i really need to be more diligent in using up my samples. i've a pile of unused sample and i believe almost all of them are near their expired date. there's one brand in that pile that intrigued me, kicho. i've never heard of it before and it's quite expensive if you're buying the full size. so i really want to see what's good about it.
this is the description from glamaco website: gel-emulsion toner improves skin texture and brightness. this fresh, nutritional emulsion toner refines, hydrates, soothes, evens and brightens skin tone and improves skin texture. contains kicho's exclusive patented phyto blend of natural ingredients to reveal glowing, vitalised skin. the concentrated emulsion calms and purifies whilst respecting the natural ecological balance with velvety-smooth, radiant effects. can be used for all skin types.
the packaging: the full size comes in a bottle obviously, and the sample comes in white sachet. it has pretty simple design. only the brand name and tiny text that indicated the product name at front and a bit description at the back in english. it only contains 1 ml product, which i don't think will be enough.
the scent: reading the word "fresh" gives me the idea that this one will smell like the ocean, or mint, or something that reminds me of fresh feeling, but the moment i put it on my palm, i can smell the alcohol inside. this does contain alcohol but they say it's only for the mild astringent and anti microbial effect. well, surely if you're sensitive to alcohol, you might want to think twice.
the product: this is pretty intriguing product. it's described as a gel-emulsion toner. now basically toner usually has two types, the watery toner and slightly viscous toner. i never encounter a gel-emulsion toner. and this one does have an gel-emulsion texture. it's viscous like emulsion but feels like gel when you touch it and it becomes watery when you spread it around. for 1 ml, it's hard to decide whether it's really transparent or not.
the result: as i've predicted, 1 ml in gel texture is not enough for my face. so probably they want to reconsider the sample size. but it does hydrating my skin and leave slightly sticky feeling afterward. but not super greasy. since this is a single use, i can't say anything about the soothing and brightening effect.
i think this will work well for oily skin since it comes in gel texture and quite refreshing as it's supposed to be. but for the price tag? i don't think everyone will get it instantly even though it works well. another good thing is this one is cruelty free. it's quite difficult to find korean cruelty free skincare product, so if you're looking for one, you can try kicho. it also has a bunch of brightening ingredients, so if you're looking for one, you can try it. also it is formulated without parabens, benzophenone, silicone, artificial dyes and animal ingredients. again, it's hard to find skincare products that doesn't have paraben in their ingredients list, so if it's your concern, this might be an option for you. as for me, the sample is not enough to make me buy the full size product.
