Thorakao Turmeric Collagen Cream from Vietnam - 10g Jar

Thorakao Turmeric Collagen Cream is the small 10 gram pot of kem ngho from one of Vietnam's oldest skincare names. Real company is Lan Hao Cosmetics, founded in Saigon in 1961, but every jar trades under Thorakao label. 10g size is the entry one and what most regulars grab first.

Why People Grab This Jar

• Goes far. A fingertip dab covers the whole face, so one pot tends to last about two months on nightly use.

• Light, pale yellow texture, sinks in around 30 seconds. No yellow stain on pillowcases or morning towels. That alone is huge if you ever tried older Vietnamese turmeric creams.

• Turmeric and collagen sit in the same jar. Curcuma longa root extract, hydrolysed collagen, a touch of allantoin to soften.

• Made in Vietnam, original Lan Hao formula, still produced in Ho Chi Minh City after sixty plus years.

What People Use It For

Mostly the look of uneven tone, the apperance of small marks left from old breakouts, and to soften how fine lines around the eye area look. Some reach for it as a light night cream because of the collagen and allantoin too. Just remember, not really meant as a heavy moisturiser. If your skin sits on the very dry side, layer something richer over the top.

How To Apply

Wash face. Take a small amount of cream, really small, stuff is concentrated. Pat across the face, do not rub. Spend an extra second on whatever bothers you most, then leave it for about a minute before next product. Most people apply at night and skip mornings. It does sit okay under makeup though, if mornings work better for you.

Suitable For

All skin types, sensitive included. First time using turmeric on the face? Patch test on inner wrist or behind ear for a day before going full face. Worth doing for anything new really. Don't get cream in your eyes by the way, stings.

Main Ingredients

• Curcuma longa root extract. Vietnamese turmeric, the brand is literally named after it (kem ngho = turmeric cream). On the skin for the look of uneven tone and small marks.

• Hydrolyzed collagen. Smaller fragments that play nicely with cream textures and help the formula sit lighter than older pure turmeric pots used to.

• Allantoin. A soother. Common in low cost Vietnamese skincare and there is a reason for that.
