Wooohooo...this are my 2nd update of the night, hahaha and for some reasons tonight I'm in a mood for blogging, and I won't wait until tomorrow to write this...(and let me celebrate my eagerness in blogging :D)
I've been meaning to blog about these skin care products since last month too, and I couldn't wait to write the reviews about them :)
So, the last 1,5 months I've been changing my skin care routines to some products that later I found more matched to my oily/acne-prone skin :)
1. PHILOSOPHY: On a Clear Day
I always loveee...loveee...Philosophy Skin Care Products, I think they make one of the best skin care products out there. Before I decided to try on this I've been a fan for 'Hope in a Jar' which I loveee so very much! :). So why I'm switching to this kit? Well, first this one is specifically for the oily-and acne prone skin, and last but not least It didn't break my skin like any acne skin care products -I've tried 'Skin Medica' and its too strong for my sensitive skin and end up breaks my skin horribly...I quit using it after a week :(-
To avoid my skin from drying and getting tight or even break out...I only use this product at night...so far, it feels good on skin (I exfoliate my skin 3 times a week using 'Philosophy Microdelivery'), and I think I will continue using it and see the result
PROs:
- 4 full-size products in one kit : On a clear day oil-free foaming acne cleanser, On a clear day all over acne treatment, On a clear day oil-free acne spot treatment, and On a clear day retinol clarifying lotion.
- The foaming cleanser doesn't sting to the sensitive skin or dry the skin
- The retinol clarifying lotion helps me to reduce my pores sizes and also helping the previous acne scar :)
- It didn't breaks out my skin
CONs:
- I'm not a fan for the 'acne spot treatment', it didn't worked that much on me :(
- No International shipping (to Indonesia) for online shopping so I have to bought it from eBay (The retail for this full-size kit on the website is around US$ 65, and I bought it on eBay for US$ 89...zzzz -__-)
Will you gonna re-purchase this product??
I Love this product and philosophy products...I probably gonna re-purchase this products from eBay (again) when I'm out, meanwhile I'm hoping philosophy will ship to my country sooonnnn...:'(
2. Shiseido Pureness 1-2-3 Kit
First of all...pardon the pictures quality here as I'm taking it with my blackberry. and second of all the pic here are the actual product that I use, so somewhat it look not pretty (like the one you seen on the web :P)
Anyway, I never tried any shiseido skin care products so that is one of the reasons why I only bought the trial kit after I read the review about this product. It happens that I'm loving it more than I expect :). I only using it every morning.
The Kit contains of: Deep cleansing foam, Balancing softener (toner), and Matifying lotion.
PROs:
- The deep cleansing foam is very gentle on the skin, it will leave your skin subtle and soft.
- It didn't break out my skin, and it feels light as the matifying lotion easily absorb to the skin and it gives you matte result (which is what I need ^^).
- The price for the Kit is reasonable (around US$ 25), I bought this kit on StrawberryNet. I haven't check it on my local Shiseido store :)
CONs:
- Since it's only the basic skin care products, and it's on trial sizes...you can't expect major change from using this kit only, go check on their website for other Shiseido Pureness products
Will you gonna re-purchase this product??
Maybe...since I love the result, but first I need to check on the price at the Shiseido counter here in Jakarta...if it's cheaper on StrawberryNet, no doubt I'm gonna order it from there :)
Love,
Kiki ;)
