Can Su:M37 Secret Essence replace SK-II Facial Treatment Essence?

by Lina Clémence
written by Lina Clémence



Sometime at the end of last year, I finished a 230ml bottle of Su:M37° Secret Essence Advanced Sync Program. It was a limited edition and I’d paid quite a bit for that bottle. I used it once in the morning every day and it lasted me almost a year!

I didn’t fall in love with this product immediately but as I continued to use, I was happy with its performance and so now that I’ve finished the bottle, I’m thinking of repurchasing it.

Premium Korean skin care range

Su:M37° is pronounced as “soom 37”. We’re talking about a premium Korean skin care range that’s definitely not wallet-friendly. But there’s a good reason: This range uses a natural fermentation process to extract concentrated goodness from a whooping 80 types of seasonal plants for at least a year!

And even more interesting is that only the beneficial ingredients are filtered out at an optimal temperature of 37°C to create Cytosis®, the essence of SU:M37° in all its products.

Because of this unique formulation process, the products under the range are free of fragrances, artificial colors and synthetic preservatives. They are also said to be hypoallergenic and safe for most skin types.

Better than SK-II Facial Treatment Essence?

Su:M37° Secret Essence Advanced Sync Program is the bestseller in the Su:M37° series of products. I was reminded of SK-II Facial Treatment Essence when I first stumbled upon Su:M37° Secret Essence. I suppose it’s because both products are formulated with ingredients derived from the process of fermentation.

Su:M37° Secret Essence comes with Cytosis® derived from natural fermentation while SK-II Facial Treatment Essence is formulated with PITERA™, a natural bio-ingredient derived from yeast fermentation.

Another similarity is that both are pricey with Su:M37° Secret Essence on the lower range.

However, they’re not really the same when it comes to product consistency nor usage.

Su:M37° Secret Essence feels thick and takes awhile to sink into the skin than SK-II Facial Treatment Essence which feels more like a toner that gets absorb quickly. That’s why they can’t really replace each other. In fact, I’ve read that some ladies use Su:M37° Secret Essence over SK-II Facial Treatment Essence. Very lavish IMO.

Difference ways to use Su:M37° Secret Essence

For those of us who can’t afford that combination, I’d suggest using Su:M37° Secret Essence over a normal toner instead. Any toner will suffice but if you prefer, pick a Korean brand like I did with Pyunkang Yul. But there were days I used Su:M37° Secret Essence with Aromatica Rose Absolute First Serum (which I absolutely love). The combination is a bit luxe but it’s still not as lavish as with the SK-II combo.

I also know of women who applied the 7-skin method using Su:M37° Secret Essence. For those who have not heard, the 7-skin method is to apply a toner or serum 7 times. This is a K-beauty tip to improve hydration and minimize products in your skin care routine.

Personally I find this method lavish as well when it comes to using Su:M37° Secret Essence. If I’d tried this method, the essence would probably have only lasted me only 3 months. What I did try occasionally was to use the 3-skin approach and that is, to apply the essence 3 times.

As to how you do this skin method is simple. Just apply the essence once, and before it’s fully absorbed, apply the next layer and so on for 3 times or 7 times if you wish.

Anyway, I just wanted to present you with the different ways to use Su:M37° Secret Essence. If you do get this product, you’ll be able to use it more than one way.

My experience with Su:M37° Secret Essence

So why do I enjoy Su:M37° Secret Essence so much that I’m considering to repurchase it despite its steep price point?

I love it for its hydrating and nourishing properties. I definitely experienced improve hydration gradually over time. My skin was feeling less oily in the day when I used this product and the difference is even more apparent when I stopped using it now.

In addition, this essence is so lightweight that it works extremely well with my other skin care products. I can absolutely slather a moisturizer or sunscreen over without having my skin feeling heavy or sticky.

Some ladies have said they experienced a brightening effect with this essence but I didn’t notice a difference. I’m sure having the skin more hydrated helped to improve radiance but I didn’t see any brightening effects.

Su:M37° Secret Essence comes with a long list of ingredients. But its key ingredients are Cytosis with a blend of Niacinamide and Ferulic Acid. On top of being hydrating, this essence has antioxidant properties, making it a great product for anti-aging. I have to concede that every application makes my skin soft and smooth.

