A Wren Says

I got a hold of the Sulwhasoo Firming Cream, tried for a few days, and now want to share with you my experience. A quick background, this product.

Essential Comfort Firming Cream

$120 for 75mL

The brand touts two key ingredients in this cream:

1. JISUN Firming Complex™ : main ingredients: Goji berry, black soybean, arrowroot
2. JAUM Moisturizing Complex™: Main ingredients: Herbs… (that is all they said)

These two proprietary ingredients clearly are in there to firm and moisturize the skin. But is that what I experienced?

I did a half face comparison the first night. After cleansing my skin, my right side got this moisturizer. It was okay. Night two, I smoothed the cream over my entire face. I found myself waking with skin that felt  dry, tight, but didn’t look like it. I couldn’t see any dryness. Is that the firming action?

Personally, I didn’t like the tightening feeling. It made me self-conscious that my face looked dry. Perhaps, I would be better off pairing this product with the other items in the Essential Comfort collection. Maybe my skin would feel better then.

After my little experiment, my personal experience is that this cream moisturizes and firms. If that is something you are looking for, try this product. However, if you are anything like me, who has perpetually dry skin and longs for a dewy finish, this will not be a favorite for you.
