I was sent some CUskin products to try earlier this month and I’m finally ready to post my thoughts after integrating them in my daily skincare regimen.
CUskin is a Korean cosmeceutical brand which has been collaboratively developed by doctors of medicine, doctors of oriental medicine, and dermatologists in the CU Dermatologist Network. Their products were initially sold only at skin clinics and aesthetic treatment shops, they are now gradually expanding to franchises as well as their own online shop.
Dr. Repair Skin
Dr. Repair Skin is formulated to accelerate healing, enhance tissue repair and diminish dark pigmentation. According to the CUskin PR, it can also be used on areas affected by acne. After testing thoroughly, I’m concluding that it does calm breakouts in the beginning stages but not fully formed ones like the unfortunate pimple in the picture below.
Before (January 8th) and after (January 28th) pictures of my brow.
It’s a battle to keep my cheeks clear, they are always plagued by these infernal crap (- ω -)
I enjoy the scent of this cream, it is perfume-y yet comforting. It’s far preferable over my Annasalbe cream that smells like rotten eggs. In terms of consistency and texture, the cream feels light and smooth. It is so lovely to use - it absorbs easily, doesn’t dry out my skin and a little goes a long way.
I will purchase it once I run out even though it is a fairly expensive upkeep.
The ingredient list for Dr. Repair Cream:
Water, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Betaine, Butylene Glycol, Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Centella Asiatica Extract, Cetearyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Dimethicone, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Triethanolamine, Carbomer, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Phenoxyethanol, Fragrance.
Smooth Moisture Cream
Moisturizers are very difficult to evaluate as they depend on your individual skin type, personal preference as well as the changes in weather. This is one of the reasons why I’m only going to touch on the scent and texture of Smooth Moisture Cream, besides the obvious - it is impossible to ascertain the effects of any particular skincare product after using only three sample sachets.
Smooth Moisture Cream is designed to moisturize, nourish, and protect dry and aging skins. It is a rich, white cream that sinks into my skin like butter. When it is completely absorbed, it forms a smooth protective barrier. I do catch a faint chemical like scent from it, but it is virtually undetectable once it is completely taken in by my skin.
I couldn't resist adding this bit in, even though I said I wouldn't earlier on~ As far as initial impression goes, it is great at making my face feel firmer (or should I say more youthful? hahaha) but I came to notice that it increases sebum production.
The ingredient list for Smooth Moisture Cream:
Water, Glycerin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil, Hydrogenated Polydecene, Dimethicone, Glycol Stearate SE/Cetearyl Alcohol/Stearic Acid/Hydrogenated Lecithin, Butylene Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate, Butylene Glycol, Polyglyceryl-3 Methylglucose Distearate, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Cetearyl Alcohol, Stearyl Alcohol, Salvia Officinalis (Sage) Leaf Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Betaine, Sea Water, PEG-5 Glyceryl Stearate, Ceramide 1/Ceramide 3/Ceramide 6II/Phytosphingosine/Cholesterol/Sodium Lauroyl, Lactylate/Carbomer/Xanthan gum, Tocopheryl Acetate, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Methyl Paraben, Phenoxyethanol, Propyl Paraben, Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil, Water/Butylene Glycol/Algin/Sodium Citrate/Atelocollagen/Serine, Cetyl/Stearyl Alcohol, Beta-Glucan, Arnica Montana Flower Extract/Gentiana Lutea Root Extract/Achillea Millefolium, Extract/Artemisia Vulgaris Extract, Buddleja Davidii Extract/Thymus Vulgaris (Thyme) Extract/Glycerin/Water, Hyssopus Officinalis Extract, Carbomer, Triethanolamine, Disodium EDTA, BHT.
