Etude House Skin Malgem Smoother and Emulsion Review

We're back with Etude House's product, Skin Malgem! What we have here are both the Toner (Smoother) and the emulsion. Malgem is a korean word for cleanliness, clarity and pureness. And moreover, this product is endorsed by SHINee! (Picture Heavy!)

And this time we got ourselves the Skin Malgem's smoother. The bottle is not made up of glass, for whoever thought it was. It is made up from plastic and it has a very cute design!

(You can zoom the pictures by placing it on the new tab.)

It is the best to use the toner after washing your face. This toner also removes dead particle and bacterias as it is an exfoliation toner, so this one brightens up your complexion if you use it daily. Your face will feel very fresh, light, clean and moisturised! Simply use a cotton pad for this. Usually you will be given two free merchandise; the facial mask and the cotton pad.

Okay, first of all. This is one of the weirdest cotton pad we've ever seen. The texture itself is very rough and somewhat a fabric-texture. But after we drench the pad up it gets really smooth, smoother than your normal cotton pad you usually find from the drugstore.

Also, this is the facial mask which transforms from this little coin shape into a mask sheet. Sounds really weird, right? Maybe some of you know what that means.

This is the weird transformation:

This mask maintains the moisture in our skin and helps the skin to absorb the product better, much better than dabbing the cotton allover your face. We recommend to use this once or twice a week. It has a texture of a tissue sheet and it tears easily, so please handle it carefully!

Skin Malgem Emulsion is basically the matching moisturizer used for any five types of the toner. Use this after you apply the toner and it gives your skin a healthy glow. It will not clog pores since it is water-based. It is really thin so you won't feel anything so heavy and dense covering your skin in the morning. We recommend washing your face twice a day, once for dry-skin.

We promise you your skin will feel smoother, cleaner and whiter after a week! This apply to the normal skin types though. So please do buy the toner according to your skin type. Using the wrong types can cause really bad breakouts, so please! We recommend using 'fresh' for treating both blackheads and oily skin.