An added bonus is that it smells great…a slight citrus scent with a hint of lavender so it’s very enjoyable to use.

Price and availability

While I love this product, I wouldn’t say this is a must-buy especially given the rather high price point. It’s more of a good to get if you have extra budget and you’re looking for a new Korean product to try.

If I remember correctly, I paid over S$200 for the limited edition of Su:M37° Secret Essence Advanced Sync Program at Tangs. What’s available usually is their 80ml bottle retailing at S$108 in Tangs. I believe you can get it for cheaper online but I just want to add that you should check the source of your purchase to prevent issues of counterfeit products and inappropriate storage under our humid conditions.

My experience with buying cosmetics from online stores (a big one that runs frequent promo at that) is that some of them do not know how to store natural and organic skin care products. I’ve had an instance where a cleanser came smelling rancid even before I began using it! So if you do purchase this online, do check your source and ensure they’re reliable in storing and handling cosmetics.

Anyone tried Su:M37° Secret Essence Advanced Sync Program? Do share your thoughts if you have.

Product highlighted was purchased and this review is in line with my disclosure policy.

Garnier Sakura White Pinkish Radiance Essence Lotion

by Lina Clémence
written by Lina Clémence


Sesungguhnya saya punya BANYAK Hydrating Lotion, i mean really really lots! Tapi ya ketika liat si Garnier rilis Hydrating Lotion, mau gak mau hatiku tergugah juga untuk khilaf (?) *apalagi beli ini pas diskon, kan ya gimana gitu ya…*

Iya, udah sisa setengah, soalnya emang udah di pake selama beberapa bulan XD

Awalnya aku agak rancu dan bingung juga sama produk ini, namanya Essence Lotion tapi kok kalau dari cara penggunaan kayak Hydrating Lotion? Ya sudah dengan seenaknya saya menyamakan ini sama Hydrating Lotion saja lah daripada di bikin bingung sama istilah baru lagi *emang Carol suka seenaknya

Bentukan produk ini kayak gel, tapi dia sedikit lebih cair, sedikit saja udah cukup untuk pakai semuka kok.

img_2196

Ingredients nya bisa di lihat di foto di atas ya.

Wangi produk ini khas garnier banget, tepatnya khas “White sakura” series banget. Kalau pernah pakai mask sheet atau pelembab nya si garnier yang seri ini, ya wanginya sama ketiplek kok.

Untuk daya lembab nya, ya standar lah, gak yang lembab banget, tapi kalau di pakai di cuaca panas ya cukup bikin lembab sih… pas aku pakai di Bangkok masih cukup selayer doang aku pakai ini, tapi di Melbourne sini… Harus minimal 3 layer kalau mau lembab nya cukup XD

Tambah cerah? Tentu saja tidak
Ada nongol jerawat? Gak sih
Berasa lembab? Lumayan…

Intinya, di kulitku gak ada efek negatif setelah aku pakai produk ini, tapi ya gak ada hasil yang wah juga sih, semacam flat ajah gitu… xD (mungkin karena aku gak pake rangkaian garnier lain juga, plus mungkin skintone ku emang udah mentok segini ajah hahaha).

Harganya sekitar IDR 79.000, ini harga resmi di official shop nya garnier (Lazada, Shopee). Di Watson harganya aku lihat lebih mahal sih, kayaknya sekitar IDR 100.000 gitu. Tapi jangan khawatir, seperti biasa Garnier mah sering diskon kok, produk ini aku beli pas diskon juga, seingatku pas beli ini harganya gak sampe IDR 50.000 malah (beli di Lazada). Ya cukup okelah kalau kamu cuma nyari produk tambahan untuk membantu kulitmu lebih lembab.

LACOCO Watermelon Glow Mask & Cosvie Woman Hygiene Treatment Essence Review

by Lina Clémence
written by Lina Clémence


Hello bunnies ♥

How long has it been since I last write? it’s been to long.

I’ve been caught up with works yang sangat menguras tenaga. But here I am to give you another new review!

Keren ga sih? Another local products!

