Personal Thoughts and 1st impression: Etude House Skin Care Products

Hello fellow beauty junkies today i'll be sharing my thoughts about the products from the popular Korean brand Etude House. Before i start my review I would like to clear that this is my personal thoughts on all products, It may work for me but it may not work for others since we all have different skin types. I will be recommending some products that i find suites me but this will not be an assurance that it will have the same result on others.



1st on my List is Etude House Pure Water BaoBob Moist Toner. I Bought it at 578.00 Php Last December 2015 when they were having a huge sale, this was actually included on there Buy one Get One Promo so basically i only paid 289.00 Php for each 180 ml bottle.


The Packaging as expected looks really cute a smokey glass bottle with light pink floral cap. The product descriptions are written in Korean but on the left side of the box you can see that there is an English text containing the Product descriptions, directions on how to use, cautions , net weight , the products formulation and the Company's Address. 




This Toner is very different from those i came across, 1st it has no Stingy smell the one that would hurt your eyes and nose, 2nd liquid is thicker than the usual toner. 


If your going to use it with cotton i doubt if you can even manage to rub any product on your face since the cotton will just absorbed it and it dries pretty fast. Personally i just use my palms then pat it gently all over my face that way i can be sure i have the product on my face and not waste it :) hehehe. What i like about this Toner is it is very light it does not feel heavy on my face, it dries up fast plus it does not irritate me like other toners do. I've been using this since December 2015 and the few things that i notice is it evens out my skin tone, i use to have patches of different tones all over my face so i need a full coverage foundation to even out everything now it just look so even (love this toner) it also clears and brightens my face.

Next is the Etude House Pure Water Baobob Moist Cream. It has the same packaging material with the Toner a smokey glass canister with floral light pink cap. I also got this last December during Etude house's huge sale under same promotion as the Toner buy one get one free. It's original price is 798.00 Php so I only paid 399.00 for each canister.




 This is just like the Baobob Toner but it is in a Gel type (so i wouldn't say that it's a cream ) also it has  lower water percentage than the toner because it thicker consistency than with the Toner. 


I used this every day, i apply this all over my face after i wash and apply toner. I have a dry skin and this really helps my face get that moisture to keep it hydrated through out the day specially that summer is here i really recommend to use moisturizer when you go out or even if your just staying home it's a big help in keeping your skin looking healthy and glowy. I totally recommend this moisturizer because it's very hydrating and does not feel sticky and yucky on the face plus it's scentless.

Next is the Popular Wonder Pore Freshner. This is very popular here in Iloilo City that it is always out of stock in our local Etude House Store i heard wonders about this product and i really wanted to try it. 


After months of waiting i have finally purchased mine in Althea Korea i actually mention this on my previous blog on my 1st purchased in Althea Korea you can check my blog here for details on the other Korean products that you might want to try. I bought mine for 440.00 php with 18% off original price is 548.00 Php, i wanted to buy the 500ml but i was only able to buy the 250 ml bottle because that was the only one available in Althea.


This Product Claims to have ten benefits and these are Balances Skin's ideal PH Level, Refine Skin Tones, Keep the Elasticity of Pores, Removes skin surfaces dead skin cells, Cleanse pores inside with cooling effect, Deep cleanse pores, Minimize Appearance of pores, Control a large amount of Sebum, Moisturizes the skin, and Gives smooth glass-like finish. Since I only started using this product 2 weeks ago i think it's too early to give my opinion i mean skin cares does not work over night you need a little time to really see the result, but one thing i like about this cleanser is it didn't caused any break outs , another thing that i like is it has no harsh scent like a typical cleanser have so that's another plus for me.

The Next product is my ultimate favorite among all Etude Skin care the Etude House Every Month Cleansing Foam. 

