I love Physiogel A.I Cream as a solution to tackle my eczema-prone skin ( on body only ) so when Physiogel came up with this Calming Relief range, I redeemed a sample set ( cleanser and cream ) to try it out.

The 10ml Physiogel Calming Relief Gentle Cream Cleanser is my morning cleanser for a week, during the trial. It is recommended to apply it with a cotton pad, wipe off and then rinse. Quite a waste of cotton pads, since I cleanse twice daily, which meant 4 cotton pads a day ( apply and wipe ). 

I have been a naughty girl though, I didn't use any cotton pads, but use it like a regular cleanser, with my bare hands. Tested on both dry and wet skin.

The white contents look creamy but not really so, once on the skin. It doesn't foam, and although I am used to non-foaming cleansers and like non-foaming cleansers because it is less drying on my skin, but somehow, the Physiogel Calming Relief Gentle Cream Cleanser feels alittle mild. It didn't feel like the cleanser was cleansing my wet skin. I can't feel the interaction between the cleanser and my skin. My skin still feels rough and dehydrated, although not tight. ( Bad cleansers will make my skin tight. )

On dry skin, the cleanser performs better. There was no instruction if it should be used on wet skin or dry skin so I tried both ways. On dry skin, the cleanser feels much more comfortable although still a little gentle and mild. I would prefer it to have a better cleansing power. It does, however, left a moisturising veil after cleansing, which makes my skin feels nourished, supple and soft. 

I am prone to redness, on the sides of my nose and on my chin. The cleanser didn't really eliminate the redness on its own, but accompanied with the face cream, it does help to minimize the redness on a subtle basis.

In conclusion, I would not purchase the full retail size of the Cream Cleanser as it is too gentle and mild, however, it may be a great addition or relief to those who has very sensitive skin.

Review : Dr. GL Restore Gel Mask

Product Description
Bring skin back to equilibrium with this restorative gel for all skin types. Packed with healing botanicals to help soothe skin, it makes a particularly good travel companion as skin tends to be stressed by changing environments, manifesting signs of irritation such as redness and dryness.

The Dr. GL Difference 
A proprietary blend of natural ingredients including Gardenia Florida extract and Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract heals skin with its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial powers. Its blue hue extracted from Guaiazulene helps counteract redness while its all-natural fragrance exerts a calming influence. 

Even though I have only used 2 of Dr. GL products, but I have been won over by the whole experience of using them, in terms of its formula and texture. Hydration has been key in my skincare motto and Dr. GL Restore Gel Mask has been one of those products on my "want" list but it has always been sold out during Luxola 40% storewide sale each time.

Review : Watsons Cordyceps Youth Activating Eye Mask

I bought the Watsons Cordyceps Youth Activating Eye Mask during my Beijing trip last December. The purple packaging looks pretty and has a shiny sheen to it, making it look more luxe. In each box, it contains 6 individually packed sachets as shown above.

The material of the Cordyceps Youth Activating Eye Mask is thin but doesn't tear during the 6 times I had used it, just before CNY. I just want to keep my peepers in good condition before CNY comes along.

Shaped like a C mask, it covers the undereye area, the eyelid area and the crow feet area. Cold and refreshing, it also has an artificial perfumery fragrance which I rather do without. Eye area feels rested but there are no spectacular results to boot.

Review : Yves Rocher Anti-Slackening Supra Lift Mask

Product Description
The Supra Lift Mask comes with a massaging brush tip that plumps cheeks and facial contours. It reduces the appearance of pronounced wrinkles as it increases skin firmness. The stimulating action of the brush on your skin, combined with the micro-exfoliating botanical AHA molecule, instantly boosts the radiance of your complexion.

I picked up Yves Rocher Anti-Slackening Supra Lift Mask at a steal during a Luxasia warehouse sale. I was curious to see how it will fare on my cherubic cheeks since they will be prone to sagging when age creeps up.

To use the product, twist the brush head to "on". Squeeze the bottle, to get the cream moving out onto the bristles. Apply the contents upwards starting from the base of jaws to cheekbones. It is recommended to apply it thickly twice a week onto the 3 main sagging skin zones namely, cheekbones, jawline and neck.

I use the mask more often on the cheekbones and jawline, skipping the neck area as I tend to use it after bathing. The scent is strong and is apparent even after mask application.
The effect is more pronounced if the application is thick, making my jaws look subtly sharper and lifted. However, the radiance, if any, is not obvious.

Note that, it requires more effort to rinse off and I tend to use more water than normal, just to cleanse it off my skin.

Review : MG Water Soothing Eye Mask

Meant to soften and brighten the eye skin area, each packet contains 10 individually packed eye masks.

Shaped like a batman mask, the thin cottony material provides a comfortable fit on the eyes. It covers the eye area totally, so I tend to apply a gel face mask together with this eye mask sheet and relax on the bed for that mini spa time at night.

Eyes feel relaxed, refreshed and look less tired after each treatment. No spectacular results though. A subtle scent fills the nose but dissipates after a short while.
