[NATURE REPUBLIC] Hawaiian FRESH *Acne Cleanser & Clay Pack*

Until today I didn't find the perfect product for oily skin, enlarged pores or breakouts. Therefore I constantly try out new products and seldom repurchase an previous used one. A few months ago I found the new skincare line from [NATURE REPUBLIC] called Hawaiian FRESH. This line consists of different products like cleansers, toners, body scubs and face masks.
I got the Hawaiian FRESH Acne Cleanser and the Hawaiian FRESH Clay Pack which are recommended for acne/troubled skin. I would also like to try the Mango Pack, though.
 
Description: Hibiscus flower and Noni Extract offer vitality to skin to create healthy skin.

Acne Cleanser:

Description: Trouble Care & Acne Cleanser for clear skin.

This face wash comes in a 150ml light blue tube and has a pretty painting of the ocean and a palm tree leaf on the front. On the bottom is a white flip-top lid!

The soap-like cleanser has a light floral fragrance and a simple white color. It contains Triclocarban and Hibiscus for healthy skin. Furthermore it contains Pure Clay Water from the Hawaiian sea and Deep Sea Water which is full of minerals.

I currently use this face cleanser in the evening and I like it so far. It makes my skin so clean and smooth after usage without drying my skin out too much (but it might burn when you get it in your eyes).

Clay Pack:

Description: Pore-cleaning Clay Pack that tightens pores, making the skin feel fresh, soft and smooth.
At the moment I prefer to use those sheet masks but I still wanted to try out this Clay Pack for acne skin which comes in a round light blue plastic jar. The jar contains 95ml and has a silver twist-off lid. The jar itself comes inside a clear plastic box!

The pore-cleaning clay pack contains Hibiscus, Noni Extract, Pure Clay and Deep Sea Water.
Hibiscus tightens pores while Noni Extract offers moisture to the skin.
It also contains ingredients like Fig Fruit Extract, Licorice Root Extract, Aloe Vera Juice, Volcanic Ash, Alcohol and more.

The creamy face mask has the same floral scent as the Acne Cleanser and a pinkish-brown color. Just apply the mask to your face and leave it on for 10~15 minutes before you rinse it off.

The Hawaiian FRESH Clay Pack isn't bad and I really like to use it once a week because I do believe it cleanses my pores way better than those sheet masks.
If you got troubled skin and look for a clay pack you can give it a try! It's similar to [Lioele]'s PORE CLEAN & TIGHTENING PACK which I might review soon as well.

Price: Between 14,- € and 18,- €/ US$18-20

Bought at: eBay (kococolor & hsckoreanimport) 

What I love:

It cleanses my skin quite well and has a nice scent!   

What I don’t like:

The Acne Cleanser burns in my eyes - that's all I don't like atm. 

Will I buy this again? I might but I will get the Mango Pack first

[NATURE REPUBLIC] tweety! BB CREAM *BRIGHT SKIN*

Recently I don't buy many BB Creams because I want to finish the ones I already own first, but when I saw that [NATURE REPUBLIC] released a limited 'tweety! (LOONEY TUNES)' edition I had to grab its tweety! BB CREAM. I got NO. 01 BRIGHT SKIN and it's also available in a darker shade. 
This product line consists of four (4) products:
- LOVELY MASK (7 different sheet masks)
- JELLY MOISTURIZER
- BB CREAM (2 shades of beige)
- POWDER PACT (2 shades of beige)

Description: This feather-light BB cream makes your skin look bright and clear. SPF25 PA++ Whitening + Anti-Wrinkle + UV Protection

The cute BB cream comes in a yellow tube with a pic of Tweety on it (each color got another picture of Tweety). The product contains 35ml and has a white twist-off lid.
The outer packaging is kept in yellow and brown and is printed with soy ink. Inside the packaging are some pics of Bugs Bunny, Sylvester and Road Runner. 

The description is written in English and Korean.

