Looking at how my skin is doing well with the cream I used to use, it seems like this is the culprit. I've been feeling that my skin is increasingly lacking in oil and moisture, especially moisture. ๐Texture and Fragrance It has a slightly yellowish, dense, and semi-transparent gel texture. It's not a watery, loose gel, but a dense, bouncy gel. Among similar products, the Sisley Honey Sleeping Mask has a similar texture, but this one is a bit firmer and more bouncy. The fragrance is almost non-existent, just like the ampoule and toner from the same line. ๐Spreadability Since it's a dense gel texture, the spreadability isn't the best, but it's still better than a cream texture. ๐Moisture and Hydration When first applied, the gel texture doesn't feel very moisturizing or hydrating, but to my surprise, it effectively addressed both my inner and outer dryness. Even though the surface felt a bit sticky, my skin felt comfortable and my cheeks had a bouncy, supple feel. It might be too much for dry skin in winter, but for gradually warming seasons like now, even my dry skin could use it comfortably. ๐Anti-Aging Functionality? Skincare products alone can't produce short-term effects, but after using this, I felt like the fine lines on my forehead smoothed out a bit, though I'm not sure if it's just my imagination. Consistent use might yield better results. ๐Gentleness I haven't experienced any breakouts or clogged pores while using this so far. It's not as soothing as an ampoule, but it seems to be a gentle product. Unless you're sensitive to propolis, this should be suitable for sensitive skin as well. Personally, propolis works great for me, so I used it without any irritation or trouble.
ConsThe one, but critical, downside of this product... ๐Stickiness Compared to the toner and ampoule from the same Purefit line, this sleeping pack has a much stickier texture. The toner absorbs completely without any stickiness, and the ampoule has some stickiness but not an extreme amount. However, the combination of the gel texture, propolis, and honey in this sleeping pack makes it extremely sticky. If you sleep on your side after applying this, you'll wake up with dust and debris all over your face the next morning. Even if you try to let it absorb fully or adjust the amount, the stickiness is still very pronounced. So I just give up and apply a generous amount, then immediately wash my face in the morning because it's covered in dust.
TipSince this product is extremely sticky, you should use lighter products in the previous steps that won't exacerbate the stickiness. Cleanse with a water-based toner, then apply a highly absorbent but low-viscosity serum or essence to address inner dryness. This will help prevent the stickiness from getting even worse when you apply the sleeping pack. Depending on which serum you use, your skin can either end up feeling like a human sticky note or just have a slightly tacky finish. Using the propolis ampoule from the same line is not recommended either.
