Ever since I embarked on my journey as a beauty and fashion blogger, my vanity has become a treasure trove of various beauty and skin care products. The thrill of reviewing these exquisite items has become an integral part of my blogging experience. Over the course of several years, I have witnessed the remarkable evolution of the beauty and skincare product industries. It is truly fascinating to observe how this industry is in a constant state of flux, with new and innovative products and brands making their way into the Philippine market year after year.




In my extensive exploration of both international and local beauty products, I must say that each product I have had the pleasure of reviewing possesses its own unique classification and quality within its respective brand standard. So, I recently stumbled upon this product called Mei Skin Essential, and let me tell you, I was completely taken aback when I discovered that it is actually owned by none other than a talented Dabawenya. And get this: she's not just any ordinary individual; she's a social media and content creator extraordinaire. I mean, talk about breaking stereotypes and shattering expectations! Karel Kat Lopez is the mastermind behind this incredible brand, proving that local talent knows no bounds. It's truly inspiring to see someone from our own backyard making waves in the industry. Kudos to Karel for her remarkable achievements!




This particular product has recently piqued my interest greatly. After hearing rave reviews from numerous sources, I couldn't resist the urge to try it out for myself. Not only was I eager to experience its benefits firsthand, but I also wanted to show my support for my dear friend and her flourishing business venture. So, I made my way to the enchanting Tea Heaven Cafe Davao, where this extraordinary product is prominently showcased.

Nestled at the intersection of San Pedro St. and Bolton St. in the vibrant city of Davao, this charming establishment has become a go-to destination for tea enthusiasts and curious souls alike.

And let me tell you, folks, I couldn't help but be interested in her product line. I just had to get my hands on not one, but two of her fabulous creations: the Gentle Mallows Facial Wash and the Frozen Rosy Serum.



GENTLE MALLOWS FACIAL WASH 

I am currently on my fourth day of incorporating Mei Skin Essential products into my skincare routine, and I must say, things are looking promising. Let me tell you, folks, about the incredible Gentle Mallows Facial Wash. This product is not just your average cleanser; oh no, it goes above and beyond to deliver exceptional results. With its deep cleansing properties, it effectively removes dirt and impurities, leaving your skin feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

Gentle Mallows P229


But that's not all, my friends. This facial wash is a true acne-fighting hero. Its powerful formula works tirelessly to prevent those pesky breakouts, giving you the clear and blemish-free complexion you've always dreamed of. Say goodbye to those unwelcome visitors on your face!

What sets Gentle Mallows Facial Wash apart from the rest is its antibacterial properties. It tackles those pesky bacteria that can wreak havoc on your skin, ensuring a clean and healthy canvas for your beauty routine. No more worries about unwanted germs causing trouble!

But wait, there's more. This incredible product also boasts a special component that helps lift and firm your skin. Say hello to a more youthful and toned appearance! And if that wasn't enough, it even works to brighten your face, leaving you with a radiant and glowing complexion. Who doesn't want that?

Last but certainly not least, Gentle Mallows Facial Wash is equipped with powerful anti-aging properties. It fights the signs of aging, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Embrace your age gracefully with this remarkable product. So, my dear readers, if you're in search of a facial wash that does it all, look no further than Mei Skin Essential Gentle Mallows. It's a game-changer, providing deep cleansing, acne prevention, antibacterial action, skin lifting, and brightening.



FROZEN ROSY Serum with Niacinamide

So, let's talk about skincare in our 20s, If you're like me and have oily skin, then you know the struggle is real. I use product with salicylic acid as one of the recommendation I got from my dermatologist!

But let me tell you about the magical transformation that occurs when we enter our fabulous 40s! Our skin, like a chameleon, undergoes a metamorphosis, revealing a unique combination of dryness and oiliness. I have discovered a true gem that has become my skin's knight in shining armor—none other than the magnificent Frozen Rosy with Niacinamide!

Frozen Rosy P160


This wondrous ingredient has worked wonders for my newfound skin type. Its enchanting properties have brought balance and harmony to my complexion, leaving me with a radiant and youthful glow. Niacinamide, with its soothing and hydrating prowess, has become my secret weapon in the battle against dryness and oiliness. Oh, the joy of stumbling upon this beautiful treasure!

