Before this, all shipping costs were paid by us. However, after much discussion, in order to be able to give out more samples for our readers, and also to multiply our frequency of our review giveaway ( before this, we only gave out one samples per month because shipping cost was too expensive ) , we made a decision that readers who are interested in this , would have to bear the shipping cost.

Sulwhasoo finally releases concentrated ginseng oil and first body care product October 24, 2011

 

 

After the famous Sulwhasoo Concentrated Ginseng Cream, it took quite some time for them to release the new Sulwhasoo Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Essential Oil 연섬바디에센스. Even the History Of Whoo released their Wild Ginseng Ampoule Oil.

 

Sulwhasoo Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Essential Oil contains authentic ginseng seed oil which delivers nutrient rich extracts from the seeds of ginseng deep into the deepest layers of the skin to revive damaged, depleted skin. Ginseng Seeds can only be collected once a year, and each seeds only contains 0.004ml of Ginseng oil. Will be updated once the official translation comes out.

 

Whoo Wild Ginseng Ampoule’s packaging is so much more beautiful though!

 

 

 

 

The next new product from Sulwhasoo is the Sulwhasoo Essentrue Body Serum 자음생 진본유는 . It is also Sulwhasoo’s first product for the body. The body serum contains natural essential oils to give your body moisture and nutrition. It spreads easily on the skin and absorbs easily into the skin. Since it is oil based, it can also be used as a body massage!

TonyMoly pushes out new Floria Nutra Energy line

 

 

 

Tony Moly will be introducing yet another new Floria line. With the huge success of the original Floria line, Tony Moly introduced the Floria Whitening line and the Floria Pore Tightening line and now to carry on with the success – the Tony Moly Floria Nutra Energy line for the upcoming dry and cold winter season.

The line is a nutrition line which effectively moisturizes the aged skin, provides elasticity, and rich nutrients to the skin. It’s main ingredient here is the 100% organic extra virgin cold pressed Argan Tree oil, an active ingredient. Often called “liquid gold,” argan oil is derived from nuts found within the fruit of argan trees, which grow almost exclusively in a certain region of Morocco. Primarily produced on small, female-run cooperatives, argan oil is high in vitamin E, essential fatty acids and antioxidants, and experts believe it can help with many skin conditions, from dry skin and wrinkles to psoriasis, eczema and acne. These purported restorative and anti-aging benefits have led to a high demand for this difficult-to-produce oil.

Argan Oil is a nut oil similar to coconut oil, olive oil or almond oil: incredibly rich in nutrients, and versatile in usage. However, it differs from these other, more common oils, in that it is very high in vitamin E (twice as much as olive oil!) and contains 80% essential fatty acids, as well as a number of free-radical fighting antioxidants. This pale gold to clear oil is has a light texture, is not greasy and smells faintly nutty. Argan oil can protect your skin better than other oils or serums, and is easier for your skin to absorb, making it a far better choice than other oils on the market.

It also contains the patented ‘Phyto-Oligo’ which provides exceptional moisture to the skin – right up till 12 hours! It doesn’t stop there – the line also includes Callus extract – the infamous Apple Stem Cell extract which is featured in UNT Prodigy line and also Lancome Absolue Precious Cells. Also included are Cactus extracts, which are known for it’s super hydration properties and it’s ability to retain moisture.

 

 

Prepared for more? Calendula, Rose hip oil, and evening primrose oil strengthens the skin’s natural protective later, while helps in soothing the skin. The line will feature 6 products :

 

 

1.  Tony Moly Floria Nutra Energy Toner 플로리아 뉴트라-에너지 스킨

Rich in Vitamin A,C,E & F to provide your skin with nutrients which are encapsulated to enhance it’s efficiency.

 

 

2. Tony Moly Floria Nutra Energy Emulsion 플로리아 뉴트라-에너지 로션

pacific pharma contains anti acne moisturizer October 22, 2011

 

 

Amore Pacific’s cosmoceutical brand, Pacific Pharma, will be introducing another new product called the Pacific Pharma TherACNE Soothing Moisturizer 테라크네 수딩 모이스처라이저 ( we also reported about their other product : here )

 

Pacific Pharma signed a research collaboration with BioChemis, a company “enhancing drug delivery through biophysical modulation. BioChemics is a pharmaceutical company that has developed a novel, transdermal drug delivery system for the first time that may allow almost any drug to be efficiently delivered through the skin. The transdermal technology, called VALE® (Vaso-active Lipid Encapsulated), may allow a substantial portion of the pharmacopeia to be re-engineered, turning oral drugs into transdermals that are safer (no gastro-intestinal problems), cheaper and potentially faster acting (applied directly to the treated area) than oral equivalents.

 

The new Pacific Pharma TherACNE Soothing Moisturizer is a moisturizer for oily and trouble skin. It helps balances the skin’s moisture without any stickiness. Contaning more than 70% of beneficial ingredients for acne, the moisturizer includes ingredients such as liquorice, rhubarb, astragalus, etc to soothe the skin effectively while protecting and moisturizing it. It also contains 1000IU of Retinol which is known to fight acne.
