Cleansing cream with a flawless sensation specially formulated to gently remove makeup, oil and impurities from complexion.
Mineral Oil Free / Alcohol Free
150ml
Directions:
Apply cream to dry facial surface and massage until makeup is dissolved. Wipe off face with facial pad/tissues and wash with cleansing foam and water.
This oil free sun block is specifically designed for the face to defend against powerful UVA/UVB rays.Creates an ideal base for make-up application. Formulated with Phyto Active Complex to counteract roughness and keep skin looking soft and healthy and with the antioxidant Thiotaurine. Can be easily applied and absorbs quickly, leaving no visible white residue or trace of stickiness. Resists the effects of sweat and humidity.
My verdict:
This is really a nice sunblock that serves as a great makeup base as well. I like the high SPF factor. Upon application, it is readily absorbed by the skin. No stickiness as stated. I waited 10 minutes before I pile on my BB cream (also with SPF). After 2 hours at the swimming pool, I am so glad that I did not get tanned like the previous time (with only BB cream). If you know you are going to be out in the sun for a long time, it is better to layer your suncreen products for better protection. And after a long day under the sun, deep cleanse your skin and put on skin whitening products (face masks, moisturisers, etc). Sometimes, you can only see your skin has darkened a shade the next day so it’s better to do all you can first. Black pigmentations (for Asians’ skin) tend to surface after exposure to sun, I prefer to take all these preventive measures than spend time on fading these spots and freckles.
If you really want to take a step further to have fair skin, there are also supplements available.

先解释一下为何品名会取为”土小熊”~
土小熊是”獾”的别称，而”獾油”是专门用来改善烧烫伤的肌肤，
让受损的肌肤达到完美重建的功效，
不过因为獾油取得不易且珍贵，所以并没有办法大量的使用在保养品上，
而土小熊的主要人气商品就是添加了”獾油”成分，
它们成功的解决了皮肤敏感、痘肌、毛孔粗大者长期的困扰~
并成为韩国唯一专利使用”獾油”的品牌，
在2007年更获得韩国美妆大赏的金牌!!
由于询问度太高的关系，
让土小熊更连连接受了国家的电视报导与新闻报导，
使得总公司曾经因此而完全断货五次之多，
这也说明了此品牌令人值得信任之处与超高人气的证明~~
在土小熊保养品系列中，
又以美白保湿 / 改善毛孔粗大 / 严重痘痘为最受欢迎的三种系列商品，
并年年创下网路购物的高人气指数！

My Review:
When I squeeze the mask out, the colour really puts me off. It’s red copperish kind of brown. There is a herbal smel which some people might not like. The texture of the mask is soft and does not seem to be able to deliver all its promises. My first impression is the packaging and looks of the mask seem so not ”upmarket” , I am so doubtful of the results, thinking all the good press about this mask is so overrated.
Upon application, I observe how quickly the wet mask dries up. In the beginning, there was a bit of cooling effect. As the mask dried up more, there was more tightening of the skin. I can see my blackheads and clogged pores surfacing, especially on my nose.
After 20 minutes, I washed the mask away and was really pleased with how clean my nose was. Some old scars seem to have lightened a bit. No negative reaction to the mask. For such a huge tube, this is really value for money. So far I have also tried the toner, emulsion and intensive whitening cream from the Osory range. The toner and emulsion is pretty average. The intensive whitening cream feels nice and easily absorbed by the skin. As for the whitening effect, will review after longer period of usage.
Not all products from Osory listed here yet. Please send me your enquiries if you are interested in any items from this range as I will take some time to prepare all info.
