The highlight of my #SkincareSaturday – new, upgraded 2016 HERA Cell Essence from #AmorePacific has finally launched!
And who better to adorn the benefits of its cell defining and moisture infusing qualities than Giana Jun (Jun Ji-Hyun) ?
HERA explains that “As we age, we experience a number of skin problems including dry, tight and rough skin with a gradual build up of dead skin cells. HERA carried out research on 129 Korean women and defined the core of these problems as Skin Desertification™. HERA CELL ESSENCE is a functional essence that prevents Skin Desertification while delivering moisture deep inside to leave skin clean, clear and flawless.”
Here’s my pre-2016 version, which I’ve been using religiously. I’m waiting for the upgraded bottle to arrive!
When you open the box, you will realize that HERA Cell Essence Cell-Bio Fluid Sync comes not only with the Cell Essence bottle, but a 30-day worth of double sided cotton pads! (Love!)
The MESH Pattern is used in helping remove dust and dead skin cells while the WAVE Pattern is used for a gentle, softer sweep.
Crowned as one of South Korea’s best skincare regimen, HERA boasts a loyal following from women in their late 20’s and 30’s. Its “mother” brand, Amore Pacific can be found at Beauty department stores, including Sephora, of course. Unlike Nature Republic, Faceshop, and other popular Korean brands, HERA is on the higher-end when it comes to price – about $75 US dollars for each essence bottle (30-day supply).
The bottle comes with a convenient measuring sign (dots!!), with each increment being 5 ml. The company recommends that you use 2.5 ml in the morning and at night, totaling 5 ml per day.
And here’s the HERA Makeup and Skincare CF ( commercial film / ad )with Giana Jun (Jun Ji-Hyun) in Seoul, South Korea! (Who knew a red turtle neck could look so good? Agree? )
If you are dealing with dry and bumpy skin, I highly recommend the HERA Cell Essence for its instant smoothing effects. It truly is one of the best, if not the most often recommended Toners from Korean Skincare product lines. Not only is this essence one of my all-time favorites in the category of must-have toner/essence, I think it trumps over the SK-II toner on many different levels, including price.
TIP: Store your essence in your refrigerator in the summer. Soak your cotton pads with the essence, then leave on your cheeks for 5-10 minutes. Not only does it give you a much needed moisturizing effect, it helps to tighten your pores and assists in ensuring that your makeup glides with that dewy, porcelain effect.
