Review: I’m From Licorice Calming Cream

It has been raining quite a lot daily for the last couple of weeks, and days like this makes me so lazy to go out. The weather gave me more time to clean my room and I also found time to do a couple of product reviews. Today I will be talking about this new product from the Korean brand I'm From called the Licorice Calming Cream. Growing up, I've always been intrigued about licorice because I saw it as a flavor in those jelly belly gummies. Who would have thought it would also make a good skin care product?

This calming cream is a face cream that can be applied daily in the morning and at night. I usually use it in the morning after facial wash and toner, as it keeps my skin moisturized specially now that the weather is a bit colder. It doesn't have a scent, and it's also not too thick so it is very easy to apply and spread all over the face.

• calms sensitive and acne-prone skin
• tackle hyperpigmentation & acne scars
• leave skin fully moisturized and brightened

HOW TO USE:

Apply a moderate amount of the calming cream and gently pat unto skin. The calming cream is to be used as the last step of skincare routine.

Since this product claims to lighten acne scars, I am mostly using it in my jawline and cheeks because I am currently getting a lot of breakouts in this area, and it helps with my acne scars. I have not had any breakouts so far since I started using this product, which is a good sign. Hopefully it can fully lighten this area of my face because the acne scars are really obvious. I'll update this post after a month for a before and after comparison of the scars to see if it really works.

Also, this instant acne care product is currently on sale at Wishtrend for only $19.60, so now is really a good time to pick one and try it out since it is 30% off at the moment.
