My thoughts
Anticancer ginger? After a quick google search I do see that sources claim ginger can have an "anti-cancer" effect, but as a daughter of someone who has fought of acute leukemia twice, the first time found because of a miscarriage, reading "anticancer" is emotional. I don´t thing cancer is something you should use to sell products.
Anyway, the product dose sound interesting, unclogging pores is something a lot of us can use and I wouldn´t mind and so is brightening. The box dosen´t say anything about "anticancer" so not sure why memebox put it on the card.
The smile patch is the cutest thing in the box! I don´t have any smile lines, but I´ll use the patches for the fun of it!
The cream has a bit of a boring packaging, but honestly packaging is the least important thing in skincare, although we all like pretty things right? The packaging says something about PH 5.5 +/- 0.5, it´s light, but dose leave my skin sticky for a few minutes. The smell is very light, but reminds me of ammonia and liquorish? Wired I know, I might be way off. I have no idea of what the ingredients are, but I love that it´s free of alcohol!
The hand cream is the cutest, and perfect for this time of year. I must admit that I really want to open it up and try it ASAP, but I do currently have four hand creams open. I should finish a few before opening it.
Glowing skin is big in Korea, during winter my skin can use some help to get a nice glow, but I have a few others to try as well. Mine looks like it had been used, the swirls where you turn the top of was full of product, it probably happened during shipping. The texture is a bit like someone tried making a pudding but didn´t get it stiff enough, sounds disgusting, but its fun! I´m actually looking forward to trying it.
I´m not a big fan of soap cleansers, but I have to admit that this one is pretty. Time will show if it gets used. I´m very familiar with Lush soaps which is often vegan or vegetarian, they´re also supposed to be very natural and handmade. I´ve never had a problem with them loosing shape or going bad within a year. I have a few that is a lot older and they´re fine. They can "dry" up a bit, but I´ve had no problem using them, but I wouldn´t put them on my face.
The gel has alcohol as its second ingredient, I´m not putting in any where near my face or hair. I looked forward to trying it before I saw that...

Overall I´m quite happy with this box, they only two products I´m not sure if I´ll use is the gel and soap.

Disclaimer. I bought this box with my own money, affiliated links were made while making this post.
