Skincology EGF Cell Regenerating Serum E.G.F.＋山藥活齡精華液

Don't the name of this product sounds really professional?

BTW, EGF means Epidermis Growth Factor.

And this is the product, again from Skincology (Niu Er).


I haven't tried all of their serum range yet, but will get there someday! LOL!

Here's the promo pics from Payeasy's website.




And the actual product that you'll be getting:

See the serum color? It' a little reddish.. but not as in bloody red color.

But the bottle does scare me a little when I first got it.


The bottle packaging.


Descriptions on the bottle.


And in English.


It says:

Amazing facial moisturizing renewal complex contains human EGF. Aging skin loses its ability to rejuvenate as quickly as adolescent skin. EGF stimulates skin cells to revert to their active renewal pattern. By using this serum twice daily over a 4-6 week period, the skin returns to its youthful clarity and translucence with increased firmness.

Price: RM55 ~ RM58 from Fiobeauty @ last year (540NT from Payeasy) for 30ml

My thoughts:
I think this is an okay product. When I first tried this serum, the smell was a little hard to tolerate. It smells like those "Chinese Herbs" mix with raw vegetable kinda scent. -_- Kinda putting me off a bit for the first few days but now my nose is already immune to it. :P

Other than that, this serum feels light (runny texture) and absorb quickly into the skin. Also, i can see it does help lighten (very little!) some old pimple spots of mine. My skin also felt somewhat "matte" and it seems to control oil for some period of time. :)

I didn't much felt the "firmness" or "more youthful" as described in the product description. But overall, it is an okay product despite it feels very "lightweight" on my skin. :)

The ingredients.

I'm Not a Doctor but I Dissect Them

Hee hee. An unofficial doctor, maybe? =)

You may have heard that people dissect their UDPP for more primer, but since I don't have UDPP, I dissect my tube cleanser. =)


*please excuse my fugly chipped nails. =)*

I have done this not only to my cleanser but also to my hair conditioners as well.


Don't waste them, even they cost just a few cents. =)


As for the cleanser, it's another product from Niu Er. I bought this many months (uhm..years maybe?) back and I think they have discontinued them since I don't see this cleanser anymore.

Product: Niu Er Advanced Hydrating Facial Cleansing Cream.



I can only do a quick review since I don't have much details of them anymore now. =)


Description in Chinese.


In tube.


Texture wise.


My thoughts:
This is a cream cleanser. Hence, don't expect to get foams/bubbles from this one.

I dislike the scent for this one as it has a strong creamy vit.E smell, just like those conventional moisturizer scent. However, this mild cleanser cleanse well and leave skin moisturized without feeling tight. I think this cleanser suits sensitive skin types as well. Anyway, if you still see this on their Payeasy website, do let me know (I might have overlooked them).

Til then, have a good weekend ahead people. =)

Advanced Hydrating Neck Firm Gel Review 玻尿酸美頸水凝膠

I never really came across neck creams until a few online friends came to talk about them. Frankly speaking, the neck area was not even in my area of concern since I was just in my 20s back then.

Oh boy I was wrong! I was pretty horrified seeing myself having those "zebra"-like wrinkles when standing in front of the mirror. *_* (pic below) It was even more disgusting a few months ago when they were darker than the picture. Fio said it was probably due to "not properly" cleanse when bathing. Or in other words called "laki" (hokkien) xD

I remembered people said by looking at your neck, your age will be revealed without even asking! =_= Finally, I gave in and got myself a neck "gel" instead of those buttery cream ones since I don't fancy them that much (think oil slick + body acne = horrifying pimples. argh. or maybe I think too much! lol!)

For a newbienoobie like me, I opted for Skincology from Niu Er since I'm pretty confident with his skin care range.


If you have not known, one of Niu Er's famous line is their hydrating range.


Because I hate the "oily" feeling of creams, I got the gel one instead.


BTW, don't their packaging just look alike? The right one was my HG Moisturizer. Talk about cost saving packaging! :P


The box that came with it.


The Chinese description that comes with it.


In English and the ingredients of the neck gel.


The actual product.


Bottle packaging.




Nicely printed manufacturing and expiry dates.


The Advance Hydrating Neck Firm Gel.


And yes, I have been using it for about 2.5 months now. Almost time to change another one soon. LOL!

The gel.


The Product: 30g
Price : RM48 (from Fiobeauty.com, as usual)

From fio's website & payeasy:

My thoughts:
I'll let the picture do the talking. I'm just a little lost for words.

