Review: The Skin Food Fresh Apple Sparkling Pore Line

*This is a post from my other blog which I'm intended to close. So before I close it, I'm transferring all my reviews to here*

I was kind of anticipated the release of this new skincare line targeting pore and oily skin which are my major skin problems.
So when they're released, I grabbed myself a toner, an emulsion, a serum and a smooth pore cream.
I've been using these for more than 2 weekstwice a day and here is my review. I was not paid to do this review. This is my honest opinion.

Price
1. Fresh Apple Sparkling Pore Toner - RM70.90
2. Fresh Apple Sparkling Pore Emulsion - RM70.90
3. Fresh Apple Sparkling Pore Serum - RM75.90
4. Fresh Apple Smooth Pore Cream - RM50.90



Main Ingredients:

Green Apple
Consist pectin and tannin. Pectin is fibre good in controlling sebum production and tightening pores. While tannin is an astringent good to normalize pore size and tighten inelastic skin. Green apple also consist high amount of Vitamin Cthat can act as antioxidant.

Cho Jung Carbonated Water
1. Also known as Mystic Water from Orient and is one of the best 3 mineral waters.
2. Originates from Cho Jung Li, Korea.
3. For skin hydration.

Texture, Color & How To Use

Toner
Texture and Color : Clear and watery
How To Use : After cleansing, pour into a cotton pad and wipe skin.




Emulsion
Texture and color : Clear and watery. Slightly richer than toner.
How to use: After toner, massage on face.
*This emulsion boggles my mind. I was expecting and opaque and slighly richer lotion. But it does hydrates my skin.*


Serum
Texture and color : Opaque and cream-like
How to use: After emulsion, massage on face.
*Just like Peach Sake line, this serum will give you matte finish, so must use after emulsion and contained Palmitoyl pentapeptide which is good forsmoothing wrinkles*



Smooth Pore Cream
Texture and color : same as serum but slightly richer.
How to use: Last step in skincare routine, before primer/BB cream
*this is not a cream, but a pore finish cream to gives silky and matte finish. Contained evermat*




Results
I used these 4 products alone, twice a day for more than 2 weeks and I did not mix with other products. And I did not edit any of the result pictures *honest!*and I used as best as I can the same lighting, camera and everything.

Cleanser ----> Apple Sparkling Toner ----> Apple Sparkling Emulsion ----> Apple Sparkling Serum ----> Apple Sparkling Smooth Pore Cream ----> Peach Sake BB Cream No 2 -(review here) ---> Black Egg Pore Finish Powder

Instant Result (upon application)

1. Bare face (no skincare)
2. After all 4 products of Apple Sparkling
3. After BB cream and loose powder

Up-close, I'm amazed at the instant pore concealing effect.


1. Bare face
2. After 4 products of Apple Sparkling
3 & 4. After makeup

Looking at my whole face pictures, there is not much of the differences except for my face have become more radiant and looks smoother.

After 2 Weeks


Both bare face.

Thumbs Up
1. Looking at my results, I'm amazed at how smooth and radiant my face has turned into. I'm very happy.
2. My makeup never stays this long. Whole 6-7 hours without blotting *trust me, this is an achievement for me*
3. No break outs*the breakouts are because I was sleeping with my makeup on for 2 days in a row. Don't do that*
4. Like I stated in no 2., my face has become 'normal'. Less oily than before
5. My pores have become LESS VISIBLE.

Thumbs Down
NONE. I'm a happy user. :)
Oh please, not for people with

Repurchasing
Definitely. This time, I planned to buy whole range. :) and see the overall effect.

    1. Hello..Sorry for the late reply. It has been a year since I left skincare industry so I'm a bit rusty here. In normal skincare series, serum acted as moisturizer, penetrate into our inner layer of the skin (dermis) as they size is smaller. Cream will act as a sealer to avoid the serum from evaporating out. But in this apple series, this serum is to be used AFTER cream as it has 'powder' to absorb oil from skin to give matte finish.
      If you are to choose only one product, I recommended you to buy Fresh Apple Sparkling Pore Cream (not in my review here). It does wonder. Hydrates and mattifying at the same time. My absolute favourite from this series. Hope this help you my dear.

  2. Hello, i got a few of the fresh apple lone, toner cream and peeling thingy, i might buy the rest of the product line since i read your review. An important question though, are all of this generally safe to use while pregnant? Im at 4 mos and would not want to do anything harmful for my baby.
