Somewhat disappointed…
I wish I weren’t so disappointed in this product. In the listing, it sounds great, and based on the ingredients, it should probably be great as well. But there are some serious problems with this that I just can’t get past. First off, the fact that the product is made in China does give me pause. A lot of things are made in China and they work just fine, but I feel like this is almost marketed as a Korean skincare product, if not outright directly then indirectly. Most Korean skincare is actually made in Korea, and it disturbs me to see the made in China label. I’m also disturbed to see that because this is marketed as higher end, and China made products aren’t known for being higher end. Perhaps that perception will change as more higher end products come out of China, but that isn’t the current perception that most people have (particularly in the United States), so it’s difficult to FEEL that this is a genuinely high end product right off the back. That negative perception is further reinforced by the fact that this face spray is packaged in a plastic bottle. That is what I really couldn’t believe. Most high end cosmetics and skin care companies would package something like this in glass, particularly with the care given to not having a straw in the sprayer in order to avoid harmful matter from being inducted back in through the sprayer. Why is the bottle not glass? The plastic cheapens the product so much. While I DO like the brevity of the ingredients list and feel that this shows that the company cares about what the consumer is putting on their body, the rest takes away from that care. The spray is suitably refreshing, but not very moisturizing, and I felt that it left me with a bit of drying effect, which I didn’t like. I did like the scent though. I’m not sure I would use this long term or recommend it though. I think there need to be some improvements made before this would be a real winner in my book.
