W~III Skincare

Hello lovelies,

those who are following me on instagram or youtube, must have known about my recent love, it's W~III Skincare from Taiwan. Please do watch the video at my youtube channel (here) before continue reading the post. You'll see the texture as well.

On the video, I'll share with you two products I've received and in this post it will be three, Night Cream, Essence (or serum) and Day Cream. I've been using the Night Cream and Essence since perhaps two weeks before receiving the Day Cream, and now, I'm using them continuing the routine.

-*-



Look at the packaging, they look gorgeous, right?! Some even say the container itself is luxurious. I do agree, and the one that made me interested in the products even more, is what's in it.

Let's start with the details of the essence or serum.
Skin Remodeling Essence
W~III Skin Remodeling Essence contains rich GHK-Cu Copper Peptide Complex functioned as an
activator of tissue remodeling. This essence effectively smooths fine lines and deep wrinkles, improves
skin elasticity, improves skin clarity, promotes the production of dermal fibroblasts returning the skin
cells back to a young stage.
Suitable for all skin types.

-*-


Skin Rejuvenating Day Cream
W`III Skin Rejuvenating Day Cream is formulated with the combination of multi moisture-loving 
ingredients and anti-oxidants that are excellent for retaining skin moisture, nourishing and helping skin 
heal. It is also enriched with GHK-Cu Copper Peptide Complex to make your skin become more firm, 
radiant, smooth, and supple, giving you a youthful appearance.

Intense Skin Treatment Night Cream
All world class BEST anti-aging ingredients working together while you sleep: 
GHK-Cu Copper Peptide Complex, Moringa Oleifera Seed Oil, Macadamia Oil, Shea Butter. Waking 
up the next day will never be the same again. 
Suitable for all skin type.

Where did I get all of these information? From the people who understand the brand and even I met with some of them during last week event, a beauty convention in Jakarta. I thought I already learn a lot when I was given a product knowledge but I understand even more when I met them, and one more good news, W~III will open their first counter soon in Jakarta.

-*-


What so good about W~III Skincare?

Here's a bit of everything inside each of the products:
GHK-Cu Copper Peptide
(Works beyond Retinoic Acid & Vitamin C. As researched by Dr. Loren Pickart)
Beta Glucan
(The Most Powerful Natural Immune Enhancer Known to Science)
Shea Butter, Aloe Vera, Moringa Oleifera Seed Oil, Macadamia Oil, etc.
(Natural, rich in antioxidant & moisture loving ingredients)

And here what's not in it:

Paraben-Free. Lanolin-Free. Mineral Oil-Free. Cruelty-Free
No Artificial Colors. No Sodium Lauryl Sulfate

So it is a pure effective ingredients with high efficacy and no bad stuffs.

-*-


Nerd alert, this is for those who really want to know the research behind W~III Skincare, and I must say, it does contain a handful of difficult words, don't be embarrassed, do google up. I really feel the need showing you this since, for me, it's ground breaking and mind blowing too. Like they did a pretty serious stuff in finding the right ingredients and formula for that highly effective skincare that made any other skincare in the market (no matter how pricey they are) looks less beneficial.

And please do compare W~III with other high quality skincare on its class, and not that mass produce stuffs that really bad for your skin where it is filled with bad chemicals and water only.

β-glucans are notable for their ability to modulate the immune system. They work in an incredibly powerful way by stimulating the activity of
macrophages, which are versatile immune cells that ingest and demolish invading pathogens. As they do so, they stimulate other immune cells
to attack. Macrophages also release cytokines, chemicals that when secreted enable the immune cells to communicate with one another. In
addition, beta glucans stimulate lethal white blood cells that bind to tumors or viruses, and release chemicals to destroy it. Not surprisingly
then, they turn out to be useful antioxidants. One study found that yeast-derived beta-glucan could reduce free radical formation in vitro.
For ages, it was believed that the large molecular structure of beta glutens would prevent them from effectively penetrating the skin. This all
changed a few years ago with a study published in International Journal of Cosmetic Science. The results showed that beta-glucan, “despite its
large molecular size, deeply penetrated the skin into the epidermis and dermis.” The same team tested 27 people to evaluate the effects of
beta-glucan on facial fine lines and wrinkles. After 8 weeks, there was “a significant reduction of wrinkle depth and height, and overall
roughness.”
So after the penetration issue was resolved, a team at the University of Alberta discovered how. It seems that the beta glucan enters the skin
the same way that water penetrates a brick wall. “It does not go through the brick, it goes through the concrete binding the bricks together,”
explained the lead scientist. “As a result of our study, we now know that glucan works through the inter-cellular lipid matrix, or the cells’
cement, to enter the lower levels of the skin. Of medical significance is the fact that beta glucan creams promote wound healing and reduction
in scaring following surgical procedures.”
Other researchers believe that beta glucan stimulates collagen, possibly by inducing the release of immune/inflammatory mediators, such as
IL-1 and NFkB.

