I was given this amazing opportunity to try Graisset Repair Moisture range, sponsored by Graisset which is a korean brand exclusive to Korea only. Some boutiques in Hong Kong sell Graisset but it is very limited due to its high performance of their products. Luckily for me, I got to try their repair moisture range for the winter time.
Graisset do various ranges to suit different skin types, including, whitening, and Gold Line which is aimed at mature/anti-ageing skin, Vitamin C, repair moisture and the anti-wrinkle line. Not only this but there are toners, cleaners, serums and moisturisers to suit your skins needs.
I have always followed the 3 step skin regime to help my skin repair faster and remain clean. This set allows me to tone, cleanser and moisturise together.
I always buy my cleansers, toners and moisturisers from the same range if possible to get maximum results.
I was so suprised by the amount that is contained in these bottles. I started to use them when I came back from Hong Kong to England in December and now I am still using them 4 months later!
Graisset is very exclusive from Korea and cannot be purchased unless there is a legal seller in your country, in Hong Kong there are very limited places that sell Graisset.
My skin is always dry-sensitive when its autumn-winter. I suffer from rosacea which is very painful to touch. My cheeks and forehead just go red and feel very tight, like burns, mega dehydration and its unbelievably painful to touch so I use extra sensitive products until the weather starts warming up (which is around middle of April - end of September in England).
I always worry when it comes to cold weather because it's the time for me to adjust my skin care and I have to be extra careful of what I purchase as the wrong products irritate my rosacea even more which effectively, it damages the skin that's trying to heal.
First step is to tone.
The box instructs to use this toner after your wash is washed and use 1ml of this by applying it in a gentle outward direction. This helps the face to lift and toners help your skins pH levels to be balanced therefore you don't need much of this other than 1ml.
There is 150ml/5.07 fl oz of product in this bottle and the expiry date is 3 years.
Pro's:
- lotion is light
- makes the skin soft
- the product lasts for more than one season so it is good for those who suffer with cold skin in the autumn - winter time
Cons's:
- the lotion takes a while to come out the bottle due to the lid fixed at the top and not adjustable
- the bottle itself is made of glass, therefore very heavy. Not suitable for travel.
second step is to apply the emulsion which is to cleanse.
This is applied after about a minute the toner is set on the face.
I use a small piece of cotton pad to apply this in an upward and outward direction to help the skin become more uplifted.
There is 150ml/5.07 fl oz of product in this bottle.
Pro's:
- the lotion is nice and thick
- glides onto the face smoothly and holds the moisture in the skin
- a little goes a long way, this would ideally last for more than one season, particularly autumn - winter for those who suffer with dry skin in cold seasons.
Cons:
- bottle is heavy as it is made of glass, therefore it is not suitable for travelling with.
I enjoyed using the Moisturiser the most, it is the first product out of the collection to be finished first. I love the thick consistency of the lotion, it makes my skin feel so nourished and moisturised, especially where it's very dry and my skin starts peeling (usually around my nose and lips area).
There is 60g/2.1 fl oz of product in this bottle.
Pro's:
- thick lotion locks in moisture in the skin
- glides onto the skin smoothly
- absorbed into the skin within about 3-5 seconds
- does not make the skin oily
Con's:
- bottle is heavy as it is made of glass therefore not ideal for travel
- lotion does not last on my skin for longer than a few hours in very cold weather conditioners
- I do find there is a heavy fragrance to the products but it is a pleasant fragrance.
I wouldn't recommend it to those who don't like fragrances products because even after it is applied to the skin, the scent lingers.
I love how thick this moisturiser is, it's perfect for winter skin and it blends quickly which is what you want rather than standing there blending it so much it damages the tissues of your skin.
It is advised to apply a small nut sized amount and wait until the equilibrium temperature is reached? I am not too sure what that means but I apply it as soon as the second step is done.
I love the packaging overall but the jars are made of glass and they are so heavy. They look so professional and tidy in their boxes and kits.
Using this line of products during my coldest seasons has saved my skin from falling apart!I am really glad I got to use all 3 of these products to help my skin to be hydrated the way it did. Infact, I am still using this now and it has lasted me for quite a few months! WOW!
This line of product is not easy to find, it is only available in Korea! It is very exclusive but if you are interested, there is a fanpage on facebook about these products.
I personally think its a great gift for those who suffer from dry skin of a winter time. Each product comes with their own boxes and it is neatly presented.
Graisset - you have been my best friend in my cold winter - Thank You for saving me!
