TonyMoly Appletox honey cream Review

I bought this off of BeautyNet Korea first as samples, I got about 10 for $5, and then I knew I had to get the full sized tub, if not for the cute packaging alone!

The packaging is freakin' adorable, and it looks like an apple! It's the cutest thing ever. The lid twists off halfway ish down the apple and underneath you are greeted with the golden product. It's not a cream but a gel! It weirded me out at first because I usually only use oils or creams. But then this came along. I'm still not certain where to use it in my routine but it gets used.

Best part? It smells like apples. Straight up apples, not a fake apple smell but real apples! It's amazing. The color of the product is also almost apple flesh colored (maybe after it's been bitten and it's started to yellow).

As this product is a gel, and it is always quite cold, it's so lovely on a hot day to just refresh the face. I don't really find it overly moisturizing but I'll continue using it so I don't waste it, and so I can have a cute little apple sitting around the house!

I love some of their face masks so wanted to try this out.

I liked it and do rate it but it was quite expensive for the amount received. So it will affect my repurchase.

But it was lovely to use. So hydrating and moisturising. Light and nourishing but not greasy. A little did go a long way luckily.

I will be honest I love the packaging and that was what drew me to the product in the first place and i do love it but it and would repurchase, but there are some nicer more affordable ones available.

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 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 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!

I won this adorable, appley goodness in a competition. First of all the container is adorable: a red apple with green stalk and leaf it’s orange at the top near the stem and then fades out at the top into a bright red. You screw it off in half and there’s a white lid over the product to keep it fresh. The product smells amazing, like apples. Fresh apples! The consistency of the product is thick and sort of buttery and pretty close to the colour of butter. But you massage it on your face and it absorbs and your skin feels soft and smooth. I asked my guy to sniff my face and when I applied it before bed he sniffed it and then almost licked my cheeks as he thought it smelt yummy. He thought it smelt a bit like strawberries. He usually doesn’t comment on my skincare and products so that’s quite a reaction for him he also thought the apple was really cute. I have normal/oily combination skin and this didn’t make me break out so that’s good. So far the only con I can think of it that I can’t find a full list of ingredients in the product but since I haven’t had any bad reactions to it I’m not too worried. I love this product and it makes an adorable gift for someone. I gave one to my youngest sister to try to get her interested in skincare so this was her first facial moisturizer. I’m definitely thinking of purchasing more as gifts for people in the future.

I have to start by saying that I adore TonyMoly products - the quirky cute packaging, the beautiful scent and the quality products. And this product is no exception.

You can purchase these in either the super-cute apple container or they also come in beautiful little round sachets, which are perfect if you want to try before you buy, or if you want a convenient travel pack.

The 'cream' inside is more of a sticky yellowish gel with a gorgeous scent of apple and a hint of honey. It's the type of smell where you want to run around asking people to smell your skin because it's so delicious! It's a very thick, sticky sort of a gel and kind of clings to your skin as you apply it, but as you smooth it over your skin you can feel it sinking in and deeply moisturising your face.

It is a bit stickier than I would normally look for in a moisturiser, but this is a product I like to save for night-time as a special treat for my skin overnight. Not only does my skin feel gorgeous in the morning but I get to fall asleep with the fresh apple scent on my face.

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.
