<u><b><span style="font-size: large;">My views:</span></b></u><br />
<br />
Love it. The claim 'soft pink lips' is actually true. Because it does reveal natural soft, pink lips. And it's not something extraordinary. Although there's no ingredients mentioned on the product but I believe it's just petroleum jelly. As I already said in my review for Vaseline - Petroleum Jelly, it exfoliates quite well. And exfoliation does not necessarily mean scrubbing or rubbing a thing with granules or beads and then washing it off. It sinks in and does the job from within. It softens up the hard skin over your lips and makes it ready to peel off. But you have to do the peeling. (Don't expect it to do that instantly or in just one go. Keep applying it regularly and religiously after every wash. Skin will soften up within the next day.) Also, don't forget to apply it again after peeling the skin to keep lips moisturized after exfoliation. <br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>Pros:</b></u></span><br />
<br />
<ul><li>Does what it claims.</li>
<li>Sinks in. Doesn't leave a greasy film.</li>
<li>Convenient packaging. (Squeeze tube).</li>
<li>Eye candy. (Yes, it's a cute tube).</li>
<li>Affordable. (Whether it's affordable depends on one's point of view, though. It's 60 pkr for this tube. (I don't know the size, or quantity. They didn't mention it.) <br />
But it's small. Although It lasts for a long time, but still some people would say, 75-80 for the Vaseline tub is better than 60 for this small tube. But what I think is, it's less fussy than the tub. Because I can use it anytime without worrying of contaminating the whole product by putting in dirty hands inside the tub. That doesn't mean I have dirty hands, lol. But you know what I mean.)</li>
</ul><br />
<u><b><span style="font-size: large;">Cons:</span></b></u><br />
<br />
<ul><li>If left in warm or hot weather, it melts. You can still apply it, though. But it will feel like you're applying oil.</li>
</ul><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Price: 60 pkr. Bought it at Naheed Super Market. <br />

<span style="font-size: xx-small;">* Avoid eye area. If product gets into eyes; rinse thoroughly. (That's because it contains Sodium Lauryl Sulfate which is harmful to eyes. Also to the skin, read here >> But then again, we (as in everyone) have been using SLS included products since we were kids so...)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">* St. Ives scrubs can also be used on the body.</span><br />
<br />
<b><u><span style="font-size: small;">My opinion:</span></u></b><br />
<br />
Let's start at the beginning when I first bought it. Let me tell you this was my very first scrub. I just started using them not long ago. I researched the products and found St. Ives to be the best so I went ahead and got myself some apricot goodness for my face. When I first used it; I might have scrubbed a little too hard because the next day, I had bumps on my cheeks. I freaked out and blamed this on this scrub. I thought it was too harsh. Then I read that it could happen the first time. Because all the dirt and oil that may have been hidden deep down where the regular cleansers don't reach; might have come to the surface. Which was good cause that way, it could get out and be cleansed away. But I was still paranoid about it. So, for a long while it just laid on the shelf while I tried some other scrub I bought which was fine and I didn't have any problem with. But then again, I had started to scrub lightly after that first time (which means I was subconsciously aware that it was partly my fault, I might have scrubbed hard). The other scrub was too messy for my lazy self. <u>So, at last, I decided to give St. Ives another try. So glad I did. Cause this time, it didn't cause any problems. In fact, gave me a super smooth and fresh look. Since then, I'm hooked.</u><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><u><b>Pros:</b></u></span><br />
</span></div><ul><li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Easy, convenient flip-top tube packaging.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Budget-friendly</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Moisturizing. Makes skin soft and smooth.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Cleanses & exfoliates well, reveals a healthier skin.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;">I'd say it's almost unscented. I mean, the scent in totally unnoticeable if you don't sniff the tube or the product =D (And even if you do; you won't regret it cause it's just a hint of very light, sweet smell. Peachy.)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;">I'd say does what it claims.</span></li>

