Hyggee All-in-One Essence 110ml (Korean beauty)
We see more and more essences appearing in Western beauty brands' arsenals, but this is inherently a Korean Beauty "thing". Essence is a highly concentrated liquid that you put after a toner and before serums. This product is of watery white consistency. It claims to have the following attributes: 1. Powerful moisturizing 2. Brightening and Wrinkle care 3. Exfoliating care 4. Nourishing and moisturizing Yes, it ain't cheap (around $40), but essences are an important part of the skincare routine, which you should not miss. With 110ml of the product, the bottle will last you for a while, as you don't need much.
Hyggee Tightening& Firming Mask (All in One) (Korean beauty)
This full face and neck sheet mask retails only for $5. That's cheap. This is a moist tencel sheet mask which is attached to the ears on 4 sides. We found it to be slightly thicker than a normal sheet mask. We left it on for 30min. It promises to basically do everything: Tightening and Firming / Brightening / Wrinkle Care / Moisturizing / Skin Smoothing We personally think that it is a good moisturising mask (it is super wet). It's tightening properties have not been visible to us this time around. We personally get that type of an effect with a hydrogel type mask, but not here. But even if it is just a good moisturising mask, we are not mad. For $5, full face and neck is really a good deal.
Product review:
Hyggee Fresh One Step Essence (110ml for $40) (Korean)
Oh boy, if you ever want to get an essence, buy from Hyggee. Their essences are absolutely first class. If you have been with us a bit longer, you might remember that we have uploaded a raving review about this essence's All-in-one sister. My skin is becoming less dry now, due to the spring. This particular essence is absolutely fantastic for that. It is designed more for normal to combination skins. This is what the Korean brand has to say about it: "This lightweight, watery-gel is infused with specialist ingredients and hydrating agents to promote a better oil-water balance within the skin to help minimise excessive sebum production and create a less unpredictable complexion. Key ingredient Birch Sap Juice provides greaseless hydration plus it’s rich in Amino Acids and Minerals that help to improve skin’s overall condition. Used day and night, it leaves skin feeling nourished, balanced and properly hydrated". Indeed, it is more of a gel-cream, but it feels super lovely and hydrating on the skin. The All-in-One sister essence was more creamy. It's a truly beautiful product. I highly recommend either one of those essences.
