Product review: Aknicare treatment lotion with GT peptide-10
The product description says: Aknicare treatment lotion is an alcohol-based medical treatment lotion, indicated for use when a noticeable and rapid effect is required to control and decrease the typical symptoms of mild-moderate acne characterised by seborrhoea, blackheads, papules and pustules.
It contains: Triethyl citrate, ethyl linoleate, salicyclic acid(0.5%), GT peptide-10. Just in case you are interested in finding out what these ingredients do for our skin, pls click here. I have listed them down when doing my review on aknicare cream previously, and aknicare cleanser here.
I ordered this a bit while ago, only started to try it recently when my face experienced a mild pms breakout.
I used it twice a day on cleansed skin. My immediate impression is..wow the alcohol smell is so overwhelming! The moment when I opened up the cover, it felt like my skin was about to be medically disinfected, if not surgically..
With the swab applicator I rub the lotion on, then gently pat to allow for better absorption. My skin turned pinkish to red right away, which is not a big surprise since I have super sensitive skin, the redness went away within just minutes without giving my skin much discomfort except slight stinging sensation thats very tolerable. Then I noticed the thin film on the surface, felt greasy, looked shiny and unflattering.
After aknicare lotion, I went on with aknicare cream, followed by endocare gelcream(need the antioxidants to prevent post-inflammation hyperpigmentation), these are proven effective and gentle enough for my skin. However, throughout the day my skin felt irritated with the constant dryness.
After 8 days of diligent usage, I hated to see myself still nursing the zits on the same spots.. So I discontinued it.
In one word, it was unpleasant to use, and showed no improvement to my skin. I wont repurchase it.
Product review: Dior Creme de rose smoothing plumping lip balm
One of the reasons I decided to give it a try is one celebrity (who I dont know her name) strongly recommended it on Beauty Queen show (女人我最大), she claimed how great this lip balm made her lips look and feel, just when my lips were crying for tender loving care.
I was very excited to see the magic working on me, so for the first two weeks I made sure myself use it at least twice a day, one in the morning when I do my makeup, one before bedtime.
Not sure if my expectation was a little too high, to me it is not that a 'great' product, just a good one. But pls don't get me wrong. I do like how soft my lips feel everytime after application, without the 'waxy' feeling. It appears pink in the pot, and turns colorless on lips, gives a bit of nice sheen, but not glossy looking.
I also noticed when I rubbed a generous amount onto my lips before going to bed, I woke up next morning with slightly fuller-looking lips. The difference is not so so SO huge like what a lip filler can make, but it is very subtle as I definitely can tell my lip are nicely plumped and lines are looking less obvious.
The soft rose scent is lovely, and the pot design has some retro to it, which is feminine and elegant to fit into any purse.

What I don't like about this product is:
1) On days I don't use it, my lips start acting up badly. They get so dry and flaky, which never happened before I used this lip balm. I suppose it has something to do with its formula.
2) I personally dont really like products in the pot, which can be quite unhygienic when we had to dip our finger in it to take the product out.
3) The price is 41sgd. I bought it at Dior counter Ngee Ann city.
Repurchase? I will continue to look for better ones, but I may just grab one of these again just in case.

Product review: Aknicare cleanser
I was given a few sachets of aknicare cleanser samples when purchasing aknicare cream. Honestly for the first few wash I didnot like it, as I found the texture is rather liquid-y, when rubbed in water there was minimal foams. I had the feeling that my face was not cleansed properly.
After that I experimented other method of using this cleanser, I was then officially impressed!
It comes in a bottle with twist open dispensing cap, Texture of the cleanser is liquidy, it is clear in color.

I use it twice a day, following my new method:
1) Wet face and both hands.
2) Take aknicare cleanser about the size of a 20-cents coin
3) Rub the cleanser inbetween palms, do NOT add any more water at all. There you go, tons of foams.
4) Now start massaging them onto face using circular motion. The foams will get into pores and clean the skin thoroughly.
5) Rinse face under running water.
My face feels super clean and happy :)
Aknicare cleanser has a surface sebum-regulating action and also deeply cleanses the skin, removes debris and surface sebum, and unblock pores in preparation for skincare. It also contains an anti-bacterial agent.
Akinicare cleanser is designed to alter the skin's surface environment and ensures the skin is receptive to other products:
- Reduce surface sebum-less oily skin
- Deeply cleanse skin-removes dirt, grease and debris
- Reduce skin proliferation-surface exfoliant
- Anti-bacterial action-promote normal skin bacteria levels
- Indirectly provides calming and soothing properties-reduce pain and swelling
This is my current favourite face wash, I will definitely repurchase it. However, it is only recommended for those who have combo-oily skin.
