-Dermatologically tested on Asian acne-prone skin-                  

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!

Luckily, my mom and I went to mini market and I bought Clean and Clear Deep Action Daily Pore Cleanser. At first I doubted it because I'm afraid it would dry my skin. Since I really want to scrub very bad, I bought it. So here it is

It costs IDR 19.500,-, sounds affordable right? And it comes with good package as usual cleansers. Frankly, it says that it is a daily cleansers. However, I use it as a facial scrub because it contains:

1. Apple fruit-acid formula with gentle micro-scrubbing beads work deep down to unclog pores and remove blackheads.
2. PureRice extract controls oil to help prevent new blackheads from forming. 

When I read it, I was like "Hell-o? Are you kidding about this 'daily' facial wash?" Scrubbing face everyday will dry out your skin, also it will break skin tissues if it is used frequently -___-

So I decide to use it as a facial scrub once a week.

It has small tube to prevent from taking too much facial scrub.

It has blue and white micro beads (sorry for the bad quality) and clear-like gel. Btw, I love its soft apple scent.

After rubbing it. It turns white and foamy and those beads doesn't hurt my skin at all :)

Let's move on to the results:

1. Leaves my skin clearer.
2. Smooth touch on my skin.
3. Takes off excess sebum.
4. I feel my skin a little bit dry, but it can be rid by moisturizer :)
5. Doesn't deal much with blackheads and acne marks on the first impression (I will update about it after a month usage).

That's all girls. Please comment if you desire or if you have experienced it. Have a nice day and I hope much for election day tomorrow in Indonesia hehe. Bye then xx!

It comes with 250 ml bottle, which is rather big and it may runs out after 5-6 months usage. Fyi, this is the first bottle I've used and I find it in good package. I've been using it for about 2 months and there is still 2/3 of the bottle left. That's why The Body Shop always pricey -___-

Product description:
Sweeps away traces of impurities for clearer looking skin.
leaves skin looking mattified. Infused with tamanu oil


As pictured above, it has visibly clear and greenish color of solution with light green powder under it. So you have to shake well until it is mixed well.

1. Cleanses my face pretty well :D
2. Takes off impurities as well as the seaweed one.
3. A little bit warm sensation around my face (takes some seconds).
4. Leaves my skin soft and smooth.
5. Doesn't dry out my skin.
6. Mattifies my skin, like putting moisturizer onto it (I have oily skin btw).

1. 250 ml of bottle and you may use a whole bottle for 5-6 months (pretty long time, eh?)
2. Good package.
3. Cleanses my skin from impurities well!
4. Leaves skin soft and smooth, also mattifies.
5. Doesn't dry out skin.
