REVIEW ON KLAIRS FRESHLY JUICED VITAMIN E MASK

Hi beautiful,

Wishtrend has been releasing new products such as By Wishtrend Mandelic Acid 5% Skin Prep Water and Klairs Midnight Blue Youth Activating Drop this 2017. These two products has quickly become favourite among beauty enthusiast.

Here is a review on a new innovative product, Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin E mask with a great fun skin entertainment value in it. I mean looking skincare product that looks like food is appetizing enough for my eyes.

Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin E Mask

Ingredients
Water, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Niacinamide, Sodium Hyaluronate, Carrageenan, Gellan Gum, Betaine, Algin, Mannan, Ceramide NP, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Chlorphenesin, Arginine, Ethylhexylglycerin, Centella Asiatica Extract, Rubus Fruticosus (Blackberry) Fruit Extract, Salicornia Herbacea Extract, Phragmites Communis Extract, Adenosine, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil, Pelargonium Graveolens Flower Oil, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Peel Oil, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Oil, Cananga Odorata Flower Oil

Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin E Mask

Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin E Mask has a beautiful heavy glass jar so make sure not to drop it to the floor. It also comes with a plastic spatula.

It has iridescent design on the front labeling if anyone wonders why it looks like rainbow or something. The design is to compliment the Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin Drop and to amplified the effect of the essence.

What make this mask really fun and has skin entertainment value is the unique texture that feels like pudding and has the "shape memory" which returns to its original shape. If you dig a little of the mask, you will the hole fill up and being smooth again after you open the jar after 10 minutes. This texture is also the reason that it adhere to the skin really well without being sticky.

Looking into the ingredients, it is a light based sleeping mask with water as the first ingredient and glycerin the next. Vitamin E, Niacinamide(2%) are used to provide antioxidant and moisturising effort on the skin. Hyaluronic acid is also for use as humectant to provide hydration to the skin. Adenosine to promotes collagen synthesis, anti-inflammatory to help wound healing and regeneration. Ceramide NP for which is lipids that improve the look and feel of dry skin.

Betaine is a humectant and anti-irritant in cosmetic products.

Carrageenan is thickener and emulsifier which explain the pudding texture 😄 . It is vegan and extracted from red seaweed. Algin is also to give the gel texture and is from brown algae. Mannan and Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymeris are also a thickener, gelling agent and texture enhancer.

Plant ingredients such as Blackberry, Centella Asiatica, Salicornia Herbacea, Lavender, Eucalyptus, Lemon, Orange, ylang ylang are for those plant additional benefits such as vitamin c, antioxidant, calming, hydration, to control the sebum production, hydration and provide nice scent.

Chlorphenesin and Butylene Glycol are preservatives.

Honestly, I love the scent which is lavender with ylang ylang. The scent is a little strong but it does disappeared after a while. It smells the stronger version of their Klairs soothing cream.

Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin E Mask has the texture of white opaque pudding and it goes into a light milky essence upon application on the skin. The essence turns into invisible veil on the skin and has a cooling feeling on my skin. I tried it as morning moisturiser and also sleeping mask at night. I prefer it as sleeping mask at night since the hydration is a little more than I need for my hot humid weather during the day time. I am sure that it will work better as a moisturiser for dry skin type or during winter.

After using it for 3 weeks, I think that it helps with moisturising the skin, as occlusive, heal the acne red scars, prevent over exfoliation, balance the skin water and oil level, soothe the redness on my skin and brighten the skin. It doesn't prevent acne but it doesn't cause more acne. Unless you have problem with vitamin E, it won't break you out. It does help with reducing the fine lines on my laugh lines since it keeps that area hydrated.

Overall, Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin E Mask is a fun skin entertaining sleeping mask for someone who has a busy life, looking for more moisture, hydration, brightening product, heal the skin, anti ageing, loving the ingredients in this mask (Vitamin E, Niacinamide(2%), Adenosine& Ceramide NP) and no issue with other things in the product.

REVIEW ON SWANICOCO A.C CONTROL TEA TREE ESSENCE

Hi,

What are popular in Korea is not known outside Korea because of lack of marketing. One of such brand is Swanicoco. If you check out the Naver, then you will notice that Swanicoco is a wonderful Korean brand that received a lot of good reviews from Korean beauty enthusiasts.

What I have today is the Swanicoco A.C control tea tree essence. This is an essence for sensitive, acne prone skin and suitable for even dry skin type that could not use stronger stuff such as tretinoin or 1% BHA or 10% glycolic acid.

