[ Review ] : JUS Eoseongcho 90 Toner

 

Product Description

JUS Eoseongcho 90% Toner contains high content of Eoseongcho ( Houttuynia Cordata ) extract which helps cool down and moisturize skin, soothes sensitive skin and takes care of troubles caused by mask-wearing. 

I have previously shared a short review on Instagram, after receiving the product from 0.8 liter. Here is my full review after using them for several months and is on the way to emptying it. 

Hailing from Korea, JUS was born out of the will to create a skin care product that promises the best skin condition with only ingredients that the skin needs, such as juice to drink easily for busy morning health care. Only natural good raw materials are used which are beneficial for irritated and tired skin. You can check out their website and instagram for more information.

[ Review ]: Trichoderm Anti-Grey Hair Treatment Shampoo

 

Product Description

Trichoderm Anti Grey Hair Treatment Shampoo can help to fight hair aging, powered by GREYVERSE, world's first patented and clinically studies "α-MSH Biomimetic Peptide" and complemented by cutting-edge Japanese Botanical Extracts, Black Soy Bean Extract and Swertia Japonica Extract, that promote anti-grey hair naturally.

Made in Japan, TRICHODERM®BlackSeries is a range of premium next generation hair growth therapy with the latest cutting edge powerful TrichoCell™ ingredients. It helps increase the density of the hair while reducing loss and stimulating new hair growth. 

Powered by the TricoCell™ Deep-Seated Self-Regeneration Technology, it consists of the Plant Stem cells (Apple and Argan), Japanese botanical herbal extracts and the Trichological complex. The effectiveness of TRICHODERM® as a hair growth accelerator is achieved by activating the self renewal of hair follicle stem cells at the epidermal layer prolonging the hair life cycle and by protecting and vitalizing the dermal stem cell – reactivation of the hair follicle stems cells at the root to induce hair follicle formation.

I chanced upon a facebook ad on Trichoderm Anti-Grey Hair Treatment Shampoo ( Women ) last year and promptly purchased a bottle when there was a sale in Guardian. Read my recent review on Trichoderm Anti-Grey Hair Treatment Serum.

I had my first strand of grey hair at age 15 which wasn't a troubling issue then, until I started working and my grey hair situation worsened. 

According to Trichoderm, hair turns grey due to a loss of melanin which is caused by aging, hair bulb oxidation, long term exposure to sunlight and UV, frequently dyed hair and emotional stress.

[ Review ] : MizuMi UV Water Defense, UV Water Serum

 

I purchased MizuMi UV Water Defense SPF 50+ PA++++ and MizuMi UV Water Serum SPF 50+ PA++++  100% non-chemical sunscreens when I was in Bangkok some time back. I was excited to try them after coming across their sunscreens on Instagram via Tanya at thelipstickfairy. Check out my previous review on MizuMi Smooth Cleansing Water.

You can read more about its brand story on their website. 

Lets delve down to see how the sunscreens worked for me. 

MizuMi UV Water Defense SPF 50+ PA++++ is a 100% physical/mineral sunscreen with a light and comfortable texture, enriched with antioxidants. The lightweight formula glides on with a watery serum-like texture that’s quickly absorbed for a non-sticky, fresh feel. It is free from perfume, oil, alcohol, paraben or synthetic colour.   

It comes in a 30ml tube with a fitted orange cap. Unfortunately, I hated the scent which smells like a mixture of sunscreen and spoilt milk that made me wonder if mine was contaminated or had expired earlier than the stated date. It took me a long time to grow accustomed to its scent. 

 

I developed a zit 2 hours after application on my first use which was amazingly fast. Thank goodness, there were no more new zits thereafter.

[ Review ] : E Nature Rice Essential Tone-Starter

 

Product Description

E Nature Rice Essential Tone-Starter is a fermented rice water booster that helps dull skin tone achieve a clear, moisturized and radiant complexion. Formulated with Evening Primrose and Safflower Seed Oils to hydrate and restore skin’s pH balance for a healthier and radiant look.

I won E Nature Rice Essential Tone-Starter in a giveaway hosted by My Natural Story, but unfortunately, the product was 3 months away from expiry which was pretty short. To be honest, it wasn't a pleasant experience and I have given away another toner ( expiring in 2 months ) which I won together with this, since that was expiring soon. I can't possibly use 2 toners within 3 months, especially, when I still have other toners at home. 

I have previously reviewed E Nature Bio-Zeup Sheet Mask which worked well for me and I can't wait to try this toner. 

Packaging, Scent and Texture

E Nature Rice Essential Tone-Starter comes in a pretty 150ml frosted pump bottle that is sturdy and dispense the watery contents easily, although I do wonder why a pump dispenser was chosen for such runny contents.
