Etude House Aqua Sherbet Aloe Ampoule
I had been wanting to review this for ages, but never really gotten around it. Finally when I wanted to review it, Ning also requested for it. Better do it fast ’cause I don’t know when I’m gonna be lazy and stop writing again!
Long story cut short, this is a product which is meant for dry skin. Aloe vera, as we know, it’s well known for it’s softening and hydrating properties. In the olden days, me mum used to cut aloe veras that she planted at home, and apply it on her skin. It calms her skin and left her skin soft and well hydrated. Well, that’s what she told me anyway. I can’t say it works for everyone because I think most people now don’t it anymore, neither do I!
I don’t have aloe veras now at home, so if I wanna use them, I’ll need to get skincare that contains them!
I bought this last year and have been pretty happy with it ever since.
It comes in a semi transparent glass bottle. One thing I like about this is I can monitor how fast am I finishing it
One thing I don’t like it it’ll break easily if I am not careful! But I guess that’s okay. It has survived for 2 months or more!
It comes in a little pump dispenser like this, I am not sure what type of mechanism this is as my vocabulary/ memory is kinda limited at the moment! But it doesn’t matter right? Got peeeek-ture to show you!
So one drop is all I need for my big face.
It is very watery and spreads really easily. It’s like water but of course not as fluid. It has a very light fragrance which I can’t pinpoint what scent it is, but it’s nothing strong.
It says…
Aqua Sherbet contains mineral rich glacial water from Alaska and the moisturizing of Aloe Vera to supply skin cooling complexion care. Aloe Ampoule revitalizes and protects complexion with an oil free formula.
Sounds good ya?
The SA recommended me to use this like a serum and then top up with another moisturizer to lock the moisture in. I myself feel that it isn’t necessary because this ampoule is lightweight yet it moisturizes pretty well. I hardly need any other moisturizer if I am using this already. Unless I am in a super dry country, that’s another story altogether.
I usually dot this on my forehead, cheeks and chin and then gently pat it into my skin. I noticed that by patting it in, it reduces the stickiness and product gets absorbed into skin a bit more faster than massaging it in. Weird right? But the method works to my liking so I am okay with it.
So it leaves you a gentle glow because your skin is properly hydrated.And I am happy.
My foundation usually goes on better when my skin is properly moisturized and it doesn’t flake as easily. I have combi skin, dry on cheeks oily on T zone. This product doesn’t make me go any oilier and keeps my cheeks fairly well hydrated. It doesn’t clog up my pores either which is great too!
If I am not mistaken, it’s 30ml and retails for RM58.90. Do keep your eyes peeled for promotions and discounts in Etude House! I remember seeing it going for 30% discount!
p/s: I forgot to take note of the ingredient list and the product’s description, will update it later!
