REVIEW ON TOPICIL CLINDAMYCIN PHOSPHATE TOPICAL SOLUTION

Hi beautiful people,

Acne just appeared one day but do not magically disappeared.  It is just giving confidence problem and sadness.  If this sounds like you, you are one of the millions that are plague by the common skin problems that is acne.  Then hope is not gone since we live in 21st century and access to information online.

I am also one of the person with bad pizza skin and have been dealing with it for more than 20years.  I am not going into accutance or be on pill.


So,  I got the Topicil clindamycin phosphate topical solution which is different from the I used and recommended in the past HERE .

Topicil clindamycin phosphate topical solution

Topicil clindamycin phosphate topical solution

Topicil clindamycin phosphate topical solution

Topicil clindamycin phosphate topical solution

Dermatologists usually prescribe clindamycin for inflammatory, cystic acne type and for acne treatment.
Clindamycin works by killing the bacteria that cause acne breakouts to develop from whiteheads and blackheads into inflamed.  Also make sure to eat more fishes or take sme fish oil because clindamycin reduce free fatty acid levels on the skin.  The research mentioned that approximately 14 % to 2 % following application of topical clindamycin.  So your skin will probably have wearker skin barrier.

Packaging:  It has 1% clindamycin and alcohol of 39.25%.  Topicil topical solution contains propylene glycol, isopropyl alcohol, and purified water. Comes in a glass bottle of 28ml or 30ml.
Shelf life 36 months. Store at or below 25°C.  It has a box but I already threw that box away 😅 .

Inside the bottle is the glue screw kind of head inside.  You cannot change the head so it isn't really hygienic in my opinion.

Ingredients talk: 
The bottle has 1% clindamycin with alcohol of 39.25%.  It also contains propylene glycol, isopropyl alcohol, and purified water.  It is flammable so becareful.

Make sure to only apply on dry skin.

Texture:  Transparent liquid that has strong alcohol scent.  After two weeks, there will be some white powdery substance around the side of the head.

Review:  It has high alcohol in it so it is actually drying on my skin.  I don't really like the packaging of the glass bottle.  I tried to make it work but I don't think it does much now for my acne problem now.  I think a gel clindamycin in a tube is still better than a glass bottle.  It is hard to travel with a  glass bottle that is flammable too.

Overall:  If you have super oily skin that can withstand strong alcohol content.

REVIEW ON I'M FROM MUGWORT ESSENCE

Hi beautiful people,

A product that I gave in after the rave from friends and skincare community.

Mugwort has many names with scientific name Artemisia.  I'M From uses Artemisia Princeps from Korea.  There are food made from mugwort and I also eat them once in a while. 😁

So here is the I'm From Mugwort Essence review on my acne prone sensitive combination skin.

This is a soothing essence made with the single ingredient of Mugwort Extract. The refreshing fluid formula adheres and absorbs into the skin to soothe sensitive skin and recharge moisture from within.

Packaging:  The pretty heavy glass bottle with the screw feels luxurious.  The opening of the bottle is just perfect for dispensing the essence into your hands.

Ingredients:  There is only one ingredient which is the Korean mugwort, Artemisia Princeps Extract 100% .  Still plant extract is a compound so I have no idea what is the exact other ingredient besides the artemisia and water inside this bottle.


Paraben free, sulfate free, alcohol free, silicone free, Eu allergen free. fungal-acne safe (malassezia).

So it is easy to know if you are allergic to mugwort.  Mugwort is one of the ingredients for calming hormonal acne.  It is also antibacterial so it is one of the ingredients that you can use daily without drying or giving you a burn like some essential oil can.


Texture and Scent:  This watery brownish clear essence just absorbs into skin fast without stickiness.  It very suitable for combination and oily skin type.  I pat it to my skin with my hands.   You can also use it for layering on a hot humid day.  As for the scent, it does have light scent of mugwort.  I am used to the strong scent of another varities but this is pretty light.

Review:  It has calming and hydrating effect on my skin.  It does reduce irritation, acne bumps on my face and heal it after using it for 3 weeks. The effect is not immediate but with consistent usage everyday.  It doesn't clogged or cause oiliness on my skin.  I like this mugwort essence and will continue using it.  Just becareful with the glass bottle.

Overall:  I think it is great gentle organic calming essence for acne prone skin and hormonal acne.

REVIEW ON BY WISHTREND SULFUR 3% CLEAN GEL

Hi beautiful people,

Sulfur is an ingredient used since Egyptian civilisation to treat skin problems but this is the first time I see it appearing in Korean beauty products.  If you have acne prone skin like me, sulfur is one of the ingredients that you can check out.

So here is a review on By Wishtrend Sulfur 3% clean gel.

Sulfur 3% Clean Gel 
is a hydrating gel that helps with preventing acne, unclogging pores, and controlling existing breakouts. The ingredient, Collodial Sulfur penetrates pores to dry out the skin surface to absorb excess oil and dries out dead skin cells to unclog pores.

Usage:
Spot Area: Apply on spots by using cotton swabs at the last step of skincare.
Entire Face: Spread thinly all throughout the face at the last step of skincare.

Ingredients:
Aqua (Water), Methyl Trimethicone, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Sulfur, Acacia Senegal Gum, 1,2-Hexanediol, Cetearyl Alcohol, Sorbitan Isostearate, Polyglyceryl-3 Methylglucose Distearate, Glyceryl Stearate, Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Tocopherol, Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside, Xanthan Gum, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer, Denatonium Benzoate, Disodium EDTA, Alcohol, Ethylhexylglycerin

Packaging: The yellow box comes with ingredients list in English as well in Korean.  The tube comes with a screw lid to avoid leaking during travelling.

