1. HydraQuench Cream-Gel from Clarins
This creamy gel promotes an immediate “cooling” effect that turns into water on contact with the skin. It is non-oily and leaves an invisible, silky film on the skin's surface upon application, but the matte finish is not lasting, and I find my face oiling up after two to three hours of application. Definitely a no go.
2. Shiseido White Lucent Brightening Balancing Softener W
Along with my sample of moisturizer came this softener from the same series. It is very light, hydrates the skin very well while gently exfoliating the face of debris and helps following skincare products to sink in.
3. Shiseido White Lucent Brightening Protective Emulsion
A brightening daytime moisturizer with SPF15 and PA++. It's a white light weight emulsion that sinks into skin easily. Not sure if it is the presence of SPF, the moisturizer tends to leave an oily film on the face which I find unbearable.
4. Bifesta Bright Up Cleaning Lotion
A staple for my makeup removal routine. It's water based, cleanses waterproof makeup easily, and gives the option of not having to follow up with facial wash on lazy days. One product which I have repurchased countless times.
5. Hadalabo Retinol Lifting & Firming Lotion
I find this version even more moisturizing than the Hydrating series. Leaves my skin soft and supple, and it's so moisturizing, a bottle lasted me well over 5 months.
6. The Body Shop Passion Fruit Shower Gel (Discontinued)
The mini size passion fruit shower gel which I bought from the last Body Shop warehouse sale. One of my favourite scent for shower gels from Body Shop. It has been discontinued all over Singapore. Why Body Shop why?!?!
7. Clinique Anti-blemish Solutions Spot Treatment Gel
A fast-drying clear gel that helps to reduce blemishes and promote healing. I usually like to use it on red bumps with visible white heads as it speeds up the drying process. Tends to sting a bit upon application.
8. Bifesta Eye & Lip Makeup Remover
A bi-phase makeup remover, which is cheap and good. I just need to pour a few drops of this remover on a cotton pad, and leave it over my eye for 10 secs, and all my waterproof eye makeup removes in one swipe. As with all makeup removers, do make sure you remove your contact lenses before makeup removal to avoid staining.
9. Clinique Moisture Surge Extra Refreshing Eye Gel
A light refreshing pinkish clear gel for the eye. So far the only eye cream from Clinique which did not give me millia seeds on the eye. Did not do anything for my fine lines though.
10. Shiseido The Skincare Day Moisture Protection
A daytime moisturizer specially formulated to provide optimal hydration and balance in skin while the SPF 15 helps to protect against UV rays. Personally, I find the moisturizer overwhelming and it leaves a sticky film on my skin instead of absorbing it.
11. Shiseido The Skincare Hydro-Nourishing Softener
I love how it hydrates and exfoliates my skin! I feel that my skin is smoother, clearer and more hydrated. It also aids the following skincare products to absorb better.
12. Estee Lauder Hydrationist
Smooth cream moisturizer with slight fragrance which gave me an initial velvety smooth skin. Skin around my nose stings a little when I apply, and after 1 week, my skin broke out. Sadly not for me.
