Product Review: Star White Glutasure

     Hi dearies! Thank you so much for reading my glutathione reviews. I know it's hard to choose a brand because there are so many to choose from. There are three things to consider in choosing the best brand for you- ingredients, price, and effect. That's why I always stress that what works for me may not work for you or vice versa.

     Taking glutathione alone will not work if you have dark or morena/o skin tone to begin with. Another factor that you should always take into consideration is lifestyle change. Once you take glutathione, you have to cut all your vices, use sunblock everyday, avoid sun exposure, and other things that will result in skin darkening. I'm sharing a quick review of the latest brand that Cheskas Online Store sent last month- Star White Glutasure.  See my thoughts below :)

Product Review: Mosbeau Placenta White Advanced

     If you're a long time user of whitening and anti-aging supplements, prolly you know that Japanese brands are effective no matter how much the price tag. They are also producing food supplements that have many ingredients per serving but contains a little of everything. Even though a capsule or tablet contains 1/4 or 1/2 of the competing brand, the effect is the same or at par with the competition.

     I'm not a medical expert but I think Japanese's strict standard in their FDA department gives consumers safe and cost-effective products. One brand that's been trusted by Japanese for years now is Mosbeau and today I'll be sharing my thoughts on Mosbeau Placenta White Advanced after taking it for a month. Review details below :)

Product Review: Vitapack Megawhite

     Hello dearies! Summer is already here, I'm sure that some of you are planning your vacation and beach trips. But for those who are afraid to bask in the sun, staying at home and doing indoor activities is also fun. If you'll ask me, I would rather stay at home or go on a vacation abroad where the weather is cold. 

     Did you know that fair-skinned individuals easily get burned under the sun? I have fair skin and my problem is sunburn, uneven skin tone, and dark spots from insect bites that's why aside from topical skin care products like whitening soap, lotion, and sunblock, I also take skin care supplements when the need arises. Today, let me share with you my honest to goodness review of Vitapack Megawhite glutathione supplement that I took for 30 days- to help me address uneven skin tone and lighten insect bites. Read more below :)

Product Review: Fine Pearl Coix Extract

     Most of the Japanese women are known to have fair, smooth, and flawless skin. Aside from their diet, they are also fond of taking skin care supplements. I'm not new to Japanese supplements and have tried and reviewed a few of them. Known brands like FINE JAPAN offers whitening and anti-aging supplements but not from the infamous glutathione of l-cysteine.

     Let me introduce to you FINE JAPAN Organic Pearl Coix Extract Powder, a whitening supplement in powder form sourced from Pearl Coix. It is a plant known for its wide medicinal uses. Cheskas Online Store sent me two boxes, each box containing 15 sachets that's good for 15 days. I'm sure you're all intrigued because this is not the usual whitening supplement available in the market. My review of Fine Pearl Coix Extract Powder after the jump!

Product Review: Ishigaki Premium White Soap

     For me, the most basic whitening skin care product is whitening soap. I've tried so many whitening soaps in the past and around 70% of them are effective in making my skin soft, smooth, and glowing. The whitening or lightening effect comes last since I'm already fair to begin with.

     Today, let me share with you another soap that will help achieve those whitening goals- Ishigaki Premium White Soap. This whitening soap is from the makers of the infamous Ishigaki Premium Glutathione, Ishigaki Advanced White Glutathione, and Ishigaki Coffee. I presume that if you're a long time user of Ishigaki, you have tried this already or you're using it right now to complement your whitening skin care products. Cheskas Online Store sent me two bars of Ishigaki Premium White Soap and after finishing my bar I'm now ready to share my thoughts. More details of this promising soap below :)

Watsons Big White Blowout

     After a successful campaign last year, Watsons is bringing back the great white sale- now dubbed as Watsons Big White Blowout in all their branches offering great discounts, deals, and promos on whitening products for face and body.

Product Review: Ishigaki Glutathione Coffee

     Yes, you've read that right :) The favorite glutathione brand now comes in delicious coffee. I received two boxes of Ishigaki Glutathione Coffee last December and as a self-confessed coffee lover, I immediately opened the box when it reached our doorsteps.