7 NON ADDED FORMULAS: Paraben, Talc, Mineral Oil, Benzophenone, Ethanol, Organic Pigments and Sulfate.
Some ingredients inside this BB are Evening Primerose Oil, Lavender Water, Rosemary Leaf Water, Portulaca Oleracea Extract and much more.

NO. 01 BRIGHT BEIGE is a light beige without a pink or yellowish undertone. The color suits my pale skin tone quite well.
The light creamy texture, with its soft scent, changes to a rather watery consistency on the skin. Because of that, it doesn't cover skin blemishes perfectly.

Being a moisturizing BB Cream without a very good oil control I would recommend it more for those with normal or dry skin. It's also better for people who don't need to cover many blemishes.

How to use: Apply an appropriate amount lightly to the skin.

Price: around 7,- €/ US$9 
Bought at: eBay (f2plus1) 

What I love:  
The cute design! Good for hot days (summer).

What I don’t like: 
Not a good oil control and a light coverage. 

Will I buy this again? No, I won't!

[NATURE REPUBLIC] SOOTHING & MOISTURE ALOE VERA 92% SOOTHING GEL

Aloe vera is a succulent-like plant with gel-filled leaves. The gel inside is associated with many healing benefits, and can be used both internally and externally. Externally it is most used for the relief of many skin complaints, including sunburns, acne, dry skin, insect bites, stretch marks, cuts/ wounds, aging skin and more.

Since I suffer from oily skin, dry skin, sensitive skin and breakouts from time to time I thought that aloe vera gel might be worth a try. I decided to get the SOOTHING & MOISTURE ALOE VERA 92% SOOTHING GEL from korean brand [NATURE REPUBLIC]. This gel contains 92% pure aloe vera gel and can be used by any skin type, also sensitive skin. I was reading that it was sold more than 1.5 million times in Korea already!

You can also get a Cleansing Foam with 80% aloe vera.

The skin care products of [NATURE REPUBLIC] are endorsed by different KPop celebrities like JYJ, Rain, Goo Hara (KARA), Jang Geun Suk and some more.

Description: Abundant 92% aloe vera! Mild formula free from paraben, mineral oil and artificial colors. This soothing gel with 92% organic aloe vera certified by California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF) can be used to mildly moisturize various parts of the body such as the face, arms, legs, and hair. 

[NATURE REPUBLIC]'s aloe vera gel comes in a quite big, green plastic container and contains 300ml what should last for a long time if you don't use it everyday on your whole body. The container is also a bit translucent and has a second clear cover underneath the lid to protect the gel from spilling out.

The main ingredient is Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract (92%). Some other ingredients are Alcohol, Butylene Glycol, Betaine, Carendula Officinalis Flower Extract, Spearmint Extract, Melissa Officinalis Extract, Water, Perfume and others.

It is free of Paraben, Mineral Oil and Artificial Colors.

The gel is colorless and nice scented. It doesn't feel sticky and becomes a bit more watery when I massage it over my skin. It gets absorbed by my skin very fast and does refresh well. Afterwards my skin feels smooth and stays oil-free for longer than with a normal face cream.

Btw, you can keep the gel in your fridge for a more cooling and refreshing feeling!

I use the aloe vera gel mostly on my face only - sometimes alone and sometimes under another face cream. I really like it till now and hope it will help my skin complaints! I'm also curious about how it works under my make-up. I know that you can mix the gel with your make-up base or foundation - I will do that next time.

How to use: Apply an appropriate amount to dry, sensitive parts of the face and body often for the best results. For external use only! 

Price: around 10,- €/ US$12  

Bought at: eBay (rubyruby76)   

What I love: 
Everything till now!  

What I don’t like:  

Nothing yet! Except from the fact that you need to dip your fingers in the gel again. 

Will I buy this again? Yes, I would if it helps long-term! Maybe will try out another aloe vera gel the next time like the one from [Holika Holika].
