[SKINFOOD] Peach Sake Pore BB Cream *Light Beige*

[SKINFOOD]'s Peach Sake line is probably one of their most popular product line. This products are specially made for people with enlarged pores and oily skin. I reviewed the Peach Sake Pore Serum here and will review the Peach Sake Pore BB Cream in #1 Light Beige now. These two are the only products I own from this line atm!

You can get the following products:
- Peach Sake Toner
- Peach Sake Emulsion
- Peach Sake Pore Serum
- Peach Sake Pore BB Cream
- Peach Sake Pore Pact
- Peach Sake Silky Finish Powder
- Peach Sake Sunscreen Lotion
- Peach Sake Pore Essence Mask Sheet

Description: Containing Peach extract that soothes oily, troubled skin, and Sake that controls excessive sebum secretion, this light-textured blemish cream effectively conceals skin impurities and gives a natural coverage for a flawless complexion. SPF20 PA+
The peachy pink tube has a white pump on the bottom and contains 30ml. The long lid comes in a wood-look - like a sake bottle.
Usually I don't really like BB Creams with pumps coz I have problems with getting the product out but this one here is easy to use.
The two main ingredients in this BB Cream are Peach Extract (60mg) and Sake Extract (60mg). Since the ingredient list is completely in Korean I can't read everything.
I got #1 Light Beige which looks like it has a yellowish/ peach undertone what I don't really like.
The light creamy consistency, with its slight peach scent, is easy to spread over my face.
The Peach Sake Pore BB Cream is a nice product but only when I apply a thin layer, otherwise the color doesn't fit my natural skin tone well. 
I like that it covers some of my pores without using too much product.
The coverage is okay while the oil control could be better. My skin looks shiny/ oily after a short time again!
How to use: After daily basic skincare regimen, apply and ample amount evenly onto skin to smooth the texture.

Price: around 7,- €/ US$8.50 
Bought at: eBay (ideaseller_kr)   

What I love: 
It covers some pores without using a lot of product, plus the peach scent is nice!

What I don’t like: 
The yellowish beige doesn't fit my natural skin tone well. Can apply just a thin layer!  

Will I buy this again? I don't think so! Would like to try out the Silky Finish Powder or Pore Pact, though.

[SKINFOOD] FRESH APPLE *Mild Pore Peeling Gel & Sparkling Pore Cream*

Recently I received my ordered FRESH APPLE products from [SKINFOOD]. I reviewed already the FRESH APPLE Smooth Pore Cream and got now the Mild Pore Peeling Gel, the Sparkling Pore Cream and samples of the Toner, Emulsion and Serum.
This product line is recommended for oily skin with enlarged pores

A No Sebum Spot Serum is now available as well!!

Description: Unripe green apple extract and carbonated water controls sebum production and tightens pores.
[Fresh Apple Story]
Unripe is an apple that tastes bitter and unripe which cares sebum and contact pores, which is eventually beneficial for pore care.
[Carbonated Water Strory]
Primary carbonated mineral water is one of the world's three "mysterious orient" water is called a freshness to the skin will be soft.

FRESH APPLE Mild Pore Peeling Gel:
The peeling comes in a greenish tube, same as those of cleansing foams. It has an metallic twist-off lid and contains 150ml. It has exactly the same design as the Smooth Pore Cream - just bigger.
The description on the back of the tube is completely in Korean, so it's hard for me to read the ingredients.
But I found out that it contains 150mg Carbonated Water and 750mg Green Apple Extract. These two are the main ingredients as well.
The consistency is gel-like and has a slight whitish color. The Mild Pore Peeling Gel can be used by all skin types coz it doesn't contain any harsh granules like many other face scrubs.
I apply it to my dry skin and rub it over my whole face until the product starts to peel off, then I wash it off with warm water.
Like all products in this line it smells for me like cucumber but that's probably the green apple. It doesn't have that sweet apple scent you might know from other apple products.
How to use: After washing and towel-drying, massage onto face in circular motion, and rinse with warm water.
Price: around 14,- €/ US$17.50 
Bought at: eBay (gooditem2012)  

What I love:  
It's gentle enough for sensitive skin! 

What I don’t like: 
There is nothing I don't like. 

Will I buy this again? No, it will last for a long time and should be enough. 

