Face Conditioning

[Disclosure: This is a sponsored post. I received the product for a review purpose, but the opinions are my own based on my experience.]

YAY! A new product from Etude House that was launched in April 2014. I was so excited that I got this Etude House Face Conditioning Cream Light from Kbeautysecrets. It is a new improved formula from the previous Face Conditioning Cream and is more specialized for oily-combination skin. My skin is oily on the T-zone area and normal on the U-area. That's why I am very curious to try whether this product does what it claims or not.

Etude House Face Conditioning Cream Light SPF 25/PA++

Product description: A multifunction cream for natural makeup and skincare at one time. This is a quick and easy makeup boosting cream that smoothly conditions skin with its light and soft texture for a makeup-ready complexion.

Just like usual Korean products, this is the only English description I can found on the packaging yet very informative.

I am a person who prefers tube or pump packaging to the jar ones for the sake of hygiene. Therefore, I am glad this one doesn't come in jar. The tube's material feels so similar to toothpaste tubes, but thinner and more squeezable. Hopefully you get what I mean :P

What it promises:

• It supplies silky & light elasticity to the skin and forms soft but elastic layers.
• It improves adhesive texture to promote moist, radiant looking skin.
• It supplies moist on inner skin depending on skin condition.
• It absorbs too much sebum.
• Rich moisturizing texture that spreads softly on the skin and makes the skin look healthy & elastic since it is adhesive to the skin tightly.

The cream has white appearance but it becomes translucent once it's blended properly and absorbs to the skin. It only takes a couple of seconds to absorb fully, and it has a dewy finish that doesn't feel sticky, instead it feels so light, moisturizing and smooth! I like the fact that it controls my oily T-zone, my blotting paper doesn't look as terrible as usual. I use this before my Etude House CC Cream, btw.

Somewhat runny consistency.

Also another good point, it offers SPF 25 with physical ingredient, which is titanium dioxide (please read my post titled Sun Screen Protection to understand why I choose physical ingredient over the chemical one). It doesn't state how many percent is the active ingredient, though.

Directions: After skin care, apply an appropriate amount on the face and pat lightly. For better absorption, wrap over your face with your palms.

Oh, I wish you could tell how smooth it is only by judging the picture.

Basically, this cream acts as a primer for me, it's good at oil control, makes my skin smooth and gives the radiant looking. However, as it is a cosmetic that provides smooth application with such affordable price. I spot they are using silicones in their ingredient (let me just point out silica, as the other ones are too difficult to spell LOL). Do I hate silicone-based product? No, not really, but do I dislike? Well, I wish it didn't contain silicones because I am afraid it will clog my pores and break out my skin. So far, there's no such allergic reaction on my skin, no dryness, no slight irritation as well. I will update this post if something unpleasant happens in the future, but I hope nooot! xD

What I like:

• easy to blend and quick absorption
• moisturizing my skin without making it look shiny or feel sticky
• smooth finish that helps applying makeup so much easier
• controls excess sebum on oily skin yet hydrates the skin at the same time
• nice fragrance

What I dislike:

• contains silicones
