[Sponsored] Bioré UV AQUA Rich Watery Gel

Recently the weather is so warm that I hate to step out of the house every single time. Really every single time, especially when the sun-ray looks like it's gonna BBQ the shit out of me. Even when I want to head down to the market opposite my house, I always stare at the weather for a long time before I decide to head down to get my lunch :(.

At times like this, Sunscreen is heavily relied out, besides my UV-protection umbrella that is. I will always get sunscreen that has SPF50 with 3+, for there are days where I will be out for the whole day. And each SPF gives you about 15 min to 20 mins worth of protection from UV rays, SPF50 gives u about 12 to 16 hours of protection and +++ is the Japanese rating, which indicates how much protection you are receiving against UV rays.

But every now and then i always look out for new sunscreen to try out, hopefully there are improved products out in the market to combat UV. It is quite shocking to hear some of my friends not applying sunscreen daily when they are out. The reason they gave? "Sunscreeen very stickyyyyy, I no likeeeee" =_='''

UV rays are harmful to our skin and it expedite aging process. Some indication of UV rays damages on your skin are sun spots, wrinkles, freckles, discolouration, dryness. Worse cases of UV rays damage would be skin cancer :(.

My dad too have the same problem with applying sunscreen, and he has to work under the sun for long hours. Right now, he is working hard to make sure that his skin is protected against UV rays (of coz, with a daughter like me, who stocks up his sunscreen for him). He is facing sun spots, pre-mature skin aging, discolouration and dryness, all due to UV rays. *tsk*

New sunscreen from Bioré!

And Ta-da! Recently Bioré have come out their new and enhanced series, offering SPF50+ and 4 PA+ protection. That is the highest protection in the industry so far. Now I can rest assured that my sunscreen is able to give my skin the fullest protection of bad UV rays!

Bioré UV AQUA Rich Watery Gel is their newest addition to the sunscreen protection and I can use this for my face and body too! One bottle for all protection! Like many others, I don't really like sticky sunscreen that will leave my face and skin a little unbearable before I head out, but I will still apply a SPF50+++ sunscreen. Most sunscreen are not only sticky but thick in texture.

Easy to stuff it in my bag!

But Bioré UV AQUA Rich Watery Gel changed my perspective about sunscreen after I tried it on the first time. It is not only giving me the double protection with its enhanced SPF50+/PA++++, it is actually light and watery in texture, like the name suggested. When I applied it, I don't feel any stickiness and it is easy to apply without feeling like I'm applying a coat of honey. So i tried touching my face after applying like 1-2 mins, woohoo, I can feel that my skin is smooth, not sticky and it feels hydrated.

This is because Bioré UV AQUA Rich Watery Gel is infused with hyaluronic acid and citrus extract to keep the skin hydrate and fresh. Bioré UV AQUA Rich Watery Gel contains the breakthrough Aqua Micro Capsule, which breaks upon application on skin to release the UV protection agent while giving the skin a cool and refreshed feeling.

Me before applying sunscreen

Usually before I apply sunscreen, I will make sure that my face is clean, for I don't want to have that sticky feeling even before applying it. And I think I apply sunscreen as often that it has become part of my daily routine. It is def a MUST for such weather in Singapore ~~~ all year summerrrrrrr.

After applying 

After application of sunscreen, my face looks a little QQ (in texture) and it has brighten up in this pic (like a lightbulb) :D. Like I mentioned just now, there's not sticky feeling, no eekky feeling from the sunscreen and it is really light in texture. I won't even remember if I actually applied sunscreen that kind of feeling. Plus, my skin feels smooth after application ~~ Another bonus point is that Bioré UV AQUA Rich Watery Gel can act as my make up base, primer no moreeeeee.

Packing into my bag~~

Now I can enjoy my summer holidays without worrying about UV rays this summer with Bioré UV AQUA Rich Watery Gel packed for my trip! Disneyland, Universal Studio here I come!!! I'm well-prepared with Bioré UV AQUA Rich Watery Gel, summer won't not be so tanned anymore ~~ ♥ the wonderful sunscreen!

If you need sunscreen with BB base, better pores coverage, shine-free skin or even for heavy outdoor activities, you can check out other Bioré UV Series enhanced with PA++++.

• Bioré Aqua Rich Watery Essence SPF50+/PA++++
• Bioré Whitening Cream SPF50+/PA++++
• Bioré Perfect Face Milk SPF50+/PA++++
• Bioré Bright Face Milk SPF50+/PA++++

Now you can get Bioré UV AQUA Rich Watery Gel at all leading pharmacies, super & hyper markets, departmental stores, beauty stores and selected minimarts. It is retailing at $18.90/90ml, which I think should be able to last quite a bit. 

