Product Review: Organique by Olinda Spring Whitening Skincare

by Lina Clémence June 1, 2025

written by Lina Clémence

The entire world is hopping onto the organic skincare trend, and for good reason. Products that are organic are safe for the skin, less likely to irritate sensitive skins, and gentle, yet effective. Today I’m reviewing a range of organic whitening products, so if you’re looking for bright, luminous, clear skin – you’re in the right place (or at least, reading the right article). Here we go.

Product

Organique by Olinda Spring is a skincare brand that formulates their products using the natural spring waters of Olinda, in Mt. Dandenong, Australia. The waters are not only naturally filtered and pure, they’re also mineral rich and supposedly good for health and highly beneficial to your skin. They’ve been making waves in Australia and beyond with their effective, natural, and affordable skincare, and they have, happily, reached Malaysian shores.
I received their entire whitening range. In this Whitening range there is the Gentle Cleanser, Multi-Active Toner, Facial Serum, Day Care Lotion, and Eye Cream. The range utilises Magnolia extract – high in antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, and prevents UV-induced pigmentation.
I have been using and testing the products over the past 3 weeks. My skin at the beginning of my trial was pretty good – dehydrated, but clear and even. I did have freckles and sun spots around my cheekbones and temples, and I was hoping to reduce their appearance with continued use of this range.
Packaging

What struck me immediately about Organique’s packaging was the high quality, despite the product’s price point. The bottles are made of a beautiful frosted glass and have the weight and feel of a luxury product. The pumps and covers all function beautifully and smoothly, and in these 3 weeks of use their functionality has remained top notch. I was incredibly pleased and impressed.
Performance
As is expected when you receive an entire range, I used all the products together in my daily skincare routine, only swapping out the day cream for a heavier, more hydrating moisturiser (the one I was using daily before trialling this range) at night.

The cleanser is foaming but doesn’t give you the kind of crazy foam that you get from most – I personally prefer this because I feel it doesn’t strip the skin as much.

I expected the lotion and day cream to be heavy and sticky, but they were both very lightweight and absorbed into the skin very quickly. My entire experience using the range was delightful and refreshing. The eye cream was slightly heavier, but still very lightweight, and almost felt like a heavier serum instead of a cream. This range is mildly scented, but I found it quite pleasant and the smell disappeared pretty quickly after application.
Verdict

After my 3 weeks of use, I’ve found that my skin is brighter and more luminous – there is this glow about it when it’s photographed, and my skin is less flaky in the dry areas around my cheeks and mouth. I haven’t noticed a significant reduction in the darkness of my freckles and sun spots, though I do think this range is much more effective at preventing the development of new spots than it is for removing pre-existing spots.
In my opinion, this is a beautiful starter range for anyone looking to begin an affordable, complete whitening skincare routine. It covers all the bases – great value for money, good hydration, good protection for the skin. If you’re looking to solve a more serious pigmentation problem, you might want to look at more extreme options instead (e.g. laser or peeling treatments).

Rainbowdorable by Auzola | Indonesian Beauty Blogger: (Bahasa Indonesia) Review LANEIGE NEO Cushion Matte & Glow

by Lina Clémence May 31, 2025

written by Lina Clémence

Kalau kalian pecinta LANEIGE pasti udah tau deh sama cushion yang satu ini. NEO Cushion sendiri bukan produk baru, tapi udah ada dari tahun 2020 dan menjadi salah satu produk cushion yang booming banget, bahkan sampai sekarang! Sampai menang 9 awards, antaranya, Hwahae Beauty Award “no.1 Cushion” dan Allure Korea “Best Of Beauty Award”. Sudah terjual lebih dari 3.85 juta produk juga lho! (berdasarkan NEO Cushion dan related product sales di May 2022).

NEO Cushion ini ada dua tipe; Matte dan Glow, bisa disesuaikan banget sama kebutuhan kulit. Kali ini aku mau share keduanya, biar kalian yang nyari reviewnya bisa lihat perbandingannya langsung!

KEMASAN & KEGUNAAN

Kemasannya sendiri seperti ini:

Punyaku yang ada refill nya ya, jadi kotaknya lebih tebal dibanding yang cushion aja (lebih tipis). Keduanya memiliki kemasan box yang simple, dengan warna cream untuk yang glow dan hijau pastel untuk yang matte. Pada bagian dalam box sudah terdapat cushion dan juga 1x refill yang masih terbungkus rapi dalam kemasannya.

Kemasan cushionnya pun sama, hanya berbeda di warnanya. Kemsannya sangat simple tapi bentuknya gemes banget kalau menurutku, ringan juga dan ngga terlalu bulky, masih enak untuk dipegang dan dibawa dalam tas. Pada bagian dalam cushion sudah terdapat puff dan isi cushion, lengkap juga dengan kacanya.

Uniknya, cushion ini sangat mudah lho untuk diganti isinya dengan refill baru. Pan cushionnya cukup diputar sedikit lalu diangkat dan nanti dimasukkan refillnya sesuai dengan bolongan kecil yang terlihat pada kemasan, ngga ribet kalau mau refill. Plus, bisa disesuaikan sama tangan kita (right or left handed). Jadi cara masukkin refillnya bisa disesuaikan dengan kenyamanan tangan saat megang cushionnya (lihat di gambar titiknya ada dua? tinggal disesuaikan aja mau diletakkan di mana)! Good job sih untuk kemasannya.

Well, packaging wise kedua cushion LANEIGE ini sangat mirip ya, emang beda di warna aja. Tapi untuk puff nya sendiri ternyata berbeda! Yang NEO Glow puff-nya sekilas terlihat seperti standar pada cushion umumnya, tapi memiliki teknologi “air hole” puff dengan 21 lubang udara agar pengaplikasian formula lebih lembut dan merata. Sementara untuk yang matte menggunakan puff teknologi baru dengan “air pocket” puff yang memiliki celah-celah pada puff nya untuk membantu penyerapan dan pengeluaran formula dengan lebih merata.

