PRODUCT REVIEW: Althea’s Bare Essentials
Monday, April 30, 2018
As all of you have heard the latest K-beauty gossip in town,
I am back with a full review of Althea’s Bare Essentials skincare line, as
promised! If you are still clueless about what is this latest buzz about, check
out Bare Essentials here, and also my previous blog post about first impression
of this amazing minimalist skincare range, here.
I have been using Bare Essentials for almost a month now, and
I guess it’s time to reveal the verdict.
I really love the simplicity of the products where skincare
regimen can just be simplified to the three basic steps. These three essential steps are sufficient
for healthy glowing skin. Of course, you can be a little extra with the
addition of serums and essences into your skincare routine.
STEP 1: Contour Cleanser
Althea’s Contour Cleanser has a thick and creamy consistency,
where just a small amount is needed to lather. It contains microbeads which
give a great massage for my face after a tiring day at work.
My Experience
Hence, I usually
use it during my night skincare routine. It left an amazingly refreshing
feeling on my face after washing, which probably comes from the ingredient, Ice
Plant. The other ingredient, Lemon Myrtle has many great benefits for oily
skin. It can reduce clogged pores and balance out the natural oil production.
The micro bubble shots provides gentle exfoliation for my
skin. I’m so glad that the beads are not rough and coarse, which makes it
perfectly suitable for my sensitive skin. About the function of the beads in
giving the desirable V shape face, I would say that do not work for me. Or
maybe the results take longer to show.
Verdict
Overall, this cleanser is totally value for money! A tube of
150g is more than enough for me. It probably can last me for a year because of
its thick consistency. I will probably use this product three times a week or more whenever I need some exfoliation.
Purchase this for a good price of RM23.00 at Althea
STEP 2: Primer Water
This is the most anticipating step of my skincare routine! Not
only because I like the toning process on my face but also this product had
officially become my favorite pick! Primer water has a light texture and
absorbs fairly well into my skin.
My Experience
It does not leave my skin sticky or dry. It
preps my skin for the next step of skincare product application or makeup.
This hydrating toner is a must-have in every skincare routine,
especially if you want to achieve the trending glass skin effect. My face does
have a glowing effect after application. It definitely feels like a serum more
than a toner to me.
Verdict
This magical water has a patented dew drop technology which
improves absorption of the product. Whatever it is, it works wonders on my
skin. I don't mean to be bias, but this is truly my favourite product among the three!
Only at RM43.00 at Althea, you can add a little magic into your
skincare routine.
STEP 3: Fixer Cream
I am going to be honest here; this little jar of moisturizer really
fixed me right up. I have really oily and acne prone skin, and this water-based
moisturizer is made right for my skin type. It has a very soft and lightweight
consistency which is made perfect for fast absorption.
My Experience
I really love the pleasant herbal scent of this cream. It acts
like a skin barrier, locking the moisture within my skin. I would not say the
hydration lasts for 24 hours, but it did a great job in keeping my skin plump
and hydrated most of the time.
Verdict
This moisturizer completed my daily skincare routine. #mylifeiscomplete
Get your hands on this at Althea for RM50.00!
I am really happy with the entire skincare line of Althea’s
Bare Essentials. Its minimalist concept has reminded us how simple skincare
routine can be.
Are you ready to strip down to the bare essentials?
