to absorb. aside from maintaining skin moisture, this moisturizer contains polypeptide which is effective in reducing fine lines and wrinkles as well as softening the skin. combined with acetyl glucosamine, one of amino acids that is available naturally in the skin to help maintain skin health and texture. equipped with red algae that has film-forming on skin surface that helps maintain skin moisture so it makes skin looks healthy and soft.

the packaging: it comes in a pink box with description and ingredients list printed on the side and the back of the box. the design is the same as the rest of other types. the only difference is the color. they color coded it according to the variation. the moisturizer comes in a pink plastic tub that has similar vibe as the box. since this is a mini one, they only come in regular tub. which means, it has screw cap and when you take it off, there's this white plastic separator so the air doesn't meet the product right away. as i've mentioned, there are two size, the full size one which is 30 ml and the mini one which is 15 ml. mine is the mini one so it's 15 ml. there's no spatula provided.

the scent: i don't think it's scented, but it doesn't smell weird nor foul either.

the product: just like its siblings, it's a lightweight gel type moisturizer. if i have to say, the texture is right between the blue one and the yellow one, with the blue one being thinner and the yellow one is thicker. but, even though this has some kind of viscosity to it, i can spread it around easily. though it takes a minute to be absorbed. looking at the ingredients, it looks promising, with a bunch of goody ingredients like glycerin, BG and red algae aside from several fermented extracts.

the result: looking at the ingredients, i thought it would be oaky to be used at night. however, the texture is too lightweight that it's not occlusive enough. i can even get away with using this in the morning as well! but, let me remind you that when i used this, i was in japan around 9-15 degrees so it's quite cool and a bit dry. that's why, after several days, i found that this moisturizer is more suitable for mornings and i have to use something else for night time as i still use my actives. it gives glowy finish and doesn't feel tacky. works well with my other skincare products. 

that's why i said, my original thought of using this as a night cream during my trip was failed. it's not occlusive enough during cold weather. more over if you used actives. i would say that this one is suitable for all skin types. maybe oily skin can use this at night, but for the other skin types, you can even use this in the morning. price wise, the full size one is a bit pricey, maybe because of the airless pump packaging, but the mini size one is quite affordable. but it finishes fast! anyway, if you're curious or not sure whether it will suit you or not, you can try the mini one first. as for me, my favorite will be the blue one and then the yellow one and this one is my least favorite because i expected it to be more occlusive. but that doesn't mean that this one is bad. it's just a matter of preference.
