This is a product review for Obiqo. I was sent their Gentle Face Wash and Intensive Facial Serum for review.
All views are 100% my own.
I enjoy trying skincare and cosmetics from around the world. I believe fabulous products can be found everywhere and are not limited to one place. A representative from Obiqo contacted me, and asked if I would like to try a couple of their skincare products. Obiqo is made in New Zealand. I've never tried anything from New Zealand before! HaHaHa Plus, it's a sea-inspired skincare range, is against animal testing, doesn't use artificial colors and believes in recyclable packaging. So sure! I decided to try their Gentle Face Wash and Intensive Facial Serum. Here's my review.
Sweet-Bittersweet-NotSweet
supersweet(run & buy it) sweet(really good,buy it) bittersweet(ok, issues)not sweet(not good,don't buy this stuff)
Obiqo Gentle Face Wash - Sweet
This clear, liquid gel, face wash comes in a flip-top squeezable tube and I must say smells really good. It's refreshing. It's crisp. It's rain on a tropical island. It boasts sea kelp, anti-oxidant sea lavender, camomile, cooling cucumber and aloe vera. When you wash your face, it foams up! It's very moisturizing, but not heavy. Your skin feels soft afterwards. It removed my makeup with no problem. I have dry/sensitive skin and the two weeks I used it, I experienced no adverse reaction. My skin also felt plump after using it. No dryness, but I did feel like I needed a little extra moisture after using it (I have really dry skin). So I applied the serum.
Obiqo Intensive Facial Serum- Sweet
The facial serum is milky white in color and comes in an easy dispensable pump. I didn't detect a scent (fragrance) with this product. It smells clean. When applied, your skin feels super soft and firm. The texture of your skin will feel fabulous. Again, no dryness but I felt I needed a third step, like their day or night cream. If you have really dry skin (like mine), I would add their day or night cream to the regimen (3 step process, instead of a 2 step process). I experienced no adverse reaction while using the serum. It felt really good.

Sounds interesting, but I have two questions...
ReplyDeleteCould you share the full list of ingredients, please? (they don't seem to show them anywhere - just the usual blah-blah it's magic..)
And also they keep talking about marine extracts/fisheries? Are those extracts purely plant-based? Or shellfish also? (because many collagen & co based products do contain shellfish and can't be used by vegetarians/vegans and those allergic to shellfish)...
Happy Easter, Kim! And have a wonderful day! x
as usual, the perfect review! Good luck to everyone for the giveaway!

This sounds good, I am still trying to get that Aveeno brighting cream went to three stores, but I tried some retinol and brighting cream from a line I had not heard of before. May post about it.

I dont know how my skin would be if I used a serum, since it is oily, but I really want to try some! Maybe this is a good one to try, but I think it will be a bit difficult to find this product where I live D:

Looks so good doll, i love it. Good luck to everyone entering :)))) xx
ReplyDeleteThese two products sound very rejuvenating, maybe perfect for summer as they seem light. My skin is like yours, Kim. Dry and hard to please, nothing seems to be hydrating enough (I start thinking perhaps I need to take supplements for skin).
ReplyDeletesounds great!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant review my dear :) xx

Interesting review Kim! I also have sensitive skin and I know how hard it is to get good products for skin care.

thanks for the review. i have super dry skin and would need that 3rd step, too :)
ReplyDeleteIt seems interesting. But I think winning would be the best chance at trying if there's a dry out possibility. I have like oily summer skin, and SUPER dry winter skin. Never an inbetween.
