Ever feel that there are just too many products out there and you just want to try them all?
ME!! me ME! me!!!
(But at the same time you want to know it actually works and you KNOW you have your money well spent!)
Well being a beauty junkie and makeup artist by profession, I am like F.O.R.E.V.E.R wanting to bust that myth of 'Miraculous-ness' of X product or sometimes getting blown away by the sheer pretty packaging of it all wondering if it is as good as it looks???.....
So what I can do to help you ladies, is to pick out some of my favourite products that I have tried and put in my 2 cents worth of review and which it actually works. (AT LEAST FOR MY SKIN)
DISCLAIMER NOTE: I am posting from a consumer's point of view. So what works for me, may or may not work for you.
There was also a recent revelation: A very important one
You know how sometimes beauty companies set up warehouse sales with massively discounted prices on their range of products and you just DON'T KNOW what to buy (or if you should buy it just because the ad says so?)
Ending up a hoarder of products and 'X' $$ poorer for stuff you don't use at all and the companies go back happier .
This happened to me and my beauty junkie friends and after calculating the damage to our pockets, having the strongest urge to cry, we had the sudden Eureka moment to look for reviews online!!!! (LIKE HONEST REVIEWS!!!! NOT those paid to advertise which can be so misleading!!)
SO,
This is a review on skin exfoliation or un-clogger or peel or rejuvenator (This is how I want to define in my terms)
Having supremely oily skin and pores that are big and clogged, I am always on the lookout for the type of product to make it smooth and clean without extraction. PAIN! YIKES!
An awesome painless way to getting rid of comedones aka blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, etc
In my honest opinion, exfoliation is a vital step to include in your cleansing regimen.
Presenting to you:
 |
| Eucerin Dermo Purifyer |
This can be found in your nearest pharmacy/drugstores: Guardian and Watsons mainly.
IT is definitely affordable; around the range of SGD $30 or so
Use it daily, morning and night, and you will feel a marked improvement in the texture of your skin.
Another plus for this, is that there is no burning sensation on the skin, zero discomfort, unlike some other rejuvenator.
It feels smoother, and more supple and makes skin more radiant. YAY! Add on with your daily moisturizer after for optimum hydration effect.
To me, this is definitely cause for joy as my skin feels rough 80% of the time. Those little bumps and dehydrated parts of the face, just so frustrating!
After using this, it feels smooth like 80% of the time NOW!
This product is mainly for oily to very oily skin... (where annoying comedones usually appear on)
NEXT UP,

| Lierac High Peel Concentrate |
I found this baby when I was holidaying in London. I am partial to the word PEEL. (It means peel off dead skin and expose new skin = Rejuvenation!!!!!!)
IF I remember correctly, it costs about $20+ pounds.
STILL affordable to me.
But sadly, you can't find this anywhere except online or try via Luxola?
This works wonderfully on my sad tired skin and smells lovely.
Initial application has a slight biting effect because of the acids in it but absolutely NOT to the point of discomfort. BUT IT'S TOTALLY OK cause it kills WRINKLES!
Well, I haven't used it to the point that makes my wrinkles disappear. (Though I think wrinkles are kinda the least of my problems for now.... Hahahhaha)
BUT it does indeed make my skin more radiant, smooth and supple!!!!! (As they correctly claim)
Helps boost cell renewal. Improves skin texture.
Clinically proven effectiveness:
- A recognized anti-wrinkle effect: 68%
- The skin is smoother: 64%
- The product moisturizes the skin well: 82%
- Tolerance: good
Clinical study conducted with 22 women between ages 35 and 65 who applied the product twice a day for 28 days - % of satisfaction
So I'm also going to trust that it diminishes wrinkles just cause it says so!!!! (for now)
Go try it! I hope you'll be pleased like me!
XOXO
