Review: Mamonde First Energy Essence & First Energy Serum

I can never resist a good Japanese or Korean product and when I got to know Mamonde, a brand inspired by flowers, I was definitely over the moon.... I was at the pre launch of Mamonde not too long ago and was given the Mamonde First Energy Essence & First Energy Serum to try. 

They came so prettily packaged I was almost reluctant to use it, preferring to stare at it.... but well, curiosity got the better of me and I opened it up to try it finally...

The Mamonde First Energy Essence & First Energy Serum are actually great skincare boosters. These are recommended to be used immediately right after you have cleansed your face and this is suppose to help your other skincare absorb faster into our skin.

It has been formulated with the Floral Biotics Technology. And word has it that both the First Energy Essence & First Energy Serum were recently upgraded with the antioxidant Lactobacillus .

This has been said to be the world's first lactic acid bacteria for skin, discovered to strengthen the immune system and fortify the skin barrier, in becoming more firmer and healthier even in a harsh skin environment like what we go through everyday, under the sweltering sun, or in the skin drying air conditioning etc

The Mamonde First Energy Essence & First Energy Serum contain 81.31% honeysuckle flower lactic acid bacteria is blended together with the 1 year old fermented “Flower Vinegar” to provide skin with greater synergy effect, thus enhancing anti-oxidative activities beneath the skin. 

The “Flower Vinegar” is obtained through natural fermentation of all parts of the Honeysuckle flower over a year, contains antioxidant Polyphenol.

You can apply your skin softener or toner after the Mamonde First Energy Essence or First Energy Serum followed by your emulsion, essence, eye cream and cream. Don't you often wonder how these Korean women, especially ehemm, Park Shin Hye (who happens to be one of my favourite Korean actresses) have such beautiful skin. Well, no need to wonder too much, all you need is to invest a little bit more time and money if you desire skin like your favourite K-stars. And yes, FYI, Park Shin Hye is the face of Mamonde....

Mamonde First Energy Essence (150ml) is a water type booster that gives you a refreshing feeling upon application and is suitable for users with combination to oily skin ... and you will be sure to love the flowery scent .

This essence was fragrant... natural flower scent and very light and refreshing to use... It is ideal for days when I am out and about in the sun etc....

On the other hand, Mamonde First Energy Serum (100ml) is an emulsion type booster that provides a nourishing and soothing effect to those with dry skin. This is much more suitable for me, (and the flower scent is definitely a mood enhancer) when I decide to stay in air conditioning places as everyone knows air conditioning can be drying on the skin, and I do have dry skin...

I like it's flowery scent and that it was a little sticky (if you do not like it sticky, then try the essence which is lighter since it is for oily skin) but not too much but it was very light and refreshing... and yes, I will use it again!!!

Both products retail at RM119 each and can be purchased at Mamonde’s first beauty counter at AEON Bandar Utama this August. 

I can't wait for the beauty counter to open as I have fallen in love with this range I am having...which woman doesn't like flowers? And which woman does not want to be beautiful with a great skin care... with Mamonde, you can be beautiful with flowers and enjoy all the scent of flowers while taking care of your beauty regime...