Swanicoco

Swanicoco is a Korean natural skincare line that prides itself for its patented raw component and nano fermented formulations, using natural extracts in replace of harmful components. All formulations use latest ingredients such as Astraxan, snail secretions, rice fermentation, human oligopeptides, fermented cell cultures of ginseng & hydrolyzed collagen. Sung Chunsun started making simple homemade products grew into a large international company helping many people with skin sensitivity.

Swanicoco A.C control tea tree essence

Swanicoco A C Control tea tree essence ingredients:
Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Water (Tea tree leaf liquid 90%), hydrolyzed algin/ zinc sulfate, 1,2-hexanediol, Biosaccharide gum-1, butylene glycol, methyl gluceth-20, Centella asiatica extract, Hippophae Rhamnoides(sea buckthorn) extract, sodium hyaluronate, Paeonia Suffruticosa Root Extract Scutellaria Baicalensis root extract/ glycerin , Allantoin, Trehalose, cellulose gum.

Swanicoco 8 FREE natural skin-friendly formula:
No artificial pigment
No artificial scent
No chemical preservatives
No Phenoxyethanol
No Alcohol
No Mineral oil
No Paraben
No Benzophenone

Swanicoco is against animal testing, natural, Eco-cert certified and using organic ingredients.

Swanicoco A.C Control tea tree essence comes in beautiful green and white design. The box is also very well made with a sturdy paper box inside to avoid the plastic transparent bottle from too much movement. I like that it comes in a dropper form too. I think it is great that Swanicoco even put a lot of thought into the packaging up to the aesthetic value and functional value of their product

The bottle is made from a beautiful glass bottle with a dropper which is great to control the amount of product.

Swanicoco A.C Control tea tree essence comes in a transparent liquid and there isn't any smell to it even when I bring it so close to my nose. The liquid spread into my skin really easily and absorb into my skin really well. I do love the texture as it doesn't burn and I can use it with my other spot treatment without any problem. I can use it at night as well during the day.

Swanicoco A.C Control tea tree essence has short ingredients list and I think there ingredients in there are really great for calming acne prone skin and hydrating it at the same time without being too much.

As for the ingredients list, there are many beneficial ingredients for acne prone skin. Looking for the ingredient list, it has great ingredients.

Zinc sulfate is great for acne prone skin which is always deficient in zinc. Besides, zinc can help the skin to heal. Plants ingredients such as Centella asiatica help to calm the skin. Sea buck thorn contains palmitoleic acid which nourish and heal wounds on acne prone skin. Peony is a traditional herbs used to calm the skin heat, removes toxin and provide antioxidant on the skin. Allantoin is an effective skin soothing since it is anti-inflammatory while also is an emollient. Trehalose is a type of sugar found in plants, fungi and invertebrate animals and is used as moisturizer.

I have been using Swanicoco A.C Control tea tree essence along with Swanicoco A.C Control emulsion and also the A.C Control skin toner. I really do like it because it is really gentle, does not irritate, help to keep my skin clear, reduce redness on my skin, doesn't clogged my skin and reduce the oil production on my skin while keeping my other area hydrated. My skin type surely has changed to be less oilier on my T-zone. I don't even need to blot my skin anymore. Although it contains tea tree oil, it had never even once burnt my skin no matter how much or how many times I apply it on my skin which is really amazing.

Swanicoco A.C Control tea tree essence would be a great start for someone dealing with light to medium acne prone skin and is not ready for all the strong prescription products that can scar the skin without the usage knowledge. Swanicoco A.C Control tea tree essence is of pH 5.5. Healthy skin pH is around 5.5 so having a product of that pH is great to keep the skin slightly acidic and acne controlled.

Overall, Swanicoco A.C Control tea tree essence is another gentle mild option as skin spot treatment for mild to moderate acne prone skin. One can use it every day and extra application doesn't cause the skin to peel or irritated. However, if you have serious acne, this might be too mild.

Product retails for

A. by Bom Super Power Baby 3 Step Ultra Moisture Mask in usage

A. by Bom Super Power Baby 3 Step Ultra Moisture Mask after usage

A. by Bom Super Power Baby 3 Step Ultra Moisture Mask

A. by Bom Super Power Baby 3 Step Ultra Moisture Mask has different ingredients in their eye serum, soothing cream and the ultra moisture mask which is great since it means they put great thought into them instead of just redundant ingredients which does the same thing. The eye serum contains calming, moisturising, revitalising ingredients such as beta carotene, lavender, green tea bergamot, aloe vera and vitamin C. As for the soothing cream there are a lot of moisturising and brightening ingredients which are very beneficial to dry skin type. Shea butter, jojobal oil, licorice,morus alba, angelica, sesame seed, hyaluronic acid, beewax and other plant ingredients which presented in hanbang skincare products.