Do you noticed any difference? =X Let's look at the plus points first, I like how the gel feels, light weight and non-sticky. It also smells good and refreshing too! I think that is all I can say for the plus points.

Cons?
A handful of them. I do not see firming and I still see my obvious neck rings after 2.5months. I did not hope for a miracle by using this but at least it should show some improvements right? I'm not sure if it is me but I noticed my wrinkles are much more visible now. :(

Overall, even though the gel does feel relaxing and refreshing but I don't think I would repurchased this again. Maybe I should try the cream version of this instead. Please do let me know if you have a better neck creams/gels to recommend too! I just don't want to reveal too much of my age to the public yet. :P

ColourCology Hydrating Pre Makeup Base SPF50 @ 玻尿酸保濕防曬控色乳SPF50

Ya ya, I know. Another make up base. But this time is from ColourCology by Niu Er. :P

Here's the actual product:-


The details:-



(this is silicon-based, and also.. it says SPF50 at the front, but SPF30 at the back?!, I hope it's a printing error...)

This packaging looks fairly simple but I just love the chromy feel of it. :D


The dispenser of this make up base.


The good stuff that you'll be getting:-


Seriously, this reminds me very much of strobe cream.


The swatches:-




Pearly, shiny, moissyy (new word replacing "moist") :P


On Yours Truly XD ...


I know this pic doesn't do much justice, but just want to show you that it gives a slight dewy effect. And this one is not drying too! :D

The Product: 30ml
Price that I bought this: RM55 (from Fiobeauty.com, as usual)
My thoughts for this product:

For RM55 and getting only 30ml of the make up base is seriously not cheap (RM1.90 per ML). If you top up a little more, you can have MAC's Strobe Cream already. LOL! However, both MAC Strobe Cream and this Pre make up base is different in terms of it's consistency. This ColourCology is more watery whereas strobe cream is .. you know, cream! :P I like this base the most (other than my HG Guerlain primer)compares to my previous make up bases. It also make my skin feels "hydrated" but not oily. In terms of smell, it doesn't really have any smell to it. Also, even though it stated this is silicon-base, but the texture doesn't feel or even look like it!

Cons?
Not cheap. And not available in Malaysia. :(

Overall, I will buy this again if my second bottle hits the bottom (ya, I've a second one at home already! :D).

The ingredients:-

Deep Sea Collagen Essence : 深海膠原胜月太精華原液

Gosh. Time flies. It's almost the end of Merdeka day and the start of September.

And do you know not only MAC has new prices starting effective Sept 1? Our petrol prices will also changed starting tomorrow! >_< onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRIUTE19r1o9ROWnXKHfH9UIIP6BcaLtq1zrB7UIzw28vd_3dh4z_BKvvplYrUaEXmP5TV6nVaetZtb4J3k1HhcedWbRKrdSiXfmhVISEj2KsOlUH2c1gWMmeHpcOWsho20PXiIY1pnBDX/s1600-h/deepsea+essence%285%29.JPG">
I've talk about the moisturizer in my earlier post. This is the hydrating serum or you can call it an essence.

From the website:


It says: (I'm doing a "Agak-agak" direct translation,okay. no pro here. :P)
1. Maintain youth
2. Firming & Lifting
3. Eliminates fine lines

From the box.



The ingredients and notes:


Sticker from the bottle :)


Just like any serum that I own from Niu Er. Here's how it looks like.


Spreading out onto the skin....


The Product: 30ML
Price that I bought this: RM50 +- (I don't quite remember the exact price already, sorry -_-")

My thoughts for this product:
Like any other serum/essence that I used, it is very lightweight, quite watery (as Purified water it is the 1st main ingredient in the list) and absorbs pretty quickly into the skin. The consistency is a little thicker than the usual toner. It felt like nothing after application (2-3 mins later) . I used this before my moisturizer. Does it claims like what it says on the description? Well, frankly speaking. I don't feel anything. Eliminates fine lines or firming/lifting. Nada aka None. -_-" How about Smell? I don't feel it does has any smell to it as well.

Cons? A little drying I would say after it is applied onto the skin. My skin does not even feel supple as well. But with the same range of its moisturizer , my skin does feel hydrated and supple. :)

Will I buy it again? Sadly to say, I don't think so.

Anyway, I do hope Niu Er can have a thicker consistency in their serums (and of coz, the price that we pay for may double or even triple with it :P).
