When I entered my 30's, I started to pay more attention to my skin and my skin care needs. I've become fussier actually, and follow a 10-step regimen consisting mostly of Korean skin care brands.

| Laneige Multiberry Yogurt Pack. |
Just recently, I've incorporated the Laneige Multiberry Yogurt Pack into my 'seemingly endless' (as my husband jokingly puts it) skin care routine. I bought this on a whim the last time I was in Seoul; I was somehow sweet-talked by one of the staff at the Laneige store in Myeongdong, claiming that this product is (in verbatim) "very good, your skin will look more healthy". She let me take a sniff of the pack, and I was sold! I dished out 22000 Korean won for this product, around Php 950 or $19.

I'm a sucker for strawberry-scented products, and this pack smells a lot like my favorite
Binggrae Strawberry Milk. Not surprising since this product contains a complex of berry extracts which includes
strawberry,
raspberry,
cranberry, and
blueberry. These berries are known for their antioxidant properties that nourish and repair the skin.

This pack also contains a specialized fermented yogurt called
Sogurty™, which promotes collagen synthesis and reinforces the skin's barrier against the elements so that the skin stays healthy and supple.

In addition, this product contains
shea and
cocoa butter - both moisturizing emollients, and
glycerin and
squalene - both skin-repairing ingredients.

The product is housed in a pink tub, and comes with a spatula and an instructional pamphlet written in different languages.

| Product details and usage instructions in English. |
To use, 1) you need to wash your face first with your usual cleanser then prep the skin with your usual toner. 2) Take an ample amount of the product and spread it on the face while avoiding the eye area. 3) Leave it on for at least 5-10 minutes (I usually let it sit on my face for 15 minutes or so), and then 4) rinse it off with lukewarm water afterwards.

| Looks like yogurt. |
The pack has a creamy, yogurt-like consistency. It has a somewhat fluffy texture, making it easy to spread on the skin. It feels a bit sticky when applied, but that's okay since you're going to wash it off anyway.

| And looks yummy, too! :) |
The best part? You get immediate results! And it's safe for sensitive skin! :)
The first time I tried this pack, I had about five or six tiny bumps running along my jawline. They weren't zits or acneic bumps, and they weren't red or itchy or swollen or anything, but they bothered me nonetheless. I figured my skin needed not just an extra boost of hydration but also deep nourishment, so I turned to this 'repairing' pack for rescue.
This product did exactly that - my skin felt softer and looked healthier, and the bumps were not as prominent as they were before. After two uses, those annoying bumps were gone, like they never existed. I have never been so glad to have bought a skin care product on impulse, haha!
Laneige recommends using this once or twice a week together with the
Multiberry Yogurt Peeling Gel for best results. I, however, prefer using this alternately with my all-time favorite
Water Sleeping Mask. Both jars now have a special spot inside my fridge, because these masks feel even more refreshing on the skin when chilled.
Have you tried this pack before? What masks/packs do you use as part of your skin care regimen? :)