Frozen Rosy with Niacinamide, with its transformative powers, has become an integral part of my skincare routine, ensuring that my skin remains nourished, hydrated, and oh-so-gorgeous. So, my dear, if you find yourself in a similar skin predicament, I implore you to give Mei Skin Essential Frozen Rosy with Niacinamide a try. Trust me, your skin will thank you for it!


MY VERDICT

I am beyond thrilled to have stumbled upon these two absolute gems from the fabulous Mei Skin Essential. Can we just take a moment to appreciate the sheer joy that these products bring to my beauty-loving heart? It's like finding a hidden treasure trove of skincare goodness! Trust me, you won't want to miss out on these babies. They are the epitome of skincare perfection!





Today, I wanted to talk about the Gentle Mallows and share a little suggestion I have for the packaging. Don't get me wrong; this product is absolutely amazing with its non-comedogenic formula. However, I couldn't help but notice that sometimes we have to apply a bit of pressure to get that fabulous formula to come out. So, I thought it would be great if we could explore a more user-friendly packaging option. Let's keep that flawless application effortless, shall we? Let's talk about the absolute fabulousness of having a pump bottle! Can we just take a moment to appreciate the sheer convenience and elegance it brings to our beauty routines? I mean, seriously, it's like a little touch of luxury every time we reach for our favorite products. The sleek design, the effortless dispensing—it's all with an up-lock or down-lock feature to prevent output from spilling over.

I really love the packaging of the Serum, but sometimes we can be careless in our daily routine. I have only one suggestion, which is to replace the glass with plastic. I understand that serum bottles are suitable for both short- and long-term storage.

Plastic serum bottles are advantageous due to their impact resistance and lightweight nature. On the other hand, glass serum bottles offer resistance to lab chemicals and provide optimal clarity. Both plastic and glass containers used for storage have the potential to affect the concentration of polychlorinated biphenyls in serum. What is the difference between having it in a plastic bottle and having it in a glass bottle if they're both good in terms of preserving its formula?

In fact, plastic bottles for serum are much cheaper than their glass counterparts. Large quantities are typically manufactured to help reduce the overall cost of materials. Most plastic containers are designed to withstand minor impacts without breaking or cracking. Make sure to use plastic that are 100% recyclable.

In a market saturated with high-priced skin care products, Mei Skin Essentials stands out as a beacon of affordability without compromising on quality. While its competitors may boast exorbitant price tags, Mei Skin Essentials has managed to carve a niche for itself by delivering exceptional results to its discerning clientele. One cannot help but be in awe of the incredible balance Mei Skin Essentials has achieved between cost-effectiveness and efficacy. Despite its modest price point, this brand has managed to formulate products that rival the performance of their more expensive counterparts.
It is a testament to Mei Skin Essentials' commitment to providing accessible skin care solutions without compromising on the standards that discerning consumers have come to expect.

Beauty products often come with a hefty price tag, so it's a breath of fresh air to stumble upon a gem that not only caters to sensitive skin but also manages to be incredibly affordable. Yes, dear readers, I am referring to none other than this remarkable product. With its gentle formulation, specifically designed to soothe and nourish delicate skin, it has quickly become a go-to choice for those seeking a reliable solution without breaking the bank.

And for my upcoming beauty exploration, I am eagerly anticipating the opportunity to delve into the realm of skincare with the highly acclaimed Mei Skin Essentials Frozen White lotion, boasting an impressive SPF 60.

The use of sunscreen has a very straightforward purpose for me: to prevent my skin from becoming damaged by the sun. Because I think that damage from the sun is the primary source of early wrinkles and dark spots, especially on those of us Asian women, I try to stay out of the sun as much as possible.


If you read my previous post about Fairy Skin Premium Brightening Sunscreen, you'll know that I've been going through a sunscreen craze recently. For a good number of years, the only time I put on sunscreen was before going outside for extended periods of time, such as when I went to the beach or went hiking. Even when I'm at home, I protect my face from the sun by applying sunscreen.

My concern about developing hyperpigmentation, also known as dark sun spots, led me to conduct an intensive search for the most effective sunscreen products currently on the market. In the past, I always assumed that a higher SPF meant greater protection and a lower risk of sunburn for me. Despite the fact that this is partly true, I now have more options to consider when purchasing sunscreen.




These days, there are a lot of new sunscreen products on the market, and it's getting pretty crowded. My feeds on Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram have shown me a variety of different sunscreen and sun protection products. It's hard to say what will work for me because there are so many possibilities.

