Result: Day after day, skin is fresh and fairer, dark spots are reduced!"

Rather big tube, so it's easy to apply.

This product has the softest scent, unlike their other products. As you can see, the texture is like lotion. Unlike the day cream, it's dewy so that it protects skin from drying and moisturizes skin well. After I spread it, it takes a minute to be absorbed and leaves skin glowing and dewy-finish.

Honestly, I seldom use it because of acne. Sometimes I use it after using acne gel. And the result:

1. Skin feels glowing and smooth touch.
2. Leaves dewy finish.
3. Feels greasy on my skin although I apply a thin layer of it.
4. In the morning, I notice that my skin looks much oilier especially on the T-zone.
5. For whitening effect, I can't say it whitens my skin and reducing dark spots. It may takes some time about 2 months to see the slight result.
6. I don't feel any peeling effect on my skin.

(sorry for the bad quality photos)

Product description:

"this peel-off mask is a real anti dull skin solution to gently remove impurities and dead skin cells that darken complexion. It instantly reveals a brighter complexion. You recover a naturally healthy looking glow and skin texture is refined."

Texture:

1. yellow colored gel.
2. thick gel and it's enough to be applied all over your face and neck.
3. the scent is too strong, makes me feel dizzy.

I use it once a week. I apply all over my face and neck and let it sit for 15 minutes. You will feel that your face is pulled tight and ready to peel. So the result that I take:

1. Skin feels soft and smooth without drying.
2. Brightens my skin for a while.
3. Removes oil too!

Ingredients:

Aqua/water, alcohol denat, propylene glycol, glycerin, niacinamide, salicylic acid, acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylatecrosspolymer, camphor, capryloyl salicylic acid, menthol, sodium hydroxide, vaccinium myrtillus fruit extract, zinc gluconate, parfum/fragrance.

It contains menthol which is what I don't like about this product. It has cooling sensation on my skin, but it irritates my eye area. However, it doesn't have parabens :D

It comes in 15ml of roll-on

The ball is made of metal and it looks hygenic :)

It has watery clear texture and easily absorbed if you apply thin amount of it. Also, it has strong scent of alcohol.

Voila! it is absorbed

Usually, I use it overnight on problem areas. I apply thick amount of it and spread for amount 2 minutes until I'm sastified.

Results:

Cons:

1. Rather expensive (IDR 36.000,-).
2. Strong scent of alcohol.
3. Contains menthol.
4. Irritates my eye area.
5. Doesn't deal with its claims. It's said to banish acne from day 1 but the reality is, acne is banished after a week usage.
6. Doesn't work on banishing acne marks.

Back to the point, I want to post my first BB cream, Garnier BB Miracle Skin Perfector All in-1 Perfecting Cream, in short. Why? Because this version is specially formulated for Indonesian women. Garnier produces BB creams which are made in different version such as America's, India's, Australia's, etc. Luckily, Garnier makes BB cream in Indonesia's version. So I will tell you its pros and cons.

Pros:

1. Affordable (IDR 22.500,-).
2. With SPF21/PA++
3. Good packaging.
4. Rather small tube hole.
5. No parabens and SLS.
6. Soft scent of lemon and it's fresh!
7. Easily absorbed and lightweight formula.
8. Delivers matte finish, natural look and smooth touch without feeling sticky.
9. Evens and brightens my dull skin.
10. Controls oil well (for 5-6 hrs).
11. Moisturizes my skin without feeling oily.
12. Lasts long (6-7 hrs).
13. Doesn't make breakout, thanks to its non-comedogenic formula.

1. Available in only 1 shade that's too dark for people with fair skin.
2. Coverage is sheer to medium and some people may not like it (for me, it's okay as long as it makes my skin look natural).
3. Alcohol is the second main ingredients.
4. Fragrance is put at the middle of its ingredients.
5. Lemon extract is put at the end of its ingredients.
6. You have to blend it fast because it's runny. Don't give some dots first, apply it fast instead.

1. Have oily skin.
2. Need natural look.
3. Don't matter about the scent.
4. Have dull skin tone.
5. Need daily BB cream with affordable price.
6. Are going to school/you're a student like me ;)

1. Have dry skin or sensitive skin.
2. Are going to special occasions such as wedding reception, sweet17 party, etc.
3. Need BB cream with great coverage.
4. Need BB cream with dewy finish.
5. Have fair skin.

If I had my fair skin back, I wouldn't repurchase. I'd like to try other BB creams.

That's all girls. Now I want to review completely in Indonesia. Have a nice day! :D

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hai semua! Ini pertama kalinya gue ngepost dalam bahasa Indonesia hihihi.

