Product Review : Laneige Homme Active Water Emulsion


I got it together when I bought Laneige active water sleeping pack. Note, I bought it without the opportunity to test the product because the store was on sale and crowded... a value buy for such a large bottle... the pump bottle is so pretty and convenient to use... it was the last bottle on shelf...  (lets skip the excuses). Alright, I admit it... it was an impulse purchase.

Super like the pump packaging
The texture of this product is a silky milk-colored emulsion. I really like the dewy feeling after applied, but it may be a little too nourishing and oily for my oily skin. Therefore I've decided not to do much review on this product because clearly this product is not meant for my skin type, I cant really comment much. Nonetheless, I decided to test the product with water to better understand this product.

A simple experiment conducted on this product showing the solubility of emulsion in order to identify the oil content of this product. If you have oily skin and prefer oil-cut product or non-sticky after feel, the product should be able to dissolve in water after a few quick stir. For dry skin type which may require more hydration and moisture retaining performance, the product should be more difficult to dissolve in water or have some(little) lumps after a few stir.

Note there are some small visible lumps after stiring, no wonder this feels oily on my skin. Fear not my friend... I need to mention that this product didn't work on me doesn't mean that it will not work on you, I just clear up the situation by explaining the nature of this product. Who knew that this might turn out to be the favorite of yours!

So, there it is, I can't forget this thought to myself, I should've tested the product before I bought it, if no I could've avoiding it sitting idle on my shelf and I would've save me a few bucks for bucks.
