IOPE is a brand from Amore Pacific. The medium high collection similar with Laneige and Mamonde.
The skin care range is more for older people, while Laneige and Mamonde are for younger people.
This is my first IOPE.
It is really best selling, sold 1 every 30 seconds in the world.
I also heard that it is featured in many magazines, got award, etc...
I am curious with this air cushion thing. and it is really good to know there is a compact sunblock with high SPF (it's 50!!). Since it is superrrr hot here in Bali, where I live, I don't like wearing cream sunblock.
*Sorry for blurry picture*
The box is thick because it contains the compact sunblock + FREE REFILL... Love it the free one.
You also get the small booklet for product description inside.
Description
It is 4 in 1 function: brightening, UV protection, make up, cooling.
The cooling effect is new to me, I never have cooling effect product before.
Really all in one product and what I need, I've been raving all along for this kind of product.
So without any doubtness, when Amore Pacific hold a discount for this one, I took it!
No.20 works as make up base
No.21 & 23 works as natural foundation
No.22 works as shimmer foundation
Packaging
The packaging is thick and made from shiny plastic with metal line along the product.
Classy packaging and look expensive.
It is bigger compared to usual compact powder / foundation because it has cushion in it.
If you see the bottom side, there's 'PUSH' letter means you can push it if you want to change the refill.
How to change the refill is written in the small booklet that given along with the product.
The manufacturing date also printed on the bottom.
This is a blue puff. The other side is still white, kinda like plastic a little bit, but the blue side is soft and made special for liquid or semi liquid product.
Innisfree, Etude House also has this kind of puff for their product.
Got a mini booklet for product description in many languages. It always does when it comes to mid high Amore Pacific's products.
The puff is inside and there is a partition so you won't worry that it will get dirty.
PLUS.. The partition is locking, you have to push it a bit hard until you hear a 'click' sound to make sure that you close it properly.
I think it was made to prevent the air cushion from drying.
There's a sticker seal when it's new, so you gotta know if you got a second product.
After that you can see the air cushion sunblock.
For the first time, I'm wondering what is air cushion??? What is look like???
Let's take a look!!!
Texture and Scent
So.. what do you think it looks like? Honeycomb.. That's what came across my mind.
It feels like sponge with very big p\pores, to get the product, you have to push it with the puff.
The liquid is inside the cushion.
By using the puff pressing the cushion, this is what you get on the puff. If you want more, you just have to push it harder and evenly.
Swatch
I chose No.22 Ice Shimmer Beige because I want something that has sparkles in it, which I need to brighten and give shimmer complexion but not so much.
This one is the only one that has shimmer in it.
You can't see the difference unless you spot it from near distance so it still suitable for daily look.
Can you spot the difference?
It is a sunblock that works amazingly!
When you applied it on your face, these are what happen:
1. It feels cool, the cooling effect works! Very suitable for summer and it also moisturizing
2. Brighten my skin tone. You can see that my skin got brighter with glowing complexion
3. Give sheer coverage. Because it also works as a foundation so it has coverage in it but not so much, it is sheer but I like it
4. Has shimmer in it, so you can use it for glamour look
Swatch on Face
**Picture alert**
I'll show you my bare face.. Hahaha *hide*
This is my bare face, just waking up in the morning wearing nothing *no edit*
I'm using IOPE Air Cushion Sunblock EX No.22 Ice Shimmer Beige only on the right side of my face only! Without wearing any moisturizer at all so you can see the difference it made.
My face is more glowing, whiter and my freckles are covered but not fully because it has sheer coverage.
No problem, you can add concealer or BB cream after. This sunblock can be used before or after make up and when you do the retouch.
This is a closer look of my face for before and after.
Pros
- 4 in 1 function: brightening, UV protection, make up, cooling.
- Compact so easy to bring
- Very suitable for summer
- Comes with refill
- Comes with 4 variants
Cons
- Sheer coverage, need more if you're expecting full coverage foundation
Overall
I love this one, this is what I've been raving for so long, because honestly I hate liquid sunblock.
So multifunction, when I'm in a hurry, just use this only and you can see the difference and get all in one in a product.
What do you think?
Do you like it?

