July 28, 2018 Nurul Aida Aziz 10 Comments


Assalamualaikum and heyy guyss! 

We almost reach the end of July and time sure flies fast, huh? Just another few more months to enter 2019 but I'm sure I will stay busy with lots of things for sure ahahaha.

Anyway, as for this time, I'm back for another skincare review that I have procrastinated a really long time due to my lack of time and even if I have such a little time, I spend it up with relaxing around because I'm too tired to write anything out hahaha.

(p/s : As for anyone who has ever been wondering ; 'What the heck is this girl has been busy for?'. The answer is I'm neither working nor further study, but I'm a 24/7 'housewife' and a babysitter and by that means that I'm handling all the things inside the house including taking care both of my younger siblings as both of my parents are working. I need to prepare breakfast, I need to send them to schools and there's a lot more household chores that I need to be done. That's all and thank you for coming to my ted talks.)

Okay. Shall we proceed to the review? Let's go!

Product's Texture


This hydrating toner is just like the other toner which is watery and very light compared to Hydrating Lotion (Rich) and Premium Hydrating Lotion which is quite thick and essence-like plus it really does absorb fast. I don't have to wait for a long time for the product to penetrate into my skin. I just dab the product a few times and voila, done! It might be tacky and sticky at first but when it fully absorb in your skin, you will get a smooth and supple skin without the tackiness especially for those oily skin's folks.

Product's Packaging



Comes in a 170ml transparent squeezable plastic bottle with flip top cap so you don't need to worry if you ever drop it plus you won't ever lose the cap since it is not a twisted cap hahaha. Easy to dispense and most importantly, you can see the amount of the product left as it is a transparent bottle.

How To Use?

✿ Use twice a day after double cleansing (if you're using exfoliating toner like me, use this toner before ET or you can either use this toner after ET differs to your preference)
✿ Apply on palms or you can also use with cotton pad and gently pat onto skin until thoroughly absorbed.



Does it Work for Me?

This product came in a set along with the Hydra & Whitening Face Wash and Hydrating Water Gel that I bought during my first skincare haul. Honestly said, this products is absolutely a game changer in my skincare routine and really helps my dehydrated skin a lot! 

When you're skin is dehydrated, your skin is actually lack of water and it will create more oil to make up for the missing water hence your skin can feel oily and dry at the same time. That is what actually happening to me which I have combination to oily skin. 

And when you're having such a great amount of  oil at your skin, the excess oil will trapped in the pore and combine with the dead skin cells and bacteria on the surface of the skin and inside the pore, pimples, blackheads and other blemishes will form. 

So, to overcome this problem, you can try to find product that contains humectants (ingredients that draws water molecules out of its environment towards itself which means it will draws water to your skin to retain its natural moisture) such as Hyaluronic Acid, Glycerin, Sodium Lactate, Urea, Lactic Acid, Sorbitol and Butylene Glycol.


So, back to our topic, this is my HOLY GRAIL product that has actually works wonder for my skin. My skin is no longer combination to oily but more to normal to oily. I did not expect that my skin really loves Hyaluronic Acid and I'm already on my second bottle! It has been almost 4 months since the first day I started to use this product and the results are absolutely amahzing and I can see the result 1-2 months after using this product. Can't believe that my skin has fully recovered from those excessive oil and I can't being grateful enough!

Plus, according to Kak Mai, HYDRATION IS THE KEY! 
Before you tackle your acne problem with dozens of acne treatments, I suggest you to hydrate your skin first as if your skin is fully hydrated, you won't be having the serious acne problems unless if you are struggling with PIH/PIE because you still need extra treatment besides hydration [read here how to remove PIH/PIE acne scars]




Pros :

✿ Fast absorption
                            ✿ Really hydrate my skin                               
✿ Does not has any weird smell
✿ Made my skin smooth and supple
✿ A little drops goes a long way (mine last up to 3-4 months)

Cons :

✿ Quite pricey
✿ Contains paraben so if you're allergic to paraben, you might need to avoid trying this product

Final Rating :

★★★★★/5

1: BAD!

4: GREAT!
[A really great product that works amazing on me but has a potential for me to cheat]

5: AMAHZING!
[A complete HOLY GRAIL product and I will devoted myself to you till the end of my life!]

Where to Buy?

✿ Buy it from the drugstores all around Malaysia such as Watsons/Guardian
✿ Buy it online through Shopee/Lazada/11street from the official stores of Watsons/Guardian

Repurchase/Recommended?

Repurchase: ABSOLUTELY YESS!
Recommended: YES! For those with oily/combination skin, I guarantee you that this product will work wonder on you unless if you have any allergic to Hyaluronic Acid or any other ingredients in the product because I have read it at twitter that this product doesn't work for some people. So make sure you patch test the product before you decide to use it for the long term.

    1. Maybe your skin can't tolerate well with Hyaluronic Acid :( Some people even said they have acne/bumps after using this so you might need to check the ingredients tolerance on your skin because I'm pretty sure there's some ingredients in this products that you can't tolerate well ;)

  6. Great review! ill have to add this product to my "wishlist" lol. idk if you know but im pretty sure that if you live in a very dry area humectants can actually draw moisture *out* of your skin itself if the air is very dry. so if you live in a very dry climate humectants might be counter productive. that wont affect everyone but i think its good to know.
