I received two new skin care products from Althea Korea. Besides always looking for fancy makeup products I also always maintain my day and night skincare routine. Until now Althea Exclusives line skin care products are my favorite skin care products among my skincare stash. In this post, I will blog about these two new products that recently release by Athea Korea.
Althea Waterful Green Bamboo Pads (80EA)
Waterful Green Bamboo Pads is the one step moisture pads to provide the skin with maximum hydration in an instant. Which contains hydrating essence to smooth skin texture and prep skin before makeup. Althea Smart Beauty that will keep skin hydrated all day long with our moist-veil system technology. Althea's Waterful Green Bamboo Pads prevents moisture evaporation by forming a moisture network patch to keep moisture in.
One swipe replenishes moisture while encouraging the absorption of active ingredients for skin that glows.
Packaging
Like those toner pads packaging, it comes in a cute toner pads tube with a total of 80 pieces of the thin toner pads. Each of the bamboo pads is soaked with Bambusa Vulgaris Extract. Where Bamboo extract is rich in minerals and amino acids that deeply penetrate into the layers of the skin to hydrate while protecting the skin's barrier with moisture.
Texture
Unlike the other toner pads, Althea Waterful Green Bamboo Pads are made using a mix of eucalyptus and tencel to create a natural cotton gauze that allows the essence to absorb well into the skin. Although I have some difficulties separating each of the bamboo pads at first, when you get used to it you can easily use the beauty tools to separate each of the pads. It is super thin and light-weight when applying on the face and but also super moist with all the Bamboo extracts contains it.
How to use
As a toner pad
After cleansing, wipe onto the skin, starting from the center of the face and working your way out before gently patting the skin until the product is fully absorbed
As a mask pad
For a more concentrated dose of hydration, place the pads onto targeted areas of the skin and allow to sit for 10-15 minutes. Remove, then gently pat in remaining product into the skin until fully absorbed.
I always suffer dry skin, especially on my cheeks and chin area. I would like my skin to be instant hydrate and using Althea Waterful Green Bamboo Pads it helps to lock and prevent any moisture evaporation. It best to prep my skin before I apply any makeup too. I used it after I cleanse my face, during day and night time. I can feel my skin super moisture and makeup stay all day without any dry patches. Since this Althea Waterful Green Bamboo Pad is made with EWG green(1-2) grade ingredients only, it is safe and suitable even for sensitive skin type.

Althea Skin Relief Calming Cream 80 ML
A soothing cream that hydrates and repairs damage caused by irritations and harmful environmental factors. Althea Skin Relief Calming Cream reinforces the skin’s barrier. In contains Panthenol and a soothing complex made with 5 soothing ingredients to strengthen the skin.
Packaging
The packaging is their normal tube squeeze packaging, which is more hygienic and convenient to use. Where I am super a super lazy girl, I would rather use this kind of packaging skincare because of its convenience. Although most of the moisturizer comes in spatula where you have to scoop out the amount, you have to make sure the spatula is clean too.
Texture
The texture is really thick and creamy. I remember once I squeeze too much to apply and it was so thick on my skin. Although it spread and absorb to my skin later, and I really love how creamy and thick the texture is.
With a mix of shea butter and hydrogenated lecithin, Althea Skin Relief Calming Cream nourish the skin and form a moisture barrier while chamomile water and seawater soothe and improve moisture retention in the skin. Do you know that shea butter also is known as the “African treasure”, shea butter is rich with skin hydrating properties that nourish skin and forms a protective moisture barrier. Now I know why the texture is super creamy and moisture when I apply all over my face. It creates the moisture barrier which I don't feel too heavy or sticky on my face too. Althea Skin Relief Calming Cream is also packed with sea water with comes in natural minerals that have anti-aging properties for a radiant glow.
Althea Skin Relief Calming Cream is suitable for those easily irritated skin due to harmful external factors. Also who always suffer from dryness and sensitive skin.
