As someone with skin that easily reacts to products and can get red and dry, I am always looking for products that can take care of those two things. So, when I see products that have mugwort or centella in them, I am always very tempted to try them. When browsing through website, I noticed that MISSHA now has the MISSHA Time Revolution Artemisia Calming Moisture Cream, so I had to give it a try. Keep reading to find out what’s in the formula, my and the Koreans’ thoughts, and where you can get it yourself.
Things to know about the MISSHA Time Revolution Artemisia Calming Moisture Cream:
This product is formulated with the following ingredients that are good for your skin:
- Artemisia Annua Extract is the star ingredient of this product and it is known for improving dry skin and dermatitis
- Glycerin is a moisturizing powerhouse that smoothes and gives the skin a dewy appearance.
- Panthenol also known as provitamin B5, is an excellent moisturizer that also has anti-inflammatory properties. A provitamin is the thing that comes before the vitamin, and can convert easily into the vitamin. In this scenario, that vitamin is B5, also known as pantothenic acid.
This product is formulated with the following ingredients that are “bad”* for your skin:
- There is nothing in here that could prove as allergy or irritaiton causing. If you have specific ingredients that you are allergic to, I recommend that you check the ingredient list before purchasung
Who is this product good for?
- Those dealing with “winter skin”
- Those with dry skin
- Those dealing with dermatitis
- Those dealing with eczyema
K-Points: 8/10
So, for beauty reviews, unlike my album unboxings, I will be much harsher on because this can directly impact your health, where buying K-Pop albums does not. It just impacts your wallet. As such, all of my beauty reviews will be out of 10 points. I will not be going over that number.
Over the course of the day, I usually get more red skin, and this usually gets worse in winter.
What are the Koreans saying?
I was digging through reviews on 화해**, a Korean skincare app that lists out the ingredients of products from many brands for people to look through as well as post reviews. Out of 226 reviews, the Koreans are giving this cream 4.2 out of 5 stars. They talked about how the product made their skin glow and any redness or irritation they were dealing with disappeared. They said that for winter skin it is perfect, but it may be worth switching to the essence from the same line during the summer, as it will be equally as moisturizing without being as heavy.
Where Can I Buy It?
Whenever I buy K-Beauty, I do shop at a couple of different places. If you want to see all of the places that I shop at, you can check them all out here. I honestly don’t remember where I picked this up, but it was probably Olive Young or Style Korean. That being said MISSHA does also have an international website. With this website, you can also use Rakuten for cash back off of your purchases on their site.
What is Rakuten?
Rakuten is a cashback site that gives you money for purchases you may have already made. They even have an extension for multiple browsers so when you go to a website that uses Rakuten, it will automatically pop up the cashback button to make sure you are saving money. I use this all the time, and I got over $80 back from them for purchases I was going to make anyway. That’s about 3 more albums I can buy!
If you’ve never used Rakuten before, you can use this link to get $10 when making a qualified purchase of $25 when using Rakuten. You will also get whatever percent cashback is being offered from the site you are purchasing from. Sephora, typically has 4% cashback, through here. Ulta typically has 3%. These are just some of the companies on the website, but there are other major retailers on there as well!
Rakuten also has a Google Chrome extension that will tell you as soon as you log onto a site that has cashback with a little pop-up in the corner so that you can ensure you are saving money!

*I put bad in quotes here because everything is subjective. Just because an ingredient that may have some amount of research on it that it can cause issues in the skin exists in a product says nothing about how it is processed and refined when making the product. It also says nothing about where that particular ingredient came from and the quality of that ingredient. It’s just like with cooking you can have all the same ingredients to start, but depending on what you do with those ingredients, you can get two completely different end products. Liah Yoo, Youtuber and now the owner of the brand Krave Beauty, made an excellent video talking about this. You can watch that here.
**Note: 화해 still only exists in Korean, but some of the products can be searched for in English.
