okay, i've determined to finish all my samples. all least to lessen it half from now. and decided which product i want to buy in full size. right now, i'll just do a quick review for skinfood black sugar perfect first serum fresh samples.
i've been searching everywhere to find out what's the difference between the old version and the fresh version one, but i can't find anything. so i won't comment about the effect. for all i know, this one is supposed to be serum in a tissue, so you can use it anywhere. just like wet tissue, but infused with serum. this is the description from en.koreadepart.com: rich black sugar minerals from brazil remove dead skin for clear silky skin. soften pores and sebum while giving moisture to keep skin moisturized. 1 time use separate packaging give fresh use anywhere. no benzophenone, no mineral oil, no silicon oil, no acrylamide, no talc, no sulfate. to use: one time a day, after washing face take out the pad. wipe face gently and tap for serum to absorb.
the packaging: it's very different from the original black sugar line. usually they use brown or brownish color for black sugar line, but this time they use turquoise for the color of the package. probably to represent the fresh tag. it's quite big, bigger than the black sugar perfect first serum sample package. and i can feel the cotton pad inside.
the product: after you open the package, you can take out a wet cotton pad. the cotton pad has two sides, the rough one and the soft one. like the original one. you use the rough one to slough off any dead skin cells, and then use the soft side to tap excess serum unto your skin.
the smell: it smells unlike the original serum. for me, it smells like wet tissue smells. just like the one you can get in the restaurants. no sugary smell at all.
the result: i've read a numerous review of the original one, and turned out that most bloggers said that the "first serum" term confused a lot of them in terms of usage order. they thought you wash your face than use it afterwards, like the first essence. but turned out you should wear it after toner, just like usual. so i use this after toner. and one package is quite big. i divided each sample into two portion and share it with my husband. on me, the rough side doesn't look dirty with dead skin cells, just like the other bloggers. and when i pat the smooth side unto my face, the serum comes out like water draining my face. feels like i'm washing my face again, this time with serum. but on my husband, the rough side did a pretty good job, i can see dirt on the cotton pad.
overall, this is a weird version of black sugar line. it's just like wet tissue. and one cotton pad is toooooo big for one usage.
