MISSHA TIME REVOLUTION FIRST TREATMENT ESSENCE REVIEW : THE RESULT SO AFTER 1,5 MONTHS OF USED

Hi, there guys! It's be so veeery... long absent of reviewing and blogging for me. I've been very busy lately. Too many samples to analyze and some long working trips *we're like spents 17-20 hours land transport, including 1-2 hours Ferry transport across mahakam river, yaiiiyyy*

And, now, I'm gonna reveal my 1,5 months trial of Missha Time Revolution Treatment Essence. Yippie ^_^. 

I've purchase this baby from Mirielle Beaute. She gave a low price for all products she sells, and quite fast preorder too *just about couple of weeks*. So, this is the product :

sorry for the dewy picture, I keep it in my fridge ^_^

It comes with glass bottle, which, quite heavy. I've losen my grip and this baby falls to my friend's glass cover desk *ouch!* I'm glad nothings broke and shattered. Huft!

They compare it to SKII First Treatment Essence, it's a dupe

It said that this is a far better dupe of SKII First Treatment Essence but with a better ingredients. Most of all, parabens free, mineral oil free, plus many natural ingredients.  Here's some explanations from their web :

Ingredients List

1) FISSIONETM(Fermented Yeast Extract) 80% to experience new skin everyday Extracted from fission yeast which has similar structure to multiplication of humen cells, FISSIONETM is a fermented ingredient, which has similar componets to NMF(Natural Moisturizing Factor), helping improve foundation of skin like moisturizing,firming and balancing. [Story of Yeast] It is a microorganism used for making bread, beer and wine. Rich in Vitamin B, it is recently used for cosmetics. In 1860, it is firstly discovered in beer by Anton Van Leeuwenhoek, the inventor of microscope and is revealed by Louis Pasteur in 1861 that fermentation of wine is caused by yeast, the study for yeast has made steady progress in various fields. [Story of Fermentation] It is a process that microorganism makes organic matter disintegrate by its own enzyme. Fermentation and decomposition are under the similar process. However, fermentation finally makes a useful material while decomposition makes harmful material with bad smell 2) DN-AidTM to provide vitality to the aging skin The MISSHA’s unique ingredient DN-AidTM is developed in collaboration with SERO BIOLOGIQUES in France, which is well known for developing effective ingredient of cosmetic all around the world. It is made from extract of Cassia-Alata which grows naturally in tropical area. Africa without any damage against UV rays. It protects DNA from aging caused by UV rays and provides vitality to the skin by promoting restoration of damaged DNA.

How To Use

At the first step of skin care after cleansing, take an appropriate amount on cotton puff and apply over the face. Pat lightly to be fully absorbed. TIP 1. Apply in following order ;    Essence --> Eye cream --> Lotion --> Cream TIP 2. You don’t have to apply toner when you apply The First Treatment Essence. However, you can apply it before applying normal toner or after cleansing toner. How to apply properly POINT 1. Basic skin care in 3 seconds just after washing To maximize the absorption of the next skin care products and the effect for controlling rhythm of skin, apply it just after washing the face and before applying toner. * In case of cleansing with toner, apply toner first before applying The First Treatment Essence. POINT 2. Tap with soaked cotton puff. At the first step of skin care, soak the content fully in the cotton puff and tap lightly from the inside to the outside of the face until fully absorbed. POINT 3. Maximize absorbing by massaging. Increase the rate of absorption on skin by covering the face with warm hands. It works better with massaging.

 

These are some of the real pictures :

It has another lid inside the lid *what??*. Yes. 'Cos its watery (liquid) texture so it's easily to leak if you take it to travel with. So, I'm suggesting that you put some of this product into smaller bottle or small spray container, which I did, and it's really safe anyway. 

See that little white lid? Please, don't ever lose it.

The result :

• Compares to SKII FTE : I don't see better result so far (I've been using SKII FTE before)
• not suitable for my oily skin (tends to make it oily), so I think its good for normal-dry skin
• doesn't shrink my pores like SKII did
• doesn't lighten my skin 
• absorbs in 1 minute sharp
• feels sticky on my face for about 15-20 minutes though it already absorbs 

Pros :

• cheaper about 1/3-1/4  than SKII
• Parabens free
• love it's bottle design
• many great ingredients
• naturally friendly too sensitive skin
• does not break me out
• non comedogenic (I don't have comedos guys! yeiyyy!!!)
• make my skin plump
• very moisturized
• last for a looooong time (hey! I just need 3 drops for my whole face and neck)

 Cons : 

• work better for normal-dry skin type
• does not shrunken my pores

Do you like to try it? I recommend it. But, for a wise step, buy a smaller size or sample size. You could purchase from Last Chance Hoon on Gmarket, or from Testerkorea.com for a sachet samples. 

See you next review ^_^. Adios!
