Review : HABA VC Lotion

Product Description
A moisturizing alcohol-free lotion infused with vitamin C derivative and ceramide nanosome to lighten dark spots caused by sun damage and acne scars. Improves skin elasticity and keeps skin soft and moisturized.

Vitamin C Derivative:
Natural vitamin C is normally prone to oxidation and is unable to easily penetrate the skin; it can cause skin irritation. Instead, we use a Vitamin C derivative which can penetrate skin better and is non-irritating to skin.

Ceramide Nanosome:
Ceramide is made into nano-sized capsules (100 to 150nm) and acts as an intercellular glue to bind corneum cells. The capsules are small enough to penetrate the stratum corneum deeply, keeping moisture levels for a longer time. Melano Block Mixture Contains Averrhoa Caramboia Leaf extract, Touki Ekisu and Horse Chestnut extract, which regulates the process of melanin production comprehensively.

How To Use:
Cleanse →VC Lotion → Protect

1. Apply VC Lotion by patting lightly on the skin with both hands. Do not apply a lot of lotion at a time but repeat this five times in smaller amounts to achieve maximum results.
2. For an intensive moisturizing treatment, soak a cotton pad with VC Lotion and place it on the dry area. Leave the pack on for 5-10 minutes.

Other than a 20ml trial size bottle, I was also given a sample sachet of HABA VC Lotion. Runny in texture like a toner, the lotion is recommended to be used after White Lady application. I use patting motions on the skin and my skin feels better moisturized after White Lady as White Lady alone is really too mild for my skin to feel anything. Still, I don't find VC Lotion to be performing well enough to hydrate my skin and prefer to use it on optimal skin condition. Occasionally, I experienced itchiness and redness barely a few minutes after application.

I have also tried it as an intensive masking experience, by soaking it on Naruko cotton pads, tear it to a few pieces and layered on the skin. It certainly feels better than tapping on skin using my hands.
However, I feel that the effects are more pronounced with using White Lady, VC Lotion and Squalene . At times, VC Lotion gives rise to slight itchiness on my jaws and cheeks, after intensive masking.

The product scored 4.1 from 39 users on Makeupalley.
