Gucci Bloom Eau De Parfum

Hello lovelies,

it's been a while I've reviewed a fragrance. Let's face it, nowadays perfume is no longer own by brands, but locals too, and to those organic nature thingy with pure essential oils company. I love perfume, I think it's always a must having one or two (or in my case, all iconic brand) of your favorite scent on each seasons and occasion.

Perfume is something that seals us in, and it's like our outer wear.

What makes a perfume special is the ingredients, brilliant concoction, and quality of each scent. A genius perfumer will make a perfume that have a perfect synergy and flow between each notes, so when the perfume is used on a long term, it creates a balance and harmony with one's natural scent. So yes, one perfume can smell a bit (to a lot) different from another.

For me personally, floral to fruity notes is always a favorite, like it's aromatically airy and easy to be used. Woody is a bit difficult and I never like oriental, so that's why, Gucci Bloom is like a natural thing for me and like a simple choice to be made.

Debuting the first fragrance developed wholly under Alessandro Michele’s creative vision: a scent designed to celebrate the authenticity, vitality and diversity of women—flourishing in a natural, expressive and individual way. Blended by master perfumer Alberto Morillas under the direction of the House’s Creative Director, Gucci Bloom is created to unfold like its name, capturing the rich scent of a thriving garden filled with an abundance of flowers. Tuberose and jasmine combine with Rangoon Creeper—a unique flower discovered in South India that is being used for the first time in perfumery to create a rich fragrance that transports the wearer to an imaginary garden. The scent is presented in a lacquered bottle, reminiscent of porcelain, in a vintage powder pink shade with a Gucci label appliqué. #InBloom

• Natural tuberose harvested from India
• Jasmine bud extract, obtained through an exclusive method of co-extraction to impart a fresh green and petal scent on the skin
• Rangoon Creeper, embodying the fragrance’s concept and name, the slightly powdery floral scent is captured as the flower blooms from white and gradually darkens to pink, then red

I bought the one in 50 ml, and they have one in 100 ml and 150 ml too. Price wise it is always cheaper purchasing the 150 ml but since I haven't tried their tester, I think I want to play it safe and bought the 50 ml.

There's Tiffany on the market too, with others that celebrate Spring, but somehow, I lured into Gucci Bloom since oh just look at the advertisement.

It speaks for itself and I'm not the kind of person that loves print ad especially perfume since it can be misleading (well a lot of) and even the TVC too, like come on, people climbing up stairs, or exploitation of women, that doesn't describe anything, while this, oh THIS, it said it all.

-*-



Dakota is clearly there, her expression, her outfit, the lady beside her and all the spring flowers surrounding them, and the perfume smell just like everything I've seen in their ad. It's exactly as it is. And I love every bits of it.

There's a slight warmth, jasmine is really noticeable and loving it to the max, and the hint of powdery scent which made the perfume not so sweet but beautiful. It's so gorgeous and understandable, it's completely a scent that I can understand and it doesn't have that spiky weirdness that a lot of perfume have if they want to attract the young.

Overall, a great spring floral perfume that last a really long time (thanks to the EDP formula and concoction), flowery but not girly, come on, like those girls on the ad look girly, they look content, rich and smart.

It's the perfume that I think, a must have for just about everyone ehm ladies

Faith In Face Truly Waterly Cleansing Water

Hello lovelies,

while traveling in Bangkok, I happen to purchase another micellar water, and yes, I could not go back to the time where I didn't use micellar water, it's like my life would never be the same again. They cleanse everything left behind by other cleanser, and foaming facial wash was actually the worst of its kind. Cleansing oil is great, but let's face it, some leave an oily residue that we, in Indonesia, can't even bear with the humidity and heat. So adding oils is like slippery glow we never opt too.

So micellar water basically, are used with a good cotton pad (don't get those hard and bleached ones) takes away everything that doesn't belong to our skin, either daily debris, to makeup, or leftover cleanser that stuck on our skin.

-*-

Faith in Face is rather a new brand from Korea that also getting attention lately for the breakthrough products and this cleanser is one of them.

Multi-function, hypoallergenic, gentle yet effective cleansing water that leaves your skin clean, fresh & moisturized!
-*-



Looks promising right?! It even claims to do wonders to your skin, baby mild, and even more moisturizing than water, it's crazy yet after trying it, it is believable. Like I even convert to make this one my number one micellar water cleanser that beats those with high prices.