And I’m super happy to finally try this one out! Everybody’s been hyped about these certain products.

So, without further a due,  Ini dia 2 produk yang aku dapet

Lacoco Watermelon Glow Mask & 

Cosvie Woman Hygiene Treatment Essence

Aku sangat penasaran dengan watermelon glow mask ini. I’ve used sleeping mask before and in love with it and to finally try this one out lebih exciting lagi. I heard alot of good reviews about it!

.

.

Langsung aja Aku mulai dari 

Watermelon Glow Mask is also known as a sleeping mask or mask that is used overnight during sleep which serves to moisturize and protect the face during sleep. It makes your face glow and brighter in the morning. 

Watermelon Glow Mask use watermelon and banana as their main ingredients.

Watermelon has a very high water content and serves to provide maximum moisture to the face. Watermelon is also rich of antioxidants that could protect facial skin from the effects of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles.

Banana has potassium that strengthen the antioxidant which can also give your skin an extra moisture. Pisang contains 22% of vitamin B-6 dan 17% of vitamin C, vitamin A and E, niacin, riboflavin, zinc dan selenium.

There’s more ingredients used for this mask, which are Evening Primrose for preventing irritation and reducing the appearance of redness, it can also improve skin elasticity.

There’s also Polyglutamic Acid, that helps to moisturize the skin, brightening the skin, also maintaning skin pH balance.

ini list ingredients nya

Water, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Acrylamide/Sodium Acryloyldimethyltaurate Copolymer, C13-C14 isoparaffin, Phenyl Trimethicone, Phenoxyethanol, Laureth-7, Cyclopentasiloxane, Lactic Acid, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Citrullus Lanatus (Watermelon) Fruit Extract, Fucus Vesiculosus Extract, Musa Sapientum (Banana) Fruit Extract, Cyclohexasiloxane, Dimethicone, Tetrasodium EDTA, Polyglutamic Acid, Oenothera Biennis Flower Extract, Ethylhexylglycerin, Fragrance 

Lacoco is known for their natural ingredients which won’t harm the skin.

Here’s the production code and exp date stated in the bottom of the box.

Ini penampilan dari packaging Lacoco Watermelon Glow Mask.

I love how they use pink color for the tube. it looks classy.

size 75ml

Lacoco ini against animal testing and also it’s paraben free

so it’s very safe to use for the skin.

It has quite a nice smell that actually disappear after applied to the face, so it’s very mild. too bad it smells nothing like watermelon for me.

It has quite a watery texture instead of thick and oily. It’s also well absorbed to the skin! a bit sticky at first but then after a while, since it’s well absorbed, it’s not sticky anymore.

You only need few amount of products and it’s enough for the whole face, for my case.

How to use:

Use this mask last after all your skin care routine.

apply generous amount to the face and neck, leave it overnight

wash thoroughly in the morning.

foto diatas diambil tanggal 27 juni.
foto dibawah diambil tanggal 21 juli.

Nah I wanna share my experience here,

I’ve used this for a almost a month. dan for the first 2-3 weeks kulitku lagi sangat bermasalah.

I’m pretty sure it’s not because of the mask, but If I may guess it’s because I tried new toner/skin conditioner or new face wash yang ternyata ga cocok. my skin’s getting less itchy and better after I stop using that products and kinda stop this mask also for a while and just let me skin breathe for couple days, then I continue using this again.

the glow mask is kinda sticky IF you wear too much, but if it’s just generous amount, it’s not as sticky and as I said before, it’s very well absorbed.

Pertama pakai di kulit sangat lembab dan beneran paginya berasa supple banget kulitnya. but I have to say this product DOESN’T HELP with soothing my redness and irritation. It doesn’t help either with my acne, yang kalo aku boleh compare sama sleeping mask yang aku pakai sebelumnya itu bener2 bantu my irritated skin and most of the times, acne.
you can see my picture up there, it’s like nothing change for my skin tho. 

I don’t use alot of layers of skincare coz the more I use, the more my skin irritated and it’s super annoying, so i’m using a very basic skincare which is toner, moisturized, eye cream, acne spot gel and last but not least sleeping mask. 

