Missha Liquidly Facial Cleanser

Facial cleansers has come a long way. There are different types to choose from. I had tried soap, foam, cream, liquid, and so on and so forth. I've used soap during my teenage years then switch to foam type as years passed by. But lately I have been liking the liquid ones. My first venture on a liquid-type cleanser is from Skin Food. Then I have also tried from JnJ Clean and Clear (from a friend) and Innisfree Juicy Apple Line (sample). Both products are actually great and I'm thinking of getting a full size. Then Missha, a Korean cosmetic brand, had their yearly summer sale. I grabbed the opportunity to try this liquid cleanser.

Missha Liquidly Facial Cleanser - Water Gel Foam

clean deeply and thoroughly

with organic botanical ingredients

for fresh and healthy complexion

Colorants-free / Oil-free / Alcohol Free

My say:

Performance: 2/5 stars

Packaging: 4/5 stars

Pricing: 3/5 stars

This is probably one of the bad facial cleansers I've ever used. I don't like this at all. I thought this would be good for my skin since its free from colorants, oil and alcohol but I was wrong. I don't feel my skin is clean. It doesn't even give any refreshing feeling after washing. I don't see any good results with this except for the fact that I did not break-out :) At least it got a point for it (hehehe!). I have high expectation for this cleanser but it disappoint me big time. I like the idea of pump bottle. However, this is not a great idea to bring along on travels since it doesn't come with any thing to completely locked it. It would be better to transfer it to a travel bottle to avoid any spill on your luggage. I got this on sale from the Missha summer sale last year and been staying on my beauty basket for a long time. I end up using it to clean my make-up brushes :) There is no way I'm getting this. I'm even having second thoughts if I should purchase other variants from this line. 

There will always be products that you won't be happy purchasing like in this case. Be sure to get it on sale if you just want to try it or better with a sample. At least you know that certain products isn't the one for you. Enjoy the last day of the month :)

Nature Republic All Grain Farm Cleansing Oil

Cleansing oil is a must have for my nightly cleansing session. I got hook ever since the first cleansing oil I have used. Its a must to use this since I'm using sunblock and make-up everyday. I have used different brands and this is the first from Nature Republic.

Nature Republic All Grain Farm Cleansing Oil

My say:

Performance: 3/5 stars

Packaging: 4/5 stars

Pricing: 3/5 stars

It's an okay cleanser. It does remove make-up well. However, it leaves an oily feel after using it. It can hurt your eyes. I don't like its quite strong 'grainy-farm' smell. I did not expect the smell of it. However, the smell was tolerable after few times of using it. No irritations nor allergies :) This is the smallest cleansing oil I have used with 100ml. It comes in a plastic-pump bottle. I got this on sale at around PhP 200++ at my suki. I'm not gonna buy this product again. I'm not really happy using this cleansing oil.

Happy Dragon Year to all :)

Anew Clinical Advanced Retexturizing Peel

Finding something that works well for your skin is a bliss. You know you've found the one that is right for you when you know there is no turning back. That's how I felt when I got to use the Anew Clinical Advanced  Retexturizing Peel by Avon.

Anew Clinical Advanced Retexturizing Peel

Glycolic plus soothing extracts

My say:

Performance: 5/5 stars

Packaging: 3.5/5 stars

Pricing: 3.5/5 stars

I love anything that says glycolic. Ever since I had my first Glycolic Peel, I never turn my back on glycolic products. Its the best to combat acne and post-acne! My skin has improved a lot ever since I used this product. Though I still get bumps from time to time, they are gone after 1-2 days :) This is like a toner. I used this every other day (night time) and follow-up with a moisturizer. I somehow noticed slight improvement on my pores and on some post-acne marks. However, it took me more than a month to see the difference. It stings upon application but it subsides after a few seconds. With every chemical peel session, a good sunblock is highly needed to keep the skin The packaging comes in a big plastic tub. I'm not a fan of the packaging because it is bulky to bring along on your travel. It has 30 cottons which lasts up to 2-months (if used every other day). You can't keep it open for awhile or else the cottons may get dried-up. I got this on a sale price of Php499 at a local Avon dealer and the regular price is Php1000. Great deal indeed! I would love to get this product again but somehow it isn't anymore available in my local Avon dealer :( I hope to stock up on this soon :)

Happy 2012 to y'all!
