Let’s get real, we’re all obsessed with ageing. I for one examine my skin thoroughly every month to check for new lines, spots, or wrinkles, and then go on to purchase products that claim to fix them. And fix them overnight 🤡
While most products promise transformational results, only a handful deliver. And somehow, the Koreans have been at the top of the game when it comes to identifying them. Snail mucin? Check. Rice water? Check. Centella? Check. Cica? Check. I could go on but you get the point now. So you best believe I’ll be trying anything new the Koreans come up with – ingredient or product. And they seem to have found the solution to visible signs of ageing – no needles required!
What Is It?
The Wrinkle Focus Shot by K-Beauty brand Isa Knox apparently simulates the effectiveness of injectibles over time. It’s specifically created for mature skin since it aims to reduce wrinkles and improve the skin’s elasticity and firmness thanks to its ingredient list.
Think retinol and snail mucin but 5 times stronger. Not sold yet? Let me break it down for you.
It contains Granactive Reinoid (reduces collagen breakdown and restores the skin’s elasticity) and Bakuchiol (improves the skin’s cell turnover, smoothening out fine lines and wrinkles) along with Cedrol (emollient that helps restore the skin’s barrier) and 4 peptides.
This product which looks much denser than your average snail mucin, is meant to be applied to your entire face after your serum. It can also be used as a targeted treatment around your eyes, smile lines, neck, etc. It’s also non-sticky and can be massaged into your skin using a gua sha or just your hands, for better effectiveness. The biggest selling point? It’s great for all skin types.
The skincare market may be over-populated at the moment, but the product is worth checking out thanks to it’s ingredient list. The fact that it’s a Korean product is yet another selling point and I’ve added it to my cart already!
