Just wondering: has anyone tried Pond's Flawless White Deep Whitening Facial Foam (I think Noona is the presenter of this)---I want to give it a try but don't know anything about it.

Another question, Have you guys ever tried any whitening cream before? If so, which one do you recommend? I was on Amazon and found tons of whitening products.

[Sunny]

I see a lot of Ponds advertising in Thailand, not sure if its a good cream? or foam or whatever they produce but I don't use it. I think I used to use it 5 years ago LOL as for whitening cream, its good for toning out the face like dark spots, it does not make your face whiter but it will brighten up your complexion.

Just recently bought three new products so here's my review.

1. Suisse Programme - CELLULAR Revitalizing Toner

Quote

description
A slightly perfumed tonic lotion which revives the complexion and moisturizes the skin. It elminates the traces of impurity. It's completes the purifying and cleansing effect of the Cellular Cleansing Milk. The skin becomes more luminous and transparent. Calms the skin irritations and reduces tiredness and slackness. Contains a natural moisturized factor.

My review: I didn't quite like the perfumed on it because I think the smell was strong and it made me feel like I was wiping a non natural stuff on my face but after a week of using I got used to the smell and its fine. It is not sticky, it's one good toner that I've used and my skin does feel more moisturized and my complexion have improved as well, I love using toner it makes my face feel super clearer. I rate it 4.8 out of 5

2. Laneige - Pore Trouble Emulsion

Quote

The Pore Trouble Technology protects the skin by removing and preventing excessive sebum and corneous skin dead cells, resulting in a beautiful and revitalized skin. Salicylic acid and triclosan help to prevent. skin problems by removing excessive sebum and corneous skin dead cells, and cleansing the skin pores.

My review: The emulsion is quite moisturizing, its not sticky and its easy to use, it may feel oily at first but it goes away. Its a watery cream and you don't need much at all, just one tiny pump on the palm and pat on your entire face. I think this emulsion helps a lot of preventing excess sebum on my face and I think it's also helping me from breaking out pimples as well but not preventing pimples completely but I feel it helps reduce it from occurring. It doesn't show a huge difference or change but I feel refreshed using it. I rate it 3.7 out of 5

3. Shu Uemura - Depsea Hydrability Moisturizing Emulsion

Quote

A refreshing lightweight moisturizing emulsion that delivers a soft and waterbreaking texture that smoothly spreads on face to replenish skin with water and lipids. 24 hour lasting moisture leaves skin feeling soft, smooth, supple with visibly enhanced translucency.

My Review: It is indeed very lightweight moisturizing that is very moisturized! It comes in pump and you have to pump it carefully or else it'll come out heaps which you don't need and its a waste (because of its price I try to not over use LOL) it makes me feel moisturized all day not sure about 24 hours because I don't leave my face unwashed for 24 hours lol but it makes my skin feel soft and very supply. I rate it 5 out of 5

[teptida]

i know shu uemura but the other brands are unknown for me. in france, whitening cream are forbidden because they're too dangerous for the skin. i use: l'oreal and vichy normaderm.

[thai4ever93]

I'm currently using Kiehls "Rare Earth" mask, it's an alright product. Oh btw...

What type of face wash or cream would anyone recommend to get rid of pimple scars and prevent new ones, for someone with somewhat oily skin? Besides proactive stuff. Thanks.

[Sunny]

I would say use clay mask for oily skin it helps not sure if it'll help prevent pimples but so far I don't get pimples often at all. As for face wash or cream I don't think there is one that helps prevent or get rid of pimples unless the products is designed to do that but it would probably be a different product altogether and that you would still need to use other brands of face wash or cream.

One thing I can recommend is this product, when you get pimples and its about to pop or cooked lol stick the Nexcare Acne Dressing on that pimple, it'll suck the stuff out of it and also heals the spot at the same time, I've been using this stuff for ages every time I get pimples I wait for it to be ready and stick it on overnight, the next day I take it off and wow the size of the pimple will have reduce, sometimes you will need to stick it on for a couple or few times for it to completely suck out all the stuff and totally reduced and day by day that pimple will disappear and the spot will slowly go as well.

It saves you from popping which is not recommended and also picking at it which causes further distress on your skin and it'll just widen the black spots that pimples usually leave after it disappear, I would give this product a 5 out of 5

Thanks so much Sunny!! I will definitely take a look at that product. I mainly have a problem with the pimple scars, but I think that product sounds great for future pimples

[cherishdaheart]

The products I use are only St. Ives and Neutrogena cleanser. I have sensitive skin and I'm also allergic to benzoyl peroxide, which a lot of products has them.

I'm not a makeup kind of person because my skin get irritated but when I do, I use only bare mineral which is good for my skin.

[Sunny]

I've recently been doing this 'Ice Facial' for my face, every morning after I wash my face I will go to the freeze and grab one block of ice cube, wet the ice cube and rub it around my face, eye bags gently and any areas where I think needs treatment such as redness or pimples etc.

Firstly it helps ALOT with swelling under the eyes, I look more awake, fresh and not too tired (of course you still need enough sleep lol)
Redness is disappearing and sometimes that itchy area somewhere on the face do not itch anymore and its cold and refreshing hehe.

Its another nice way to wake up your face

I've gotten so many makeup and skincare in the past few weeks to last me a year. I'll review of a couple today...some of the products I've used prior, some I'm totally new to.

