Laneige - Power Essential Skin Refiner Moisture Review

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

I'm back with yet another review for Laneige! This time (as you could probably see from my title) I am reviewing the moisture range! I was diligently awaiting to finish off the last of my light skincare line before properly giving this a good trial! 

I was also talking to my cousin about this product prior to her travels to Australia, and the sales representative recommended the moisture line for the harsher weather we have in Australia. This is a slightly heavier liquid and had a milky texture. Please read more for my pro's & con's...




What I love about this product:
  • Even though this is slightly thicker and a bit oily in texture, it still feels quite light when applied onto the face
  • Doesn't break skin out!
  • No distinctive smell
  • Packaging! I love how much Laneige keeps it simple, yet they change the colour to indicate different ranges
What I dislike about this product:
  • Packaging - It seems to be a continuous love/hate relationship. Definitely NOT travel friendly! Although this is a screw top, it can sometimes be difficult to screw the lid on when you have product in your hand.
  • Value for money - I have used this product for a much shorter time than the light range and have gone through so much product!
  • Texture and result - I don't like the milky texture and I feel like there is no obvious difference to my skin that it is more moisturising than the light range. I feel like I need more product to cover my whole face in order to see the same results
My recommendations:

I think this product may serve a better purpose with someone with normal to dry skin. Although I have combination skin, I do not believe that it has made a huge difference to my skin. 

The milky texture is similar to having the milk bath water in your bathtub. Yes its nice once in a while, but on my face.... well I just don't enjoy it. I feel like this product must take more time in soaking into my skin no matter how I apply it.

Would I repurchase this? Probably not. Unless Laneige decided to go on a evil spree and discontinue the Light range, I would still stock up to the ceiling with the light skin refiner before purchasing this one again. This review sounds super harsh, but its not meant to sound that way. I just prefer the value for money and the Light skin refiners effects on my own skin. 

On another note, it is a great product to try out if you have super dry skin and is gentle enough without breaking you out. The product still allows your skin to breathe.




Until next time,