I feel using less means more to my skin. the more skincare I use, the more my skin feels too oily and dehydrated. I don’t know why but that’s how I felt.

Jadi intinya sih ini ga sesuai expectation.

it gives my skin nice moisture, but sometimes too much jadi agak oily in the morning instead of glowy. Glowy dan Oily berbeda yah sis!

I see no face brigthening juga karena wajahku tetap merah-merah, which the claim said it helps reducing the redness, but not for my case.

I’m not saying that this is a bad product, I can’t even say it’s a bad product just because it doesn’t fit my expectation. It’s just kulitku aja mungkin yang ga cocok. But hey, aku baru pake sebulanan loh!

Female areas are areas that require special care, indeed. Although not visible, the humidity and condition of the female area are very important. Poor treatment will cause the female area to become a nest of germs and vulnerable to attacks by diseases, bacteria, and discomfort.
COSVIE Woman Hygiene Treatment Essence is the best treatment for femininity, which is able to maintain cleanliness while providing various benefits.

compared to other products, one of the specialties of this essence is the ability to cleanse bad bacteria, but still, maintain good bacteria. Another content that is manjakani serves as an antiseptic that can cope and prevent whiteness and itching. Manjakani is also capable of tightening the muscular wall of the feminine area.

COSVIE Woman Hygiene Treatment Essence also contains babassu oil, which acts as an antifungal to prevent fungal growth in female areas. The female area free of fungi will be free from unpleasant odors and vaginal discharge and discomfort. The other content is aloe vera. Aloe vera has many amazing benefits for the skin. In the area of femininity, aloe vera serves to soothe the skin, and stimulates collagen production to help tighten the skin of the female area.

Another ingredients are Cherry blossoms that helps brighten the skin around the female area.

Here’s the Ingredients list

Water, Glycerin, Polyquaternium-73, Orbignya Oleifera Seed Oil, Phenoxyethanol, Butylene Glycol, Dicaprylyl Ether, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Propylene Glycol, Quercus Invectoria (Gall) Extract, Polyglyceryl-10 Dilaurate, Lactic Acid, Ethylhexylglycerin, Prunus Serrulata Flower Extract, Fragrance 



It has this lavish gold packaging.
size: 50ml


ini pump yah, dan kalian harus miringin pas di pump untuk productnya kluar.


How to use:
Use 3-4 pumps place to your hand, apply it to your feminine area that’s dry and clean.
wait till it absorbed well. do not wash after use.

It has very liquidy texture, bener-bener cair dan ini sama skali ga lengket
it has also a very subtle scent, no after effect suck as being oily after application.
it’s well absorbed kalo ditangan but down there might take a while. 



Here’s my experience!
I’ve never use anything like this before, biasa aku cuman pake feminine wash and biasa pake lotion aja dibagian luarnya. So it’s kinda my first time, which I have no expectation whatsoever for this product. Aku pake sehari cuman sekali and I use usually 2 pumps only. it took a while to absorbed like I said before.


one thing yang aku kaget sebenernya, cos I thought this product should be something that against bad things but instead bad stuff happens.
Aku sadar setelah memakai ini selama 2 minggu, bagian luar area V ku jadi super duper gatel yang sangat ga bisa kalo ga di garuk, jadinya malah luka.
I don’t know why, beberapa temenku pake ini fine-fine aja, di aku malah jadi gatel parah. 
jadi cause redness and jadi pake celana dalam ga nyaman, 

So I decided to stop using it and back using lotion like i used to do,
Gatelnya ga langsung ilang but lama lama ilang gatelnya setelah totally berhenti pake ini.
why is this happening to me?
Aku pernah ngalamin 2x area V ku gatel dan sampe bawa ke dokter di kasih obat, Aku kira ini kambuh, cuman ternyata gatelnya beda tempat and pas berhenti pake jadi mulai menghilang gatelnya berarti karena productnya.

Aku memang ga expect apapun sih dari ini, but to experience such discomfort is not a pleasant experience.
THIS IS NOT A BAD PRODUCT! karena kenyataannya banyak yang coba dan cocok, berarti kulitku aja yang emang ga cocok.
Adakah yang coba pake ini dan ngalamin kayak aku?



.
.