Btw, I got mine in Watson Bangkok with a sale where I get one more for just 2 baht. That's an irresistible deal heehee.

-*-

Apart from the deal and wonders on the skin where it's moisturize better than water, plus baby mild, but you'll witness that even thou' it is super mild on my sensitive and dry skin, it is super strong in beating many brands in terms of removing super waterproof makeup.

-*-

With a single wipe of a moist cotton pad (with the cleansing water) the super duper really hard to remove (without oil) matte lip liquid and waterproof eyeshadow, are gone. Like without any force whatsoever and the skin felt afterwards was undoubtedly soft and smooth. I love it.

-*-

The non scented, no fuss and no frill formula works like a charm and doesn't create problems on my skin. It removes hard core makeup like they were never there. I enjoy using it as much as the after effect. Perfect for anytime and skin the skin is clean thoroughly, skincare routine can easily penetrate and does it's magic.

Definitely recommended.

MakeOver Micellar Water

Hi lovelies,

this is a review for MakeOver Micellar Water, and yes, MakeOver also launch their own micellar water, like we need more option heehee. But, don't get me wrong, their actually really good and able to take away makeup too, so most micellar water are created as a double or the last cleanser, hence it picks up the stuff on the pores, not really for waterproof makeup, but MakeOver develop one as an all in one cleanser.

-*-

Skipping cleansing oil, foaming facial wash, just use it on a dirty skin, dirty as in full makeup with thickest foundation, concealer, hard core waterproof lippies, mascara, eyeliner and anything you consider taking it to eternity.

Simply prepare the micellar water solution by damping a cotton pad with it and gently wipe the skin.

-*-

You can see on the image below, some waterproof makeup can easily be taken away with a single swipe. Only the waterproof mascara, given the condition, sometime waterproof mascara also gets stuck on our lashes since it's not easy to go through lashes one by one. We need to use an eyelash brush dipped in a cleanser to really clean them, or use a cotton pad soaked with micellar water like this and let it stay for a while on the lashes while keeping our eyes closed. A minute should do and the makeup particles are breaking, and the cotton pad can take the reside and cleans everything.

-*-

I do need to wipe my skin several times by changing the moist (with micellar water) cotton pad on the skin until the area becomes really clean and there's nothing can be captured by the cotton pad. So yes, using it on a face also the same, keep repeating the process until the moist cotton pad becomes clean, which means the skin has no more makeup.

-*-

Here's some details from http://www.makeoverforall.com

One step cleansing solution with triple action formula, to cleanse all makeup, hydrate, and refresh, leaving your skin feeling revitalized and soothed.

Lakmé Absolute Lip Pout Matte Masaba Lips

Hello lovelies,

like Indonesia has been taken by a storm, a Lakme storm that is. They are bombarding us with new products almost every month and with the hype, trend and delight-ness in their packaging and concept of the whole ambiance.

Their recent event in Senayan City atrium deserves a call, like a wakeup call for other brand to have fun and enjoy beauties as these babies are made for pleasure.

-*-

Curated by the very talented designer - Masaba, each lip crayon has a quirky print exclusively designed by her, that spells 90’s nostalgia. This is a limited edition collection of matte lip colors from the Lip Pout range that you cannot resist! It’s time to have some fun and indulge in these 10 vibrant shades inspired by the candies of the 90’s.

Step 1: Start applying from the centre of your upper lip. Step 2: Work from the centre towards the outer edges of your lip, following the contours of your mouth. Step 3: Glide across the entire bottom lip.

Rp. 140.000 each.

-*-

Here are the 5 available shades where it started with something red, earthy, bright, deeply serious and then fun for being a baby pink.

The packaging is like candies, and the as simple as a lip crayon where it just simply applied and sealed. The matte finish is surreal, and must be loved by those who are pass 1990.

-*-

Fret not, they are still enjoyable for just about anyone, but I know for sure, my mom will love me even more if I gave here all of them, after all, I'm her favorite child.... (and my siblings will scream in disbelief).

-*-



Aside from the family drama, here are the products in each of the colorful shade.

-*-

They all are matte and pretty smooth, easy to be applied, even thou' not rub proof nor completely resistant, but it has the capability of staying as it was quite good in terms of pigment and staying power as long as nothing touching the lips.

-*-

The coverage ability is pleasantly good and satisfying too as it made the lips appear so smooth and irresistible. The product comes in berry like scent that wonderful and never overpowering.

