Product Description
Enriched with premium Green Tea, Ginseng, Chinese Angelica and Hyaluronic Acid, Green Tea Nude Cover BB cream provides the benefits of blemish free concealing, sun block effects, whitening, moisturizing and reduction of lines, providing a long lasting smooth and ultra light feel to nourish and
perfect your skin. This beauty secret to natural beauty is definitely worth sharing!

Benefits :
-Natural and flawless coverage for all skin tones
-Oil-control properties that provide natural matte finish
-Spread with nano fine texture, resulting in even-tone and natural look
-Supply essential nutrients to revitalize skin, resulting in visibly fairer
and more radiant skin
-Provide all day hydration for soft, supple skin
-Provide SPF 30/PA++ to protect skin against UV rays and harmful free
radicals
-Help reduce the formation of wrinkles and lines

I have a sachet which lasted me for more than 2 weeks usage. I did not really like it because of the scent which is choking me each time I used it on the face. It smells like alcohol but I can't find it in the ingredient list.

The texture is lightweight and runny and the single shade fits my skin tone, thankfully. Because its runny, its easy to spread and blends in well. You don't really need alot so a little goes a long way.
Oil control is moderately well. I would peg the coverage as light to medium, so light blemishes and redness can still be concealed well. In terms of hydration, I would think its better than most BB creams on the market because it did not exacerbate or accentuate the flakiness on my nose and chin which is a great bonus for me.

I like that it contains SPF30 with PA++ yet its not greasy or heavy on the skin. Its a huge bonus in our humid weather, don't you think so?
In terms of finishing, I wouldn't say I looked flawless, radiant or glowy. It is just not as spectacular as I would want it to be. It even out my skin tone and provide coverage for better looking skin, like what a decent BB cream does.

June Quick Review

No colouring, no fragrance, this gentle formula is specially blended with Amethyst, Hyaluronic Acid and Bio Energy Fluid to help enhance the removal of dead, dry and rough skin and promote skin rejuvenation. After removing the dead skin layers that form a barrier, your skin would be in a optimal condition to absorb skincare nutrients!
Instant results after use: skin feels fairer, more hydrated, and clearer.
Make up can glide on easier and more lasting with a natural look.

Key Ingredients :
Amethyst - Enhance skin rejuvenation, improve skin complexion and provide engergizing skin effect
Hyaluronic Acid - Provides intense hydration and supports formation and maintenance of collagen

A sample sachet lasted me for 2 times of usages. It has a weird scent though it hardly lingers on the skin. Using it on dry skin, it produces grey little bits which are supposed to be the dead skin cells from the face. Thereafter, I could feel that there is a layer of sticky and greasy film on the skin where no amount of water seemed to be able to get rid of it.

I followed up with a facial mask and then do a last rinse of the water, before the sticky and greasy film is totally gone. The skin did not feel exceptionally smooth, just slightly better than before.

Review : Ginvera Green Tea Whitening Marvel Gel

I never thought that I would be reviewing this product but here I am with positive reviews on this. Long raved to be an affordable yet effective product to get rid of blackheads, I never really buy any of their stories though I am keen to try. But with the long list of products I wanted to get, this marvel gel just never seem to be on my priority list. But one day I did and I am glad I did.

Ginvera shared the same founder as Bioessence, using the same marketing campaign, touting lots of sometimes hard-to-believe benefits with each product. Such claims always made me skeptical but since its only $16.90, with 20 years of history behind it, I just gotta try it to believe it.

For a long time, I have been battling with redness and frequent breakouts on the chin but now that my skin have more or less stablised, I am keen in trying products that can reduce blackheads.
This product sells itself as a Zero Blackhead Gel. Sounds impressive, isn't it?

10 Benefits :
1) Removes blackheads painlessly
2) Softens the cornified layer and gently removes dead skin cells
3) Refines pores and reveals finer, smoother skin
4) Fades pigmentation spots and acne scars
5) Removes oil seeds around eye area
6) Regulates and balances oil secretion, prevent pimples
7) Evens out skin tone to give skin clarity
8) Dull and rough skin becomes smoother and fairer
9) Stimulates skin metabolism, skin becomes younger
10) Allows rapid and instant penetration of skincare products applied subsequently

The green tube contains glooey-like green gel with a slight herbal scent.
Meant to be used on dry skin, you can see tiny flakes being rubbed off the more you exfoliate with the marvel gel. Ginvera refers those flakes as dead skin and dirt.
I usually like to use the marvel gel during my bath as its the period when the pores are opened.

So what does it do to my skin? It softens and smoothens the skin and I can see that the pores on my nose are cleaner. Of course, that meant using it on a regular basis to maintain the condition. Not all the blackheads are removed, just those which are on the surface and not very deep rooted. I do not use it everyday even though it did say its gentle enough for daily use. Over the years, I have learnt to trust myself to know the condition of my own skin, rather than other people.

However, depending on my current skin condition, sometimes, I do find that my skin feels abit tight after each usage and I would follow up with a hydrating spray or mask to minimize the tightness and soothe the skin. After 3 months of twice a week usage, I do find my skin tone appears more even-toned and the slight pigmentation appears lighter.

But to name it as a zero blackhead gel still sounds outrageous to me, isn't it?
Note that in terms of ingredients, it does contain dimethicone
