It contains kaempferol, a powerful antioxidant that protects skin from damage caused by free radicals COSRX Ultimate Nourishing Honey Overnight Spa Mask: I prefer this to the rice mask. It has a clear, gel-like consistency that I like to layer over a moisturiser. My friend with acne-prone skin enjoys this as well. We wouldn't recommend using this on its own, however, unless you have extremely oily skin and want something not overly occlusive. Recommended for sensitive skin, oily skin, acne-prone skin, combination skin. 9/10. Key Ingredients: Niacinamide is the star ingredient in here (I can’t seem to find any papers discussing distilled Lotus Water and any benefits when applied to the skin topically). Niacinamide helps fortify the skin’s barrier, moisturises the skin, brightens the skin and recent research has shown it may be a potential antioxidant. It’s also sebum regulating (so could be good against pimple formation). Kaempferol is added which is an Antioxidant (soothes the skin). So before trying a new product, it pays to do a little bit of research first. Pay special attention to ingredients that you might have a reaction to. Lotus water extract: absorbs damaging toxins out of your skin for a clearer and cleaner complexion.

Which is why I was so excited to receive this Lotus Water Cream from their Clean Line for review. I’ve heard so many good things. Let’s get to it. What is Rovectin’s Clean Line? I use this lotus cream at the last step of my evening skincare routine and before sunscreen in the morning. If you’ve been following The Skin Experiment for a while (thanks!), you’d know that not only am I big fan of k-beauty and Asian skincare products; I’ve also become such a big fan of Rovectin.Lotus flowers are known for their self-purifying and self-cleansing abilities. If you’ve ever seen one, notice how beautifully they bloom in muddy and murky waters. Do I prefer this or the Toner?: If I had to choose one, I think this is more unique in texture and provides a hydrating finish to the skin over the toner. Review of the Toner is HERE.