Just got one bottle yesterday for my dad, since he's already complaining that his sunscreen is running low :p.

[Sponsored] My Beauty Diary Black Obsidian Moisturizing Black

My Beauty Diary has been around in the Singapore market for quite a couple of years and I remembered trying out their Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Mask. I loved that mask a lot as my skin requires a lot of hydration replenishing. I tend to get super dry skin every once a while, especially the nose. :( And since then it has rose up to being No. 1 Facial and Eye Mask brand in Singapore with their wide range of mask, targeting different ladies with different skin issue. 

To help ladies with different skin issues, even sensitive skin, My Beauty Diary has recently improved their formula, features and packaging. The enhanced mask range now features a uniquely patented ingredient - Cosphingo™ with long-lasting moisturizing property for improved hydration, enabling the skin to feel soft and supple like baby’s skin! Made of high-quality fine and smooth cotton fibres from Japan, the cotton sheet mask feels extremely gentle on the skin, and its exceptional absorption ability allows the essences from the mask to be thoroughly absorbed by the skin, enhancing its skin care benefits. Besides the quality of the mask, the masks are free from harmful paraben preservatives, alcohol, mineral oil, pigments and fluorescent agents, making it safe for our skins ladies! 

Besides having the enhanced mask range, My Beauty Diary have recently introduced a new range to their current wide range of mask. The New Black Mask Range is their latest line and it comes with three e exquisite variants - Black Obsidian Moisturizing, Black Rose Brightening and Black Pearl Total Effect Black Masks. This new range uses the mystical black ingredients to help eliminate skin pigmentation, unevenness and loose skin caused by UV rays and environmental impurities. It also helps in restoring uneven skin tone, enhance skin elasticity, leaving our skin rejuvenated, deeply moisturized with dewy radiance! QQ like baby skin, which what most girls wish for! Wells i definitely would want my baby skin backkkkk. 

What's so special about the New Black Mask range besides the wonderful black ingredients that helps in getting baby skin radiance and texture back are the two special features of this range that are shown below. 

The two special feature of the New Black Mask range

Conforming to my neck is something I will look for in purchasing a mask, as most of the mask are still the standard facial mask, it doesn't not moisturize all the way to the neck. This is one of my concern as our neck requires daily protection and replenishing too! Masking all the way till my neck covers my jaw line, where I tend to get dry and pimple breakouts *argggh* Especially on my left side of the chin, hence this mask comes in handy in conquering all my issues on my face and neck. And with the 3D Hyaluronic acid, it doesn't lose the moisture of my skin and my skin needs deep hydration. I've not come across any mask that has Yeast Compound and it is amazing to see my skin glow after usage due to the Yeast compound contain in the mask itself. 

Black Obsidian Moisturizing Black Mask

In this range I'm going to try out Black Obsidian Moisturizing Black Mask, which is suitable for normal skin types & especially recommended for skin requiring intense hydration and illumination. This is good for ladies who work in air-con office as our skin tends to get dry up due to the dryness in the air. (I think that's why my nose's skin tends to peel off once a while) 

Each box contains 5 pieces. Selling at $16.90/box. 

The Black Obsidian Moisturizing Black Mask contains Bladder wrack seaweed, Aloe vera, and hydrolyzed Jojoba, which are essential in improving hydration in our skin, allowing it to feel optimally nourished, revitalized with glowing luminosity. Also, to relieve dry, rough and irritated skin, enriched with numerous soothing ingredients like Calendula officinalis, Licorice are added in this Black Mask. Like the name of the mask, the France Black Obsidian helps to support the skin’s protective mechanism and enhances the skin’s hydrating power. The infusion of Laminaria digitata and sugar maple delivers intense hydration to the deep layers of skin to improve dry skin texture, revealing renewed and brighter skin.

My face before using the mask. You can see the dullness and the dryness near to the chin area

This is my skin before using the mask. You can see that the skin is a little dry and yes I have pimples and clogs on my left jaw line. *sigh* 

While applying the mask

You can see that the mask fits my face just nice, unlike some 3D masks that makes you feel like you have a face too small for the mask. Some of the masks just doesn't fit nicely on the face but this mask fits fine for my face. 