-*-

It may need several application to coat the lips evenly and without fail securing every inches and side, but it worth it, since the product is build-able each layer without making them look bumpy.

-*-

They work best on a clean lips, but you may apply a lip base before a much more smoother experience.

-*-

For sure, one of the shade would be your favorite, get yours at Lakme official stores or online.

Thank you lovelies.

WangSkin Lip Tattoo

Hello lovelies,

finally, after a long hard weeks of hubby going to the hospital and getting a pretty rare infection, we can finally breath easier, the fight is not over yet, but we're getting lights here, thank God! And for now, I can go back doing the thing I love the most, reviewing beauty products as much as enjoying using them.

This is a goody I received from Charis, btw did you know that I recently become one of Charis since they offer many wonderful products from Korea and I can get discounts for my readers, simply look into https://hicharis.net/carnellin where I'll share with you my personal favorite.

-*-

WangSkin launch tattoos for lip and eyebrows, in this post, I'll review their Lip Tattoo in Red. There's orange and pink too in their series. It said that they contain Royal Jelly, Cherry, Apple, and Pomegranate extracts.

The color is so vivid and the scent is unbelievably fruity. Like it was so juicy and berry-licious.

-*-

The formula feels a bit sticky, kinda like a peel off mask where it was like a runny gel at first and then dries up. We can easily pulled the dried gel and during waiting time, do be careful since it will stain whatever it touches from clothes, to hand and just about everything. It doesn't last forever but on the clothes you kinda have to wash it a few times.

-*-

I even like the way it look on my lips before drying and peeling off heehee. It's so seductively sexy.

After around 5-10 minutes, pulling it off is super easy, just move your lips around and it'll easily took off without like pulling your skin to it's extend. So in terms of drying and peeling is a pleasure. However, since it helps the dead skin to be removed too, on parts where the dead skin took off, so does the stain, perhaps do lightly exfoliate your lips before using the Lip tattoo, to ensure a smooth surface and even application.

-*-

After I clean them from all the dried gel, there's some part where the tint are darker, I gently brush them using a soft brush and the result is as seen as below. This is the part where they last longer.

If I'm not careful, I look like someone who's not feeling well, or panas dalam in Bahasa Indonesia heehee, so the lips appear like someone whose overheated.

-*-

Overall,

It's a fun product to be used, like a tint but with effort of putting it on, waiting for it to be dry and peeling it off. They do last longer in terms of longevity compared to most lip tint, so it's a win win situation for those who wants a lips that look reddish longer. I wont say the whole day since after I eat some oily food, they'll start to fade. But stands to swimming 'thou.

Thank you WangSkin and Charis for the opportunity trying your product and don't forget to check out my shop to enjoy special price around 40% off at https://hicharis.net/carnellin/7m9

Betadine has just launch a new series for feminine care. Adding a new dimension and love to hygiene with comfort.

Being a busy woman myself, with kids, blogging, events and traveling, my lifestyle is surely affected. I've spend hours on the street and outside my home, using public restrooms and of course, the standard could be differ.

So everything in the cubicle could be filled with germs thanks to them.

How can we keep our ladies part clean and away from germs or other things that cause pain, discomfort, or even infection? Betadine might have some answer for you.

BETADINE® Meluncurkan BETADINE™ Feminine Wash dan Wipes

Pembersih Kewanitaan Sehari-Hari dengan Prebiotik dan Formula Alami TRI-CARE™ Bantu Pertumbuhan Bakteri Baik dan Jaga Keseimbangan pH Alami Area Kewanitaan 

Jakarta, 24 April 2018 – Area kewanitaan merupakan bagian yang sensitif, intim, dan vital bagi seorang wanita. Maka, kebersihan area kewanitaan merupakan hal penting untuk diperhatikan. Kebersihan area kewanitaan yang tidak baik dapat memicu ketidakseimbangan pH pada area kewanitaan dan menyebabkan infeksi. Infeksi pada area kewanitaan yang berulang dapat menyebabkan infeksi panggul, infeksi saluran kencing, infertilitas, kerusakan sistem imun tubuh, sampai infeksi menyeluruh (sepsis). Faktanya, 7 dari 10 wanita pernah mengalami keputihan yang disebabkan oleh area kewanitaan yang tidak terjaga kebersihannya  dan 5% mengalami infeksi berulang. BETADINE®, brand terpercaya dalam pencegahan dan pengobatan infeksi, melengkapi rangkaian feminine care dengan memperkenalkan BETADINE™ Feminine Wash, produk pembersih khusus kewanitaan sehari-hari.

