Product Review: Orihiro Placenta Collagen Powder

     I'll be honest that aging is already taking its toll on me. I noticed some fine lines and wrinkles on my forehead and the pores around my nose got bigger. I'm not blaming aging because it's inevitable, it will haunt all of us but after attending events on skin care and aging, I've come to realized that I really need to be serious in this department so that it will come slowly.

     I'm not getting any younger, I'll be 35 next year. I've read somewhere that one must invest in anti-aging skin care products at the age of 30 but now the trend is getting younger. From 25 down to 20! Yes, you read that right. If you're aiming for that 'age gracefully' motto, you need to start incorporating anti-aging skin care products and supplements. I've discovered an anti-aging supplement in the name of Orihiro Placenta Collagen Powder. This is a 2-in-1 anti-aging supplement that's also from Japan. More details on Orihiro Placenta Collagen Powder below :)

     I took this supplement for 1 month and noticed that my skin is improving in terms of texture and appearance. I have fair skin but there are problems like Hori's Nevus, melasma, big pores, and uneven tone. While drinking this supplement, I can say that there are improvements on my pores which became tighter. Base on the photo below, my skin has a rosy tinge too.

Product Review: Orihiro Placenta Collagen Powder
My bare face- Hori's Nevus and melasma on my cheeks, still obvious pores around my nose but smaller in my observation unlike before.

What I like:

• Orihiro Placenta Collagen Powder is the cheapest collagen powder that I've tried!
• It is FDA approved.
• It's in a well-sealed pouch. 
• A 2-in-1 anti-aging product perfect for those who want to lessen the number of supplements they take every day. 
• It also contains other ingredients like Arginine, Glucosamine, and Vitamin C for other health benefits.
• I love the vanilla flavor. This is the most delicious collagen powder supplement that I've tried to date. Less to no fishy smell, unlike other brands.
• I didn't experience any discomforts like vomiting, headache, nausea, breakouts or whatsoever.
• Made my skin glowing even I only have 4 hours of sleep.
• My skin is supple and soft to touch.
• My nails are less brittle and my hair fall lessened too.
• I look less haggard upon waking up. 
• Didn't make my look plump which I really like. No need to worry about double chin which I experienced with other collagen brands.
• My skin looks healthy and shiny- not the 'oil' type of shine, if you may ask.
• Batch, manufacturing and expiry date printed on the package.

What I don't like:

• Not easily accessible. You have to purchase it online.
• There's no scoop included in the pouch.

Will I purchase? Yes! My new favorite because aside from the collagen content it also has placenta and it's very affordable too!

Recommendation:

     I give this a 5/5 rating. The price is cheap and this is one of the best collagen supplement that I've tried so far. I noticed that my skin is moist and the pores around my nose became smaller. I have pre-mature wrinkles in the under eye area that's visible but during the time I'm taking this, I barely notice them.

     I will highly suggest this brand because it has less to no fishy smell and taste which is perfect for those who have a sensitive nose.

Product Review: Meiji Amino Collagen

     Hello dearies, as promised here's the review of Meiji Amino Collagen supplement. It's not the first brand of collagen supplement that I've tried. There are local brands in the market today and most of them are easily accessible. What made me itch to try this product is the country of origin- Japan. We all know that most of the Japanese skin care products are of high quality and effective even if some have a high price tag.

     Like what I always say in my supplement reviews, before using anti-aging skin care product one must consult their dermatologist first if in doubt. Not all anti-aging skin care products are used by individuals who are 30 years old and above. Some use anti-aging skin care products because they're always exposed to the harmful rays of the sun, already see pre-mature wrinkles and other aging skin concerns. The results you will read here are what I experienced during and after taking the product. More information on Meiji Amino Collagen supplement after the jump :)

Product Review: Meiji Amino Collagen 

     Cheskas Store sent me a can of the infamous Meiji Amino Collagen supplement. If you're not familiar with Meiji Collagen, well this brand is famous in Japan. I've read that this product is a favorite amongst women ages 25 and up. So going back, this collagen 

“Feel the beautifying power of fish"

     No. 1 COLLAGEN FOR AN AMAZING 3 CONSECUTIVE YEARS IN JAPAN!!* (More than 5 million cans sold!) A food supplement, Amino Collagen can do more for the health and appearance of your skin than lotions or creams alone. Meiji Amino Collagen is made from high quality, low-molecular collagen peptide. Here are the benefits:

• Daily use will help the skin become softer and smoother, with better tone and tautness. 
• Wrinkles will begin to disappear, and spots will begin to fade. 
• Problem complexions will be a thing of the past. 
• Even your bones and joints can benefit. 
• You will look and feel younger and healthier. 
• Amino Collagen can be added to any beverage, hot or cold, without affecting color or taste.

