Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Recovery Complex II

Assalamu'alaikum...

Setelah lama jadi wishlist akhirnya kesampaian juga beli ANR alias Advanced Night Repair. ANR ini best seller serumnya Estee Lauder. Banyak yang cocok pakai serum ini tapi pas mau beli malah maju mundur karena harganya yang cukup mahal dan antrian serum yang masih panjang di rumah.. hehe

Terus kenapa sih akhirnya memutuskan untuk beli? Yuk lanjut baca..

[Skin Care Regime] Face Oil

Face Oil ini ada yang suka dan ada yang ngga suka. Kalau aku suka bangeett.. hehe.. Habisnya kulitku combi, kering di beberapa bagian sampai kadang flaky tapi oily di T-zone. Teksturnya Face Oil ini macam-macam, ada dry oil yang cair banget sampai yang thick consistency. Biasanya kalau Face Oil yang agak kental aku dilute dulu dengan SK-II FTE Spray. Pemakaiannya setelah serum supaya ngga menghambat penyerapan serum.

Menurut Website Kiehl's Indonesia, Daily Reviving Concentrate dan Midnight Recovery Concentrate masuk kategori Serum. Tapi karena teksturnya oil aku masukkan di post Face Oil. Leahlani Champagne Serum sudah dibahas di post [Skin Care Regime] Serum karena serum ini merupakan oil jadi aku repost di sini. Kalau aku menggunakan Leahlani Champagne Serum atau Leven Rose Rosehip Night Serum, biasanya step selanjutnya langsung moisturizer. Jadi sudah ngga pakai Face Oil lagi karena kedua serum ini oil-based. 

[Skin Care Regime] Serum

Paling deg-degan nulis soal serum. Biasanya setelah pakai Exfoliating Toner ngga selalu pakai Hydrating Toner tapi langsung ke serum. Bagian ini paling sering ganti-ganti, bukan karena ngga cocok tapi penasaran pengen coba aja kalau ada yang menarik.

Kenapa sih perlu serum? Karena partikel serum lebih kecil dari moisturizer sehingga dapat menyerap ke bagian kulit lebih dalam dari yang dapat dijangkau oleh moisturizer. Umumnya serum lebih kaya nutrisi dan bekerja lebih optimal.

Vitacreme B12 Vitablanc and Day Cream Sun Protection Review

Alohaa.. Senangnyaa dapet freebies lagi dari Sociolla ^^

Alhamdulillah kali ini aku dapat :

Vitacreme B12 Vitablanc Lightening Beauty Cream dan Day Cream Sun Protection

These combo is what I need to reduce my dark spots. Well, I'm having some issues with dark spots on my cheeks. Let's give them a chance before I decided to do Laser Treatment.

Vitacreme B12 berasal dari Switzerland. Setelah hype di Jepang akhirnya masuk Indo juga dan ada di Sociolla, senangnyaaa..
Vitacreme B12 adalah skincare yang mengandung Vitamin B12 sebagai bahan aktifnya. Vitamin B12 atau disebut juga dengan kobalamin banyak di temukan di bahan makanan yang berasal dari hewan. Karena itu, umumnya vegan harus mengonsumsi suplemennya agar tidak kekurangan. Vitamin ini berperan penting dalam pembentukan energi dan juga berbagai proses penting dalam tubuh. Selain itu, ternyata vitamin B12 memiliki banyak manfaat bagi kecantikan kulit, yaitu : mencegah kulit kusam, mencegah kulit kering, mencegah hyperpigmentation, dan mencegah penuaan kulit.

Nah, karena manfaat itulah kenapa Vitacreme mengandalkan Vitamin B12 sebagai bahan aktifnya.