dr. Mery Sulastri, Educator & Trainer Mundipharma Indonesia menjelaskan, ”Area kewanitaan memiliki tingkat pH alami di angka 3,8 – 4,2. Keseimbangan pH alami perlu dijaga agar bakteri baik atau lactobacillus di area kewanitaan tetap mendominasi.  Bakteri baik ini bisa mencegah area kewanitaan dari berbagai gejala infeksi seperti gatal, bau, dan keputihan berlebih.  Salah satu senyawa yang mampu membantu pertumbuhan bakteri baik di area kewanitaan adalah prebiotik. Prebiotik bisa berfungsi sebagai makanan atau nutrisi bagi perkembangan bakteri baik di area kewanitaan.  Dengan demikian, prebiotik ini bisa tetap menjaga tingkat pH normal di area kewanitaan.“

Prebiotik bisa berfungsi sebagai makanan atau nutrisi bagi perkembangan bakteri baik di area kewanitaan.  Dengan demikian, prebiotik ini bisa tetap menjaga tingkat pH normal di area kewanitaan.“

dr. Mery menambahkan, “Untuk menjaga keseimbangan pH dan flora normal, area kewanitaan perlu dibersihkan setiap hari. Pilihan pembersih yang baik untuk area kewanitaan adalah yang memiliki pH yang sesuai dengan pH alami area kewanitaan.  Salah satu kekeliruan yang sering terjadi dalam membersihkan area kewanitaan adalah dengan menggunakan body wash atau sabun badan. Penggunaan sabun badan kurang disarankan karena pH yang terkandung pada sabun badan berada di angka 9 – 10 dan kurang ideal untuk membersihkan area kewanitaan yang memiliki pH lebih asam. Membersihkan area kewanitaan dengan sabun badan dapat menyebabkan kekeringan pada kulit dan berpotensi menjadi peradangan (vulvar dermatosis) yang bisa mengganggu tingkat pH alami dan flora normal di area kewanitaan. ”

Mundipharma melalui produk BETADINE® berkomitmen untuk memberikan perawatan secara menyeluruh melalui produk-produk yang berguna untuk mencegah dan mengatasi infeksi, salah satunya kesehatan area kewanitaan.

Adi Prabowo, Marketing and Innovation Regional Mundipharma (Asia Pacific, Latin America, Africa, Middle East) mengatakan, “BETADINE® sudah memiliki BETADINE® Feminine Hygiene, yaitu antiseptik untuk mengatasi kuman disaat ada risiko infeksi, seperti pada saat menstruasi. Kini BETADINE® berinovasi dengan mengeluarkan BETADINE™ Feminine Wash sebagai pembersih kewanitaan sehari-hari. Inovasi terbaru dari BETADINE® ini menjawab seluruh kekhawatiran perempuan dalam membersihkan area kewanitaan sehari-hari. BETADINE™ Feminine Wash memiliki kandungan PREBIOTIK dan formula alami TRI-CARE™ yang membantu pertumbuhan bakteri baik serta menjaga keseimbangan pH alami area kewanitaan.”

Prebiotik dalam BETADINE™ Feminine Wash adalah makanan untuk bakteri baik yang dapat meningkatkan kualitas dan pertumbuhan bakteri baik di area kewanitaan. Sedangkan formula alami TRI-CARE™ terdiri dari Immortelle yang dikenal sebagai bunga abadi, memiliki sifat antimikroba dan antioksidan alami sehingga memberi kelembutan dan mengurangi iritasi pada kulit; Sensiva™, zat aktif yang mampu mengurangi gatal dan kemerahan pada kulit; dan Citrofol™, bahan alami untuk menetralisir bau tak sedap.