After using the Black Obsidian Moisturizing Black Mask

This is after applying the Black Obsidian Moisturizing Black Mask for 20 mins. My skin looks a little firmer, less dull, brighter and the pores looks a little smaller. D said my skin looks more radiant in real life even though he got shocked by the black mask. :p I am definitely applying this mask every night before I head to bed so I would look more radiant every morning! 

My Beauty Diary's New Black Mask range is now available at http://www.naturesmart.com.sg/, a box of 5 for $16.90.

[Sponsored Post] Palmer's Skin Therapy Oil for face

As we entered the third month of this brand new year, and about a week after Lunar New Year, I feel that my facial skin looks a little dull and wells, old looking. I think I've reached to the point where I should start to do daily face and neck massage, so that my face will look more uplifted and less wrinkles. Not that I have lots of visible wrinkles but smile lines are definitely too deep. :(

Skin Therapy Oil for Face

Recently, Palmer's have introduced a new product, Palmer's Skin Therapy Oil, which is a multi-purpose skin perfecting dry oil for face & neck. Probably something that can help in targeting my worried issues, as this is specially formulated to deliver targeted anti-ageing skin care benefits directly to the face and neck. I always remember my neck, which is important as most people tends to forget that their neck skin ages too! So whatever facial products you are applying on your face can be used for your neck too.

Founded in America in 1840s, Palmer's has been around for a long time and since then it has become one of the world’s leading names in skincare, a brand that women around the world have grown up with. Their unique heritage and commitment to quality has stood the test of time. Generations of families have loved the fantastic moisturizing qualities of Palmer’s skincare range, and millions of women around the world agree. Palmer's number #1 formula, the Cocoa Butter Formula, is one of their key offerings in their wide range products. They do not just specialize in facial care but also in hand and body care, stretch mark care, hair care, body care and personal care.

Some people may not like the thick smell of Cocoa Butter, I am one of them, but when it comes to Palmer's products, I'm willing to try as the smell is not over powering and they are effective. Besides being effective, they are still committed in creating affordable products so that anyone can have a chance to have the best skincare route.

Not tested on animals!Hooray! 

Why I like Palmer's products is mainly because they are against animal testing and their products are cruelty free. Plus most of their products are free of Parabens, Phthalates and Sulphates. I can rest assured that my skin isn't exposed to toxic ingredients. Also their key ingredients in all their skincare products includes Cocoa Butter, Shea Butter and Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Before using Palmer's Skin Therapy Oil

This is my skin before using the Therapy Oil, you can see that my skin is a little dry and I have smile lines that sometimes makes me look old *feels sad*. And my skintones are uneven, especially the second half of my face. *bugger* Can't see if my skin is dry though in the picture, but I do tend to have dry nose that's so dry that it starts peeling. :(

After using Palmer's Skin Therapy Oil

This is after using the Therapy Oil for massage, and the smile lines are less visible and my skintone looks brighter and not so uneven. My skins feels a little more moisturized and not so clogged up. Some people may have some concerns about the oil as one perceptive of Oil products is that it will clog your skin and it feels sticky after usage. After using, I can firmly say that Therapy Oil does not have that argh feeling even though it may be a little sticky on the side. Therapy Oil is actually a lightweight facial treatment helps repair past damage while restoring and brightening skin tone and texture.

It just roll off the back of my hand like water. 

It's so light that even before I squeeze it out from the applicator, it actually dripped a little, it's not the really Oily kind of texture. In order to achieve the balance to create an agent to help in perfecting our facial skin, Palmer's had combined 10 other natural oils besides their super natural beauty ingredient, Pure Cocoa Butter. The 10 natural oils are: Sweet Almond Oil, Sesame Oil, Coconut Oil, Macadamia Nut Oil, Apricot Oil, Grapeseed Oil, Camelina Oil, Rosehip Oil and Argan Oil, Sunflower Oil. These natural oil ingredients are known of soothing of oneself and when they are used together, they are able to work synergistically to deliver the anti-aging nutrition your face needs for healthier, younger-looking skin.

To combat anti-aging, Retinol, which is a natural derivative of Vitamin A is added in to help the body increase the production of collagen and speed up surface cell turnover. This also improves skin’s tone and texture helping reduce the appearance of lines, wrinkles uneven skin tone and dark spots. Not forgetting Vitamin C, as we all know, it is a natural antioxidant responsible for the growth and repair of tissues and production of collagen. It also helps brighten and even skin tone and texture.