Vitacreme B12 Vitablanc Lightening Beauty Cream adalah krim rekonstruktif dan kaya akan nutrisi untuk memperbaiki struktur kulit. Mengandung zat berharga yang dapat memutihkan kulit. Krim ini memutihkan kulit dengan cepat, mengurangi tanda pigmentasi dan mencegah perkembangannya, meratakan warna kulit, menjadikan kulit Anda bercahaya, juga memberikan kulit elemen nutrisi untuk mencegah hilangnya kekencangan dan elastisitas kulit, dan untuk memastikan kulit lembab sampai ke lapisan atas epidermis.
 Sayangnya Vitablanc mengandung Salicylic Acid yang sebaiknya dihindari jika sedang hamil.

Vitablanc memiliki kemasan tube seperti Parasol, serum ini berwarna pink muda (which I love) Saat apply Vitablanc ke wajah yang telah dibersihkan, aku merasa serum ini 'ngambang' dan ngga bisa terserap kulit. Aku massage pelan dengan gerakan memutar kurang-lebih 1 menit baru deh bisa lanjut step berikutnya : Day Cream Sun Protection.

Vitacreme B12 Day Cream Sun Protection SPF 30+++ adalah day cream yang mengandung vitamin B5, C, E dan B12. Berfungsi sebagai anti-aging, antioxidant, melembabkan dengan maksimal, juga waterproof.

Aku suka Day Cream ini mengandung SPF 30+++ yang berarti PA+++ memiliki proteksi yang tinggi, akan tetapi mempunyai efek lebih berminyak. Day Cream ini waterproof tapi aku belum pernah coba untuk aktifitas di air. Kemasannya travel friendly jadi sering aku bawa untuk reapply.

Vitacreme B12 Day Cream Sun Protection agak whitecast saat apply di wajah. Karena aku lanjutkan dengan CC Cushion & make up jadi ngga masalah.

So far aku sudah pakai Vitacreme B12 ini selama lebih dari 2 minggu. Belum ada improvement yang signifikan sih untuk darkspots, tapi complexion wajahku memang jadi lebih cerah ^^

My Skincare Regime

Alohaa.. Today I'm gonna write about my current skincare regime. Although I rarely do full make-up but I always cleanse my face double, it's because I always apply sunblock/sunscreen. Due to let my face 'breathing' so I have to clean my face before go to sleep.

Recently I'm using skincare from SK-II (mostly)

From left to right :

Muji Sensitive Cleansing Oil

SK-II Facial Treatment Gentle Cleanser

SK-II Facial Treatment Essence

SK-II Whitening Power Spot Specialist

SK-II Aura Essence

SK-II Cellumination Day Surge UV SPF 30 

 

After work I always cleanse my face from (light) make-up and sunscreen with Muji Sensitive Cleansing Oil. Frankly, I prefer Muji Mild Cleansing Oil. Muji Sensitive has thicker texture than Muji Mild. Both don't have any smell and give the same result : squeaky clean! ^^

SK-II Facial Treatment Gentle Cleanser has nice white pearly tube packaging. This cleanser has rosy fragrance, which I like. I just need small amount, blend with water to create foamy lather.

 It cleanses and refreshes my skin very well without leaving it feeling tight and uncomfortable.

 

Well, this is my HG pre-essence : SK-II Facial Treatment Essence aka FTE. I always have back-up :LOL: I could use it for pre-essence, drop onto mask sheet and use it for weekly booster, pour in glass bottle spray to refresh my face anytime I want. As pre-essence, I like to apply FTE with Selection Round Facial Cotton. This cotton is quite solid. I always tear the cotton into 2, so I could use 1 in the morning and 1 at night ^o^ 

No, I don't use it together. When I was pregnant, I won't use any whitening skincare. So I have to change

SK-II Whitening Power Spot Specialist to SK-II Aura Essence.

SK-II Whitening Power Spot Specialist have whitening effect. I apply it on my dark spots - all over my face - and dab on my dark spots again. I don't see any improvement with my dark spots but It really works improve my complexion.

SK-II Aura Essence have brightening effect. It has milky pearl (fine shimmer) liquid but don't make your face look shimmery. I love to apply it while I'm pregnant because my face looks fresh.

