Here I am still on Rohto corner. The past several months I've been trying products from Rohto. This brand offers various cosmetic products with good quality ingredients and affordable price. I already post about some products in their Face On Face line days ago, and then previously I write update about their sunscreen. And this time I'll talk about their skincare line.
Now it’s for me to share another first impression about a
face cream I recently tried. As u know, now I always intrigued to try any
products that has ‘Natural’ word in it. Well, I want to maintain my life better
by using as much as Natural products in my daily routine as possible. For rice
example, I pick the organic one. For face serum, I also use product with
organic ingredients in it. When I know that Mentholatum Acnes launched its
Natural Care line, I really intrigued to try it.
Scanned front carton box
I saw this product when walking in Hypermart. The price is
affordable so there is no reason for me not to grab it. It was on discount, I
only paid IDR 25,853 from normal price 28,725.

I have oily combination skin so I have to pick something
with light texture and oil control and I thought this product has both in its
claim.
How the cream looks like
Texture :
It’s like milky colored gel-like textured cream. It’s not
runny in consistency but it’s lightweight. It takes only little time to absorbs
into my skin, very fast compared to most moisturizer I ever tried. It leaves
matte-like finish and non greasy. It has fresh smell.
Don’t get it wrong, even if I say this cream has good oil
control, it’s also do good job in moisturizing my skin thanks to Hyaluronic
Acid inside it. This cream does not have SPF so if u’re going outside, layer it
with sun screen. I now use Rohto’s SKIN AQUA for my daily sun screen. Sometimes
I layer it with BB Cream that already has SPF and PA inside. It’s good to be
used prior to make up because it has good oil control, so It could make the
coverage of my BB Cream/ foundation stays longer.
So here what I can say :
Pros :
- Affordable price and easy to find on many drugstore or
supermarket in where I live
- lightweight and easy to absorbed
- the smell is okay, not disturbing one
- decent oil control
- non greasy
- did it job well in moisturizing my skin
- tube packaging, easy to control the outcome of the product
- Has many herbal/ plants (natural) ingredients in it
- helps to mattify the skin (for oily skin this is good
advantage)
- if used under make up, it could make BB Cream or
foundation lasts longer in me because of its good oil control
Cons :
- perfumed
- the herbal extracts/ natural ingredients are on the lower
list
- Not really suit skin in sensitive mode
- Isononyl Isonanoate on the 5th top ingredients
list so it has potential in clogging pores
- propylene glycol and various preservatives
Actually it’s a decent product for certain types of skin. So
I would recommend this cream for anyone with criteria below.
Who may like it :
- combination and total oily skin
- skin is not in the sensitive mode
- skin which not in acne prone mode
- want a good oil control cream which also moisturizing one
- want a lightweight cream which fast absorbed
- want a lightening/ brightening cream
It has some soothing properties in the ingredients but it
also contains the harsh ones. So, it’s kinda made me little confuse. If they
want this cream to give soothing and calming function, they should minimize
potential irritants inside it. The potential irritant has made other good soothing/
calming ingredients becomes less or even no use… >.< I’ve proven it on my
own skin.
I only tried this cream about less than two weeks usually in
the morning only, so I could not say much about the long term effect. It’s not
every day I use it, sometimes I ceased the use when I have acne. I have my
other fave moisturizer and serum that I use more often than this cream.
Repurchase ? No. I only could use it when my skin is at
normal mode, with no acne and sensitive signs. I want more gentle product than
this one.
So, what do u think, girls? Are u using anything from Acnes
or other Rohto’s brands? Share ur experience on the comment below, until then
see ya on my next post : )
Don’t worry, be happy n stay pretty : )
