Clinique repairewear laser focus

I bought this serum while I was looking for an antioxidant serum .This extensive promoted serum shone the most and got my eye.

product claim

ingredient; Water, Dimethicone, Butylene Glycol, Polysorbate 20, Methyl Trimethicone, Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer, Bis-PEG-18 Methyl Ether Dimethyl Silane, Glycerin, Silica, Polymethylsilsesquioxiane, Lauryl PEG-0 Polydimethylsiloxyethyl Dimethicone, Methyl Gluceth-20, Polysilicone-11, Sigesbeckia Orientalis (St. Paul’s Wort) Extract, Retinyl Palmitate, Plankton Extract, Punica Granatum (Pomegranate) Juice Extract, Arabidopsis Thaliana Extract, Sea Whip Extract, Whey Protein/Lactis Protein/Proteine Du Petit-Lait, Pinanediol, Camphanediol, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Protein, Ergothioneine, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Caffeine, Micrococcus Lysate, Palmitoyl Oligopeptide, Anthemis Nobilis (Chamomile), Linoleic Acid, Sodium Mannose Phosphate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Caprylyl Glycol, Carbomer, Glyceryl Polymethacrylate, Cholesterol, Aminopropyl Ascorbyl Phosphate, Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate, Tocopheryl Acetate, PEG-8, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Citrate, Sodium Carbomer, Disodium EDTA, Phenoxyethanol [ILN36513]

The weakness of this serum is a lot  of silicon-base ingredients and high in concentration as well.These silicon-base ingredients are comedogenic (clog pore).Pomegranate extract is the most important antioxidant in this product.Retinyl palmitate is actually a derivative of Vit A which is less sensitive than the orginal Vit A (retianol),which is very effective in treating wrinkle by stimulating the collagen deposition. Another technology about this product is the peptide.Peptide is considered a quite new anti aging ingredient and a lot of scientific studies have proven that it works !Beside,it has numerous hydrating (hyaluronic acid,linoleic acid,mannose,cholesterol…)and whitening ingredients(soybean,chamomile,ascorbic acid derivative…),but what makes me confuse is that how all of these ingredients can work with such a limited concentration =)

dropper can control the amount properly!

The serum has no smell and absorb easily since it is very watery.My skin becomes itchy and redden in the afternoon after applying this in the morning.After 3 days,my skin will get redden immediately after put this on.My skin reacted with this serum ,even though it is labelled with allergy tested and 100 percent fragrance free.=(So ,if you have a very sensitive skin,it is better to ask for a sample before buying.This product is more recommended for aging and resistant skin

Pros;high in antioxidant,well absorb,watery,may be effective if u can use this continuously,can be used at eye area

Cons:may clog pore,sensitivity

available in all clinique counters with retailed price RM 200 for 30 ml,50 ml is available also

SEKKISEI LOTION

Aloha,

                Now we already talk about serum, cleanser and all bunch of stuff. Next, we move on to toner.  Let’s face it, not everyone use toner. Some say, it has no use and just a waste of money. But for me, I use it for extra cleaning and to ensure that no residue is left over after cleansing.

                Here, it goes!!! One of the most famous toner/lotion there is in the market, Sekkisei Lotion.

Ingredient :

Water, Alcohol, Glycerin, Angelica Acutiloba Root Extract, Coix Lacryma, Jobi Seed Extract (Jobs Tears), Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Hamamelis Virginiana Extract (Witch Hazel), Melothria Heterophylla Extract, Tocopheryl Acetate, Triticum Vulgare Germ Oil (Wheat), Citric Acid, Dl-C12-15 Pareth-8 Phosphate, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Polysorbate 80, Sodium Citrate, Sorbitan Sesquioleate, Triethylhexanoin, Ethylparaben, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Fragrance The result from using this lotion is instant. Based on its claim, it has the ability to moisturize and whiten at the same time. So, from my first experience of using it, I do feel and see the effect. You will feel that\ your skin is well hydrated and brighten from your first application. However, the whiten effect is not really that significant. If you look at its ingredient list, alcohol is no.2, so it may irritate some people. Although, alcohol is known to cause drying, but I do feel that the lotion is hydrated enough. The brightening effect comes from glycyrrhizate (licorice extract). Third ingredient is known for having an anti-inflammatory effect.

Apart from that, this lotion can also be made into a mask. My friend really like to make it into a mask, but I personally would prefer it to be  a lotion. Because, the smell of alcohol is too strong, and the first time I did this, it almost made me want to puke. However, if you could tolerate with the smell, just go on with it. So, overall, this toner is really recommended for people with oily/normal, resistance, pigmented and wrinkle/tight skin type.

Pros : It practically has all the benefit such as brighten, hydrate and a little effct of whitening except for anti-aging

Cons : May cause dryness to some people as it has high concentration of alcohol.

Price : RM 248 for  360ml in West Malaysia(WM) and RM255 for East Malaysia(EM), RM 148 for 200ml    (WM) and RM 151 (EM)

COSME DECORTE moisture liposome essence

My skin had entered a unstable,redden and itchy condition since my second semester study week until now(around 1 month).One day when I was shopping in Takashimaya cosmetic department with my friends ,the promoter gave me this one in a very rushing condition,lol.I brought this 9 ml serum home with a prospect of it can balance back my skin condition.

The company claims that this hydrating and boosting serum can improve moisture absorption for your skin.

Ingredient List: Water,, butylene glycol,, hydrogenated lecithin,, sodium PCA,, acetyl glutamine,, chimaphila umbellata leaf extract,, birch bark extract,, equisetum arvense extract,, tocopherol,, sodium hyaluronate,, hops extract,, pinus sylvestris cone extract,, lemon fruit extract,, rosemary extract,, benzophenone-5,, carbomer,, xanthan gum,, cholesterol,, ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate,, sodium hydroxide,, methylparaben,, fragrance.

This product does not contain any alcohol that normally can be found in Japanese skincare products.Besides,it contains sodium PCA (natural moisturizing factor) ,acetyl glutamine and tones of plant extract in high concentration.Hydrogenated lecithin is the technology of this product,it is for the formation of liposome(micelle) that can bring the moisture deep into the skin and release it gradually.

contain sparkling particle

I tried this serum at the end is due to my skin condition kept worsening,scientific products such as Dermalogica and La Roche Posay do not work for me,what I can do is to pray for God that a miracle will happen this time and my praying worked at the end !

The serum is very watery,easy absorb with a very very light flora smell.Since my skin is extremely sensitive,I stopped using my toner .The first time of using this thing,I applied this on the skin directly after cleansing and a miracle happened! My skin soothed immediately,the itchiness subsided and the skin texture became so smooth and it pumped up ! The happiness is really hard to describe,I remembered I ran to tell my mun that '' Mun ! This is excellent !''

However for the effectiveness of it can improve other products` absorption is still an unknown since I only used this with a moisturizer now.

Pros: easy absorb,hydrate,pump up  and soothe the skin ( close to 5 stars level)
Cons:effectiveness in improving other products` absorption is unknown,expensive and it lasts for quite a short        time

direction:After washing, dispence 2-3 pumps on hand and apply evenly over skin.
