As part of my initiative to introduce cosmetic reviews on the blog, I have chosen to start with two essentials: daily cream and sleeping mask.
BETA GLUCAN DAILY MOISTURE CREAM
Since the beginning of this year, I have been looking for new skin care products and I have turned to the Iunik brand, especially to the ultra-moisturizing daily cream. Beta-glucan is one of my favorite active ingredients in this super cream.
When I say that it is my favorite, I just want to emphasize that it is ideal for my normal skin. Sometimes my skin is dry in some areas and periods of the year, but it is sensitive to many cosmetic ingredients from the industry. My T-zone is prone to being shiny during the summer.
It is now an official part of my skin care routine as I use it every day. A high-quality moisturizer, which does not leave the skin greasy and is reasonably priced. There is no specific scent, so it does not contain perfumes or essential oils, so I can use it on my sensitive skin.
The Feel
This cream-gel feels very soft on the skin and has a rich texture without being sticky. It glides easily and feels extremely comforting.
My face remains slightly shiny immediately after applying the cream and may take a few minutes (2-5 minutes) to be completely absorbed into the skin.
Star Ingredients
The ingredient list in my opinion is very well selected to provide deep hydration and strengthen the skin’s natural barrier. Very briefly; beta-glucan has a moisturizing and calming effect. Slightly minimizes redness of the skin and the signs caused by sun damage.
Centella Asiatica potentiates its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
The presence of red fruit extracts in this cream strengthens its antioxidant, calming and anti-wrinkle effects.
How I Apply It
It seems to me a suitable choice for the spring-summer season, being a light and comfortable cream. I apply it at any time of the day, immediately after rinsing/cleansing or possibly after a toner.
At times I choose to apply a serum with amino acids or hyaluronic acid before the beta-glucan cream.
For me, it works well before makeup, though it is more accurate to say before tinted sunscreen or a BB cream.
In Conclusion
Beta-glucan daily moisturizer is really effective given what it promises.
Also, the container and packaging design are simple and pleasant to use every time.
Last but not least, this cream is a product that your whole family can use.

PROPOLIS VITAMIN SLEEPING MASK
My skin looks visibly healthier after using the propolis Iunik mask, and it is very moisturizing.
Despite the fact that my skin is normal, I tend to see dehydration in some areas and oiliness in the T-zone in the summer, so I was intrigued by this mask.
It has taken me a very short time to notice that this product increases moisture and supplies essential nutrients to tired skin. It is especially useful as a night mask.
The Feel
It has a pleasant texture, quite creamy, slightly like Vaseline, but feels light at the same time.
Initially, it is advisable to test the amount you want to apply, although it is absorbed quickly into the skin. Due to its consistency, this masks glides harder, but I see this as only part of its charm.
Star Ingredients
Propolis extract is one of the most prominent active ingredients, which has antibacterial properties as well as anti-pollution properties and strengthens the skin’s natural protective barrier. It is a good sebum regulator, but also very rich in countless nutrients.
The ingredients list is followed by Centella Asiatica, a very potent active ingredient, with countless benefits in certain anti-wrinkle treatments and for healing the skin, etc.
A great addition to this mask is the Hippophae Rhamnoides fruit extract, more precisely Sea Buckthorn or Seaberry. It is described as a very good source of antioxidant vitamins, like vitamin C, some forms of vitamin B, vitamin E and other active compounds.
This list can go on and on, but I will leave the rest up to you to explore on your own. If you want additional information, you can always leave me a message, through the form provided on my Contact page.
How I Apply It
I apply this mask only in the evening, when cell regeneration is stronger, and indeed you wake up the next day with a much more nourished and radiant skin. After cleansing the skin, I use a toner and serum, followed by the propolis mask.
The seasons don’t affect how I use it because it seems to be multifunctional.
In Conclusion
Works well for all skin types, including a more sensitive skin.
It comes at a good price, especially in relation to the results offered; meaning a smoother and repaired skin, a more moisturized complexion, with fewer irritations or sunspots.
Guaranteed you will feel how your skin is pampered and protected!
