The Face Shop Backryuncho Wrinkle Stop Eye Cream Review
I recently noticed that I have some line forming near my eye but wasn't too sure if it was wrinkles or due to my eye bags....This cream seem to be what I was looking for and the fact that it's moisturizing is a plus since my skin type is dry.
A wrinkle care eye cream providing intensive care to fine lines around the eye area. Effective for moisturization, Backryuncho softens and moisturizes dry skin around the eye.
Eye Cream
What I found quite surprising was how small it was, I knew that there was only 30ml of cream but it was still a surprise - I oddly find it amusing since its so small and cute, its only 5cm x 5cm.
I use this twice a day, morning and night.
This cream is thick but not the heavy/oily type which is what I like about it the most. I absolutely hate creams that leave a oily feeling (even though its considered as moisturizing for most people...), this cream isn't oily in my opinion and is light weight compared to other eye creams I have used before.
I found that this cream did work for me. The lines I had at the corner of my eyes have gone after a little more than 2 weeks of using this whilst the lines under my eyes have greatly reduced as well.
This cream has a light fragrance and its scent is similar to Olay's cream.
Repurchase?
Yes, if I ever finish this since I only use a very small amount each time.

THE FACE SHOP Chia Seed Watery Toner, emulsion & Sebum Control Mositure Cream Review
I originally brought the toner & emulsion as a set deal in Korea which also came with a sample of the cream & a serum. I ended up buying the full size of the cream since I fell in love with it :) I've used this line for 3 months.
Toner
"A moisturizing toner that instantly hydrates the skin, tones dry and patchy dead skin cells and moisturizes the skin as if water is absorbed."
Not much to say about this apart from it does what the description says :). It also removes any dirt residues that survived the washing procedure.I find it quite standard since it's just a normal hydrating toner in the end.
I like the design/colour of the bottle although its quite simple. The pump makes it easy for me to apply without using too much. The bottle is made from glass which I don't like since its heavy & I'm quite clumsy - I've already dropped it a few times, luckily it has broke yet.
Emulsion
"A moisturizing lotion that improves suppleness and moisturizes the skin a degree higher with nutrients in organic chia seeds"
Compared to other emulsions I've used, this is more of a light weight lotion. It doesn't moisture my skin completely, I need to use a cream afterwards. I didn't really see any improvements on suppleness for me :( For people with dry type skin that only want to use an emulsion & nothing else I wouldn't suggest using this.
The bottle is the same as the toner but slightly shorter. Despite the extra bit of toner, my toner is still my drained that the emulsion.
Cream
"Oil-free translucent cream providing hydration with moisture seeds & sebum control with cotton seeds"
Absolutely love this! I know that there's a moisture version but I like this one more. I always hated the oily feel I get a lot from creams. My younger sister likes to call this a aqua cream because its transparent & feels like gel than cream. I can't say much on sebum control since I have dry type skin and am never oily. BUT, for people with dry type skin, this cream is quite good in my opinion. It provides me a good amount of moisture and I stay moisturized for the whole day without having to reapply anything. As this cream is gel-like it absorbs well without a oily/greasy feel, the best part (my opinions) is that it gives my face a "boing-boing" bouncy feel - elasticity :) I can use the cream by itself without the emulsion & still feel moisturized!
Not sure if it's just me but due to the spoon/ spatula it comes with I end up scooping too much - took me a few time to adjust to the right amount.
All 3 products have the same fragrance - the scent is a medium level (not light yet not strong). I find it hard to describe its scent since I don't think its similar to a floral/sweet/fruity/perfume smell - I still really like it though :)
Repurchase?
I did for the cream after I finished the sample. The other items are standard/basic in my opinion.

SKINFOOD Royal Honey Emulsion, Toner & Hydro Cream Review
I brought this line of product after my skin recovered from rashes (from an allergic reaction).
This line advertises that it's products contains
royal black honey and royal jelly extracts that replenished moisture
and transforms skin into a nice honey-glazed complexion.
I've been using this for 6 months and it's did what it says it does ^-^ which I am very happy about this as I have dry and sensitive skin - it's hard for me to find something that doesn't cause a break out or irritation.
Emulsion
Keeps my face nourished throughout the day even when I use it alone. It has a light honey smell. It's consistency is more on the watery side but not so much - with the design on the opening I would have preferred if it was more watery, as I felt as if I was having a war with the bottle every time I had to tap the lotion out (sometimes too much comes out....).
The emulsion bottle need a pump!
Toner
Cleans well and doesn't dry out my face like what a lot of other toners do on me. My skin feels a little bit sticky after I use this which maybe because it contains honey - it's not on a sticky level where it would bother me too much or make me feel dirty.This is a little bit thicker than most toner but not to the point it's considered as a gel.
Hydro Cream
I don't usually use this a lot since it give me a greasy feeling after I put it on. I usually use this when I'm really dry (to the point of being flakey) and desperately need moisture. It does the trick and moisturizes my skin instantly. Compared to many other creams I've used, this cream is not very thick - my skin absorbs it quicker :)
Looks a bit like vaseline XD
Repurchase?
Yes! I love how it doesn't give me a break out and actually helps my skin when recovering from a break out/ rashes from an allergic reaction.
