TonyMoly Appletox honey cream Review

I first came across Tony Moly via memebox, when they shipped here. Initially what drew me to the products was the packaging - TM are known for their super cute and interesting packaging and this is no exception.

Housed in an adorable plastic red Apple, the appletox honey cream has been a godsend for my dry skin. You open this up by unscrewing the top of the apple. There is a safety seal and a small applicator which allows you to scoop the product, which is ideal if you want to keep it hygienic from your fingers.

The honey cream is a hybrid between a gel and a regular cream. It smells exactly like fresh, crushed apples and makes you want to eat it. The scent isn't at all fake or overpowering although it is noticeable. If you don't like the smell of apples then keep away from this.

The cream is a honey yellow and blends into your skin with no fuss. It leaves your dehydrated skin feeling and looking supple, hydrated and fresh. There is no sticky residue and your skin feels absolutely nourished.

I love the cream and I love the packaging. You can reuse the packaging as a cute storage container once you have finished with this.

This is a. Definite must have for my dry skin and then ext time I make a Korean order this is the first thing I will repurchase. It's my favourite TM product and one I don't want to be without.

I was given this baby as a freebie from a BR lovely to try and Holy Tony Moly I am in love! I instantly fell in love with the apple shape in came in and the honey smell it gives off. It has the texture of watered down honey but less sticky icky.

I have very dry, red skin on the best days so this slice of apple heaven was just what the doctor ordered. I dabbed it on just as it says to do after my shower. When it dries it almost feels like glue drying on my face which gives the slight pulling effect especially around the eye area.

The next day my skin has the best velvety feeling to it. My eye area was so soft and supple. My makeup went on so smoothly without primer after the use. I loved it so much that I bought three more pots of it. I use it every night after my shower. My skin is so hydrated now and has less redness above my brows which for me is a miracle in itself.

The price reflects the quality so I am happy to pay $14.99 per apple because it works better than most other things I have tried. It's true for me.....an apple a day keeps the doctor away. The look, tick! The smell, tick! The texture, mmmm I can deal with it. Results massive TICK! My new holy grail face cream.

This was one of the first Korean skincare items I had ever tried, on recommendation from forums, and conversations with some BR babes. Honestly, I didn’t really have high hopes for Korean skincare, mostly because I was unaware of it until the time I joined BR and really hadn’t heard much about the range and variety of product that were available in Korean skincare. However I took the plunge anyway and did an order of beautynetkorea, and the Tony Moly Appletox cream was an item that was in my first cart.

The cream is packaged possibly in the most creative packaging I’ve ever seen (which no surprisingly is an aspect of their products that tony moly is famous for). It comes in a beautiful re plastic apple that unscrews in half to reveal the bottom half of the item is the par that holds the product. It also comes with a wee seal, and a small spatula to avoid the unhygienic option of using your fingers to scoop the product out. Clever thinking Tony Moly.

This honey cream isn’t what you imagined, firstly because its not cream so much as a coloured gel, perhaps mixed with a touch of cream. It has a beautiful almost water based consistency, and feels slightly sticky when taking it out of the container, but glides over skin like it is a gel. Perhaps the most appealing part about this product is the smell! It smells like fresh apples, and not that crappy artificial smell that most product have when they sale apple fragrance, but a real apple delicious, fresh, crunchy smell of apples! Anyway this cream is ah-mazing. It’s the colour of honey mixed with an apple mousse and You only need a little bit and it glides over your skin so effortlessly, absorbing quickly and leaving no weird and yucky feeling residue behind. What’s more is if I use this as a night cream, I wake up and my skin has a beautiful radiant glow to it. Seriously my skin never looks as good as it does when I using this product. Plus this is my go to product in winter when I have drier skin, and it works like a charm as my night cream, hydrating my skin and reducing the appearance of those pesky dry patches.

Overall, what isn’t to love about this product? It has gorgeous packaging, the product feels and smells lovely, and it works wonders on my skin. The only reason I wouldn’t recommend this to my friends is if they hated apples, otherwise il be singing this products praises from the rooftops.

I was lovingly given a few samples of this from another BR member (you know who you are) xx And I fell in love with it and went and bought some more.

Now I used the sachets and when I bought more I bought more sachets for convenience so I can't really comment on the actual container it comes in, although I have seen this and it really does look beautiful and looks good enough to eat just like an apple would lol.

The consistency of this formula is not something I have become accustomed to, its kind of like half cream half gel. The formula actually reminds me of the cleansing gel from Nimue. It doesn't leave your skin feeling greasy either which is good and soaks into your skin leaving it feeling fresh and clean.

It really cleared up my dry skin as at the time I had extremely dry skin and very problematic skin at that. This really did soothe the irritation.

It really does smell like mushed up apples, but its not overpowering though, I really was tempted to eat it.

The price was great too when I re-purchased and I really like the ease of the sachets as you can take them away with you. Next time though I think I may buy the pot and put them into little containers as the sachets can get a little bit fiddly especially if your hands are greasy or anything like that.

