Kiehl’s Insider Tip: Layer over Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate for optimal anti-aging and healthier skin benefits.

Ingredients:

Evening Primrose

Evening Primrose Oil is an effective on skin barrier repair and boosting radiance. 

Lavender Essential Oil 

Lavender Essential Oil helps soothe inflamed or irritated skin while helping reduce skin blotchiness for a more even look. Creates a brighter and more radiant look to skin. 

Squalane (Perhydrosqualene or perhydrosqualene vegetal)

A signature Kiehl’s ingredient, Squalane is a botanical lipid that is similar in molecular structure to natural skin lipids. It has an exceptional affinity to skin, and because it’s easily absorbed, Squalane helps restore skin’s natural moisture balance to keep it extra soft and supple.

My thoughts:

At first I tried the sample given and really impressed with the visible appearance of my skin in the morning. Skin look bright, glowy and hydrated. Purchased the full size bottle but the result isn't as good as the sample. Still a good facial oil compare to other brands. Will not be rating this since the full size is not as good quality as the sample - a little disappointing. 

Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel Review

Anyeong~

This is a review for Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel. I bought this product due to credit given for facial package. Below is the product profile:

Product Profile

Origin: USA

Price: RM197

Note: 500ml is RM286 

Description on the leaflet:

Calming Balm Mint and Lavender extracts soothe skin, while natural Quillaja Saponaria gently foams away toxins and debris. Formulated without artificial fragrances or colors.

Directions

Gently lather a small amount of gel on moistened hands and apply to dampened face and throat. Rinse with warm water and repeat for professional cleansing results. Follow with Multi-Active toner and recommended Moisturizer. For maximum result compliment with other dermalogica products recommended by skin therapist.

My Thoughts:

Face feels clean without drying after using. The gel is clear and without color. Quiet good since not drying but rather expensive. The foam is not that rich since it's soapless. However this product is not impressive enough to attract me to re-purchase, will not be repurchase again. Price is expensive and performance is just regular. Just another cleanser, will not be rating this. 

Dr. Jart Ceramidin Liquid Review

Anyeong~
This is a review for Dr. Jart Ceramidin Liquid, below is the product profile:

Product Profile
Product Name: Dr. Jart Ceramidin Liquid
Origin: Korea
Content: 150ml
Price: RM205
Available: Sephora

This is the description of the product as per Dr. Jart Website:

What it is:
A powerful serum to moisturize the skin.

What it is formulated to do:
This liquid skin saver plumps and seals dull, dry skin for all day moisture. The serum acts as a liquid cushion that strengthens and protects skin barrier from chronic water loss with the power of ceramides. It transforms rough and dehydrated skin into a hydrated, healthy glow.

What it is formulated WITHOUT:
- Parabens
- Sulfates
- Phthalates

What else you need to know:
This product has been dermatologist tested.

Suggested Usage:
-Apply serum over cleansed skin morning and night.
-Follow with Dr. Jart Ceramidin Cream

Ingredients
-Ceramide 3: Provides time-release moisture.
-Licorice Root Extract: Soothes and provides anti-redness properties.
-Portulaca Oleracea and Aloe Vera: Calm irritated skin and hydrate.
-Panthenol: Alleviates and softens skin.

My thoughts:

When apply the liquid on skin, it's better to pad to let the skin to help absorb it better. This is to be used as serum to moisturized skin but it is recommended to use this product along with the Dr. Jart product which called Ceramidin Cream RM239, it's packaging it's like in a tooth paste tube. I use this alone without the cream and it's not that effective for me. I will not re-purchase, it's really expensive in total RM 444 to use this product to achieve the result as said by it (RM205 plus RM239). Wow, I can buy a really good moisturizer with this price. I cannot rate this product since I didn't use the full range as recommended. 

Goodall Silky Plus Soothing Gel Cream Review

This is a review on another Goodal product called Goodal Silky Plus Soothing Gel Cream - Goodal is sub brand of Clio and is endorsed by Kpop Queen Lee Hyori. Today review is one of Goodal's bestseller products called Goodal Silky Plus Soothing Gel Cream, their other best seller is Super Seed Oil Plus Skin Mist - I did the review - to view click here. 