I've been using this for like 2-3 yrs already, i really like this facial foam not only because it smells really good but also it leaves my skin clean but at the same time Smooth and soft. I got this aswell during their December 2015 Huge sale under buy one take one promo, so i got two No. 9 Cleansing foam for 198.00 Php and another two No. 11 cleansing foam for 198.00 Php.  There are also other available scent such as the No.1 Avocado & Butter, No.2 Pomegranate & Berry, No.3 Apple and Tomato, No.4 Lemon and Garlic, No.5 Green Tea, No.6 Tea Tree, No.7 Aloe, No.8 Blueberry, and No. 10 Green Vegetables.

Last week I Purchased few skin care items in their store their Mask sheets, Clay Mask, Baking Soda Facial Foam and a box of cotton pads.


Recently i got really obsessed with Mask Sheets. I bought four Etude House Tea Tree Mask Sheets for 58.00 Php each. They have different kind of sheet masks but i wanted to try this Tea Tree since tea tree is widely known for its ability to treat acne and sores and even insect bites. So i maybe it will help heal my tiny annoying zit.  


This was my 1st time to try Etude House Tea Tree Sheet mask so i really don't know if it is effective or it will give me bad or good result, i'll be posting an update on this soon. 


(hahahah i look sooooo weird!)

Upon putting the sheet mask you can instantly feel this cooling sensation like a menthol that intensifies but not to the point that it becomes stingy. It's actually really comfortable and relaxing on the face i even dozed off for a few minutes while i was wearing this hahaha. It took i think 20 -30 mins. for the mask to completely dry out, i would suggest to lie down when using this because it looses its "stickiness" as it dries off so it can easily fall off from your face if you're sitting or standing up. 

Another Etude product that's new to me is their Play Therapy Soft Clay Mask. I bought it for 448.00 Php it's net weight is 150 ml. 

(sooooo cute)

This Mask Claims to reduce the size of pores, cleans sebum and will leave your skin soft. Just like any other Skincare products you can't really see the difference if you're going to use it once, it need a little more time to really see the result, so i'll be posting an update on this after few weeks of using this. 

(hahhahah another weird photo of me)

The Clay is not blask as i expect it to be, it's actually like a dirty white with a bit of light gray but it dries off into a white powdery texture. It took about 1 min or even less for the cream to dry off and i let it sit on my face for 15 mins. before rinsing it with lukewarm water. Upon rinsing i did notice my face was smooth and soft, but i still can't say the effects on my pores because i just used it once i'll update on this product soon.

Another product i recently bought was this Etude House Baking Powder B.B Deep Cleansing Foam. I bought it for 398.00 Php, it's net weight is 150 ml.


I haven't really tried this one yet because i was still using the other cleansing foam but i bought it because of i know that Baking Powder has a good cleansing characteristics, get rids of acne and other blemishes, and prevent pores from clogging. The product claims to effectively removes BB cream with micro natural beads. Formulated with Baking Powder to penetrate and cleanse deep within pores to remove makeup and residues. Ideal for BB cream removal. I'' be posting an update on this product as well.

I also bought the Etude House My Beauty Tool Cotton Puff, i find it easier to apply the Wonder Pore Freshner plus it doesn't absorb the product like a normal cotton ball does. I bought it for 78.00 Php it has 80 pcs. soft cotton puffs.


Aside from Etude House Cute packaging and adorable whimsical design, their Skin care products are really good since none of it has ever irritated my skin or caused any breakouts. For me the formulation of their Skin care really works well with my skin, it does not only leaves my face soft and smooth but also i noticed it brighten up my skin and kept it well hydrated.  I would Definitely recommend this but would still advise to read the formulation so as to know if there are any ingredients that may cause allergic reaction, or if you're trying out these products for the 1st time i suggest to buy the trial packs or the small sizes instead of the full size products just in case it does not suite your skin, atleast you won't waste your money. :)

Thanks for Reading watch out for my next blog on my Personal Thoughts and 1st impression: Etude House Make up Products, will be posting it next week so stay tuned kamsahamnida!! :)