Aku BB cushion pakai yang shade no.23 dan untuk NEO cushion ini juga pakai yang 23N yaa (walaupun sama-sama 23, tapi shade NEO lebih terang menurutku dibanding BB cushion yang dulu aku gunakan, tapi masih match kok).

Cara Pakai:

Ambil cushion dengan spons atau puff, aplikasikan ke wajah dan ratakan. Tepuk halus cushion pada kulit agar tahan lama. Untuk menebalkan lapisan, aplikasikan berulang kali.

SWATCH & WEAR TEST

Jadi ini sebenarnya shade yang sama ya seharusnya, sama-sama 23 N (sand), tapi as you can see, untuk NEO Glow shadenya lebih terang sedikit ya dibanding yang NEO Matte. Plus aku coba selama 15 menit untuk lihat oksidasi, yang Matte terasa lebih menggelap sedikit dan yang Glow masih mendekati swatch yang fresh. Tapi tenang, menggelapnya ngga parah dan di wajah hasilnya tetap bagus ngga bikin dekil.

Seperti yang aku bilang sebelumnya, dibanding shade no.23 yang versi LANEIGE BB Cushion yang dulu aku gunakan, ini masih lebih light sih jatohnya, tapi masih cocok untuk kulit medium light seperti kulitku. Ngga bikin wajah greyish juga, wajah jatohnya lebih cerah dan makin lama ngeblend dengan baik dengan kulit, berlaku untuk kedua cushionnya.

Ini perbandingan saat aku pakai cushionnya secara bersamaan. Kalian bisa lihat kalau ngga terlalu jauh ya beda shadenya saat sudah diaplikasikan. Yang NEO Matte hasilnya semi matte (masih ada glowing naturalnya) dan yang NEO Glow emang glowing banget kaya kulit mbak-mbak korea di iklan skincare (kalau kalian sempat liat story instagram aku pasti ngeh deh glowing bangettt), aku love!

Ini aku uji cobanya hanya pemakaian di dalam ruangan, tanpa AC, dan tidak bergerak aktif. Keringetan, tapi ngga berlebihan. In fact aku ketiduran ngga lama setelah foto yang ‘freshly applied’ hahaha, yhaa sekitar 1-2jam lah. Untung bersih ngga ada yang nempel di sarung bantal, mana lagi pakai sarung bantal putih. Tapi jadi keliatan, kalau cuma ke tempel cukup aman yaa alias cukup transferproof, ngga meninggalkan jejak pada bantal hehe. Padahal pas bangun agak keringetan lho, karena ac ngga hidup.

Ini yang sisi NEO Glow, kalian bisa lihat jadinya glowing banget kalau di aku, tapi somehow looks natural, kaya kulit glowing sehat gitu lho. Suka banget sama tampilannya, sayang kulitku oily, jadi ngga bisa digunakan dalam jangka waktu yang panjang. Terlihat di 4.5 jam udah mulai pudar ya, tapi masih bagus sih, masih cukup coverage juga.

Ini sisi yang matte, dibanding yang Glow, terlihat ya yang matte masih lebih prima kalau di kulit oily ku. Coveragenya juga masih bagus dan kulit tetap glowing walaupun ke arah matte. So far ngga terlihat cracking ya, jadi formulanya emang light banget sih menurutku untuk ukuran matte cushion.

Karena ini keringetannya ringan aja dan aku ngga banyak kegiatan saat wear test ini, aku coba test juga dengan basuh menggunakan air ya. Berikut hasilnya:

Keliatan ya kalau cuma basah cushionnya masih aman banget, baik yang LANEIGE NEO Cushion glow maupun matte. Di tap-tap pakai tisu juga cuma airnya yang menyerap, tapi cushionnya masih cukup bagus di kulitku. Oya, ini kelupaan di foto, tapi pada awal aplikasi aku coba blotting pakai tisu, dan hasilnya yang matte ngga nempel at all (cukup transferproof), sementara yang glow ada nempel sedikit sekali, very light hampir tidak terlihat. Ini kayanya yang bikin aku unonciously cukup berani rebahan di sarung bantal putih lol.

laneige neo cushion blot tissue wear test

Meanwhile yang ada di foto; terlihat di foto pertama mulai ada yang menempel tapi dikit banget (karena wajahku udah mulai berminyak ya saat itu, udah 4.5jam pemakaian, jadi wajar). Sementara di foto kedua tidak ada yang menempel, hanya air dari sisa basuh wajah. Dan di foto ketiga, setelah wajah kering aku tap-tap lagi dan itu terlihat ya ada yang menempel sedikit baik yang matte maupun yang glow. Tapi untuk ukuran udah 4.5jam dan dibasuh sama air, ini masih bagus banget ya performanya di kulitku. So weartest basah-basahan i guess cukup aman. Yang penting saat ngeringin jangan ditarik/usap, cukup di pat perlahan aja.

Berikut aku juga share untuk wear test masing-masing cushion secara terpisah saat keringetan (dengan kegiatan yang slightly berbeda juga yaa, ngga seperti wear test di atas yang waktunya bersamaan.) biar lebih detail hasilnya, sekalian dengan review keseluruhannya yaa.

