I love
getting samples of skin care because products like moisturizer and eye cream
can be so expensive. There was a lot of hype about this product when it first launched as Sephora. I received a deluxe size sample with a purchase from
Sephora.com that is 0.34 oz (a $7.69 value). At Sephora the full-size of this
moisturizer is $38 for 1.68 oz. This is a review of a product that is newer to
the States—belif The True Cream – Aqua Bomb. belif is a South Korean brand that
fuses traditional and modern methods to create their skin care products. It is an aqua color (hence the name, I assume) that I couldn’t get to photograph right. It’s pretty, but weird to put a blue moisturizer
on your face. From what I found, belif is not a cruelty-free brand.
The Claims:
This
product is paraben, sulfate and phthalate free. It claims to hydrate the skin,
reduce the appearance of pores, increase skin elasticity and fight off free
radicals. It is suitable for all skin types.
My Impressions:
The Aqua
Bomb has a light lemongrassy/medicinal scent. The consistency of this
moisturizer is gel-like, definitely thicker than a normal moisturizer so I used
this at night only. A little tended to
go a long way. There were a few things I did not like about this product. I did
not feel that it absorb well into my skin—hence why I used it at night only. It
left my skin slightly sticky well past the time a moisturizer would normally
absorb into my skin. When I wash it off in the morning I can feel the product coming
off my skin—like it was a mask that you wash off after 20 minutes as opposed to
a moisturizer. So, I’m not sure how this would work for oily skin since my dry
skin didn’t even want to absorb it. Overall, I was not impressed with the
product and I wouldn’t purchase it or choose it as a sample again. It has a 4.5
star rating on Sephora.com so it’s obviously popular with a lot of people, but
this product is just not for me.