I was super lucky to receive this as a gift, I'd been planning on purchasing after trying samples so was very lucky and happy to get given it!

The packaging is very adorable! An apple container with a screw top lid. It has a spatula so you don't have to contaminate with your fingers. I would totally reuse the pot!

It comes with a generous amount and a little goes a long way. It is a pale yellow, gel liquid like formula, quite unique to anything I've tried. For me if absorbs nicely into my skin. And of course, the scent! I love apple scented products!

My skin has been feeling and looking great since using this. I use it at night as a night cream. I feel it has balanced my skin and I haven't had any break outs since using this. For reference I have normal-dry skin.

I would definitely recommend this product!

I quite often get bored of face creams after half use and think is this ever going to finish but NOT with this!

I was lucky enough to purchase this off a friend, I had brought the hand cream first to see what the craze of Tony Moly products were about. So after that I had to try the face cream!! This is not only the cutest face cream container you will ever see... Its also has the most yummiest smell to go with it.

First impressions when opening the pot and seeing a pale yellow gel like texture was omg how do I get this out without making a mess but the awesome thing about it, its a screw lid with a extra cover and comes with a small spatula to scoop the product out without sticking ya fingers in and getting dirt in there. You don't need a lot and a small amount goes along way. My skin feels refreshed and moisturized all day without drying out. I have found so light to wear, its been fantastic to have under my BB cream. I don't realize ive got product on my face.

I had extremely dry patchy skin from travelling a few weeks ago and none of my moisturizers were improving my skin, I was frustrated and I remembered I had a few samples of this so I thought I would give it a go on the off chance that it will work. The texture is quite gooey so I was not sure how this was going to work with my skin. I have heard of the TonyMoly brand before and had tried one of their products which I liked so it wasn't like I didn't exactly know what I was putting on my skin.

I cleansed my skin with my normal cleanser and then applied this to my face straight after. I rubbed it in using gentle circular motions making sure that it was getting applied well yet gently to my face and my dry skin patches. I went to bed and when I got up in the morning an their was significant improvement in my skin. My dry patches had improved by 50% over night and I was happy and relived. I was actually surprised because I was a bit weary of this due to how the texture felt on my skin. After applying this for 3 constitutive nights my dry patches had cleared up 100% and my skin was hydrated. I will be buying a full size of this because it is dry skins savior and best friend. I do recommend this to you ladies with dry skin and for dry skin emergency's.

Let's start with the packaging on this one since it is a face product in an apple! I love it, I own a few other Tony moly products and they do the sweetest packaging. What's also great is that you can re purpose this as a jewelry container, kids toy or whatever you like. Practicality wise, it does up securely but it is a bit of an awkward shape to stack with other products if you are like me and tend to hoard beauty things.

anyway, looks aside. When you open this delightful apple, you are presented with a delicious smelling yellow gel. It smells like a sweet, fresh apple. I really enjoy the smell of this product. Now, if you are used to using a cream, this product is a very different creature. This gel is thin, sticky and stretchy but don't let that put you Off! I have used other Korean skin care products so I'm used to sticky and stretchy but when you apply this, it feels of thin, like it can't possibly be moisturizing enough. It also dries down on the skin like you have put a sick glue on your face. If you use this at night like I do, I strongly suggest giving yourself at least half an hour from applying this till bed time so you don't stick to your pillow.

I use this at night for a few reasons i don't think it has sunscreen and also the stickiness would not be the greatest base for makeup. I have quite dry skin and usually like thicker products to hydrate my face. Because this product i not that at all, for the first week of using it i was kind of dissatisfied. But then i started to notice how soft my face was feeling in the mornings and I'm sure there is a bit of extra glow there too. Now that I'm almost done with this product, I think I'll miss it and will most likely re purchase at some stage.

I have no idea if this would be good for oily skin but it's a thumbs up for my dry skin

I picked this up when doing a BeautyNetKorea order a while ago. I asked some girls from BR what they would recommend and Jess (her review is below) said this was amazing and I had to pick it up. I am really glad I did.

The packaging as with all TonyMoly products is amazing. A wee apple, perfectly formed with a green stalk and leaf sticking out. I love that it even gets slightly orange in the centre where the stalk comes out of, attention to detail like that is beautiful. You take off the lid and your apple splits in half. I really appreciate the wee spatula for the product to make sure you don't use too much, but I still use my hands and shovel it on my face because it is that good (you actually don't need much of this at all).

I love the formulation of this product. The smell is incredible!!! Like fresh apples, but not in fake way at all. Impressed. The formulation is almost like a thick gel. It smooths onto the skin like a serum but moisturises like a full on moisturiser. It feels sticky on my skin but sinks in so quickly that I don't care. It never irritates my sometimes sensitive skin. It makes my skin feel super nourished and well taken care of.

If you are doing an order of Korean products this needs to jump into your basket pronto!
