Product Review: Mosbeau Placenta White All-in-One Facial Soap

     Here's the continuation review of Mosbeau Set that I won from a giveaway. To read my previous post, click HERE. Today I'm sharing my thoughts on the All-in-One Peeling soap. With different brands of whitening, lightening and anti-aging soaps that sprouted like mushrooms on the market, many of us got confused what soap to buy. Are you the same like me reading and scrutinizing the label before throwing the product in your grocery basket? I'm a self-confessed cheapskate and the price of a product matters to me most. So when it comes to soap, I always look for the cheaper price and mostly organic ones. 

     The moment I received the package containing this Mosbeau set, I freaked out to my amazement ohhhmygaaawwwwwwd, this soap costs 400 pesos? No way!!! With that amount, I can buy 3 or 4 bars of soap already. Well, this is free :P And I just accepted that I need to use this crossing my fingers that no bad reaction or allergy will occur. This is luxury on my face at its finest!

Recommendation:

     I give this a 3.5/5 rating. I'll still stick with my organic soap and will not splurge with expensive soap that plateaud its effect on me after a month. I will just use my trusted organic soap religiously and see positive results not just in a month but in the long run.

Product Review: Mosbeau All-in-One Face Cream

     Hi lovelies! It's back to school once again. I'm guessing that malls will have their sale before school begins. I miss going to school :( I can still remember my cramming experience when buying school supplies and new set of stuffs. We always bumped into different people having the same dilemma as mine. Shoe sizes that's always out of stock, designs that were almost fading because it's the only one left, and so on and so forth. Those were the crazy back to school days fever. So before we bid goodbye to May, I will make a review of another skin care that I won from a giveaway.

     This product came from Mosbeau and it's one of AskMeWhats grand giveaway last December. Five long months have passed, this is enough for me to gauge how did the product fare with my skin. Prolly you know that I made a post on Mosbeau here after a month of usage. I didn't see any significant changes on my skin particularly on my freckles and uneven tone that's why I continued using this mositurizing gel but there's a doubt on my mind already. Shall we start the review now? This will be my honest to goodness take on Mosbeau All-in-One Facial Cream, the one being endorsed by Angel Locsin. 

     I tend to stay away from heavy creams on my face because it makes my skin oilier. When I discovered GNC Vitamin C Moisturizing Cream I said to myself that I will not dare look for another face cream until Mosbeau came but I have this love-hate relationship when I won the price because I'm afraid that using another product means starting back at one. Being a cheapskate, I will not spend over a thousand bucks just to try out a new product. With fingers crossed I just said to myself Okay, since this is free why not give it a try.

Mosbeau All-in-One Face Cream
Gel type moisturizer that leaves a light and cool feel on my face.

What I like:

• The packaging is very classy and it has a top plastic lid that's been a product saver for me when I accidentally drop the tub.
• I like the scent, light and not overpowering.
• The watery gel-cream formulation leaves a light feeling on my face.
• Smooth to apply that's easily absorbed by the skin.
• Not oily, not sticky and non-greasy. Can be used as a makeup base.
• Free of Parabens and Dimethicone.
• Brightens my face and it helped me lightened my post acne marks.
• For the price, its fairly reasonable for a 70g product that lasts me about 4 months. Do the math :p
• Boasts 70g of product compared to other brands that contain only 50g.
• There's a batch, manufacturing and expiry date printed on the box.

What I don't like:

• Even though I like the packaging, I still find it bulky so I need to transfer it in another container for travelling.
• No major changes on my freckles and skin tone. I'm already fair to start with so I guess ladies with medium tone will see some improvement on their skin specially on whitening department.
• This jar/tub type of packaging is unhygienic since you have to scoop out the product and using your fingers will contaminate it.
• I don't know how much SPF is in it, I wish there's a 15 or 30 SPF even if they included Sericin as UVA/UVB blocker in their ingredients list.

Will I repurchase? Yes! Not for lightening/ whitening part but as a moisturizer and an anti-aging product. Maybe if I have an extra money and is not itching to try other moisturizer in the market.

Recommendation:

     I give this a 4/5 rating. Now I'm almost done with this, I just want to share a few things about the product. Even though they labeled this as an all-in-one face cream, you still have to use a separate sunblock prior to sun exposure. Don't expect this cream to produce miracle overnight. Patience is a virtue and consistency is the key. You have to use this religiously to see your desired results. This cream is sold with the peeling soap so it's best to use them in pair if you want drastic changes to which I will tell on another post. Always do a patch test for allergies. You will see some herbal ingredients on the list and I know some people allergic even to natural and organic products. They too can cause allergic reactions. Being organic doesn't mean it's safe for everybody. I'm not saying that this cream is organic, it just contain some natural ingredients. 

     Whew! Another long post and detailed review. I hope this may somehow fed your curiosity about Mosbeau. I know a lot of girls wanted to try this and include in their skin care regimen but they're afraid of wasting their time, effort and money if bad reactions occur. I will also make a comprehensive review on Mosbeau soap this week so stay tuned ladies!

     Have you tried any Mosbeau products?What's your experience with it?Thanks for sharing!

Good Times!~

Skin Care Update: Mosbeau

    I just want to update you with my skin care regimen after winning a Mosbeau package. I'm near on my first month of using these:

Mosbeau Placenta White All-in-One Facial Cream

Mosbeau Placenta White All-in-One Facial Cream

     I still can't say if there's an improvement when it comes to my uneven skin tone and freckles. I think I really need to consume the soap and empty the tub of the face cream to see real results. This will take more than two months since I only used 1/4 of the facial cream and the soap is nearly half of its original shape. 

    I'm sooo excited because I'm not experiencing any breakouts or whatsoever. My only concern is that my face becomes a bit oilier after 2 to 3 hours. I hope this new skin care regimen will give me good results. Till my next post!

     Good Times!~
