I’ve professed my love for Cosrx's Hydrium Line a number of times now but I still don’t think I can stress it enough. The brand really did a great job on this one because all of them work so wonderfully, and I can definitely vouch for these products to anyone no matter the skin type. Two products will be reviewed in this post (cause I'm too lazy to do a shoot for the products separately) but you already know the verdict on these... ;)
COSRX Centella Aqua Soothing Ampoule
About the product:
Description: Formulated with 42 percent Centella Asiatica extract and madecassoside compounds; provides ample moisture to effectively calm sensitive skin; boosts moisture and alleviates inflammation with vitamin B5; lightweight texture is quickly absorbed by skin*
Fragrance: None
How to use: Apply two or three drops onto face, avoiding the eye and mouth area. Evenly spread and massage it for maximum absorption.*
My experience:
Centella Asiatica skincare products have grown popular over the years because it's known to be effective in treating inflammation and acne. This new Cica (or Centella Asiatica) ampoule from Cosrx was specifically tailored for people who have acne-prone, sensitive and irritated skin, helping provide instant soothing and cooling effects & lasting hydration. This has a thin and watery consistency, making it easy to spread on the face.
Whenever I have troubled and irritated skin, I run to my Cica (or Centella Asiatica) products. I have inflamed areas (sides of my nose) & eczema spots on my face & the rest of my body. There are days when I don't have a problem with them but when they're particularly stubborn, I go to my Cica products for comfort. I was actually saving this up because I still had 1-2 Cica products open but after applying all of them on my face & still reeling with an inflamed face, I had to bust my Cosrx open and then... I heard angels sing. LOL. But it honestly felt like it! After a few seconds of application, the inflamed areas on my face calmed down.
Lately my inflamed areas have been reacting horribly on products I apply (even to my mild toner!!) that this is the only product it can tolerate. In a matter of days, I've already noticed how it has helped lighten the redness in these areas!
I also apply this on my eczema spots on the rest of my body because it's been so effective in helping curb with the itchiness and we all know how eczema gets worse when you start scratching it. This is such a good product to keep in your collection for your skin's rainy days when it needs instant saving and relief. This has also marked its place in my list of Holy Grail products because it's just that good.
COSRX Moisture Power Enriched Cream
About the product:
Description: A moisture-rich formula that provides deep hydration for smooth and supple skin with a velvety finish**
Fragrance: None
How to use: Use as the last step in your routine.
My experience:
Having dry to combination skin really has made me quite picky on the moisturizers I like. I rely heavily on good moisturizers and sleeping masks lest I want to wake up with a flakey face.
Two weeks ago when my room was being made, I had to reduce the products I use both for my morning and evening routines because most of my stuff was placed in boxes. I had to stick to the basic routine at night: cleanse, tone, serum, moisturizer.
This minimal routine just proved to me how good of a moisturizer this was. I didn't use any sleeping mask but this moisturizer alone sufficed. I woke up to such soft skin that feels super-hydrated, as if I drank gallons of water the previous day. It's quite thick at first, feels velvety upon application but sinks in so easily and beautifully, without jerking my skin or making it look oily. The rich cream is packed with all the good stuff—B5 (panthenol), propolis (also one of my favorite skincare ingredients), and ceramide forms that help replenish moisture to the skin. It is honestly the best moisturizer I have ever tried & I'm so happy I won in the brand's Instagram giveaway that I got to try the whole line.
Pairing this with the other Hydrium line ampoules (may it be the Hyaluronic or Centella one) is a sure winner. I've been having my best state of skin ever since I've switched to mostly Cosrx Hydrium products. The line is a total game-changer & I feel like I'll just keep going back to these products in the future. I really can't recommend the whole line enough to anyone. It's not just for people with dry or acne-prone skin but the whole line is just so good that I know it will wow anyone who uses them.
