skin care review : skin food Gold kiwi gift set (toner, serum, emulsion, cream)

Yeaaayyy!! a gift set of skin food! i looove a gift set, specially a full set like this, so i can try all in small size. On my last korean haul, i didn't buy full bottle set of skin food (i chose innisfree and holika holika instead), but i'm happy enough because i also ordered 3 gift set of skin food skincare; this gold kiwi, ancient rice and platinum grape cell.

This gold kiwi set comes with this plastic sealed packaging like this;

This set is a line of whitening but with a rich moisturizer too. The description from the website about gold kiwi line :
A Secret in GoldKiwi fruits] Do you know that New Zealanders eat goldkiwis without peeling them off not to miss out their nutritional effects? Skinfood has newly discovered a substance found in the goldkiwis's skin, helps restore your sun-damaged skin from deep under

well, let's check my experience with this set.
Toner

from skin food's website

 Highly moisturizing skin-whitening GoldKiwi Toner restores your sun damaged skin back to a healthy and clearer tone.

 * To Use
Wash your face, put a portion of the toner on your palm and then rub it gently into your face, or put a small amount on a cosmetic cotton pad and smoothly apply outward along facial textures. 

what i think about this toner :

•  it comes with this small plastic bottle, my guess is 20ml?
• my first impression would be based on the scent. well, it smells ok i guess. it has this same tone scent with skin food omija toner, but omija tones is way way more lovely and sweet. i was hoping this would smell sweet fruity as it's kiwi. But there is no fruity or kiwi smell. only this sweet scent like omija, but softer.
• then the toner itself, it's refreshing, doesn't dry my skin, doesn't give any irritation or sting my skin, BUT.. too bad, i felt this toner a little bit sticky during application and take some time to absorb. if i apply the serum straight away after toner, it would be more sticky. i have to wait a little longer than regular toner.

Serum

from skin food's website:
Moisture-rich skin-whitening GoldKiwi Serum restores and renews your skin from deep under, using a substance found in goldkiwis.
 * To Use
After using the toner, pump a portion of the serum onto your palm and rub it around gently into your face.

what i think about this :

• it comes with a pump! it's so cute that this little bottle comes with a pump, which i like, of course.
• it has the same scent with the toner
• the texture is light cream based
• TOO BAD, just like the toner, it also felt a little sticky after application, like it didn't absorb completely. at first i wasn't sure, was it the toner or the serum that felt sticky? so i made a test, first i applied toner then skipped serum, applied emulsion. sticky. then i tried to skipped toner and applied serum then emulsion, still sticky. then i skipped both and just apply emulsion, not sticky. But of course that way the effect wont be max right?

emulsion

from skin food's website:

Moisture-rich skin-whitening GoldKiwi Emulsion restores and renews your skin from deep under, using a substance found in goldkiwis.

 * To Use
After using the toner or the serum, put a portion of the emulsion onto your palm and rub it around gently into your face.

what i think about this :

• it comes with the same small plastic bottle like the toner.
• it has the same scent with the toner and serum.
• the texture is a light but rich lotion, richer and thicker than the serum
• it gives a good moisturizer to my face, not sticky, also a good base for my bb cream. doesn't give me any problems or irritation, so overall this is good for me.

 Cream

 from skin food's website:
Moisture-rich skin-whitening GoldKiwi Cream restores and renews your skin from deep under, using a substance found in goldkiwis.
 * To Use
After using the serum or the emulsion, put a portion of the crem onto your palm and rub it around gently into your face.

what i think about this :

• it comes with this small plastic tube that you have to dip your finger in it. grrrr..
• it has the same scent with toner, serum and emulsion.
• the texture is thick and rich cream , the thickest and richest from all the 3 (serum, emulsion, cream) of course. it is really rich so i only use it at night. it is a good night cream in my opinion. it gave me higg moisturizer i need during my night sleep, and not sticky.

My overall comment :
it is another nice line from skin food skin care, but too bad, for me the toner and serum are a little bit sticky. Or maybe i just need to wait longer before applying serum after toner and emulsion after serum. But sometimes i can't wait that long, specially in the morning.so for me, it's really too bad, because the emulsion and cream are good. anyway, this is the comparison of serum-emulsion-cream.

 the left one is serum, the middle one is the emulsion and the right one is the cream.
i can't tell anything about whitening effect because i only have the gift set which will finish less than a month (sometimes 2-3 weeks, but toner normally will finish first, around 1 week), but as for the high moisturising effect, it's quite good. will i buy the full bottle set? sorry, no. the toner and serum are not my fav.
