Skincare: Bio Essence Tri-Action Boost Hydra Moisturising Lotion

I bought this quite sometime ago but never got to really use it because when I first tried it out, it feels sticky and disgusting on my face. However, I re-read the instructions and it says to massage the lotion in upon application.


The bottle is actually made of glass, however, I wish they had made this into a pump. It's rather hard to get the content out as it's not liquidy enough. It's a lotion consistency where by a pump or a soft squeeze bottle will be more suitable. I wonder what was the designer thinking when they created this bottle? Silly much?


To get the contect out, I would have to shake rather hard but the amount of lotion coming out from the bottle from 1 shake is good enough for 1 application. Bottle was slightly heavy and not transparent, so we won't know for sure if there is still lotion left as and when.

Application wise, I started doing this: I rub the lotion with my 2 hands, then apply everything onto my face in a massage motion (if this makes sense). Within a few minutes, the lotion gets absorbed and I can't say it felt great but it didn't feel greasy or leave any sticky residue. Lotion smells of green tea - as in Ginvera's green tea range fragrance.


Here is the ingrediants list for anyone who's interested.

Verdict: I've been using this for the past 10 days - only as a night routine though, as I have other creams/lotions to finish up as well. Didn't see much of a difference on my skin - it maintained. I guess I won't be repurchasing.

Should I try out Hada Labo or Laneige next? Since I'm heading to Seoul in March, I might be getting myself some of the core items that I might want to use. But alas, I still need to consult their specialist to know what's good for my skin.

My skin type: combination skin with oily t-zone. I get blackheads on my nose area and also areas near the nose but before the cheeks. I get occasional zits when it's time of the month.