REVIEW KESELURUHAN

LANEIGE NEO CUSHION GLOW:

Jadi saat wear test ini kegiatan aku adalah indoor activities (such as nyetrika, ketiduran, netflix and chill, AC on), siangnya jemput isa sekolah menggunakan masker (AC on, dalam mobil) dan setelahnya indoor workout (tanpa AC) dan keringetannya cukup parah. Hasilnya:

coverage light-medium, masih cukup bagus nutupin noda kemerahan dan jerawat.
hasilnya glowing dan lembab banget.
dalam 2 jam dengan indoor activities, kelihatan masih cukup bagus ya cushionnya, karena ruangannya juga AC. Glowingnya mantep banget, tapi somehow ngga berasa greasy jadi aku suka gitu lho ngeliatnya.
setelah 4.5 jam mulai kelihatan luntur di beberapa daerah, tapi technically masih ada coverage dan ngga butek (setelah menggunakan masker sekitar 30 menitan) dan simple workout sekitar 15-20 menit (tanpa AC), keringetan cukup deras. Jadi kalau di kulit oily emang dia lebih cepet bubar jalan ya kayanya, apalagi kalau sambil keringetan intens dan menggunakan masker. Tapi menurutku segini aja performanya udah bagus lho kalau buat oily skin.
Kalau kamu oily dan mau pakai cushion ini, saran aku untuk digunakan diruangan ber AC supaya lebih lasting. Dan menurutku yang kulitnya kering pasti bakalan suka banget deh sama cushion ini karena emang lembab banget rasanya.
In the end aku tetap suka banget sama cushion ini karena efek glowingnya bikin serasa artis korea lagi di iklan skincare, uwuu.

Pro:

+ mudah diratakan keseluruh wajah

+ kemasannya gemes

+ hasilnya glowing banget kaya iklan skincare korea

+ hasilnya healthy glow dan lembab

+ ngga terasa greasy walaupun glowing banget

+ warnanya masih cukup match

+ ngga bikin wajah abu-abu/menggelap/kusam

+ lembab banget, bahkan di area dry patch sekitaran jerawat dan hidung sisa pilek

+ kemasan bisa diatur untuk right or left handed

+ SPF 50+ PA+++ dan anti blue light juga

+ non-comedogenic so far di aku, amannn

+ cukup oke penggunaannya di kulit berminyak (tapi mungkin lebih pas buat yang kulitnya kering)

Cons:

– ngga akan terlalu tahan lama di oily skin, tapi aku tetap suka :’)

Overall Rating: 4.2/5

LANEIGE NEO CUSHION MATTE:

Awal penggunaan kegiatan ku indoor aja dan fokus di nyetrika (ruangan AC tapi cukup gerah karena nyetrika). Sisanya aku berkegiatan outdoor, seperti jemput anak sekolah dan belanja bulanan. Saat wear test cushion matte ini, cuaca emang lagi super terik banget dan itu aku belanja bulanan keluar saat siang hari bolong banget, jadi maksimal keringetannya haha. Hasilnya:

coverage medium-full, bagus nutupin noda kemerahan dan jerawat yang lagi inflamasi.
hasilnya semi matte, bagus deh masih ada natural shine nya.
dalam 2.5 jam dengan indoor activities, kelihatan masih bagus banget ya tampilan cushionnya, karena ruangannya juga AC walaupun agak gerah karena sambil nyetrika dan cuaca di luar juga lumayan panas.
Ngga berasa greasy, kalau dipegang wajah rasanya smooth aja kaya pakai bedak dan ngga lengket.
setelah 5 jam mulai kelihatan luntur di beberapa daerah, terutama bagian batang hidung yang kena gesek masker selama almost 2 jam berturut-turut. Wajar banget sih, karena aku kalau makai masker emang suka gatel tangannya, jadi suka ngga sengaja nyeret maskernya buat betulin posisi. Terus cuaca juga super panas, even di dalam supermarket aku keringetan. Jadi keliatan ya dibagian yang tergesek masker memang jauh lebih pudar.
Dia transferproof (kalau ditap-tap), tapi ngga rubproof ya di kulitku kalau lagi keringetan dan oil alami wajah udah mulai keluar. So far ngga ada masalah sih, wajar banget pudar karena masker yang bergesek, apalagi udah 2.5jam digunakan sebelum penggunaan masker.
Kalau kamu kulitnya oily bakalan cocok sih sama cushion matte ini. Tapi kalaupun kamu dry skin dan kepo mau nyoba ini aku rasa masih bagus juga kok. Soalnya dia masih cukup melembabkan walaupun ngga selembab yang glow (ini aku lihat dari performanya di ujung hidungku yang lagi muncul dry spot akibat pilek, so far aman dan ngga keliatan crack).
Untuk daily aku bakalan prefer ini sih, karena glownya natural, ringan di kulit, masih melembabkan dan cocok banget buat kulitku yang cenderung berminyak.

Pro:

+ mudah diratakan keseluruh wajah.

+ kemasannya gemes

+ hasilnya semi matte, jadi masih ada natural glownya, cantik deh

+ masih cukup bikin wajah terasa lembab

+ ringan di kulit

+ kalau dipegang kulit rasanya smooth kaya dilapisin bedak

+ warnanya cukup match

+ ngga bikin wajah ku terlihat abu-abu atau kusam

+ oksidasinya light banget saat pengaplikasian di wajah, lebih natural jatuhnya di kulitku

+ coveragenya medium-high

+ SPF 42 PA++ dan anti blue light

+ dipakai panas-panasan di matahari tapi muka aku ngga merah setelahnya

+ so far aman, non-comedogenic di aku

+ transferproof selama lagi ngga keringetan parah (tapi tidak rubproof)

+ cukup tahan lama walaupun dipakai keringetan dan maskeran

+ kemasan bisa diatur untuk right atau left handed

Cons:

– belum ada yang mengganggu sih so far

Overall Rating: 4.5/5

Another claim:

– Saat wear test kedua cushion, aku TIDAK menggunakan skincare apapun sebelum pengaplikasian cushionnya. Jadi murni clean bare face + cushion.

– Aku juga TIDAK menggunakan bedak/setting spray maupun tambahan makeup dekoratif lainnya untuk menjaga hasil wear testnya senatural mungkin.

—

To be honest, aku suka keduanya, masing-masing ada nilai positifnya sendiri saat diuji ke kulitku. Mungkin kalau aku lagi pengen extra glow aku bakalan pakai yang LANEIGE NEO Cushion Glow, sementara kalau buat daily atau tempat yang kegiatannya bikin keringetan, aku bakalan lebih milih pakai LANEIGE NEO Cushion Matte. So, bisa disesuaikan aja ya sama kebutuhan kulitmu! Produknya bisa beli DI SINI. For more info bisa langsung aja cek social medianya LANEIGE yaa!