But again, this is not a for-all age skincare product. Yes I have reached to a level where I should be concern about wrinkles and dull skin tone, but I'm not at the age where I have to apply this daily. But for ladies who are 35 and above, this should be added as your nightly routine essential. As some of us may start to have deep smile lines but ladies 35 and above may start to see crow's feet. (opps) Time to try out how effective Palmer's SKin Therapy Oil for face, not forgetting your neck too!

Palmer's Skin Therapy Oil is now available at leading pharmacies and cosmetic stores like Watsons, Guardians, John Little, Unity, BHG. It is retailing at $29.90 for a bottle size of 30ml, which will probably last you at least 2-3 months with nightly usage.

[Sponsored] Jergen's Daily Moisture, Soothing Aloe and Ultra healting Body Lotion

Ever since I came back from Korea, my skin has been considered dry. Skin by means, my body, not face. *hehe* I have a strict routine for my facial skincare that sometimes D thinks that I'm taking up too much time to pamper them. Back to topic, since then, whenever I sleep in an aircon room, my body skin will itch, especially the legs. It is so dry that when I walk out of my house, the legs will start to itch so badly that I looked like a monkey trying to scratch while walking. I've consulted friends regarding about this issue and all of them advised me to get a good body moisturizer.

I've tried a few brands but my legs still itch whenever I head out, like mid-morning. *god knows why* Brands shall not be named, since it doesn't really worked out for me. Then Jergens recently released a new and improved range of body moisturizers.  I remembered using their body lotion more than a decade ago, and I stopped coz it was a little too oily for me back then (and I was lazy too).

Jergen's new range of body lotion: Daily moisture, Soothing Aloe and Ultra Healing

Being No.1 Body lotion Brand in USA, Jergens new range target 3 different market users,   which I decided to try all three at different areas of my body. I do have different body skin issues, so might as well. The three variants for this range are:

Thinner texture as compared to the other two. 

1. Daily Moisture for Dry Skin.

This contains Skill Proteins and Citrus extracts which helps in improving texture for visible smooth skin.

The texture looks a little green and slightly thicker

2. Soothing Aloe for Normal to Dry Skin.

This contains Cucumber extracts and pure Aloe Vera which helps in reviving skin for visibly more refreshed skin. Aloe Vera is known for its freshness in keeping skin moist, I have lots of facial care product that has aloe vera too, plus the smell is so refreshing.

Thickest in texture, but the smoothness is the best after application

3. Ultra Healing for Ultra Dry Skin.

This contains Vitamin C, E and B5, which repairs skin for visibly healthier skin. This is great for super dry skin as skin may lack of much water that results in skin crack. And Vitamin C is a great ingredient in repairing the damage.

Besides repairing and moisturizing your skin, this new range contains the HydralucenceTM blend that provides longer lasting hydration for visibly enhanced skin tone, texture, and luminosity. It gives your skin a beautiful, envious glow.

There's a patch of dullness on my elbow, which is also quite dry

I tried Soothing Aloe on my elbow, as it tends to be a little dry and dull in skin colour. I applied Daily Moisture on my legs they are dry but not visibly cracking and lastly I applied Ultra Healing on my body as my body tends to get super dry after a night sleep in the air con room.  Next morning, I am amazed by how smooth my skin is and less dull it look. It doesn’t look dry and it feels smooth. That is after around 8 hours of application. Then I applied once again in the morning before heading out. My skin does looks glowy under the sun and my legs doesn't feel the itch for once. *falls in love*

Me, taking OOTD after using Jergen's new range of skin care after a few days. 

After 12 hours, back home, my skin still feels smooth and glowy, it feels like my skin has locked the moisture from the lotions just right. And I don’t feel sticky even though I work in an non-airconed office. This prompts me to use it everyday. Another good point about this new range is it doesn’t have this super sticky after-application feeling and my skin absorbs it wells within 5 mins. I do not have to worry about staining my clothes with the lotion or feeling uncomfortable the whole day. Some lotion have this sticky feeling that you just wanna wash it off. :(

And because of the extract contains of each lotion, I have this fresh scent on me right after application. I feel refreshed and happy, because one thing, its not coconut or some weird oil smell that some lotions I used to have had.

Using the New Jergen Body Lotion makes me feel refreshed and happy, I don’t feel like a monkey scratching during the mid-morning when I head out. And I feel more confident when I go out for functions or visiting. It is like having a great hair or facial skin, having a good body skincare, it adds on to a good look no matter how you dress. Because it is just adds up to looking great. :)

D's knees before using Ultra Healing

And even though body lotion are mainly used by women, I’ve tried Ultra Healing on D. His legs are horribly dry and it’s even worse when he likes to peel his knee’s dead skins off. *eww* Made him apply it for nearly a week, day and night. 

