Review: Pond's White Beauty Pearl Cream

I've been seeing this product and got curious. Until one day I saw this, and off I went to the cashier.

From the Pond's Institute:

White Beauty Pearl Cream - for rough, uneven-toned skin - formulated to give you visibly radiant, smooth and pinkish-white looking skin.

Purifies for better Lightening - Vitamins C & E help nourish skin and neutralize effects of free radicals in the environment that cause skin darkening.

Evens out Skin Tone - Special formulation with Pearl Nutrient makes blemishes look instantly lighter and evens out dark skin areas on your face.

Shields Skin From Sun - Triple sunscreen protects skin from darkening and damaging UVA & UVB rays.

L: swiped once  R: blended

The consistency is creamy yet it's hard to spread on the skin. It doesn't glide smoothly, thus, making me tug my skin. And after application, you'll see the whitening effect literally. I don't know but the shade doesn't suit me well. And, it's actually sticky to the touch. The next day I woke up, my face feels and looks oily. All in all, I'm not satisfied with this product. Although it's for P50.00 (4g), it's still money. I don't know, but I'm still hoping that one day, this will also work for me the way it works for others. See, positivity counts!

Diamond Orange Peel and L-Glutathione Soap ~Review

Whenever I am at supermarkets, department stores, or in Watsons, I always see this particular soap that is something like a carrot/orange/kojie soap because of its box's color. Ok, I've seen this many times, but I don't know whether to look at it or just ignore it because it's somewhat di kapansin-pansin for me. Then I saw a review about it, how it's really effective in making your acne and acne scars vanish to death. So I bought it recently, with high hopes of helping me with my current foe which are my fugly acne scars. And I also got tempted since it's the sister of my beloved Shulammite Carrot Soap. Take a look at the product.

Active Ingredients: Glycerin, Orange peel extract, Fruit Acids, L-Glutathione, Claire Blanche complex, Vitamin C, Antioxidants, Stabilizer. All the ingredients are just as fantastic as one can ever imagine, and the best part is, it's all in one soap.

 

I cut it in two so that I can give the other half to my boyfriend for him to try since he has few dark spots due to being often exposed to the sun, and also for his acne scars that I consider as dark spots.

I purchased it last June 2, 2012, and now it's June 8. I tell you, I notice that my fugly scars somewhat lightened compared to my Etude House Red Spot Balm that I've been using since April 1 this year. This soap just lathers well and has a slight stinging sensation if left longer than it's desired length of use per wash.


Pros:

• effective in lightening and brightening the skin
• gradually helps in lightening dark spots and pimple marks
• Helps to lessen the oil in my face
• Tightens pores
• the scent! When my bf first opened it, he was like "Hmmm, ang bango!" Smells like oranges.
• Hefty. It's 150g.
• Available at Watsons and SM Dept. Store

Cons: 

• Can be a bit drying on your skin
• Has a slight stinging sensation
• Expensive for just a soap. This one is Php143.00. But who can complain? It's got good ingredients that are rich and essential in making your skin flawless.

Rating: 4.5/5

To sum it up, this product just works! I highly recommend this beauty soap. To those who just used or is currently using this soap, what are your thoughts about it? Share! :)

iWhite Skin Whitening Vita Moisturizing Facial Wash ~Review

I've found this product in a particular blog that claims to be a really good one in keeping your skin moisturized and hydrated, so I purchased it together with the nose pack, but only in sachets, just to be safe.

iWhite is a plant-based whitening skin care line that uses Bio-Nanotechnology to extract the core nutrients of Mulberry Extract and Panax Ginseng. A non-soap based formula that deeply cleanses and eliminates all skin impurities, and removes excess oil.

It contains Mulberry extract to whiten skin (antioxidants in mulberries can clear dark spots from the face and brighten the skin)

and Panax Ginseng to revitalize and improve skin conditions. This product not only cleanses, but it also claims to whiten, revitalize, and moisturize your face.

It has a pearl-like texture that makes me want to look at it, just like my Palmolive shampoo *shimmer shimmer*. :) Whenever I use it, I feel like my face is really clean and brightened. Yes, it has brightening properties that I must say is really visible with just one use. It also removes makeup remnants unlike other soaps that I use for my face.

Pros:

• cleanses deeply but will not leave skin taut and dry
• moisturizes and makes your skin hydrated
• mild and non-comedogenic
• has brightening properties
• affordable and it also comes in sachets (retails at Php18/sachet and Php139/tube

Cons:

• the brightening properties may not last long.

Rating: 4/5

Nevertheless, this product is a great one. Try it and share me your thoughts. :)

Etude House' AC Clinic Red Spot Balm + Whitening

Went to Megamall last April 1 to buy Etude House' Face Designing Brightener but unfortunately, it's also out of stock. So what I bought was the AC Clinic Red Spot Balm + Whitening since my acne scars have been annoying me for so long now. The product is said to be a scar lightening agent formulated with Madecassoside (skin healing agent), Salicylic Acid and Hinoki Cypress extracts, AC Clinic Red Spot Balm heals, clarifies and soothes facial trouble spots. Specialized target treatment heals and brightens blemishes with improved texture and skin whitening formula. It is also Non-Comedogenic & Dermatologist Tested.

It includes a 20ml jar of the Red spot Balm, a 5ml tube of their Pink Daily Spot and a spatula

Has a creamy consistency

Cutesy pen as a freebie since I purchased a product ranging from Php500.00

 I've been using it for like almost 2 weeks now but I haven't seen any change from my post acne scars. I think this works slowly but surely? That's what I've read from some bloggers who used this product. However, I really love the Pink Daily Spot since it's really effective in controling my probably emerging acne.

Overall, I couldn't really attest for now since I've been using it for few days only. But it also acts as a maintenance if you want to lessen the appearance of your blemishes.