     Coffee lovers can now enjoy the benefits of skin whitening, anti-aging, and detoxification by drinking this product. I was skeptical for a few seconds before I empty my first sachet in a cup of hot water because I have no idea if this really tastes like coffee despite the added ingredients. To my surprise, I totally enjoyed my first cup of Ishigaki Glutathione Coffee. More details about the product and my thoughts after consuming 2 boxes (20 sachets) below :)

Guinot Hydradermie Facial Treatment at David's Salon

     Did you know that aside from getting hair care services from David's Salon you can now have skin care treatment in select branch? Yes, I was surprised when David's Salon invited me to try the latest addition to their services- Guinot Hydradermie Treatment. This treatment originally came from Paris, France and David's Salon brought it here so that we can also try the "double ionisation" facial treatment that female clients throughout France rave about.

     Guinot is the No. 1 professional skin care brand in France and because of this, they're a worldwide expert in beauty care. French women give meticulous care in their skin. For them, skin care routine is a life, it is a necessity. You have to do it everyday and with that in mind, Guinot make sure that their products works because once you've find the right skin care products for your skin type, be sure to stick to it. I hope you get my point here, I'm not going to discuss Guinot skin care products here but more of the facial care treatment that is suitable for all skin types. More details on Guinot Hydradermie 'double ionisation' Treatment below :)

Feature: Opulence Skin

     Hello dearies! There's a new player in the whitening department in town. I'm so excited to share with you their skin care product line that promises to let you achieve that luxury skin within reach. Let me introduce Opulence Skin. This brand is fairly new in the market but the distributor is already providing health and wellness products since 2009.

     GNS Beauty Products, Inc. started as sole proprietorship in 2009 as a distributor of health and wellness products, was then incorporated by early 2016 to address growing demand for local distribution and imports. They are the distributor of Opulence Whitening Products which includes L-glutathione capsules, soaps, creams and lotion. So without further ado, meet the Opulence Skin product line below :)

Product Review: Fracora WHITE'st Placenta Serum

     Hello dearies! Sharing with you another review of my recent skin care product. I received a bottle of Fracora WHITE'st Placenta Serum months ago from Cheska's Store Online but did not use it right away because I'm still road testing a moisturizer from a start-up brand. I was intrigued with this serum when I read the description because it says made from 100% concentrated undiluted placenta extract. So basically it's really pure and water like when I peek inside the small bottle.

     I almost cringe in my seat to find out that a 30 ml bottle costs Php 2,200. Is this the miracle skin care product that we are looking for? Knowing Japanese standards, they will produce products that are effective even if some are not budget-friendly. To feed my curiosity and to know if this product is worth the price tag, I road-tested it for more than a month by applying the serum religiously day and night. The verdict? See my honest to goodness thoughts below :)

Product Review: Fracora WHITE'st Placenta Serum

Fracora Whitest Placenta Extract Serum (description taken from Cheskas Store Online)

• Contains 100% concentrated undiluted pure placenta essence. 
• Placenta Serum is a type of skin treatment product normally made from sheep placenta which is normally applied topically as a skin restorative. 
• Placenta are specialized body organs in charge of passing nutrients to establishing embryos in the womb, while filtering waste products. 
• Serum made from placenta could commonly include other advantageous active ingredients, such as collagen, 
• Vitamin supplement E, or green herbal tea extract. 
• Placenta serum is usually used topically as a skin restorative. 
• Producers normally declare that placenta serum could help slow and lessen the aging process, that it can enhance immunity, which it could assist basic health and very high power levels.

Product Review: Fracora WHITE'st Placenta Serum
Use the dropper to get the product. Be careful not to spill a drop or two. There's a line in the dropper as you can see in the photo above. I always pump until it reaches that line and apply what I got on my entire face.

Product Review: Fracora WHITE'st Placenta Serum
I don't have perfect skin. I have large pores cheek and nose area plus my Hori's Nevus 

What I like:

• It's package in a small bottle which is very handy and travel-friendly. 
• Fracora White'st Placenta Serum is made from 100% undiluted placenta so it's pure. 
• The texture- very light because it's like that of water. 
• This water-type serum is easily absorbed once applied. 
• Non-greasy. Not sticky. 
• The glow is really obvious in the morning after waking up. 
• Made my skin soft and smooth to touch. 
• It made my face brighter or should I say lighter and less oily. 
• Batch and manufacturing date printed at the bottom of the packaging. 
• Free from paraben, fragrance, and mineral oil.

What I don't like:

• The scent- there's a weird scent. A bit fishy for my sensitive nose but I can tolerate it as long as I will not inhale during application. 
• Since the texture is watery, it runs out fast. I always try not to spill a drop or two of this precious serum. 
• Expensive especially for budget conscious individuals or those who have tight budget. 
• Available online.

