July 3, 2017by Jude Chao 8 Comments

Amorepacific Time Response Skin Renewal Serum is a high-end anti-aging serum that does have visible effects. The question is whether the effects are worth the price.

The last time I stayed here was for a KCON panel, so it's funny that another Kpop-related reason brings me back to this hotel: @jessica.syj's appearance tomorrow for @blancandeclare_official and @beautytapofficial at the Purist pop-up! Obviously I'm not going to skimp on #skincare before that, so here's tonight's post-cleanse #skincareroutine. . All products provided by my job except the Miss O mask, which was provided by @beautibi, and the #Sulwhasoo First Care Activating Serum EX, which I bought. . Sulwhasoo First Care Activating Serum EX . Sulwhasoo Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Water . Miss O "Long Night" sheet mask . Sulwhasoo Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Emulsion . #Sum37 Secret Repair Concentrated Eye Cream . #HistoryofWhoo In Yang Neck and Face Sleeping Repair Pack (thanks to @beautyandthecat for turning me on to this!) . #kbeauty #hanbang

Because it's #nationalpetday, I'd like to introduce you to the lizard that got stuck in my house for two days after hitching a ride in on a broom. This silly fucker was found exploring my bathroom and is now back outside where he belongs, except I keep thinking about him and hoping he's okay. I would have kept him if I'd thought it would be better for his life!

In honor of the new #Sulwhasoo Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Water being the Dailytap deal of the day at my job @beautytapofficial, here are my early impressions after two weeks of twice-daily use! . Products provided by my job. . Billed as an #antiaging toner, the Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Water has a thick, almost milky, gel-like consistency--it feels more like a serum than a toner. . The ultra-thick consistency of the product actually lends to the one major complaint I have about it: the shaker bottle is not really the best way to dispense something this thick. Shaker bottles are best for very thin and runny, watery products. The Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Water's beautiful, heavy glass bottle feels like a fancy Shake Weight(TM) as I violently shake product out onto my hand. . With that being said, the product? Whew. It's everything I hoped it would be. While it takes a while to sink in, once it does, it leaves my skin looking extra firm and plump, with a highly moisturized luster at the surface. This product also mildly stimulates circulation in my face, so my cheeks get both bouncy and glowy. . It smells as you would expect, ginsengy, but in a softer and fresher way than the Capsulized Ginseng Fortifying Serum. Mr. Fiddy doesn't complain about the scent when I put this on the way he used to when I'd put on the serum. . The thickness and ginsengy goodness of this product make me think it could have sold well as a sort of beginner ginseng serum. I'm glad they'v'e packaged it as a toner though, because bottles of toner come with way more product than bottles of serum. . I use this immediately after my First Care Activating Serum EX in the evening and on a totally clean face in the morning. In the morning, I've been following up with the Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Emulsion, which is one of only two emulsions that I like. . We are experiencing some issues with the banner for this deal on our site homepage, but the Dailytap page and product page should be fine, and the $45 sale price (originally $80) is accurate. . When is water more than water? When it's GINSENG WATER! . Full ingredients are on our site and CosDNA. . #kbeauty #hanbang #beautydeals