As per their product info what so special about this Gel Cream are:

Its made of 7 types of fermented super seeds for moisture protection meaning the skin instantly forms a protective barrier to hold moisture in.  The 7 super seeds ingredients are:

Sunflower Oil - revitalizing

Jojoba Oil - strengthen hydration

Camellia Oil - maintains moisture

Green Tea Seeds Oil - brightens

Argan Oil - elasticity care

Olive Oil - calm sensitive skin

Macadamia Oil - nourishes

The product claims to be fresh, non-sticky and non-oily, aims for quick absorption to skin with soft finish, the firming effect of oil also claims to be anti-wrinkle plus repair skin; it aims to hydrate and brightens skin as well. To be used as last step of skin care routine, to be spread to entire face and neck. The texture is light and easy to apply and absorb by skin.

Product Profile

Product Name: Goodal Silky Plus Soothing Gel Cream Review

Origin: Korea

Content: 50ml

Price: RM88.80

Available: Hermo/Watson

My thoughts:

The smell of this product is so refreshing, it's smells like combination of lemon, green tea... hard to describe but truly soothing and relaxing smell. The texture is velvety and gel like, easy to spread on skin and it glides, absorb easily and hydrating, non-oily and non-sticky. As you can see, I almost finishing the product, it's a good product to add on top of other daily moisturizer product. As for the brightening effect is very little, probably need a longer time to see the result. Overall a very good product to keep your skin hydrated and fresh looking. I will probably buy again when they have promotion price. 

Dermalogica Skin Smoothing Cream Review

Anyeong~

This review is for Dermalogica Skin Smoothing Cream, which is a moisturizer. Got this from a facial package voucher and it cost RM365 per tube of 100ml. Description on the tube stated it's a medium weight moisturizer to balance combination/dry skin. Contained lecithin and aloe gel to nourish while extracts of mallow, cucumber and arnica soothe and hydrate skin - helping to restore suppleness and tone. Antioxidant grape seed extract plus vitamin C and E help shield skin from environments assaults. Formulated without artificial fragrances, colors or parabens.

Product Profile
Product Name: Dermalogica Skin Smoothing Cream
Origin: USA
Content: 100ml
Price: RM365
Available: Dermalogica outlets

Description on the tube

White color light weight cream

What I think about the product after finishing one tube? Quite decent moisturizer, but still not moisturizing enough for dry skin. For this price, I expected more but turn out cheaper moisturizer also can perform the same, with the same selling point of natural ingredients. I will not be re-purchasing. This is just another expensive product with high end branding. Not worth it.

The smell of this mist is like refreshing essential oil, it's smells light and calming. After finishing one bottle of this mist, I did noticed it moisturized my skin well but not sure about the brightening effect, probably very slight change only. Overall this is a very good face mist. I rate this product 4 over 5 stars because it's quiet expensive.

My Fav. Vaseline Intensive Care Review

Wow it's 2 weeks away from new year yay! Are you excited? And I didn't post much this year. Lol! I am writing this quick review for my favorite product Vaseline 100% pure petroleum jelly. 

I have sensitive dry lips and this is the only product so far that helps! And it's only RM5.17 for 50g you can buy it from Watson or Guardian. It's so economy and effective, keep my lips moist and can use as lip mask overnight and the dried skin can be wiped off easily in the morning. I tried many lip balm even branded and expensive one but all end up with my lips having blister. 

Pros:

• Keep my lips soft and moist.
• Economy and can use a long time.
• Can use as lips mask.
• Remove dry skin and can be used to exfoliate lips. 

Cons:

• Not hygienic due to no applicator. (What I do is I use cotton bud instead and cut it into half and store it inside the tube itself  to solve this problem)
• The tube is big to store in handbag. 

This is the best product so far and one tube can last 6 months over for me. Vaseline also got the lip therapy specially formulated to treat dry lips but I haven't try it yet. Have you tried this product before?
