[Gobdigoun Review] Gobdigoun Aging Corrector Skin Milk Conditioner & 7 Skin Method

Price: 44,000 won
(received from Gobdigoun in exchange for an honest review)
Verdict: 9/10
Repurchase: Probably


Product & Packaging

Gobdigoun is a Korean skincare brand that has been around since 2010 and produces high quality and middle to higher price ranged products. This Skin Milk Conditioner is sent to me for my honest review, but all thoughts are my own, as always. 

This is a newly introduced line of product in it's aging corrector skin milk series. This Aging Corrector Skin Milk Conditioner is made with goat milk from Australia. It is rich with Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) which is good for beauty care and skin whitening. In addition it has milk protein extract, which can soften the skin. 
The box is absolutely gorgeous, so much so that I've been keeping the bottle in the box so I can stare at it before I use it daily. Lol. The product itself is contained in a bottle with an opening at the top which allows for application using a cotton pad easier. However, I always feel like cotton pads are a waste of product (I'm not trying to moisturize my cotton pads!) and this kind of bottle sort of makes it so that the product spills a little. :(


Ingredients

The ingredients list is fairly long, though there doesn't seem to be anything particularly jarring in them. I really like how they have the highlights of the product written out on the bottle itself, sort of like a gentle reminder of how I'm putting nice things on my face. XD

The main ingredients in the product include Niacimamide, Goat Milk Extract, Licorice Root Extract, Oatmeal Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Olive Leaf Extract, Ceramide. 

Niacinamide is an ingredient that I've been trying to incorporate into my skincare routine as it is able to reduce skin pigmentation. It is a powerful antioxidant that can enhance skin barrier function and even out skin tone. 

Goat's milk has a pH level that's close to the skin's natural pH, which is well balanced for healthy human skin. It's inclusion includes EGF, which is able to work together with the Niacinamide to promote skin brightening. Licorice Root Extract is another brightening ingredient, but it also helps soothe and calm the skin. It's anti-inflmmatory properties means it can help soothe irritated skin. Another anti-inflammatory ingredient present is the willow bark extract and oatmeal extract. Both contains antimicrobial properties, which inhibits bacterial growth.

Ceramide is a naturally present component of the skin. It's necessary for their water-retention capacity and adding them to skincare products helps provide replenishing and restoring benefits according to Paula's Choice. Ceramides helps improve skin's texture, suppleness, and help calm signs of sensitivity. 

Texture and Directions
As I've mentioned earlier, the texture of the product is quite watery, so much so that there's a risk of spilling too much product if a cotton pad is not used. :( I don't use cotton pads, as I've mentioned, so it's a dangerous game everytime I'm using it. Lol. That said, it feels absolutely heavenly on the skin, sinking in without leaving a sticky sensation and leaving the skin chok-chok and moisturized.

The watery texture of the conditioner means it's meant to be used as the first step of the skincare routine prior to any other products (toner step).

Another way to use this is the 7 Skin Method. This is the method in which the same product is layered multiple times on the skin, once it's  absorbed, in order for the skin to be moisturized. 

The recommended use is:
Oily Skin Type: 2 TimesNormal Skin Type: 4 TimesDry Skin Type: 7 Times
I've heard of the 7 skin method but was never keen on trying it out since I enjoy the many different products in my skincare routine. However, I enjoy how the conditioner feels on my skin so much that I could layer this on my oily/combo skin 3 times and reach that perfect soft-soothed skin. ^^

Performance
I've started using everything in the Gobdigoun line of products that they've kindly sent to me and honestly, my skin has been improving more than it's been since I started my Korean skincare journey and I'm shooked! Lol. The ingredients in these are really good, but I've tried products with ingredients that're as awesome and none has worked as well as these. T.T

The stubborn cc's on my cheek is all but gone and even though I still have acne scars and pigmentation, it seems they're finally starting to fade!

While this is not my entire routine, I have been using most of these daily and my skin thanks me for it. My current routine includes :
Gobdigoun Skin Milk ConditionerGobdigoun Skin Milk LotionGobdigoun 24k Placenta Power CreamGobdigoun Aging Corrector Eye Cream
The only downside of these, honestly, is the price range, which runs a little higher than my normal skincare products. However, I've been seeing such great results from them that I'm saving up and am waiting for a good deal since they do plenty of those on their site.

[Gobdigoun Review] Gobdigoun Skincare Goat Milk & Other Products Introduction & Mini Reviews

I'm the luckiest girl in the world. When Kaga Cheng from the Marketing Department of Korean Skin Care Brand, Gobdigoun got in touch with me via email last month to ask if I'd like to review their newly launched line of Goat's Milk product, I was ecstatic. Their products are available in Myeong-dong, Seoul, South Korea, in LG Brand Skin Care Product Store. 