Ini merupakan BB cream pertama yg gue coba, dan harganya di alfamart Rp 22.500,- padahal di indomaret Rp 21.500,- dan mini market deket rumah Rp 16.000,- jadi nyesel beli di alfamart -___-

Btw, semoga review ini membantu kalian semua.

Krim ringan, mudah diratakan dan menyatu dengan warna kulit. Tidak menyumbat pori-pori, kulit wajah terasa nyaman dan tampak segar. Dipilih oleh sebagian besar wanita Indonesia karena cocok untuk kulit mereka.

Ingredients: 

Water/aqua, alcohol, glycerin, dipropylene glycol, dimethicone, pentaerythrityl tetraethylhexanoate, ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, ammonium polyacryldimethyltauramide, styrene/acrylates copolymer, triethanolamine, parfum/fragrance, poloxamer 338, carbomer, salicylic acid, isopropyl titanium trisostearate, alumina, PEG-8 laurate, menthol, linalool, benzyl salicylate, limonene, benzyl alcohol, citrus limon fruit extract/lemon fruit extract, geraniol, citral.

Fyi, cape gia ngetik ingredients nya -___-

Dan satu lagi, NO PARABENS DAN SLS GIRLS!!! :D

Lubangnya lumayan kecil jadi higenis :)

warnanya bisa dilihat. terlalu gelap buat tangan gue yg putih tapi jatohnya bagus dan cerah dimuka gue yang dekil abis kejemur matahari. teksturnya ringan, kayak lotion gitu menurut gue dan wangi lemonnya ga terlalu menyengat kok, malah enak. sayangnya, agak runny gitu jadi kalo diblend mesti cepet", kalo engga nanti jatohnya belang.

nah ini abis di blend. warnanya jadi agak tan di tangan gue, tapi dimuka gue jadinya bagus karena dekil hehehe. menurut gue sih ini lebih cocok buat kulit yg sawo matang, kalo yang kulitnya putih disarankan jangan pake ini.

Hasilnya:

1. Muka jadi lebih cerah dan BB cream ini meratakan warna kulit loh :D
2. Fyi, BB cream ini meratakan warna kulit antara daerah deket alis yg berwarna putih dengan daerah lainnya yang warnanya dekil.
3. Coverage nya sheer to medium, jadi ga terlalu nutupin noda bekas jerawat sampe sebagus foundation sih. Tapi gue tetep suka karena beberapa bekas jerawat di muka gue ketutup sempurna dan hasilnya natural, ga kayak lenong.
4. Memberi hasil yang matte yg didambakan wanita berkulit berminyak.
5. Muka gue jadi lembab tanpa terasa oily dan lengket :D
6. Oil controlnya oke loh, paling selama 5-6 jam terus perlahan-lahan muka minyakan lagi (fyi, muka gue termasuk yang berminyak bandel).
7. Daya tahannya kalo di muka gue sih sekitar 6-7 jam, lumayan kan?

Packaging. As good as usual

Product Description:

a gentle, easy to rinse foam with lemon essence to intensively cleanse, visibly brighten and clarify skin.

How to use: gently massage on wet face, lather and rinse with water. Avoid eye area.

Ingredients: aqua/water, glycerin, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, pottasium hydroxide, lauric acid, glyceril distearate, glyceril stearate, kaolin, benzyl salicylate, citrus medica limonum extract/lemon fruit extract, limonene, linalool, methylisothiazolinone, PEG-14M, tetrasodium EDTA, parfum/fragrance (B45631/1).

Two thumbs up for the ingredients! There is no sodium laureth sulfate and parabens (chemical sources that cause cancer) which is what I like about this product. But some people may not like fragrance and linalool in it. For me, it doesn't matter as long as it works good on me.

Back side

Flip tube and it has rather big hole, so you don't have to squeeze hard.

White color, creamy and soft texture. Also, good scent of lemon! :)

after rubbing, it doesn't produce much foam.

Results:

1. At the moment of washing, my skin feel smooth. Thanks to the creamy and soft texture.
2. After rinse, it leaves squeaky clean on my skin. It also great to remove makeup impurities.
3. However, after a while, my cheeks area become dry. It turns out my skin concern from oily to combination skin. Luckily, it can be rid by The Body Shop Seaweed Mattifying Cream :)
4. It also fades away dark spots and acne marks permanently. Furthermore, it brightens my skin tone temporarily! I become so optimist that I will buy their full regime later :D

FYI, The Body Shop seaweed range is suitable much for combination/oily skin. I used it then I stopped because of their prices lol. However, if you have very oily to acne-prone skin, I recommend you to use their tea tree range (I only use tea tree toner and pore minimiser).

Since I have large pores and blackheads around my cheeks and nose, I tempted to buy The Body Shop Tea Tree Pore Minimiser. It's pricey (IDR 219.000,-) but it's worth a try. So let's start.

