NIVEA Body UV Whitening Serum SPF 25++

Today, I would like to introduce to you the body lotion that I'm using during the day. I'm sure all of you have seen this before and there's tonnes of review online on this product. Some even did the 14 days challenge. Personally, I think that we are not in a controlled atmosphere so it's hard to give an accurate result. We're exposed to different level and time period of sunlight everyday. It might be sunny day, it might be a rainy day, it might be because I stayed home today...well, you get my idea. And it's already clinically proven that this product is able to make your skin look more radiant and fair in 14 days.

Overall, everyone likes this product, including my mum and I.

今天要给大家介绍的是我每天早上洗澡后的必用品。大家对它应该不会很陌生吧！而且网上也有很多点评。有些blogger甚至尝试了14天的试验。我个人认为这样的试验结果是不准确的，因为我们的环境素质不受控制。 我们的皮肤每天吸收到的阳光是不定的。今天可能是晴天，也可能是雨天，也可能今天觉得心情不好，只想呆在家里，那就不会接触到太多的紫外线了。而且已经有临床试验证实这产品是可以让肌肤在14天内变得更白皙、明亮，我们有何必多此一举呢？
我读过了不少点评，大家都对它赞不绝口。我妈和我也很喜欢它。

Nivea Body UV Whitening Serum SPF25 PA++

This product is different from the other body lotion because it's a serum. Everyone knows that serum is more concentrated and the molecules are smaller so it's easier to penetrate into our skin. Also, it is jam packed with many active ingredients to improve the skin color. From the picture below, you can see that it's enriched with Licorice, Hydra IQ, red seaweed, Camu-camu and 95% anti-oxidant PURE Vitamin C derivatives. It's a pretty powerful whitening product I would say.

这产品的不同之处就是它不是一般的护肤乳，而是精华液。大家都知道精华液的成份比较高，分子也比较小，所以很容易渗透皮肤真层。此外，它含有丰富的活性成份，包括：甘草、Hydra IQ、红海藻、卡姆卡姆和95%纯正抗氧化维他命C。 它们本身的功效已经是不得了了，现在Nivea还把它们加在一起。这产品的功效可是非常的强大。 

Ingredients of Nivea Body UV Whitening Serum 

I'm half way through the bottle now but I didn't use it everyday. I'm too lazy to apply body products. I have very fair skin, almost as fair as anyone can be. So, the difference between before and after was not very obvious. Before I started using this body serum, I realized that my skin was slowly darkening from the daily sun expose. After using this, I noticed that my skin is not darkening anymore. It is almost the same shade as the inner part of my hand. Our inner part of the hand, our bottom and inner part of the thigh are the parts that are least exposed to the sun. So, they are the fairest compared to the other parts of our body. I know the photos are not really helping but you still can see that there's some difference. The inner part is fairer and the outer is darker and slightly more yellowish. But for my mum, the result is very obvious because she's tan.

我已经用了大半罐了。不过，其实我没有每天用。 有时觉得懒懒的。我天生就有非常白皙的皮肤，白的程度相信已经是人类极点。哈哈。。。 也因为这样，在我开始使用前和现在都没有很明显的差别。可是，之前还没开始用的时候，我发觉皮肤渐渐地变得暗淡，是因为每天都接触到阳光。然后，用了这产品之后，我发觉皮肤已经没有在继续地变黑了。在以下图里，大家可看到我的手的内侧和外侧几乎是同样色调的。虽然不是很明显，可是还是可以看到外侧是稍微黑一些，也带点黄。我们的手和大腿内侧是所有身体部位当中最白的部分，因为很少机会接触到阳光。我妈的情况就比较明显。她的肤色比较黑，所以用后有很大的差别。 

Comparison of the inner & outer part of my hand

There's one major thing I like about this product is the scent. It is infused with citrus scent. It almost over up the sunscreen chemical smell which I hate. After I apply it, I just skip perfume because the scent is pretty long lasting and it's refreshing. 
It's priced at RM19.90/200ml. It's a pretty decent bargain considering that it's very effective. I'll definitely repurchase this. You should get one too!  

