Product Review: The Face Shop Herb Day 365 Aloe Cleansing Foam

Akhirnyaaaah... bisa posting product review lagi setelah kemarin beberapa saat terlempar dari jalur yang benar. Malah barusan malah si Kakak posting gak penting banget :(

Baiklah. Tanpa banyak basa-basi, mari kita review satu produk yang udah DocCii pakai selama hampir 3 bulan, tapi entah mengapa produk ini gak mau abis-abis. Awet bener.

Jreng jreng ~ The Face Shop Herb Day 365 Aloe Cleansing Foam. Lagi-lagi ini dibeliin Kakak :D DocCii gak tahu harganya dan belum sempat re-check ke store atau online shop untuk nanyain harga. Kata Kakak, kalau pakai BB cream jangan bersihin muka pakai facial wash biasa. Dia kasih DocCii Cleansing Foam ini untuk membersihkan muka setelah pemakaian BB cream seharian.

Keterangan produk di website:

A mild natural cleanser, which contains nine herbs and fresh aloe ingredients, providing moisture after cleansing -

Kemasannya berupa tube dengan isi sebanyak 150 ml. Banyaaaaaaak banget isinya sampai udah pemakaian 3 bulan pun belum habis cleansing foam ini. Ditambah lagi DocCii facial wash freak banget. Di kamar mandi ada lebih dari 5 merk facial wash dan semuanya dipakai. Jadinya makin susah abis nya aja deh cleansing foam ini ^^

My kind of favourite packaging! Flip top. Paling suka deh kemasan begini. Gak ribet dan simple banget pas mau dipakai ^^

List of ingredients yang terkandung dalam cleansing foam ini. Ada fragrance nya, hati-hati untuk kulit sensitif yang gak bisa kena fragrance dari produk kosmetika.

Produk ini di claim bisa memberikan kelembaban pada kulit setelah pemakaian. Di website The Face Shop, produk ini dianjurkan sebagai produk yang berfungsi untuk meng-hydrate kulit wajah.

Tekstur dari cleansing foam aloe ini. Nothing special with it karena sama aja kayak cleansing foam lainnya.

Setelah pemakaian, memang memberikan efek kulit yang lebih supple walaupun masih ada slight of dryness sedikit.

Efek moisturiser nya gak 100% betul ternyata :)

(+)

• As for me, I love it karena ini gratis! Beliin lagi dong, Kak ^^
• Awet!
• Kemasan flip top yang memang favorit DocCii
• Kulit terasa lebih supple saat setelah pemakaian cleansing foam ini

(-)

• Masih ada terasa sedikit kering setelah pemakaian, masih butuh moisturiser lagi setelah pemakaian cleansing foam ini
• Kayaknya harganya lumayan mahal di store di Jakarta

Repurchase? Hmmm... how to say it? Gak nolak kalau dikasih lagi, tapi kalau beli sendiri kayaknya gak.

Verdict: I like it but it's not my favourite for sure ^^

Eh, iya ~ DocCii mau ngingetin kalau DocCii ShupzToo lagi ngadain giveaway lho. Bisa di check disini. Hadiahnya lumayan, voucher IDR 125.000 untuk 1 orang pemenang.

Product Review: St. Ives Natually Clear Apricot Scrub

Hi Beauties ^^ I was told by my friend that some friends of her also put some interests in this blog. That is nice, true? Until she told me "Don't be too happy, Houston. We've got a problem... those friends of mine can't understand what you're trying to say as you wrote all the product reviews in Indonesian"

And here's my first review post using English. I won't write in English all the times. In fact, it gives me an idea... I speak English, Deutsch, Swiss-German, Swedish, Korean, and of course Bahasa Indonesia. DocCii speaks Arabic, English, Swedish, as well as Bahasa Indonesia. What would you say if we're writing in those languages sometimes? ;-) Yay for going more global. Hahaha.

All right, let's cut the crap because now I would love to review my new favourite thing. It's St.Ives Apricot Scrub.

Neither of me or my sister bought this product. We got it for free from Shasha, our super kind friend. Thank you again, Shasha ^^ It's one of the giveaway's prizes she was hosting last month.

Ever since I had this product, I know that this lil thing will be my new bestfriend in life ^^ Claimed to have blemish and blackhead control formula, and it happens to be true. Never found any products that work on my blackhead (as well as whitehead, anyway) really well like this St.Ives Apricot Scrub does. I've been using this product almost 10 days now and the progress on my face is something which I call 'visible' :-)

The appearance of St.Ives Apricot Scrub in 28gr tube packaging. This size is pretty comfy and I can bring it in my little toiletries pouch while travelling. I think it's gonna be okay too if I bring it with me to the plane cabin on my long haul flight.

It's written that the formula was made for acne treatment. I haven't got many breakouts and almost no pimples these days... yet this product still work wonderfully on me. Great oil control and really smoothen up my skin.