Need me to sum it up?
Basically, the ingredients help healing, build immune, strong antioxidant, reduce scar in a significant way (obvious to the naked eye), reduce wrinkle and lines too, and many more. And in my case, the first visible sign is the pores, they literally shrunk to a soft and smooth appearance.

-*-


Above is the serum, I put some in a small bowl and the below image are is for Day Cream (lighter blue with gel like consistency) and Night Cream, slightly purplish with richer cream like texture that easily drank by the skin.

All of their products contain no colorant, so the 'blue-ness' are from the natural ingredients with high concentrate and really good for the skin.

I love their smell, it's so faint and floral. Signs of using natural ingredients for sure. All of them, from the essence, day and night cream works hand in hand in creating a better skin for me. Even thou' their texture is really light (those with normal to oily skin can enjoy), dry skin like mine is happy also. It is enough. I can add another hydrating emulsion when needed but these three is a great anti aging formula that I can't even compare.

Trust me when I said that I've tried so many skincare in the market, from the luxurious to mediocre, and again, I want to speak in the level that is somewhat equal with W~III and it's superb.

I'm almost 40 years old, hence I know the real issues of aging. I'm living it, and I've been using anti aging products before reaching 25, almost all the high end brands in the market has landed on my skin, I know their texture, scents, they effectiveness and some even faults too. I can say that W~III Skincare, actually works, they made differences.

-*-



I used to have normal skin in my 20's and change to dry and sensitive, it's normal for a skin to change perspective and changing products according to the skin's need and W~III filled the skin with the needs I am right now. Lines, some large pores, some sensitiveness, dehydration, uneven skin tone to some dark spots.

Using W~III Skincare (especially the Night Cream and Essence) for around 3 weeks now, I can see that the skin appear healthier in terms of fading spot, smaller pores as mentioned above that made my skin appear smoother, to help in even out the skin tone. The fine lines near the eyes are definitely reducing, so does some other fine lines. The laughing lines are reducing too, and I hope it'll keep reducing so my skin appear younger and healthier.

The Essence is powerful yet so light and comfortable, the Day Cream is like a cool refreshing gel that hydrates and perfect for the day, and the Night Cream replenish the skin even more when we asleep, none of them have heavy texture, none of them is greasy, all of them are so easy to be used and show amazing result.

-*-




Thank you so much, I'll keep you updated with the W~III Skincare that I have, and continue using it until finish, stay tune, I think I'll make a video for them soon.

Vichy Idealia Lumiere

Hello lovelies,

these babies are a relatively a new items in the Vichy Singapore, a place where I bought them a few months back. Vichy itself is one of my favorite brand from France that provide beautiful skincare. I love their moisturizers, gel masks and so on.

-*-

These are some of products I have, but the stuffs that I'm reviewing in this post is only the Idealia Lumiere. The ones that I felt most interested at the moment since Idealia is a line made for 30's, which is my age right now.

It's the series that helps fighting dullness, large pores and uneven skin tone, the first signs of aging.

-*-

Apart from what I mentioned above, my skin is also dry, which is why, again, I choose Vichy Idealia since they do care for dehydration too, plus still in the heart of Vichy, they also contains mineralizing thermal water that contains necessary elements in keeping the skin stronger and in better condition.

-*-

You can get the moisturizer alone or like me, with the serum as well, since I don't think I can get over serums. They are made to marvel, lighter in texture but packed in things that I really need and essential for the skin.

