Clinelle PureSwiss Hydracalm


Hello lovelies,

I could not belief I haven't made a blog post for these babies, I've been using it for more than a month now, I guess nowadays making video is much more fun. Nevertheless, there's things that only a blog post can do, explain in words with so many little details possible. Be prepare to see ambush of ingredients and everything in between.

-*-



There's three products I happen to have from the PureSwiss collection, the thermal spring water spray, lotion and milky cleanser.

Here's the details for the spray.

A soothing Virgin Spring Water originated from Switzerland’s that gives instant hydration to the skin. With exceptionally high restorative properties, sulfur compound to soothe and repair damaged skin.
BENEFITS:
  • REPAIR : Sulfur repair skin & speed up restorative effect
  • REFINE : Thermal Spring Water hydrates skin instantly
  • RESHIELD : Selenium shield skin from free radical damage

And the spray is super fine, easy to be used, sprayed everything evenly and really help hydrating the skin with every part of the body and hair too. So the spray literally hydrate every part of us in touch. I love the fine spray and it does have a bit of a sting for the first user, I read it on some reviews too and it does goes away after a few days, like either the skin getting used to it or I don't know, it just do.

I'm usually using the spray to prep the skin after cleansing, before skincare, before mask, before makeup, after makeup, whenever I need a humidity, before bed, for the kids and adult alike, it's just for everything, I love using it for any reason possible.

-*-



And this is their ,

PureSWISS Hydracalm Caring Milk Cleanser. A unique product that acts as a cleanser but without the problems usually created by cleanser, neat right?!

It comes in a tube, hooray for hygiene point. Just twist the cap open and squeeze the milky formula out from the container on a clean hand (always clean your face using clean fingers and hand all over please, we don't want to transfer any germs) and massage the skin gently, on a dry skin, where all the makeup are, and it will clean them gently but on some part, a gently rub using cotton pad also helps removing the makeup.

A rinse off sulfate-free milk cleanser that effectively removes impurities while maintaining skin moisture levels. It helps to calm the sensitized skin caused by environmental aggression. Skin feels clean, moisturized & soft.
BENEFITS:
  • 3x hydracalm action
  • *Lock in moisture 72 hrs
  • Visible results in 3 days
  • Natural ingredients, non harmful to skin
  • Hydrates every level of skin. From top, middle to bottom
Most mass produce, budget friendly cleanser that said to be foaming product contain sulfate that actually will irritate the skin in the long run or for sensitive skin, from the first usage. Now, this cleanser actually said to calm sensitized skin caused by environmental aggression, that's really good, right?! Not just it cleans the skin but calming too.

-*-




Now, does it really cleans the skin? Many gentle and kind products doesn't really works in cleansing the skin thoroughly, like those hard core waterproof makeup? They stick like glue and harden too.

I was doubt, like really doubting the ability to clean it really well, like perhaps they'll still something that sticks on the surface.

So I just apply on the surface, let it sit for a 10 seconds or so, like given them a chance to break some particles. Before massaging the skin to help easing everything.

-*-



And I witness something that I don't think possible, cleans all the waterproof makeup beautifully. Like all the matte lip cream, eyeliner, mascara, and all that thick foundation can be lift up effortlessly. I do need a help from cotton pad to help with the skin, and rinsing it off is needed too, since after all it is a rinse off product, so do rinse everything with water before proceeding with foaming facial wash (that is safe from sulfate) to clean any residue or help with double cleansing.

    The clear thick watery that almost look like a gel, is transparent and really hydrating the skin. I was thinking whether I need a serum or not after using the lotion. It's really fulfilling, my skin like the sensation of hydration it brings, it is light and comfortable. Using a cream or serum first before cream wont be a problem, I'm using a lifting serum and cream afterwards since it's moisturizing enough from the first step. And after using the lotion, the skin is supple and well off than before.

    So, do I recommend the products? Yes, for dry skin or everyone who want to start using skincare and don't know which one to start, this is the best variant for everyone.

Alovivi and Purevivi Launch in Jakarta

Hello lovelies,

last weekend, Suika Beauty invited me to an event that announce the coming of Alovivi and Purevivi in Jakarta. These two brands are from Japan (figured from the name, right?!), hence I'm excited to see whether I know them or not, or at least get to know them better.

Alovivi itself related to aloe vera as their main ingredient. They have tons of products in the Alovivi and a few from Purevivi, Purevivi is more to the cleansing items.

The event is held in Gandaria area and begins with a presentation by the representatives from Japan.

-*-




Since all the ladies are from Japan, a translator is needed during the presentation. The lady in black is the translator and the rest are from Japan introducing the products. How to use them, what is the function and what are the benefits in using the products. I'll share with you one by one on the post below.

-*-


Most of the products are put on the table for every guests to try. There's skin balm (which is a trend in Japan right now, the beauty stores are filled with skin balm nowadays), moisturizing water, cleansing water, cleansing wipes, gel, lipstick and eyeliner too.

They all look so pretty, I love Japanese products since the design is so clean, simple, yet effective in details.

-*-

This are some of the details I find on their website (excuse the google translate) for the balm in orange.

Alovivi mandarin orange balm

Although it is moist, it does not get sticky.
A new type appears in Balm!

~ Hand, face, body! Moisturizing skin balm that contains whole-body citrus ceramide * 2 & vitamin C derivative * 3
Product features              :               Nonparaben
Product type      :               Cosmetic oil
Use applications               :               Skin Care · Moisturizing


The texture is really like a balm and the scent is so refreshingly citrus. Anyone who love orange will enjoy smelling it every now and then.

The scent may last for around an hour but the balm is still there layering the skin with moisturizer. The feeling could be a bit sticky when used too much. I advise using it on a damp skin.

-*-


The next one I tried on the spot is their lipstick, since it was new, sealed and haven't been used, I can put it on my lips directly. The color is red and a bit sheer, a typical Japanese lippies, they love sheer lipstick. But we can continue layering it for a bolder look, still, the trend is different from the west.

We (Asian) prefer to have our skin conditioned to be nourished and well taken care off so we don't need to use too much makeup, that's why skincare is so important. One of the product, that I think is one of the highlight, is their gel.

-*-



Alovivi VC all-in-one gel

Bright impression ※ ♪ on glossy skin of 1 ♪ all-in-one gel

Dryness / dullness ※ 1 · For rough skin measures.
Vitamin C derivative * · Super fruit * 1 · Squalane formulation
Product features              :               No coloration * , mineral oil, paraben free, synthetic fragrance not used
Product type      :               Gel cream
Use applications               :               Skin Care · Moisturizing

Aside from the Skin Balm, all in one gel also a huge hits, even on department stores that sells souvenirs are these all in one gel. I happen to bought a few from Japan during my recent trips. In Hokkaido I see many skin balm where in Osaka or Kansai area, I see many all in one gel. These gels are famous during summer as it cools the skin too with light moisturizing effect, suitable for humid weather.

-*-



And there's mask too, I'll review it soon since it is one of the products given in the goody bag. Aside from the products to bring home, we can purchase some of them on the spot too. I bought their number 1 cleanser from Purevivi that won Cosme award. An award that get many attention in Japan since it is real and based on customers review.

-*-



That's it for now, thank you so much for having me, I'll share the reviews soon and don't forget to see me on my instagram account @Carnellin, I've shared my experience during the event as well as instastories.

You can purchase Alovivi and Purevivi in Shopee or Tokopedia.

See you there!