Will I repurchase?: Maybe.

Recommendation:

      I give this product a 4/5 rating. This serum is one of the best skin care products that I have tried to date but it's soo pricey. No breakouts, irritations, or whatsoever because the texture is watery. Still contemplating if I will buy another bottle since I find it so quick to run out. You can see in the photo above that I still have large pores and my Hori's Nevus is till there but lighter based on my observation.

     I will recommend this product if you have the budget to splurge and you have sensitive skin. Since the product is made only of three ingredients, I guess the percentage of breakouts and other skin reactions will be low.

What's the most expensive moisturizer, cream, or serum you have tried to date? Share below :)

Kojiesan UnbeaTEN 10th Anniversary Event

     Beauty Elements Ventures Inc. brings beauty to light to millions of Filipinas for 10 years and Kojiesan is the star burning brighter than ever. Beauty Elements Venture’s Inc. (BEVI), the manufacturer of the country’s favorite skin-lightening product, Kojiesan, celebrated its 10 fruitful years of bringing a lighter, flawless and more beautiful complexion to Filipinos in a grand event early this month.

     I was one of the invited media guests in celebrating this milestone. The event was held at Sofitel Philippine Plaza last August 8, 2016- a thanksgiving and inspirational event that aims to look back at BEVI's humble beginnings and share their success story with their trade partners and consumers as well. Highlights of the event below.

Kojiesan UnbeaTEN 10th Anniversary Event

     

     BEVI’s success story is a testament to the undaunted determination of its owner. From a few dozen orders to millions of bars sold, the soap steadily became a favorite among Filipinos. The innovative product reached consumers across the country, and soon after, distribution went worldwide as an export commodity. 

Kojiesan UnbeaTEN 10th Anniversary Event
Kojiesan Sales Director Mr. Jun Matos

Kojiesan's success story:

     BEVI started in a humble office in a residential area of Makati. Now, the company operates from an entire building. It also owns 6 hectares of manufacturing facilities in San Pablo, Laguna, providing employment to more than 500 employees.

Kojiesan UnbeaTEN 10th Anniversary Event
Full house at Sofitel Philippine Plaza

      

     BEVI launched the original kojic acid soap formulated the traditional Japanese way and made it even better by adding high-grade virgin coconut oil into the mix. I presume that you already know Kojiesan and the star product Kojiesan Kojic Acid Soap. Let me share with you important facts about the soap and how it works.

What is Kojiesan?

• Kojiesan is an exceptional treatment to even out skin tone, erase dark spots, and other forms of skin pigmentations. 
• It also corrects skin discoloration while lightening the skin. 
• Results vary individually. How your skin reacts to any skin lightener will depend on your unique skin sensitivity, the extent of the pigmentation, and/or daily sun exposure. 
• Initially, an improvement should be seen in the first or second week, then the ultimate result within the next 30 days or a few weeks thereafter. 

Kojiesan product lines:

1. The Kojiesan Classic Line includes the Skin Lightening Soap, Cleanser+Toner, Face Lightening Cream, and Body Lightening Lotion.

4. Bellic Peel and Glow Brightening Line includes brightening body wash, brightening body lotion, brightening facial toner, brightening day and night cream, and brightening soap

Bellic Peel and Glow Brightening Products

The Kojiesan promise:

     With more tricks than truth behind what brands say, Kojiesan enjoins us to be careful with what we buy. Some labels brandish catchy, creative terms ---triple effect this, intensive that, pinkish white whatever, and touting invented numbers --- 4 tones fairer, 7 days faster--- with zero consideration for your natural skin’s reaction to adverse products. 

      And for all the claims and white lies told, the question remains: have they shown us results? It’s time we see the light. No lab-made chemical complexes, no marketing-invented promises. Just you and your natural beauty, shining at its lightest.

     The proof is in the pigment, and seeing is believing. So don’t let those brands tell you what works for you. Join the millions who’ve witnessed visible results, because it’s time to bring your skin to light with the country’s No. 1 kojic soap: KOJIESAN!

Kojiesan UnbeaTEN 10th Anniversary EventBEVI marketing head, Tricia Gregorio

“We will continue to innovate products and expand our distribution to bring the highest level of consumer experience to a greater number of people. We want to be known as the company who delivers quality and effective products,” says BEVI marketing head, Tricia Gregorio.

