Review: Baviphat Fruit Gels

Korean brand Baviphat stole my heart and bathroom counter space with their adorable line of fruit gels.  Incredibly affordable at about $13 each (which includes shipping to the U.S.), each gel has a different purpose.  The ones I’ll be covering today are:  Apple AC Therapy Sleeping Pack, Peach All-in-One Waterfull Cream, and Paprika Pore Solution Sleeping Pack.

Each of these are housed in an absolutely precious fruit/vegetable-shaped jar.  The jars are incredibly sturdy, and can be washed out and reused.  My daughter has already laid claim to these three.  Each jar is quite large, being roughly the same size as the produce it represents.  There is a small lid inside each, with holds a plastic spoon.  I scoop out the gel with the spoon, and then wash and dry the spoon before putting it back.  It keeps the gel from being contaminated with fingers.  Each gel has a difference scent, and although it’s a strong scent, it does fade, albeit slowly.  However, the scent is a selling point for me because I think they smell delicious!

The Apple AC Therapy Sleeping Pack is scented like apples.  A Sleeping Pack is a mask that one wears overnight, and is meant to be washed or rinsed off the next morning.  The gel goes on clear so it can be worn without staining pillowcases.  The Apple AC Therapy Sleeping Pack is recommend for “trouble skin” and also gently exfoliates, so skin looks bright and soft the next day.  I had no problems with breaking out, in fact, my skin seems clearer when I use it, and while most chemical exfoliators bother my sensitive skin, this one works brilliantly.  The Apple Sleeping Pack made a noticeable difference in my skin’s texture and appearance.  I would easily pay double for it.

The Paprika Pore Solution Sleeping Pack is scented like fruit punch, and is similar to the Apple Sleeping Pack in appearance.  It is for pore tightening, sebum control, and allowing the skin to retain elasticity.  While pores can’t be opened or closed, my pores do appear smaller when using the Paprika Sleeping Pack because the sebum control is exceptional.  I can wear foundation all day long with no breakthrough oil if I use the Paprika Sleeping Pack the night before.  Again, I’ve had no breakouts using this product, and the superior oil control makes this one my favorite for everyday use.  I use the Apple Sleeping Pack about every three days, and the Paprika Sleeping Pack the rest of the week.

The Peach All-in-One Waterfull Cream smells amazing, like peach yogurt.  Although it has “cream” in the name, this is also a gel.  It’s meant to be used in the place of moisturizer.  It’s not a heavy moisturizer, so I would not recommend this for anyone dealing with dry skin.  Also, being a gel moisturizer, it feels a bit sticky on the skin until fully absorbed.  I’ll only use this gel if I have plenty of time to get ready, because sometimes it can take 10-15 minutes for the tackiness to go away.  Of the three, this is my least favorite, and although it works well as a lightweight moisturizer, I have others that do the job better, and I don’t plan to repurchase this one.  The Paprika Pore Solution Sleeping Pack and Apple AC Therapy Sleeping Pack will be repurchased as needed, and I plan to branch out to other Baviphat skin care products.

I purchased these from Bellogirl on eBay.
