JULLAI: Super 7 Moisture Hydrating Gel, Super 12 Bounce Cleansing Oil & Essence Oil Toner

I get really excited every time Glow Recipe launches a new brand because they really curate their brands well. I bought all three of these items earlier this year and have been playing with them for a few months. The JULLAI Super 7 Moisture Hydrating Gel is a gel and serum hybrid with lactic acid and probiotics. Details per Glow Recipe:

Fight free radical damage with the Super 7 complex of antioxidants and good-for-the-skin probiotics. Lactobacillus and Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein work to fortify the skin's barrier against environmental aggressors which cause damage and dryness; Ylang-Ylang Oil detoxifies and soothes blemishes, even helping to prevent future breakouts; and Super 7 Complex—a gentle, grain-based, slow cold-brewed mix of 7 ingredients— Quinoa Extract, Chia Seed Extract, Oatmeal Extract, Flowering Quince Extract, Pumpkin Seed Extract, Baobab Seed Extract, and Linseed Extract—help deeply nourish, soothe, and give much-needed TLC to inflamed, sensitive skin.

Jullai's ethos is about achieving that healthy, glowing summer skin all year round. The brand uses an innovative cold slow-brew method where each ingredient is individually soaked in cold water for 7 days to capture the maximum benefits naturally. The super lightweight moisturizer that your skin needs to stay hydrated and look glowy all year round. The Super 7 Complex is formulated with an array of superfood grains that are gentle on the skin, helping to assist with calming, soothing and moisturizing benefits.

This has an almost bouncy gel like texture. It's kind of fun to use. I love the airless pot pump packaging it comes in. I like using these types of products after all my serums but under my oils and creams/lotions. It adds a nice hydrating layer. This played well in layering with all other items I had no issues with pilling or anything. It's silicone free which is nice as not all gel creams are silicone free. This has a light fresh scent, nothing bothersome. This has bamboo water, sodium hyaluronate (hydrating), niacinamide (multitasking wonder), soybean seed extract (antioxidant, soothing), Japanese pepper, honeysuckle, Korean pasque flower, grapefruit, beta-glucan (soothing, hydrating), allantoin (soothing), jojoba esters, lactobacillus/soybean ferment (probiotic), white mulberry bark (natural salicylic acid), kava-kava, green tea (antioxidant, balancing), chamomile (soothing, calming), vitamin E (antioxidant) & ceramide NP (hydrating).

Now that's excluding the fillers and texturizers. This isn't the cleanest product but most K Beauty is not. It's got denatured alcohol, a PEG or more and potassium hydroxide which is not my favorite pH balancer (it can be really harsh on the skin same as denatured alcohol). That being said I didn't experience any irritation or dryness while using this, my skin felt hydrated and bouncy. I liked it overall and I'll use it up. It's not my number one favorite gel cream but it's pretty good. The bouncy jelly texture is quite fun as well.

 

The Super 12 Bounce Cleansing Oil is an effective oil cleanser. Details per Glow Recipe:

Double-cleansing without the double step, this hydrating oil cleanser dissolves makeup and dirt and quenches your skin thanks to a healthy blend of 12 powerful antioxidants. 

It's a common Korean beauty practice to do the double cleanse, which starts with an oil cleanser to fully remove oil-based makeup and SPF, then finishes with a gentle foaming cleanser to remove debris, pollution residue and grime. 

Directions Dispense 1~2 pumps of cleansing oil into your palm and gently massage into dry skin in a circular motion. Emulsify with lukewarm water, then rinse off.

Ingredients

Zea Mays (Corn) Germ Oil, Camellia Sinensis Seed Oil, Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, Macadamia Integrifolia Oil, Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil,Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Moringa Oleifera Leaf Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract, Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Paeonia Suffruticosa Root Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Lactobacillus Ferment, Squalene, Aniba Rosaeodora (Rosewood) Wood Oil,Citrus Nobilis (Mandarin Orange) Oil, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Oil, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil, Spirulina Platensis Extract

 

This oil cleanser comes in a matte white pump style package that's well done. I like the minimalist lettering JULLAI uses. This cleansing oil has a pretty heavy texture. It will easily remove all makeup with ease. It's got a light fresh scent from the natural oils. The oils in the cleanser are all nice, it's a clean inci list. Being a heavier cleanser it needs a cloth to remove for sure, this does not emulsify. I don't know why the description says it does, I don't even see any emulsifiers in it. This absolutely requires a second cleanse or a good scrubbing with a cloth. I never used it as a single cleanse because it was just such a heavy oil cleanser. It works well and does the job, but it was not my favorite oil cleanser by far.

 

The Super 12 Bounce Essential Oil Toner is the start of the show. This is a toner and serum in one essence. Details per Glow Recipe:

Featuring a potent Super 12 complex rich in antioxidants, this with anti-aging all-in-one serum toner provides feather-light hydration for all-day skin moisture. Blue Oil Capsules filled with Sea Buckthorn fruit oil, Jojoba seed oil, and Aloe extract are suspended in the formula-- giving it its nickname, The Blue Toner. When patting the toner on the skin, the capsules burst to provide further immediate, intensive layers of hydration throughout the day and night.

The Super 12 complex is formulated with antioxidant-packed ingredients to help assist with anti-aging, firming and moisturizing benefits.

This essence is amazing. I adore it. It's got a hydrating thicker liquid base, very essence like. The best part is these little blue beads that burst on contact with the skin. I love the idea and it's just plain fun. The blue beads have aloe, jojoba and sea buckthorn oil in them. Once you apply this to your skin they mix with the essence and absorb right into the skin. The essence base has quite a long inci list. I'll just go over my favorite parts. Cauliflower extract (new to me and not finding a whole lot on what it does), artichoke leaf (firming), chia seed (antioxidant), glycerin (hydrating), spirulina (antioxidant, detox from chlorophyll), sea buckthorn water (antioxidant), tomato fruit extract (powerful antioxidant with lycopene, new favorite ingredient of mine), apple fruit water (hydrating), olive oil (soothing, hydrating, antioxidant), aloe (soothing, hydrating), jojoba (hydrating), turmeric (powerful antioxidant), agave (anti-inflammatory, regenerating) and sodium hyaluronate (hydrating).

The Super 12 Complex ingredients are: Tomato Extract, Cauliflower Extract, Sweet Almond Extract, Blackberry Extract, Magnolia Berry Extract, Bayberry Fruit Extract, Spirulina Extract, Artichoke Leaf Extract, Pomegranate Extract, Wintergreen Leaf Extract, Chia Seed Extract, and Balloon Flower Extract. Now this one has alcohol and some PEGs too so it's not the cleanest formulation. That being said I didn't find it drying at all so I'm OK with the alcohol in it. I wish it wasn't in there but it's OK in the long run. I found this essence gave me super hydrated bouncy skin and I love it. It's fun. It's unique and if you get one item from the brand go for this one. I may be biased cause you all know how much I love my essences but it's unique and that's my top pick from the brand.