Kojiesan UnbeaTEN 10th Anniversary Event
Thank you so much for having me :)

     

     Kojiesan's commitment to quality is reflected in the recognition it garnered for five consecutive years as “Bath Soap Brand of the Year” at the Watson's Health and Beauty Awards and Consumer “SM Top Choice” Awards.

Congratulations, BEVI and Kojiesan!!!

Good Times!~

Product Review: Otsuka Placenta C Jelly

     Hello dearies! After sharing with you my review of Otsuka Collagen C Jelly anti-aging supplement. Here's another jelly type supplement that's worth the hype. This product is also a hot item in Japan and belongs to the Otsuka Beauty jelly supplements. Based on the reviews I've read online, this jelly is not only for anti-aging but it can also whiten the skin. So placenta extract, you may ask...

     Some find it weird, taking placenta supplement because uhm well it's placenta! It can come from pig, sheep, or human placenta which are also in capsule and powder form. Otsuka Placenta C Jelly is jelly in form. A placenta supplement for dessert. I'm sure you're intrigued. If you think it's gross because it is placenta, well Otsuka made taking placenta supplement enjoyable and yummy. More details on Otsuka Placenta C Jelly below :)

Product Review: Otsuka Placenta C Jelly Review

Otsuka Placenta C Jelly claims:

• The hottest beauty & diet innovation from Japan! 
• Each pack of exotically Mango flavored Skin C placenta jelly contains 15000 mg of premium placenta extract, which has been processed using a special manufacturing process to eliminate any peculiar odors. I
• ndividually packed portions of jelly are convenient and easy to eat, especially if you don't like taking tablet or powder form of diet supplement. 
• Unique enzyme decomposition processing allows the collagen, placenta peptides and hyaluronic acids to be easily absorbed. 
• placenta beauty diet supplement is both safe and diet-friendly.

Product Review: Otsuka Placenta C Jelly Review

Otsuka Placenta C Jelly benefits:

• Low molecular weight collagen peptide: provides essential amino acids to replenish and restructure the skin from within
• Elastin
• Low molecular weight hyaluronic acid: a glycoprotein essential for the structural integrity of dermal matrix and a stimulant of collagen synthesis
• Placenta extract
• Swallow's nest extract
• Ceramide
• Vitamin C: a vital factor for collagen synthesis
• Otsuka Placenta C Jelly is sugar-free, caffeine-free and preservative-free

Product Review: Otsuka Placenta C Jelly Review

   
     To tell you honestly, I enjoyed eating this placenta jelly sticks. It's so yummy and it doesn't taste weird or smells funky unlike the collagen jelly stick. I also like the consistency of this more because it has a true jelly-like texture. I forgot that I'm taking placenta and just eating jelly for dessert. Yum!

Product Review: Otsuka Placenta C Jelly Review

     

     I'm expecting this product to be effective since it has around 4,000+ mg of collagen per serving. The average dosage of placenta extract is around 4,000-5,000 mg a day for it to be effective so this one did not fail on that part. It also contains a small amount of collagen so yay for the anti-aging department as it gives a little boost on that. Should I say placenta and collagen combined gives great results? Look at my photo below, no makeup only eyeliner on my eyelids. You can still see my Hori's nevus that I thought to be freckles, there's a pimple on my forehead, large pores on my nose but my face looks glowing and blooming even if I only have 4 hours of sleep. 

Product Review: Otsuka Placenta C Jelly Review

What I like:

• Otsuka Placenta Jelly C is Japan FDA approved.
• The packaging- it's very handy and travel-friendly.
• It's wrapped individually, convenient to bring anytime, anywhere.
• This jelly stick form of placenta can be eaten any time of the day. It's perfect for snacks or dessert because it has a fruity flavor. I like the flavor of this, it's mango but there's a peach aftertaste. 
• Best paired with glutathione to boost and speed up the whitening process. But this one can also whiten the skin alone and give it a pinkish tone.
• I didn't experience any discomforts like vomiting, headache, nausea, breakouts or whatsoever.
• Otsuka Placenta C Jelly made my skin glowing even if there were times that I only have 4 hours of sleep.
• Gave me a smooth and supple skin during the time I'm taking this jelly. 
• 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:

• The price- a bit steep for budget-conscious individuals.
• Not easily accessible.

