*Milk; Dr. Young Sprinkling Gel Cream (review)

I purchased the Dr. Young Sprinkling Gel Cream a few weeks ago to replace my ~H2O+ Face Oasis which I recently finished and let me tell you, I am very impressed!
(I think Dr. Young and Dr. G are both a sub brand of Gowoonsaesang cause they do refer to Gowoonsaesang on the packaging and all products are manufactured by Biocostech Co. Ltd.)

The reason why I prefer using gel type moisturizers over regular lotions or creams is because I don't like the feeling of putting layers and layers of product on my face. After using a moisturizer, I still need to put on sunscreen, primer, foundation and powder (Yuck!!) so that is why it is important for me to find something light yet hydrating enough for my dry skin.

Out of all gel type moisturizers I have tried thus far, the Dr. Young Sprinkling Gel Cream has to be my favorite! The other ones I have tried are the ~H2O+ Face Oasis and Clinique's Moisture Surge. Both are quite good as they are very lightweight and easily absorbed into the skin. The main reason why the Dr. Young one is better is that it does not leave my skin feeling sticky like the ~H2O+ one and is more hydrating than the Clinique Moisture Surge.






Description

Dr. Young Sprinkling Gel Cream replenishes skin with ample nourishments and hydrating factors that come from alps glacial water, cactus extract and phyto-oligo.
It greatly improves the skin elasticity and moisture retention. Leaves your skin soft, smooth and supple.


Instructions

After cleansing and toning, apply the gel cream on entire face.
It can also be used as a 5-minute mask: apply on face and wait for 5 minutes. Use water or tissue to clear away the cream.


The verdict

I am absolutely loving this product! It feels so refreshing and it does leave my skin feeling soft and smooth as it claims to do. The only thing I don't like is the packaging. It's heavy and inconvinient. Not to mention there is a chance it would break if you bring it when travelling.

Pros: Oil-free. Lightweight. Pleasant scent. Can also use as mask.
Cons: No SPF. Heavy, breakable container.

Rating: 4.5/5

*cookiie; mini sasa haul

Thanks to the more strict custom rules we have here in Holland, ordering things overseas has become more painful for me. I had two EMS parcels coming from Yesstyle.com and I had to pay around €60 for taxes. Apparantly, they're more strict with EMS parcels so it is still pretty easy to receive normal parcels without getting caught in customs. And so I finally gained the courage to order some stuff at Sasa.com, which arrived fast and safely!



As you can see, it's not much since I was trying to play safe for a little, hehe. ☺




New skincare products! I've said that I'll be getting some new skincare products in my skincare post as I was only using the Acne Removing Cream by Laozhongyi. That cream is really good, but also a little bit on the expensive side.

These face moisturizers are quite cheap though. The Dr.G DR. YOUNG Sprinkling Gel Cream (50 ml) cost $28.40 and the Cyber Colors HYDRO PLUS+ Soft Hydrating Night Cream (50 ml) cost $32. I use so little of the product for every application so it should at least last for 3-5 months. As for the IsQueen RICE Rice High Performance Eye Gel (30 g), it's not bad. I don't really see a lot of difference around the eye area, but I do feel like it's getting moisturized well.



A very cheap oil cleanser (KOKURYUDO HIPITCH Deep Cleansing Oil, 215 ml) that works really well, especially for my eye make up. You'd need a few more pumps for heavier make up, but it's really gentle for the skin and so far I'm loving it. ♥ I also got the Nexcare Acne Dressing (18 pcs) since Connie/Skin Deco's review impressed me a lot.



Lastly, I got a Dr.G HYDRA INTENSIVE Blemish Balm Cream SPF30 PA++ (5 ml) sample for free as they were having a special offer during the time I ordered these things and some cotton puffs. I haven't tried the BB cream yet but I think I'll be reviewing it soon.

That's it! I love Sasa.com but I'm really broke at the moment, haha.. If you got any questions about these products or anything, then don't hesitate to ask~ ^^