Its functions are:

1. Minimises the appearance of pores.
2. Mattifies for a shine-free finish.
3. Leaves skin feeling fresh and pure.
4. Ideal base for make-up.

1. It leaves matte finish without drying out my skin.
2. Minimises appearance of pores a little.
3. Works well as a primer! Makeup sticks better when use.
4. Reduces appearance of blackheads too :D
5. After 4 hrs usage, my skin starts to be oily (when I stay at home only).

1. Have oily or acne-prone skin.
2. Need good primer.
3. Have enlarged pores.
4. Have blackheads.
5. Outgoing.

Btw, I don't mean to promote or advertise it. All of my reviews including this review are based of my experience, I'm just happy about this product because it works like wonder!

Nexcare Acne Cover comes into 4 variants: Ladies, fun pack, combination and big dots. I bought ladies first and after it had run out, I bought fun pack version. 

Product Description:

1. Water-based acne patch that is used to absorb pus and oil inside acne in 8 hours.
2. Covers acne and reduces risk of infection caused by contamination of air or finger touching.
3. Waterproof and it has air circulation to help quick recovery.
4. The acne patch contains only hydrocolloid dressing, no chemical drugs added.

1. Cleanse your face.
2. Press acne patch with your clean hands to affected area.
3. Wait until 8 hours and you can replace it. The acne patch will turn white.

1. Don't use Nexcare Acne Cover altogether with other acne cure.
2. If your acne becomes worse, consult a doctor.

It's sterile :)

There it is. Contains star and heart shaped acne patch.

Usage and results:

Before usage, there is whitehead on my face.

On process....

After usage, whitehead has gone! But it leaves acne mark

The acne patch turns white as it's claimed :D

(sorry for bad quality pics)

It works perfectly at absorbing whiteheads! But sadly it leaves acne mark so I have to get rid of it by other treatment.

Pros:

1. Affordable (IDR 28.000,-)
2. Sterile patch.
3. Hydrocolloid dressing only in the ingredients, no chemical drugs added.
4. Stick strong enough on my skin.
5. Waterproof, so I can take a bath without worry lol.
6. Works perfectly!

Unboxing time! It comes with cute tumbler bottle :)

It has rather big tube that's easy to be contaminated :/

It has white color and creamy. Also, it has soft and nice scent of lemon tea.

Actually I apply much amount of it so that my skin feels sticky after 4 hrs usage. So I recommend to apply only small amount of it (M&M candy sized).

UPDATES: 

1. When I take small amount, my skin gets smoother in a long time without feeling sticky. Also, the oil control is far better if I take it small. So that was my fault of taking it much :p
2. Causes BREAKOUTS! :(

Comparison of excessive oil production between using this moisturizer than nothing:

Without usage (cleanse + tone)

With usage (cleanse +tone +moisturize)

(sorry if you find it disgusting lol)

According to these pictures above, do these look the same? -___-

TIPS: for you who have very oily skin, take a thin layer of it to your skin so that you won't find it sticky and greasy after application.

In conclusion,

Pros:

1. Cheap and suitable for starter (IDR 3.900,- on mini market).
2. Cute package.
3. Nice scent.
4. Whitens my skin at first impression.
5. Gives smooth complexion if I take it in small amount.
6. Fades away acne marks and dark spots a little.
7. Great oil control if I take thin layer of it.

1. Big tube.
2. Contains fragrance.
3. Doesn't have SPF.
4. Creamy texture that is actually suitable for normal to dry skin(Why don't Garnier use gel-based moisturizer instead?)
5. Excess sebum starts to appear after 4 hrs usage (yeah, cos I took it much hehe)
6. Look the same as if I don't use any moisturizer (again, cos it was my fault taking it too much).
7. causes breakouts.

You might like it if you:

1. Have normal to combination skin (mine is oily to acne-prone skin).
2. Want to brighten up your skin.
3. Need moisturizer with affordable price.
4. Want to fade away acne marks and dark spots.

1. Have acne-prone skin. Cream-based skin is not suitable for acne-prone skin.
2. Have normal to dry skin.
3. Need moisturizer with SPF (it only has UVA and UVB filters).

Voila! It has cute package, small bottle but small amount (pea sized) is enough to cover entire eye area. It claims:

"Helps reduce appearance of fine lines, puffiness and dark circles.

Suitable for all skin types."

Cons:

1. Pricey (IDR 179.000,-).
2. Doesn't work at all on reducing appearance of dark circles.
3. Feels sticky if I apply more.

I don't recommend this if you have dark circles like mine. If you want to prevent for aging or use it as daily hydration, go for it. That's all for this review, send comment if you desire. Bye!
