Danahan EcoPure Moisture Fore Emulsion [ Part 2 ] Review

WHAT IS IT: Danahan EcoPure Moisture Fore Emulsion


THE PRODUCT(S):

Danahan EcoPure Moisture Fore Emulsion: Contains Ecocert-certified pine water and organic ingredients that absorb easily, soothe, hydrate and regenerate the skin instantly. Reduce dark spots and discoloration, while providing nourishment to your skin and help reduce fine lines. Nourishes, strengthens and stimulates cell renewal, leaving skin smoother and more radiant.



This product is actually cream-based, which I personally felt might be a little rich for my oily skin. However, it doesn't make my pores feel clogged and it gets absorbed rather decently too.


VERDICT: The scent is actually typical of moisturizers, maybe so that consumers won't mixed up the product by accident if the packaging is in another language, I guess? But still, the scent doesn't linger on unnecessarily, despite hours after application. Although the emulsion itself is creamy-based, which I personally felt could be a little too rich for my oily skin. Serums and gel-based moisturizers tend to be more suitable for oily skin, as it gets absorbed easily.


The texture and consistency is cream-based as mentioned, however, it doesn't take too long for the product to be absorbed into my skin. And even hours after application, my face doesn't look like I just waded in a sea of sebum. Most times, just less than an hour, my face looks as if it's deprived of moisture of any kind, just by judging on how oily my skin is. But this emulsion doesn't do that, and yet at the same time, I don't really see any difference to my skin throughout the one week I was using it. Although I had to be thankful I didn't really get any acne or pimple breakouts during that one week either.


My only gripe is that the emulsion seemed somewhat stubborn and despite repeated shaking à la ketchup or chilli sauce in bottles, the emulsion somehow refused to budge an inch. I finally had to get my hands on the emulsion by stabbing a cotton swab inside it, after removing another interior cover that should squeeze or ooze out the emulsion in decent amount. Which kinda makes me think this emulsion would be best if it's contained in a pot instead for easy access.


And when it's time to wake up in the morning, despite my face looking only a little wee bit oily, I am still glad I didn't wake up to a face full of sebum glory. And at the same time, no visible skin allergy of any type nor any acne or pimple actually showed up too. So, I guess this emulsion works pretty well as a moisturizer of some sort. However, my skin doesn't feel moisturized nonetheless.


So, I figured this is the same as the EcoPure Moisture Fore Essential Toner where it is best used if the climate is slightly more humid, when our skin is in actual need of organic skin products that helps moisturized and keep acne and pimples at bay.


VERDICT: ✓✓


WHAT I THINK: Normally, my face tends to have breakouts after using products that claimed to have organic ingredients. But not this, however, I do wish this product could have performed even better than expected.

Danahan EcoPure Moisture Fore Essential Toner [ Part 1 ] Review

WHAT IS IT: EcoPure Moisture Fore Essential Toner


THE PRODUCT(S):

EcoPure Moisture Fore Essential Toner: Danahan Ecopure line is a nature friendly skin care brand. Organic ingredients such as pine needles, lavender, aloe provide for your skin nutrition and moisture. No paraben, no alcohol, no artificial pigment, no benzophenone, no mineral oil !! Shake the bottle before using Danahan Ecopure Moisture Essential Toner to mix pine needle water with organic anato oil.



Initially, I thought there was a layer of some sort of oil in the toner, due to the oily yellowish layer in it. Turns out, that layer of so-called oil is actually organic anato oil and not some weird oil at all. The scent is actually pleasant and it doesn't linger on necessarily after applying on your face.


VERDICT: The scent, yes, the scent! Despite that layer of filmy oil-like substance, the scent is actually really pleasant, with a little hint of sweetness in it. Despite the packaging instructions stating that it's pine needle water and organic anato oil, it doesn't smell anything wood or forest or even jungle related. It's just a sweet and pleasant scent that actually doesn't bother on being cloying at all. And the scent doesn't linger on unnecessarily after application on the face too.


Once the bottle has been mixed/shaked thoroughly, the organic anato oil is mixed thoroughly with the pine needle water. Which temporarily makes it look like almost any clear toner that you can see on the market. In fact, there are certain types of organic oil that actually does wonder on our skin too. Although I'd personally best recommend applying organic oil on your face at least 30 minutes before bedtime, as our skin absorbs products better at night. And since moisture escapes our skin at night, then it is definitely important to apply moisturizers or organic oil at night, don't you think so?


Although this product might somehow seems to be not working for me at all, granted that I am lucky not to have any breakouts from when I started using this up till a week later. The toner actually doesn't feel like it's supposed to be minimizing my pores at all, it's feels almost as if I am just using plain water on a cotton pad to swipe all over my face just to refreshed my skin only. But the good part is that my face didn't actually feel oily nor clogged even hours after the toner has long absorbed into my skin.


And when I woke up in the morning, I am also glad that my face didn't actually look like a greasy/oily sebum minefield which mostly happens on a regular basis. Despite the product claiming to have organic ingredients such as pine needles, lavender, aloe to keep the skin moisturized and gives nutrition to the skin, I don't really recalled seeing any benefits to using this toner at all. My face still looked pretty much the same after a good one week, not looking any refreshed. But not getting any acne or pimple issues either, which I am still glad for.


This product is probably best used in a somewhat much more warmer climate where my skin would definitely be able to take better advantage of what this product could have done. But other than that, I really don't see any improvement of any sort for my skin, except for less acne and pimple outbreak though.