Anyway, I read at some other beauty bloggers' pages that this scrub damage their skin as the scrub was too sharp. Some people say that it even causes them breakouts at some places where they usually have some clean and smooth area of skin face. I haven't experienced breakouts so far, not even purging from moving to this scrub from my traditional baking soda home-made scrub :-D As for the sharp granules on the scrub, I found it okay because I'm not using this product daily. I scrub my face once in three days, as many beauty experts have suggested ;-)

By the way, it has no paraben in its ingredients. Another plus point of this product ^^

The screw cap is a thing which I dislike from the packaging. I wish it could be something like flip tops because sometimes I really lost my patience trying to open one product with screw cap :-D

The granules are really visible here, yeah? They are a bit rough... but as long as you don't apply this daily, I think it's okay with that kind of 'rough' scrubs. It cleans the face well and I've got a result of very smooth skin afterwards ^^

As for the pros and cons... let's have a look ^^

(+)

• It smells really good. Have I mentioned it on my writing above? I love the smell just very very very much ;-)
• The tube of 28gr is a handy packaging I can bring anywhere with me
• It gives smooth skin effect after using it
• It works well handling blackhead as well as whitehead, and the result is pretty much visible after 3 times of using
• No paraben!
• Good oil control
• Works well even in the face with no pimples
• Amazingly cheap (according to some friends in Europe)

(-)

• Where to buy it in Indonesia? No clue!!
• The screw cap... wish it was a flip top instead

Repurchase? No, but I will get my friend in Switzerland who's using the same product to get some for me. He always gives me stuffs for free, so it literally not a repurchase right? I don't purchase it, I'm asking for it :-D

When it comes to scrub, it really goes for personal preference. If you think you need it, then you can buy it. But since there're many cons users out there, I suggest you to give it a try first before purchasing the product (incase you're one of the users who can't get along with this scrub). How? Meet a friend who owns the product, try at least once or twice to experience the effect of the product on your skin. Cheap and easy ;-)

That's all for now, Beauties ^^ Meet ya later...

Tampak belakang

Produk ini DocCii temuin sama Kakak DocCii waktu kita berdua terdampar di Watsons dia daerah Toa Payoh, Singapore. Pertama kita tertarik karena harganya mureeeeeh. Hehehe. Tapi ternyata pas dipakai kok enak juga ya. Produk ini juga dipakai sama si Otong, adik DocCii nomor 1. Dia kan jerawatan parah, terus pas pakai sabun ini jerawatnya mulai mengering gitu. Setelah merasakan enaknya, besoknya DocCii sama Kakak DocCii beli lagi produk ini di Watsons MRT Orchard.

Sabun muka ini enak dipakainya karena ada sensasi dinginnya. Mungkin karena ada peppermint oil didalamnya. Terus scrub nya juga menimbulkan perasaan muka terasa bersih banget. Hehehe.

Okay, sekarang buat PlusMin product ini à

PLUS:

1.     Harganya murah!!!

2.   Sehabis dipakai, muka tuh terasa segar dan dingin banget

3.   Di kemasannya ditulis PARABEN FREE, which is good karena kandungan paraben dalam kosmetik bisa menimbulkan kanker kulit dalam pemakaian jumlah tertentu.

4.   Di kemasannya juga ditulis “SUITABLE FOR VEGETARIANS AND VEGANS” dan “NO ANIMAL TESTING”. Gak ada unsur hewani dalam produk ini.

5.   Bisa mengeringkan jerawat… bukti nyata: si Otong! Sayangnya kita belum berhasil memotret bukti hidup nya sebagai real proof. Hehe

MINUS:

1.     Gak ada di Indonesia!!!! Hiks hiks hiks

2.   Scrub nya lebih kasar dari facial foam yang pernah DocCii coba sebelumnya

3.   Kalau untuk yang kulitnya kering, pakai sabun ini bisa bikin kulit kamu terasa lebih kering. Bisa diakali dengan pemakaian day/night moisturiser setelah cuci muka pakai sabun ini.

Dari skala 1 sampai 5, DocCii kasih score 3.5 untuk produk ini. Kalau aja produk ini dijual di Watsons Indonesia, mungkin DocCii kasih score 4 ;-)

Tips DocCii: Coba dulu beli 1 pc di Watsons kalau lagi jalan-jalan di S’pore. Coba di hotel malamnya. Kalau cocok, besoknya beli lagi yang banyak buat stock sampai ada yang pergi lagi ke Singapore untuk dititipin beli facial wash ini :-)

Itu dulu untuk product review pertama dari DocCii. Semoga bermanfaat ^^ Anyway, kalau ada produk apa yang ingin kalian DocCii review... bisa comment atau kirim email ke DocCii ya ;)
