This has to be one of (if not THE) bestselling and well known
products from Nature Republic. I think the first Korean facial foam I bought
was from Nature Republic. My mom got this from Korea during her work trip in
late March.

I have to admit, I did not like the gel at first when I
tried it at the physical store here in Malaysia a longggggg time ago. It just
didn't moisturise as well as it claimed to be. It claims to be an 8-in-1
product, which can be used as makeup base, moisturiser, hair gel, etc.
The product comes in NR's signature green tub with a plastic
lid, which had spawned a few lookalikes among several Korean beauty brands. No
spatula was included. The clear gel is
heavily fragranced, and I personally think they should either A) tone it down;
B) remove it; C) change into something more relaxing, heh!
It does have alcohol listed as the second ingredient for the
gel. That is also the main reason it disappears very quickly after you rub it
on your skin. It make the gel seem to absorb really quickly into the skin, but
nahh.
I mostly use this as a layering face moisturiser/mask pack
and body gel. Because it comes in a huge tub like this, I slather on a lot
heheheh. I cannot use this alone as my moisturiser, I have to pair it with
another moisturiser or it wouldn't be enough for me.
1. Use this as the last step of your skincare
2. Use this before your moisturiser.
I tend to change the sequence according to my mood. It
functions well as a supplement/booster to your usual moisturiser because you
don't have to be stingy while using this!
So far I'm really liking this because it is really a no-frills product. It comes in a huge size and helps to keep my skin moisturised and cool.
Packaging: 4/5 Simple, straight-forward.
Smell:2/5 Too strong for me.
Texture: 4/5 It doesn't feel sticky at all.
Moisturising power: 3/5 Mediocre. But it excels in
versatility and price. You just don't feel sakit hati even when you use this a
lot!
Overall: 3.5/5 A great value for money product. It can be
paired with a lot of skincare or base makeup, so use your creativity! :D
