Challans De Paris Memoria is the wrinkle/anti-aging line of this luxurious K-beauty brand. Everything in this line boosts luxury – from the beautiful box casings, glass bottles and of course, top of the line quality ingredients.











This toner contains Niacinamide, a water soluble vitamin that works to visibly improve enlarged pores, fine lines and wrinkles. It also refines dull skin and uneven skin tone.

My skin drinks up this toner like water. One of the things that I like about it is its ability to immediately refresh my skin after cleansing. The cold weather is drying me skin and this toner provides a soothing relief to it.




This essence has a consistency of a light weight lotion. It is also scented like the crème (perfume is one of its ingredients) however, the scent is not as strong and definitely more mellow. As an essence, I like that it, it gives an extra boost of moisture into my skin. It also layers well with Challans de Paris Crème.
The only flaw perhaps is the bottle. The essence is not a flowing liquid, hence, it is hard to dispense the product from the heavy glass bottle. It needs to be tapped up-side down several times for the product to come out.






Let me start first with what I live with this crème: it is light weight, it sink in beautifully in my skin and in terms of moisturizing effect, it is perfect. It doesn’t leave my skin feeling greasy and sticky after applying it. It dries to a smooth finish. Now, what I am on the fence with this is the strong scent. It actually smells good – but it is strong and it takes a while to mellow down. So here is the thing – if scents do not bother you then go for it! It is a beautiful moisturizer!

Aperire Super Origin


Coming from the Elasticity Line of Aperire, the Miracle Day and Bouncing Cream contains 81% root extracts. Called as the Root Cureflex – this is a combination of the words, Root + Cure + Complex – Aperire believes that “the source of life, the solution of healthy youth found in the roots” (sic).

The root components are from Yam, Lotus, Taro, Saururus Chinesis and Dandelion.
Yam Root – Rich in phytomucin and amino acids.
Lotus Root – Brightens the skin and improves elasticity.
Taro – Strengthens skin’s elasticity and skin barrier. It also brightens the complexion of the skin.
Saururus Chinesis Root – Smoothens the skin. It also improves the firmness of the skin.
Dandelion Root – Whitens and brightens the skin by suppressing the production of melanin.
Peony Root – Works as a natural preservative. It is also soothes inflamed skin.



There are two products under this line: the Miracle Day Root Essence and the Bouncing Root Cream. Both products are for improvement of the skin’s elasticity, texture as well anti-aging and brightening effects.




This essence has a very this and fluid consistency. In fact, it is almost similar to a toner. It barely has any detectable scent.





What I like about it is the refreshing and clean feeling that it leaves on my skin after using it. I know it is not a toner but it has a similar effect on my skin. It also preps my skin for better absorption of other skincare products that I apply and layer on my skin.

This essence dries to clean and smooth finish without leaving any trace of oiliness. I also did not have any allergic reaction while using this product.

Other notable ingredients (aside from the 5 main root extracts – Yam, Lotus, Taro, Saururus Chinesis & Dandelion) are extracts from  fermented soybean, maple, white willow bark, oregano and broccoli. It also has oils such as bergamot, lemon, orange, peppermint, tea tree and sunflower seed.  




This thick and very dense facial cream contains the following root extracts: yam, lotus, taro, saururus chinesis, dandelion and peony. Although it is very thick, this cream has a non-greasy moisturizing formula. It also works to strengthen the skin barrier, whiten the skin and well as improve fine lines and wrinkles.






What I like about this cream is that it can be used both in the morning and in the evening. Since it is non-greasy, it pairs well with other skin care products even make up. I also like that it is unscented.

Free Bunni is a cruelty free and clean beauty online community. They recently launched their first wellness box featuring a curated line of products for a complete skincare routine.  This is not your typical fancy schmancy beauty box – they screen all the products that they feature making sure that it is free from synthetic ingredients such as parabens, phthalates, formaldehyde, PEG compounds, sodium laureth and fragrances. They also make sure that it is a cruelty free brand – meaning no animal testing at all. All the products in their box are full sized.



Here are the products featured:


[Laughing Tree Organics] Green Tea & Camellia Facial Cleanser
Value: $19



[Puristry] Flower Water Toner
Value: $32



[Rutz Naturals] Physical Attraction Serum
Value $48



[100% Pure] Coffee Bean Caffeine Eye Cream

[Cake Face Soaping] Lavender Lemon Lotion
Value: $8

Total Value: $136
The cost of subscription is $70 + taxes and shipping fee. The out-of-pocket cost is about $81.03 dollars. Ships to US only.