还有， 我很喜欢它那清香的橘子味，几乎把防晒成份的化学味给改掉了。 我通常擦了它就不会再擦香水。 它的味道还瞒持久的。 

产品的售价是RM19.90/200ml， 简直是物超所值。我一定会再买的，你也应该来一瓶！

CLINELLE Eye Bright

Sorry that we're slacking lately.  Life has been a bitch! Oh well, life gotta go on...So today I'll be reviewing the Clinelle's Eye Bright. Clinelle's products are made in France. I did some research online and found out that they are from Asia. So I suspect this is another OEM (Original equipment manufacturer) which means a lab creates the formula then allow company sell it under their brand name. Clinelle emphasizes on fragrant free, artificial coloring free, mineral oil free, comedogenic ingredient free and lanolin free. Sounds good right? 

Well, it sounds good in words. This is the very first eye cream that I bought. I bought it because the sales lady there said it was good and a few of her customers come back to repurchase this product...bla...bla...bla... Come to think about it, the lady was only stationed there for a few weeks. How can she have returning customers? Oh well! At least I'm sharing this so that you guys won't make the same mistake that I did. 

最近上载的评论开始有点怠慢了，真的很抱歉！最近都不是很顺，不过也不能怎样。哎，生活重得过啊！。。。今天要给大家讲评的是Clinelle 的 Eye Bright。 从包装上显示，Clinelle 的产品是在法国制成的。我就上网查证以下，发觉Clinelle 原来是从亚洲来的。我觉得应该是一个来自亚洲的公司采用了法国原始制造品，以它们的商标售卖给大众。他家的产品是很注重无香精、无人造色素、无精油、无粉刺刺激性成分、无羊毛脂。听起来应该很不错对吧？
可惜，它就只是纸上谈兵。它是我第一支眼霜。我当时买它是因为销售员说它很好卖，又很多顾客都回来再买它。可是回想起来时觉得不对啊！那位销售员只是在那儿站岗几星期而已，又怎么会有熟客呢？算了！至少我现在可以和大家分享，好让大家不会像我一样犯同样的错误。

Clinelle Eye Bright

After a few months of using this, I see no different to my eye. The dark circles, the wrinkles...they are still there. Apparently I'm not the only one who find this product useless. I mentioned this product to Jeannie the other day and she agreed with me that this product does not do any good.

用了几个月后，我发觉一点效果都没有。我的黑眼圈、皱纹。。统统都在。后来才发觉原来不是只有我一个人觉得它没用。早前我偶然中向Jeannie 提起了这产品，她也同意我的看法。

Clinelle Line-d!

From the picture above you can see that the product is cream based and I think it's a bit too heavy for the eye. It's not too oily. For application, you only need 2 little drop. A little of this product goes a long way. It also leaves a smooth feeling on the skin. 

从照片上可看到产品是膏状的。我觉得对眼部有点太沉重。它不会太油腻。其实产品的用量也不需太多，只需两小滴就够了。擦了以后，感觉皮肤滑滑的。

Oh ya! Another reason that lured me to give this product a try is that it's cheap. Normal price is only RM45.90 and Watsons always have sales. It's only RM39.02 currently. 

还有，我当时决定买它来试是因为它很便宜。普通售价是RM45.90。 Watsons 也常常有大减价。现在只售RM39.02。

BIO-ESSENCE Bird's Nest Nutri-Collagen Whitening Advancer

I can't remember how many bottles I had used it since I found this product 3 years ago. 

This is one of my favourite products from Bio-Essence as it is "user friendly" and work best with any skincare product as a booster to enhance the absorption and maximize the benefits of the ingredients. 

三年前, 我找到了它。从此就一直在用它。自己也不记得用过了多少瓶。 在众多产品当中, 它可是我的最爱。因为它很方便, 不单只可以和任何护肤品混合在一起, 而且效果都一样好。 它就像是个加强器, 将护肤品里的养分都给加强了。

How it works? After cleansing, gently massage an adequate amount onto your face and neck until fully absorbed. It is best used either as a toner or apply together with your current skincare (day or night cream). 

