Product Review: Fracora Placenta Capsule

Monday, April 04, 2016

     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
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: NuWhite Glutathione

Monday, March 14, 2016

     So after taking Ishigaki Advanced Glutathione for a month, I decided to take another brand of glutathione for review- and err detoxification's sake. Whitening is an added bonus for me since I'm already fair, to begin with, but I always deal with uneven skin tone and I'm prone to insect bites, scratches, and paper cuts (because I have thin skin). These mild skin abrasions leave a mark on my skin and there are times that I based my glutathione experience if the wounds heal fast and lighten after a month.

     Another brand of glutathione was sent to me last February by Cheskas Store OnlineNu White Glutathione or Nu White Advanced Whitening L- Glutathione, Collagen, and Placenta. It's a kind of glutathione with added anti-aging ingredients. I started taking this second week of February and after a month, I can say I'm quite satisfied but I also have a sort of love-hate relationship with the results of this product. See my full review of Nu White Advanced Whitening L- Glutathione, Collagen, and Placenta below :)

Product Review: Nu White Glutathione 

What I like:
  • The packaging- it is color pink! It is tightly sealed and contains a leaflet that has information about the product.
  • The scent- unscented.
  • It's in a soft gel capsule that made it faster in absorption.
  • NuWhite Glutathione contains L- Glutathione, Collagen, Placenta Extract, CoQ10, Pomegranate Ellagic Acid known as anti-aging supplements. So once you pop a pill, you're not only whitening your skin but also adding a boost in the anti-aging department. 
  • No discomforts like vomiting, headache, nausea, breakouts, or whatsoever while taking this supplement
  • Made my skin glowing.
  • This supplement gave me a good night's sleep. 
  • I'm already fair, to begin with, but it made my skin pinkish/rosy white in tone.
  • t lessened cystic pimples popping around my chin which I experience every month.
  • It also maintained my skin color despite the hot humid weather. I'm always outside doing errands in the afternoon. 
  • I also noticed that my wounds heal faster. I have thin skin and I easily get a scratch from sharp objects,
  • Batch, manufacturing and expiry date printed on the package.

What I don't like:
  • Because of the size of the soft gel, some may find it hard to swallow.
  • The price can be steep for budget-conscious individuals.
  • Not easily accessible, you have to purchase it online.
  • No assurance if this product is BFAD approved.

Will I repurchase? It's in the realm of possibility.

Recommendation:
     I give this a 4.25/5 rating. This glutathione gave me a pinkish white effect which I'm not a fan because the pink tinge on my skin makes me think I got darker. Don't worry because you don't get dark or darker, okay? If you have a morena skin tone, it is best to use this brand for more than 3 months. The effectiveness of one product really varies from person to person. Since this supplement is a combination of different skin beautifying products, it will save you money and the effort of drinking different kinds of the supplement every day.

     But this pill contains only a few amounts of collagen, placenta, and ascorbic acid so don't expect drastic effects in the anti-aging department. It's good to know that it doesn't have ALA (Alpha Lipoic Acid) because some are allergic to it. If you have money to spend, I recommend this brand to you because even if it does not contain the maximum dose of ingredients for the placenta, collagen, ascorbic acid, still there's an amount that will boost skin whitening and anti-aging.

Product Review: Mischka Derma Secret Kojic with Placenta Soap

Tuesday, August 26, 2014

     Being a soap junkie, I'm always on the lookout for new variants of soap available in the market today be it commercially produced or handmade ones. As of the moment, I still have four different kinds of soap for review. I'm very excited to use them all because it contains mostly natural ingredients that promises to make the skin smooth, young and glowing. 

     If you're a fan of whitening soaps, I'm sure you already know kojic acid. It is one of the most famous/effective whitening ingredient in the market today together with glutathione, alpha arbutin and placenta. I've made several reviews of whitening soaps with kojic acid before and I find this variant effective depending on the length of usage. Kojic acid soap can be drying that's why some brands combine it with other moisturizing ingredients that will combat dryness. One combination that I can say will give less dryness to the skin is kojic placenta. Placenta is known to be an anti-aging ingredient and makes the skin smooth and glowing. Our friends from Mishcka Derma Secret sent me their Kojic with Placenta soap two months ago. I just finished using this bar last week and now I'm ready to share my thoughts about this combination.
