From Urban Outfitters’ new skincare collection. We tried them, and gave them a rating on the highly scientific hipster-mullet scale.
TONYMOLY Egg Pore Blackhead Out Oil Gel, $16
What is is: A gel with little exfoliating bits, promising to reduce blackheads and soothe with Camellia flower extracts and botanic nutrients.
What we thought: Total honesty — the main appeal of this product is its packaging. OMG IT'S AN EGG WHAT COULD POSSIBLY BE INSIDE? (It's a gel inside.) I suppose the imagery of that yolk coming through a shell kind of imitates a zit coming out. TONYMOLY is a South Korean beauty brand and they do branding very well. Everything is cute. As for its effectiveness, I have STUBBORN FUCKING BLACKHEADS. They're small and they never, ever come out. This really didn't help much. I think if you used this every day for like two weeks, you might see a difference. But it's a fun thing to have in your bathroom.

The Face Shop Chia Seed Moisture Holding Face Cream, $34
What it is: From the Urban website, this fascinating description says it has: "freshly germinated chia seeds in water drops that fully hydrate your skin. The innovative chia water drop busts the moment they touch the skin to fully hydrate deeply."
What we thought: OK, so from that description, I imagined some weird type of bubble that would burst when you put it on your skin and SO MUCH FUN would ensue. Whatever "bursting" that occurs, you can't see it. However. This moisturizer is unlike anything else I've tried. The consistency is hard to describe. It's silky ... and creamy? It goes on lightweight, but is also dewy? Whatever it is, it is MEGA MOISTURE.
