Product Description

REN Evercalm Gentle Cleansing Milk gently remove daily dirt, excess oil and impurities with a non-drying cleansing milk that’s proven to soothe and hydrate skin after the very first use. Formulated for sensitive, dry and irritated skin, this ultra-gentle cleanser is infused with nourishing Blackcurrant and Sea Buckthorn Oils to lock in moisture and help strengthen your skin barrier, and antioxidant Fennel Seed Extract to help to protect skin from everyday pollutants and free radicals.

Benefits :

- Soothes

- Nourishes

- Comforts

- Non-Stripping

- Family Safe

- Microbiome-Friendly

Its been 10 years since I last used a REN product and even then, I wasn't too blown away with their products. Since I am such a big fan of cleansing milks, an Instagram friend recommended REN Evercalm Gentle Cleansing Milk saying its her favourite cleansing milk ever, so of course I have to try it. 

A clean skin brand, REN's products are tested on sensitive skin and are dermatologist approved. 

Packaging, Scent and Texture

REN Evercalm Gentle Cleansing Milk comes in a 150ml tube product that looks larger than its contents. It has a subtle natural occurring scent. White and lotion-creamy in consistency, the cleansing milk glides on smoothly on skin. 

How To Use :

1) Gently rub between hands

2) Massage onto face.

3) Rinse off with warm water.

Performance and Ingredients

REN Evercalm Gentle Cleansing Milk has a lotion-creamy consistency that feels gentle on skin but left a subtle drying feeling during cleansing upon first use. Thankfully, it didn't cause tautness, dryness or redness even after emptying the product. 

It doesn't lather much and feels too gentle as a makeup remover so I am currently using it as a second cleanse. The product description also didn't state that it can be used to remove makeup. 

The key ingredients are....

BLACKCURRANT SEED OIL: Extracted from non-GMO Ribes Nigrum plants cultivated in Poland using sustainable supercritical CO2 extraction, Blackcurrant Seed Extract is rich in nutrients and Omega 3 and 6 to help support the skin barrier, locking in moisture and smoothing the appearance of fine lines. 

SEA BUCKTHORN OIL: Wild harvested in Finland, Baltic States, Germany, Romania, China, India and Pakistan, Sea Buckthorn Oil is rich in Omega 7 to help to nourish, firm, reduce skin roughness and defend against dryness. 

FENNEL SEED EXTRACT: Extracted from non-GMO Fennel cultivated in Italy, Fennel Seeds Extract contains very strong antioxidants which help protect the skin against damage caused by free radicals.

Aqua (Water), Cetearyl Ethylhexanoate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Caprylic/ Capric Triglyceride, Sesamum Indicum (Sesame) Seed Oil, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Myristyl Myristate, Glycerin, Cetearyl Glucoside, Ribes Nigrum (Black Currant) Seed Oil, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate, Oryzanol, Bisabolol, Myristyl Laurate, Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Extract, Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract, Tocopherol, Xanthan Gum, Phenoxyethanol, Citrus Nobilis (Mandarin Orange) Peel Oil, Anthemis Nobilis (Chamomile) Flower Oil, Sodium Dehydroacetate, Cinnamomum Camphora Linalloliferum (Ho Wood) Leaf Oil, Pelargonium Graveolens Flower Oil, Foeniculum Vulgare (Fennel) Fruit Extract, Ethylhexylglycerin, Glucose,  Parfum* (Fragrance), Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Citric Acid, Citronellol, Limonene, Linalool  * 100% Natural Fragrance - Parfum 100% Naturel 

Where To Purchase : Amazon

Conclusion

To conclude, REN Evercalm Gentle Cleansing Milk feels gentle on skin yet left a subtle drying feel during cleansing. Thankfully, it didn't cause tautness, dryness or redness even after emptying the product but it won't be a repurchase as such drying feel is a concern for me, for a twice daily cleanser. 

The price is expensive for the size and I emptied it pretty quickly.

[ Review ] A Tapir's Tale Baby Protect UV SPF30 PA+++

 

Product Description

A Tapir's Tale Baby Protect UV is an ultra-lightweight sunblock that blends well with the skin and has a smooth finish without stickiness. Specially formulated for babies and children, it has added hyaluronic acid to enhance the skin’s natural moisturizing factor. Water-resistant and sweat-proof, this is a gentle sunblock that does not use any ultraviolet absorber. Mild enough for everyday use.

I have been eyeing A Tapir's Tale Baby Protect UV for awhile since it is a mineral sunscreen and caved in when I chanced upon a 20% discount on Motherswork sometime back. 

A Tapir's Tale is a homegrown paediatric skincare label that features a range of skincare solutions based on high-quality botanicals and proven skincare actives that are safe, clean and effective. Their products are produced in Japan and free from nasties and additives like colouring, synthetic fragrances, alcohol and parabens. 

Packaging, Texture and Scent

A Tapir's Tale Baby Protect UV is a 30ml product, housed in a white tube. It has a runny white milky texture with a slight white cast and a layer of film that felt slightly greasy on my combination skin. There is no fragrance.

The small size makes it travel-friendly and the tube design doesn't leak easily.  

How To Use :

1) Shake the container well and take an appropriate amount on a clean palm for use. 

2) Quickly apply it to areas needed on the face and body. 

3) Reapply after every few hours to prevent sunburn.

