Collagen Face Masks Review

Hello there. :)
Sorry for the late reply. My exams are around the corner but before that, I want to do a review on these various collagen face masks that I bought from Qoo10 for sgd $0.59 each. Thats cheap!
Bought it from the shop called Celina Babe. She offers eye, neck, lip and bust collagen masks too. Apart from masks she sells dresses, bags, toiletries and many more. You should check it out too.

About the Masks (from the shop)
The facial mask contains mostly of pure natural extracts and collagen.
The absorption rate of this product is higher than 98%, which means that the amount of nutrients and moisture it offers is 10 times more than of ordinary facial masks, in only 10-20 minutes, the ingredients condensed on this crystal mask will be gradually dissolved under body temperature and be absorbed directly by skin cells thoroughly expanded pores, providing supplementary elements such as collagen, whitening essence.

Moisturizing factor and different kinds of vitamins, such ingredients are effective in instant an immediate soft and moisturized appearance with elasticity –four functions at the same time, if can even relieve and moderate sunburns caused by the sunbathing and laser treatment. Complete and intensive facial care in a single mask!

Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash Review

Hi there.
2 down, 1 more to go. Hehehe. I've already done the Koijc San and the Nature Republic review. Now I'm going to do a review on this disappointing product that claims to be one of the best cleanser recommended by dermatologist. There you go....

As I my acne started after I used the wrong product, I begin to go online and research for the best cleanser that is suitable for my face. The funny thing is that I didn't research further to see their bad reviews. I just Googled "best cleanser for acne skin" and this Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash official website pop out as one of the top search. So I tell myself ok, I am going to get this. Moreover it is recommended by dermatologist, so why not. The next day, after work I when to JEM Watsons and spend half and hour checking out all the acne cleanser and find that hmm, maybe Neutrogena is actually not bad. So I when ahead and purchase one bottle of it. 

I when back home so excited to try this cleanser. For the first day, everything was alright but it stings abit. The second day onwards, my both cheeks were very itch and my skin was dry. I can't stop scratching. Even at work I tried to control the itchiness but it is just too itch to control. The itchiness died down the next day but my skin was it horrible condition. Not only was it bursting out with acne, it was also rough on the cheeks. Haiz, from bad to worst. I stopped using this product and decided to use my sister's Body Shop Tea Tree Cleanser instead before purchasing anymore cleanser. After using the Tea Tree Cleanser it for afew days, I find that my pimples are being controled and decided the to buy the trial set. Hmm, I'll will do a review on that too. :)

Product

I think its less than sgd$15
Available in any major stores like Watsons, Guardian, NTUC and more.... 

Instruction
(from the package) - Use twice a day. Wet your face. Apply to your hands, add water and work into a lather. Massage your face gently and rinse thoroughly.

Conclusion
Nope. -.-
I am not gonna repurchase this product again cause of the adverse reaction that happens to my face. I am also not going to recommend this to anybody. I am surprised it is made in Korea cause I know that Korean products are good but this is not the case. However, I also see that there are positive reviews about this product so it really make or breaks you. Maybe I'm allergic to one of their ingredients, which is unlikely but do be careful when you want to try this product k.

Nature Republic Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel Review

Hello there >.<
One down and 2 more to go. I have already done with the Kojic San Cleasner+Toner review and today, I am going to do a review on Ta-dah!

One tub for lots and lots of uses.

And yes, I loveee this product. :D

Aloe Vera has 101 uses from treating your sunburnt skin to a make up base. It really has a lot of uses. I'll list down what I usually use the gel for below,

1. Treating sunburn.
It acts as a protective layer on the skin and helps replenish its moisture and the skin will heal faster.

2.As a moisturizer.
Moisturizes the skin without giving it a greasy feel, good for oily skin.

3. Acne Treatment.
Contains two hormones: Auxin and Gibberellins. Provide wound healing and anti-inflammatory properties that reduce skin inflammation. Giberellin in aloe vera acts as a growth hormone stimulating the growth of new cells. It allows the skin to heal quickly and naturally with minimal scarring.

4. Fights aging.
Contains a lot of antioxidants including, beta carotene, vitamin C and E that can help improve the skin's natural firmness and keep the skin hydrated.

And what I really love about this brand is that they have spearmint so whenever you apply the gel to any part of your skin it feels cool. Especially in our hot and humid weather. Loves :)
You can try this product if you want to but don't forget to check the ingredients first to see if you are allergic to anyone of them. One thing to take note, they have alcohol so if you are allergic or sensitive to alcohol based products I think its best for you to stay way from this product.

Product
Made in Korea
I thinks its less than sgd $5 cause I bought it from Korea and they are having a sale. :)

Conclusion
I would definitely purchase this product again. >.<
You have also purchase it from qoo10. If you got any questions about this product, ask me at the comment section below. Thank you. :)
