Nivea UV Extra Whitening Serum and Intensive Moisture Serum

Hi everybody,

I'm here with Nivea Indonesia. Recently they've launch new products from the body series. Instead of plain regular lotion, the name body serum comes up, why?


dr. Hanny Nilasari, SpKK selaku staf pengajar Ilmu Kesehatan Kulit dan Kelamin FKUI-RSCM menyatakan, “Serum merupakan bahan tambahan dalam formulasi perawatan kulit dan dapat terserap lebih cepat dan dapat berpenetrasi hingga ke lapisan kulit yang lebih dalam. Seperti produk perawatan kulit lainnya, serum dapat bekerja sebagai anti-aging, dan membantu mencerahkan kulit. Kelebihan serum, kandungan bahan aktifnya cukup tinggi, sehingga penggunaan serum
akan menunjukkan hasil dalam waktu yang lebih singkat dibandingkan dengan pelembab biasa atau produk perawatan kulit lainnya.”

In the lovely box, there's two products, a charm bracelet, CD, booklet and agenda.

I'm so interested with the body serum since this is my first time trying on Nivea's Body Serum. For Nivea's fan for more than 20 years, especially the body and lips product, I would like to keep myself in front with their latest item on the market.

The two new products is made to help brighten up the skin tone, one for the dry skin and one for the very dry skin. Please do watch my video here:





What do you think about that? Are you interested to try them on? Here's some more facts I want to share with you.

Clearly if you're an outdoor person and very active, sun protection is highly recommended for daily maintenance. Keep the skin hydrated and sun protected is crucial.

It's not just for beauty reasons like keeping the skin fair, but kept them healthy. A healthy skin can work better as our natural barrier to the environment. Healthier skin also more elastic so they doesn't get hurt easily and looks glowing with natural radiant too. Nivea Body Serum gives me option to stays active outdoor and indoor.

Indoor? Yes, all of us who stuck indoor either for classes or our jobs demands us to, also get sun rays from the windows. I've done a test where I sit in a car on the left side. The left part of my body tend to be dryer even thou the sun haven't touched the skin directly, while the right part is moister since there's zero sun rays, direct nor indirect. So even thou we're not outdoor, anywhere the sun touches us (direct or indirect) our skin still 'suffer' the consequences.

Of course, I'm not denying the benefits of the sun (Vit D), but around 15 minutes a day is consider adequate. That's why we need SPF on our skin daily to prolong that 15 minutes.

Look at that with just Rp.30.000 per 200 ml, I think Nivea is quite generous, especially for a cheapskate (like me) heehee I thought the product will at least cost Rp 50.000, it's not, hooray!

Either UV Extra Whitening Serum or Intensive Moisture Serum, your call ^^ I think both serum is light enough, smells good (original or fruity), doesn't give my skin any white cast, oily nor greasy effect, but just the right amount of moisture, low price, comfortable on the skin and unisex too.

To ensure the optimal benefit, just be sure to use them every day and like any other product with SPF, clean the skin thoroughly after each usage.


Thank you.

Dermatix Ultra Scar Reduction Advanced Silicone Gel

Hello there!

About a month ago, I went through a procedure, kinda like a caesarian surgery and as most of any other surgery, it leaves mark on the skin. Yes, it is painful alright, to experience it and see the mark, yikes!



Looking down at the booboo, which of course I wont show it off here, I want the skin to be back as it used to. So the doctor gave me a product that said help remove or reduce the scar. Dermatix Ultra Scar Reduction Advanced Silicone Gel, hmm, scar reduction? So, it is definitely reducing and not completely erased the scar.

The clear gel feels easy on the skin and so far I haven't experience ANY discomfort while using it. I always put it on a clean skin and put a thin layer of it on top of the closed wound. It is not recommended to be put on top of open wound ya, so please do be careful on this and read the instruction given on the leaflet.

The gel easily create a thin film covering the scar on the skin and slowly but sure help the scar to diminish. At first when the scar is new, there's a bit swollen and the skin appears darker, after a month the swelling reduced by far and the skin appears lighter too in terms of shade. I was advice to use the product as soon as the wound is dry and the scar is new. Old scar will take longer time to heal than the new one.

I've used the product for a month now and ... it does help reducing and not 100% eliminating the scar. It's still one month and I think there's half of tube left which is enough for one more month.

Will I keep using it? Yes, since the product show a progressive result.

My tips: Consult your doctor when using it and help make sure the booboo are closed tightly before using Dermatix Ultra Scar Reduction Advanced Silicone Gel.

May be used on facial skin as well.

Dewi Sri Spa Peach Delima Body Foam

Hi ladies,

who loves spa? I do!!!



I raise both hands and feet (if I could) haha! It's like pampering time is here! Unfortunately, not all of us has the luxury to spend time (and money) at the spa. So, I try to create the spa at my home, using scrubs, body butter, scented candles and so on.

One brand that is familiar with spa in Indonesia is called Dewi Sri Spa. On this opportunity I'm trying one of their collection called Peach Delima Body Foam.

Details from www.dewisrispa.com:

Peach Delima Signature Series

Exotism of peach and delima has inspired various cultures from the ancient time. Delima (Punica granatum) represent eternity, lavish and fertility. Both are riched with vitamin C, vitamin A and poliferol as antioxidant and promote a fresh, smooth, healthy-looking complexion.

With a self foaming device the product burst out lovely foam with a rather sharp to the nose scent of peach delima. For the whole body I think it took around 10 pumps. I did try to enjoy the scent and benefit, which hmm, I can't seem to experience. The cleansing properties is okay, I guess, but there's no adequate freshness to it nor healthy looking complexion. In fact, I can easily replace the product with any other kind of body foam with a cost far less.

Verdict:

Sorry to say this item get more negative feedback from me. The Rp.100k ++ price is too much for a 2 weeks usage (2x a day). The scent is a bit sharp on the nose and the I don't see any 'real' benefits to the skin.