The sheet mask contains the most interesting ingredients which are trehalose,betaine, ferments (ginseng, potatoes, rice, Ma yuen), hyaluronate acid, apple extract, ceramide 3, niacinamide and castor oil. Still go through the ingredients first provided above to check.

A. by Bom Super Power Baby 3 Step Ultra Moisture Mask comes with authentication numbers behind the box. You can use that to check using the QR code readers. Their box and sheet masks are also made to be unique and different.

I think A. by Bom Super Power Baby 3 Step Ultra Moisture Mask has a great packaging since it is really convenient to bring during travelling. It save the space for us to bring cleanser and sunscreen. It is hard when we have to bring moisturiser, essence and moisturiser during travelling so this type of packaging is really convenient.

A. by Bom Super Power Baby 3 Step Ultra Moisture Mask is a great sheet mask to bring during travel especially in the flight since the air can be very dry so this is going to be really nice and moisturising.

I have tried a few of A. by Bom Super Power Baby 3 Step Ultra Moisture Mask and I do think this is great mask for someone whose skin become too dry after makeup. Also it is something nice for someone that just want to do those "no makeup makeup" since it does make the skin glow.

I can only use a little of the soothing cream since I have combination skin and in a hot humid weather, it just doesn't sink in that well if I use too much. I use the extra soothing cream as sleeping mask which works out great. It is very moisturising and hydrating the really dry peeling area around my mouth. It has a light refreshing floral scent which isn't noticeable once applied. I do love the emulsion light lotion texture.

There are a lot of the eye serum which I decant a little to use the next day. The eye serum has a very light watery liquid which absorbs easily into the eye area. It does hydrate my eye area and help with the fine lines. There is mild floral scent for the eye serum. Please do not think that my eye bags disappeared because of this mask, it is there when I smile because of my face features. I don't want people to think that this is the only thing you need for skincare.

A. by Bom Super Power Baby 3 Step Ultra Moisture Mask has a great fit of the sheet mask. The material is soft and has wooden patterns instead of the usual paper sheet masks. It clings really well on my skin and I could wear for about 45 minutes. There is the same faint scent of the soothing cream which is relaxing actually.

I find that I like this sheet mask especially for the hydration and the soothing effect it gives. My skin sure feel smooth for three days even when I barely do anything on my face for that three days. I only use a cleanser and this A. by Bom Super Power Baby 3 Step Ultra Moisture Mask only and it is enough.

I think it is definitively worth the hype. The hydration is well balanced because it does not clogged my pores at all but give enough hydration boast. It is also make travel easy since it has eye cream, moisturiser and sheet mask in one packet.

Overall, A. by Bom Super Power Baby 3 Step Ultra Moisture Mask is for someone looking for instant hydration boost, dry skin, travel friendly, hanbang plants ingredients, during winter and no allergies to any of the ingredients. Also if you wanted to try products used by Kpop idols.

REVIEW ON BY WISHTREND MANDELIC ACID 5% SKIN PREP WATER

Hi Beautiful,

I have acne prone skin and have been dealing with acne for more than 15 years ago so I am in for any skincare products to get rid of acne. My acne is not as bad as before but then as usual, my skin is fickle and it can't never be 100% at its best all the time. Besides, now that I am after 30 years old, I had to add in 'wrinkles and aging' as my skin concern.

So recently I have been trying By Wishtrend Mandelic Acid 5% Skin Prep Water and it has been a month since I tried it so here is a review on it. If you only want to get a product for your acne prone skin from Wishtrend, I would highly recommend this cause I am waiting for sale to stock up on this product myself.

By Wishtrend Mandelic Acid 5% Skin Prep Water

By Wishtrend Mandelic Acid 5% Skin Prep Water

Features
Helps to improve skin tone, texture and a mild exfoliant that works on the surface of the skin, safe to use even for skin that avoid harsh chemical exfoliation. it is effective on acne because of the anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.

How to use
1) Before the toner, gently wipe and pat the product on your face using a cotton pad.
2) Limit the use of this product depending on your skin type. (For sensitive skin, we recommend 2-3 times a week)
3) For morning use, please make sure to apply sun-lotion after using the product.
4) We recommend not to use this product with other facial scrubs, AHA/BHA, and Vitamin C products.