I began using a sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30 or higher. Since then, I've experimented with sunscreens with an SPF of both 50 and 100, even though I am aware that the latter does not offer a protection level that is as high as 50. Because the difference is insignificant, you must continue to reapply the product at the same time intervals every two hours.

In addition, I learned that there are two distinct types of sunscreen: chemical sunscreen and mineral sunscreen. These two categories are very important considerations to make when deciding what is best for you.

Chemical sunscreens contain oxybenzone and avobenzone. Wait 15 minutes before sun exposure for this sunscreen to absorb. You can get it as a lotion, spray, or stick at the drugstore or beauty store. Chemical sunscreens absorb quickly, so there is no white cast or rubbing. Keep cautious because chemical sunscreen components may be harmful when absorbed into the skin. Take your time to research the claim.




Because of this, I need to be mindful of the ingredients in any sunscreen that I apply to my face so that I may select the most effective one. Both Fairy Skin and Shiro are currently at the top of my list when it comes to my favorite sunscreens. Why? because they are both made of mineral ingredients.

In order to protect your skin from the sun, you should use a mineral sunscreen, also called a physical sunscreen, which sits on top of your skin and produces a protective layer that reflects the sun's rays. Mineral sunscreen is convenient because you don't have to wait 15 minutes before going outside, so you can use it as a primer and/or makeup foundation.

Mineral sunscreens, such as the one offered by Shiro Skin Care, are safe for use on coral reefs. Going to the beach while wearing a sunscreen that contains xybenzone and octinoxate is detrimental to the health of our marine life and should be avoided at all costs. This Shiro Whitening Sunscreen is a fantastic choice for people who have sensitive skin because it lays on top of the skin.

As previously said, I alternated between using Fairy Skin and Shiro sunscreens on my face. I'm not a cosmetics enthusiast, but I'm not willing to have a white cast on my face. SHIRO WHITENING SUNSCREEN has an SPF of 50, does not leave a white cast, is non-greasy, and works wonderfully under foundation. I received it last year as a gift from Dianne of Davao Food Guide during her Thanksgiving party.

I already said that most sunscreens are meant to be reapplied every 2 hours. I work online from home, so even if I'm not exposed to the sun's rays, I'm still exposed to the lights at home and the radiation from computers, which can also damage your skin.

In the end, sunscreen is about keeping your skin safe. If you don't like putting sunscreen on your face, try adding it to your routine slowly. In my case, I wanted to highlight the things that are important to me in a sunscreen. Find products that fit with the way you live. Besides Fairy Skin and Shiro, I also like Poly Beauty Tinted Sunscreen.

SHIRO Skin Care Whitening Sunscreen with SPF 50 is available for only P180.

It's the time of year when we eat too much of all the food groups and treats we try to avoid the rest of the year (which, for me, just makes me want them more, even though I have GERD and can't eat a lot of things). Unfortunately for us, our skin doesn't love cakes, chocolate, cheese, coffee and alcoholic beverages as much as we do. So, if your skin isn't happy with the food you've been eating and is starting to look a little worse for wear, keep reading for tips on how to cheer it up and get it back to normal after the holidays.

We are, unfortunately, what we eat, so before you go crazy with detoxifying skin care products after a month of nonstop holiday indulgence, try cutting back on your diet a bit. Your skin will reward you if you make an effort to make your dishes look more colorful than neutral beige.


GO BACK TO (THE) BASIC




If you've been eating a lot of sweets, which, let's be honest, is quite impossible to resist during the holiday season—we're not judging—it's probably the reason why your skin is looking a little reddened and puffy. Antioxidants, which are commonly included in skincare products, have the potential to calm irritated skin and bring it back to its usual appearance in a relatively short amount of time. The use of skincare products containing aloe vera, vitamin E, or green tea will be effective. These are all ingredients that are high in antioxidants and have anti-inflammatory properties, which will help reduce the appearance of puffiness. They are available in a wide variety of forms.




I find that drinking juice made from fruits and vegetables is the most effective way for me to cleanse my body. However, because I have GERD, tomatoes are not on my list of acceptable food to eat.





It's important to replenish lost fluids after the holiday celebrations because overnights, alcohol beverages, and cold temperatures may all be drying to the skin. The hydrating serums in sheet masks establish a barrier over the skin, locking in moisture and making the mask an effective hydrator. High amounts of sugar consumption hasten the glycation process, which is just a fancy phrase for the breakdown of collagen in the skin, so a collagen-boosting mask wouldn't hurt!




