Following my Sasa post, here is my review for this product.
I am nearing the end of one of my favourite products, Laneige's Water Sleeping Pack, and I liked the concept of an overnight mask, so I went looking into that direction for a new product. What attracted me to this one is the use of steam milk, which reminded me of steam cream, which is another product I'd like to try. I didn't have the opportunity yet because I want to finish other products.
How does it work? On top of your night time skincare routine, apply a generous amount of cream for overnight hydration effects. Summer might not be the best period to try it since my normal skin gets so oily, but when I tried it the weather was still pretty cool. The packaging is a small pot so not the most hygienice but I use the little plastic sample spoons they give away at Sephora (very practical for all cream pots, I always make sure to grab a few when I pass by).
The texture of the cream is similar to a thick yogurt (think greek yogurt maybe). It looks comfortable, with a soft baby powder smell, unfortunately upon application, it just sits on your skin. I didn't think much of it at first, since it's supposed to be absorbed overnight. However, by the time morning came it was still just sitting there. On my face. Which felt oh so greasy. Not the best feeling in the world.
By the end of the day, I had the worst case of overhydrated skin reaction since forever. I don't know if many people encoutered this, and I don't know if I really want to describe it, but it's not pretty. Basically my skin was telling me: not happy.
I didn't throw this away; I think it might be usable in case of extreme dehydration, maybe in winter after a week at a ski resort; I will give it another go if I have a chance. But for now, I will definitely store it away... And get another pot of Laneige's Water Sleeping pack. Why fix it when it's not broken?

The official pitch:
A steamed milk-infused cream that immediately melts into skin, transforming dry skin into a soft, firm, smooth texture, like a facial mask does.
[Steamed Milk Story]
When steamed, milk turns into a mound of microfine bubbles that are sustained with all the benefits milk has, and yet feels silkier and sogter to the touch.
*To Use
At the end of your daily skin care routine, apply an ample amound to the face with gentle strokes.
xoxo!