Will I purchase? Yes, I'll maintain this supplement as I love the taste and the results on my skin. It's also an anti-aging and whitening product in one, so it's worth every peso.

Recommendation:

     I give this a 5/5 rating. The pictures don't lie. During the time I'm taking Otsuka Placenta C Jelly, I can go out with minimal or no makeup for reals! I highly recommend this product if you want to try anti-aging and whitening supplement in one. Since this already in jelly stick form, taking placenta is now enjoyable.

     As for other results in the anti-aging department like fewer wrinkles or fine lines, I think it will follow if Otsuka Placenta C Jelly is taken for months. I have a great experience while taking this product and if asked, I will maintain this in my anti-aging supplements.

Have you heard or tried Otsuka Placenta C Jelly before?

Kojiesan Brings Skin to New Light Launch

     Many Filipinas are dreaming of fair, radiant, and flawless skin. It's a no-brainer nowadays that whitening products always go out of stock on grocery shelves. While I was grocery shopping last week, a group of Filipinas in their 20's were having a small debate on which whitening soap to buy. They're standing in the aisle where different whitening soaps are displayed.

     I've heard that girl a will choose glutathione over kojic acid because the latter dries her skin after use while girl b chose kojic acid because in just two weeks of use, her skin is lighter and more radiant. Girl b was holding Kojiesan Skin Lightening Soap. I'm not surprised why she picked Kojiesan, I've tried the Kojiesan Lightening Range and I'm not surprised why girl b would recommend Kojiesan to her friends! I'll be revealing her reasons below :)

Product Review: Snow Aura Whitening Booster Mask

     Facial masks are life-savers. If your skin needs that extra TLC (tender-loving-care) because of stress and other skin problems, then you should start investing in facial masks that target different facial problems. There are different kinds and forms of facial mask on the market today, I've tried a lot and made a review already. 

     In my observation, most facial masks available in the market today are in paper sheet and gel-type form because these are easy to apply and convenient to use. Those also required less waiting time and perfect for busy ladies who want to see immediate results. What if you need a facial mask that's not only perfect for that much needed 'me time'? There's a solution for that! A luxurious mask that is not only made for relaxing and repairing troubled skin- a mask that is good as gold! Intrigued? Let me introduce to you Snow Aura Whitening Booster Mask. It's an overnight mask that is made with 24K gold and dubbed as the best-selling sleeping mask in Thailand. Deets after the jump :)

Product Review: Snow Aura Whitening Booster Mask

Snow Skincare Aura Whitening Booster Mask

• This is an overnight facial mask. 
• The combination of advanced whitening technology, Hento White and Liposome encap nano vitamin A-C-E, and the most valuable extracts of Alp Rose stem cells, 24K Pure Gold and 9 kinds of concentrated natural extracts results in a revolutionary product for effective and long-lasting skin lightening which will improve the health of your skin and reduce blemishes and freckles. 
• This combination ingredient helps to visibly reduce wrinkles and other signs of aging making your skin appear years younger. 
• You can feel these results even after only one application. 
• This is a Thai product that claims to make the skin firmer, whiter, and brighter. 
• Snow Aura Whitening Booster Mask is the best sleeping mask in Thailand.

Product Review: Snow Aura Whitening Booster Mask

   
     This product was sent to me by Cheska's Online Store months ago. It's a long overdue review because I've been using other whitening products back then. To see how effective a product, I see to that I stop applying whitening creams I'm currently using to give way to the new ones. Snow Aura Whitening Booster Mask is intended for overnight use. Meaning, no rinsing or wiping of the product after application. You literally have to sleep with the mask on your face. You can use the facial mask for two to three times a week.

Product Review: Snow Aura Whitening Booster Mask

size: 30 ml/ 1.01 fl.oz.

price: 1,500 php (Around $32.26+)

place bought: Free 

Available at http://www.cheskasstore.net/

instructions for use: Use the facial mask 2–3 times/week before bed.