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b><u>Claims:</u></b></span><br />
</span><br />
<ul><li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Transfer-resistant, Anti-trace</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Lasts 16-Hour after application</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Mineral enriched formula helps energize skin.</span></li>
</ul><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
<u><b><span style="font-size: small;">My opinion:</span></b></u><br />
<br />
I wanted to buy the 25-Hour version but they either had the 16-H one or Stay Matte. I went for the 16-H version. The color seems a bit too dark in the tube. I was afraid I had bought the wrong shade. But upon application, it turned out fine. Also, when applied; it gives kind of a white-cast first but then it blends and the white-cast goes away. It's kind of like a BB cream cause the ones I've tried; they give a white-cast and then blend into the skin and give powdery finish.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"> Let me start with the-<br />
<br />
<u><b>Consistency/Texture</b></u>: It seems watery(not too much but much like a thin cream)</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> when poured out but it dries super fast so if you put a dot on your finger for over 10 seconds, it's going to dry up. So you have to work fast. Just concentrate on one area at a time. Don't dot your face and wait. <br />
<br />
Next is the-<br />
<br />
<b><u>Smell</u></b>: Well, I like it. Though, it's a typical cosmetics-y smell but it's not bad.<br />
<br />
Now for its-<br />
<br />
<u><b>Coverage</b></u>: Medium to full. Also, It works excellent as a concealer.<br />
<br />
<u><b>Performance</b></u>: Good news, it doesn't break me out. And it gives a total matte, powdery finish. Perfect for me cause considering I have oily skin; my face is going to get shiny in a few minutes so the dewy effect will come naturally, lol. No need for a foundation to add the shine for me. Also, it <i>is </i>transfer-free but it's not water/sweat-proof. I don't know if it lasts up to 16 hours cause obviously I haven't tried it on that long. But it has a pretty decent staying power, I must say. Usually my undereye makeup disappears after like less than an hour after stepping out. But with this, it stayed put for <i>hours</i>.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><u><b>So the pros and cons are:</b></u></span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: small;">Pros</span></b>:<br />
</span><br />
<ul><li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Easy and convenient packaging. Has a nozzle-top so you control the amount you pour out. Which also gives it the hygiene factor.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Gives medium to full coverage and acts as a concealer. Also, as an eye primer. Yes. I wore eyeshadow after applying this foundation on my lids and around the eye area and it stayed on for hours!! On MY lids, which is a big deal cause no eyeshadow tends to stick for more than an hour.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Has a matte finish. So you don't need to set it with powder.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Lasts for a long time.<span style="font-size: xx-small;"> (I haven't timed it, though :/ )</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Transfer-free.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;">I'm not sure about the "Mineral enriched formula helps energize skin". But it also doesn't do the opposite so it's all good.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Budget-friendly.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Best for oily/combination skin types.</span></li>
</ul><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
<b><span style="font-size: small;">Cons:</span></b><br />
</span><br />
<ul><li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Might not be suitable for dry skin types. Don't take my word for it, though. Cause I haven't tried it on someone with dry skin.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Colors/shades are limited. And the Ivory is not the fairest of them all (pun intended). So, if you are really pale, you wouldn't find a shade to fit you.</span></li>
</ul><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
<br />
<br />
<u><b><span style="font-size: small;"> Do I recommend it?</span></b></u><br />
<br />
Yes, if you want a shine-free day. So, yes for oily/combination skin types. Not too sure about dry types.</span><br />

<u><b>My Opinion</b></u>:<br />
<br />
I bought the 20g version of it just to test it out. It's a really cute tube and it's not plastic, it's kind of a rubber because it squeezes and is soft. So cute. Anyway, moving on.<br />
The cream inside is just like its sister, Pond's Flawless White, white with a pinkish tint. And the smell, too. But the result isn't. At first when applied, it gives the same effect. Like you have a light powder on. Clean, matte and fresh look. But after a while, it oxidized on me and left kind of weird dark shadows around the bridge of my nose every time I used it. So I stopped using it. Shame cause the tube is so cute. I don't feel like wasting it even if it's only 20 g(less now). Maybe I'll use it on my neck.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">I bought it for 90 or 95 Pkr. I, um, forgot >.<</span><br />
<br />
<u><b>Do I recommend it?</b></u><br />
<br />
Not really. Not for regular use but if you have to run errands and need to freshen up your face in a hurry then yes. Otherwise, nope.<br />

<i><b>Salicylic Acid</b></i> (2%):</span><br />

</span><br />
<ul><li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><u>What it does</u>: Acne is formed when skin cells inside hair follicles shed too fast and clump together, plugging up the follicle and causing a pimple.