Belum pernah denger dan pake brand ini hahaa.. >.<
ReplyDeletetapi bagus loh, aku suka hasilnya glowing" gitu.. coveragenya juga lumayan ya kayanya..
nice review ^^
looks interesting ^^ tp bulky jg yah >.<
ReplyDeletebeli dmn sis? brp?
coveragenya kl tipis2 lumayan tp kl utk flawless look kurang, masih butuh conceal ato BB cream lagi. Jd bs dipake sebelum or sesudah sunblock ini.
ReplyDeleteThanks.. your blog is awesome, too! Suda lama suka mampir kesana ^_^
Thanks ^_^
ReplyDeleteIya sama aku juga suka banget sama ini, next penasaran sama Laneige Snow BB Cushion, mirip banget n sering dicompare sama ini tapi lebih mahal >_<
Krn kulitku normal dry mungkin sis, n sebelum pake ini aku ga pake apa2. Kalau sudah pake moisturizer sblmnya lbh gampang blend kok. Aslinya tipis n ga heavy at all.
ReplyDeleteBeli di Gmarket Korea, sekitar $23 gitu
Great review...never heard of it before. :)

Wow, this is definitely an interesting product! I also wondered what a cushion would look like but yes, it does look like a honeycomb! :D It's super hot here in the Philippines too so this is a great product to try! Will definitely keep this in mind. I like how well it blends on your skin :)
ReplyDeleteThanks.. It will be better if you use moisturizer first for sure. :D
ReplyDeleteI also have my eye on Laneige Snow BB Cushion. All the cushion thing kinda booming right now
Wow. You've really done a great detailed review. I'm short of words in describing how appealing and easy-to-read this was. Perfect. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the images especially the glow it gives <3 This is so gorgeous indeed ... #GIGTag <3

Great review. I don't think I can find this product in the UK thought...
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to find outside Korea, I've to order it online :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, iya ni aku harus order dr Korea, di Indo belum masuk soalnya. Ini sheer coverage, kl laneige sma yg iope tp ex cover itu coveragenya lbh bgs :-)
ReplyDeleteyess.. I wanna try the Laneige too
ReplyDeleteMe too.. It's high SPF very useful
ReplyDeleteI am keen to try this product but am not sure what colour to choose. Am from Singapore and not as fair as Koreans. With a slight tan. Can I still use #22?
ReplyDeleteI'm not as fair as them too, but this shade is ok for me. It blends well and not leaving white cast
ReplyDeleteAmazing review, you are awesome. sokoglam.com sells this product and ships in 3 days to the US for $42.
ReplyDeleteIs this the newest version or the Air Cushion XP?
ReplyDeleteThat's s weird..the name are too close to each other and I don't even know which is which..currently, the one that I saw is Air Cushion XP , Air Cushion Sunblock EX-Cover, Air Cushion Sunblock XP...O.O
ReplyDeletewhere can i see the prices for those?? thank u :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure about the price now, but I think it's around $30. You can check on gmarket korea or ebay.

telat nih baru keracunan sekarang.. hahaha nice review dan sukses sekali bikin saya keracunan dengan glowy2 nya *____*
ReplyDeletebtw tapi sista skintone nya nc/nw berapa ya? pingin yg shimmer juga tp kan cuma ada 1 shade takut keputihan.. hihi
Shadenya banyak sis kl IOPE ini. Ini trmasuk yg putih. Ada yg nat beige juga kok. Emang bikin glowing gampang banget. Cm coverage bs + concealer lah. :). Kulitku light/nat sama2 masuk sih.
ReplyDeleteDimana ya Saya bisa Membeli IOPE ini? kalau di indonesia tempatnya dimana? kalau online yang bener2 terpercaya dimana?
ReplyDeleteDisini kurang tau ya. karena agak susah nyari barang ini. Dulu aku beli langsung di Korea sis. :) Coba aku cari masih ada apa ga
ReplyDeleteiya sis makasih ya. Kalau ada atau ada info kabari ya sis. soalnya emang susah saya nyari kemana2 gak ada. adanya marek lain.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the texture like? Is it sticky or tacky? I really dislike the feeling of either. Or (I'm hoping) does it dry into a powder or satiny finish? After wearing it for hours, does it start to look oily at all? Super curious about this product! Thanks in advance for any help!
ReplyDeleteHi michi, It's glowing finish and might be a little bit sticky. I feel like that bcoz I'm living in tropical climate up to 30 celcius. But with a little bit of powder it's good. I have dry skin so not oily. For oily skin maybe using blotting paper or powder on top is a must. Thanks
ReplyDeleteThat looks awesome! Do you any websites that sell c22 --I'm in America - I can't find C22 anywhere-everyone uses 21, which seems a bit light-I'm fair skinned with red undertones and want medium coverage. I'm a bit older so I don't think the "sparkles" would look as good on me, as they do on you.
ReplyDeleteHi maybe you can check shade 23? It's the one without sparkle. And the newest seri of this one has more coverage than mine. You can check online shop with free worldwide shipping such as w2beauty (you can check my post on them, I've discount code). Other shop maybe ibuybeauty. Thanks
