Review: Atomy Evening Care 4 Set

Hello! 
My first review on this blog will be on the Atomy Evening Care 4 Set~



I actually started using it because my mother constantly raved about how amazing it was to me ^^; 
I was a bit skeptical because I had never heard of it before, but I did notice that her skin quality had improved dramatically. Her complexion is smooth, fair, and young in comparison to the dull, freckly skin she had a month or so ago. And so, I decided to conduct some research!

Originating from Korea, the Atomy Skincare Line has been broadcasted on MBC, KBS, SBS, and YTN! It is claimed as a "miracle" skincare line and has cured acne for many people, both female and male ; u ; 

Now, without further ado, let's get to my review~

Price: 
$70 

Pros:
♥ Made with all natural ingredients
♥ Inexpensive (for a luxury line)
♥ Anti-aging/anti-wrinkle
♥ Whitening
♥ Gentle

Cons: 
★ Has a very slight medicinal smell (I personally like it, though)
★ Purchaseable only online or through a dealer
★ Doesn't include directions

Ingredients:
Please read here

The packaging is a 150 mL standard flip-top squeeze tube. The shelf life is 2 years.


Because Atomy doesn't include directions in their products, I will show you how to use them for any future Atomy users ^^

Step 1: Evening Care Deep Cleansing (daily evening)
Atomy's Evening Care Deep Cleansing is a cleansing cream, and for anyone unfamiliar with cleansing creams, you basically apply the cream as you would with a normal facial cream (onto dry skin), massage for a minute or so, and then wipe away with a tissue. This particular cleansing cream is designed to lift off makeup and other residue effortlessly~ 
I was painting today, and got some stubborn watercolor on my finger so I decided to demonstrate!

Before
Paint melting off!
All clean~
Step 2: Evening Care Foam Cleansing (daily morning+evening)
I think no direction is necessary, as (I hope) all of us clean our faces daily with a cleanser ^^; This foam cleanser is no different. Just use a pea-sized amount, rub between your hands (foaming net, brush, whatever you'd like), massage onto wet face, and rinse. One thing I'd like to say is that, because Atomy's Morning 6 set does not include a cleanser, I use this in the morning as well. I find it comfortable to use both in the morning and evening as it does not irritate my facial eczema~

Step 3: Evening Care Peeling Gel (1-2x a wk for dry skin or 3-4x a wk for oily skin)
Atomy's Peeling Gel is like any other peeling gel on the market. You apply a thin layer onto your dry face, wait 1-2 minutes, and then massage. After a few seconds of massaging, you should feel tiny little balls forming underneath your fingers. These are your dead skin cells!! After you feel like you've rubbed off all your dead skin cells, you can rinse with warm water. Even though I have dry skin, I use this every other day as recommended for oily skin because I absolutely love the result! My skin is brighter, smoother, and softer with every use. I also admit that it's sort of fun to see your skin cells (though it is super gross x_x hehe...)

During massage (ew >:)
After rinsing
Step 4: Evening Care Peel Off Mask (1-2x a wk for dry skin or 3-4x a wk for oily skin)
Last but not least, the Peel Off Mask! I'm not a fan of the application of this as the consistency is very similar to Elmer's glue (probably a lot thicker and stickier...) so I only use this 1-2x a week as recommended for my skin type e u e; Basically, you spread a thick layer all over your dry face and wait for it to dry. Once it's dried into a flimsy rubber thing, you're able to peel it off. I try to peel it off in one piece because it's fun haha ; u ; I don't really see a difference after using this mask, but I still use it just because.. c':

Application (in a heart for you ♥)
Peel (looks sort of like chewing gum haha--)
Overall, I give the Atomy Evening 4 Set a:★★★★★ 5/5 stars!

I'm in love with this set to be honest! My complexion has improved SO much, I can step out without BB cream without feeling insecure~ I have a lot of redness with blushing, acne, and eczema but this set has magically evened out my skin. I don't think I'll ever go back to any other skin care products (with the exception of sheet masks maybe...) and I recommend this to everyone ♥ If you do decide to try this set out, I hope it works just as well as it did for me c:

I apologize this post was really wordy and boring x_x I guess I'm not really good at keeping people interested/entertained orz; However, if you're still reading, then thank-you sooooooo much ; A ; ♥ ♥ ♥ 

Well, that's it for now! See you xoxo
