Every time you go on any social media, there is a new viral product gracing the algorithm.
With big brand pushes and influencers showing us the next big product we should be using, it can often become overwhelming and hard to navigate what each product really does.
But here at Team VIP, we are here to help explain what these viral products really do and whether or not they might be suitable for you before diving in and purchasing.
Medi Cube Pore Pads – €30
We’re not sure about you, but these Medi Cube Pore Pads have been flooding our social media, with creators raving about their effects. And just as we were about to click Add to Cart, we found we didn’t really know what these effects were and the ingredients found in them.
These pore pads are a pre-soaked toner that are made to exfoliate the skin and help minimise the appearance of pores.
They have a blend of AHA, BHA and PHA, which help the exfoliation process by removing all the dead skin cells that clog your pores. By the removal of these dead skin cells, it can help improve our skin’s texture for a smoother and brighter skin to rejuvenate our skin back to life.
Not only that, but they include Anti Sebum P to help regulate the oil production in our skin and can also reduce blackheads developing.
What’s great about these toner pads is that they can be used daily to help keep that skin looking fresh and bright!
L’Oréal Hydrogel Glass Skin Mask – €20.99
Glass skin has been a huge beauty trend for the last while, with creators showing off different skin care routines. But L’Oréal Paris has created their own line of glass skin products, meaning you don’t need a collection of products to create this look.
The glass skin refers to smooth, glossy skin that many say resembles a glazed doughnut, and this Hydrogel Mask by L’Oréal does just that. But how exactly does a 90-minute mask create this look?
Inspired by Korean skin care, the mask contains hyaluronic acid that helps to plump dull skin, with glycerin acting as a moisture magnet to really lock in that hydration. The mask also includes Adenosine that makes skin appear smooth.
After 90 minutes, this mask goes clear, which shows the absorption of these ingredients into the skin.
While the long term affects of this mask are yet to be seen, it cannot be denied that it does give you that glow, perfect to pop on as prep for a night out.
Beauty of Joseon Eye Patches – €19.21
Eye patches have been in the beauty industry for a number of years now, and these Korean beauty eye patches are really having their moment. But what makes them so different to others, and why have they gone viral?
These patches contain ginseng and pearl extract that help to boost circulation under the eyes and help to get rid of that tired look in return for more well-rested and bright eyes.
The retinol in these patches helps to firm the skin and can help improve skin elasticity and reduce wrinkles, with reports that these eye wrinkles reduce by 20 per cent in two weeks.
In just 20 minutes, these Korean eye patches can have that tired look gone!
Byoma Hydrating Milky Toner – €14
There has been a shift from the regular toners that we are used to, to a more moisturising toner, known as milky toner, with the Byoma hydrating milk topping the toner beauty charts.
This toner, like others, has a formula that helps balance our skin PH levels, but also includes hydrating ingredients to help moisturise the skin. This milky toner also includes a Barrier Liquid Complex to strengthen the skin barrier, with Cica and polgumatic that reduces the acid in our skin.
With this toner, you are getting all the benefits of the traditional toner, but with hydrating benefits.
Ouai Detox Shampoo – €32
This Ouai Australia Detox Shampoo has been taking the hair care industry by storm. As we are exfoliating our skin, we have started to exfoliate our hair too in an attempt to have a full cleanse.
This Ouai shampoo removes all those stubborn hair products we use, like gel and dry shampoo, to give your hair that lightweight feel and be clean and fresh.
The shampoo contains a mineral removal chelating agent, which helps to break down harsh water deposits that can be left in our hair from unfiltered water.
Along with that, the apple cider vinegar exfoliates the scalp to free it from all the dead and flaky cells.