Sekian reviewku kali ini! Semoga membantu kalian yang lagi nyari cushion! Looking forward to see you on my next post, see youu.

Love,

Auzola

Panda London Bedding Review: Sustainable Bamboo Bedding

by Lina Clémence May 31, 2025

written by Lina Clémence

Our website is reader supported. We sometimes earn a small affiliate commission for purchases made through links in our posts, at no extra cost to you. Read more about our policy.

I’m a big fan of Panda London and their animal and environmentally friendly ethos, so when they asked me if I’d like to try out some of their bedding, I jumped at the chance. It was hard to choose between their 100% bamboo and their French linen and bamboo options and even harder to choose from their range of colours. In the end I went for the French linen and bamboo bedding set in coconut white. So, here’s my Panda London bedding review.

What’s included in the set

I went for the full bedding set and was very pleased I did. Guaranteeing full bamboo and French linen coverage, the set includes a fitted sheet, duvet cover and two pillowcases. Perfect for a complete bedding renovation or starter set. It has a 320 thread count for extra softness.

What’s it made from

Panda’s bamboo and French linen bedding set is made from 7% French linen and 93% bamboo rayon. Not only is this great for the environment, but it makes excellent bedding too.

Environmental credentials

I’ve already mentioned how much I love Panda. It strives to do everything as sustainably as possible and this goes right back to the growing of its bamboo. Panda only uses organic bamboo from FSC-certified forests. This means no nasty chemicals for you or the animals who live near the plants, and well-managed forests that naturally renew themselves.

Let’s not forget the French linen. The linen comes from France, naturally, and the flax plant. This requires less water, pesticides and fertilizer to grow than cotton. Flax is also a naturally very strong fibre.

What I love about this combination of materials is that both are far more sustainable than cotton, my usual preferred bedding choice. Bamboo is super fast-growing, and both bamboo and flax need minimal water to thrive – unlike notoriously thirsty cotton. Even better, they grow well without chemicals, unlike traditional cotton farming, which relies heavily on them.

To add to this great material mix, Panda use non-toxic dyes and bamboo buttons, which are a great touch on the bedding. I particularly love that everything is OEKO-TEX certified. This is an official stamp of approval that no nasty chemicals are used and that the bedding is completely safe for you and your family.

Long lasting and durable

That’s not all. As someone who tends to keep things for a long time, especially my beloved bedding, I’m losing count of how many sheets and pillowcases I’ve had to turn into rags (or a ghost costume anyone?) because they’ve literally fallen apart. Flax and bamboo are way stronger and more durable than cotton, so I’m hoping that this set will last a lot longer.

Breathable and hypoallergenic

Bamboo and linen are naturally hypoallergenic, antibacterial and anti-static. Their moisture-wicking qualities make them highly breathable too and more resistant to dust mites. Their breathable qualities make them ideal not only ideal for those who sleep hot but means they dry quicker too, win win!

This combination of qualities also means that your non-toxic Panda bedding is odour-resistant and temperature-regulating too.

What makes Panda so great: their ethical and sustainable credentials

There are many things to applaud Panda London for, apart from its sustainable sourcing of materials. Firstly, the brand is vegan, using no animal products. Plus, by sourcing its bamboo from FSC-certified forests, animal habitats are protected too. Panda even won Peta UK’s Vegan Homeware Awards.

The brand also gives back and supports a number of charities including homeless charities Herts Young Homeless and Singles Homeless Project in addition to various others.

My lovely Panda packaging which is biodegradable and plastic-free — Biodegradable and plastic-free packaging

It also uses recycled and recyclable packaging. I was delighted to receive my package plastic-free, beautifully bound in a biodegradable Kraft paper box. The bedding itself was presented in a bamboo bag that I can reuse, rather than plastic packaging.

Finally, Panda’s Circle of Life programme means that it takes back its mattress products at their end of life. This is totally free and includes free collection. They are either refurbished and donated to charity, or the foam is repurposed and used for things like sofa padding or childrens’ playground surfaces.

Overall, I love Panda’s sustainability credentials. As of writing this article, its 2024 Impact Report was outstanding. It would be great to read this to find out more about where and how the bedding is made.

What is Panda London’s bedding like

My first impression of this bedding is how substantial it feels. That sounds like a strange thing to say but it feels heavy in my hands and more floppy and flexible than cotton. You might wonder what the 7% linen does too. Well, it adds a level of crispness to the bedding and gives it a matt finish. Great for me, I don’t like shiny.

This does mean that it doesn’t have quite the silkiness of cotton, but I’ve washed it a couple of times already and it’s definitely getting softer.

I also like the design of the pillowcases. These are unlike any I’ve seen before in that the opening is in the middle of the pillow! This means that your pillow doesn’t bulge out of one end of the pillowcase – a common problem I find.

I did think it might be a problem when turning my pillow over to sleep on the other side. However, I can honestly say that the join is so soft, you don’t feel it at all when lying on it.

The other lovely feature to Panda’s bedding is the use of bamboo buttons. These add a feeling of quality and sustainability and are really easy to open and close.

The duvet cover also comes with straps inside to tie to your Panda duvet. I have to say that I’ve not used these as I don’t have the duvet, but it’s a fab design feature. I wish all duvets and duvet covers had this!

panda london bedding: The perfect combination

To summarise this Panda London bedding review, it’s a super choice if you’re looking for sustainable, durable, hypoallergenic and non-toxic bedding. I went for the bamboo and French linen mix, but they have other material options and more colour choices than you can shake a stick at. I sleep cosy at night knowing that I’m engulfed in eco-friendly and kind bedding from a company that gives back.

by Lina Clémence May 31, 2025

written by Lina Clémence

Hampir semua permasalahan yang ada di kulit kita itu dikarenakan rapuhnya skin barrier. Kalo skin barrier kita lemah, bisa aja kulit jadi dehidrasi, gampang iritasi, muncul bruntusan dan lain sebagainya. Agar kulit terhindar dari masalah dan sehat selalu, kita harus memastikan skin barrier kita kuat. Tentunya dengan menggunakan produk skincare yang memang diformulasikan secara khusus untuk menguatkan skin barrier dengan kandungan Ceramide.

