I have been using the Missha Time Revolution Artemisia Calming for a while and it is really good, but then after sometime i thought of giving a chance to use the Red Algae Revitalizing cream with its 50% Irish Moss Extract.
My skin type: dry and sensitive
Missha Time Revolution Red Algae Revitalizing Cream is a moisturizing cream which strengthens the skin’s natural barrier during stress and helps retain moisture for longer.
This Missha product is focused on „Red Algae“.
Red algae are packed with antioxidant energy that relieves stress and nourishes the skin with minerals and protein from the sea to protect skin from harmful external factors.
How does Missha increased the effectivity of the cream?

Product texture and smell:
It has a mild flower/fruit fragrance and the texture is light cream. The color is light pink.
How i use the product:
At the end of my skin care routine at night, i apply an approximately amount on my face.
Pros of using the product:
The cream is really light but it does its job. You can spread it easily in your face. It has a mild scent that i wish it shouldn’t have but it does not irritate my skin. But for others, they liked the mild scent. It moisturizes my skin which helps locking in the other skin care products i used. In the morning after, my skin is good hydrated and soft. From the fermented ingredients above, it helps lighten up hyperpigmentation. During Winter time, i will not use this alone as i guess it will maximize its benefits when using with a good essence and serum. Between this Red Algae and Artemisia Time Revolution, both of them are great products. It is just a matter of your own like. If you have the budget try it both.
Cons:
A bit pricey.
Will i recommend using this product? Yes 🙂
A Happy Place
