Blue Cica Azulene Dew Soothing Hydration Cream

product review positives
When I look at the ingredients I usually focus on couple ingredients which will tell me a bit more about the moisturizer like Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Extract. I've decided to start from this ingredient since Hamamelis is one of the most basic ingredients that we usually forget about. I know Witch Hazel extract as the extract that is recommended for acne-prone skin due to its antibacterial properties but chem lab at cosmetology shown me that Witch Hazel can be treated as a repairing ingredient since it boosts the healing process. Right after Hamamelis, I can see Algae Extract and there's a funny story about A. By Bom cream. There's a problem that Algae is a name for a large group of Algae so it's hard to say which one was used in the formula. We usually use Algae in skincare for moisture. According to A. By Bom, the ingredients that should make us interested in Blue Cica Azulene Dew Soothing Hydration Cream is Azulene, Pentavin and Water. Yes, Water! We shouldn't also forget about Centella Asiatica and Spirulina. It is told that Water used in a moisturizer is "deep sea water in Gangwon". The reason why this type of water is used by A. By Bom is the number of minerals found in clean water. Still, I believe Azulene is an ingredient that we should be more interested in. Hidden under the name Guaiazulene, it's a colourant which is usually derived from Chamomile. It is told that Guaiazulene can be anti-inflammatory. Let's clear one thing, Pentavin is hidden here under the name Saccharide Isomerate, an emollient that locks the moisture in the skin. It is told that the effectiveness of this ingredient is so high, you need to use AHA to remove it from the surface of the skin since it can't be washed off. If you're scared then let me tell you one thing - it doesn't have to be bad for the skin. It's a formula which I can trust, but instead of trusting ingredients - I trusted the texture. I might be a woman that goes to stores, checks the formula, looks at how it works on my hand or skin (if I got a sample) but sometimes she needs to get stuff because they look pretty. Aren't we all sometimes like magpies? The moisturizer is ideal for the summer since it cools down the skin and gives it this feeling of purity. My hair likes to stick to my face after I use this moisturizer but oh boy, during the heatwave there's nothing better than a cold gel formula that makes me feel like I'm living instead of slowly dying due to my low heat tolerance. I can say that texture might look like water but once you take it out of the jar, it reminds me of aloe vera gel. If I have to pick - this moisturizer or aloe gel, I'll go for A. By Bom since aloe gels sometimes aren't made the right way. The box contains quite a huge and wide spatula but there's nothing bad about it, I'm thankful that it contains spatula at all.