</ul><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">* Avoid using other acne medications at the same time as Salicylic acid such as Benzoyl Peroxide, etc. Or it can cause severe dryness and flakiness.</span></span><br />

Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash gets deep into pores to treat the breakouts you have now and helps to prevent future breakouts. This effective, yet gentle cleanser deep cleans without overdrying or irritation. Rinses clean, leaving no pore-clogging residue. Skin comforters soothe and condition, helping to prevent irritation.<br />

<u><b><span style="font-size: small;">My opinion:</span></b></u><br />
<br />
I have oily skin and when I wash my face, it gets shiny after only a few minutes. When I started using this as a face wash regularly, I noticed something. My face felt really tight and it was really dry around my mouth. I had to use heaps of moisturizer every time I washed my face and I'm too lazy to do that. I was confused because it was summer and my face didn't even get that dry in winter. Then I caught the culprit. It was this face wash of course. I should've known but I was new to the anti-acne, medicated washes at that time. It has 2% Salicylic Acid which is why it's supe<span class="messageBody" data-ft="{"type":3}">r d</span></span><span class="messageBody" data-ft="{"type":3}"><span style="font-size: x-small;">rying.</span> <span style="font-size: xx-small;">(Usually medicated moistu</span></span><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span class="messageBody" data-ft="{"type":3}">rize</span><span class="messageBody" data-ft="{"type":3}">rs o</span><span class="messageBody" data-ft="{"type":3}">r tone</span></span><span class="messageBody" data-ft="{"type":3}"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">rs have 0.2% to 0.5% SA.)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I stopped using it like a face wash immediately. Then I got an idea:<br />
I used it like you would use an ointment. Oh no, I didn't spread the gel on my face and leave it on. Nope. Every time I got a pimple, I squirted out a tiny amount of this gel, moistened and made it into a lather and only applied the foam on the pimple area and then washed it off. Voila! No extra, unnecessary dryness. This way, you treat only what needs to be treated. It really works. It's awesome like that. It instantly(I mean, within the day) reduces the size of the pimple, dries it out and the next day, it's gone. Good, eh?</span><br />

</a></div>And before I jump to the pros and cons, let me tell you that I've worn this without primer and its staying power is absolute love. Also, I wore this with <i>Rimmel London Lasting Finish Foundation </i><span style="font-size: xx-small;">(review coming up later)</span> and it didn't budge or smudge at all.<br />
<br />

