[Lioele] Multi Seaweed Gel

By J
Sample Review

Unlike the tonymoly I'm Real Seaweed Aqua Moisture Lotion I reviewed, which I had three samples, I only had one of these, and so I hadn't used this for as long.

But nonetheless I got a pretty good feel for it and decided to compare it to the tonymoly one :D

It claims to:
  • give a calming and cooling sensation
  • be moisturising
  • tightening
  • lifting
  • trouble care
  • and daily care
In addition, you can supposedly pack this on and use it as a mask. (But I swear its lack of moisturising ability you'd probably have to use all of it ._.


I have to admit that I found this packaging a ton cuter than the tonymoly one. 



Here's the front and back if anyone cares to read it. Sorry about the reflection ;c



Okay. So in the advertised pictures the gel is supposed to be a 'natural' colour of bright yellow? Idk what happened to mine LOL but it sure as heck wasn't yellow. 



It's got this liquidy gel like texture. While I'm not sure about the whole 'calming' claim, it does give a very nice cooling sensation which was pretty nice for the summer. 

There were a load of cons about this, so keep reading below
___________________________________________________________________
Pros:

It's very light
Gives cooling sensation

Cons:

L While this might be okay for those with very oily skin, this wasn't nearly moisturising enough for my dry cheeks (which aren't nearly as dry as usual in summer), and not really that moisturising for my oilier T-zone either
I didn't really notice any tightening of my skin/pores (but not that i really have too many to tell)
L Didn't notice any effects of any trouble care; still got one of my hormonal spots anyway lol
Doesn't contain any SPF even though it's supposed to be part of 'daily care'

Comparing to [TONY MOLY] I'm Real Seaweed Aqua Moisture Lotion

Not nearly as moisturising
L It costs nearly double the amount of the tonymoly one ($12.70USD for Lioele 100ml, $15.50USD for tonymoly 200ml)

The plus side is that using it is probably easier, as this comes in a pot and spatula, whereas the tonymoly one is just in a big bottle with a big opening.

Overall: 2/5 
Verdict: I really didn't care for this product. I'd buy the tonymoly one over this any day :/

Full size pot (100ml) is about $12.70USD on ebay.

Hoorayyyyyyy for K! :D
