Skincare Review : Part 2

This is the reason I wrote this and previous entry.....read further....

Continuation from previous post ....

Kebetulan, I met somebody at work recommended me to use CLARINS products. Memang Allah nak bagi hints kat I kot, sebab masa first time met her, memang kagum dengan her skin, but takde la pulak bertanya dia pakai product apa. Tapi bila second time terjumpa, baru terasa nak bertanya...She told me that she used to have skin condition like mine...and now her skin is so clean and clear... She told me, she used  CLARINS Truly Matte collections (light green colour bottle) to help her problem skin. After her skin condition dah OK she was then advised to use the  CLARINS  Hydraquench Collection to treat hydration problem. So...apa lagi, pantang dengar org give good reviews about a product, terus pergi Isetan cari  CLARINS  counter. These are the things that I bought worth RM124 during Christmas Sale:

1. Truly Matte Hydra-Matte Lotion - 50ml - RM124
2. Truly Matte Pore Minimizing Serum - 15ml trial size (free)
3. Truly Matte Pure Radian Mask - 15ml trial size (free)
4. Cleanser - 5ml sample size (free)
5. Toner - 12ml sample size (free)
6. Lotus Oil - 2ml sample size (free)


Truly Matte Hydra-Matte Lotion @ Moisturiser
Truly Matte Pure Radian Mask



Truly Matte Pore Minimizing Serum


Amazingly, after 2-3 days using all these (and I stopped using Miracle Water, just to know whether  CLARINS alone could fix my problems), I can see that these products have gotten my pores smaller! I know that the serum and the lotion (mosturiser) yg made the pores smaller, but I think the Lotus Oil yg control the oil production and rebalance your skin condition. Eventhough it is an oil  and bila you apply to your face mmg your face becomes oily, but surprisingly, your face will become so radiance in the morning. And what amazed me, I did not get any single pimple during my period! Wow!! This is so amazing, after one and half years, I didn't get any pimples....I only applied it at night before bed.
Lotus Oil
Huh! Sudah sangat happy...then I started baca review from the internet on their cleanser and Hydraquench Collections. Supposedly I don't think I need the Hydraquench products just yet...sebab the Truly Matte Collection works fine (Alhamdulillah....bersyukur sesangat), tapi now is Christmas sale, kalau during normal days, beli satu benda dapat satu benda, but now beli satu benda dapat extra 3-4 benda....so I end-up beli :

1. HydraQuench Intensive Serum Bi-Phase - 30ml
2. HydraQuench Intensive Serum Bi-Phase - 2ml (free)
3. HydraQuench Cream-Mask - 15ml
4. HydraQuench Cream-Gel - 15ml
5. Clarins pouch
HydraQuench Cream-Gel

HydraQuench Intensive Serum Bi-Phase


I do not know what is the actual price for every product, but I got all 5 items for only RM78. I think this RM78 is for the 30ml serum. Murahnye barang2  CLARINS  ni berbanding Dermalogica and SK-II.

HydraQuench Cream-Mask

The BA told me that if I add in another one item, I am entitled to get 2 trial size products for free, so apa lagi, I took the opportunity to buy the cleanser. So I bought the cleanser at RM92, and these are the items I got it for free :

1. Gentle Foaming Cleanser with Cottonseed - 125ml - RM92
2. Toning Lotion with Iris - 15ml kot the size, not sure but I requested this since I tried the sample given earlier, it is so good to close the pores.
3. HydraQuench Cream-Mask - 15ml


Gentle Foaming Cleanser with Cottonseed

They gave me Cleansing Milk With Gentian at first, but I requested to replace with HydraQuench Cream-Mask just to add my Hydraquench stock at home before I buy the full size item. Because to me, Cleansing Milk is just another cleanser @ make-up remover, so I think I can use my existing products.

So let me tell you the feeling after pakai Gentle Foaming Cleanser with Cottonseed. Your face jadi super duper clean! Seriously I'm telling you....the best cleanser that I have ever used. It is a cream foam type, don't overdry my skin. I do not know how to explain, but tak pernah I pakai cleanser yg I rasa mmg puas hati gile! Selama ni all the cleansers are just a cleanser...tapi ini mmg really buat your skin clean and fresh! My hubby pun admitted that...sebab I paksa dia pakai, to confirm my statement....If you want to read further on its good reviews, go and find it here. Since dah 'terkena' dengan Dermalogica, I will ensure to read reviews first before end up beli my skincare.

Sekarang ni I baru pakai 2 minggu, and Alhamdulillah I'm very satisfied ... ye la...been searching for about 1 and half years and ada product dah pakai sampai 3-4 bulan, tak nampak apa2 perubahan...and Dermalogica lagi teruk, siap pergi facials, siap duduk dalam hot chamber @ sauna for 1 year, still tak tunjuk perubahan...menghabiskan duit aku betul!!

So CLARINS ni so far, aku happy. In the morning, I will use the Truly Matte collections, and before bed, I will use the Hydraquench collections together with its Treatment Oil @ Lotus Oil. So, todate, jerawat still tak keluar lansung, and now aku dah nampak muka dah ala-ala glowy gitu... Nanti la kalau dah betul2 confirm product ni penyebabnye...aku akan letak gambar before and after...Sekarang ni mmg dah rasa sangat confident, CLARINS adalah penyelamatnya. Since the pimples dah tak keluar, I kena tunggu for 1-2 months before looking for solutions to treat my scars. Tapi somehow, I notice my pimple scars have faded tremendously. Sbb apa....selama ni, kalau nak keluar rumah, I mesti pakai foundation and compact powder on my face to cover the flaws, but for the past one week, I only applied light layer of compact powder, in case takut muka berminyak .... So, hopefully after one month, I can go out without pakai make-up, just sunblock......

p/s For those yg nak try, click here, fill in your particular, and get the voucher to redeem the 3-pc trial pack inclusive of Treatment Oil (while stock last). They have 3 types of treatment oils (Lotus, Blue Orchid, and Santal) depending on your skin condition, but I took Lotus Oil to treat my oily skin.

p/s BA at CLARINS are very generous, suka bagi sample whenever you ask, so despite barang2 yg already on-pack, I receive byk gile the sample size toner, treatment oil and facial shaping lift cream. My friend yg recommended me this product says that facial shaping lift cream is very good, but I am yet to see the effect, as I only use it for 4 days. Will give the review once I can see the results.

  1. very true... I pun dah terkena dengan Dermalogica. tak ada perubahan langsung. Duit habis muka still the same.

    Now I try herbaline skincare, baru 2 bulan guna ada nampak perubahan and pimples pun dah tak keluar. Herbaline product murah dan facial pun tak lah semahal dermalogica yg tak logic langsung tu.

    rasa teringin juga nak guna clarins, from what you mention our skin lebih kurang sama.

  2. I have very redness and sensitive skin. Indeed I have to admit it is hormone problem but skincare can help a lot. I always have dehydration problem causing my face dry outside and oily inside the inner skin causing redness and sensitive. I am lucky to say I went to detmalogica for facial and their product is helpful at the beginning, but after sometimes, the product seems ineffective. I am using clarins now and I love their hydration mask a lot. You will see your skin is hydrate and glowing after using the mask my all time favorite. Just for sharing. Btw, clarins purifying mask is not suitable for my sensitive but still oily skin. It dries out my skin. For this I recommends shiseido purifying mask. Gentle but effective to clean my oily face. Just sharing. Thank you.