So I guess that’s my review of these 2 products.
I notice as I get older, my skin becomes more sensitive and picky. Not all natural claimed products suits my skin also, when I thought isn’t it supposed to be safer to use? but why my skin reacts differently?
Even I can’t use any kind of body moisturizer, dulu bisa pake apa aja, sekarang ga bisa.
Punggung ku bisa jadi jerawatan kalo ga cocok sama lotionnya.

You can check more products here:

Thankyou so much for reading my honest review. 

I’m writing this review based on my experience. Always trying to be honest in every review I post. No matter how expensive the product was, but if it’s doesn’t suit me or don’t give me any progress or better changes, I will always let you guys know in proper words.

I hope this review helpful for you. See you in my next post.

Review Skincare Halal dari Jepang: Momohime Peach White Essence

by Lina Clémence
written by Lina Clémence


Untuk muslim, pastinya kehalalan menjadi kriteria utama saat memilih produk kosmetik. Tidak heran tren kosmetik halal pun masih terus mendominasi di Indonesia. Nah, aku mau ngenalin produk skin care halal dari Jepang nih: Momohime Peach White Essence!

Sebagai pecinta kosmetik Jepang garis keras, aku langsung super-excited begitu tau ada produk ini. Produk buatan Jepang dan halal? It’s like YASSSSSSSS DEFINITELY WILL TRY! Okay, now it’s time to share more about the brand and product: Momohime.

Momohime adalah skin care brand dari Jepang yang punya spesialisasi moisturizing. Kandungan utamanya sudah ketahuan dari namanya: buah Persik. Ada 7 kandungan pelembap di setiap produk Momohime: ekstrak buah Persik, jus buah Persik, ekstrak biji buah Perrsik, ekstrak daun Sakura, ekstrak daun Perilla, kolagen terhidrolisa dari ikan, dan Asam Hyaluronat Na. Selain itu, semua produk Momohime juga mengandung vitamin C, ekstrak jeruk mandarin, botanical sqwaran, dan Arbutin. 

Produknya juga punya teknologi liquid crystallization, sehingga mampu melembabkan sekaligus mencerahkan kulit. Cocok untuk semua jenis kulit, bahkan kulit kering dan sensitif sekali pun.


Ada total 6 produk yang sudah dijual secara resmi dan bersertifikasi BPOM di Indonesia:

  1. Momohime Peach Moisture Gel Cream
  2. Momohime Peach Foaming Face Wash
  3. Momohime Peach Natural BB Cream UV SPF 50 PA+++
  4. Momohime Peach Moisture Lotion
  5. Momohime Peach Clear Cleansing Gel
  6. Momohime Peach White Essence

Packaging

Produk dikemas dalam kemasan boks dan pump bottle berukuran 30ml. Aku suka banget sih dengan dominasi warna yang super gemash dan bernuansa sparkling pearls gitu.. Desain bentuknya juga cantik, sukaaak.

Cuma aku memang merasa desain logo dan print pada kemasan botol bisa ditingkatkan lagi sih. Karena pemilihan font-nya bikin mata agak memicing karena kurang jelas and it feels a bit old. Tertolong banget sama desain botol, apalagi tutupnya mirip kristal gitu.

Untuk informasi lebih jelas dalam bahasa Indonesia, pastikan kamu tetap menyimpan kemasan boks dengan baik ya. Hal ini karena tidak ada informasi produk dalam bahasa Indonesia pada kemasan botolnya.

Ingredients

Water, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Butylene Glycol, Diglycerin, Glycerin/Polyglyceryl-10 Stearate, Methyl Gluceth-10. Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Carbomer, Dipotassium Glycryrrhizate, Xanthan Gum, Potassium Hydroxide, Disodium EDTA, Fragrance, Sodium Hyaluronate, Prunus Persica (Peach) Juice, Arbutin, Sodium Ascorbyl Phospate, Citrus Reticulata (Tangerine) Peel Extract, Prunis Yedoensis Leaf Extract, Prunus Persica (Peach) Leaf Extract, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Perilla Ocymoides Leaf Extract, Prunus Persica (Peach) Kernel Extract.

