A Review - Skinfood Black Sugar and Honey Mask (Wash-off)

hey all, how are you guys? Im a bit all over the place now as I just started working, a.k.a entering the adulthood phase..

well, for today, Im gonna be reviewing a mask, well a wash off pack from a korean brand called  Skinfood..

In short, they are famous for their black sugar mask, but today my review is on the cousin of the original black sugar mask, the black sugar and honey mask which is targeted to sensitive skin type as it is less harsh..

and yes, the details are in Korean

this is how the mask looks like

as for the claims, mine is in korean writing, so here's what it said on the website:

"A moist black sugar honey mask containing Brazilian black sugar that is rich in minerals, and sweet honey that is good for hydration to make skin smooth and radiant. *How to Use: After cleansing, massage after skin is moistened with water, or mix with water or cosmetic water to massage face, avoiding skin around the eyes and lips. After about 10-15 minutes, rinse with lukewarm water."

the tub comes with 100g of product and cost about Rm 28.50 if you buy it from Hermo right now, at this point of the post written.. :p and it will cost more in store somehow...

Okay!!! on to the review, 

the product itself is smoother than the original black sugar mask and more liquidy, make sense right as there's honey in it... it also smells sweeter...

as for me, i repeat as for MY SKIN and my LIKING:

* it is not as effective as the original mask as the sugar particle is just in small amount

* it does exfoliate lightly, and moisturizes better...

* i can see instant brightening effect after i washed it off....

BUT !! my skin reacted badly to it for some reason.. after washing it off, all is amazing but the next day, i'll woke up with this, every single time im using it..

small bumps with white liquid in it appear everywhere T_T

and yes, that bump will last for at least 3 days, i dont know why, i dont have the problem when using the original mask but this version of black sugar mask breaks me out, it is meant for sensitive skin but, it breaks me out and I have sensitive skin...

i really want to like this, but what can i do... my skin chooses it's own friends...

so will i repurchase this? nope, I will repurchase the original black sugar mask over and over again, I'll say skip this one, stick to the original one...

that's all for now,

A Review- LACTACYD liquid skin cleansing and protection

hey all....

today im gonna do a review on a skin cleanser, which is formulated for sensitive skin and the ingredients are based on milk protein derivatives.....

the skin cleanser is called LACTACYD liquid cleansing and protect... unlike cetaphil, this product is not readily available in watson or guardian... I purchased this at my local pharmacy for RM 25 per 250ml... here is what it looks like:

the major ingredient is Lactoserum and Lactic acid

this product is supposed to cleanse your skin and increase skin renewal (make sense as lactic acid is one of the AHA ) without striping your skin protective layer... 

this product do not smell nice, it kinda smells like the leftover milk in a way for me at least... it does not produce any foam and the liquid itself is semi-transparent and milky in color.

i originally switch to this cleanser as my skin was becoming super sensitive and such a baby, lol... i dont really get acne but due to the stress and also the chemical that im exposed during my final year project, acne decided to come and say hi... not only that, my whole skin type changes....

on to the review... the first week of using this is like heaven, my skin really smoothed but slightly dry.... after that first 2 weeks, i realized that my skin became so reactive to almost anything, even simple baby powder can cause rashes... and about 3 weeks after using it... this is how my skin looked...

this was once a smooth canvas T_T

and i immediately stopped using this.....in a way this provoked my skin and i begin to breakout like crazy... small pimple and irritated bumps keeps appearing... 

and now, after 3 months, my skin basically calmed but the scars and the dark spots from this wonderful breakout has yet to fade...

do I recommend this? 

yes to those who do not has sensitive skin, and use it maybe once or twice a week only...

will i repurchase this??

nope... Im gonna stick to my trusty old the face shop cleanser.....

that's all for now

XOXO
