  • Magimaxx Aquacell Cream Review

    3.28.2016

    Magimaxx Aquacell Cream

    If you're a K-beauty fan like me, then this is something you must try! It's the first premium facial moisturizing cream from Korea that uses horse placenta and horse oil. Yes I know, how gross does that sound? As gross as eating fish collagen and putting snail mucous on your face. Thanks to Korea, the beauty industry is just full of surprises from left, right and center. Technology coupled with effective ingredients put Korea on the map for being the skincare experts in Asia. Korean women and men walk about with flawless, "chok chok" baby smooth skin making us South East Asians jealous and ready to have what they have. Beautiful skin.



    NATURAL MOISTURIZER MADE WITH
    HORSE PLACENTA & HORSE OIL

    Now I first saw this from Althea Korea and it took me 6 months to decide if I should purchase it. Why the long wait? First, because it cost a good RM150 (np RM265), secondly my money went to the cutesy products like the banana shaped face mask and choco pie hand cream instead. I'm a sucker for food shaped or inspired beauty products!. But when my friends who tried it told me the cream was good and the cap was made of wood, I threw my money at it.

    So what's so good about this cream? I'll tell you 

    A team of medical and cosmetic lab professionals took 4 years to come up with this cream. It became Korea's first moisturizing cream breakthrough that uses 10% horse placenta  and horse oil. Heck, they even patented it! A seaweed called Caulerpa lentillifera is also used in this product. It's known as sea grapes of "green caviar". High in minerals and rich in iodine making it a very nourishing ingredient.

    The horse oil and horse placenta are from a "clean zone" horse ranch in Jeju, Korea. I hope no horses were killed just for their oil and placenta. There's not much information I can read regarding how horse oil is made. The famous Guerisson 9 Complex Cream (horse oil cream) for instance, uses horse oil from Germany. I heard it's from the horses' mane.

    Horse oil first took the world by storm in 2014 when it was first sighted. Naturally used way back during our ancestral days, horse oil were the "moisturizers" of the day. Natural, antibacterial, has soothing, hydrating and repairing qualities as well. It is great to revitalize the skin and improve skin texture.

    Horse placenta is the fountain of youth today. It is said to help minimized the appearance of wrinkles and strengthen skin elasticity. Marketers have already started to market sheep and horse placentas pills that would make consumers youthful.

    8 natural ingredients from Jeju is also used to make this moisturizer. The natural scent itself is also made from the 8 natural herbal oils making this a clean, safe and natural moisturizer free from chemicals for green beauty. Yes, it's chemical free. Free from 11 chemicals normally found in beauty products - Paraben, mineral oil, talc, SLS-SLES, Benzophenone,  GMO, Triclosan, TEA, alcohol, artificial pigment, and Propylene Glycol.

     natural moisturizer with horse placenta & horse oil

    authentic Korean product

    water based jelly like texture for refreshing hydrating

    it's also for anti-aging & to nourish the skin

    My Verdict:
    I just started using this so I can't say so much about its effects but I can definitely comment on the technology and process of this natural moisturizer. The scent is a strong powder like smell while the texture is a translucent water-based cream that melts into your skin as you massage on evenly. I love love love the texture! It's jelly like but oh so refreshing and watery your skin just drinks it up. No icky, sticky, greasy or oily fee. One of the many reasons why I love Korean and Japanese skincare, they know what Asian skin needs and wants.

    Texture: water based cream
    Scent: strong, powder smell
    Colour: translucent
    Packaging: Wood & ceramic, aesthetic feel
    Price: premium

    If this moisturizer hasn't impressed you with its amazing ingredients, then you're in for another shocker. Just like Sulwhasoo, Magimaxx Aquacell Cream is made without using electricity and fossil fuel. Instead, it is made using Jeju's traditional organic fermentation technology.All this packaged in one high-quality container with its cap made of leftover wood to reduce green footprints. If I'm not mistaken, the container is made of ceramic and the label, it's some sort of plate embossed. One look, one feel, it's definitely not "cheap".

    Magimaxx Aquacell Cream can be purchased from Althea Korea for RM150 (np RM265). It'll be shipped and delivered from Korea to your doorsteps in a week. There is also another Magimaxx Original Cream but it's for brightening and anti-aging and made with pure horse placenta, where else Aquacell is for hydrating. I'm going to try that once I finish this one.

    2. As the ancient Magi or Wise men who came to visit Jesus: Melchior king of Arabia, who brought a casquet of gold, Caspar, king of Tarsus who brought myrrh in a gold mounted horn, and Balthasar king of Ethiopia, who brought frankincense in a censer, lets share abundance and prosperity with those we love and care for.