Ingredients
Water, Mandelic Acid, Butylene Glycol, Beta-Glucan, Panthenol, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Fruit Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Sorbitan Sesquioleate, Centella Asiatica Extract, Houttuynia Cordata Extract, Sorbitol, Dimethyl Sulfone, Chlorphenesin, Sodium Citrate, Arginine, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Ethylhexylglycerin, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Carbomer

By Wishtrend Mandelic Acid 5% Skin Prep Water

The bottle is plastic so do not leave it under the sun or inside the car for it to melt. I can actually see the amount of product inside the bottle which is great. I actually use cotton pad for this toner because I just like to wipe my face off all those death cells. The opening is great to get enough products without spilling it out which is nice.

By Wishtrend Mandelic Acid 5% Skin Prep Water does not have any smell to it but if you still want a smell, it is like very faint plastic scent. It is very watery and absorb fast into the skin. There is a tart feeling which is a characteristic of acid.

If you are like me, (I have acne prone skin forever) then you might understand that I am more interest in product that gives me fast result without those irritation. I have been trying many BHA and AHA skincare products in the past if you do check out my blog history.

Mandelic acid is actually extracted from bitter almond. So it is not really for those with nut allergic or allergic to almond. Mandelic acid is one of the many types of AHA. For examples, glycolic acid, acetic acid (TCA), lactic acid, malic acid, citric acid etc. The strongest AHA that is able to penetrate the skin deeper is glycolic. It can work faster but also cause a lot of irritation so not everyone can use it. When your skin is red and raw from the over exfoliation, your skin actually does not heal well and it reject majority of the products that you normally can use on daily basis. In some people the skin retaliate by breaking out more. So, strong AHAs are usually only done as peel in skin clinic where there is professional to do it in a sterile environment. Of course that comes with a price to pay and your skin peeling for a week.

For skincare products at home, mandelic acid is a great AHA because it is the weakest AHAs among all but has the ability to exfoliate the skin, anti-inflammatory and also antibacterial. However, 20% of mandelic acid can be too much for everyday use so mandelic acid around 5% to 10% is ideal for most acne prone skin type.

By Wishtrend Mandelic Acid 5% Skin Prep Water has about 5% mandelic acid which is gentle actually. Besides, the amount of mandelic acid is suspended in water which makes the penetration not too deep into the skin. Other ingredients are added for hydration, soothing, retain moisture and to brighten the skin. Mandelic acid with just water is going to be very drying so ingredients such as Beta-Glucan, Panthenol, Licorice Root Extract, Sweet Almond Fruit Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Sorbitan Sesquioleate, Centella Asiatica Extract, Houttuynia Cordata Extract, Sorbitol, Arginine (amino acid), and Hydrolyzed Collagen.

The other ingredients (Dimethyl Sulfone, Chlorphenesin, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Ethylhexylglycerin) are mostly preservative and to control the texture of the product. There is a interesting ingredient in this which is Sodium Citrate which is use to increase the pH of the product. I think this is the reason that this product pH is at 4-5 which is the best for AHA to work.

If you are into the current trend of low pH thing, then you would know that products should of be certain pH for something to work bla bla bla ... . I have a post HERE talking about that if you are interested on it. However, too low and your skin is going to burn. Acid that has pH more than 7 is useless.

By Wishtrend Mandelic Acid 5% Skin Prep Water makes the skin smooth, brighten the skin, exfoliate the skin for other skincare products to get absorbed better, gentle, heal the acne scars, makes the pores cleaner and keep the skin clearer. If you have those underground acne, it does bring the acne up to the surface faster. It does sting for a few seconds if you have open wound so do not pick on your acne.

I would recommend to use it only at night and few times in a week. Also avoid using other BHA, AHA or retinol when you are using this Wishtrend Mandelic Acid 5% Skin Prep Water since you can easily over exfoliate and make your face red and breakout more. If your skin can tolerate stronger stuff, you can add a weaker BHA with it. If you want to use retinol or those strong tretinoin, avoid using it on the same day.

I use this toner four times a week with my other calming and gentle skincare products. it does not make my acne worse or cause more acne. On the first three days, I could feel that my skin becomes smoother. The acne and pimples I have become gradually smaller and get rid of the red acne marks faster.
Currently, I don't own or use any strong actives since I prefer gentle approach towards treating acne. This toner won't be able to make dented or 'holes' type of scars disappeared from the skin if that is what you think to get for.

Overall, By Wishtrend Mandelic Acid 5% Skin Prep Water is a great gentle AHA toner for treating acne and skin texture issues. If you have dry sensitive skin, it is best to use it twice a week and with a lot of calming moisturising products. For combination skin like me, I find it okay to use everyday if you do not use any other strong actives. Also use sunscreen when using this products cause you do not want to undo everything.