BETADINE® menyadari bahwa karakteristik setiap wanita berbeda-beda. Maka, BETADINE™ Feminine Wash hadir dalam 4 varian yang disesuaikan dengan kebutuhan. Varian pertama merupakan Gentle Protection yang memberikan perlindungan antioksidan dari bunga Immortelle dan cocok untuk penggunaan di hari-hari normal. Immortelle, yang dikenal sebagai bunga abadi yang memiliki khasiat antimikroba dan merupakan antioksidan alami yang memberi kelembutan dan mengurangi iritasi pada kulit. Fresh and Active dengan tambahan Lemon Verbena untuk sensasi kesegaran lebih lama, cocok digunakan saat berolahraga atau aktivitas yang banyak menimbulkan keringat. Odour Control, dengan ekstrak alami Witch Hazel untuk perlindungan lebih dari bau tak sedap, cocok digunakan saat beraktivitas panjang (pagi sampai malam), juga untuk aktifitas yang berkeringat. Serta, Moisturising dengan ekstrak Calendula Oil untuk kelembapan optimal pada kulit kering di area kewanitaan yang cocok digunakan untuk kondisi kering di area kewanitaan, setelah melahirkan, ataupun menopause.

-*-

Adi Prabowo menambahkan, “BETADINE™ Feminine Wash tersedia dalam bentuk busa, cairan, dan tisu pembersih kewanitaan. Cara penggunaannya pun sangat mudah. Untuk BETADINE™ Feminine Wash Foam dan BETADINE™ Feminine Wash Liquid, tuangkan produk ke tangan yang sudah lembab, dan basuhkan pada area kewanitaan dari depan ke belakang, bilas dengan air bersih, dan keringkan. Untuk BETADINE™ Feminine Wipes Gentle Protection, langsung dapat diusapkan ke area kewanitaan dan 100% biodegradable sehingga dapat di-flush.”

Saat ini, BETADINE™ Feminine Wash sudah tersedia di minimarket/supermarket/apotek terdekat dengan harga sekitar Rp 45.000 untuk BETADINE™ Feminine Wash Foam 100 ml, Rp 25.000 untuk BETADINE™ Feminine Wash Liquid 50 ml, dan Rp 12.000 untuk BETADINE™ Feminine Wipes Gentle Protection isi 10 lembar.

-*-

All the information shared during the event is full packed, to the point and necessary, all of them. Health and cleanliness in general to our private part. Where disease could go all the way up and even the internal organs, so please do take care your intimate part every day.

These products are great, smells really good, soft, and gentle to be used, but we need to keep in mind that they are made to be used properly. Clean the private area from the front to the back, rinse it well, gently dab them dry and use a good material panties.

We live in Jakarta where it is humid and the heat could be unbearable at times still, keeping them freshly clean becoming more possible thanks to Betadine Feminine Wash and Wipes with all their variants according to our needs.

The self foaming container is easy to be used and create abundant foam, made the feminine area feels clean and still soft, it's not at all drying. The wipes is essential for on the go, never be worry of the dirty tissue filled with germs inside the public restroom anymore and the liquid soap is small enough for when going for a trip and last for weeks.

They have though everything with the variant too, one that gentle for anyone and everyday, one for dry skin, one for very active lifestyle, and one for odor control. Which one is your pick? Mine would be Gentle Protection for everyday and perhaps Odour Control during menstruation.

Using Oxone Cast Iron I think both my mom and my mother in law would be so happy since it was deep and wide. Either for soup, pan for deep frying or everyday stir fry, the colorful cast iron can always cheer us up. Just looking at their colors brighten the mood and set the tone to bright in the kitchen room.

Thank you so much Oxone and C Channel for having me at the event and made me want to cook again heehee. The Cast Iron Series looks so pretty and I love how the chef put the details on how the product could make the food stays warm longer and better too. With strong and safety ahead, I can cook without worry.

Heavenly Blush Greek Yogurt

Hello lovelies,

if I was asked about my passion, that would be traveling, specifically to beautiful places around the world that offers better condition from our land. Cleaner, nicer, safer and for sure everything is well planned and well organized. They made me want to be better and learn a thing or two about efficiency while thriving to be the best version of myself.

-*-

During traveling, I purchase a lot of things like beauty products and try new delicacies too. From drinks, 5 star food to street snacks, they are famous for reasons too. I've visited Kansai area in Japan and eat a lot of Takoyaki, high fat food like in Horai 551, or something that cooling and refreshing like vanilla blue ice cream.

-*-

Or like during my visit in Thailand, exotic food that more often spicy. All of these could make an imbalance effect to my digestion system, hence bringing a supplements, medicine or perhaps something that easier and friendlier, yogurt.

-*-

Yogurt itself is known for their feature of naturally healthy. Ancient history goes back to 6000 BC of the Neolithic peoples of Central Asia when details of yogurt was first discovered. In India, yogurt are famous, a lot of their dishes adding yogurt adding nutritional value and benefit to everyday meal. And of course, we can never forget about the Greek.

