My opinion:
It lasts for a quite a while and I when I use it all I will buy it again or something similar. It gives great results, face feels clean and soft, pores are a bit smaller but better result is when you aftrwards use Miracle Skin Pore Tightening Pack also from Tosowoong.

[TOSOWOONG] Time Shift

Recently I have discovered brand Tosowoong and I really like it. The only problem is that I can't find anything about it on english and even on their products there are little descriptions on english and everything on korean. They give you little booklet everytime you buy something from them and from there you can see that this brand isn't new. They have started in 2004 and they are saying that their goal is to produce reliable cosmetics. I have bought quite a lot of cosmetics from Tosowoong so I will be reviewing it.
First I will review collection Time Shift.
There is Time Shift Essence, Toner, Serum, Emulsion, Cream. I have bought Essence, Toner and Emulsion.

Description:

This is fermented cosmetics line and is made from fermented substances, such as black enzyme, Galactomyces and Bifid.

Time Shift First Essence/150ml




Whitening and Wrinkle-Care Dual functionality product.
More than 80 % of black yeast fermetation liquid contained. Black yeast contains lots of beta-glucans. Beta-glucans help skin rejuvenation activation, relieve stressed skin, remove skin waste and make it clean and clear.
Natural fermetation cosmetics to make smooth skin.
Contains a lot of vitamin C, niacinamide for brighter skin tone, adenosine for wrinkle care,natural Berrial complex.
No artificial pigments and fragrance, mineral oil, paraben, GMO, BSE, Benzophenone-3,4.

For people who need focused trouble care, balance skin tone and keep elasticity, remove all kind of skin trouble.
For sensitive troubled skin who can't use regular cosmetics, bad skin which doesn't take make up very well.

How to use it?

Use right after cleansing your face, put adequate amount of liquid/Essence on cotton pad and rub your face gently from inside to outside.

My opinion

Well, the scent is nice, I have been using it twice a day for a month together with Toner and Emulsion(only in the evenings) and I can say my face seems to be brighter, cleaner, less oily and pores are a little bit smaller, but with all that I have started to wash my face in the evenings with Tosowoong 4D rotary pore brush. Usually when a demon comes to my face(I mean that damn pimples) I have used Benzoyl Peroxide 10% to dry it out and that was so vigorous I have damaged my skin. For a month now I never had to use it. I can't say that I haven't had break outs, I have, but that is nothing comparing it to pimples I had before and the damage they have caused.
So would I buy it again, for now, YES, I would.

Time Shift Skin Toner/120ml


  

Description:
It contains natural vegetable oils: orange oil, lavender oil, white sandalwood oil, camomile flower oil.
It keeps the skin healthy and elastic containing natural black yeast ferment filtrate, galactomyces and snail mucin filtrate.
Recommended for skin with greasy sebum, skin that doesn't take make-up well, dry skin, everyone who needs skin improvement.

How to use it?
Well, I haven't found exactly description  on how to use it, so I pump it once on my fingers and tap all over my face after Timeshift First Essence.

My opinion
I like it very much and I would buy it again.

 

Time Shift Emulsion/120ml



Description:
It contains natural vegetable oils: orange, lavender camomile and rose oil.
It contains also natural black yeast ferment filtrate, galactomyces and snail mucin filtrate.
This emulsion should give your skin balance and moisture.

How to use it?
Again I'm confused with so much products on my face, so I use it in the evening after cleansing, Essence and Toner. The line also has Serum and Cream which I haven't tried yet.

My opinion
My face gets greasy after half an hour and that is why I'm using it during the night. Does it work, maybe, I really don't know. With so much products on my face, I could say, they all together give satisfying results.
Would I buy it again, I don't know, because I haven't found answer to my questions: What do Serum and Cream do? Are they better for someone with oily face? And do I have to use it all together? All this is a little bit too much for my opinion.

[The Face Shop] FACE IT Aura Color Control Cream[CC cream] #2 Natural Beige


This CC cream was also something that I thought it could be good. It comes in two shades, Light Beige and Natural beige.The barely-there makeup base creams come into two types of unit. The Aura Color Control and Smart Capsule CC. These two mainly work for natural looking skin tones but are slightly different. I have The Aura CC Natural Beige. Well, I have to say at the beginnig, I am not very plesed with it. It says it is for normal skin and I have oily skin. You can guess, not good at all.