Also, it might look like it's too shimmery but it's not. When applied, it looks matte and the little bit shimmer only shows up in flash photos.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Pros</b>:<br />
<br />
<ul><li>Smooth</li>
<li>No fall-outs when applying</li>
<li>Long-lasting</li>
<li>Nicely Pigmented</li>
<li>Good color pay-off</li>
<li>Affordable</li>
<li>Good amount of product. It's small but you don't need much for one application. It can go on and on.</li>
<li>Travel-friendly packaging. </li>
<li>Tightly locking lid/cap so no worry of it accidentally opening up and touch dirty surfaces.. </li>
</ul><br />
<b>Cons</b>:<br />
<br />
<ul><li>Not-so-cute packaging. (But that's okay. You get a really good product inside).</li>
</ul><br />
<br />
<b>Do I recommend it?</b><br />
<br />
I really love this and with the price tag it comes with, it's a steal! So yes, definitely recommended.<br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><b>My experience with it:</b></span><br />
</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
I love it!! I was actually on the fence about buying it because usually these 'fairness' and 'glow' creams don't work and turn out to be awful products. But I gave into the ads and it's packaging and just bought it. I'm so glad I did. (By the way, this one's from 'Philippines')<br />
At first when you apply it, it gives you a white but matte & clean look. Like you would with other cosmetic creams (e.g. <i>Fair & Lovely.)</i> </span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> But don't worry if you don't like the fake-whitening effect cause it goes away after a little while. It seems kind of heavy when you take it out but it's not. It doesn't feel heavy on my face even though I have oily skin. After using it for over a week, I noticed a difference. First of all, the oil control was awesome!! Not only when I have it on but even when I don't. Also, its claim to reduce dark spots and perfecting skin tone, I would say, is spot on. Yes, I noticed the difference.<br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"> <span style="font-size: small;"><b>Pros:</b></span></span><br />
<ol><li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">The packaging!!!! <span style="font-size: xx-small;">(No, I'm not shallow. I don't only buy the p</span></span></span><span style="font-size: xx-small;">roducts because of their packaging. I actually researched about this product before I bought but you've gotta admit the packaging alone should be enough to convince you ;) lol )</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Awesome oil-cont</span><span style="font-size: small;">rol and matte look.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Effectiveness.</span></span> Actually does what it claims to a large extent.</li>
<li>The smell. <span style="font-size: xx-small;">That rosy kind of creamy smell. </span><span style="font-size: xx-small;">(This one depends on person to person</span><span style="font-size: xx-small;">, though)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">The texture.<span style="font-size: x-small;"> I mean, it's PINK!!</span> <span style="font-size: xx-small;">Lol.</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Doesn't break you out. <span style="font-size: xx-small;">Sco</span></span><span style="font-size: xx-small;">re!!</span><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></li>
</ol>Cons:<br />
<ol><li> <span style="font-size: x-small;">I don't believe there are any cons. But just for the sake of it, I guess the price. But you know, it wouldn't be fair to a product this good to be cheaper than this!</span></li>
</ol><i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(And yes, I don't count the 'jar' packaging a con, some people would. But I always use a clean Cotton-bud to take it out.)</span></i> <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"> So I would definitely recommend it!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
<br />
<u><i> </i></u></span><u><i><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="st"><i>R</i></span>ecommended.</b></span></i></u><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b> </b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">It's available at Naheed Super Market for 875 Pkr (50 g) [Almost double than its actual price listed below]. <br />
It costs 249 PHP in Philippines.<br />
I don't think it's available in the US but if it is; it's really hard to find.</span></span><br />

I love the packaging, it's super easy. Pump with a turning lock. Also, it's oil-free and noncomedgonic which means it won't clog pores. Hence, won't cause acne. Which it doesn't, which is what I was looking for. But I was also looking for a light-weight moisturizer that would keep my face matte. And it does the opposite. It makes my face so greasy after application. Even after it's been absorbed, my face gets dull-looking. And it doesn't have a silky feel either; I would say it's on the verge of sticky. Not too much, though, but it is. But I must say when I wash it off, after a few hours or in the morning; it makes my face smooth and soft.<br />
So, I can't use it in the day (ironic, huh? Seeing as it's made for the day as it contains spf) because of the greasiness and dullness. But I can use it at night(just a teensy amount) and have soft skin in the morning. Plus, it doesn't clog my pores so yay!!</span><br />

