We saw the glass skin trend surge last year, but personally, I always want my skin to appear glossy, poreless and almost reflective. The trend is born out of Korean skin care, which makes Medicube, a top Korean skin-care brand, the perfect place to turn to for glass skin. While trying Medicube Triple Deep Erasing Cream, which is mainly advertised as a wrinkle-reducer, I noticed the glassy skin effect immediately.
The Benefits:
The main event here is the cream’s power to reverse signs of aging. The formula aims to improve pore appearance, skin elasticity and dark spots. A clinical trial conducted by the Korea Institute of Dermatological Studies found that in three weeks, the appearance of wrinkles was reduced. In two weeks, pores appeared tighter.
I found that simply applying the product muted my forehead wrinkles through the plumping effect of the formula. My skin immediately took on a sheen after applying the product, even leading my boyfriend to ask if I was testing a new highlighter. Hydrated, healthy, glowing skin are some of the short-term benefits. After a few weeks, you’ll start seeing even more improvement.
My Skin Type:
I have fairly sensitive skin prone to rosacea and keratosis pilaris. This product didn’t irritate my skin and actually made it feel quite velvety to the touch. My skin is on the drier side, so this level of hydration is ideal for me.
Key Ingredients:
Premium elastin from France, collagen, hyaluronic acid, enantia chlorantha bark extract and olive leaf extract
Price/Where to Buy:
$43, medicube.us
