Shout out to @beautyinsider.my for sending me these beauties in exhange for my honest reviews.
PRODUCT NO. 1?
COMMONLABS Vitamin C Glow Boosting Face Mask
?CLAIMS: The natural exfoliation effect of Lemom Peel Granules and AHA, BHA, PHA complex makes skin smooth by removing dead skin cells. Additionally, pure Vitamin C and 7 kinds of Fruit Complex help to moisturise and brighten skin.
?PACKAGING & VOLUME: Comes in orange transparent 120g-tube with flip cap. Hygienic & easy to dispense??
?SCENT: Since it contains lemon so of course it does smell like citrusy but more to medicinal? Macam ubat batuk/ubat demam perisa oren/lemon ? Kotlah ? but in a pleasing way.
?TEXTURE: Contains big chunky granules made from real lemon peel for physical exfoliation but very gentle on your skin ok despite the huge size. The texture also reminds me of agar-agar ?
?APPLICATION: Supposed to use it 1-2 times only in a week. Apply thick layer and wait for about 5-10 mins and then rinse off it.
But since I need to review this soon, I used it every other day with very gentle scrubbing.
?EXPERIENCE:
It does give me a very little hot sensation (maybe my skin is sensitive idk) but you can barely notice it. Luckily it doesn't sting.
I usually focus on my nose area bcs I feel like there are lots of sebaceous filament and whenever I touch it with my hands, I can feel the "bumpiness". So, before rinsing I would scrub more on that area and find it smooth after that!
And for other areas, I apply it as mask to soothe my redness.
VERDICT: It does do its job well as exfoliator but i'm not sure if i reduces some of my dark spots under chin. Maybe need more time to observe
I'd give 4/????? to this mask!?
Product No. 2
COMMONLABS Vitamin C Brightening Gel Cream
?CLAIMS
Moist gel type of cream consisting of pure Vitamin C and 30% Sea Buckthorn Water provides ample moisture and gloss to dull skin while Mandarin Orange Peel Extract smooths skin texture.
?PACKAGING
Comes in orange transparent jar with black lid. Btw, it comes with a spatula as well but I was too lazy so I just scoop it out with my finger?
?VOLUME
70g
?TEXTURE
Gel texture that moves along as you tilt the jar. Similar to aloe vera gel that you apply to cool and soothe the skin.
?SCENT
Citrusy and remind you of Tropicana Twister. So refreshing as it smells almost like real orange. Yummmyyyy!
?APPLICATION
Please note that my skin type is oily but those who have dry skin type probably need heavier cream as their moisturiser.
I apply this cream 1-2 times a day since I don't go to the office this week. Had I been there, I might apply 2-3 times.
Since it is gel, I tend to apply it generously especially on the sides of the nose where i think those areas are lack of hydration. It takes some time to fully absorb but it actually doesn't feel heavy at all!
When it has fully dried on your skin, it has some feeling like "tegang", slightly stretched out but not in a bad/strong way. The feeling is similar to when you apply aloe vera gel (or is it just me?)?
But overall I enjoy using it which I can layer multiple times, doesn't feel sticky or uncomfortable. For brightening effect, I haven't noticed any different on my dark spots on chin areas, could be too early.
Let me take some time to observe?
RATING: 4.5/?????
I'm not trying to be bias but gel creams are my thingy!?
