Tried & Tested Part 2

I have been trying out so many products lately, and now I think I need to rest my face for a bit. But before that let me share my experience with these products.

1. Infracyte Wrinkle Resist Complex Serum.

Infracyte is a brand from USA which is pretty new. I like the bottle a lot because it reminds me of a posh perfume. The wrinkle resist serum has 99% hyaluronic acid for better hydration. It also contains alpha-oligohexylpeptide that is an ingredient that acts on the neuromuscular end plate to give an action similar to botox but temporary. It takes around 2 minutes to completely absorb the product on your skin. It is moisturizing and not oily hence making it suitable for oily and combination skins as well. For very dry skin, you would still need to put on extra moisturizer at night but for day wear it's pretty cool. Post treatments, I find it very effective and gives the skin a cool feel. Each bottle costs around RM 328++ and can last you up to a month if used daily.

2. KISS Dermablend Vitamin C Milky Cleanser

I have been selling KISS in my clinic for the past 1 and a half years, and one of the questions I get is about the make-up remover. Although KISS is purely mineral and you can just wash with water ( a lot of water that is) some prefer to have a make-up remover for a cleaner face. So finally KISS came out with their own Mineral Make Up cleanser called the KISS Dermablend Vitamin C Milky Cleanser, which not only cleans mineral but also other dirt on the face as well. It has a very unique apple smell and you just need a little bit to lather on your whole face and it feels so clean afterwards. It is gentle on most skins and few of my friends have tried it without having any complications. With its active ingredient being Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, it allows better penetration of Vitamin C into the skin which also helps to hydrate and is a potent anti-oxidant to the skin giving it a clearer and more luminous glow. It is sold at RM 190 per bottle of 200ml which can last up to 3 months or more. So if you like wearing make-up and thinking of getting a good cleanser, this is one you should have.

3. KISS Dermablend Swiss Apple Extract

Having a good cleanser is incomplete if you do not have the moisturizer to go with it. So KISS came up with their own Dermablend Swiss Apple Extract. This is a specially formulated moisturizer containing extracts from swiss apple stem cells that helps to keep skin supple and moist by the direct effect of the extracts to the skin. So not only you will have clean skin, now you can preserve its youthfulness with this moisturizer, before applying on your Mineral Make-UP. It is a very interesting moisturizer that absorbs quickly and has a nice peach scent to it. Because of its liposomal properties, you may feel that it is slightly oily but after absorption, it makes the skin feels so soft and moist. I would recommend this for people with more mature skin without much problems for maintenance purposes. Each 50ml tub cost only RM 380 and can last over a month with twice daily usage.

4. Phiderma vitamin C and retinoid A capsules.

 

These are pretty cool treatment options for those who like serums. Phiderma is a well-known clinical skincare producer from America. These serums are a great investment for busy people who travel a lot since they are placed in single used capsules and come in 50's in one tub. There are 2 main capsules. One is retinol complex that gives the same benefit as retin A creams but with reduced side effects. They created the serums with microsponge technology which allows better absorption of the serums into the skin. The Cerum vitamin C is a favourite of mine, since it comes in separate capsules leads to better hygiene and no risk of oxidization of the vitamin C which occurs in serums in bottles over time. This in turn guarantees better efficacy of the serum to work compared to other serums in bottles due to this non-oxidation factor. Applying the Cerum on your face will give an instant softness of the skin. For those who use both, normally the Cerum is used in the morning after cleaning the face and before moisturizer or sunblock and the retinol complex is used at night. With 50 capsules in each bottle allows almost 2 months supply of serum at affordable prices of RM 300 for the Cerum, and RM 320 for the Retinol Complex.