Yes, actually. For the greasiness; it might be different for you. But for the moisturizing effect; definitely worth a try.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">It costs around 525 Pkr. (I bought it from Chase Up)</span><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><span style="font-size: small;">It's not a runny gel, it's thick. So you have to wet your face and palms before applying it.<br />
For this product, I can't say 'a little goes a long way'. Because it doesn't. If I take a tiny amount and try to spread it; it doesn't. So, I just work it from one part to another by taking out the product in turns. So at first when I saw the size '100 g', I said, "Wow, that's good. It's going to take forever to finish it off." But nope. For one time scrubbing, you need at least 2-3 generous squirts.<br />
<br />
So, the feeling when I apply it? You can guess, tingly. Because of the mint, of course. For me, it's good, cooling sensation. Especially when washing it off. Ooh, it feels so cold and refreshing even in this hot weather. But that's good, right? At least in summer. <br />
But for some; (specially the ones with sensitive skin) it might feel really strong and even sting. Cause even when not putting it around my eyes, it makes them kind of sensitive and I close them.<br />
<br />
<u><b> So does it do what it claims?</b></u></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><u><b><br />
</b></u></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I've used it thrice and each time didn't notice anything spectacular about it despite the claims. I can't say much for the blackheads because the <i>Purederm Acne Wash Cleansing Tissues </i>take care of them for me so I don't know if this scrub makes any difference. But the reduction in pimple marks or clogged pores? Not so much. It didn't do anything for the tiny bump/clogged pore on the bridge of my nose. It's still there. And for the cleansing purpose? Meh. Just like any other cleanser would do. Nothing special. No glowy look, no extra soft skin after using it (like I do with other scrubs I would post about later). So, it's just an okay product.<br />
And it's 425</span><span class="st" style="font-size: small;"> PKR</span><span style="font-size: small;"> at <i>Naheed Super Market</i> so it might be considered expensive for the little it does for its claims.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">A specific common ingredient used in so many products (Shampoos, Face Washes, Scrubs, etc.) called '<b>Sodium Laureth Sulfate</b> or <b>Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS)</b> is/can be so <b>dangerous </b>and <b>harmful</b>. I'm going to show you what the article says, read on:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span><br />
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">Both Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) and its close relative Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) are commonly used in many soaps, shampoos, detergents, toothpastes and other products that we expect to "<b>foam up</b>". Both chemicals are very effective foaming agents, chemically known as surfactants.<br />
Unfortunately, both sodium laureth sulfate and its cousin are also very dangerous, highly irritating chemicals. Far from giving "healthy shining hair" and "beautiful skin", soaps and shampoos containing sodium laureth sulfate can lead to direct damage to the <b>hair follicle, skin damage, permanent eye damage in children</b> and even <b>liver toxicity</b>.<br />
A report published in the Journal of The American College of Toxicology in 1983 showed that concentrations of SLS as low as 0.5% could cause irritation and concentrations of 10-30% caused skin corrosion and severe irritation. Shampoos are among the most frequently reported products to the FDA. Reports include <b>eye irritation, scalp irritation, tangled hair, swelling of the hands, face and arms and split and fuzzy hair</b>. This is highly characteristic of sodium laureth sulfate and almost definitely directly related to its use.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>So why is a dangerous chemical like sodium laureth sulfate used in our soaps and shampoos?<br />
</b></span><br />
The answer is <b>simple - it is cheap</b>. The <b>sodium laureth sulfate</b> found in our soaps is exactly the same as you would find in a car wash or even a garage, where <b>it is used to degrease car engines</b>.<br />
In the same way as it dissolves the grease on car engines, SLES also dissolves the oils on your skin, which can cause a drying effect. It is also well documented that it <b>denatures skin proteins,</b> which causes not only irritation, but also allows environmental contaminants easier access to the lower, sensitive layers of the skin.<br />
This denaturing of skin proteins may even be implicated in skin and other cancers.<br />
Perhaps most worryingly, <b>sodium laureth sulfate is also absorbed into the body from skin application</b>. Once it has been absorbed, one of the main effects of SLS is to mimic the activity of the hormone Oestrogen. This has many <b>health implications </b>and may be responsible for a variety of health problems from PMS and Menopausal symptoms to dropping male fertility and increasing female cancers such as breast cancer, where oestrogen levels are known to be involved.</span></i><br />

</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">I really don't know what to do now. Not all products have it but majority does. I've got 2 scrubs, shampoos and many face washes containing this, lol. And who knows how long we have been using these products? Well, duh, since childhood. But upon knowing this, I just can't seem to ignore it. And I thought you should know, too. So at least you know what you're putting on your face and hair even if you decide to ignore this and use them.</span></span>PiNkIsHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17068639878522678892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4760280460347141435.post-15148481366806162812011-08-07T01:35:00.001-07:002011-08-07T01:38:24.303-07:00Bloglovin'<a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/2791543/pinkish-glow?claim=859g6s2fh23">Follow my blog with Bloglovin</a>PiNkIsHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17068639878522678892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4760280460347141435.post-77654285068535858072011-08-05T14:54:00.000-07:002011-08-05T14:54:44.098-07:00Garnier Skin Naturals Light - Moisturizing Cream<div style="text-align: center;"><u><b>Garnier Skin Naturals Light - Whiten and Protect Moisturizing Cream SPF 15</b></u></div><br />