In addition, it's important to replenish by drinking eight glasses of water.

And for my final suggestion, have your own at-home facial massage.


 

Spend 10 to 15 minutes massaging your face in an upward motion with an oil or cleansing balm to remove toxins and stimulate the lymphatic system.




I purchased a handheld acupuncture massager pen. The fact that this product may be used not only on our bodies but also on our faces is one of the things I enjoy most about it.




The vibrations smooth out wrinkles and tighten sagging skin, which are both signs of aging, and promote healthy, radiant skin. The massager acupuncture pen features three distinct types of massage heads, including a dome, a spheroidal, and a node type. These massage heads were created to be utilized in various locations on the body to achieve a variety of therapeutic goals.

When the holiday celebrations are over, how do you like to relax and pamper your skin? Do share!

I really have the hardest time in putting false lashes, that's one of my irksome shame in makeup. I've done lash extensions and lash lifts, but as for the false lash strips, my skill level is just there. I'm not a beauty guru, but I love putting makeup on my face, for me, it's a satisfaction especially if you put false lashes perfectly!


DISCLAIMER: This is not a paid or sponsored post, this is based on my personal use of the product


My usual routine in putting lashes and over the years I've tried it, I failed! Especially when you apply the lash glue, it's a complete mess.

I'm so happy that POLLY LASHES introduce ADHESIVE PEN LINER in the market. And as a Beauty Product Reviewer Blogger,  I just can't settle for janky-looking falsies. I love to look for natural, dramatic lashes, but extensions are tedious and look expensive. Something that you are living in a luxury lash lifestyle, but budget-friendly.


I bought the product for P499 only. FREE Shipping Fee.

ACTUAL PRICE: ₱899+

💜 1 SET/KIT

✅ 3 Lashes (reusable up to 20x each pair)



✅ 1 Tweezer



✅ 1 Adhesive Eyeliner


As soon as my product delivered, I used it immediately. Honestly,  I'm curious because I read so many product reviews regarding Polly Lashes and all are positive reviews.

So, here's my review for Polly Lashes.



Natural Look Lashes



Extra Full Length Lashes



Wearing fake lashes is like a love/hate relationship and that was before. Now, I really have the hardest time because when you start wearing it and you know how to do it alone, you start to look naked without them — like your eyes without mascara, or your ears without earrings. False eyelashes are just so much fun, and thanks to POLLY LASHES they pull the entire package, the good pair of lashes (that depends on your mood) and the best adhesive pen liner that helps your eyes look bigger, seductive and picture perfect.

This year is indeed a challenging year not only for us in the Philippines, but globally. As we continue to face the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects that completely altered the normalcy we used to know, almost everyone feels that they are in the dark and without hope.



Looking back on how Filipinos proved to be the guiding light in time of COVID and what’s next for a community rebuilding the society through helping each other.


#BeTheLight


SkinWhite, a pioneering whitening brand stood out by bringing light not just to whiten skin but to bring the light of hope to everyone through its #BeTheLight campaign. This envisioned to champion togetherness with everyone, either by group or individual, to be the beacons of light in these trying times.

#BeTheLight campaign supported the good causes of several individuals and organizations through donation.

Chosen individuals are as follows:


  • Marielle Solomon of Siargao Community Kitchen which  aided more than 4,000 families in their community and neighboring barangays



  • Barangay Holy Spirit PWD Association’s president Sarah dela Rosa whose efforts were recognized even outside their area.



  • Pia Alviola of Project Love who was able to donate more than 2,000 protective equipment to frontliners.




  • Melissa Olit of Aiza’s Community Kitchen reached more than 15,000 beneficiaries.




  • Angela Lapinosa’s team for RiceAboveCovid, were able to provide more than 300 help packages.


SkinWhite also reached out to several organizations to work together to #BeTheLight to more people across the country. These organizations were Save San Roque Alliance, an organization that provided meals to families in Sitio San Roque, North Triangle, Quezon City, #SilogForACause, a group who prepared silog meals for frontliners and volunteers, Tulong Kabataan Volunteer Network, bikers turned donors of Life Cycles PH, FoodTray2Go, Act as One PH, Juan Spark Youth Leaders, and Project PEARLS (Peace, Education, Aspiration, Respect, Love, and Smiles) who have put smiles on children’s faces amidst the pandemic and the discomfort caused by the enforced quarantine. SkinWhite amplified their efforts by sharing their stories nationwide through social media with the hope that many people will be inspired to join in their causes.