Product Review: Meiji Amino Collagen 

Three more ingredients that add to the effectiveness of collagen are:

• Arginine: a type of amino acid, essential for maintaining healthy skin
• Vitamin C: an essential vitamin that supports collagen
• Glucosamine: a raw material for hyaluronic acid, which helps maintain the skin’s moisture.

Product Review: Meiji Amino Collagen 
1 scoop is 7 equivalent to 5,000 mg of fish collagen

     The recommended daily intake of collagen should be around 3,000-5,000 mg a day. A scoop of Meiji Amino Collagen contains 5,000 mg already and once mixed with your favorite drinks, it becomes potent now that you'll be drinking it in liquid form. After consuming one can that is good for twenty-eight (28) days, I see promising and positive results not only in my skin but in my hair and nails. I noticed that when I was still taking the supplement, I look less haggard even if I only have 4 hours of sleep and running errands whole day.

I mix a scoop to my Anlene chocolate drink

Product Review: Meiji Amino Collagen 
You can still see eye bags in both photos, but on the second one, I look less haggard. Both photos were taken daytime and I also noticed one more thing, did I get lighter?

What I like:

• Meiji Amino Collagen is very affordable.
• It is FDA approved.
• Comes in a well-sealed can. It is double sealed- one with plastic wrap at the lid and another seal on top before opening the can. It's also available in refill pouch. Don't worry about measuring because it comes with a scoop.
• Meiji Amino Collagen also contains other ingredients like Arginine and Glucosamine for other health benefits.
• There's a mild fishy scent and my sensitive nose can tolerate it. The scent disappears once the powder is dissolved in liquid drink/s.
• I didn't experience any discomforts like vomiting, headache, nausea, breakouts or whatsoever.
• It made my skin glowing even if there were times that I only have 4 hours of sleep.
• Made my skin soft and supple.
• My nails are less brittle and my hair fall lessened too.
• I always wake up with plump and moist skin. I look less haggard too.
• My skin looks healthy and shiny- not the 'oil' type of shine, if you may ask.
• Batch, manufacturing and expiry date printed on the package.

What I don't like:

• Not easily accessible.
• Since it made my skin plump, I look like I gained weight. I can see fats under my jaw.  

Will I purchase? Yes! This is in my oral anti-aging supplement list and will buy a refill every now and then when I ran out of stock. Good thing there is a refill with the same price of the can but has an extra scoop for two days.

Recommendation:

     I give this a 5/5 rating. The price is very affordable and this is the best collagen supplement that I've tried so far. Since I don't have crow's feet around my eye area, I'll be neutral on that. I have pre-mature wrinkles in my undereye that's visible if my concealer creases but during the time I'm taking Meiji Amino Collagen supplement, I rarely see my concealer crease. 

     I'm happy that I only have a few fine lines and wrinkles that are unnoticeable as of the moment. While taking the supplement, I did see a minor change in the size of my pores and my skin felt a bit tight and made my skin plumper so I look like I gained a little weight in photos. Plumper skin emphasized the extra fat in my jaw area. I don't use contouring making so I just let it show.  Again, it is best to see maximum results with continued use :) If you have questions, more answers here: http://www.meiji.co.jp/health/amicolla/en/faq/index.html

Product Review: Fracora Placenta Capsule

     Okay, so I've realized that I'm already in the stage that I need to amp up my anti-aging skin care regimen. I'm thirty three years old to be exact and women at this age should be more concern in minimizing wrinkles, lift sagging skin, prevent hyper pigmentation, and other skin care dilemma in the anti-aging department.

     So today, I'll be sharing a review of another famous anti-aging plus whitening skin care supplement from Japan- Fracora Placenta Capsule. Does the word placenta scares the hell out of you?I presume that you're thinking of other kind of placenta but fret not as the main ingredient of this supplement was derived from porcine (pig) placenta. To know more about Fracora Placenta and why this anti-aging supplement is famous in Japan scroll down now!

Product Review: Fracora Placenta Capsule

   
     Before trying this anti-aging product, I made a research. At first I'm not convinced and been contemplating if I really need to try this because it's not the usual whitening supplement that I've taken before. Took Fracora Placenta Capsule for a month and I'm quiet satisfied with the results. If there's a couple of supplements that I need to maintain for the rest of my life to age gracefully, methinks placenta and collagen supplement will be a mainstay in my anti-aging stash. Oh, I'll also be reviewing Meiji Amino Collagen this month too :)

Product Review: Fracora Placenta Capsule

   
     I will not keep you waiting, here are the important information that I've taken from cheskasstore.net. Fracora Placenta Capsule is a supplement that gives you access to a famous beauty ingredients and can be easily taken in large amounts. 

