I've seen a few bloggers buzz about Eres Tu's launching here in the Philippines last year and their initial impressions look promising. When I ran out of my moisturizer last week, I finally went ahead and purchased their Always Young & Beautiful Restorative Day & Night Cream. Here's my review!

Ingredients:
Distilled Water, Butylene Glycol, Cyclopentasiloxane, PEG-10 Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Dimethicone, Niacinamide, Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Centella Asiatica Extract, Polygonum Cuspidatum Root Extract, Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root (Licorice) Root Extract, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Trehalose, 1,2-Hexanediol, Ganoderma Lucidum (Mushroom) Extract, Cornus Officinalis Fruit Extract, Phaseolus Radiatus Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Rheum Undulatum Root/Stalk/Stem Extract, Cnidium Officinale Root Extract, Sesamum Indicum (Sesame) Seed Extract, Angelica Dahurica Root Extract, Artemisia Princeps Leaf Extract, Sodium Chloride, Glycerin/Hydrolyzed Glycosaminoglycans, Allantoin, Perfume, Tocopheryl Acetate, Adenosine.
The ingredients list on the label has some mistakes in it (like duplicate ingredients, spacing, etc) so I took the liberty of correcting it as I see fit. Anyway, the list is looooong! Out of 31 ingredients, 16 of them are from plants -- rich in herbal extracts indeed!
Adenosine is the peptide they're talking about. I hope it does have an effect on anti-aging because as you can see, it's the last on their list. Other ingredients that stood out to me include niacinamide (for whitening), and allantoin (for skin soothing). Trehalose, glycerin & glycosaminoglycans act as moisturizers while Tocopheryl Acetate (Vit E) acts as an antioxidant.
The third, fourth, fifth and seventh ingredients (Cyclopentasiloxane, PEG-10 Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Dimethicone and Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone) are all silicone-based ingredients. They're there for skin-conditioning and to prevent moisture from escaping. They're also the stuff responsible for making skincare products have that smooth, silky feel.
Here's the Cosdna analysis of the ingredients. If you are sensitive to any of the ingredients, please refrain from using the product!
The packaging is easy to open and reseal but you do have to be careful when handling the cap. I broke the tiny squiggly plastic line connecting the cap and the pouch together. I lost it a couple days later, haha. 😆 Losing the cap is not really an issue for me because the hole is tiny and the contents are just enough for one week of use. I just kept the pouch in a non-dusty place.
The cream is a white gel that thins out once spread. However, unlike most gels, this one won't breakdown and get too watery. The texture is like a primer and moisturizer rolled into one. It feels like there's a smooth, silky, slippery film forming on top of my skin when I was spreading it, but at the same time, I can also feel it hydrating my skin, if that makes sense.
The third pic on my swatch above is a couple of minutes after I massaged the cream in. The back of my hand has absorbed most of the moisture leaving the shiny, slippy but non-sticky film on top. Fourth pic is after I let the product settle in for a few more minutes. My skin has further absorbed the cream and the finish looks dewy and not as greasy as before.
This product is indeed effective as a moisturizer. My skin feels soft, smooth and hydrated and it's confirmed by my moisture test. There's a 17% increase in hydration as you can see from my results above. I think this will suit people with dry to normal skin.
For its other claims, I don't see notable results when it comes to fine lines and dark spots. One pouch is just enough for twice a day, one week of use and I think I definitely need more than a week to see results in those areas.

VERDICT
Overall, this is a budget-friendly Korean skincare product that does its job as a moisturizer. The spill-free tiny pouch is perfect for traveling. If I ran out of moisturizer again, I'll consider getting this again. You can buy Eres Tu products at Watsons and SM Beauty sections.Have you tried this cream? How's your experience? Let me know!