Aside from individuals and organizations, the light also transcended to SkinWhite’s trade partners. The brand’s display rental fees were converted to augment the needs of each of the participating store’s dedicated frontliner employees. Relief packages including essential goods and SkinWhite products were prepared and given to them. Through this, SkinWhite and its trade partners were the light that gave these hardworking frontliner employees more encouragement and motivation during these hard times.

Everyone can share the light, and #BeTheLight.

As the #BeTheLight initiative heralds the value of working hand-in-hand, SkinWhite creatively thought of more ways to have more people on board in the mission to share the light. Different people were asked to write and send words of encouragement and appreciation to our kind-hearted volunteers and frontliners. This is to make them feel that they are not alone in this fight and that they are truly appreciated! These personal messages were included on the daily essential packages which SkinWhite prepared for them.

#BeTheLight aims to have brighter days ahead for everyone

#BeTheLight campaign proved that by coming together, significant and brighter results are sure to radiate among communities and neighborhoods. And just like light, it continues to transcend to everyone. This initiative is a reminder of hope, not only for frontliners, volunteers, and those affected by the pandemic, but for everyone who needs hope as we all bounce back from these trying times.

Now more than ever, SkinWhite will continue to #BeTheLight by giving hope and encouragement to more individuals and organizations to continue on with the cause to bring brighter days ahead!

I really don't have a skincare routine. I just wash my whole body in the shower and applied moisturizer and sunscreen all over my face and body before going out. But now I'm kicking myself, like at age 18 I should have started it!


I'm in my early forties and looking at my skin as it age is very different, like pampering your skin with cleanser and moisturizer day & night will not banished wrinkles and pigmentation but it helps my skin feels smoother and healthier. That's why I am still wondering: What else should I be doing?

As it turns out, that a good skin routine doesn't need to be expensive with a long term engagement. As, what Ms. Maria Cristy Ganabe have told us during The Cellin Product launching held at Marco Polo.

Skincare doesn't have to be complicated. The right essentials are: Wash your face as needed, moisturize as needed and use the right product, the newest Science on Skin Care and that's The Cellin.

THE CELLIN

One of the premium cosmetic product in Korea is available now here in Davao. THE CELLIN is a skin science beauty product that makes your skin beautiful and it has a high-class anti-aging formula called CellinBio, an antibiotic/anti-inflammatory peptide materials that helps to restore your troubled skin care.


It is the best products that deal with specific concerns, like acne or aging.

If you have issues like eczema, rosacea, or severe acne, it's best to use their Real HONEY SOAP highly-recommended.

Made from a real honey ingredients!
  
I already use this soap - tried and tested. I love the result! Hypoallergenic that suited for all skin type. It has a moisturizing and whitening effect. Recommended for babies and all ages. And can be used by pregnant moms too.

They also have VITA Therapy Mask and DENTAL CARE TOOTHPASTE.



WASH YOUR FACE with HONEY SOAP

Good old fashioned soap is good at this job - too good to be true. In fact, it can strip away too much of our natural oils, so you're best off is to used a cleanser that sometimes hurt your sensitive skin. 

There's no strict rule on how often to wash your face, but with honey soap you can used it everyday because it is safe to use, hypoallergenic and all natural ingredients.



You don't need any special equipment to wash: just splash your face with water, massage using the Honey Soap foam on your fingertips then rinse.


MOISTURIZE with VITA THERAPY MASK

Just as the name implies - VITA being beautiful. And to have that VITA factor you better have a good skin., so need to moisturize (means keep water in your skin). This is very important because everything works when our skin has enough water.


Most of us should moisturize twice a day, because we are living in a tropical country. VITA THERAPY MASK help moist and brighten up your skin.

Skin cells will naturally exfoliate and your skin will be better, especially if you have skin conditions from eczema to acne that tends to flare up when skin is dry and settle down when skin is well moisturized.

LEARN MORE about your TOOTHPASTE

As we head out on our skincare journey, let's tackle also our teeth and gum problems. Right now, competing companies want to sell their products with a grandeus promotions and advertisements, researchers are often funded and publications that talk about beauty and skincare get more clicks when they talk about it on a social media on how exciting the product is. Well, how about dental care?

For the rest of us, well it's easy to be amazed with excitement. Maybe that product really worked for someone else. Honestly, I haven't use all THE CELLIN product yet, but the one they gave us during the launch really have a great impact to me as a consumer, especially the DENTAL CARE TOOTHPASTE.


