Dr. Jart Cicapair Tiger Grass Color Correcting Treatment



 Its kind of hard to categorize what this Cicapair color correcting treatment is as it calms the skin, is like a light concealer, and has some moisturizing properties as well as it also acts like a primer. Oh, and it has SPF 30! I've had a sample of the tiger grass cream, and I wasn't wow by it, but I've heard this color correcting one was good for redness so I ended up getting the full size one. I am pleasantly surprised at how good this product works. While its not a miracle worker, it does immediately reduce any irritation on my skin, reduce the appearance of redness, and it even hides the appearance of my pores so I have a more flawless-like look to my skin. For a product to do so much I can't highly recommend this enough.



 Its $52 for a 1.7 fl. oz jar. It will take me many months to go through this jar as a little can go a long way. It took me a couple weeks just to clear the product that was on the lid which was like a teaspoon and a half amount. The cream is practically odorless which is a plus. It does has a pale green color to it which is good to negate the redness. Once you massage the cream to your face it will turn to a skin color. My skin is light in tone and I have no issues with the color of it being off at all. The color isn't strong so it won't really replace foundation and concealer. You don't really feel it on the skin so its not heavy feeling at all either.

 Definitely exfoliate if you have patchy dry skin areas. This cream won't look good on those areas, and it will soothe your skin after exfoliating. This cream has helped me when I was using an irritating acne treatment wash. Definitely recommend this or any of the cicapair products if you are using any skin treatments that is irritating.

 Since it has SPF I can only use this in the daytime. Direction says to use this after toner and serum. It says it has herb complex that moisturize and strengthen skin, and mineral solution and panthenol to replenish skin's moisture barrier. Since its winter, I do not find this to be moisturizing enough so I do still use a moisturizer as well. Perhaps in the summer I can be fine with just this as my moisturizer. When that time comes I will try to remember to update this to see how it does on my oily skin on those hot humid days. Overall, I do recommend this treatment cream!

Innisfree No-Sebum Mineral Powder



When the weather got warmer I needed a powder to help keep my oil down as well make my skin feel smooth rather than tacky after foundation or BB cream. So I was curious about Korean brands and knew that innisfree is a natural ingredients brand. In the past I've tried korean brands and noticed there were quite a handful of parabens in the ingredients list in most if not all of the products I've used. I saw their No-Sebum powder and bought that since it had some decent reviews.

This cost $6 for a little 2 inch circular product. Its like the bare minerals foundation with a holed plastic layer to separate the powder. It also comes with a soft poof. Now I haven't tried these poofs before, but I didn't find it effective. It didn't hold much powder nor did it distribute much powder to my face. Cleaning it was pretty easy though. I use Ajax dish soap and it was able to clean it like new. You can use the powder in other areas like your hair, underarms, etc. It has the typical powder smell, but it is light so I usually don't smell it. The packaging says it has Jeju natural minerals and mint, but here is the full ingredients list: SILICA, CORN STARCH MODIFIED, DIMETHICONE/VINYL DIMETHICONE CROSSPOLYMER, CAPRYLIC/CAPRICTRIGLYCERIDE, MICA, METHICONE, MINERALSALTS, CAMELLIA SINENSIS LEAF EXTRACT, MENTHA ARVENSIS LEAF EXTRACT, ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN, DIMETHICONE, GLYCERYL CAPRYLATE, ETHYLENE/ACRYLIC ACID COPOLYMER, 1,2-HEXANEDIOL, FRAGRANCE


The powder is white, but its pretty translucent so it doesn't appear white on the skin. Its easy to apply enough to make the skin feel smooth. I even used my fingers to apply. During the hot humid summer days I did find that my oiliness did lessen a bit, but not totally. Once the weather starter to cool down it did a much better job of keeping my face pretty oily free.

I do like this product more than I thought I would. It is soft and fine, and makes me skin feel nice. I say it does its job well, and I can get quite oily during the day. It may not work well too well hot humid summer days but I don't know any product that can really make you oil free on those kind of days. Overall, I do recommend this product! I hope to try more from this brand.