 And the end of my skincare regime is sunscreen. I like glowy effect that SK-II Cellumination Day Surge UV SPF 30 give. I feel my skin tight and firm. The texture is thick, you have to warm it first (I warm it with my three fingers) then apply with swipe gesture on your face.

I bought SK-II products at Sogo or Metro. Or you could buy them at Sociolla for discount price

That's my skincare regime. I'd love to read your skincare regime too. If you want to share or ask something about this post please write down your comment below or chatbox on the right side.

 

Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate

 I was wondering why everytime I step into Kiehl's counter the KCR eager to recommend this Midnight Recovery Concentrate. When I drop onto my palm I smell lavender scent. Such a heaven! I read the bottle and found It hasn't any mineral oil and no paraben. I love the blue amber bottle and light oil texture. Let's give it a try ^^

Midnight Recovery Concentrate has unique application method for optimal benefits. First, dispense 2-3 drops onto your palm and pat the oil with two hands together to spread on the surface of your hands. Then soothe the scent of essential oil. This part makes me relax and fall asleep :lol:

Gently press your palm onto your cheeks - forhead - chin so the oil can penetrates to your skin. You can lightly massage circular motions with your fingertips. I suggest don't spread onto eye area because oil can cause eyebags. If excess formula remains, pat onto neck.

Kiehl's website says :

Purely Potent Over-Night Repair
• Lightweight, overnight treatment.
• Regenerates, repairs, and replenishes skin for a smoother, healthier skin.
• Works with the skin’s natural nocturnal activity when skin is most receptive to repairing itself from daily aggressors to dramatically restore skin.

• Kiehl’s Insider Tip: Layer over Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate for optimal anti-aging and healthier skin benefits. 

How To Apply:

Apply 2-3 drops on cleansed skin
Gently press fingertips to cheeks, forehead, and chin to evenly distribute the application before gently massaging it into the skin
Can be worn alone or under moisturizer

Evening Primrose Oil is an effective on skin barrier repair and boosting radiance.

Lavender Essential Oil helps soothe inflamed or irritated skin while helping reduce skin blotchiness for a more even look. Creates a brighter and more radiant look to skin.

Squalane is a healing botanical lipid with a high affinity for skin to instantly restore and replenish.

First time I dispense 3 drops of MRC and I realize it feels too oily. Then I reduce to 2 drops and it feels just right. Lately I'm using Clearly Corrective Darkspot Solution from Kiehl's as a serum, so I spread MRC after it just 1 drop. Well, 1 drop is enough for me. My face looks glowing instantly!

My face look fresh and youthful glow in the morning. I have dry and sensitive skin and this stuff keeps my skin nourished and refreshed without irritating it. I love it. After just a few uses, my skin is noticeably healthier. I've got the deluxe sample of MRC from Halloween Goodiebag promo, it's very useful when I'm travelling. The KCR gave me the sample sachet since they know I would recommend it to my colleagues at work ^^

Packaging : 5 from 5

Quality : 5 from 5

Overall : 5 from 5

Price : IDR 575.000

Repurchase? lasts forever since you only need a drop each night

Aubeau Spot Clearness Serum

Akhir-akhir ini aku tertarik untuk mencoba produk lokal. Mungkin karena mudah didapat dan kualitasnya cukup bagus. Setelah baca review di FD ada yg pernah pakai Aubeau Spot Clearness Serum dan lumayan ngefek. Jadi waktu ke Pasar Baru aku coba beli deh. Kemasannya kecil bgt cuma 10ml. Kata BAnya dipakai di seluruh wajah dulu supaya cerahnya merata, setelah botol kedua baru deh dioleskan pada spot..

Creamnya warna putih, transparant ketika dioleskan. Serum ini ngga ngefek di aku, ngga membuat lebih cerah juga. Jadi aku pakai untuk moisturizer aja ;D