<u><b> <br />
</b></u><br />
So, I decided to try this product out since I read a review about it on Sara Hassan's Blog. The anti-dark spots and dullness parts really pulled me in and I bought it.<br />
<br />
<br />
First, let me tell you that I have oily and acne-prone skin and I stay as far away from such creams as possible unless there's a big, bold 'non-comedogenic' (non pore clogging) sign on it somewhere. This doesn't say it was non-comedogenic but it does have<b> Salicylic Acid </b>which fights and treats acne. So, I was really excited.<br />
<br />
By the way, I got it from Naheed Super Market for Rs. 325.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;">How to use it?</span></b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><br />
- Apply daily on pe</span>rfectly cleansed skin. It is an excellent base for make up.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><br />
- Gently massage into the skin, moving f</span>rom the center of your face outwards and from the base of your neck to top.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>My experience with it:</b></u></span><br />
<br />
<br />
When I first applied it; I didn't know what amount to take out so I used to apply liberal amount of the product and massage it in. It used to create a white cast and what freaked me out was that when rubbed; the cream flaked out like the dust of a pencil eraser. Then I tried a different approach and took just a little amount of it and massaged it for a bit then patted it on. It was a little better but it still showed a hint of a white cast and you could tell what areas the cream was applied to. (Since I avoided the eye area). What more? It still kind of flaked out a bit but I ignored it for the time being. I first used it on and off for a while which didn't make a difference. Then I decided to use it regularly and see if it did what it claimed.<br />
<br />
First let me tell you the <b>pros</b>:<br />
<br />
<ol><li><b>I love the packaging. The tub/little jar is so cute.</b></li>
<li><b>The smell is really nice. Some find fragrances in moisturizer/creams off-putting. But it's not too bad, it's not that strong. It's really refreshing.</b></li>
<li><b> It absorbs quickly. <span style="font-size: x-small;">(But... read the 4th con :D )</span></b><br />
</li>
</ol><br />
<br />
And the <b>cons</b>:<br />
<br />
<ol><li><b>It's really sticky. Check your hands, try and clap them together after applying it. Seriously, it's very sticky.</b></li>
<li><b> Applying lemon and going out in the sun is a big 'no' so I was reluctant to apply it in the day even if it had spf. So I only used it at night.<br />
</b></li>
<li><b>The oil control factor? Not really. Definitely not when you have it on. when I have it on; it makes my face even oilier than before and makes it look duller. I couldn't wait to wash it off every morning.</b></li>
<li><b>It flakes when you rub it.</b></li>
</ol><br />
I used it regularly for a week and saw a difference. It brightened up my face, maybe even lightened a bit. It looked fresh <span style="font-size: x-small;">(note: After washing it off. Not when I had the cream on)</span>. And the best part was; I noticed that my face was less oilier even after a few hours of washing.<br />
So, I was really excited and I decided to continue using it for another week and lo and behold! There they were: Breakouts!! I got one around my nose and it was a painful one which left a mark. Also on my forehead.<br />
It clogged my pores and caused breakouts even with Salicylic Acid in it? I immediately stopped using it.<br />
But what do I find then? After 2-3 days of stopping it; my face became oily and dull again. Maybe because I hadn't completed their '28-days' challenge but I just couldn't after those pimples!!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>Conclusion:</b></u></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b><br />
</b></u></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Oily and acne-p</span></span>rone skins, either stay away from this cream or use it with intervals. From me, it gets a big thumbs down just because of the pimples.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">(But I'm on the fence about whether I should give it another shot... I'll let you know if I do and if I do; I'll do it in intervals like I said. Not regularly.) </span><br />

<b>Purederm is an asian(Korean) brand by Adwin Korea Corp. Distributed in/by Philippines.</b><br />
<b>This is the third time I've bought their cleansing tissues/cloths. The first one I got weren't the pre-moistened ones. They were exfoliating, dry cloths which when dipped in hot or warm water, lathered up real nice and cleansed thoroughly. I really loved those. But the next time I went to buy them, they weren't available. Instead, I got these pre-moistened tissues from the same brand. But since I have oily skin and am prone to breakouts, I bought the ones for Acne. There were also:</b><br />
<ul><li><b>Age Defying Cleansing Tissues</b></li>
<li><b>Normal/regular Cleansing Tissues</b></li>
</ul><br />
<br />