Produk yang aku rekomendasikan hari ini aku yakin kalian sudah melihatnya di sosial media manapun. Ya! Karena produk ini se-viral itu dan banyak banget yang suka.

Ini dia Skintific 5X Ceramide Barrier Repair Moisture Gel, pelembab yang memiliki ukuran kemasan 30gr dengan warna baby blue membuat aku senang melihatnya saat skincare routine. Ada yang bilang kemasannya terlalu besar, menurutku nggak, karena memang isinya juga banyak! Worth every rupiahs!

Semua informasi terkait kandungan, produksi, cara pemakaian, klaim dan lain-lain semuanya sudah tertera pada kemasan box-nya.

Ga perlu baca di kotak kemasan, kita juga bisa langsung membaca HERO Ingredients atau kandungan utama pada pelembab Skintific ini. Awalnya aku berpikir kalo pelembab ini mengandung Ceramide 5 kali lebih banyak daripada brand lain, tetapi 5X disini menunjukkan bahwa produk ini memiliki 5 tipe Ceramide yang berbeda.

5X Ceramide pada Skintific:

Ceramide EOP untuk menyatukan lapisan kulit.

Ceramide AS untuk mencegah masuknya bakteri.

Ceramide NP untuk memperbaiki kekuatan lapisan kulit.

Ceramide NS untuk mengunci kadar air dalam kulit agar tetap terhidrasi.

Ceramide AP untuk menyimpan Fatty Acid di dalam lapisan epidermis kulit.

Selain itu juga dikombinasikan dengan bahan aktif lainnya seperti Hyaluronic Acid untuk melembabkan kulit, Centella Asiatica untuk menenangkan kulit yang kemerahan, Marine Collagen sebagai anti-aging.

Untuk teksturnya berwarna putih, terlihat sticky namun tidak sama sekali. Pengambilannya juga higenis karena sudah disediakan spatula di dalam box. Aromanya begitu calming dan tidak mengganggu untuk hidung yang sensitif.

Teksturnya sangat mudah menyerap, memberikan efek dingin yang nyaman pada kulit, lembab, kulit langsung terasa halus, glowing natural. Bisa melembabkan kulit aku selama 24 jam tanpa membuat kulit berminyak.

Setelah pemakaian kurang lebih dua bulan, aku merasa kulit jadi lebih kuat daripada sebelumnya, tidak mudah iritasi, kenyal, glowing alami tanpa makeup, jarang berjerawat. Tentunya aku semakin PD untuk bare face setiap hari!

Untuk harganya sendiri sekitar 139rb kamu udah bisa beli melalui E-Commerce manapun. Gimana? Apakah kalian tertarik mencobanya? Aku sangat merekomendasikan pelembab ini untuk kulit sensitif, tekstur yang kasar atau kulit yang dehidrasi. Produk Skintific 5X Ceramide Barrier Repair Moisture Gel ini bisa menjadi solusi permasalahan kulit kamu!

ZIIP DOT Spot Treatment Device Review

by Lina Clémence May 31, 2025

written by Lina Clémence

ZIIP Beauty have launched the ZIIP DOT, a brand new spot treatment device, and not only does it look cute with it’s doughnut shape but it is the world’s first microcurrent spot device!

I’ve tried microcurrent devices in the past, but none that were meant to be used for spots, only for toning the skin. I suffer from hormonal acne around my chin area, so I was really keen to test it out and see how it could help.

How Does ZIIP DOT Work?

ZIIP DOT uses Microcurrent and Nanocurrent™, two intensities of electrical current that work
together to clear acne and spots.

MICROCURRENT – The higher intensity current that treats the spots. Microcurrent has been clinically proven to reduce inflammation, swelling, and acne-causing bacteria, helping to clear breakouts more quickly.

NANOCURRENT™ – Mimics the body’s natural electrical signals, encouraging skin cell renewal and repair to soothe irritation and support healing after breakouts.

The ZIIP DOT is used with the ZIIP Clear Gel, which is blended with a sugar complex that is one
of the most conductive formulas, helping the electrical currents flow through your skin safely.

It has ingredients such as Dendriclear™ which is used in skincare products to treat acne and reduce inflammation by 87%. Mint for its antibacterial properties, as well as cucumber and aloe to cool, heal and soothe irritated skin.

BENEFITS

Fast-acting spot treatment
Calms and soothes skin instantly after use
Reduces redness and evens out skin tone
Travel-friendly
Reduces acne by 44%

How To Use?

With the ZIIP DOT you can treat one area or your whole face. For just one area it only takes 90 seconds, with 60 seconds of Microcurrent and then 30 seconds of Nanocurrent™.

To do one area, press the button once to turn it on and it will light up and make a beep. Apply the Clear Gel, which comes with the DOT, onto the area and then place the electrodes onto your skin.

Rotate the device clockwise and anticlockwise on the skin and ensure the probe nearest the ZIIP logo is in contact with the treatment area/spot for best results.

I felt a slight tingle when the probe is in contact with the spot, it isn’t sore and feels like it is getting to work. When the Microcurrent is complete it will beep and the Nanocurrent™ will begin, for this just hold it over your face and then when it completes it will switch off.

If wanting to do more areas or the whole face, just hold in the button for a few seconds and it will switch modes to do a longer treatment. With 4 minutes of Microcurrent and 2 minutes of Nanocurrent™.

Results

The ZIIP DOT was so easy to use, I loved how it only took 90 seconds. Especially as spots tend to appear when and where you least expect them, so I loved the ease and quickness for treating them.

