Recent years, we have seen Korea's music or K-pop and television dramas mesmerizing an international audience across the world, a phenomenon described as the "
Korean wave".
Besides the Korean entertainment industry, Korea's cosmetic and skin care brands that focuses on
natural, glowing and flawless skin have gained and enjoyed great popularity across the world, too.
One of them is definitely
LANEIGE or in chinese as
兰芝, a fast-glowing cosmetic and skin care brand from Korea.

LANEIGE'S CONCEPT
Laneige, which means "snow" in French, completes the beauty of women by pursuing the artistic sensibility of water science to help women achieve the
radiant, dewy skin they have always longed for.
In a true showcase of how artistic senses meet scientific knowledge, Laneige balances the appreciation of snow crystals with tireless research for the essence of hydration technology.
LANEIGE'S PHILOSOPHY
--- Clean and sophisticated beauty
--- The confidence of youth, energy and beauty
--- The beauty of sophisticated make-up on moist and transparent skin
Laneige's "Be Waterful" skin care range
Laneige's "Be Waterful" skin care range that claims to enhance the beauty of Asian women, which focuses on hydration and nourishes the skin with the
new and improved Water Science, for
radiant and
youthful-looking skin, makes me so attracted to that skin care range and the urge to buy one for myself.
Among the skin care range, the
Water Sleeping Pack_Ex drew me the most attention. Hence I bought it immediately when I first saw it in a duty free shop at the Bangkok airport, it costed me
only RM 71.40 per tub (yup RM 71.40 for the 80ml tub!) as I bought duo pack at RM 142.80 and shared it with my friend. The cheapest price I have seen so far!

Tadah! The Water Sleeping Pack_Ex has a light gel-type texture, and a pleasant sweet aroma too!
It has a transparent soft blue gel, more like turquoise, my favourite colour!
There is a small spatula and an instruction leaflet in the box

INGREDIENTS AND EFFECTS
HOW TO USE
- In the evening, follow the face relaxing massage after applying skin refiener and emulsion after face wash.
- After taking appropriate amount (2.5cm in diameter recommended), mark
on nose tip, cheeks, forehead, and chin areas, and feel the scent for
about 3 seconds.
- Relax your body and mind through the Sleepscent™.
-
Gently spread over the face from inner part to outer part along the skin texture.
- Go to sleep after absorption without rinsing off. (Wash face in the next morning)
- Use once or twice a week.
- Apply more than recommended amount when your skin is particularly dry.
- Open the cap and breathe in the scent of Water Sleeping Pack_EX about 5 seconds before use when you feel a heavy stress.
- Apply to neck area for neck care.
I tried to apply some amount on my hand.
The texture is light without stickiness and I like the aromatic scent!
I think I applied the gel too thick,
it was more than enough to be applied all over my hand lol.
When the gel is fully absorbed.
For me, the gel took quite some time to be fully absorbed,
maybe it was too thick and made it difficult to be absorbed instantly.
But it absorbed quickly once I pat over that area.
UV rays as well as various internal causes such as stress, skin impurities and lack of sleep, can damage the skin texture and tone easily.
So, I apply the Water Sleeping Pack_Ex once or twice a week before go to sleep to provide concentrated vitality to the rough and dull skin to restore back the bright and crystal-clear complexion of my skin!
Laneige's Water Sleeping Pack_Ex makes my skin more hydrated and looks more nourishes on the very next day I applied it as sleeping mask before I went to bed. My skin feels softer and supple with less sleep lines appear on my face because I always like to sleep sideways.
Me right after applying the gel before go to bed.
As you can see the gel on my face is not fully absorbed yet
because I applied a thick layer.
I think only a small amount of gel is needed to be applied on the face and neck area because once the gel is applied it is like water spreading all over your face.
A bottle with 80ml gel, well if you have a smaller face than me, plus according to the direction of use "Use once or twice a week", you can rely on it for more than half a year or more lol.
Besides as a sleeping mask, I also tried to use it as a routine skin care or make-up base before I put on make-up. It moisturizes my skin and makes my skin look more radiant. After all, my make-up stayed longer too!
This is me the very next day where I applied the Water Sleeping Pack_Ex.