<br />
<b><u>Contains:</u></b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>As you can see in the picture and guess by the name, it contains <u>Salicylic Acid</u> which treats acne and is also an exfoliant. It also contains <u>Tea Tree Oil</u> which, again, is good for and treats acne/breakouts. And Aloe Vera, nothing complicated here, I'm sure most of you know this one. <u>Aloe Vera</u> moisturizes the skin and soothes itching and redness. It lightens dark spots on the face and reduces the intensity of pigmentation. It also acts as a barrier to skin against pollutants. And the list of benefits is endless.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>The tissues have a mild scent. At first, I was like, "It smells like medicines!!" Well, of course it would cause it's for acne treatment but it isn't too major. It's faint and subtle. After using it for a couple of times; you don't even notice it.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b><u>How to use:</u></b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Just take one tissue (and it's thick as a cloth) out and massage in circular motions. I even clean my eye area with it and it doesn't dry it out. Even after using it on face and neck; the tissue remains so moist that you can use it on other body parts as well like elbows, hands, feet.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>As for the make up removing part: It does remove most of it, cause you can see it on the tissue. But to remove all of it; I had to use two and still had to wash with a cleanser.<span style="font-size: x-small;"> (By the way, using two at once is not a good idea cause it can dry out your skin even if it's oily cause it contains 0.3% salicylic acid.)</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;">The reason it doesn't remove make up is because it's pre-moistened tissue. I've never believed them to remove all of the make up. For this purpose, their old product, the cleansing cloths were perfect!! They were so good that I noticed my eye area less dark within 1-2 uses.</span></b> <br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Although it says that it tones and moisturizes, I still use my toner and moisturizer after washing my face. But that's just me.</b><br />
<b><br />

A Wondrous Product.<div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>I'm talking about the Vaseline - Petroleum Jelly. Though it is a widely known and used product; its uses and qualities are still neglected.</b></span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b><br />
</b></span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>We all know very well, it has major moisturizing properties, right? </b></span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><ul style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><li><span style="font-size: small;"><b>I mainly use it as a lipbalm and it's perfect. Inexpensive; yet the most effective lip-balm there is. It doesn't make a greasy film on your lips that lingers on forever but sinks in after a few seconds and gives deep moisture. You don't even have to exfoliate your lips every few days like we would need to get rid of the dead cells. This does the job pretty well. How? Well, keep using it as lipbalm religiously. Yes, religiously! Every time I wash my face, I apply Vaseline on lips afterwards. You keep using it like that and every few days; the upper skin layer of lips will come off easily and leave you with new and smooth skin. Just remember to apply Vaseline again after that.</b></span></li>
</ul><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b><br />
</b></span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>It says on the front: "<i>Protects minor cuts, scrapes and burns. Moisturizes to heal dryness</i>".</b></span></div><ul><li><span style="font-size: small;"><b>It's not just for gimmicks. I have used it on scrapes, scratches, minor cuts and minor burns and it instantly soothes the burning and redness and eventually heals the affected area. Just don't try to stuff it in a deep cut or wound. </b></span></li>
</ul><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><ul style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><li><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Dry hands? Apply/massage a thin layer of it. It will feel weird and a little greasy at first, mind, but as I said before; it sinks in after a while.</b></span></li>
</ul><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b><br />
</b></span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>By the way, did anyone ever unseal the paper-fold at the back of it? You'll find that there's a tiny booklet full of its qualities and uses written inside it. And it says there that this is, hold your breath...that this is 'Non-comedogenic'!! Yes!! It says:</b></span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>"<i>Contains no colors, fragrances or irritants. Hypo-allergenic and <span style="color: purple;">non-comedogenic</span></i>." <span style="font-size: x-small;">*Squeals* Ahem...</span></b></span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>First let me explain: A non-comedogenic product is which 'does NOT clog pores'. <span style="font-size: x-small;">Now you're squealing, too, aren't you?</span> It also says:</b></span></div><ul style="font-family: inherit;"><li><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Heals dry skin.</b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Reduces the appearance of fine, dry lines. </b></span></li>
</ul><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>So all this means you can use it on face, too since it's non-comedogenic. But I know, not many people are gonna go for that, me included. Although, that's because I have oily/combo skin. For dry skins, it might work, but don't take my word for it. I haven't tried it on face. OH wait...though, I HAVE used it on eyelids.</b></span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><ul style="font-family: inherit;"><li><span style="font-size: small;"><b> Yes, <span style="color: purple;">It's a <i>wonderful </i>eye make up remover</span>.</b><b> Just use it like you would use any other eye make up remover. Spread just the tiniest amount of Vaseline onto eye area: browbone, eyelid, inner corner, outer corner, under eyes, lashes, etc. and massage very lightly. Then wipe it off with a cloth/tissue. Voila! Just like that. So inexpensive. And so good for dry lids, too. Even if you wash them after wiping it off, it will still have given enough moisture to soothe the dryness.</b></span></li>
</ul><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>I have another at-home eye make up remover coming up in one of the later posts.</b></span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><b> </b></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><b><br />
</b></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><u>Other uses</u>:</span></b></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><ul style="font-family: inherit;"><li><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Applying it on eye lashes make them longer eventually <span style="font-size: x-small;">(some just consider it a myth but I might have seen a difference... o.O ) </span></b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Rubbing it on cuticles soften them up.</b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Makes perfume linger on longer if applied on the area beforehand. <span style="font-size: x-small;">(Haven't tried this one)</span> </b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Stubborn earring? Apply a light amount of it on earlobe to ease earring in, also soothe the pain.</b></span></li>
</ul><ul><li><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Also used to ease in and ease out stubborn finger rings. </b></span></li>
</ul><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>All that and more with just one product and that is so affordable and available so easily.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Some of you might have known this; some of you might not. But if this helped anyone; I'm glad! :)</b></span><br />

