Tonymoly Aquaporin Moisture Cream - Review
Posted by Kim
Over time, I've acquired quite some samples through eBay - this being one of them. I've used Tonymoly products before and usually like them, and after doing some searching I found that this cream suitable for combination skin - which is what I've got (though sometimes it's more oily than combination). According to SokoGlam!, the ingredients are:
Water, Dipropylene Glycol, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Cyclopentasiloxane, Hydrogenated Polydecene, Cyclohexasiloxane, Polymethylsilsesquioxane, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Cetearyl Olivate, Sodium Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Phenyl Trimethicone, Sorbitan Olivate, Tromethamine, Isohexadecane, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Phenoxyethanol, Polysorbate 80, Dimethicone, Chlorphenesin, Carbomer, Caprylyl Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin, PEG-2M, Dimethiconol, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Oil, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Glyceryl Polyacrylate, Sucrose Distearate, Fragrance, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Disodium EDTA, Salicornia Herbacea Extract, Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Water, Malachite Extract, Geranium Maculatum Oil, Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil, Xylitylglucoside, Santalum Album (Sandalwood) Oil, Anhydroxylitol, Rose Flower Oil, Pseudoalteromonas Ferment Extract, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Oil, Xylitol, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Spirulina Platensis Extract, Chlorella Vulgaris Extract, Styrax Benzoin Gum, Commiphora Myrrha Oil, Glucose, Glycolic Acid
It's advertised as a light-weight cream for 'a dewy skin look' that is meant to last for 24 hours.
How to use:
Take a small amount of the product and spread out on the eye area, gently patting for absorption.
The first thing I noticed was the scent: very fresh, which somehow got me excited for using it. I felt like the consistency looked quite thick at first, but once I started spreading it across my skin, it was indeed as light-weight as promised. And when they say you only need a small amount, they're not kidding! I ended up rubbing some on my hands as well as on my face so I wouldn't waste the sample. My skin absorbed the product very quickly and the cream didn't leave any stickiness behind or made my face feel oily. Instead, it made my skin feel smooth and refreshed. I can't say I noticed any vibrant skin, though (mentioned on some websites), but I've only used it once, so it would be hard to tell just yet. It's meant to last for up to 24 hours, but although my skin felt soft and refreshed for a few hours, I can't say it was 24 (mind you, it does say 'up to').
Pros:
- Very refreshing!
- Leaves skin smooth and soft
- Not too rich
- Spreads easily
- Not much product is needed, so it would likely last a while
- Not sticky
- Fresh fragrance
Cons:
- It didn't do much for the look of my skin, but perhaps this would change after more frequent use
- Don't expect it to last for 24 hours
Overall: 8/10. I'd need more data to be sure if I like it, but from how refreshing it feels alone, I'm willing to try it out properly one day.