Note : Because it is a waterproof type, double cleansing is recommended. If sunscreen gets onto clothes, please wash carefully with detergent and warm water.

-Recommended for babies 6 months and above.

[ Review ] Lucido-L High Damage Repair Hair Mask

 

Product Description

Lucido-L High Damage Repair Hair Mask utilises Japan's salon technology, "Acid Heat Treatment", to treat highly damaged hair that is often exposed to heat and chemical treatment. This treatment uses acidic ingredients to repair and smoothen rough, frizzy and severely damaged hair.

It has been awhile since I used Lucido-L products so when I chanced upon Lucido-L High Damage Repair Hair Mask at Malaysia, I quickly purchased it. It was a relatively new product as I didn't see it in Singapore then.

In today's fast-paced world, finding time for regular salon visits can be a challenge. Factor in the costs involved, and it's no wonder many of us struggle to give our hair the care it truly deserves.

Recognizing the time and cost constraints that often accompany salon visits, Lucido-L has developed an innovative at-home solution that promises to revitalize your hair without the hassle.

Powered by Acid-Heat Treatment, a salon-grade technology widely used in Japan, known for its efficacy in improving damaged hair texture, it utilises Levulinic Acid, an acidic ingredient that penetrates deep into the hair cuticle, resulting in improved hair texture. When combined with heat from styling tools like hair dryers, it triggers a longer-lasting repairing effect.

Packaging, Scent and Texture

This is a 29ml travel hair mask product which allows 3 uses, but I actually managed to use it over 5-6 times. The travel tube size is great for travelling and staycations while the sweet and refreshing osmanthus and grapefruit fragrance lingered. It has a creamy consistency and coats well on the hair. 

How To Use :

1) After shampooing, lightly drain the hair, apply it to the damaged part of the hair (amount of use: 2 medium-sized muscat pieces).

2) After leaving for 3 minutes, rinse thoroughly.

3) After drying with a towel, blow dry with a hair dryer while running your hands through it.

Tip : Recommend using once or twice a week.

Performance and Ingredients

Lucido-L High Damage Repair Hair Mask is said to promote a longer lasting repairing effect with the use of heat emitted from hair styling tools. With the heat, the acidic ingredients are penetrated further into the hair cuticle to improve the texture of the hair. (Repairing effect can also be achieved even without the use of hair styling equipment).

Naturally derived Astragalus flower extract and grapefruit rind oil are used to remove the particular smell of acid heat treatment formulas and give a refreshing citrus floral scent.

With every hair colouring job, my hair tends to be dry and tangled, hence I prefer to use hair mask continuously for that week, to improve hair softness, smoothness and hydration. 

Lucido-L High Damage Repair Hair Mask contains silicones to provide the "silky-ness" and softness. After each masking session ( which I tend to leave longer than required ), my hair is much more manageable, softer, straighter and looked less frizzy. 

It contains....

2 types of heat-protecting ingredients that protects hair against heat : Oleic Acid/Tromethamine, Silicone quaternium-22

3 types of hair repair ingredients that repairs hair by utilizing heat : Meadowfoam Delta-Lactone, Polyimide-1, Pvm/Ma Copolymer

WATER, DIMETHICONE, STEARYL ALCOHOL, GLYCERIN, ISONONYL ISONONANOATE, LEVULINIC ACID, BEHENTRIMONIUM CHLORIDE, PALMITAMIDOPROPYLTRIMONIUM CHLORIDE, FRAGRANCE, PHENOXYETHANOL, POLYGLYCERYL-10 DISTEARATE, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL, AMODIMETHICONE, SILICONE QUATERNIUM-22, CRAMBE ABYSSINICA SEED OIL, PPG-3 CAPRYLYL ETHER, CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC TRIGLYCERIDE, POLYQUATERNIUM-67, PPG-3 MYRISTYL ETHER, DIMER DILINOLEYL DIMER DILINOLEATE, MEADOWFOAM DELTA-LACTONE, PVM/MA COPOLYMER, OLEIC ACID, POLYIMIDE-1, TROMETHAMINE, CAPRYLYL GLYCOL, TOCOPHEROL

Where To Purchase : Shopee | Yesstyle | Amazon

Conclusion

In conclusion, if you have dry, damaged and tangled hair, you may consider adding in Lucido-L High Damage Repair Hair Mask if you are not sensitive to silicones. I don't use silicones on my hair on a regular basis but only when its required. 

It left my long hair much more manageable, softer, straighter and looked less frizzy. 

For those with severely damaged hair, apply hair mask evenly across the hair surface and use once every 3 days. 

For those with damaged ends, apply hair mask on damaged area and use once a week.

[ Review ] Heimish Marine Care Eye Cream

 

Product Description

Heimish Marine Care Eye Cream harnesses the repairing power of the sea to radically hydrate and lessen the look of wrinkles and fine lines, which often first appear around the eyes. This rich, emollient cream is formulated with fermented seaweed extract and mineral-rich seawater to rejuvenate the delicate eye area. It's also enriched with peptide and plant stem cell extracts to lock in moisture and protect the skin’s natural barrier.

I received a set of eye creams as part of a Stylekorean Try Me Review Me campaign mid last year and Heimish Marine Care Eye Cream was one of my favourites during the testing period. Unfortunately, I realized it didn't suit me with longer term use. Let delve down why.
