Ohui the First Essence: short rambling

Intro to Ohui The First line:






OHUI’s top premium skincare created with state-of-the-art bio-science technology
StemSP, which stimulates the skin’s mother cells, has been developed to rejuvenate the skin.
OHUI The First, a basic skin care line by OHUI, turns aged skin like that of a baby by stimulating the skin’s mother cells. They contain key ingredients that rejuvenate the skin, including stemSP, which is structured similarly to human growth hormones, and Pycnogenol.


A key ingredient of OHUI The First is stemSP, which is a protein that stimulates the skin’s mother cells. Although the skin has only 3% stemSP, it is important in stimulating the skin’s stem cells, which form 90% of the skin.

StemSP plays a critical role in maintaining the skin’s homeostasis and metabolism and helps the skin restore its health and youth on its own.

In addition, OHUI The First contains Pycnogenol, one of the world’s top three natural antioxidants. Extracted from pine bark indigenous to the pristine French coastal region, it is an antioxidant known to be ten times more effective than vitamin E.


Today i'm gonna ramble on one of the products in this line, which i think is the main core product of the entire line:

OHUI THE FIRST CELL REVOLUTION ESSENCE

Unfortunately i do not have the ingredients list but this item contains the revolutionary rHSCP (recombinant Human Stem Cell Protein). It is combined with skin metabolism stimulants like EGF and FGF to increase density and elasticity to aging areas. The highly enriched essence tightly pulls together skin texture to help skin quickly returns to its young and healthy state.


At first i did not care for the texture of the essence, after a few hours or so, i felt my face getting slight oiliness.

However, on first use i could feel a difference in my skin texture already. I put in on the first night and the next morning, my skin felt smooth to the touch! No irritation whatsoever.
I stopped using it after a few trials, because i felt it didn't do much for my skin. Skin did not brighten it still look a tad dull, skin did not plump up like while i was using the Whoo's Hwanyugo, skin was just normal looking. The only positive factor seemed to be no irritation and skin was smooth to the touch. However, you  can't tell the smoothness unless you feel/touch the skin.

Then i started breaking out all over my jaw line and chin. The breakout even started spreading to my cheeks. I've never had much of a break out, maybe occasionally but never with this continuous non-stop jaw line acne. It was painful and irritating and nothing seemed to work on it, not the benzoyl peroxides, not the BHA or AHAs.... nothing. They just pop out one after another. It was ugly.

I didn't know what's gotten into my face that cause the onslaught of acne and it was so sudden it took me by surprise. It also upset me a lot because i've never faced with so much acne before. It was terrifying.
I tried every single cream/serum/ etc in my possession for acne and in desperation i reached for Ohui's The First essence as my very last try before i go to a dermatologist. I slapped in on my face and my jaw line at night, it calmed the irritating acne and it didn't itch that much.

The next morning when i woke up, i was astounded. My jaw line acne has not only calmed down, in fact it has stopped erupting, stopped growing. I was so excited and continued with the essence for up to 5nights. To my amazement, my existing acne flattened out, each and every one of them, they turned brown and is no longer red or filled with pus. I also didn't have any new acne forming nor popping out! hurray! my nightmare is over!!

My skin has calmed down within 1 week of use of the essence. This stuff is amazing . PERIOD. Now it's back to my normal skin again albeit still with the sensitivities. At least i don't have that horrendous onslaught of acne anymore.

You've gotta try this, and to every female (and males too!) suffering from some sort of acne, get this!! it's a MUST! not a must try, but a MUST HAVE!

Small warning though: it can be a little tacky in humid hot weather and it made my skin oily after some time, but the pros far outweigh the cons!! that's why i only use it at night.

Rating: 10/10!!

Gmarket haul 13

Time for another haul?
haha, too many hauls. Maybe it's coming year end and the festive mood is around the corner.
Aaargh, i'm actually lagging in posting up my hauls............i have been very busy and keep delaying my haul posts. So this haul is not as current/recent as it should be, probably two weeks or even more in backlog.


EMs box, one sturdy one this time, no crushes visible.
Always excited when a box like this arrives, like a child all tingly and happy opening a surprise present!


What's inside? Oh, a whole load of stuff and more~~
I decided to plunge into Ohui for the time being and got their The First series. Have seen plenty of good reviews on this range and am tempted to try it out too. Got some samples from the range.



The First cell revolution eye cream, sachets:



The First cell revolution essence:



The First Cell revolution night serum:



The First Cell Revolution Cream:


The cream is rather thick with a yellow tint to it:
I find the First series a rather thick consistency. The eye cream and cream feels the same; both are thick and a little difficult to spread. Even the essence is of the same consistency. The only one that feels different is the night serum. The night serum is like a liquid serum with a slightly brown tint. This one is much easier to spread and feels good on skin, very moisturising. Nice.


Some samples from the seller:




More from History of Whoo:
This time it is the History of whoo Hwa Hyun set. I am in love with the Hwanyu series however, it is beyond my scope to maintain in my skin care. It is expensive and difficult to obtain. So i'm trying out the Hwa Hyun series to see if it can sort of "replace" the prestigious Hwanyu series.


3 piece inside: 8ml essence, 10ml eye cream, and 10ml face cream. Aren't the bottles a joy to behold? They look so elegant and beautiful.




The Hwa hyun Cream: Thick in consistency almost like a paste.



The Hwa hyun eye cream: wow, can you see the glitters in this?? it looks exotic.


The Hwa Hyun Essence: easy to spread and highly moisturising.



It comes with a little envelope-like booklet :


With english description for each item in the range.


Instructions on product usage:




Ohui's quite recent launch: Black serum.

"Every moment of every day our skin cells are attacked by excessive free radicals produced in out skin by various environmental irritants such as UV light, air pollution, stress etc. Ohui black serum eliminates such harmful free radicals , prevents damage to skin cells and actively heads off the skin-aging process."

Sounds very promising indeed! will give this a go once i'm done with the cell power no. 1 essence.

The colour of this is black! it's a black serum.



Re:nk stuff!!


First off, the UV perfect daily suncream spf 35pa+



A white suncream. Unfortunately it caused a reaction on my sensitive skin so alas, this doesn't work for me.


Silky fit essential bb cream spf 30 Pa++. such a small tube.


The swatch. Looks light but once blended in you can't detect anything! it's too sheer. A no-no for me.



Re:nk's star cell luminous real white serum:


White serum, easy to spread and moisturises well. Not bad.



Re:nk's wrinkle time lab line:
Time lab wrinkle energy eye revitalizer



Time lab wrinkle energy cream:



Time lab wrinkle energy serum.



Re:nk cell luminous spot corrector.


It's weird that the spot corrector feels and looks exactly the same as the luminous serum. It's so similar i cannot tell difference once poured into the hand. I wonder if a mistake has been made and the spot corrector is actually the luminous serum wrongly packed in the spot corrector packaging ??



Some samples given by the seller:


also bought some of IOPE's hydro intensive mask sheets.


Have you tried Re:nk? what are your thoughts on this line?
