VMV Superskin3


Spring Cleansing Purifying Wash

Consistency is similar to cetaphil but feels richer and thicker. It does leave skin hydrated and velvety soft. Hypoallergenic so you can never go wrong. Plus the Monolaurin will disinfect and kill acne causing bacteria. A good facial wash for me that is not as expensive as Clinique which offers same hypo-allergenic philosophy.


Clyndamycin Phosphate, Retinoic Acid Toner

Clyndamycin is antibiotic used to treat acne.

Retinoic Acid is a a derivative of Vitamin A that’s used as anti-acne and prevention of signs of photoageing

Together it is found to work faster and more effective. Although both compound causes photo sensitivity so a good sunblock is a must.

Overall my experience was good. Reasonably priced (I forgot though how much but definitely cheaper than Clinique, my other HG product). Heals breakouts and calms the skin from irritation and redness.

5/5

VMV Armada Face Cover 45



Claim:


Verdict:


Finally a sunblock that didn’t gave me rashes. True to its claims, weightless even on humid days, opaque finish that’s good as make-up base. Doesn’t sting when applied on, doesn’t have any scent. I didn’t developed whiteheads or blackheads. My face didn’t oil-up Others said that this gives a white cast on face, I think they’re putting a lot, It does brighten the face for me but its not an obvious white mask. They say you have to put much to really get protection. I don’t think it’s necessary for me since I use MMU that is a natural sun protection. I think the price is reasonable at P720.00


Rating: 5/5


Will I buy again? Yes, until I’ve enough courage to splurge on Shishiedo SPF50

Baptism of fire of make-up

When I was in college I suffered from acne,. My skin was so sensitive that I cannot even use johnson’s baby powder. I grew up using derma products,. My routine will be like liquid soap, astringent, acne gel and sunblock,. That’s it. Later part of college years I defray from my derma products and ventured to commercial products,. First thing I tried is ponds moisturizer,. This isn’t for me,. My skin reacted.. Then I tried nivea moisturizer,. And I loved it, no bad reactions. It moisturized my flaky skin plus it has spf,. No need for sunblock. Then I opted for the tinted one coz I really liked to be able to use make-up… Then I saw my mom’s make-up kit,। She was using VMV!॥ I wanted to tried it but she refused coz it might aggravate my skin condition॥ I was hardheaded and went on with it,। Gee, am glad I did॥ From then on I was hooked with make-up (VMV)..

Later on my skin condition normalized, though I stayed with VMV for foundie, powder and blush, I can now use other products for eye shadow, lippies and mascara!..

So what made me (again) defray from it? Look at the price, that’s my last purchase in Y2006.. pretty expensive now ha,..
