Atomy Skin Care 6 System & Instructions

In my never ceasing quest for more stuff to buy (somebody help me!) I have found another new brand to tell them to TAKE MY MONEY! Atomy is my new found play thing. The first set that I got was the Atomy Skin Care 6 System. Called 6 system because there are 6 items in there. When I came home with this, it really felt like Christmas morning. Except it's not Christmas and it was about 10pm at night. The excitement of opening this however, was comparable.




Atomy Skin Care 6 System is made with all natural ingredients extracted from plants in their natural state. Now as much as I hate jumping on the Korean beauty product bandwagon, I have to say that Korean products are more suitable for my skin. It could be because they were formulated for Asian skin instead of Caucasian skin, resulting in products that are less harsh. 

Another interesting point about Atomy skin care products is that they are produced by high purification technology and biotechnology derived from fermentation science (whatever that means!). Long story short is they say the have done research at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, Kolmar BNH Co. Ltd. and Kolmar Korea Co. Ltd. To be perfectly honest, they can say whatever they like about what's been done to develop the product, but what's really important is what it does for my skin. So we already know it's au natural and I think that's good, no harsh chemicals = two thumbs up. Now let's move on to the goodies shall we?!




The 6 items in the goody box are:
1. Toner - Trouble Care
2. Eye Cream - Wrinkle Improvement
3. Essence - Nutrition Care
4. Lotion - Moisturising Care
5. Cream - Aging Care
6. BB Cream - Broad Spectrum SPF30

I've listed it in the order that it is to be applied. I did promise that this is also an instructional since I didn't find any instructions on the bottles like you normally do, I thought it might be handy to give a quick run through for your convenience. You can find YouTube videos online about how to use, but if you're reading this, it might take you only a minute (for people who like to cut to the chase).

Reviews & Instructions by Product:
1. Toner - This toner has a slightly thicker than water, liquid consistency, to be used after cleansing. It also removes any residue that might not have been cleansed off properly. Skin feels very refreshed and clean after, smooth to the touch and not sticky. Feels like there's nothing there. I really like this Toner! 
To use: 2 pumps, spread all over face and neck, massaging into skin

2. Eye Cream - This is especially important for people in their mid thirties where wrinkles are starting to form. The important thing that people overlook is that they should begin using these creams BEFORE the wrinkles occur. After is a little late. It's like doing corrective action instead of preventative action. Very slight sticky feeling after application but not too bad. Eye Creams have to be thick to moisturise the eye area which has thinner skin compared to the rest of the face. Once the skin is moisturised, stretching from facial movements like smiling will not cause micro tears in the skin which after repeated times, cause wrinkles. 
To use: Dab a small amount, you can use a clean cotton bud, massage the area above and below the eyes in a circular motion. Be careful not to use too much as using too much eye cream can cause milia seeds (little bumps around the eye area, like little oil seeds under the skin)

3. Essence - This essence is a medium weight cream that is 100% nano particles that can penetrate deep into the skin. By being able to penetrate into the deeper layers of the epidermis, the essence can nourish the skin beyond just the outer most layer. This also feels only slightly sticky after application but thirsty skin starts to feel quenched from here on.
To use: 2 pumps, spread all over face and neck, massaging into skin avoiding eye area

4. Lotion - This lotion is developed by fermentation life science and attracts moisture in the air into the skin, thus continuously moisturising the skin. This lotion is similar to the toner consistency wise, except this is white and the toner is sort of colourless. It goes onto the skin smoothly and like all creams, has a slight sticky feeling upon touching.
To use: 2 pumps, spread all over face and neck, massaging into skin avoiding eye area

5. Cream - This is the thickest of all the 5 skin care products in this set. The thick cream consistency is due to the skin protection ingredient and helps gives skin elasticity. This cream although has a sticky feeling after, is very suitable for dry skin types or if you're in the aircon all day at work and at night while you sleep. This feels super moisturising and skin feels nourished.
To use: Dab a small amount on finger, or again you can use a clean cotton bud, massage all over the face and neck, avoiding eye area

6. BB Cream - This is quite a nice product that gives light coverage of blemishes, feels moisturising and has SPF30. Colour sort of works even though I'm quite fair but doesn't give that pasty white look that some other BB creams do.
To use: Squeeze a small amount onto finger and spread evenly over face, if it feels a bit too wet/sticky after smoothing out or if you don't like the dewy look, you can use a piece of tissue and gently lay it over ur face and press lightly. This actually works really well and creates a matte look instead of the dewy look.

Just bear with me a while more, I know this is quite a long post but I feel all the things are quite essential. My skin can get quite oily and is plagued with a lot of blackheads *cry*. But you may or may not already know that skin becomes oily because it is dry. Sounds weird I know, but it makes total sense. You body thinks the skin is try to it revs up the oil production to compensate for the dryness. This increase in oil is partially contributing to my blackheads. The other factor contributing to my blackheads I imagine would be due to improper cleansing. 

I've used the Atomy Skin Care 6 System for a week now. I can feel my skin slowly changing (for the better *yay*). I feel it's less sticky after application and my skin feels bouncier. I think this is from the Cream, which is really good. Means my skin is absorbing all the stuff I'm applying. I use this twice a day, morning and evening (although BB cream only in the day).

