My Experience with Etude House Calming Cheek Patch:

I had hauled some skin care products from Etude House some time ago. Etude House Calming Cheek Patch was one of them. The concept of a cheek patch was quite intriguing so I could not resist buying it. So, now let’s see how this product works.

Let’s begin with the packaging of the product. All Korean brands come up with very cute and attractive packaging. This pair of cheek patches also comes in a very cute and vibrant pink colored plastic pouch with cute prints on it in white color. There is some product related information printed on the top in the Korean language while the back of the packet bears all necessary product related information in both Korean and English. This packet houses a transparent plastic tray, which has the cheek patches. Overall, the packaging is super cute and travel-friendly.

The patches are circular in shape and are made up of a gelatinous material. There is a cute facial feature printed on it, which makes it look cute and interesting. There is a sticky gel side on the patch, which is covered with a normal sheet. To apply this patch simply remove the outer sheet and apply the gel side on the cheeks. Now, press firmly and remove bubbles if any. Leave this for around 20 minutes and later massage the left out essence into the skin until fully absorbed. The patch stays at the place and sticks to the skin very well.

It has a very strong fruity and alcoholic type fragrance, which is surely strong but bearable. I personally dislike its fragrance. However, the patches give a nice cooling and soothing sensation to my skin. The changing weather has made my skin slightly dry. This product turned out to be super amazing for moisturizing my dry cheeks. After removing these patches, my skin felt soft to touch and really smooth. All the dryness and dullness of my skin was gone.

There was no residue behind. It does not make my skin greasy or break me out at all. My skin stayed moisturized and hydrated almost throughout the day after using these patches. I love how cute these patches look on the face. It is such a fun product. Though I liked the results it gave, I personally feel that the same results can be achieved using a good sheet mask as well for my combination skin.

So overall, it is just a fancy product for me. But for someone with super dry skin and skin drying up due to harsh winters, this product is great to eliminate dryness from the cheeks instantly without any fuss. Also, I find such stuff great while travelling. Overall, I have mixed feelings about this product. I may not use it regularly but I am surely including it in my travel skin care regimen.
