[Sample Impression] Amore Pacific Moisture Bound Rejuvenating Creme
I remember getting a Amore Pacific sample and liking it a lot, but the full size product is too expensive. So I do have some high expectations of this sample. Its a 0.1 fl oz sample and the box says its made in Korea. This moisturizer main ingredients seems to be bamboo sap and has anti-aging benefits.
The packaging of the sample is different. It was hard to tell which was top and bottom at first. The cap is a screw on but it covers the majority of the cup the holds the product very much like lipstick products. The cap is much thicker and heavier than the cup holding the product. The product only take up 1/3 of the cup like thing so its look very small compare to the packaging. No, actually I measured it. The cup is 1 inch tall and the product height in it is only 1/4 of an inch. Seriously they could have put it in a foil packet or something. The top of the cap has like a fisheye effect mirror on it too.
First thing about the product I noticed is the smell. The smell of alcohol and that chemically perfume smell mix together. Yes, after looking at the ingredients this, there is alcohol and fragrance in this product. The smell is a bit strong at first but it does die down after some time so it doesn't linger all day. The creme is really lightweight and absorbs well. It says it mimics skin's own barrier function which I'm not too sure how one can really tell if its working or not. It also says it boosts the skin's ability to bind moisture which is kind of hard to tell since this is a moisturizer you can feel it moisturizing. There's anti-aging properties too.
The ingredients list is a long list of mostly scientific names with some extracts from flowers and seeds. I don't see a noticeable improvement to my skin, so I don't feel it justifies the $150 price for te full size product. So I wouldn't recommend it since there's probably better moisturizers out there at a cheaper price.