Description:

Here's what is hot in the beauty world's trends:"Stay natural" and this perfectly matches THE FACE SHOP's branding concept. The innovative Color Control Cream has skin-perfecting functions of both skincare and makeup in just one compact case. Serving two functions at once, the CC cream, to your surprise, carries moisturizing substances that are found in normal skincare products like toner or emulsion. Moreover, the makeup benefits you are to experience from this CC cream are astonishing.















Liquid makeup base oozing out of the surface when pressed is notable with its innovative container. Not only looking pretty outside, the high-technology used inside is just suitable for today's generation. Skin illumination and transparency are well shown with Face It Aura CC Cream. The Amati ST Particle, also known as skin illumination wattage, helps brighten up skin tone as if a spotlight is switched on under the surface. At the same time, the skin stays moisturized and glowing all day long. In addition to make readers more excited, it is darkening proof.

This CC cream have anti-aging, brightening, and UV protections as base in general, fairly basic functions for makeup products by THE FACE SHOP.

Brightening + Anti-wrinkle + SPF 30, PA++ effect
Creates a "Spotlight Makeup" : turns up the wattage of your skin tone with enhanced skin luminosity
"A Born-color Cream" : just like you were born with a brighter ,healthier & naturally luminescent skin!
12H Long-wearing : with its innovative darkening-proof formula, the makeup is maintained morning-fresh & bright for 12 hours.
12H Hydrating: promotes Clear & lively skin tone
Super blendable & layerable texture allows buildable coverage & easy touch ups on-the-go.

What I like:
It doesn't give me breakups, it is light.

What I don't like:
My face is too shiny and I think too bright, oil control.

Would I buy it again?
No.

[Etude House] CC Cream (Correct&Care) SPF30/PA++ #1 Silky

I wanted to try  this CC cream out because they say it is even better than BB cream. So wrong, I was really disappointed with this Etude House CC Cream #Silky. It comes in two texture types: #Silky and #Glow. #Silky should be for oily skin but obviously not for my oily skin. They claim the CC cream should adapt to your natural skin tone and that isn't true. I'm not pale but have beige european skin tone and after this CC cream I look like a ghost.

Description:
For clean but natural face, Etude House CC cream with 2 texture types!
Recommend #1 Silky for oily skin, and #2 glow for normal to dry skin.
This multitasking, 8-in-1 formula hydrates, primes, conceals, treats, and protects skin at an easy single step for a healthier complexion, inside and outside . It glides on with a silky smooth finish. After using skin toner(freshner) on moisturizer stage, apply proper amount of this cream (about 1 pumping amount) evenly on your face from wide area to narrow area. For natual coverage, use this CC cream only. For more perfect coverage apply little amount of BB cream after CC cream.











It looks good on my hand, but on my face it is too pale and I have to fix the color. It would be good if only the color is the problem, it gets into my pores, so I have to use a pore minimizer.

What I like:
I didn't get any pimples.

What I don't like:
Oil control, it gets into pores, color adaptation.

Would I buy it again?
No.

[Mizon] PORE CONTROL

This is the first Mizon line that I have bought. I have decided to do that because it gives promises to clean pores and makes them smaller. Yes, pores, my biggest problem, I know, it is too good to be true, but I want to believe again and again. I can't help myself, I want skin without pores and I will try everything even I know that isn't possible.
This products make [Mizon] Pore Control line:

[Mizon] PORE REFINE DEEP CLEANSING FOAM
[Mizon] PORE CONTROL PEELING TONER
[Mizon] PORE REFINE SILKY ESSENCE
[Mizon] PORE TIGHTENING LOTION

What I like:
I like the most the Cleansing Foam because it really gives that clean feeling after washing my face. I like the Toner because it doesn't live greasy feeling like other toners but the amount of 80ml is too little. The essence is nice and it really makes my pores a little bit smaller and afterwards BB or CC cream blends easier and doesn't get into pores. The Toner, I don't know the use of it, if I use it after essence, my skin is too greasy so I use it in the evening and alone, it leaves nice light moist feeling on my face.

What I don't like:
Well, I don't see that my pores are smaller if I don't use the products all together, but I think that pores on my nose are cleaner. The line should make face complex better and if pores are under control, you shouldn't have to have excessive oil, but I unfortunately have.

Would I buy it again?
The Cleansing Foam yes, the Peeling Toner and Essence maybe.
