New Skincare Innovation with Traditional Herbs ft. The Face Shop Yehwadam Serum & Snow Lotus Pearl Capsule Cream

Hello lovelies! Welcome back to my space :) I hope you guys enjoyed the Chinese New Year holidays, eating yourselves silly and spending time with family and friends. I definitely had my fair share of fun, but it's time to lose all the weight and start work, hahaha.

Amidst work and all that, I am always trying to take care of my skin, especially the crazy weather nowadays! It's been so hot these days, i just wanna stay at home :3 Hence, writing this blogpost and sharing with you guys a new favourite skincare range in town!

It is called the Yehwadam series by The Face Shop! The Face Shop needs no introduction; it is definitely one of the most prominent Korean brands, always innovating new products, endorsed by popular Korean celebrities & k-pop stars! Koreans are definitely well known for their top notch skincare quality, hence, i'm extra excited to try these products.


The concept & specialty of this Yehwadam is using traditional Korean herbs and flowers. The name Yehwadam in Korean means Yeh (herbs & plants) Wah (flowers) Dam (Story), so they are serious about using natural, plant-based ingredients!
 I'm all for great natural ingredients, as we all know that natural ingredients and less chemicals are best for our skin! Today I will share with you guys my experience with two products from this range, the Yehwadam Revitalizing Serum, and their special Snow Lotus Pearl Capsule Cream (with pearl-sized capsules in the cream, so i was so excited to try it out!!) .



1) YEHWADAM REVITALIZING SERUM 45ml (RM208.90)



The packaging feels luxurious with traditional korean art details. Serums are usually on the pricier side because they are made up of smaller molecules that can penetrate deeply into the skin and deliver a high concentration of active ingredients. Hence, I think the price is value for money for 45ml! 

The main ingredients:-
1) Ginseng, for skin revitalisation and for younger looking skin
2) Safflower, for energised skin & to improve skin tone & complexion
3) Goji Berry, for radiant and glowing skin




Yehwadam Serum also features to remove puffy face and red areas with the Honeysuckle Flower Extract. The texture feels glue-like dewy and concentrated on the fingers, but when applied on the face, it does not leave a sticky residue and immediately leaves my skin plump and vibrant. With its herbs and flowers, this serum boasts to give anti-aging effects and its main function is to prevent wrinkles. Yay!


Here's my skin after applying the Yehwadam Revitalizing Serum :) Definitely feels good, and smells very floral too! Next, I shall apply the Yehwadam Snow Lotus Pearl Capsule Cream! Super excited!!

2) YEHWADAM SNOW LOTUS PEARL CAPSULE CREAM (RM257.90)


This is one of the most interesting innovations in the market! This is because, this cream contains white pearls & snow lotus ingredients encapsulated in pearl capsule forms!!!



One of the reasons it is made into a capsule is to minimise the amount of time in contact with air, so that it does not oxidise/ get contaminated by air, maximising the quality of the ingredients in the capsule to be absorbed into the skin. 
The pearl capsules are infused with snow lotus, pearls, and collagen for instant brightening effect, caring for blemish marks, and super moisturising! It also has anti-wrinkle functions , making skin cells younger and firmer.


Here's to show you how to apply the product : 

Take 3-4 pearls if you're using it as a moisturise, or you could add just 1-2 pearls to mix with your foundation for a nice instant brightening and glowing skin!
I'm trying it as my sole moisturiser today, so I took 3 pearls together with the cream. 



Here's how it looks like after I crushed the pearls with the spatula, and i'm about to apply it on my face!


It looks like I'm applying a mask, hehe! Super nourishing and hydrating! Although I didn't get to crush the pearls completely (as you can see the residue on my face), but as I massage them on my face, it completely absorbs into my skin. Look at the finish on my skin:-



My skin immediately glows! Definitely gives an instant brightening effect which i love!!
If you are looking for a skincare product which gives an instant glow & great brightening effect with a pack of moisture, I highly recommend this one! <3 

All in all, I really feel that this Yehwadam range is definitely worth trying! Using great herbs and flowers with such great results instantly, it seems like a great investment! For the pearl capsule cream, although may be slightly pricey, but in my opinion, it does not need to be used daily. It definitely acts like an extra supplement to the skin, and could be used as frequent as a mask (maybe a few days a week or less). My personal favourite is definitely the Pearl Capsule Cream, for the instant effect and pearl capsules! Definitely recommending you guys to check them out yourselves!