-*-


All the details from how to, ingredients and what we expected from the product is listed in full information for anyone to see. So you can be sure there's no surprise, or may I say, unpleasant surprise later, just make sure you do read all the data, just in case you might have some allergies to one or some of the ingredients.

Aside from that, Vichy Idealia Lumiere comes in a lovely soft pink hue, it is hard to missed since it is probably the only series in Vichy that comes in pink. It is said that the effects of using them would create a charming rosy glow, this is really a trend among Asian with yellowish tone.

-*-


I am Asian and I do have fair yellowish tone, I don't mind my skin tone whatsoever but I do like to see how I am in rosy tone, perhaps they'll made me looks better.

Before we get to the review, let's see the details from the brand start from the moisturizer.

-*-

-*-

SENSORIALITY acclaimed by WOMEN
Translucent emulsified gel very fresh and comfortable.
It is inspired from hydration formula, really breakthrough for whitening range.

Use as a moisturizer in the day.


-*-

Amazing isn't it?! The result are seen and felt within a month, that's pretty fast for a skincare product, a drugstore brand to be exact. The formula has a rich creamy yet light texture which I can use day (and night too). I don't feel any greasy nor oily side effect, just comforts and love those hydrating agents. My skin enjoys the softening effects too, they made my skin appear more relaxed, calm and there's this lovely, in-love-like radiant glow.

Good news for healthy minded people, their product is paraben free, hypoallergenic and best of all, non comedogenic. Do you know that using bad products can gives you comedo, acne and even irritate the skin? So do use ones that are known for being safe and effective at the same time. Never go and sought products that doesn't comes with safety standards or your skin will pay for it.

As for me, Vichy is a guarantee of a high quality product made with safety and care in hand.

-*-


And Idealia Lumiere is a range that is so perfect for me right now, it have all the needed basic for a 30's like me, from the texture, brightness, anti dullness, moisture, to this amazing radiant without any guilt that they will clogged the pores nor paraben.

Adding the brilliance of the product, I use the serum as well, just before the moisturizer.

-*-
 
EFFICACY evaluated by DERMATOLOGISTS In only 1 month: -Dewy radiance +19%*
-Skin transparency + 24%*
-Reduced yellowness:94%**
-Reduced dullness 91%**
*Clinical scoring on 42 Chinese women, by dermatologist under controlled light at T0, T4weeks and T8 weeks.

TOLERANCE validated on sensitive skins Paraben-free, hypoallergenic Tested on Asian skins under dermatological supervision.

SENSORIALITY acclaimed by WOMEN Rosy, light and fluid jellified texture. Very easy to spread and quick to penetrate. Skin is immediately more even, soft and velvety. 24 hour hydration***.
***Hydration test made with a corneometer

Apply a few drops of serum in the morning and night to cleansed skin. Smooth gently from the middle of the face, in an outward direction. For maximum effect, follow with Idealia Lumiere's moisturisers.-*-



The serum is of course, lighter, runnier, and easier to be taken by the skin. So I clean my skin really well, use a toner or softening water or face mist, and this serum. It's a watery gel in texture and has a similar scent with the moisturizer, soft floral.

They both are made to be used with each other. They compliment each other, one prep the skin with abundance of ingredients that

Recharge the skin with Peony root and Vichy pH Balancing Thermal Water to energize fatigue skin for hydrated rosy glow in gel like form which is so lighter and the other in creams that seals the deals. So one works by penetrating into the skin while the other on the surface.

-*-

The result is everything you see in my skin. Soft, radiant, moist, supple and a hint of rosy glow which I find to be a nice surprise. A brightening product usually stuck on being so fair and pale, while this one is making the skin appears happy with a hint of blush.

Conclusion, definitely products that I'd recommend.

COVERMARK Skin Clear Emulsion

Hello lovelies,

this is a post for everyone that has dull skin or oily, or those who need extra care of skincare that help skin rejuvenation. It is exfoliating but in the softest way and doesn't involve flaking off nor redness.

-*-



COVERMARK Skin Clear emulsion.

A range that is dedicated for a clear skin finish, spotless, and so smooth.

-*-


Gentle skin clear emulsion. This exfoliating emulsion gently removes dead cells that cause dull, uneven skin.

  1. Gently removes dead skin cells that cause dullness and unevenness .
  2. Contains 3 dead cells softeners.
  3. Leaves skin supple and elastic while removing excessive dead cells.
  4. Helps aid the absorption of treatment formula and cream.
  5. Fragrance and colorant free.

