If you've been following me on
social media, or have been following this blog, then you probably know that I'm a fan of all things Korean - pop music, dramas, variety shows, food, and most of all cosmetics. I reckon it's this great fondness for Korean beauty products that landed me a stint in
Althea's Beauty Ambassador Community. I was over the moon with excitement when I learned that I've officially become an
Althea Angel, and even more so when I received my
Welcome Gift from
Althea with these lovely surprises inside.

| Yay! Welcome Gift from Althea! :) |
One of the
(many) things that I love about being an
Althea Angel is getting first dibs on new products and Althea exclusives, such as the
Althea Real Fresh Skin Detoxer.

A collaboration between
Althea and
Get It Beauty, Korea's number one beauty show, the
Real Fresh Skin Detoxer is a 2-in-1 cleanser pack that deep cleanses the skin while boosting it with an array of nutrients. It comes in two variants -
Rose and
Green Tea.
 |
| Green Tea and Rose. |
The
Rose Variant contains natural extracts from the
May Rose which bloom once a year in
Grasse, Southern France. These roses are then handpicked to create this special formula that soothes, smoothens, and deeply hydrates the skin. This product also contains real rose petals which gently exfoliate the skin and gives it a sweet and subtle fragrance.

The
Green Tea Variant, on the other hand, is made with
Green Tea goodness from
Jeju Island. This product is formulated with green tea extracts and finely grounded green tea powder that are rich in vitamin C and antioxidants to help purify and brighten the skin. Each tube also contains real green tea leaves which exfoliates and leaves the skin with a nice, refreshing scent.

To use these products, simply apply a generous layer onto your face and leave it for ten seconds. Then add a little water and massage in circular motions before rinsing off. The
Rose variant is recommended for morning use, while the
Green Tea is recommended to be used at night.

I've been using both products for a little over a week now, and I love how my skin feels squeaky clean and super smooth after every wash. Both variants are gentle enough for daily use, but I prefer using the
Rose on a daily basis
(the scent is definitely a pick-me-upper in the morning) while the
Green Tea as a twice
(or thrice) a week deep cleanser. I also prefer applying a thin layer on my face, as the texture of both products are already thick to begin with. If you have sensitive skin, you'll be glad to know that these cleanser packs are hypoallergenic, and they're cruelty-free, too.

Php 1100 - eligible for free shipping to the Philippines! :)

Skin products always confuse me because there are JUST SO MANY! haha! But I appreciate your review - as I have never heard of this company before! I am glad you're loving it too! Your skin is glowing!
Wow, glowing skin! These products sound sooo fancy, I would love the one that is made from the flower that only blooms once a year. Will probably Google some of these products to find out even more since I have a few rules on what I can and cannot use.
I love how natural it looks, but I wonder how long it's still good after you've opened it? Do you have to store it in a fridge or something? I guess the rose and green tea is the most natural thing you could add to your skin! :) Love it!
I love the smell of both rose and teatree so these products sound really great
