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.