What I've been missing all my life???!!! It's just that I am greatly overwhelmed with the information I've read with this product.

   

This toothpaste has a BLUE CODE STRIPE meaning the formula and ingredients used are all NATURAL and MEDICINE. And perhaps it is, but let's not discuss about the color stripes here. We consumers are responsible in checking ingredients and fine print to see if they really have what you need for your dental care.

All in all, I am happy to be part of the launching of Korea's skin care product by NRCommunications.

Special thanks to Ms. Anne Arroyo, Mrs. Philippines Asia Pacific Cellin Ambassadress 2019 for the invitation to the Davao Digital Influencers.

What else should I be doing? I better start investing to this product that promises good income and at the same time makes me look beautifully young. If you're ready to get started --- start with the basic. SIGN UP NOW

Face masks has remained a favorite skincare  for quite some time. After all, what's not to love about pampering your way to a better skin.

A facial spa session happened 3 weeks ago, and I'm so privilege to try their Premium Products.


And if you want to be a RESELLER of VCE, you will get the following discount:




I was given two of their premium products, ABSORB & LUMINOUS to try at home.

PRODUCT REVIEW

Whether we're dealing with stressed-out skin and breakouts, face masks have become a go-to resource to deal with our skincare struggles.

There so many variety of face masks out there, but always be careful to choose the types that tailor to your specific needs.

VCE give me ABSORB.



What I like about this product is it can be use as a facial scrub and at the same time a facial mask. So there's no need to start stressing yourself out about the specifics. Besides, we all know how stress affect our skin!

You know the beauty ritual if you want your skin to be healthy and glowing. And as I said, going to spa or esthetician for a professional facial can be expensive. Fortunately, you can get the same benefits and results by exfoliating, steaming and facial mask at home using VCE Premium Products.

First, it's important to start with a clean face before exfoliate. Make sure you wash your face with a warm water and massage a cleanser that fits your skin type. Then rinse with lukewarm water.

Then just pat your face with a clean towel, but not necessarily to make it dry.

Apply ABSORB as a facial scrub, just put a small amount of water and gently rub it over your face. Massage it into your skin in upward circular motions for about 15-30 seconds. Pay attention to areas where the skin is especially rough, dry, or prone to clogged pores.

After massaging your face with a facial scrub, splash your face with warm water. Make sure to remove residue before patting your face with dry clean towel.


If you want to exfoliate without steaming and using a mask, follow up the scrub with a serum and/or moisturizer.


ABSORB as a facial mask, same as with your cleanser, it's very important to choose a face mask that suits your skin type.




Absorb is an organic charcoal clay like type mask, suitable for any type of skin that gently remove excess oil, treat acne, hydrate, brighten and soothe the skin.


Let it try for 15-20 minutes. Wash the masks off with warm water and pat dry. You can also use a dampen washcloth to remove it, since Absorb is a clay type mask. And use a clean towel to pat your face dry.

Facial Masks works gently by removing the outermost layer of your skin to relieve dullness and dead skin. This produces a smoother skin texture, and it can also help balance out pigmentation.




ABSORB is organic mask it has vitamin, plant-based and formulated with charcoal, antioxidants and botanicals. These are the key ingredients works together to reveal the glow complexion that we all crave! 

It's time to get facemask-friendly using organic VCE ABSORB.



Another product given to me by VCE is LUMINOUS.

After you removed the mask, splash your face with cool water and dry it. Apply Luminous as your moisturizer (it can also be your primer) .




You can use a toner before you apply the moisturizer if you want.

Finally, a beauty brand VCE recognize this by incorporating primers into their products. Good news for us especially working mothers always on the go, considering we don't have time to prime before we primp.

Luminous is a moisturizer that leaves a great dewy but semi-matte texture that's perfect for absorbing any makeup.




The answer to the moisturizing primer that absorbs excess sebum, reduces shine and moisturizes with botanical ingredients - perfectly moisturized primed base.




I highly recommend this product. It also has a brightening effect and anti-pollution agent.

I have a lot of pigmentation on my face. My children tease me sometimes that I have a lot of freckles. Hope as I religiously use Absorb & Luminous it can help me eliminate small pigmentation on my face.

NOTE: If you have a very, very sensitive skin you can feel a sizzling sensation (tingling or pricking of the skin) but tolerable.