After cleansing, apply a decent amount to your nose, cheeks, forehead, and chin areas,

and ensure that you apply a thicker layer than with normal cream. Apply the mask overnight without rinsing off and wake up with beautiful, soft and radiant skin. Wash your face the next morning with soap or facial foam to cleanse off all residues. Avoid applying on the skin with inflamed acne.

ingredients: Aqua, Butylene Glycol, Capric Acid, Glycerin, Gold, Alpha-Arbutin, Hexylene Glycol, Caprylic Acid, Macrocystis Pyrifera Extract, Lactic Acid, 1, 2-Hexanediol, Ascorbic Acid, PEG-400, Bacillus/Soybean/Folic Acid Perment, Allantoin, Bisabolol Extract, Hexylresorcinol, Rhododendron Ferrugineum Leaf Cell Culture Extract, Caproic Acid, Alcohol, Palmitoyl Hydroxypropyltrimonium Amylopectin/Glycerin Crosspolymer, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Caprylyl Glycol, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Retinol, Tocopherol, Sodium Hyarulonate, Isomalt, Lecithin, Polysorbate 20, Propylparaben, PVP, Sodium Benzoate, Butylparaben, Methylparaben, Tourmaline Extract, BHA, BHT

     I've been using the product for more than three weeks now. I use it twice or thrice a week. I can say that the product is a bit hassle to use because you have to apply it to your face and let it dry before sleeping. The color of this mask is white gold. It's white upon application and turns gold after a few minutes.

Product Review: Snow Aura Whitening Booster Mask
My apologies for this blurry photo, can't figure out why my phone camera can't capture it clearly :(

     

     So after using it religiously, I can say that it helped me in lightening some of the dark marks on my chin which was caused by pimples that I popped :( I've been bugged with cystic pimples around my chin a week before or after my period. Too bad that I wasn't able to take the before photo of my chin :(

Product Review: Snow Aura Whitening Booster Mask

   
     The texture of this mask is thick and creamy. Like what I've mentioned above, it's white-gold in color and will turn gold after application. The scent is not overpowering. I describe it as rose-scented but very subtle. The photo below shows how the mask looks like after application.

Product Review: Snow Aura Whitening Booster Mask

   
     As you can see on my photo below, some parts of my face are brighter and if you'll look closely on the right side of my chin, the blemishes is not visible and dark in this photos. I swear, it's really dark before that I have to apply a concealer to cover it. Now it's barely noticeable with bb cream of tinted moisturizer. For the freckles, it did nothing because the color and size are still the same. 

Product Review: Snow Aura Whitening Booster Mask
My face upon waking up. My apologies for the eye bags. Sleeping less than 5 hours for a week now :(

What I like:

• The packaging- it comes in a very sturdy plastic packing with top lid and spatula.
• The scent is not overpowering.
• A little goes a long way.
• The texture is thick but very easy to spread on my face.
• No irritation, breakouts, or whatsoever during the time I'm using the face mask.
• It made my skin glowing and brighter the next day.
• It lightened some of the pimple marks on my chin.
• Batch, manufacturing, and expiry dates printed on the packaging.

What I don't like:

• It's pricey compared to other overnight facial mask in the market.
• The application can be hassle for those who just prefer putting the mask on their face in just 1-2-3.
• It takes time to dry to make sure that it will not transfer on your pillow.
• Not easily accessible as you have to buy it online.

Will I repurchase? Still thinking as I have more than half of the tub to finish. 

Recommendation:

     I give this a 4.5/5 rating. I love applying facial mask weekly to boost all the facial care products that I apply on my face everyday. Since this facial mask is not intended for relaxation, I will not elaborate more on that. I'm happy with the results that it lightened some pimple marks on my chin but I'm having second thoughts in other areas like the application and the price. 

     If you have the money to spend and wanted to whiten and even out your skin tone, this product will help you work on that. I think I just need to use it religiously for more than one month to see maximum results. This is a luxurious mask to firm, whiten, and brighten your face so it you want to amp up your whitening game in the next level, this mask is for you!

Do you use facial mask weekly? What's your favorite brand?

Product Review: Kojiesan Lightening Range- Soap, Lotion, Cleanser + Toner & Face Cream

    Hello dearies! Sharing with you my review of Kojiesan Skin Lightening Soap, Kojiesan Cleanser + Toner, Kojiesan Face Lightening Cream, and Kojiesan Body Lightening Lotion after using them for more than a month. I've already made a feature of these products from Beauty Elements Ventures, Inc. (BEVI) last month so I presume that you already know what these are for. Kojic Acid is the main ingredient of Kojiesan and this line is intended for skin lightening. 

