I bought this at RM26  with free shipping on Qoo10. It was really a bargain. At first glance, the Vichum line wasn't exactly new in the market. I believe it was launched during ~2013-ish. It wasn't popular or well known like Mizon's Snail line so it was really my first time seeing this product. Vichum, I think is similar to the Chinese term 回春, which literally means "back spring", but normally people interpret it as back to youth! Such apt naming lol. The packaging is absolutely gorgeous. The cream smells absolutely heavenly. And I keep popping open the jar to smell it! Mmmm

The cream is on the thick and buttery side which glides on very smoothly and it doesn't leave me feeling sticky or whatever. I usually will grow some oil seeds after using creams that I hated thick creams but this wasn't the case with Mizon's cream.

I do apologize for the difference in hues. My handphone wasn't really built for this hehe :)

Most importantly, it does what it claims! I find it hard to find cheap and good products to lessen the tired look I always have. Anti-ageing products I've tried are usually thicker in texture and oilier but this one is an exception. I definitely feel that my skin goes plumper and healthier by the day! It really lessens the tired look day by day as I use it religiously every day/night.

Packaging: 4/5 Classy but heavy because of the glass. No spatula included.

Smell: 4.8/5 Very relaxing, very good. But I noticed that the smell kinda deteriorate a little as time passes

Texture: 4/5 I wasn't a fan of rich, buttery creams but this one doesn't leave me feeling suffocated or oily so I'll give a 4 out of 5

Effect: 5/5 A really good anti-ageing cream for people in their 20s. Makes me look younger by a little and charges up my skin real good. Not very moisturising like other moisture-focused products but I always layer my skincare so the oil-moisture level is balanced. On my repurchase list!

Overall: 4.5/5 Recommended for those who wants to start using anti ageing products! Doesn't feel oily, does what it says, smells lovely and doesn't cost a bomb. It just bumped into my exclusive TO BE REPURCHASED list already!
