How To Use
How To Use
●Use on skin after washing your face. ●Take an appropriate amount (2 spatulas' worth) onto the spatula and spread it over your entire face, massaging gently for about 1 minute. ●When it becomes lighter and turns into a lotion-like consistency, pat it into your skin. (There is no need to rinse or wipe it off.)
I first learned about IPSA when I received a sample when I purchased oil. I used it in the following order: lotion → water massage → emulsion → cream. When I squeezed it out, it had a soft gel-cream texture, and when I applied it to my face, it became as soft as emulsion. It absorbed very well into my skin and felt like it moisturized properly, but it didn't feel sticky at all! I gave it a rating of 4 because I liked it, but since I'm already using a lotion and serum, I'm not sure if I'd buy it again right away. For that reason, I thought it was a good product!
I bought it again because it was cheap, but I found it to be neither good nor bad. Massaging it in helped with facial swelling, but I didn't notice any other changes. I use a variety of IPSA products and recommend them to others, but this one just left me feeling a bit... (It could just be that it doesn't address my skin concerns as a woman in her 40s...)
These are my impressions after using two samples. I used it after Time R Aqua. It's moisturizing and hydrating. The texture is somewhere between a gel and a cream, and when you apply it to your skin and massage it in a few times, it turns into a lotion. I usually use Elixir Brightening, but this one is less sticky than the Elixir and gives a subtle, elegant glow, yet the moisturizing feeling lasts well. It's not that the Elixir is sticky, but rather the difference in the feel. I think this natural, sophisticated feel is what makes it IPSA. I'm surprised it doesn't have many stars. I think it's a great product.
I received samples a few times, but I wasn't sure how effective they were... I cleansed my skin immediately after coming home, then massaged it in after applying lotion, and it felt good as a transition before taking a bath, so I bought the full version. Lately, I've also been using it after applying lotion after a bath (I used to use Suqqu masks in the winter, but they're too heavy for this season). I feel like my skin has become softer. It's also good value for money!