Based on ingredients, essence ini tentunya membantu mencegah penuaan dini dan juga mencerahkan kulit karena ada kandungan Arbutin, Vitamin C, dan Mandarin Orange Rind Extract.

Price

Harganya untuk ukuran 30ml adalah IDR 569.800, certainly not affordable for everyone, tapi so far the product does it right, jadi yaa aku pun pakai terus essence ini pagi dan malam!

Tekstur

Teksturnya sih juara. Gak terlalu thick dan lengket tapi gak seencer toner atau lotion. It’s just perfect. Yang paling penting, buat kamu yang males atau enggan pakai skincare karena takut kulit minyakan atau breakout, say goodbye to your excuse cause this product has ultra-lightweight texture and easy to blend.

Wanginya enak, segar, dan yang paling penting gak bikin hidung sensitif aku kumat. Yes, I have sensitive nose, jadi biasanya kalau fragrance-nya berlebihan langsung auto cekit-cekit tu hidung. 😂

Langkah penggunaan essence ini adalah setelah penggunaan toner dan sebelum serum/ moisturizer.
Tekstur dari produk ini ada diantara lotion dan gel. Momohime Peach White Essence ini ringan, mudah dibaurkan dan tidak terlalu lengket, cocok untuk layering skincare. Wanginya juga enak dan segar, mirip dengan wangi permen peach yang manis gitu, tapi nggak berlebihan dan nggak bikin enek. Gunakan Momohime Peach White Essence sesudah pengaplikasian toner dan sebelum menggunakan serum atau moisturizer.

Aku sendiri mengikuti arahan tersebut dan so far kulit kombinasi ini looks great! Bekas-bekas jerawat mulai menipis dan kulit pun terasa lebih kenyal. Cukup 2 pump untuk seluruh wajah dan bisa sampai ke leher juga ya, gengs!

Hasil Pemakaian

Nah intinya, setelah 10 hari pemakaian, aku merasakan kulit jauh lebih kenyal dan tekstur kulit juga membaik, dari yang banyak bekas jerawat, kini sudah berangsur membaik. Selain itu aroma produknya juga relaxing banget: peach!

Selain bersertifikasi halal dari Japan Islamic Trust dan BPOM, semua produk Momohime itu bebas dari kandungan babi, tanpa kandungan mineral, alkohol, surfaktan, dan bahan pewarna buatan. 

So, what are you waiting for? Cek langsung aja di e-commerce di official store Shopee dan Tokopedia.

Review: Laneige HydroGel and Hydro Essence*

by Lina Clémence
written by Lina Clémence


During the hotter months, I like to change up my skincare by going for lighter-weight products that are gel-like in consistency and cooling. Introducing the Water Bank Hydro Essence ($51 cad /70mL) that you use in conjunction with the hydro gel (below). This is targeted for those with dryness, dullness, oiliness and uneven texture. It is a very lightweight serum that quickly absorbs into the skin and helps boost hydration and prevent water loss. It contains their Green Mineral Water which is extracted from kale, watercress and beet which brings a refreshing texture and instantly absorbs into the skin. It also does not contain parabens and phthalates. 
  Next, we have the Water Bank Hydro Gel ($50 cad /50mL cad) a cooling, non-oily gel moisturizer that is packed with antioxidants and hyaluronic acid that helps to hydrate the skin and bring moisture back to it without leaving a heavy layer or feeling on the skin after. This is good for people with oily, combo or normal skin and helps to combat dullness and unevenness. It is also created without parabens and phthalates and contains the amazing Green Mineral Water as in the essence above.

A very important thing to note is that it is essential to keep the skin hydrated even when your skin is oily and sweating in the summer months. Do not make the same mistake as I did in my younger years by thinking that because my skin is so oily that I could refrain from applying moisturizer as it would regulate my oil control. That is a big no-no. In fact it does the opposite, stripping and depriving your skin of its required hydration and moisture would actually cause the skin to create even more oils to help regulate moisture and create that protection which is the opposite of what anyone really wants.

I have been a user of Laneige skincare items for years and continue to include them in my skincare routine! These are must-trys 🙂 

Until next time, XO – M.

*products were sent for my consideration, all opinions are my own.