     Why lightening and not whitening? Well, Kojiesan will not just whiten your skin but will lighten it by giving a healthy and youthful glow. I'm a believer of using products religiously to see the maximum results. Applying skin care products from a line or range will be more effective since there will be two or more main ingredient that will work hand-in-hand. So without further ado, here's my honest to goodness review of Kojiesan Lightening range below :)

Product Review: Olay Skin Whitening Bars- Rose and Milk, Papaya, Vitamin C

     Taking care of our skin is not easy because aside from our daily habits, finding the right products that will maintain our skin healthy is very important. There's also another important habit that we need to practice- using the product religiously and sticking to the regimen if it's effective.

     But skin care becomes more complicated when our skin care goals change overtime like for example we always stay under the sun resulting to uneven skin tone and worst developing dark spots in some parts of our body. When these problems arise, we need to change our skin care regimen and try other brands that will be as effective like before. There's a #OneWashWonder that everyone's talking about and it was already revealed! Details about this promising skin care product below :)

Product Review: Olay Skin Whitening Bars- Rose and Milk, Papaya, Vitamin C

     We have different skin types and skin care needs. In this age and time, many Filipinas want to achieve fair and even skin tone. I presume that most Filipinas have tried different skin whitening products. These women use whitening soaps and experience a tingling and stinging sensation thinking that this is a sign of efficacy. Beauty does not have to mean pain, especially when it may be doing more harm to the skin than good. 

Product Review: Olay Skin Whitening Bars- Rose and Milk, Papaya, Vitamin C

     Weeks ago, I was invited to the launch of the World’s No. 1 Facial Skin Care Brand- Olay that provides skin care products to address every skin care need, including whitening. I received a super pretty invitation and I have no idea about it. During the launch beauty enthusiasts and beauty bloggers gathered to witness the unveiling of that #OneWashWonder and Olay revealed itself to be the #OneWashWonder that promises fair, radiant skin without the pain.

• It also has a longer lasting scent and a rich lather that leaves skin soft, smooth and moisturized.

     Get natural white skin from first use. Discover the #OneWashWonder for yourself today. I was amazed that after my first use, I saw and felt something different in my skin. I've tried the Rose and Milk variant on my hands and saw my palms glowing. What more if I use it in my body right?

     And because I really wanted to see that there's more positive effects to that #OneWashWonder when you use Olay Skin Whitening Bar, I partnered with Olay to review the product and continued using the Olay Skin Whitening Bar with Rose and Milk variant at home. After one week of continued use, I can say that my skin is soft, smooth, and glowing. Of course I haven't seen any drastic change in my skin tone because one week is not enough knowing that I have a fair skin.

      But what's promising about the New Olay Skin Whitening Bars are the results after one wash like soft, smooth, and literally glowing skin which looks like glitters are dusted all over my body. I can also attest that my skin feels squeaky clean after use.

What I like:

• The packaging is simple but dainty and pretty. You can read and see the information about the variant of the soap that's inside the box.
• The price- it's very affordable!
• I like the scent of rose and milk and vitamin c variant. The first one has a subtle rose scent while the latter is mild fruity.
• It produces a rich and creamy lather.
• My skin feels squeaky clean after each use.
• It's easy to rinse.
• My skin feels soft and smooth to touch after use.
• I can literally see a glow, like what I've said above there's a glittery-like glow on my skin.
• I also feel refreshed after taking a bath. Not sure if there's an ingredient that gives a little cooling effect.
• No irritation, breakouts, or whatsoever.
• The soap doesn't melt easily.
• There's a batch and expiry date stamped on the box packaging.
• It's easily accessible.
• There are three variants to choose from, all are intended to beautify the skin gently.

What I don't like:

• My sensitive nose dislikes the  papaya variant but I think it's just me because my sister and my mom likes that scent.

Will I repurchase: Yes, it's in the realm of possibility.

Recommendation:

     I give this a 4.5/5 rating. This rating goes for the rose and milk variant. I'll be testing the two variants in the next days and the variant with Vitamin C looks promising too as there's a natural ingredient known to whiten the skin- Morus Root Alba Extract (White Mulberry). I can say that the soap is okay in revealing my natural white skin after a week. It's good in exfoliating dead skin cells and in maintaining my skin tone even if I'm always out under the sun. Of course I still use my favorite sunblock.

     I'll keep using the remaining rose and milk variant for now as I'm loving the effects on my skin. The New Olay Skin Whitening Bar promises natural white skin from first use and in my observation is an effective yet gentle solution to whiten tired and uneven skin. 

Have you tried the new Olay Skin Whitening Bars? What's your favorite variant?

Good Times!~
