I got a few samples of the Core Seed Purifying Essence from my trips to a physical The Face Shop store, along with samples of other products like the White Seed Exfoliating Foam Cleanser and Baby Leaf Green Tea Waterfull Serum.

I saw the ad for this online and in store, Suzy from MissA is the model for it (she’s so pretty omg). I found it a bit weird when they said it’s extracts from seed embryo – probably didn’t have to include the word embryo? Made me a bit uncomfortable ahaha. But still, i guess it’s good for your skin!

Smell: Light fragrance. Not sure what it smells like.

Texture: Quite watery and absorbs well. Not strong sticky feeling.

Looks: Watery, a bit white.

Ingredients and use suggestions:

Results/thoughts: I used this day and night for about 3-4 days. It didn’t break me out, and in fact slightly brightened my skin somewhat and my pores seemed smaller! 😮 Quite moisturising as well! Cleared my dry patches 🙂 So far these products from The Face Shop have been exceeding my expectations! I must say i like this a bit better than the Baby Leaf Green Tea Waterfull Serum, which didn’t do much for my skin other than moisturise it, and possibly (probably did not) broke me out.

Would i purchase the full size: I think the full size is a bit pricey for me at the moment, but probably not for most other people. It’s about $25-$30 for a bottle of 60mL. I might buy it in the future once i start earning more money. I really quite like it! I’ll just use the samples for now until i save up 😛 If you want to try it, you can get it from Q-depot.
