I try to mark the sunscreen ingredients in red and other possible irritants in lilac. Ingredients thought to be good and useful for skin I mark green. Learning as I go, google is my friend etc...
Thoughts:
- Korres Wild Rose Sleeping Facial doesn't feel hydrating or moisturizing, strangely. So maybe it's meant to be more like a repairing occlusive, but...
- ... where I apply it, skin actually feels in a couple of minutes more dry and tight! The feeling dissipates after some hours. I always apply it on top of my serums and moisturizer, so it absolutely feels like it's sucking the moisture out of the skin.
- Not a product for people with asthma or other scent sensitivities, now this fragrance is strong and lingers almost the whole night. Even my man noted "you smell".
- First time I used it, I immediately developed some red blotches on my other cheek. However can't say they were related to this cream as that didn't happen again, they weren't itchy and were gone next morning.
- Didn't notice brighter skin by morning. But I use many things with active ingredients.
+ The cream feels luxurious, very smooth, almost buttery, just melts on your face. Very much A+ for this!
+ The fragrance grew on me despite being off putting at first. So in the end I quite liked it. I guess it's trying to smell like roses (?) but I don't even know, it's strange deep floral, stuffy, chemical, musky.
+ Doesn't leave the typical sleeping mask stickiness or film on face. You can apply it a couple of minutes before going to bed.
+ Skin feels soft in the morning, but nothing unusual.

* Korres Wild Rose Sleeping facial is a bit weird product. It boasts a lot of things (evens skintone, repairs fine lines, heals, softens, moisturizes...) but doesn't really deliver. I'm not sure if it does anything. So I feel like I am somewhat stupid, have I missed something? Maybe that's why it has been discontinued with this name at least. Is Wild Rose Brightening & First Wrinkles Advanced Repair Sleeping Facial the new name? The ingredients are almost the same, except for example rose canina fruit oil has been moved up. Maybe the new formula is better!
* I am going to use the sleeping facial sample to the end, as it seems like it's not making my skin worse and not breaking me out much, maybe a bit on my forehead at least. It has a lot of fungal acne triggers.
* Would be interesting to try something else from Korres. I often hear the name. But maybe I should just get sample sizes if possible and stay with shower products to be safe. Also their tube designs for facial masks (Damask Rose, Goji Berry...) are very cute!

No.
Worth the money?
I don't think it is for me. Maybe I just don't belong in the target group. I'm not sure what the target group is though. Oily skin that is not sensitive? If I didn't know the price of the product, I would've guessed something like 10-15 € / 40 ml. But if you want brighter skin, maybe go for vitamin c products, for example The Ordinary's Ethylated Ascorbic Acid (30 ml/18 €) that I love, or maybe for pure cold pressed rose hip seed oil (The Ordinary 30 ml/9,80 €) that is both moisturizing and brightening for me, and way more effective than Korres Wild Rose Advanced Sleeping Facial.
