Laneige Product Reviews 

Alright guys, I have today off from work so I'm going to start the reviews on different products I've tried so far.  

Review List:

Laneige Sensitive Gel Cleanser

Laneiege Sensitive Skin Refiner

Laneige Sensitive Essence 

Laneige Water Bank Moisture Cream

Laneige Water Sleeping Pack_EX

Laneige Multiberry Yogurt Peeling Gel

I got all of these products at Kim's Housewares in San Francisco.  

Laneige Sensitive Gel Cleanser

Product description:

(200 ml/6.8 oz)

alcohol free/fragrance free/color free

packaged in a plastic light green pump style bottle

gel consistency

This product was great for me when I broke out in a strange rash around my eyes and eyebrows.  It was very gentle and didn't irritate the rest of my face.  I ended up getting a prescription cream for my eyes (the rash was from an allergic reaction to some makeup) but now that the rash is gone I'm still using the cleanser.  I've had this bottle for about 2 months and it's still about 1/3 full.  I use one pump in the morning and 1 pump at night.  It lathers very well and doesn't get too bubbly but sometimes it does run down my arms.  Overall, I'd say that this product was well worth the price and I'll definitely be using it for a while.  

Laneige Sensitive Skin Refiner

Product description:

(120 ml/4.1 fl oz)

alcohol free/fragrance free/color free

packaged in a hard plastic green bottle

clear watery liquid

From the Laneige website:

- Soothes sensitive and stressed skin and gently exfoliates excess keratin without irritation for healthy skin with fragrance-free, alcohol-free and color-free system
- Bio Dusali, extracted from fermented seaweed with strong energy of life, supplies energy to the skin and promotes keratin turnover, while the Hyacinth extracts purify the skin from heavy metal, smog, and other harmful materials to leave the skin moist and transparent.
- Rice bran extracts with outstanding skin soothing and moisturizing effects along with a highly skin-friendly high-molecular moisture barrier provides sufficient moisturization and healthier skin condition.

1. Dispense appropriate amount onto a cotton pad after cleansing every morning and evening.
2. Gently apply as lightly wiping out from inside to outside

The Sensitive Skin Refiner from Laneige is a very light toner for sensitive skin.  I used it right after the gel cleanser to help get rid of any dirt left on my skin and prep my skin for the next step in the skin care routine. The liquid was very watery and poured out whenever I tipped the bottle over.  I used a cotton pad to swipe the product over my face.  Unfortunately, the product was so watery that the cotton pads absorbed a ridiculous amount of product and I ended up using the whole bottle in a month.  To me, this product wasn't very cost efficient.  I ran through the whole bottle so FAST!  To be fair, I really liked the product but for the price, it wasn't worth it to me.  I may buy the bottle again if my skin starts to get dry since it was very gentle on my skin but for now, I'll hold off.

Laneige Sensitive Essence

Product description:

I actually don't know anything about the packaging since I got this as a bunch of samples

This essence comes out as a clear gel consistency.  I generally use about a dime sized amount to pat into my skin.  I'm not really sure what an essence should do but my skin feels very refreshed when I put this on.  When I first went to Kim's Housewares, they ran out of the product so I got about 30 samples of the product.  I went back about 2 weeks later and they still didn't have it so I got another batch of samples (this time she gave me a huge bag full!).  Each sample size lasts me 2 days (I use it both day and night) so I really haven't had to buy it yet.  I'm actually on the fence in terms of whether or not I will buy it though.  I like the product but I think I might try something different once I run out of samples.

Laneige Water Bank Moisture Cream

Product description:

50ml

skin type: Dry skin/Normal skin

cream based product 

comes in a blue glass jar with a spatula to get the product out of the jar

From the Laneige website:

- A 24-hour long-lasting moisture cream with a strong hydrating effect and a rich texture to refine a rough skin into a smooth and shiny skin. 

- Contains mineral water for skin regeneration and Water Pump System for a moisture circulation to safeguard skin moisture and hold it in to leave the skin moisturized and smooth. 

- Contains grape seed oil and mango seed oil with anti-oxidant and soothing properties to emulsify the skin and supply nutrition and energy.

1. After using the essence, release about a hazelnut-sized amount. 
2. Gently spread from the center of the face towards the contours. 

 At first I was weirded out by the packaging.  I've never seen a product with a spatula before but I read some other product review sites and found out that the spatula is provided for sanitary purposes.  Apparently, using your fingers to get a product out will contaminate the jar so I clean the spatula before and after I use the product.  Although, to be fair, washing your hands before using a product would probably be the same.

Like the description says, this cream is very hydrating.  My skin feels super soft after I've used the product without feeling oily but because it's so hydrating I only use it at night.  It's a little too much for my skin during the day time.  

Laneige Water Sleeping Pack_EX

Product Description:

80ml

Skin type: All Skin

From the Laneige website:

Night time skin transmission (permeability) shows higher rate than the one in the day time. 

Applying it right before sleep time, the best state for the skin transmission according to the skin circadian rhythm, maximizes the efficiency of overnight water supply. 

The function of skin remarkably declines in the night time. Enriched with Beta-glucan, Water Sleeping Pack_EX deeply hydrates fatigue and dry skin while Ceramide SLN formula strengthens the skin barrier. 

With containing the Snow Water, it helps to keep your skin look more crystal clear and vitalized.


- Antioxidant effect of Hunza Apricot Extracts helps brighten skin tone evenly by removing harmful oxygen and purifying skin.

I didn't like this product at all.  I really tried hard to like it since it got some great reviews but when I tested it on my arm, I ended up breaking out in a rash.  I gave the whole bottle to my sister after that.