产品的用法很简单! 洗完脸后, 将少许的产品挤出, 轻轻地在脸和颈部上按摩, 直到产品被吸收完为止。 最好是把它充当收缩水或是和日/晚霜一起擦。 

The key ingredient definitely is the bird's nest. For more than a thousand years, bird's nest has been the most expensive animal product consumed by human race for its benefits such as aiding digestion, alleviating asthma, raising libido (which indirectly helps to promote nicer complexion) and it also helps with collagen production to increase elasticity while maintaining youthful skin. As the main ingredient in this product,  its high concentration of anti-oxidant and richness of amino acids helps to fight aging skin by promoting cell growth. It also contains Hyaluronic Acid and Ginseng to keep my skin hydrated, nourished and promotes fairer, healthier complexion. 

I would said this is a must-try product and can be found at major healthcare store at RM59.90.

这奇妙的产品是以燕窝为主要成分。从古致今, 燕窝是最昂贵的。原因是它功效广多; 包括援助消化、减轻哮喘、增加性欲(有间接性的美颜效果) 、加强原胶蛋白的生产量以保持有弹性的年轻肌肤。 燕窝也含有大量的抗氧成分及氨基酸, 所以可促进细胞的成长率以达到抗老的功效。 除此之外, 产品当中也添加了玻尿酸和人参。所以擦了之后, 皮肤水嫩嫩的, 色调也变得健康、亮丽。 

这可说是一个必试的美容产品! 在各大超市只售RRM59.90。

Sharing is caring,

Jeannie

BIO-ESSENCE Tanaka White Double Whitening Cream SPF 20

Many lazy women love moisturizers with sunscreen because it's easy and fast. Well, me too!
懒女人都喜欢有防晒功能的滋润霜。我也不例外！

Bio-essence Tanaka White Double Whitening Cream SPF20 

I've been using Tanaka White Double Whitening Cream for a couple mo nths now. It has served me well. No breakout. No sticky or oily feeling. And my face is fairer now. However,  there's one thing I dislike about the product,  which is its thick texture. It makes it harder to apply evenly onto the skin and it feels sticky especially in hot and humid weather. I know SPF 20 is not exactly sufficient for our daily routine but it's good enough if your have a 9 to 5 desk job.

我用了Bio-essence的Tanaka White Double Whitening Cream已经几个月了。

感觉很好。没有生痘痘、不会油、也不会黏黏的。我的脸也白了。

 唯一不喜欢它的一点就是产品太厚重了。很难平均地擦在脸上。而且马来西亚的天气都很热, 流汉了会黏黏的。其实只有SPF20是不够的。可是如果你长时间都在室内的话, 是足够的。

The product's main ingredient is extracted from Thanaka Tree, also known as Elephant Apple Tree, which is a tradisional beauty secret of Burmese women. It protects the skin from UV rays and slows the aging process. It also leaves the skin smoother and cooler. 

这产品的主要成分是从Thanaka树提炼出来的, 是缅甸女人专用的传统美容秘方。它可以保护我们的皮肤不被紫外线破坏, 蔓延老化, 也让皮肤光滑 、凉爽。

TIP: Mix the whitening cream with Bio-essence's Bird's Nest Nutri-collagen & Whitening Advancer

Retail price is RM59.90.

TIP: Because of its thick texture, I'll usually mix it with Bio-Essence's Bird Nest Nutri-collagen & Whitening Advancer. The ratio is 1:1. After mixing both product together,  the texture becomes thinner and I can easily smooth it out onto my skin. Also, my skin can absorb the nutrient from the product better.

We'll be doing a separate review on the Advancer soon. So, stay tuned! 

提示：因为产品的质感很厚，不易推开。所以，我会以一比一的对比和Bio-Essence 的 Bird Nest Nutri-collagen & Whitening Advancer混合在一起。质感会变的比较稀，容易擦，也容易被皮肤吸收。