Ingredients: As for the ingredient, it is a water based spot treatment and the sulfur being the star ingredient high in the list.  There are glycerin, vitamin E, hyaluronic acid so this product is not too drying.

No Artificial Colors, Oils or Fragrances. No Parabens. No Animal Testing. Sulphate free, silicone free, Eu allergen free.  Not fungal safe and it does have alcohol in it.

The ingredients that cause more fungal acne problems are Sorbitan Isostearate, Polyglyceryl-3 Methylglucose Distearate, Glyceryl Stearate.

The rest of ingredients are most for texture, scent controlled and solvent.  I am curious as why sufactant such as Glyceryl Stearate is inside this product though.


Scent and texture: It has more of a light lotion type instead of gel actually.  The light yellow gel absorbs into my skin leaving a matte finishing.  I could also use pimple patches on top of it without it coming off.  There isn't any noticeable scent.  It smell like how most unscented skincare products are.


Review:  I find that it is not drying at all even when I use it twice everyday.  It does treat underground acne which normally doesn't disappeared without treatment.  The underground pimples will come out as whitehead after a day.  As for whiteheads, it takes about 3days to disappear.  My acne such as whiteheads don't disappeared on its own without any intervention from powerful big gun acne treatments.

As for if it treats those red acne spot, you will need to add in some vitamin C or other brightening products since this sulfur is meant for treating acne.

Avoid this spot treatment if you have fungal acne since it will trigger more problems.  My jaw suddenly broke out in fungal acne.  Other part of my face is okay though.


Overall, By Wishtrend Sulfur 3% clean gel is a spot treatment for mild to moderate acne that needs a stronger acne treatment.  Not for fungal acne though.

REVIEW ON SWANICOCO FERMENTATION PEPTINE EYE CREAM

Hi beautiful,

Dermatological brand with Ginseng extracted from a 100-year-old Ginseng (Panax Ginseng CA Mayer) as second ingredient followerd by all peptides, ceramide and effective plants goodness?

Have a look at this Swanicoco Fermentation Peptine Eye Care Cream which you can even use for your face.

Swanicoco Fermentation Peptine Eye Care Cream

The skin around the eyes are often the most delicate and the most susceptible to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Face care without eye care is not a complete beauty regime.
Swanicoco’s Fermentation Peptine Eye Care Cream is a symphony of nature and science, providing you with the gentlest yet effective eye care.

It is filled with popular dermatological ingredients such as Peptides and Ceramides. Peptides have anti-inflammatory properties, promotes collagen and elastin production. While Ceramides, are lipids that help repair and strengthen the skin’s natural barrier system.

It also contains prized ingredients such as wild ginseng roots and EGF (Epidermis growth factors, which are naturally occurring proteins in our bodies that declines as you age and hence the need for an external boost), both of which works to protect and revitalize your skin.

The special fermentation process breaks down these ingredients further, allowing it to penetrate easily deep into your skin, effectively nourishing and moisturizing your delicate skin around the eyes. A highly effective product in reducing wrinkles around the eyes and keeping the signs of ageing at bay.

How to use:
This could be the last step in your beauty regime, apply an appropriate amount on the areas around your eyes.  Use your fingertips to gently tap in the product

Ingredients:
Aspergillus/Rice Ferment Filtrate, Ginseng Callus Culture Extract, rh-Oligopeptide-1, Caffeoyl Tripeptide-1, sh-Octapeptide-4, Nicotinoyl Tripeptide-1, Acetyl hexapeptide-22, Butylene Glycol, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38, Dictyopteris Polypodioides Extract, Stearic Acid, Niacinamide, Saccharomyces/Viscum Album (Mistletoe) Ferment Extract, Saccharomyces/Imperata Cylindrica Root Ferment Extract, Lactobacillus/Soybean Ferment Extract, Ceramide EOP, Glycerin, 1,2-Hexanediol, Polysorbate 60, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Saccharomyces/Asparagus Cochinchinensis Root/Lycium Chinense Root/Ophiopogon Japonicus Root/Panax Ginseng Root/Poria Cocos/Rehmannia Glutinosa Root Ferment Filtrate, Allantoin, Tocopheryl Acetate, Carbomer, Arginine, Centella Asiatica Extract, Magnolia Kobus Bark Extract, Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Polygonum Cuspidatum Root Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Ruta graveolens Oil, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Adenosine, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Leaf Extract, Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Fruit Extract, and Thujopsis Dolabrata Branch Extract

Swanicoco Fermentation Peptine Eye Care Cream comes in a tube which is really easy to dispense.  It is also a huge tube given that it is 45ml instead of the normal 15ml.  I think the price is justified for the amount of high grade ingredients inside this eye cream.  In fact, it is still cheaper than brands with ginseng in their eye cream.

As for the ingredients, I really love that Swanicoco put a lot of high grade ingredients in this tube of eye cream.  Fermented rice, ginseng, all the peptides, ceramides, centella asiatica, licorice, grapefruits and no colouring or added fragrance in it.

It is paraben free, sulfate free, silicone free, alcohol free, Eu allergen free. 
It is not Fungal Acne Safe since there are a lot of fermented ingredients.  I don't have problem using it on my eye's area though.

The cream is very light lotion and absorbs into my eye area keeping it hydrated.  It doesn't cause any milia or clogged pores which happen when you use something too heavy for your eye area.  There is no added scent but it does have very faint citrus scent.  I do think it keeps my eyes' area hydrated and reduce fine lines.


Overall, Swanicoco Fermentation Peptine Eye Care Cream is an affordable ginseng eye cream.