FRESH Rice Dry Oil - for the body is simply amazing. The first time I tried it on, I tried it on at Sephora a few weeks ago. It had a price tag of 55 dollars so I slathered it all over my arms not thinking I'd get it, cause I dont wanna spend that much on a body oil. When I got home, felt my arms, they were so soft like a baby's butt. I returned last friday and purchased. I put it on after a shower and it keeps my skin so heavenly soft, and it's not greasy either. I love it.

TEND SKIN - Since I dont shave or wax, I only use those hair removal creams, I've been getting a lot of bumps on my legs. Some people insist it's a reaction, others say it's ingrown hairs. I went to Sephora under the assumption it's ingrown hairs and bought TEND skin and I've only used it for 3 days and already notice a difference. I put it on right after I shower, then top it with the RICE dry OIl and already there significant improvement

GIORGIO ARMANI CREAMA NERA - I havent used this cream in a while cause it's too expensive lol. But since my mom bought it for me, she bought me 3 jars of it My skin has been irritated and breaking out lately. But the last few weeks I've been able to whip it back into shape with Keils ultra moisturizer. But this Armani cream is like the cherry on top of the ice-cream, cause on my skin, I notice the texture difference within one night. That's just how good it is. I once recommended this cream to Natty cause I love it with passion I'm glad it still works like a miracle for me

GIORGIO ARMANI SHEER BLUSH in #2 - This is the lightest blush the Armani line has to offer, which works perfectly for mE, cause I love subtlety I'm fairly light skinned so this color add just a hint of color to my cheeks. It's hard to find anything as light as this shade. I have really sensitive skin, especially to blush, but this blush didnt irritate it at all

GIORGIO ARMANI - ROUGE D'ARMANI 100 - Again this is the lightest shade from the line for lipsticks. I wear lipsticks to tone down my very pink lips not add color to it lol. I'm always struggling to find the perfect nude lipstick that I dont react to. Anything that has plumping agents blisters my lips But this lipstick is moisturising and the color is beautiful too. But considering it's over 40 dollar I would expect it to be a perfect production, it wasnt. The lipstick was so soft, it's leans the other way when I put pressure on it I think they didnt make the lipstick thick enough for the opening, and since it's soft, it's bending

GIORGIO ARMANI - EYES TO KILL MASCARA - I havent use this in a while, just cause it's so hard to buy Armani anywhere else but Holts. The name speaks for itself. My lashes are neither long or too short, so I need all the help I can get from a good mascara. This mascara has even girls coming up to me telling me I have beautiful lashes, before insisting they're extensions Guys ask me if my lashes are real. It's not clumpy, but makes your lashes extend and thicken so naturally. I also got EYES to KILL EXCESS but I havent tried that yet.

GIORGIO ARMANI - SMOOTH SILK EYES PENCIL #4 - OMG I've never used a liner that slides on like silk without much pressure. It doesnt bleed, it doesnt smudge once it's set. But because I'm already using SHU UERMA pot I decided to give the liner to my mom, since she has the above problems. Her liner always bleeds onto her lids, or smudges. I used it on her and she loves it, it's really intense black without having to cake it on.



That's all for now, I'll be back for more I'm happy I loved everything, makes me happy I dont have to return anything cause I dont like it or I've reacted to it.

[der052]

Wow, lots...

Moisturizer, I use Philosophy-Hope in a Jar-it works, only issue is that it smells like herbs for first 30 mins when you apply

Otherwise for makeup, I use Bare Minerals-Lite powder makeup, not Recommended if you have dry skin or acne prone skin... Otherwise it does wonders

Listen to miss mai! She knows what she's talking about lol. I've been using the GA creama nera for a while now, since mai recommended and it's works wonders! I swear it just completely changed the texture and tone of my face. It is pretty expensive though so I only use it at night lol. I also love love love the eyes to kill. Also recommended by miss expert mai . People always think I have falsies on when I use it. It runs about $30 a pop but I got it when nordstrom had the buy 2 get 1 so i was and got 2 sets. Reminds me that I need to restock cus I only have 2 left lol. The sales rep from corp was there when I was buying the product so he gave me a free sample of the eye pencil. Love it love it!!

I'm also trying skII's essence water right now but I find that my skin dries out afterward so after I finish this bottle I'm going back to future solution lx by shiseido.

[Sunny]

I can't afford that cream lol too expensive for me
But I'm going to buy the mascara to try for sure, that I can pocket lol


My sister recommended me Hyper Skin Lightening cream, she gave me a jar to try and within 5 days I notice my face is freaken clear any bumps I used to have on my face have literally disappear and my face has tone up real good and brighter too, it is like my new magic cream, ever since using this I have no pimple problems. I recommend to one of my friend who has bad acne and her face is getting better too.

[natty]

I had a migraine after I bought the cream cus of how pricey it was but well worth it cus people kept saying my skin glows.

[Mai]

considering how long the cream last, it's not that expensive. A friday night date can easily come to that

I'm using the eyes to kill excess right now. Doesnt go on as smooth as the original formula though.

The excess really makes your lashes looks like falsies cus it makes long and really full. the orginal one does too but not as full.



speaking of Friday night, my very nosy and annoying friend set me up on a blind date. wtf ... Maybe I should ask Cody to come along