How to use

Use after lotion in the morning and at night. taking two pumps onto palm, apply to entire face. Follow with a treatment formula.

-*-

The product comes in a soft orange bottle and a box that contain the details on the product. Everything is written on the box, pamphlet and website. I can easily find everything I need to know.

So, the thing about emulsion is, it's a product that used after serum and before moisturizer. And it was advice to use a hydrating serum and moisturizer with this product as it helps moisten the skin during the process.

-*-


The white milky fluid feels a bit tingling on my sensitive skin. I can't use it too often, more like once a week or less frequent. If you happen to have very dull (or thick) skin, you can simply use it more often.

As the product soften the dead skin, removing them will be easier, so do not use any scrub, or other exfoliating product while using Skin Clear Emulsion.

-*-


COVERMARK Skin Clear Emulsion helps easing the dark spots, acne marks and help reducing the pore sizes too. The skin will eventually become smoother, spotless and feels so fine when touched. I love how soft the skin become. The skin also appear more moist, perhaps since other skincare used ,after the dead skin being removed, penetrate easier. I don't necessarily use the emulsion with other products from COVERMARK, but I'm using it with other brands, so far none of them clashed. Just made sure I'm not using anything that also exfoliate or peel the skin, so the emulsion can have a peaceful time softening the dead skin where then the dead skin will comes off on it's own time.

-*-


Thank you COVERMARK Indonesia.

Hello lovelies,

this is Clinique, a brand that you definitely notices since they've been around quite a while and famous for taking care of our skin. Their products also known to be suitable for those with rather sensitive skin by removing and/or not adding the source of allergies, like perfume and other ingredients.

They also comes up with the idea to emphasize on the 3 step regime from cleansing-toner-moisturizer.

-*-



Along with that series of products also developed, from the brightening, hydrating, anti aging and like these the Turnaround.

-*-


The full collection comes with products such as oil, mask, serum and many more, amongst the new one is the Daytime Revitalizing Moisturizer.

-*-




They are having an event at Plaza Senayan, right in front of SOGO, it's an event to introduce the series to the customer.

-*-


I was given a chance to try on the Daytime Revitalizing Moisturizer, if there's the daytime, it does means that they have one for night time which is called Overnight Revitalizing Moisturizer.

-*-




You've seen the Golden Glow which has golden particle titbits and make the skin appear glistening.

And the one given to me is the Rosy Glow, the pink one.

-*-

The box is as usual, green and the tube is in it's signature color for the Turnaround series.

-*-


As described above, use it after the 3 skincare step, so this product is made to be used after moisturizer. You can use serum before moisturizer if you like, and then after moisturizer, add the Daytime Revitalizing Moisturizer where it add another layer of fresh hydration with a hint of color, one is rosy and the other is golden.

Do read on the details provided on the packaging, it is suffice. Inside, there's a pamphlet as well to make you understand more.

-*-

You can learn more about your skin type number by coming to any Clinique counter and have the beauty specialist check on your skin, this means consulting.

-*-


Let's see what it does to my skin, shall we?!

-*-


At first sight, it may look similar to the Golden Glow, but when I blend it a bit, the rosy pink starts to glow beautifully.

-*-

Notices the pinkish hue?

-*-


And the product just blends naturally on the skin, leaving a faint rosy glow. So for you who are afraid of getting a cooked lobster hue, no worries, it's just a hint of the shade that will appears on the skin.

-*-

Like you are naturally have great skin to begin with.

-*-

The product feels comfortable on the skin. Hydrating in a fresh way possible and lightweight. This is actually one of the dream texture of a moisturizer could be.

-*-

And then when I applied makeup, the base also become so soft and slippery enough for a liquid foundation, so I can use less product.

-*-


And it look great outdoors too.

-*-


And in the afternoon as well when the sun going to set.

-*-



(above is me using the same product after 6 hours)

The skin looks amazing and still very much comfortable. The Daytime Revitalizing Moisturizer is perfect truly for all skin type thanks to the light texture and formula that's simply hydrating with a hint of shade that you could pick from rosy like mine or golden glow.

Thank you Clinique Indonesia.
