Nature Republic: Truffle [EX] Wrinkle Emulsion and Toner

Wrinkle Toner & Emulsion enriched with truffle mushroom 

extracts for wrinkle improvement

Its been a while!

In a previous post I mentioned that I purchased this at the Nature Republic store in Hawaii. Its not that I have wrinkles but I was starting to notice (or think) that my pores were getting a bit droopier. Then again it could have been the hot weather during that time. I also previously reviewed the sleeping mask for this line here.

Long Glass Bottles

One thing I really like about this Nature Republic brand is that the packaging feels and looks really expensive but the cost of the overall product is really really reasonable. One thing I worry about is accidentally smashing these on the floor lol.

The down side

One thing I really don't like about this product is the design of the bottle... Its kind of hard to dispense the product inside, you really have to give it a good shake upside down to make sure all the emulsion comes out. The toner is fine you don't need to shake it to dispense but since the emulsion is thick you have to shake it pretty good lol, I wish there was a pump instead.

I've used the toner and emulsion for a few months now (only for my night skincare routine) and I've noticed how much more toner I've used in comparison to the emulsion so I would say buy two toners and one emulsion if you think you will use up all the product.

Its pretty thick and creamy

(and old lady hands LOL)

The toner is a thicker toner its not super watery and its not as sweet smelling like the emulsion. It doesn't absorb right away but you can feel it absorb into your skin.

The emulsion has a mushroomy scent (duh! it has truffle essence in it) I'm not the best at describing scents... but to me it smells sweet and earthy if that makes sense. To me it feels a little bit oily and thick (a little goes a long way) and I honestly don't need a moisturizer after I use it. If you have oily skin and you're thinking of using it during the day you'll probably have super oily skin lol because it feels quite heavy, I'll lounge around the house during the night and can feel my skin feeling oily.

So! Does it get rid of wrinkles? or minimize the appearance of them?

Honestly the overall feel of my skin has softened and tightened a bit since I've started using this product. As for wrinkles, I don't really have any to begin with except for some laugh lines but I'll probably need something stronger than this to get rid of. My skin is pretty sensitive too and this hasn't broken me out in case you are wondering. So if you are looking for something that will minimize the look of your wrinkles, I don't think this is for you.

Nature Republic: Original Power Whitening & Lineless Ampoule

I finally tried the ampoule I purchased at the Nature Republic Store in Hawaii!

I mentioned this in my Nature Republic Haul post and I have finally got around to using this product. I purchased two different ampoules but I think I'll stick to using them one at a time or should I? urgh.. I don't know... I guess I should to test them out better.

What is an ampoule? according to Merriam-webster: a hermetically sealed small bulbous glass vessel that is used to hold a solution for hypodermic injection and I thought it was just a super concentrated serum lol, I could be wrong and it could have a completely different meaning now.

I think the rubber thing at the top of the bottle makes the package smell weird >.<
It could be mine though.

Purpose: Helps to revive the skins natural health through intensive care of a pearl and caviar ampoule

How to use: After using toner, pump 2-3 drops on your fingertips. Apply to the entire face and gently pat the skin to enhance absorption.

More than enough for my face

What Do I Think Of This Product?

Besides the weird rubber smell emitting from the dropper thing (again it could be mine) the serum inside smells really good. The serum inside is quite thick and 2-3 drops is plenty for my face so the bottle will last a long time.

It also absorbs really well. So far I haven't really seen any results regarding lines but some spots on my face have gotten a bit lighter and I haven't been really using it everyday, like every other day? not for very long either like 5-10 applications but so far so good.

The bottle is nice and sturdy! all glass! I've mentioned before how impressed I am with Nature Republic products (and I guess other Korean brands too lol) Their packaging is always made well and the products are always SO AFFORDABLE!

Korea I wish to visit you again sometime this year or the next ^__^

Where Can You Get This Product?

I got it for super cheap in Hawaii ($10.90) because they had just opened and the store had a whole bunch of promotions because it just opened.

You can get it on Ebay and I thought it would be a little more expensive there but its still super affordable.

I didn't find the whitening & lineless one on amazon but they do have other available.

Sasa finally got some more Nature Republic products, they only had like 3 before >.< but now they have a bit more but they don't have any ampoules available yet.