I believe that this box is just a onetime purchase and not a subscription. The price point is a bit steep considering that there are only 5 products in the box but I guess, what you are really paying for is the peace of mind that your skincare products are clean. Free Bunni surely did their homework in making sure that the products in the box meet their high standards when it comes to being clean and cruelty free.

In regards to the goodies in the box, all with the exception of 100% Pure is new to me. I am excited to try all it, especially the Lavender Lemon Lotion.

Thermus All Day Vitalizing Line

The main ingredient of this line is the extract from the oldest living microorganism on Earth. The Thermus Themophillus is a Gram-negative bacterium that was first isolated in 1971, Japan. They are anaerobes – they can live in very hot environments, hence they are found mostly in geothermic environments such as hot springs and undersea volcanic thermal vents. It can withstand heat and chemicals.





Boasting all these characteristics, Thermus promises to improve damaged skin due to environmental factors such as heat and pollution.

Thermus product ingredients are all non-toxic (Green level)





Puregen Thermus All Day Vitalizing Toner


Notable Ingredients:

Thermus Thermophillus

Niacinamide

Caviar Extract

Algae Extract

Propolis Extract






This toner is heavenly! Aside from its beautiful sleek glass pump bottle, the toner itself feels very luxurious on the skin. It has a mild floral –citrusy scent (fragrance based) and has a slightly viscous texture. I like to use it by patting the toner on my skin instead of using cotton because I feel like it wastes the product. As long as I know that my skin is spotless and clean, I just apply this toner as it is.

Absorption is excellent. It also leaves a thin amount of moisture on my skin. I also noticed that my skin absorbs moisturizers better after applying this toner.





Puregen Thermus All Day Vitalizing Eye Cream

Notable Ingredients:

Thermus Thermophillus

Niacinamide

Rosa Canina Fruit Oil

Shea Butter

I already have fine lines around my eyes that look even deeper when I squint or smile. What I like about this eye cream is that once it sinks in to the skin, the lines look a bit less prominent. I know that this is just a temporary result but I am pretty sure that a more consistent use will make it look even better. I also like how it brightens the skin around my eye area, making it look less tired and dull. I use this eye cream after I apply the Thermus All Day Vitalizing Toner.





Puregen Thermus All Day Vitalizing Essence

Notable Ingredients:

Thermus Thermophillus

Niacinamide

Camellia Japonica Seed Oil

Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil

Propolis Extract

A lot of people forego using essence in their everyday skincare routine. Essences penetrates deep in to the layers of the skin, balancing it after cleansing and toning (which we know tends to strip skin from essential oils and moisture) while giving it a boost of hydration, To top it, essence also primes the skin for superb absorption of creams or moisturizers.




Having a thin lotion like texture, the Thermus Essence is absorbed by the skin in a matter of seconds! It gives the skin a silly and non-greasy finish. What I like about this is its lightweight formula making it the perfect layering product.

Although this essence contains fragrance, it is less noticeable compared to the Thermus toner.





Puregen Thermus All Day Vitalizing Cream

Notable Ingredients:

Thermus Thermophillus

Niacinamide

Rosa Canina Fruit Oil

Shea Butter

Galactomyces

This really is beautiful lightweight moisturizer. The Galactomyces effectively moisturizes the skin while the niacinamide brightens the complexion of the skin making it look fresher and bouncier to the touch.

This moisturizer has a thinner consistency compared to other facial creams that tends to be dense and thick. It has mild rose scent that lingers a bit after application. Since this is very lightweight, it does not leave the skin feeling heavy and oily. Even after the following day, my skin feel moisturized without the trace of oiliness on my nose, forehead and chin.





Additional Thoughts: 

It has been a few weeks since I started using all four Thermus products and I have noticed that my skin really improved a lot. Having tried a lot (and I mean A LOT) of skincare products, this line from Thermus is something that will not end up in the back burner for me. I really like it and for sure it will be part of my regular skincare routine. Being skincare guinea pig, I subject my skin to different formulas - most of the products I use, I end up not using at all even if it is good. I only have a handfull of brands that I love and trust - and right now, Thermus is part of it.