Benefits:

• Improves skin tightening and firming.
• Skin whitening and brightening.
• Reduces pores and skin roughness.
• Improves skin dryness.
• Hydrates and moisturizes the skin.
• Promotes skin translucent.
• Maintains toned complexion of skin.
• Protects against UV rays.

Product Review: Fracora Placenta Capsule
Three capsules before bedtime

     
     Since this is my first time to take placenta, I will not make a comparison with other brands thus will share my experience after finishing one pack. I took three soft gel capsules before bedtime with warm water. 

What I like:

• The packaging- it's in a handy and travel-friendly resealable pouch.
• It's in a soft gel capsule for faster absorption.
• It's easy to swallow since the size of each soft gel capsule is small compared to other supplements in the same form as fish oil, grapeseed extract, and other medicines.
• No weird or funky smell.
• It makes my skin glowing. A glow like that of a mirror reflecting light. 
• My skin feels soft and smooth to touch.
• I noticed that it somehow reduced the size of my pores in my nose and cheek area.
• It maintained my skin tone. I was in Batangas last holy week and we visited different churches for the Visita Iglesia. I basked in the sun for more than five hours. Of course, I have an umbrella with me and I applied sunblock too. It's very hot that day and without maximum protection, the heat and the air can also contribute to skin darkening. Since I'm taking Fracora, I guess it's an added protection against intense sunlight.
• It made me sleep better at night.
• No allergies, breakouts, or whatsoever.
• Batch, manufacturing, and expiry date printed at the bottom of the packaging.

What I don't like:

• The price- steep for budget conscious individuals.
• I did not notice any whitening effect as what the product claims on its benefit.
• Can only be purchased online.
• Neutral on the wrinkles part as I don't have visible wrinkles yet. 

Will I repurchase: Yes, it's possible!

Recommendation:

     I give this a 4.5/5 rating. I think I need more than a month to see the effects on wrinkles and sagging skin. If you're in your middle and late twenties, I suggest you incorporate anti-aging skin care products into your daily regimen. If you wanna age gracefully, investing in topical anti-aging products is a must. If you have the extra budget and you think that it's time to take anti-aging a step further, then taking anti-aging supplements will do.

     I can say placenta supplement is best combined with collagen so, in my next review, I will share with you another collagen supplement that I'm currently road testing and will finish a can soon. But for now, I will still recommend this supplement if you want to start adding an anti-aging supplement in your usual whitening one.

Product Review: Biore UV Bright Perfect Face Milk

     Hi dearies! Sharing with you my thoughts on Biore UV Bright Perfect Face Milk SPF 50+ PA++++ that I've been using for more than a month now. Yes, it's been a month and I'm loving the effect of this Japanese sunscreen on my face and in my photos. I veered away from sunscreen before because I find this skin care product icky sticky. I resort to bb creams and face powders that contains high spf. I've learned that spf from bb creams and face powder is not enough to shield my face from the damaging rays of the sun.

     I've tried a few brands of sunblocks and sunscreen before but after finishing a bottle, I feel like something is still missing. Not the high spf number but the lightweight feel and other added ingredients to boost skin health while giving maximum sun protection. I've known Biore way, way back but haven't tried their sunscreens. Biorè UV is the no.1 sunscreen brand from Japan*, (* Source : Intage SRI research, suntan UV in unit sales, period: 12/2011-11/ 2014) so when I received an email that Biore wanted to send their best-selling sunscreen for me to try, I immediately said yes. I'm happy that Biore UV is already available here in the Philippines. See my thoughts on Biore UV Bright Perfect Face Milk below and why I highly recommend this brand :)

Product Review: Biore UV Bright Perfect Face Milk 

Reasons why you should have Biorè UV products in your skin care and makeup stash:

• Biorè UV feels light, comfortable, and smooth. 
• There is absolutely no waiting time because it is easily absorbed by your skin after application. 
• With SPF50+ and PA++++, Biorè UV instantly provides you maximum protection from UVA and UVB rays which cause skin darkening and skin aging. 
• Biorè UV is sweat-proof and works as a make-up base as well!

Product Review: Biore UV Bright Perfect Face Milk 

     

This variant that I'll be reviewing is from the Biorè UV Perfect series. The products in this series are:

• Ultra-light and non-sticky with a matte or powder finish. 
• Skin feels comfortable and smooth while enjoying maximum UV protection. 
• They are all sweat and water proof and works as perfect make-up base. 
• ontrol oil and shine on your face for long hours! 
• Perfect Face Milk contains sebum-absorbing powder that controls oil and shine.

