Product Review: IWhite Korea The Original Nose Pack


Hello my lovely readers! I'm back with a product review from another IWhite Korea product, The Original Nose Pack. 

Product Description: 

This nose pack is a cream type nose pack that conveniently adjust to the shape of your nose, making it easier and more effective in eliminating blackheads and whiteheads. You can use it on oil prone areas like the nose area and the T-zone to minimize the appearance of pores and excess oil for a clear, smooth, and radiant skin.

Contains natural active ingredients and Vitamins A, C, and E that help:
  • Sooth skin while effectively stripping off dirt
  • Tighten pores
  • Improve skin texture

I have a combination type of skin and I am usually prone to blackheads and whiteheads especially on my nose and T-zone area. IWhite Korea's The Original Nose Pack is formulated with the following plant extracts that perfectly work together to effectively remove the deep seated dirt on my clogged pores without being too harsh on my skin:
  • Panax Ginseng Root Extract
  • Mulberry Root Extract
  • Aloe Vera Leaf Extract

HOW TO USE:
  • After washing your face, apply a generous amount of the nose pack solution on the entire nose area.
  • Wait for about 15 minutes or until it completely dries then peel off the pack upward starting from the base.
  • For best results, use 2 to 4 times a week.

THUMBS UP: 


Packaging - As with any other IWhite Korea product, the packaging is really cute. 


Consistency - It is creamy in form although it reminds me of an Elmer's Glue, it is actually workable thus, you can control the amount of product that you'll use.



Scent - It smells clean and fresh. The scent doesn't irritate my nose.


Affordability - For only Php 18.00, a sachet is good for 2x usage. It is also available on a 50g tube for Php 189.00



Effectiveness - True to its claims, this product didn't disappoint. It really lifts the deep seated dirt on my pores but of course it wouldn't get off your blackheads and whiteheads all at once that's why it is recommended to use it for 2 to 4 times a week.



THUMBS DOWN: 

 I have a love - hate relationship with its creamy texture because of the messy application whenever I use it.



I always have to make sure that my nose don't get sweaty because the product seems to loosen up when it gets wet and would not be as effective when it is dry.


Will I repurchase it? Maybe, but I would prefer nose patches if those are available so as to save me from the messy application. How about you guys? what is your favorite nose patch or nose pack product? Tell me on the comment section below.

See you soon! :)

Product Review: IWhite Korea 2 Minute Whitening Miracle



A part of my Watsons stash last February, IWhite Korea's 2 Minute Whitening Miracle is the latest addition to the brand's skin care line. This product is a special wash off mask that promises to give your skin not only a healthy dose of whitening care but also hydration and relaxation. It also acts as a gentle exfoliator and helps in prevention and reduction of acne.

It is enriched with the following ingredients that will brighten and nourish the skin:
  • Limonia Acidissima Extract which is a mild natural solution to skin brightening and reduction of acne scars, dark spots, old scars, and hyper pigmentation.
  • Lonicera Caprifolium Extract which is an effective anti - inflammatory and anti - bacterial agent.
  • Bambusa Vulgaris Leaf Extract which is the richest natural source of silica that is essential to skin regeneration by providing strength to the collagen in our skin.
  • Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract (Aloe Vera Leaf Extract)

With all this goodness in one sachet, who wouldn't want to try this product right? This comes in a gel type of consistency and an 8ml sachet is good for 3 - 4 times consumption which is also the suggested frequency of usage in a week. 

HOW TO USE:
  • On a clean and dry face, apply a sufficient amount all over the face avoiding the eye area.
  • Once the mask is spread evenly on the face, just simply leave it on for 2 minutes.
  • After 2 minutes, gently start massaging your face in a circular motion for another minute. This step helps seal in the active ingredients into the skin while gently exfoliating it.
  • After massage, completely wash off the mask with water.


THUMBS UP:


Packaging - come on guys, it's so cute! :) you gotta love that flower detail enumerating the benefits that you'll get if you use the mask.


Consistency - it is in gel form thus, it can be easily spread onto the skin and doesn't feel heavy.



Scent - I love that it is fragrant but doesn't come too strong unlike other masks. This has a fresh flowery kinda scent to it.


Affordability - it is only Php 24.50 and is good for a week's use. It is available in different drugstores and supermarket.



Effectiveness - It gently exfoliates my skin without drying it. I love that it lifts dead skin cells and my face feels very hydrated  after using this product. . It indeed has a brightening effect and I feel that with continued use, it will also help me with my acne scars.



THUMBS DOWN:


I honestly can't think of anything that will give this product a thumbs down but I hope IWhite Korea will eventually have it available on tube just like their other products.


I will definitely repurchase IWhite Korea's 2 Minute Whitening Miracle considering all the benefits that I can get. This is so far one of my favorite product for my skin care needs.

See you soon! :)
