No matter how expensive your makeup is or how much you lather it on, it's best if you have the perfect base to start of with. So today, I'm going to share with you another product from G9 SKIN.
G9 SKIN not only has cosmetic products but they also have specially formulated skincare products that is best suited for anti-city pollution. Korean cosmetics are all the craze especially when we see those porcelain skin actresses in Korean dramas. They might be able to afford high end skincare treatments but here's how you can get that milky white porcelain skin.
This skincare product is actually a 2-in-1 beauty product that is known as the 'instant tone-up cream or whitening cream'. This cream aims to whiten, moisturize and also help to improve your skin complexion. You can use it as a skincare and makeup product both day and night.
The G9 SKIN White in Whipping Cream actually acts as a primer which evens out your skin tone and gives a nice surface before applying your makeup.
Packaging
Korean products always have the cutest packaging ever! Just look how cute they packaged their product in a milk bottle. Inside the milk box packaging you have a jar which has their products filled to the brim. You have around 50g of products in each jar.
One downside is that there isn't any spatula provided. For those who are picky about double dipping in your products, you might want to get a separate spatula.
Formulation
The product itself has a smooth texture like whipping cream and as you can see there is actually a lot of product in the jar. You only need a minimal amount as this product actually spread out to quite a bit.
The G9 SKIN White In Whipping Cream is made from 9 moisturizing and whitening ingredients including milk protein extract and Vitamin E to create smooth and moist photoshopped skin.
As you can see, the texture is quite thick and you would need to spread it to allow it to be absorbed into your skin. The product forms tiny water droplets and do take note you have to really take some time to allow the product to absorb. For someone who has to rush out every time, this was a bit troublesome.
You can see how the thick cream actually turns into white droplets. This water drop formulation is very moisturizing which after it fully absorbs into your skin it gives a smooth finish. You can immediately see a whitening effect to your skin.
I do like the finishing touch as the whitening effect is not like you slather white cream but it's a whitening + brightening effect. I apply it on my face as a primer and also not forgetting my neck area. This product works well as a blur cream as well but you have to make sure you blend it in well. If not absorbed well, the product does sit on your fine lines and pores. You can also use this product in other areas you wish to tone up.
It’s time to experiment with new skincare! To be honest, I have not heard of G9 Skin until it enters into the Malaysian market recently. Looking at the cute, pastel-pink-and-white packaging of G9 Skin products, I can’t resist myself from trying it out!