Product Review: Biore UV Bright Perfect Face Milk 

What I like:

• The scent- it is unscented.
• The packaging is cute, handy, and travel-friendly.
• The tube has a nozzle tip that dispenses the right amount of product.
• A little amount goes a long way.
• It has SPF 50 + PA+++ which is one of the highest numbers in terms of SPF next to 100. It filters about 98% of UVB (according to popsugar.com)
• This sunscreen is really water-proof.
• Biore UV Bright Perfect Face Milk is non-sticky.
• Applies velvety smooth and absorbs quickly on my face. 
• It is great as a makeup base too.
• No allergic reactions, irritations, breakouts, or whatsoever.
• It doesn't make my skin look and feels oily.
• There's no ugly white cast on photos.
• There are batch, manufacturing, and expiry date.
• It's now easily accessible. No need to go to Japan or to ask a relative or a friend buy this product for you.
• There's an English translation of product information.

What I don't like:

• The price can be a bit high for students and budget-conscious individuals but if you'll do the math, it can be cost-effective especially if you use it every day.

Will I repurchase? Yes but not for now because I also have the Biore UV Aqua Rich variant that I'll also be road testing soon.

Recommendation:

     I give this a 4.75/5 rating. Now I know why my friends from Japan highly recommend this brand of sunscreen. Biore UV Bright Perfect Face Milk is lightweight and feels velvety smooth on the face right after application. Always remember this: Do not stay too long in the sun, even while using a sunscreen product. Over-exposure to the sun is a serious health threat. The use of sunscreen is one way to reduce the danger of sun exposure.

What's your favorite sunblock? Thanks for sharing! Have a great day ahead :)

Product Review: Japan Yamashiro Organic Deep Intensive Whitening Soap

     Hi dearies! Here's my honest to goodness review of the soap that I've been using for three weeks now. Even though the soap is dubbed as "See results in 3 minutes" I still make sure that I use it for more than two weeks since there are other effects that I want to see while road-testing the product. I believe that one week is not enough to test a soap, especially whitening ones. I'm already fair to begin with so chances are there will not be a drastic change in the whitening and lightening department.

     But a small but promising effect will always matter to me. I'm patient like that with whitening skin care products. I don't judge the product after a week's usage. We have different skin tones, skin care needs and problems so this soap may be effective for me but not to you or vice versa. I've been using the soap for three weeks now, I'm always out in the sun running for errands. Even though I'm armed with umbrella and sunblock, my skin still get burned under the sun. Not only the sweltering heat but the humidity can also cause skin darkening. So this soap is a big help :) See below why!

Product Review:  Japan Yamashiro Organic Deep Intensive Whitening Soap

     

     Japan Yamashiro Organic Deep Intensive Whitening Soap is made of the finest and purest of Vitamin C- derives from organic plants and fruits extracts. Made of Hyaluronic and Nano Formula which penetrates down to the 7th layer of skin. Takes only 3mins!

• pimples

Use a wet towel to exfoliate your skin. It is highly recommended to use a good whitening lotion or moisturizer to fasten the whitening.

ingredients: Vitamin C Extracts from Lemon, Kiwi, Bearberry, Berries, Arbutin Essences, Nano and Hyaluronic Formula

Product Review:  Japan Yamashiro Organic Deep Intensive Whitening Soap

What I like:

• It's organic!
• The price is affordable since it will really last more than a month. If you'll do the math it's around 8 PHP/day. 
• The scent is not overpowering. It has a subtle sweet scent.
• The soap is mild. No stinging sensation during the required time that the soap's lather should be left on the skin.
• It produces a good lather.
• My skin feels squeaky clean after each bath.
• EXFOLIATES VERY WELL!
• No irritation, breakouts, allergies, or whatsoever.
• The soap doesn't melt fast despite the hot weather.
• My skin is soft and smooth to touch after use.
• It made my skin even toned even if I'm always out in the sun running errands. It's a no joke that I always feel like I'm getting fried whenever I walk in the streets around 12 in the afternoon. 
• It lightens my wound scar a bit after three weeks of use. 

What I don't like:

• Not easily accessible.
• Doesn't have batch, manufacturing and expiry date.
• No English translation of the product information.

Will I repurchase? Yes!

Recommendation:
     I give this soap a 4.5/5 rating. I like the soap's exfoliating powers! I can see dead skin cells big time every bath. As for the texture, the soap is economical to use as it doesn't melt fast or should I say no melting at all in the soap dish despite the hot weather unlike other organic whitening soaps in the market today. 

     Always use the soap as instructed. Since I've only consumed a bar of Japan Yamashiro Organic Deep Whitening Soap, the whitening effect on my fair skin tone is not drastic but with continued use I'm sure that my blemishes will fade one step at a time. I've seen a lightening on my small knee scar and that's a wonderful result in as fast as three weeks. The soap leaves a powdery feel after use too so my skin is really soft and smooth to to touch. I highly recommend this soap. Yes, it worked for me :)