I used it to treat my chin area and I did this over a consecutive 4 days. It brought up a spot quickly, turning it to a yellow head and I noticed it reduced the redness significantly. I followed up with more treatments until the spot had gone down considerably.

This is such a convenient way to treat pesky spots that just pop up, and I think for my hormonal acne on my chin it’s a good device to help keep it under control. I love that the gel has great ingredients that won’t trigger breakouts and help target them. It’s super small too, so you can pop it in your make-up bag on a trip.

Overall I found it a much more effective and quicker way to treat spots than some skincare products I have tried.

Vaseline Total Moisture Cocoa Glow Body Lotion Review

by Lina Clémence May 30, 2025

written by Lina Clémence

Hello beautiful Ladies,

Today I am going to discuss another solution to dry skin. Yes, when you are suffering from dry and rough skin you need not worry, because you have with you “Vaseline Total Moisture Cocoa Glow Body Lotion” by Hindustan Unilever limited. Sounds sassy? This is the magic of writing. I am getting more natural as I am writing more articles ;-). Anyways, you must all know about Vaseline. It is a very old, renowned, and trusted brand so one does not need to mull to give a try to any of its products.

What the product promises:

With pure Cocoa Butter and Stratys 3 Multi-layer moisture, Cocoa Glow lotion leaves your skin feeling healthy and glowing. This rich-feeling formula ignites skin’s natural glow at the source.

Vaseline Total Moisture Cocoa Glow Body Lotion Review

Price of “Vaseline Total Moisture Cocoa glow body lotion”- INR 238 (50% discount) for 400 ml

Buy here from Amazon: Vaseline cocoa glow

My take on “Vaseline Total Moisture Cocoa Glow Body Lotion”

I have very dry skin, so before trying out Vaseline Cocoa Glow whatever lotion I used to apply faded away in a few hours. My skin used to itch and look scaly as if I had not applied any lotion. Few body lotions are so oily that they get easily transferred to the clothes that make the clothes stink. Have you ever experienced this mixed fragrance: perfume plus body lotion? yuk.

Vaseline Total Moisture Cocoa Glow Body Lotion Review

My cousin advised me to start using Vaseline Total Moisture Cocoa. She told me about the many benefits of cocoa and immediately I decided to give it a chance. One of the most sought-after benefits of cocoa is that it helps in reducing stretch marks. With Vaseline Cocoa Glow’s regular use, the stretch marks are almost gone.

Vaseline Total Moisture Cocoa Glow Body Lotion Review

Vaseline cocoa glow body lotion comes in a flip-open tube. The body lotion is a little off-white in colour and has a yummy chocolaty fragrance. This body lotion penetrates deep inside the first layer of the skin i.e. stratum corneum and makes it look hydrated. I use it regularly after a bath and apply it firmly all over the body. There is no fear of sticking or stinking as it is oil-free and has a beautiful chocolate fragrance. This body lotion glides easily onto the skin and does not require any extra effort to spread.

As I have already mentioned usually my skin becomes scaly and starts itching, sometimes the dryness reaches to an extent where I feel that my skin is tearing out. For the first time I used this body lotion my skin felt a drastic change. It felt soft and all the dryness was gone – such a big relief :yes: My skin now looks healthy and shines out of happiness.

Vaseline Total Moisture Cocoa Glow Body Lotion Review

What I like about “Vaseline Total Moisture Cocoa Glow Body Lotion”

– I love the light chocolaty fragrance. Whenever I apply this body lotion I feel as if I am eating a chocolate. 🙂 😉

– It makes my skin feel soft, moisturized, and shining healthy.

– It does not make skin oily as it gets readily absorbed into the skin.

– It easily spreads on the skin without requiring any extra effort.

– Unlike other body lotion it doesn’t does not get transferred to your clothes.

– Does not make my clothes stink.

What I don’t like about “Vaseline Total Moisture Cocoa Glow Body Lotion”

Vaseline Total Moisture Cocoa Glow does not come in small packs. Unlike other Vaseline body lotions, Cocoa Glow does not have samples. These samples are quite handy and can be conveniently carried in the handbags.

Ingredients of “Vaseline Total Moisture Cocoa Glow Body Lotion Review”

Vaseline Total Moisture Cocoa Glow Body Lotion Review

The shelf life of “Vaseline Total Moisture Cocoa Glow body lotion” – 24 months from the date of manufacturing.

Final Word – I feel Vaseline Total Moisture Cocoa Glow Body Lotion is the best answer one can get for dry skin.

BABE Rating- 4.75/5

Y.OU Skinsational Strawberry Rose Body Scrub REVIEW

by Lina Clémence May 30, 2025

written by Lina Clémence

Y.OU Skinsational Strawberry Rose Body Scrub Review – Haloha cynt’s! Alhamdulillah kelar puasa dan lebaran, mohon maaf lahir batin ya buat teman readers semuaaa. Kemarin pas bulan puasa enakeun banget punya banyak waktu untuk luluran, soalnya jam masak diskip karena kan puasa, ya paling buat si bocil saya aja enggak ribet masakannya.

Nah, body scrub yang saya gunain terakhir dibulan puasa buat luluran Y.O.U Skinsational Strawberry Body Scrub. Ini tuh salah satu body care terbarunya brand Y.O.U yang menggiurkan banget di IG official, difotonya kayak Ice Cream, cukup membuat saya tertarik banget-banget waktu itu hahaha…

Y.O.U Skinsational Strawberry Rose Body Scrub Review. Y.OU Cosmetics, Y.O.U Skincare, Y.O.U Body Care, Body Scrub, lulur lokal, Body scrub lokal, body scrub Y.O.U, Body scrub mencerahkan

Coba menahan rasa ingin jajan, melihat harganya yang bisa saya bilang untuk luluran mahal yah dibanding lulur yang saya sering purchase saat ini. Harga official belom diskon Rp 95.000 dengan isi 250g ogah deh. Akhirnya nemunya di oshop langganan saya jadi Rp 68.000 mayan khan… ya…walaupun menurut saya pribadi masih ngerasa mahal segitu juga, tapi saya mikirnya

“Gapapa coba deh, kalau bagus lanjut beli lagi…kalau biasa aja, ya cukup sampai disini…” #Eaaa

PACKAGING
Kemasan Y.O.U Skinsational Strawberry Rose Body Scrub ini berupa pot berwarna soft pink yang agak meninggi keatas, enggak mbulet kayak kebanyakan lulur yang saya sering temuin di swalayan deket rumah. Kali pertama beli dia tersegel plastik diseluruh badan kemasan, jadi pastinya jauh lebih aman dan higienis.

