Review on Avene Soothing moisture mask

I enjoyed using hydrating masks as its very soothing and pampering. I have it in Biotherm D-stress Masque but it have since cease its production.
So this Avene Soothing Moisture Mask which is recommended for normal to sensitive skin, is the next one which I tried out.

It claims to
- provide intensive soothing care to dehydrated, overstressed skin.
- help improve the appearance of tired, dull and lackluster skin.
- help with reactive skin and alleviates redness, tightness and sunburns.

Benefits:
Rich, creamy, non-setting mask soothes over stressed skin.
Replenishes moisture to dehydrated skin and helps restore skin's barrier.
Deeply penetrates skin to restore suppleness as it minimizes redness.
Pleasant fragrance tolerated by sensitive skin.
Preservative-free.

Hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic.

Containing 70% of its Avene thermal spring water, this is a rich creamy mask to soothe and soften skin as well as to replenish moisture to dehydrated skin.
It claims to be a genuine pampering care for sensitive, dehydrated or weakened skin which has become reactive due to various aggressions.

I regard this as a gentle soothing mask for dry skin. It helps to soothe the skin and make my skin comforted. When placed in the fridge, its a perk-me-up soothing mask.
However the effect of this light creamy texture mask may be too mild for severly dehydrated skin.

There have been rave reviews from some ladies who used this on a regular basis to treat their face redness with success. For me, I used it when I am overseas as my skin may not be able to adapt to the change in climate in other countries.

When I used it in Singapore, its like a normal mask to me, it did nothing to quench the thirst in my skin however, when I used it in Taiwan summer period, its actually quite a good mask for me. It soothe my skin and my face felt rested and calmed.
Its no longer that angry with redness and my peeling due to dryness is not that terrible anymore.

Review on Avene Micellar lotion cleanser and make-up remover

I have been using this make-up remover for several years. I usually avoid all oil-based make-up remover even though most beauticians will recommend it as an effective way to cleanse away all the dirt, grime and make-up.

However, because my skin is prone to oil clogs, I usually stay clear of it, regardless of what the beauticians say, with the belief that only I know my own skin best.

I love this make make-up remover for being water-based (Avene thermal spring water contents ), gentle, effective and affordable.

According to Avene, the make-up remover boasts of the following benefits :

• No-rinse cleansing water cleanses skin and effectively removes all traces of make-up on face, eyes and lips
• Hydrates and calms the skin, leaving skin moisturized and soft
• Pleasant fragrance tolerated by sensitive skin
• Preservative-free, oil-free
• Soap-free, oil-free, alcohol-free
• Avène Thermal spring water to soothe and soften skin
• Hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic

What I usually did, is to wet the cotton pad with the lotion and proceed to cleanse away the make-up on my face twice, followed by the eye make-up remover and finally, the cleanser.

Face is clean and fresh without any after feel tightness or redness. I even recommended this make-up remover to my sister with sensitive skin, who is loving it so far.

Review : Therapeutic Determalogic Formula C Scape Serum

The C Scape Serum by TDF ( Therapeutic Determalogic Formula ) contains Vitamin C (10% Ascorbyl Methyl Silanol ) which is essential for the production of collagen and elastic tissues that keeps the skin taut, supple and healthy.

Besides serving as an antioxidant to neutralize harmful free radicals, reduce lines and wrinkles in your sun-damaged or aging skin, C Scape Serum can also help to reduce the appearance of age spots and freckles, giving a lighter shade complexion.

Vitamin C, considered as one of the common ingredients in anti-wrinkle products stimulates collagen synthesis, heals devitalised skin and increases the strength of the underlying structural component of the skin.

According to Ocean Health, the C Scape Serum offers hydration and improves elasticity and skin firmness to create a more youthful and even toned complexion.

Do note that product have to stay chilled to prevent oxidization and once opened, it have to be discarded after 6 months.

I have been using this consistently for the past 3 months at night and have seen slight improvement in my slight pigmentation on the cheeks. It seems to have lightened abit.

However, where some users have commented that her skin have become firmer and pores become tighter, it did not happen to me. Have I become more radiant? I do not think so.

But colleagues have commented that my skin have become fairer.

Well, that, to me, is certainly good news.
