Pre skincare. Let's fix that, shall we? |
Step 1 - Cream foam cleanser. No photo as this looked like your average creamy, foamy cleanser. You need very little to get a good foam out of this. I used the entire packet and it may have been a bit much as it was hard for me to get a nice foam initially. My face felt SQUEAKY clean afterward, but also tight and dry. Scent was a very typical, clean skincare smell. Pretty and clean. Not super pleased about that, but let's move on.
Step 2 - Ampoule
The ampoule was awesome. A runny gel that absorbed into skin soon after application. Skin was left with a bit of tack, but nothing that was uncomfortable or I felt would hinder the remaining products. Just as the cleanser, this also shared in that skincare, clean smell.
Step 3 - Mask
Hydrogel mask, how much do I love thee...let me count the ways. Alright, let me calm down. 5 Steps has a great 2 piece hydrogel mask as step 3. For my face shape (wide face and big eyes usually make for not fun mask wearing sessions) this mask was a win. The 2 piece made it easy to maneuver the mask in place to best suit my needs. The hydrogel is SUPER thin, which is comfortable in the wear category, but tears easily when trying to place it. I wore this for 30 minutes with no dripping and only slight drying. There was a nice amount of essence left in the bag which I quickly used on my arms and decolletage. After wear, skin was left brighter and oh so smooth. I also noticed the redness I had subsided. The added effect of the hydrogel is that is immensely cooling. Slight amount of tack left after wear. This will definitely be in my summertime mask arsenal.
Step 4 - Facial Cream.
As the fourth step, the facial cream sealed in all the work we had previously done. The texture was somewhere between thin and thick, moisturizing with a decent amount of slip. Once I had blended it into my skin and let it soak for a sec, I then felt how soft my skin felt. Felt like a basic cream, but was left with rather awesome results. *the next morning, woke up to plump and softer skin. No additional oiliness to report.*
Step 5 - Neck Cream
Same texture as the facial cream and same moisture giving formula. Easy to blend, quick to absorb and left my neck feeling supple. This did leave behind a residue that I patted off. With one use, it is hard to see results, but I did appreciate what moisture it imparted.
Results:
Verdict: For convenience, you can't beat this. All basic steps you need to address most of your skins needs in one packet. For those wanting to start a multi-step skincare regimen, you will want to start here! Everything was pretty easy to use and left me with bright, soft skin. What else could you ask for? I give this a 6/10.
