so, can we share on what we use/have?

I notice Vichy products have alcohol though the hydrating care absorbs fast into the skin but don't know if it is good for long term use.

Fantagf SG

I have been eyeing (eying) Dr Wu's skincare products for some time. Like the products after trying the available samples at Watsons.

I just bought 2 products from the Hydrating System: Intensive Hydrating Serum with Hyaluronic Acid and Extra Hydrating Lotion with Aqua-Collagen.

According to nu ren wo zui da, niu er strongly recommended the aqua collagen hydrating lotion or gel (?) The gel costs much more so I bought the lotion.

Will try and come back here give feedback.

I only try sample on my hand so not justifiable to rate though i kind of like it.

My only concern is alcohol may not be good for use on skin in the long run.

La poray and vichy promoter - promoter always recommend la poray products than vichy.

alfagal SG

hmm okie, noted...

btw la poray? nv heard before...any pics to show some of their products?

seems like its a good tool to maintain hyrdation of skin...anyone using it? any side effect for long term

Under same management with Vichy, brought in by Loreal. La Roche Posay is also well known for their sun block products. I am using their sunblock and loving it.

I have no pics on the products, however u can take a look at the website below:

the sample not really enough to see much
but i did not get any outbreaks or damage to my skin
so i think it's not that bad

yes, i was referring to the anti perfection hydrating range

i think she meant la roche posay lah

the toner is quite good.... very hydrating

alfagal SG

i tried vichy normaderm samples before

I was once told that alcohol is cheap that is why they include it in skincare products.

alfagal SG

hmm cheap as in..a good source of solution for the ingredients to be mixed into issit?

FireIce SG

alcohol is one of the chemical binders required in the process of manufacturing the item
it is also good at controlling oil, but actually harmful in the long run as it aids aging

The person did not elaborate on it so I don't know.

I have ever used moisturizer with alcohol in it. I tried the counter sample seemed all right, when I bought it and used at home, it is a different story. In the end, I threw away.

Fantagf SG

oh my goodness, i m using toner with alcohol!

FireIce SG

it is ok to have alcohol in items that u wash off, like cleanser
but not advisable for items u leave on ur skin or have to be absorbed, like toner, moisturiser, masks

actually, it is ok to have alcohol as long as it's not in the top few in the ingredients list

and u relli need a very significant amount of it and prolonged usage for it to have the so-called "harmful effects" on your skin.......

cassie SG

am trying out la mer for the peeling patch on my jawline. 2 nights and it seems to be working.

FireIce SG

la mer is good but $$$$$$$$$

cassie SG

la mer is good but $$$$$$$$$

i know! that's my dilemma now! it worked in hydrating and clearing the peeling skin but i can't afford it.

FireIce SG

if it works then it's worth the $$ rite?