[BACA JUGA] : Emina Squeeze Me Up Lip Matte REVIEW ( Semua Shade!)

Dia tutupnya diulir, dan yang menarik banget. pas saya buka tutupnya, taraaaa….dapet spatula buat nyendok body scrub. Wah keren! baru kali ini sih body scrub lokal terniat. Udah gitu dia ada pembatas antara tutup utama dan isi produk, jadi kalau kebolak-balik enggak takut bocor atau tumpah. Lebih berasa higiensi, good job Y.O.U !

Nah untuk keterangan produk, dijelasin dibagian badan kemasannya kayak ingredients utamanya yaitu :

Strawberry : Mencerahkan dan meratakan warna kulit.

Rose: Menenangkan dan menghidrasi kulit.

Sweet Almond Oil : Menutrisi kulit.

0% Alcohol

Dan deskripsi lainnya seperti manufacture, imported by, nomor BPOM, Netto, Barcode produk dan masa kadaluarsa yang ada dibawah pekejingnya. Plus cara penggunaan produk body scrub.

SCENT

Jadi Y.O.U Skinsational Body Scrub ini ngeluarin 2 varian, Coffee Cocoa dan Strawberry Rose. Tapi yang saya beli cuma satu varian Strawberry Rose, dan wanginya mengingatkan saya akan permen sugus strawberry. Anak tahun 90’an pasti tau permen sugus wkwkwk…

Aromanya manis. Gara-gara aromanya yang manis dan didukung tekstur juga warna yang menggiurkan, saya iseng icip, sumvah penasaran banget! asin guys ternyata hahaha.

TEXTURE

Awalnya saya kira teksturnya bakalan kayak body scrub pada umumnya, kayak Purbasari misalnya. Ternyata enggak. Tekstur Y.O.U Skinsational Body Scrub ini lebih ke salt scrub cream,wow! Alhamdulillahnya enggak yang kecewa, karena salah perkiraan tentang tekstur scrub. Malah semakin penasaran sama hasil, soalnya ini kali pertama cobain tipe tekstur salt scrub yang creamy. Pernah dulu punya salt scrub tapi bener-bener yang persis garem banget yang ada didalam plastik. Jadi pas mau digunain, kitanya sendiri harus basahi biar si salt scrubnya gampang digosokan di badan.

Pas saya aplikasikan di kulit, butiran scrub ini kayak garam halus tapi basah dan ada butiran biji strawberry, berasa banget dan banyak merata. Karena butiran scrubnya terbuat dari garam, otomatis pas diaplikasiin dikulit terasa kasar. Mungkin dibeberapa orang yang sensitif kulitnya bakal ngerasain agak sakit yah. Cuma kalau di saya yang suka butiran scrub yang berasa, enggak apa-apa selama enggak sampai perih kulitnya.

Kenapa saya bilang enggak sakit body scrub ini. Soalnya teksturnya agak basah dan creamy, jadi pas penggosokan di badan, cepat merata keseluruh permukaan kulit dan digosoknya lancar enggak keset. Kulit saya pun jadi masih nyaman walau si teksturnya ini bisa dibilang kasar, karena berupa salt scrub.

[BACA JUGA] : REVIEW Emina Body Scrub – All Variant

Nah ini sebagai contoh guys, ceritanya anggap aja lip cream dan eyeliner yang saya aplikasiin ditangan ini daki yang melekat di tubuh haha… Nah saya diamin sampai kering dulu itu lipcream dan eyelinernya. Saya aplikasiin body scrub, dan di gosok seperti luluran biasanya. Hasilnya bersih! cuma sisa lip cream waterproof sedikitt.

Apa lagi daki kita yang enggak gitu pekat, otomatis bersihnya total juga kalau lulur dengan body scrub ini.

Ketika saya gosokan. Butiran scurb ini mengikat kotoran di kulit, tapi enggak ngebulir yang sampe jatuh-jatuh gitu lho. Ngerti kan ya bulir-bulir scrub gitu. Jadi tetap stay dikulit dalam bentuk butiran garam yang ngebaur, cuma warnanya lebih butek, karena kotoran kulit dan sel kulit mati.

HASIL AKHIR Y.O.U SKINSATIONAL STRAWBERRY ROSE BODY SCRUB

Hasilnya saya suka banget! Soalnya enggak tau kenapa, lulur pake tekstur kayak gini ngerasa, proses luluran saya 2 kali lebih cepet! Jadi pas digosokan dibadan tuh, kayak yang cepet gitu prosesnya, enggak pake nunggu cream dari body scrub mengering segala untuk ngehilangin sensasi basah body scrub biar ngerontokin dakinya gampang. Cukup digosok dirasa merata, udah, bilas.

Dan pas proses bilasnya enggak lama buat ngilangin kesan licin dari residu body scrubnya. Biasanya saya harus bilas dibantu sabun mandi, kalau sekedar pake air ngebilas, bisa lamaaa…banget licinnya hilang. . Kalau Y.O.U Skinsational Strawberry Rose Body Scrub ini enggak, cukup mandi bilas air aja, udah! berasa bersih TOTAL! kesan licin hilang. LUV Bangett! sama finishnya cepet dan bikin kulit halus.

