You know that beauty is always a recurring topic here on the blog. I like to write content related to this subject on videos, because I believe it is more interesting to explain and give my impressions about the products. But when we talk about skincare it gets a bit more complicated because it’s a product category that requires more than two or three days of use. I’ve been to several events recently to check out releases in this category and I thought it would be interesting, until I did not finish testing everything, present some of those products and brands on a post for you!
Trilogy – I love Trilogy! The brand is from New Zealand (where the brand is the number 1 in skincare) and the products have natural formulas. The collection includes exfoliators, toners, creams and also the rosehip oil – best-seller, Trilogy sells a bottle every 22 seconds! I would say that the brand’s highlight are the facial oils, with antioxidant properties that are anti-aging. I use some of the facial oils and also the night cream and I love them! They were my lifesavers during winter here, when my skin got so dry and after I used them, it improved dramatically, super moisturized. These two products are the new launchings: Rosehip Oil, now with a light formula, and also the Rosapene Radiance Serum, that smooths skin and protect against environmental damage.

Amore Pacific – it is one of the most luxurious Korean cosmetics brands. The focus of the brand is on skincare and there are several lines, for mild, moderate and advanced signs of age. The formulas take ingredients like green tea, bamboo sap and red ginseng that work together to reverse the signs of aging. Last week, the brands presented two new products. One is The Essential Creme Fluid, also the newest disruptor to the moisturizer category. This product offers the instant hydration of a fluid texture, while delivering the lasting benefits of a rich crème. Created with 150 baby green tea leaves which make up nutrient T-EssentialsTM and the brand’s exclusive Neutra-Melting Emulsion TechnologyTM, the product quickly penetrates the deepest layers of the skin to improve hydration, smoothness and firmness. The second products is the TIME RESPONSE Vintage Wash-Off Masque. It is made of 7-day fermented and aged green tea leaves that are visible in the formula to deliver superior antioxidant and brightening effects. The carefully cultivated green tea leaves maintain rich levels of protective compounds that boost the plants’ immunity against environmental stress, allowing them to flourish for more than three decades. AMOREPACIFIC’s patented fermentation process maximizes the benefits of the green tea leaves, resulting in skin that is instantly revitalized, more hydrated and glowing with radiance.
