[REVIEW] Tony Moly Wonder Honey Moisture Cream

Hey guys! It's been a while since I last blogged. Hope you guys had a wonderful day/night.
Initially, I wanted to pick up the Tony Moly Wonder Water Moisture Cream because Monsta X's I.M (Changkyun) uses it too (it was featured in their Monsta X- Deokspatch Season 2 Episode 6: Don't Take Care Of My Refrigerator episode), but the saleslady informed me that the said item is not instock.
Maybe it's because of I.M (Changkyun), the shelves of Wonder Water Moisture Cream are empty. Haha.

Anyways, the saleslady told me that the Wonder Honey Moisture Cream is also one of their best-selling products so I decided to try it out. I mean, both Wonder Water and Wonder Honey are in the same range, right?
I was surprised by the huge tub for its affordable price and also, the quality is pretty good (according to the saleslady). I picked it up anyways because I needed a moisturiser that isn't too rich because I have an oily to normal skin type. If you have dry skin, definitely go for a moisturiser that is rich, because it has added extra moisture.
Not surprisingly, it moisturiser does look like honey. I know honey has a lot of benefits not only for our health, but our skin as well. Honey helps to moisturise and hydrate the skin, great for acne treatment and prevention as well as slowing down aging. It is naturally antibacterial, so I'm glad they used honey as a facial moisturiser, as you know, it has a lot of benefits.
I find this quite subtle. Nothing super amazing happened. It did give my face extra moisture and hydration and definitely prevented my skin from getting dry or form dry patches around my skin. When I came back from Seoul in December, my whole face was so dry, I could see a lot of dry patches forming around my chins and nose area, it was a nightmare, but after using this for about a week, I noticed that there were no dry patches forming so I have to thank Tony Moly for saving my skin (lol). 

It penetrates into my skin quite well, doesn't leave an oily residue on my skin, but definitely feels moisturised and hydrated. It's quite comforting to know my skin is receiving lots of moisture from this product as I was suffering from dry patches for the last few weeks. It also doesn't leave any sticky-feeling on the skin, which most moisturisers do.

It smells very sweet and the texture is a little bit sticky, but not creamy. It's definitely not slippery.
A little goes a long way because just with little product, it can spread around the whole face, which means that this product will last for a very long time. My skin doesn't feel strange or weird, didn't leave any break-outs or form any blemishes so there's no side effects (depending on your skin though). 

This is more suitable for those who have oily to normal skin because this product isn't very rich. If you want a more richer and has added extra moisture, try out Lush's Imperialis, Celestial and Vanishing Cream. 

Price: 15,500KRW (I bought it for 9,900KRW because it was on sale)
Store Location: Tony Moly branches
Size/Amount of Product: 320ml
Would I repurchase it? I'm not sure. For the time being, I'm still thinking about whether or not I should repurchase this after I have finished it. It's a good moisturiser, but I don't know if I'm 100% sure it's the right one for me. Maybe because it's too subtle?

Overall Comment:
I am quite okay with this product. It's not all that amazing, but it works quite well, but not to the point where it changes the skin or improves the skin besides moisturising it. It is subtle, very subtle. Simple. clean and affordable. Not too rich, but just right for me. This is a great product for those who have oily to combination skin for some moisture and hydration.

Pros:
-moisturising
-not too rich
-no oily residue/finish
-nice scent
-penetrates/absorbs well into the skin
-suitable for all skin types
-affordable
-refreshing
-feels light on the skin
-not sticky

Cons:
-not rich enough for people with dry skin
-heavy
-not travel-friendly
-not portable
-twistable cap
-might be difficult to scoop out product when low on product

  1. I purchased Wonder Honey in Korea and absolutely LOVE it ..makes my skin super clear and soft...I was delighted to find out that Tony Moly is located at Pacific Mall and I can remember purchase. ..as said it lasts a long time. .bought in Korea for 8.00 and is 16.00 here in Canada but still well worth it
