This product is a hyped product. I wanted to know what the
hype was all about. Since the packaging is all in Korean I had to look up what
it is actually used for. Now I found out that there are 8 ways of using this product.
I decided to try all the possible ways
and find my preference.
The packaging is simple, it is a big container (300ml). that
will last me a long time. It has an extra lid inside the container, why I don’t
know but I like it so I’m going to keep it in.
The first way to use it is just to normally apply it on your
skin after your skin care routine as a moisturizer. I noticed when applying it
this way that it cools down the skin. It also makes it a bit stiky after
applying.
That brings me to number 2. It can also be used as a base
for your make up. It is like a primer. I do notice that my makeup stays on
longer with this gel. But in my mind I feel weird using my moisturizer as a primer.
The fifth is like an eye pack. You put the gel on a piece of
cotton and place it on your eyes. I noticed that the cooling effect helped my
eyes calm relax. It is nice after a stressful day to relax in that way. It is
supposed to help reduce swollen eyes. But since my eyes weren’t swollen I do
not know if that really works.
The third way is to use it after shaving. I noticed that
when ii used it on my legs afterwards. My skin felt moisturized. It did not
fell itchy. I also did not have any
redness on my skin. It just felt really calm.
The forth way is using it as a gel for your hair. This I am
not enthusiastic about. When I used it as a gel I expected it to make my hair
stay in place and would give it a nice smell. The nice smell I got. But my hair
did not stay in place at all. After only 5 minutes it was already all over the
place. And no I did not have a difficult
hair style that day. I just had a simple braid. The gel did make my hair look a
bit unhealthy which was not something I liked. So as a hair gel, I can’t recommend
this.
The fifth is like an eye pack. You put the gel on a piece of
cotton and place it on your eyes. I noticed that the cooling effect helped my
eyes calm relax. It is nice after a stressful day to relax in that way. It is
supposed to help reduce swollen eyes. But since my eyes weren’t swollen I do
not know if that really works.
The sixth way is to use it as a nail essence. For me this
did not really make any difference. My nails may have looked a bit softer and
their wasn’t as much redness as before but to say there was a huge difference is
wrong. I did like the fact that the redness was gone but I am not sure it was
because of the gel or that I just did not have any redness this week.
The seventh way is as a body lotion. You can use it all over
your body. Just like my face it just cools down my skin. It is perfect for in the
summer.
The last way of recommended ways for using this is as a pack
for relaxing sunburns. Now when I reviewed this product it had been raining for
the past 2 weeks. Even when the sun shined, it wasn’t strong enough to cause
any sunburn. Now I am a person that gets sunburns from the moment the summer
starts. I can image that with the cooling effect I have experienced so far I could
work for sunburns. I can already feel the coolness on my burned skin this upcoming
summer.
So my preferred ways of using this is just as a normal cream
and as an eye pack. I like the relaxation it gives me. As for the other ways they are not bad I just
think that personally I would use different products for those purposes, cause
in my mind it does not click that you can use 1 product for all these purposes.
Although it will be nice for traveling to just have 1 product for everything. I
might just bring only this product this summer and see if it can work for me. I
do know I will probably buy a new jar of this when I get the chance and just
stock up so I won’t run out.
See you next time,
Leonie