After a week of usage. 

Here is the result, his skin looks smoother, healthier and glowy too. And it reduced the dryness, plus the dullness has reduced like 50%.

Ladies! You can share this with your man if he has dry skin issues too!! Sharing is caring and gives you another reason to stock up. The New Jergen range is now available at leading supermarkets, western pharmacies, and personal care stores, priced at S$8.90. Time to stock up all 3 types.

[Sponsored] MU MIEUX COLLAGEN MU Nutrition+ by Mary Chia

I'm a collagen lover since I've passed the age of 25. Why since then? It is because our body starts to slow down in collage and elastin production by then that's why we will start to have wrinkles and saggy skin by age 35-40. NOOOO! I won't want to have saggy face and wrinkles by age 35. In order to prevent that from happening, I started to take in collagen supplements.

A box of MIEUX by MU Nutrition+

 So Mary Chia came out with this new product, MU MIEX Collagen MU Nutrition+, which not only provides collagen but also other supplements that our body needs. Besides containing BHN fish collagen to maintain the collagen level in our body, it also contain apple extract,Co-Q10, Ceramides, Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Malic Acid and Maltitol.

All these ingredients can combat the following:

• Pre-mature ageing due to loss of collagen and key vitamins for skin and organs
• Improve body’s detoxification abilities
• Enhance gastro-intestinal health by introducing beneficent bacteria (Probiotics)
• Improve overall metabolism and blood circulation
• Block/displace excess fat, sugars and carbohydrates consumed through daily diet
• Enhance overall organ functions
• Increase energy levels and vitality
• Improve immunity  

The 8 bottles in the box

This is so easy to replenish collagen and other supplements for my body. All I need is a bottle daily as each bottle contains 3000mg collagen which is the right amount that I need everyday. And I could see the effect of drinking this on the second week of consumption.

I felt great after consuming the whole box and my skin looks brighter. I can't comment much on fairer since my face is fair enough. Each box contains 8 bottles of 50ml MU MIEX Collagen MU Nutrition+. And I love it because it has this fruity flavour and not too sweet for consumption. Some collagen are really too sweet for my liking.

[Sponsored] Bio-essence Hydra Tri-Action Aqua Droplet: Sleeping Beauty Mask

Sometimes even when I do my daily routine, I feel that my skin doesn't get hydrated well enough. So I will always try to hydrate my skin whenever possible at night, since pores tends to open up more at night. Some hydrating products tends to be sticky which makes me feel a little uncomfortable. 

But with Bio-essence's Hydra Tri-Action Aqua Droplet Sleeping Beauty Mask, I don't have to fear sticky hydrating products! Now I can hydrate my skin, nourish and protect at the same time! *hoorays to less products to use* It is important to keep our skin hydrated as our skin gets oil or dry easily, moisturizing it allows the skin to replenish water, balancing the oil level. Besides that, like our body, our skin gets tired and dull easily without water. With daily hydration on our skin, it reduces dull skin tones and brightens up our tired skin.

Also, every girl hates to see large pores on our face. Hydrating our skins will also refine enlarged pores, reducing the chance to get rough skin. ^____^ It is a must to hydrate and moisture our skin, for beauty. 

And Bio-essence's Hydra Tri-Action Aqua Droplet Sleeping Beauty Mask has all the formula to combat the skin problems that we frequently face. It has a unique formulation which is enriched with 2 types of Hyaluronic acid (Power Nano Hyaluronic Acid & Hyaluronic Acid), Cranberry Extract & Bio Energy Fluid, which not only provides long lasting hydration but also protects skin from environmental factors.

I def wanna wake up to better skin condition daily. 

As this is a sleeping mask, it work at its best while I am sleeping. As replenishes moisture level, nourishes and repairs my skin non-stop. I can feel the difference when I wake up everyday, as it feels smoother and firmer. And this can be also used as a moisturiser daily before heading out!! Wonderful dual-usage for one product.

This product uses Bio Aqua Crystals, which means, when I applied the beauty mask, I could see water droplets forming~~ This is like a wonderful concept for hydration.

Can see the wet wet section. Those are actually water droplets! 

I love to use this product ever since I've gotten it as one thing the Bio Aqua Crystals technology amazed me quite a bit. Secondly, it doesn't feel sticky after applying, it is just water droplets on my face. I would just need it to absorb into my skin before applying my sunblock. And also, it has this seaweed fragrance which i like it. ♥ This makes me feel happy to apply Bio-essence's Hydra Tri-Action Aqua Droplet Sleeping Beauty Mask everyday.

