L-R : Face cream, Serum and Toner

I was suffering from sensitive skin and was breaking out like mad 5 months ago. I was having redness on my cheeks and also pimples popping out randomly. I decided to try a sensitive skincare range. I got to know about this range from origins on accident. I was in seoul and shopping at Shila and was looking for a natural skin care. While I was at origins counter getting my Modern Friction, the SA recommended me this range. I decided to buy the whole range (almost the whole range to be exact). Having said that, not everything was in full size.

The serum works really well for me. Within 3 weeks, the redness and the dryness has reduced, but not the pimples, I treated that with another product which I will tell you all about it soon :).

I am not so keen about the smell of the products. For some strange reason it smells “medicinal”, which is probably contributed by the all-natural products I assume. Having said that, I have a friend who uses this range and she described the scent as “therapeutic”. So I guess it really depends on individual when it comes to scents.

White color - Face Cream
Brown - Serum

The serum absorbs fairly quickly and the face cream complements the serum very well, the only down side is that I find the cream too heavy for morning use. I used the toner, serum and face cream during the day and night for 3 consecutive weeks. Then after that, I only use them at night.

Verdict : Based on personal experience, this range does work to calm the skin. It takes at least 3 weeks to see the result and I think that the time frame needed for any skin care. The only concern I have is the face cream being too heavy for morning use. Either than that, it did help to calm my skin when I needed that the most. I have finish using everything by now and I may repurchase this range when I get sensitive skin again.

Price : N/A – I can’t remember how much I paid in Seoul for these.
