Vonin Exprim (Korean Aftershave and Balm)

I just got back from Korea - my wife and I were visiting relatives for the Korean New Year.

I wanted to check out some Korean aftershaves - so before we went my wife helped me find some on a website they have (sort of like Amazon). There were a couple of different kinds made by some of their major cosmetic companies.

I decided to get one made by Vonin called Exprim. It came as both an Aftershave and an Emulsion. The Emulsion is the color of most of my balms so I am assuming that it is a balm and the aftershave is like most of my splashes.

The aftershave only has a slight sting. I have used them for about 1 week and they seem to help my skin out a lot. If I have some slight razor burn it disappears well under 1 hour of putting these on. Both are supposed to contain 13 different natural ingredients (but I have not gotten around to translating the ingredients list yet - my Korean is not that great).

They have the same refreshing scent - not strong but not too light. I don't know how to describe it since I have not really smelled anything similar to it. It is fresh and clean - does not smell flowery, citrusy, woodsy, etc.

They come in nice, attractive 140ml glass bottles. And the price was excellent. Probably about $10 for the two bottles.

I will definitely check out some of the other Korean aftershaves we found in the future. And if you ever run across these then I would definitely recommend them. :thumbup:
 
Could you post some photos? I was in a large Korean market the other day and saw several men's sets in one of the aisles, but I couldn't figure out what was what. It would be great to see what it is that you got.
 
Here are pictures of both the boxes and bottles. As you can see the front of each has English but the rest of the boxes and bottles only have Korean on them. I hope that helps you though I don't know if any of the sets you saw at the Korean grocery store looked like this. If you end up getting them let us know how they turn out so I can know whether to get them in the future.
 
The bottles sure do look nice. If you can get the ingredients translated I would be very interested to see what they are.
 
Very interesting. I have bee here in Korea for awhile and have noticed the womens obsession with skin careproducts. But not any real attempts at male markets.

I've noticed this too. There is a skin food store on every corner but their men's selection is very small. Looks like I need to take a trip to E-Mart to look for these.