Gobdigoun has been around since 2010 and produces high quality and middle to higher price ranged products. I am honestly swooning over everything here. The packaging is just so gloriously beautiful and the masks~ The masks are so pretty I'm not sure if I have it in me to tear them open and use them. 

Without further ado, here are the products included in the pack, which I will be reviewing this week. ^^

24K Golden Cream Placenta Power


I'm especially amused by the 24k Golden Cream Placenta Power with the super fancy golden tube. My boyfriend says it smells really nice, but I can't pick up the scent for this at all. I think he was a little worried about the eye cream looking like an injection at first, then I showed him it's just an extra fancy pump tube. :D

Placenta Protein is a natural ingredient obtained through scientific system in Australia. According to it's description, it has a specific molecular structure and nucleic acid similar to that of human and this enchances the skin's immunity. In addition, it offers natural recovery, anti-aging, and detoxing effects, resulting in dermal relief and product reliability. It has 47% Centella Asiatica extract which can relieve skin dryness and moisten skin. 

After using this for 3 weeks, I'm quite impressed by it's ability to moisturize my skin. The presence of Centella Asiatica allows it to calm my skin breakouts without causing further skin damage. In addition, it is moisturizing without being sticky. ^^

Placenta Power Aging Corrector Eye Cream



The eye cream is another ultra fancily packed product. This placenta power aging corrector eye cream claims to be effective on almost every type of wrinkle, including forehead lines, crow's feet, eye bags, mouth frowns, vertical lines, tear troughts, neck lines, and folds. It also contains sheet placenta present in the 24K cream.

The application of this also so luxurious that I'm pretty pleased with it. The knob at the end turns so that the tube can be pressed and that allows cream to be pumped from the tip. This application allows direct application without waste any product at all. I'm wiling to let the bothersome nature of this application pass due to it's fabulous-ness. A regular pump bottle would've worked just as well. 

Aging Corrector Skin Milk Conditioner

According to the product description, goat milk (of which main substance is biologically similar to human breast milk), ceramide, and milk protein extract are easily and smoothly absorbed by the skin to soften the dermal condition. Furthermore, niacinamide, vitamin C and white flower lily of the valley, and magnolia flower can help brighten skin.

There are plenty of wonderful ingredients in this conditioner, which is a lotion (or a toner) with a water-like texture that just absorbs perfectly into the skin. I have been applying this for the past month and my skin is always super soft after application. It absorbs without leaving a sticky residue and it actually one of the first conditioners that I've ever used that's given me instantly baby soft skin.

Aging Corrector Skin Milk Facial Lotion


The aging corrector skin milk facial lotion continas argan oil and avocado oil, which can boost the balance between skin oil and moisture. In addition, it contains goat milk extract to maintain skin elasticity. Like the conditioner, it contains niacinamide, vitamin c, white flower complex extracted from peony flower, lily of the valley flower, and lily magnolia flower which provides whitening. 

There is a little less product in this lotion compared to the conditioner, but I can see it lasting a lot longer since it has a creamy emulsion-like texture that doesn't require too much for my whole face. I have been using a single pump that I add with Olivarriier Squalene oil, which allows both products to spread wonderfully on my skin and create a protective barrier (of sorts). ^^ That means most days, I can just end my routine with this.

Gobdigoun 3D Black Science Mask

According to it's description, this Gobdigoun 3D Mask is designed to seamlessly fit facial surface to help the 3D Black Science Mask boost the absorption of nutritional ingredients into dermal layers. Furthermore, its systematic structure covers for all parts of the skin. This product contains volcanic mineral and diamond, as well as pumpkin and fruit extracts that can brighten and purify the skin tone.

Gobdigoun Water Balloon Aqua Mask

The aqua series mask is made from oleacrcea extra and with hazel flowers water, which improves skin hydration, soothes skin and increases skin elasticity as well as nourishment.

Gobdigoun Water Balloon Whitening Mask

The whitening series contains vitamin B3 extract, which is able to whiten skin.

Current Skin Routine

Right now, I'm using the Goat Milk Aging Corrector Skin Milk Conditioner, Aging Corrector Skin Milk Facial Lotion and the 24k Cream. In the mornings, I add a sunscreen while I add the eye cream at night. ^^ 

My skin has definitely improved since I started using this! I look forward to using all the steps in my skincare routine and will review each product individually. ^^