I haven't used a lot of products from it but whatever I have; has been gentle to my skin.</b><br />
<b>I've been using Nivea's cleansing milk for over 3 years and I love it! 3 years+, yes. That was the time I got interested in beauty, make up, skincare, etc. So, Nivea was the first ever cleansing milk that I bought.</b><br />
<b>I first got "<i>Nivea Visage - Gentle Cleansing Milk</i>".

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Contains</u></b></span><b>:</b><br />
<br />
<b>Lotus Flower Extracts and vitamins. (I had to Google Translate it because it was written in Indonesian =D )</b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Claims</u>:</b></span><br />
<br />
<b>Cleanses and Moisturizes the skin giving a fresh look. Enriched with Lotus flower extracts and vitamins, the skin is given an optimal humidity for the skin's natural moisture to stay awake when the face is clean and all around the eye.</b> <b>(</b><i><b>Thank you Google Translate</b></i><b>)</b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><u>Product type</u>:<u> </u></span></b><br />
<b>The consistency is lotion type: watery, runny, not thick. Just like (skimmed) milk. And it feels so soft and silk-like when poured onto the skin. It's NOT sticky at all. Also, you don't need to pour out heaps of it. It has a fragrance to it like all(or most) Nivea products but I usually like fragrances in products so it's pleasant for me. And it's not irritating.</b><br />
<br />
<b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>So, does it do what it says</u>?</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: small;">Yes, ofcourse! Nivea is spot on in their claims! It not only thoroughly cleanses and removes make up/dirt in just seconds; but it also keeps the skin moisturized and looking fresh. It doesn't leave an oily residue behind but if you still want to; you can wash your face afterwards. You'll be amazed to see the glow on your face, trust me. I'm not kidding.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: small;">{*Note: I haven't used it around eyes so I don't know about that :) } </span> </b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>Application</b></u><b>:</b></span><br />
<b>Just pour a few drops onto hand and spread all over the face with fingers. You don't even need to rub in too hard. Just spread all over in circular motions and massage lightly if you want to. Then wipe it off with a tissue or a clean cloth. You don't have to wait for it to sit on your skin; you can wipe it immediately after spreading it around.</b><br />
<b></b><br />
<b>You'll be amazed to see the amount of make up it takes onto the tissue.</b><br />
<br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><u>Do I recommend it?</u></span></b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Of course! Yes, yes! It's excellent. I love it. I've tried other cleansing milks but they didn't live up to its standards.</b><br />
