Gone are the days where subscription boxes were a trend.ย What will always be trendy is a good deal though and Jolse occasionally has their curated Jolse boxes that usually go for $40-44 for 5-7 full-size products, which is well worth the money!ย I’ve been meaning to try Cosrx’s green hero calming pad andย I was a bit curious about Torriden’s dive in serum which is suppose to be award-winning.ย Those two products were already the same price as the Jolse box itself, so I ended up just getting the box.ย In this unboxing, I’ll give you my brief thoughts on whether or not these products are worth picking up.ย Let’s go!
Here are the contents of the box that retailed for $40.00
–Torriden Dive-in Low molecule Hyaluronica acid serum
–Dr. Ceuracle AC care solution pink gel
-Holika Holika Prime youth black snail repair cleansing foam
–Isntree hyaluronic acid watery sun gel SPF 50+ PA++++
–B.Lab everyday A.C care mask pack

The mildest treatment
The pad is made of special soft fabric for sensitive skin.“
Notable ingredients: Green tea water, Centella Asiatica Extract, Witch Hazel leaf extract, Tea tree extract, Artemisia extract, Sodium Hyaluronate
I’ve been a huge fan of their moisture-up pads and have legit gone through 5-7 jars of the moisture-up version for the last couple of years.ย Since they’ve been coming out with more and more versions, I’m naturally curious and wanted to try them.ย The third sister of the line was this green hero calming pad and contains a lot of very lightweight ingredients with soothing effects.ย I personally didn’t find this to be that helpful and would much rather stick to toners and essences if I wanted a calming effect without producing more waste for the environment.ย With ingredients like white hazel leaf extract and tea tree extract, I think this version of the pads would work better for those with a combination to oily skin types as it would help control oil and breakouts.
B.Lab everyday AC mask pack $21 for 10 masks
“Experience them moisturizing and soothing care delivered by natural ingredients.
Carrot extract
Carrots, which are natural antioxidants, contain sulfuric acid, beta-carotene, and vitamin A.ย It helps transform rough skin texture to a soft and elastic texture and prevents breakouts by controlling excessive sebum secretion.
PHA
PHA, a hypoallergenic peeling ingredient that is excellent for binding moisture to hydrate the skin.ย It cares for sensitive skin and can be used every day without irritation.”
I’ve actually tried B.Labs masks prior, just not this AC version since I have dry skin and don’t need it to be more dried out.ย The ingredients sound really gentle on the skin, but I found all of the versions to be very light in hydration, including the honey version.ย I really liked the texture of the cotton, it was really soft on the skin and didn’t slip off my face either which was a nice touch.ย B.lab’s line of masks isn’t my favorite and they have other products like their cica cleanser and hair conditioner that worth your time.
Dr. Ceuracle AC care solution pink gel $13.00
“AC cure solution line is developed based on Dr. Ceuracle’s technology and science that understands the structure of skin as well as the main cause of each skin concern.ย With the systematic ranges of AC cure solutions your concerns can be solved, stage by stage.

So I’ve been thinking this product was some sort of serum but this is actually a cleanser :OOO.ย I’m not too sure about incorporating this into my routine but I could use this as a nose cleanser to help with my blackheads possibly?ย I’m not sure but I was naive to think I could use this product with my dry skin.
Isntree hyaluronic acid watery sun gel $26.00

Ceramide: protects against dryness by replenishing skin moisturize.”
Another product I’ve actually tried but I don’t mind having it in my collection.ย This Isntree sunscreen is really moisturizing and doesn’t leave a white cast behind, however, I find it not to settle down in my skin and just sit on the top of my skin.ย I’m all about hydrating sunscreens but this one just doesn’t seem to absorb into my skin.ย If you do want to use this sunscreen, maybe don’t use moisturizer beforehand to avoid the heaviness.
Torriden dive-in lowmolecule hyaluronicacid serum $24.00
“Skin soothing and inner moisturizing care, Dive-in serum.
5D complex hyaluronic acid
Low molecular hyaluronic acid and 5D complex hyaluronic acid quickly moisturize skin from within.
3-second serum
Quickly and refreshingly absorbed without the greasy feeling.
Skin-soothing and moisturizing serum
Contains D-Panthenol, Allantoin, and madecassoside to provide soothing effects to the skin.”
Hyaluronic acid focused products are always very hit or miss for me.ย They either do a great ton or don’t do anything at all.ย Torriden prided themselves on a first-place award given to them through a consumer review platform, so I had higher hopes than normal. A little does go a long way and does seem to give the skin a decent layer of hydration and will work better if you layer it.ย Is it mind-blowing?ย Not to that extent but this will be a serum I’ll continue to use to see if it will blow my mind later on.
Holika Holika Prime youth black snail repair cleansing foam
“Prime Youth Black Snail Repair skin care line contains the extract of mucin of the black snail, its nutritional effect exceeds the mucin of the common snail 10 times.
It is a powerful antioxidant, protects cells from destruction and premature aging; restores and improves local microcirculation, strengthens capillary walls; smooths skin texture, and lightens pigmentation spots; restores the quality of collagen and elastin fibers of the skin; rejuvenates and tightens the skin.”
I’m quite surprised I enjoyed this cleansing foam as much as I did.ย The texture foams up really thick and silky and reminds me a lot of the Japanese cleanser called the Perfect whip (everyone and their mothers know this cleanser).ย It didn’t strip my skin and it just made everything feel normal and nice.ย I wouldn’t say the snail secretion did anything though but it is just a cleanser, a product that washes off so I’m not surprised.ย Overall this is a pretty good cleanser!
~~~~~~~~
Although there were products that didn’t work out with my skin type, trying new products at a great price is always welcomed.ย The last Jolse box I got to try actually had a lot of new favorites that I still love to this day.ย If you want to stay updated on when the next Jolse box comes out, make sure to follow Jolse on Instagram as well as Tik tok.
