One of my favorite Korean beauty brands—and I don’t have a lot—is Nacific. Their Fresh Cica Cream is a less expensive version of Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré moisturizer. It’s moisturizing but not oily and can even be used as a makeup primer. I use it at night on the dry spots on my face like the forehead and cheeks, and what happened was it seemed to fade some of my hyperpigmentation.
Nacific’s new skin-care line is called Origin Red Salicylic Acid, which includes a trio of products—toner, spot cream, wash-off serum—each containing Derma-Clera, a patented soothing ingredient derived from Cynanchum atratum extract which helps soothe sensitive skin. The Nacific Origin Red Line makes use of AHA, BHA and other naturally derived ingredients that are safe to use on acne-prone and sensitive skin.
The powerhouse ingredients—AHA and BHA—help exfoliate at different levels for skin that’s more radiant. Alpha hydroxy acid, or AHA, helps exfoliates dead skin cells while BHA is a potent ingredient that works to get rid of acne, blackheads and whiteheads.
The Nacific Origin Red Salicylic Acid is now available at the brand’s store on Shopee Mall.
Meanwhile, I’ve always been asked what my favorite eye cream is and I have a lot. For a first-time eye cream user, I always recommend the Origins Ginzing Eye Cream. I’m not a skin-care snob but I believe eye cream is something you don’t scrimp on.
The Origins Ginzing eye cream, which has has been reformulated, is now known as “Vitamin C & Niacinamide Eye Cream To Brighten And Depuff.” As suggested by the name, the reformulated eye cream contains vitamin C, niacinamide, ginseng and caffeine from coffee beans.
The Origins Ginzing Vitamin C & Niacinamide Eye Cream To Brighten And Depuff, as its long name suggests, depuffs, brightens and hydrates.
Even in its old formulation, the Ginzing eye cream was still pretty good.
Origins did a testing of its reformulated eye cream on 110 women for four weeks. About 93 percent of the women said their eyes looked brighter, more radiant and refreshed after four weeks.
Origins also did clinical testing on 110 women for a prolonged period and 86 percent of them said they had visibly reduced dark circles.
The Origins Ginzing Vitamin C & Niacinamide Eye Cream To Brighten And Depuff comes in two brightening tones: Original is ideal for fair-to-medium skin tones and cooler undertones while warm is for medium-to-deep skin tones and those with warmer undertones.
The jar and cap of the eye cream are made with 97 percent post-recycled consumer content. It had been tested on all skin tones and is also ophthalmologist-tested (appropriate for contact lens wearers).
Here’s what it doesn’t contain: parabens, phthalates, propylene glycol, formaldehyde, sodium lauryl sulfate, mineral oil, petrolatum, paraffin, diethanolamine and polyethylene beads.