FRESH APPLE Sparkling Pore Cream:
Description: A cooling and hydrating pore tightener with fresh unripe green apple extract and carbonated water that controls sebum production and tightens pores. 

The face cream is inside a greenish (glass) jar, has also a metallic lid and contains 50g.
On the bottom is the description and Korean and English (can be opened).
As many other products the cream got a second cover underneath the lid. The main ingredients are Green Apple Extract (5,000mg) and Carbonated Water (2,500mg).
The refreshing gel cream does moisturize well and get absorbed quite fast. It has a whitish color and the same green apple scent as the other products in this line.
A very nice face cream! I wished it would sparkle/ tingle a bit on the face, though, since it contains carbonated water.
How to use: After emulsion or serum application, dispense an ample amount onto the palm and smooth over the entire face. 

Price: around 17,50,- €/ US$21.50
Bought at: eBay (gooditem2012)    

What I love:  
It refreshes and moisturizes my skin without getting too oily.

What I don’t like: 
Nothing yet!

Will I buy this again? Maybe I would but I'm not sure! 

FRESH APPLE Sparkling Pore Gift Set & Sparkling Pore Serum:
Beside the two full size products I also got some samples. The Sparkling Pore Gift Set contains the Sparkling Pore Toner and the Sparkling Pore Emulsion with each 5ml content.
Both products are colorless while the Emulsion has a thicker texture than the Toner - it's still rather runny, though.
The Serum has a white lotion-like consistency and I find it a bit similar to the Peach Sake Pore Serum
Price: around 3,60,- €/ US$4.30 (Gift Set);  around 1,60,- €/ US$2 (5 Serum Samples)

[SKINFOOD] Banana Yogurt Mask & Kiwi Yogurt Mask *Wash off*

While I was looking for new face masks containing yogurt I stumbled over [SKINFOOD]'s Banana Yogurt Mask Wash off and Kiwi Yogurt Mask Wash off. I got these two because banana is said to be good for sensitive skin and the kiwi one for oily skin. I would like to try out the Papaya Yogurt Mask as well, though.

I know that a lot of reviews exist already, especially of the Banana Yogurt Mask. Therefore, I will keep this review short!
Both face masks come in the same white, round container - it's the same design as of many other [SKINFOOD] products. There is no spoon/ spatula included, so you need to use your fingers or a pack brush to get the products out.
Each mask contains 100ml!

Banana Yogurt Mask Wash off:
Description: Yogurt mask with 'banana' extracts to prevent skin dehydration and softly soothe sensitive skin.

The main ingredients in this face mask are Banana Fruit Extract and Yogurt Powder. Some other ingredients are Water, Macadamia Seed Oil and Matricaria Flower Extract.
Underneath the twist-off lid is another white cover to protect the mask inside from spilling out.
The connsistency is creamy but also very runny. It's a bit difficult to apply the mask to my face coz of its watery/ runny texture. It has a yellowish color with yellow beads inside. These beads start to melt when I massage the Yogurt Mask over my face.
It smells like sweet bananas!
I like this mask coz it refreshes, soothes and moisturizes my dry/ sensitive skin well. 
I apply the mask to my face with a pack brush and massage it over my skin until the beads are melted, then I wait for some minutes and wash it off.
How to use: After cleansing, gently massage over dry face. Leave on your face for 10~15minutes. Rinse off

Kiwi Yogurt Mask Wash off:
Description: Yogurt mask with extracts of 'kiwi', tropical fruit rich in vitamin and juice.

The two (2) main ingredients are Kiwi Fruit Extract and Yogurt Powder. It also contains Water, Macadamia Seed Oil, Amorphophallus Konjac Root Extract and Zinc Sulfate.
The Kiwi Yogurt Mask shall control sebum and tightens pores!
Like the Banana Yogurt Mask this one has a runny texture. The greenish-white mask has green beads inside and a tropical/ citrus-like scent.
While massaging the product on my skin the beads start to melt again. I like this mask, too, even though I didn't notice a pore tightening effect yet.
How to use: After cleansing, gently massage over dry face. Leave on your face for 10~15minutes. Rinse off 

Price (each): around 8~9,- €/ US$9~10
Bought at: eBay (rubyruby76)     

What I love:  
Both masks are refreshing and moisturizing.  

What I don’t like:  
The texture is a bit too runny.  

Will I buy this again? Yes, I would. Might consider to get the Papaya Yogurt Mask first, tough.
