SeboCalm Active Treatment Moisturizer & Facial Cleanser for Sensitive Skin - First Impressions

SeboCalm is an Israeli based company that was founded by pharmacists in the early 90's. The company focuses on solutions for people with sensitive skin, as beauty products with healing properties are a necessity, more than a luxury for many. 

Their products proved to be very effective among those who suffer from seborrhea and dandruff among the general population. Besides products for sensitive skin they launched other lines such as Calm Innovation for anti-aging, Calm Young for treating acne and Calm Triple that combines moisturizer, sun block and light make-up.

I've been dealing with some redness and other skin sensitivities. I've been breaking out more often than usual and my skin has been "acting out" and irritated easily. So it was the perfect opprtunity to change up a few skin products to test their affect on my skin. 

I'm going to break this post into 2 parts: the first is the first impressions after a few days of use, and the second will be a full review after a month of use. 

SeboCalm Active Treatment Moisturizer - what the product promises?

If your skin is sensitive\red\irritated or if you suffer from seborrhea this treatement is for you. 

SeboCalm Active soothes and treats red and irritated skin. Its' new formula is non-oily with a delicate texture that is soft to the touch. It is easily absorbed, preventing greasiness and shine. SeboCalm Active sooths red, irritated skin prone to flakiness. The cream comes in a convenient vacuum container for maximum hygiene. SeboCalm Active contains natural ingredients that absorb excess sebum and prevent pores from expanding.

Enriched in Aloe Barbadensis to soothe the skin and maintain its natural moisture

Delicate, allergen-free, fragrance

Paraben-free

Suitable for all skin types and all ages

Enriched in Vitamin E to protect the skin from free radicals

Eco – environmentally friendly (without chemical preservatives and easily recyclable)

Hypoallergenic and dermatologically tested for sensitive skin

I've been using it for a week now and I love it. I love how light it is and how it absorbs quickly and the skin is not greasy and it doesn't clog my pores. Also, I do see an approvement in the areas of the face where I suffer from redness, like the nose area. I do like how it preps the skin before foundation. 

It is still moisturzing enought on its own and the packaging is very convinient. 

Facial Cleanser for Sensitive Skin- what the product promises?

Gentle facial cleanser, suitable for sensitive, irritated skin and redness. Based upon an innovative formula containing sulfate-free ingredients (SLS free), manufactured from cornmeal and coconut known for their beneficial qualities. Contains environmentally friendly ingredients allowing daily use, without causing a feeling of dryness or irritation. 

The cleanser effectively removes makeup, dirt and oily shine, leaving skin soft, clean and refreshed. Enriched with seaweed to soften skin and maintain skin elasticity, and concentrated chamomile flower essence to soothe skin. 

Suitable for all skin types. 

Dermatologically tested for sensitive skin

This has become one of my favorite cleansers for when you want to just remove all makeup and gunk and go to sleep witout worrying about extra steps like makeup remover and toner etc :)

 I really like how it removes most of your makeup without irritating the eyes or the skin, It is very gentle and smells wonderfall. 

I will continue using this products to see how they help with the breaking out issue, and if the redness doesn't return and really put it out for a test. In a month I will write a more detailed review.

Innisfree - Green Tea Seed Serum - Review

Innisfree is another Korean beauty brand that I'm beginning to get familiar with. at the end of 2015 a lot of k-beauty bloggers began posting their favorites for the year and this buddy right here was a star in almost every post I read. So obviously I couldn't pass the chance to get my hands on it to try it myself and see what's all the hype about.

The Green Tea Seed is a full range of products from Innisfree. Besides this serum you can find also: Face cream, Face Oil, Eye Cream, Deep Cream.

What the product promises:
A moisturizing serum with organic Jeju green tea and green tea seeds that hydrate your skin from deep within! 

1. More moisture and freshness with 100% green tea. Rich in amino acids and minerals, green tea from Jeju's own green tea leaves hydrates your skin. 
2. Dual Moisture-Rising Technology™ derived from green tea and green tea seed oil. The fresh green tea deeply hydrates your skin and the green tea seed oil creates a strong moisture barrier to keep your skin moisturized longer. 
3. The first thing to apply after a face wash! As the first skincare product you use, it helps hold moisture in your skin and prevents moisture loss. 

Directions of use:

Pump a dollop of the serum on your hand and apply it on your face and neck.

Jejudo Island is located in the southwest of the Korean peninsula. Volcanic activity has rendered the soil of this island very fertile, and it is suitable for the cultivation of Green Tea. Jeju Green Tea is well known for its pristine quality and rejuvenating property.

Green Tea contains Collagen, which is the reason for the elasticity of our skin. With the help of Jeju Green Tea we can achieve a glowing skin. Also, it is used regularly in an anti-aging creams for reducing fine lines, brightening dark circles around the eyes, firming the skin, and in prevention and treatment of acne.

The Serum should be the first step after cleansing your skin. The first time I used it I immediately loved the scent. It has a subtle chamomile, green scent that reminds me of a relaxing spa. I absolutely love putting this on in the morning it instantly makes me feel more awake and stress free. It has this nice cooling effect on the skin when you use it.

The texture is quite liquidy it applies and absorbs to the skin effortlessly. I like patting the product into the skin instead of just rubbing it around. I find this method more effective in locking the moisture in.

The skin feels more soft and glowing without looking shiny or greasy. It moisturizes the skin just enough as preparation for your moisturizer. You can use it daily, morning and night and it's suitable for all skin types, but especially oily skin. It doesn't clog the pores and doesn't break you out. It's not over moisturizing and is super light on your skin and doesn't feel heavy at all.

It's a very affordable product and it's no surprise that it's a best seller in Korea. It justifies the name it gained completely. I will continue combining this product in my routine and I can see it already as a staple product.