How to buy? It's an online store, the one I use is www.atomy.com.sg and I have signed up for membership to get some discounts (shopaholics like me need it!). Membership costs nothing and there's no monthly spend amounts to maintain your membership account so no worries there. This set if purchased alone costs SGD$220. Sounds expensive but there are 6 luxury skin care products in there, so works out to SGD$37 a piece right? But of course I buy a few at a time to get it at a highly discounted rate. If you need help signing up, you can contact me here. 

The next thing I will try and buy the Atomy Evening Care Set, that way I can properly cleanse and deep cleanse my skin before using the Atomy Skin Care 6 System and see if the condition of my skin improves.

Meanwhile, all you Atomy fans, happy shopping!

  1. Hi Jessica,

    Very detailed review. I'm a slightly oily faced girl with occasional pimples popping on my face due to food or stress/ lack of sleep. Will this skin care suitable for my face? I'm not sure if my face is moisturized enough as my wrinkles beginning to come out. I use power to absorb my face oil. Could that be the reason wrinkles forming/ or is it I'm not hydrated enough and thus, my skin tends to be oily because of that?

    1. Hi Grace,

      Thank you for reading my blog :)
      From what you have described, the wrinkles forming and oily skin is very likely to be the cause of under hydrating. Sorry to hear that you are experiencing the same skin troubles as me.

      You can try using this to see if it improved, but just note that change won't happen overnight. After the first night of using this, I did feel that my skin felt plumper. Like my skin felt full. I have very sensitive skin so I do like that these are gentle on my skin.

      You should also ensure that you drink enough water each day, something we often overlook. Avoid oily/ fried foods, sugar, you know all those yummy things that are bad for us... Last but most important adequate rest. Another point overlooked is our bedding. We should ideally change our bedsheets every week... if you must stretch it then two weeks is maximum.

      Hope this helps and enjoy your atomy journey!
      Jess xoxo

  9. Hi! How long does a set last to you? Planning to buy but it's kinda pricey so I'm thinking if it lasts long to be worth it :)

    1. Hi Nikki,
      I totally understand about the pricing issue, only because to qualify for the discounts, I had to buy 4 sets at a time and it was just a lot of money at one go. individually the items are not expensive actually. the set lasts me about maybe 4 months, so for me it's still ok. and I shower like 4 times a day so my usage is quite high. hope this helps!
      otherwise you can buy with some friends then share.

  13. Hi Carol, I use the facial cleanser from the Evening Care 4 Set. It's gentle enough and I use it as many times as I need during the day without it drying out my skin (fyi: some days I take 4 showers). hope this helps!

  14. Hi, I have started using the 6 system 2 weeks ago and I have lots of breakouts on both sides of my face suddenly....... May I know what happen? shall I stop using it?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Oh dear! I'm sorry to hear of your breakouts. It could be due to many reasons. Mostly breakouts are due to improper cleansing. especially after using bb cream, it's very important to use makeup remover. another possibility is that you're applying too much cream. you might also be allergic but that generally will cause rashes and not breakouts. it could also be due to other external factors - change in weather, eating habits, have you changed your pillow case?
      i hope it gets better soon!

      Delete
    2. I've temporary stopped using it... breakouts are drying out~ I didn't use the BB cream, too fair for me.. I will try maybe using it again.. see how! Thanks anyway~

  16. Hi thank you for the review, may i ask after the evening 4 set, do u proceed with 6 system set? Or just leave the face as is after the peel off mask?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. hello! Hope the review helps. Yes I proceed with the 6 system after the peel off mask. Unless you leave the mask on overnight. Leaving the mask on overnight is something I wouldn't personally do as I feel it dries out the skin too much.

  17. Hello! First time to use a detailed skincare set here. I wanted to ask that after you wash your face and set on to put the products, do you have to wash it off with water afterwards? Say you have put on product number two, and after maybe 5 minutes you have to put product number three.. Or you just have to put it over another product? Sorry I've been just a wash my face with soap girl and never tried this. My mom is encouraging me to try this because she bought me one too. Thanks.

    1. hello :)
      not you don't have to wash off, you just layer on after massaging it into the skin a little. wouldn't take more than a couple of minutes between each product.
      it's a good question, feel free to ask as much as you need. hope these products work well for you :)

  18. Thank you so much for this review. It is a big help. Maam would you mind if I share this on our page? I will just copy the link of your blog?

  19. Its good to know it works well for you! I'm 30 and have been using this set for 3 months, every day. I am oily skin type, have no acne, just pimples here and there. Pretty much able to control my face oils since my late teen years. The first month using the set was great, I felt my skin being more supple and firm. But starting my 3rd month in, my face started become more oily, and uncontrollable too. I saw advice from friends and they told me it could be lack of hydration in the skin. I suspect the toner or the serum since I found it tacky to use and thought it could be clogging my skin to breath. I stopped using the whole set and my face went back to normal.

    My bf has dry skin and started using it. The first day immediately after using them, he broke out. He said the cream had a tingly sensation for him. I thought he may be allergic, but after he took a week's break, he went back on it and has been completely fine since. He said its helping him with the dry skin. He's been using it for 6 weeks now and likes it, but still prefer hado labo products.

    Just for other commenters interested to read for more research.

  21. how about for oily face ? is it ok to use the 6 systems ?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Hi Meiliawati! Yes it's ok to use the 6 system. Normally we have oily skin because our skin is dry. So the skin produces more oil to try and compensate. Remember to moisturise and keep hydrated!