And it is easy to you. All I need is to apply on my face and water droplets will appear. After that, I'll just massage till it absorbs fully. And if I wanna use it as a sleeping mask, i'll apply a thicker layer to replenish my skin’s moisture throughout the night. 

Looks a little glue-like texture.

[Sponsored] Bio-essence Tanaka White

I think every girl has the same issue that I am facing now, since the weather isn't playing their part well these days. My skin isn't as fair as it used to due to the fact that I am out under the sun most of the time. Also, living in a tropical country you can hardly avoid the sun. (if you stay at home most of the time) Which is why I apply sunblock everyday to prevent UV, which will cause dark spots and wrinkles. But applying sunblock or sunscreen isn't enough to fight against dark spots, wrinkles and uneven skin tones

So Bio Essence's Tanaka White range helps in preventing and fight against dark spots, wrinkles and uneven skin tones. And their Tanaka White 4X Serum has a new improved version which contains premium alpha-Arbutin that is 9X more powerful than beta-Arbutin, which is typically found in many other whitening products in the market.

Arbutin, extracted from bearberry plants and helps to brighten dull and yellowish skin, is a great natural whitening agent that is known for eliminating pigmentation and improving overall skin complexion. It also helps maintain skin’s fairness by preventing the formation of melanin and protects skin against harmful UV rays.

This ingredient is found in most of the whitening product that helps in maintaining fairness and brightens up skin tone. This is one of the most sort for natural ingredient in most beauty product these days.  And it is also something I would look for as one of the main ingredients when I'm purchasing my skin care products as my wedding is approaching, I would love to look pretty and fair on that day. *haha* So it is time to prep the skin well before the big day.

Besides Arbutin, Bio Essence's Tanaka White comes with another natural ingredient, Tanaka.

With the Tanaka Extract found in this product, combined with Kojic Acid, which comes from the fermentation process of malting rice in the use of manufacturing sake, I can fight against UV rays from the outside, while the arbutin work the fairness of my skin from the inside. As Kojic Acid is a popular agent used to lighten skin and is also used to treat skin diseases such as melasma. It is a great anti-oxidant with antibacterial and antifungal properties which effectively lightens freckles and pigmentations and evens skin tone.

Besides the Tanaka White 4X Serum,Tanaka White Double Whitening Day Cream SPF 20 is also another new improved product which had recently added in SPF 20. Great for ladies who will be out for a short while probably a few hours no more than 4. This is to prevent any harmful UV rays from trying their best to enter our skin. Besides preventing UV rays, Tanaka White Double Whitening  Cream also contains Tanaka Extract which protects our skin from external pollutants, keeps skin cool and moisturized under hot weather. A must indeed for Singapore weather!

Not only protecting, it also contains Tranexamic Acid that helps to significantly brighten and even out skin tone, provides skin with trace mineral elements and precious herbal extracts such as ginseng, angelica and gingko. Lastly, lightens and prevents freckles, dark spots and pigmentation.

Tanaka White 4X Serum

Before applying and after applying Tanaka White 4X Serum

The Tanaka White 4X Serum has a floral scent and it is easy to keep and squeeze out from the bottle. Above picture is before applying the 4X Serum and right after application. You can see that the 4X Serum is being absorb well into my skin and the whitening effect takes place almost immediately. It leaves my face fresh and moist, not leaving any trace of stickiness. And I love the floral scent from the product itself.

Tanaka White Double Whitening Cream SPF 20

Before and After apply Tanaka White Double Whitening Cream SPF 20

After applying the Tanaka White 4X Serum, I went on applying Tanaka White Double Whitening Cream SPF 20. The texture of the Double Whitening Cream is thicker than the Serum and a little sticky. Almost as immediate, after applying, the whitening cream really whiten up my skin and I can see the difference through the mirror. Even though it takes some time for the sticky feeling to go away, I do like the fact that the whitening essence brightens up my skin, giving it more radiance than before.

After a few days, I can see the difference on my skin as it looks brighter and less dull. I feel that my skin has given another chance to be pretty again. The spots on my face has lighten and overall my skin looks fairer again. It's been some time since my skin last look this fair. Thank you Bio-essence for these two improved products, Tanaka White 4X Serum and Tanaka White Double Whitening Cream SPF 20 ♥.  Now I can prep my skin to be a fair lovely bride for my big day in Sept.
