Review: Etude House Collagen Moistfull Skin Care Kit

Hello Princesses!

Today I'm going to be talking about Etude House's Collagen Moistfull Skincare Set. I bought this from Roseroseshop last year for only $3, which is such a bargain! The Collagen Moistfull Skincare is one of Etude House's bestselling products, and I've seen so many rave reviews that I just couldn't resist giving it a go! ^.^

The set comes in super cute mini tubes and tubs. This is actually a 6-step set consisting of;  
First essence-> Facial Freshener -> Essence -> Eye Cream -> Emulsion -> Cream

Collagen Moistfull First Essence

Hydrolyzed Collagen Alcohol, Adansonia Digitata Fruit Extract, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Butylene Glycol, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Benzophenone-5, Disodium EDTA, Phenoxethanol, CI 19140, CI 17200, Fragrance

Etude House Moistfull Collagen First Essence is a hydrating moisture and collagen essence. Baobab Tree extract contains moisturizing properties that penetrate deep for better and longer lasting hydration. Also, contains 90% Collagen composition that increases collagen synthesis, providing a lifting and tightening effect. Promotes a radiant and lustrous glow to complexion.

Directions: After cleansing and before facial freshner (toner). Apply an appropriate amount all over face.

Benefits:
Hydrates
Moisturizes
Increases Collagen Synthesis
Penetrates Deep

I really liked the First Essence! It had a very thin gel texture with a slightly sticky touch. It features the heavy citrus and slightly alcoholic smell like rest of the set. You only need a teeny tiny amount for your whole face, and it absorbs super fast without leaving a sticky residue. I found the First Essence to be fairly hydrating and moisturizing, but I can't really comment on the penetration or increase of Collagen Synthesis.

I really like that this Freshner/Toner is alcohol free! It smells super yummy, absorbs fast without a sticky residue and removes excess makeup and dirt. If feels moderately moisturizing for a toner and is pretty refreshing and revitalizing.

Long-Lasting Formula

This eye cream is quite thick and very very sticky. It took a long time to absorb and I didn't notice a difference in eye plumpness or reduction of fine lines. I did notice that when I woke up in the morning my eyes were quite puffy, but this went down within an hour.

This Emulsion has a thin jelly texture, absorbs moderately fast, but leaves a sticky film for a good 10+minutes. It feels gently moisturizing, but not too rich, which would make it perfect for day time wear, apart from the 10min wait!

Collagen Cream: Fight for dryness!! Firming moisture cream with baobab tree and collagen extract improving your dermal structure leaving tight and moist skin.

This cream is very sticky and takes a long time to absorb! It has a thin texture and is super easy to spread, but I did find that I needed quite a lot to cover my face properly. This cream feels moderately moisturizing, but nothing like the enriching night cream I was expecting.

What Do I Love

 - Lovely smell throughout the range

- Cute packaging

What Don't I Love

- Made my skin feel rough and rashy

- Not very moisturizing

-Takes so long for each step to absorb!

Final Thoughts

I didn't actually like this Skincare set! I've seen some rave reviews (and it was just soo cheap) so I just couldn't resist buying the samples to try it out! I found that it just takes too long to complete the skincare set morning and night, and it made my skin feel rough and dry (I'm not sure why) so I guess that this skincare just isn't quite right for me! I used it for a week and a half before switching back to my holy grail rosehip oil.

Have any of you princesses used the Collagen Moistfull Skincare Set before?
