NEOGEN X JOAN KIM Collab: Vita Duo Cream Joan Day Joan Night

Par



When I first started getting into skincare, Joan Kim was one of my go-to skinfluencer for recommendations and product reviews. In 2018, Joan teamed up with Neogen to create a day and night cream that I was very impatient to get my hand on it. However, It took me some time before I could buy it but let me tell you that the wait was worth it!


Neogen Vita Duo Joan Day Joan Night cream comes in a cute mint green jar with two separate 50g containers for both the night and day cream. My favorite part was the spatula as you don’t need to use your fingers to scoop the cream. (Hygiene Freak Alert!)

Joan Day Vita Cream is a morning moisturizing cream that claims it has great soothing and brightening effects on the skin as it contains green tea and vitamin C. It is also described as the perfect prep for makeup.

As the last part of my morning routine, I would apply a coin-sized amount into my face and massage it slightly for better absorption. This tea-green moisturizer has a cream-cheese-like texture that one would believe to be heavy on the skin but surprisingly it is easily absorbed and very moisturizing. After few weeks of continuous use, I noticed that my skin looked a lot brighter than before.

Joan Night Vita Cream is a night cream that claims it has the same benefits as a sleeping cream and that it can soothe and strengthen the skin thanks to ingredients like lavender oil and vitamin E.

After my serum, I apply a generous amount to my face and neck before going to bed. This lilac cream has a light gel formula that absorbs easily and a relaxing lavender smell that helped me sleep better. However, for someone with dry skin, I found it lacking in the moisturizing department as it felt a little bit too light on my skin.


TBH, I wouldn’t repurchase the Duo Cream ever again since Neogen came out with a separate version of both creams in 2021 YAAAY!  

Disclaimer: The Joan Night Vita Cream is not recommend if your skin reacts badly to essential oils. 

I will leave you with the ingredients list until next time. 


Have a great skin day everyone!

The "Duo" that saved my dry skin this last winter !

Throughout my teens, the only step I could spare my skin was cleansing twice a day. I always thought that having dry skin was a great convenience as it allowed me to enjoy a pimples-free skin as a teenager.  But as soon as I entered my mid-twenties, my skin started getting rough, tight, flaky and itchy. And it gets worst every winter which means it was time for me to step up my skincare game.  During this year's quest for hydrating skincare products, I came across the Goodal Green Tangerine Honey Moist Serum (50ml) + Ampoule Pack (30ml).  The Goodal Green Tangerine Honey Moist Serum is a highly nourishing and hydrating serum enriched with Jeju green tangerine and Canola honey to give the skin long-lasting hydration. This serum protects the skin from free radicals as it is rich with antioxidants (Argan oil and  Curcuma Longa Root Extract) and bioflavonoids derived from Green Tangerine.  After the toner, I would apply 2 pumps of the serum to my face and neck before

Vitamin C : The OG game-changer in skincare

If you are new to skincare, you have probably come across a few products that use Vitamin C as their main ingredient.  Vitamin C was discovered in 1930 and since then became one of the most well-researched and loved skincare ingredients. It is a superstar component that works as an antioxidant, anti-aging, and brightening nutrient.  Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin that if formulated properly will work as an excellent antioxidant as it protects the skin from free radicals that cause DNA damage to our skin layers. It works as a great protective factor into UV rays if used under a sunscreen since it is found that it boosts the UV protection. It also improves the production of collagen in the skin, speeds up the wound healing process, and helps fade pigmentation and dark spots.    Normal skin contains a high concentration level of Vitamin C but it gets lower in aged or photodamaged skin. It has been reported that excessive exposure to oxidant stress via  pollutant

The 7 Skin Method with Innisfree Ginger Honey Ampoule Skin

In 2017, the "7 Skin Method" went viral as the Korean beauty started getting more recognition in the west. The "7 Skin Method" is to apply your toner or watery essence to your face multiple times (up to seven times) to have hydrated and dewy skin. It is called 7 Skin Method since in Korea toners are usually called "skins".  I have been personally following the 7 skin method for a few years now and I highly recommend it for anyone struggling with dry skin as it will give your skin the hydration boost it needs especially during wintertime.  For this year's winter season, I used the Innisfree Ginger Honey Ampoule Skin for my 7 Skin Method as it claims that it can be applied once as a toner that quickly penetrates the skin and twice or more as an ampoule with a deep no urishing effect which is just perfect for the harsh weather in winter.  The Innisfree Ginger Honey Ampoule Skin is formulated with Gi-ney™ Complex, an Innisfree patent formula that