Hasilnya dikulit berasa bersih total, halus mulus, garis tekstur kulit lebih kesamar/ngeblur kulit keliatan berasa cantiks. Dan lumayan ada efek lebih cerahnya juga.

Sayangnya, untuk wanginya, setelah selesai luluran enggak semerbak pas baru diaplikasiin dikulit. Jadi agak semu gitu wanginya, enggak gitu berasa. Ada sih ada. Cuma enggak yang begitu greget wanginya kayak diawal. Dan kurang awet pula wanginya, enggak kayak Dewi Sri Spa Body scrub yang sudah saya gunakan, awetnya bisa lama banget seharian, yang penasaran reviewnya bisa klik link dibawah ini ya…

[BACA JUGA] : REVIEW Dewi Sri Spa Virgin Coconut Oil

LIKE

– Gampang ditemuin di toko kosmetik atau swalayan, karena brand Y.O.U udah banyak tersebar.

– Kemasannya rapi banget, ada spatula dan tutup dalam, bikin kemasan anti tumpah-tumpah.

– Sensasi pas ngebilas kulit terasa halus mulus!

– Bilasnya 2x lebih cepat residu licinnya hilang, dan enggak usah repot pake sabun lagi. Cukup bilas air, udah bersih total!

– Proses luluran jauh lebih cepat selesainya.

– Tekstur petak-petak dikulit saya jadi lebih samar.

– Bikin kulit kerasa halus, mulus, dan kelihatan lebih cerah.

– Scrubnya ngangkat kotoran dikulit secara total!

DISLIKE

– Harga agak mahal menurut saya pribadi.

– Wanginya enggak sewangi diawal pas lagi diaplikasikan, semu-semu jadi kurang berasa, dan cepet hilang juga, enggak bertahan lama wanginya.

RATING 8,5 dari 10

Kesimpulan saya, yang suka dengan tipe butiran scrub kasar. Saya suka, enggak bikin perih kulit walau butirannya kasar. Berasa banget bersihnya total habis pake body scrub ini. Hasilnya pun sudah masuk kategori hasil yang saya inginkan dari sebuah body scrub, kayak berasa halus mulus, dan tekstur kasar ngeblur. Kalau untuk cerahin itu, bonus. Cuma untuk body scrub ini cerahnya biasa, cerah kayak kulit bersih aja.

Dan kaseringan saya males luluran itu, karena susah hilangin licin sama harus ngediemin body scrub, biar agak ngeset dikit, buat bikin butirannya mengikat kotoran kulit dulu.HasilnyaY.O.U ini kan dua kali lebih cepat dibilas, enggak pake nunggu-nunggu, cocok buat mak emak kaya saya.

Gimana nih manteman beauty, tertarik dengan body scrub Y.O.U Skinsational Strawberry Rose ini? Atau malah pengen cobain varian coffeenya? atau punya rekomendasi body scrub andalan, boleh dong di share dikomentar bawah ^_^

MERIT Beauty Retrospect L’Extrait de Parfum Review

MERIT Beauty Retrospect L'Extrait de Parfum Review

It has taken we a while to get around to reviewing the MERIT Beauty Retrospect L’Extrait de Parfum but I am really glad I now have. Here is everything you need to know.

What is MERIT Beauty Retrospect?

A highly concentrated extrait de parfum

Contains almost 30% fragrance oil

Promises pure, long-lasting wear for over 12 hours

Developed in Paris using the highest quality natural and safe synthetic extracts

Packaging is inspired by modernist jewelry

Available in a full size and a travel size

The Notes

Top notes – Bergamot, Pear, Ambrette, Aldehydes

Heart notes – Jasmine, Rose, Rosemary, Violet, Orris

Bottom notes – Vanilla, Musk, Moss

My Review

It’s always an intriguing moment when a beauty brand steps into the world of fragrance, particularly one with MERIT’s minimalist, elevated aesthetic. Their debut scent, Retrospect L’Extrait de Parfum, is not only a thoughtful extension of the brand but I think a beautifully articulated statement of who they are.

From the very first spritz, Retrospect got my attention. The opening is a crisp, pear with aldehydes but isn’t overly fruity which I appreciate. Instead, it feels refined and atmospheric with a clean and airy vibe that evokes vintage glamour.

As the scent evolves on the skin, it softens into a smooth, musky iris and orris blend. I’m a big fan of those violet types of notes. This is where Retrospect begins to feel nostalgic in a real Margiela Lipstick On kind of way. There’s something comfortingly familiar here with the suggestion of a powder compact, a traditional face cream or old school lipstick. It’s a bit like a hug.

Though the drydown is floral and musky, it’s never heavy or cloying. Violet and rose make it feel grown up, while rosemary adds a green, almost herbal brightness that keeps it feeling modern.

There are clear echoes of skin scents like Glossier You but I think MERIT Beauty Retrospect distinguishes itself with a more layered, structured composition. It’s less minimalist and has more depth. Still probably what many would call a skin scent with perhaps more texture and dimension.

In terms of performance, it wears closer to the skin but lasts far longer than I expected it to. I think it will open up more on warmer days and I think that’s when the compliments will come. I spritzed it at a shoot and everyone had a sniff. It got very positive feedback.

MERIT Beauty Retrospect Fragrance Packaging

Visually, the packaging is as considered as the fragrance itself. The navy box is elegant, the bottle has weight and presence, and while the cap can be a little awkward, it still feels luxurious and appropriate for what’s inside.

Final thoughts:

Retrospect is a compelling and quietly confident fragrance. It doesn’t rely on volume or sweetness to make its mark and instead, it draws you in with its composure and its subtle sensuality. It feels like a lovely memory. It’s warm, feminine, familiar yet still modern. For lovers of iris, powdery musks, and fragrances that sit close to the skin, this is a worthy addition to the collection.

Where to buy it

MERIT Beauty Retrospect L’Extrait de Parfum is £79 for 30ml and £30 for 9.5ml, available now via the links below:
