if you've read my other posts, you might know that recently i'm slacking in many areas. i'm way behind my review posts, and i don't use my sample the way i used to. i have many of them in my stash. some of them even expired. that's why i decided to use one at least in two weeks. there's one brand sample in my stash that i'm interested in so i decided work from there. it is kicho. i've tried their eye cream sample and i don't like it, so i have mixed feeling about this one.
this is the description from hermo website: formulated with kicho's 7 patented natural protector complex to provide significant hydration and refinement of skin texture and tone. soy phyto placenta water's nutritional extracts soothes stressed skin. clinically proven to add to the skin's moisture reservoir kicho phyto natural moisture cream gives hydration that lasts throughout the entire day. used at the last stage of basic skin care, it forms a protective layer to give a fresh dewy look all day long. skin appears bright and smooth. dermatologist tested. for all skin types. formulated without parabens, benzophenone, alcohol, silicone, artificial dyes, and animal ingredients.
the packaging: the sample comes in regular white square sachet. it has tiny text that indicates the brand name and the type of sample. at the back there's another tiny text with a bit of description. but it's really tiny so i don't try reading it even though it's in english. the full size jar however looks very sophisticated, very minimalist and it comes in 50 ml, just like any other moisturizer.
the scent: it smells like ginseng, but only if you sniff it really close. somehow it reminds me of sulwhasoo products. although i'm not sure if they smell the same since it's been awhile since i use any of sulwhasoo product. but let me assure you, it's very subtle.
the product: it's a white cream, but pretty thick. it feels balmy. a bit hard to spread out, similar to the eye cream. a bit hard to spread this out.
the result: when i put it on my hand and spread it around, it sorts of melts and leaves watery traces. but on my face, it gives matte finish after it's completely absorbed. it doesn't feel sticky, but i can feel there's a layer on my face, like waxy feeling. the feeling that you get from touching candle, if that makes any sense.. it's moisturizing alright, but i only have one sachet, so i can say anymore about it. and the sample is quite stingy. it's only enough for one use, and i don't think it's even enough if you have bigger face than mine.
honestly, i can't conclude anything about this cream aside that i don't like the feeling that it gives me. and after searching for the description, i found out about the price, and it's quite expensive, way above my budget, so definitely won't try the full size. i think you should try getting a sample before buying it, but i think if you're looking for natural products, free of paraben and alcohol, and probably cruelty free too, then you can consider getting this one.
