Hey guys! It’s been over a month since my last post. I have been busy the past few weeks with just generic holiday stuff and was away for a good number of days to another state park for a mini-vacation. It was so relaxing and fun as we went right into Thanksgiving after that. It was the most relaxing and fun Thanksgiving to date, I think. Today’s Curtain Call post is on something I’ve been using about weekly for the past few months. Here are my thoughts on the COSRX Balancium B5 D-Panthenol Ampoule.
What I love about this product? I managed to score this for $4 on clearance at my local TJMaxx a while back. I honestly had so many beauty products open that I have to use up but I noticed the best before date on this coming up, so I decided to give it a go weekly until it’s all gone. I used this right after the essence or serum step. Since, to me, ampoules are more concentrated than essence or serums even — I opted to use this as a weekly treatment. I open the cap and position it over my face and push the bottom to pump product onto my face. Using my fingers to spread it around thinly and evenly over my face, I can feel it kind of drying up quickly. I can use a face moisturizer over this almost immediately after application. It does feel like it keeps my face well moisturized. If I don’t follow up with anything else on my face, it dries down ever-so-slightly tacky.
What I don’t like about this product? If I have to be really picky, it’s the afterfeel. It’s a little tackier than I’d like and with this it is so easy to go overboard and you are left with a very tacky afterfeel. Like, hair sticking to your face kind of deal. I also do not see this on the COSRX site, so I’m guessing it’s been discontinued? I’d actually be open to grabbing a large bottle of this, if available, when on sale. Oh well, I have another ampoule of theirs to try so….onto the next one!