For millennia, making yogurt was the only known safe method for preserving milk, other than drying it. Yogurt was well known in the Greek and Roman empires, and the Greeks were the first to mention it in written references in 100 BC.

Greek Yogurt itself is a strained, hence it made them thicker, appear fuller and richer.

-*-

Regarding the taste, it was actually quite bland and even a bit sour or savory. This may not be suitable for just about everyone, perhaps that's why Heavenly Blush Greek Yogurt is a sweeter and taste more welcoming for us. It's not as sweet as desserts hence we can have it anytime or on the go, before or after meal and even on empty stomach.

-*-

This Greek Yogurt is filled with more protein, low in carbohydrate, low in sugar, soft in texture, help keeping the 'full' feeling and perfect for diet without risking the health, and it's the first ready to drink Greek Yogurt in South Asia with it's richness, thickness and less water too.

-*-

The packaging is chubby, beautiful in design as the white and the vibrant blue like in Greek. It's so iconic and eye catching, easy to be find in the supermarket.

-*-

A picture means a thousand words, look at the image below, the consistency, softness, and the richness of the thick yogurt. They are not just taste good but look good too. It's appetizing.

Aside from being easy to drink and consume with any fruits or other kinds of food, the yogurt also suitable for beauty as a mask, hair mask or face mask, or even body mask as it soften the skin like no other.

Simply apply on a dry skin or dry hair, wait around 30 minutes and take a shower as usual. Appreciate the soft and delicate skin afterwards where nutrition take part.

-*-

What do you think? Does this enjoyable, healthy, and delicious drink deserve a spot in your life? I think so, my family and I think so.



Thank you C Chanel for the information regarding Heavenly Blush Greek Yogurt, and now there's a competition too where you can win a trip to Greek, do find out more here:

ECLA Gold and Collastin Beauty

Hello lovelies,

around a week ago, I was invited to an event in Grand Indonesia. Located in Greyhound Cafe, the venue was booked by one of a skincare brand that also carries many other products like healthcare alongside of face care.

In the event there's some other products too like QV (a series of body wash, lotion and cream) that was the answer to sensitive skin. Without scent and helps the skin to heal from dryness.

-*-

And of course, on the table are the serums, one packed with 10% vitamin C and the other made for aging skin.

-*-

A lot of bloggers came that day, we all listening to the talk by Sales Marketing Manager OTC : Ibu Elvi, Dokter Sugianto, dan Product Manager: Mba Annis.

They share how important it is for anyone to take good care of their skin. Giving the skin a proper routine and supplements too.

Here are some of the details provided by

Now, let's see ECLA Gold from up close.

The product comes in pearly white pump bottle. The details is available on the box and I love how simple yet sophisticated the bottle is. The pump assured me of its hygienic feature and practicality.

-*-

What is the serum look like? It's clear and looks like a runny gel. There's a faint floral like scent and on the skin, it felt so good and easy to be used. I've been using for quite some time now (more than a week) and I enjoy using it as it made the skin feels tighter.

So far, there's no allergic reaction or redness or any discomfort, the product is wonderful and suitable for my dry and sensitive skin. And I can pair it up with my regular toner and moisturizer.

How about ECLA C Lite?

With 10% Vitamin C, the serum help to heal the skin, as the potent vitamin C induce the collagen to react, the scar, acne marks, to dark spots are getting treated. When the skin is hurt, either from dryness or wound, they'll eventually heal and closing up. But the skin need more collagen to secure the are and heals properly so the skin become as smooth as before.

The below image is different from ECLA Gold but they both have similar texture, color (which is clear) and runny-ness.

The product also easily taken by the skin, it's comfortable and not sticky, both of the serum is pleasant. While ECLA Gold have firming effect, made the skin more moist, ECLA C Lite is lighter, those with oily skin could enjoy this serum more.

But I think, both of the serum works well on any skin type since the serums tolerate the skin really well, or the skin able to tolerate the serums well. Like they are made to pamper the skin.

Aside from the serums, there are photos of more products as seen all over my post, like QV (an Australian made brand) that promises better skin condition.

QV Body is a range of cleansers and moisturisers that won’t irritate and dry out skin or strip away the skin’s natural protective oils. Free from soap, fragrance and common irritants, QV Body products help protect, moisturise and care for the skin from head to toe.
