Healthy and Beautiful Skin with MEDICODE

 Hi lovely readers, it has been quite a while since my last update here. Well, can I say that I'm glad to be back! 
Life has been super busy these days, hence my disappearance here... And if you are following me on my IG you would know that I'm also a lot less active recently... because #adulting. T.T
Anyway, this time I'm back because I absolutely need to share my latest beauty find with y'all. 
MEDICODE!
MEDICODE seek to revolutionise the way we treat and care for our skin. They see the future of skincare as being interlinked with the development of modern technologies and treatments that enable key ingredients to penetrate deep into the epidermal layer of the skin. All products are made in Singapore (yay!) and backed by clinical research and development. Their airless bottle design helps to maintain the active ingredients' integrity and allows the formula to be free from unnecessary preservative, ensuring maximum efficacy of their products.

Currently with 6 products available in their line, I've decided to try out these 4: 
Comedones Essence, Ultra Hydrating Serum, Oil-Free Hydra Cream annd Intensive Rich Eye Cream


A natural formulation with over 10 botanical extracts, anti-bacterial complex and nano-encapsulation technology to help reduce the appearance of our pores, blackheads and whiteheads. 
I NEED.


This essence is super lightweight and watery in texture, that literally gets absorbed by the skin immediately. Definitely a plus point when you're short of time for your daily morning skincare routine, yes? Who has got the time to wait for your essence to "set" before layering on the serum/moisturiser? Definitely not me! 


Available in 30ml or 60ml, this ultra hydrating and anti-aging serum is able to penetrate deep into our skin. Based on smart-delivery nano technology, the active ingredients in the serum is highly compatible to our skin's natural composition. Not only that, this serum helps reflect UVA rays and protect our skin too! 


Just slightly more viscous as compared to the essence, this serum is still super lightweight and spreadable, gliding onto my skin effortlessly and gets absorbed readily in no time. 


A calming and anti-inflammatory oil-free cream, this product has a unique lightweight formula that provides the skin with deep hydration. It contains 4 types of Hyaluronic acid and Polygutamic acid, which is then further enhanced with Ceramides, Collagen and Ice Plant Fermented Probiotic Lysate, giving us skin barrier repair and protection. 


Being an oily-skin girl, I always shun away from facial creams in general. But this oil-free formulation feels very lightweight and spreadable on my skin, leaving no sticky or oily feeling after the product gets absorbed. Two thumbs up! 


Containing a high level of antioxidants, this helps to improve dark circles, brighten up skin tone and prevent collagen degradation. And thanks to the innovative gold-stabilisation process, the Vitamin C absorbs more effectively into our skin. 
Containing Beautieye as one of the active ingredients, which is clinically proven to decrease 61% of drooping surface of our upper eyelids, this eye cream helps to target our sagging upper eyelids and beautify our eye contour. 


With a similar creamy-yet-not-oily texture as the Hydra Cream, a little goes a long way for this eye cream. Just a pea-size is more than enough to get my eye contour area well moisturised throughout the day/night.

NanoMD Bright [Sponsored]

And so, after trying out Dermagold's amazing New Elite Miracle C+ Serum, I'm really glad to be able to try out their newly launched skin supplement, the NanoMD Bright!

The NanoMD Bright is the world's newest and most advanced supplement for skin protection, nutrition and brightening. It represents the cutting-edge scientific discovery in the nutrition and nano technology in a one-tablet-a-day form. Although topical lotions provide an essential protection of the outer layers of your skin, this exciting new pill can do what no topical cosmetic skin agent can: improve the deeper structure of your skin
-www.mynanomd.com-

Sounds really amazing, right?
With ingredients such as Pygnogenol, Tomato Phytoconcentrate and L-cysteine, NanoMD Bright helps to brighten our skin tone, reduces pigmentation and improves our overall skin texture from within. Its nano formula not only addresses pigmentation, but also provides an additional sun damage reduction and systemic photo-protection (oral sunblock, YES!), which will build up slowly over several weeks of consumption. 
The fact that NanoMD Bright comes in the form of a pill, to be ingested and not applied topically, means that we will gain years of healthy and glowing skin, not just on our face, but all over our entire body.

I personally like how the tablets come in such handy-dandy packs, which makes it so much more convenient and easier to bring out in your smallest purse. 

NanoMD Bright now retails at dermagold.sg (HERE) at $179 for 1 month's supply.

VitaRealm Anti-A.G.E. Essence [Sponsored]

After converting to team #eatclean I basically avoid added sugar like it's the bane of my existence. And do you know why? Other than the commonly known added sugar-induced health issue like tooth decay, weight gain and body inflammation, SUGAR CAUSES AGING. 

Yes, you heard it right ladies (and gentlemen).
In fact, the recommended sugar consumption each daily is only 6 teaspoons but just a harmless looking cup of pearl (boba) milk tea will burst your daily intake limit at a whopping 20.5 teaspoons! All these excess added sugar, other than adding on inches to your waistline, will also react with the collagen in our skin in a process called glycation, causing our skin to lose elasticity and volume, hence leading to development of wrinkles, fine lines and dark pigments. 

VitaRealm Anti-A.G.E. Essence contains Youth Revivial Complex, which will reverse the glycation process and fight signs of aging such as wrinkles and fine lines. In addition, the product also contains Rose Extract, which is a strong anti-oxidant, helping to strengthen our skin cells and regenerate our skin tissues, which will thus help to fight aging signs.

I like how the product comes in individual twist-cap tinted bottles, that's pretty handy if you need to bring it out with you, if you choose to drink it in the morning before breakfast instead of at night before bedtime. Taste wise, the drink is absolutely yummy with a fruity sweetness with a slight citrus tang. It'll supposedly taste even better when chilled, but on certain days which I forgot to chill mine, they ended up tasting equally good at room temperature as well.

Before (left) and After (right)

After 2 weeks of consuming the drinks every night before bedtime, I noticed that my skin looks more plump and well-hydrated. 


The fine lines around my eyes also appears to be much less obvious, making me seems a lot more refreshed and radiant. Yayy! :)

The product also comes in two other colours, Pink and Blue and here's how to choose your #mybeautycolour using these simple tips below!

First, identify your beauty colour from your skin concerns.

Blue: Dull skin tone, dry skin, uneven skin tone, dark pigments
Pink: Sensitive skin, troubled skin, acne-prone skin, acne scars, enlarged
pores
Purple: Thin and dry skin, sagging skin, wrinkles and fine lines

Then, simply choose your VitaRealm Beauty Drink based on your beauty colour!

Blue: Whitening Collagen
Helps to brighten skin, even out skin tone, lighten dark pigments
Pink: Skin Perfecting Essence
Balances sebum production, heal acne and scars
Purple: Anti-A.G.E Essence
Hydrates and firms skin, reduces sugar induced skin damages (wrinkles,
fine lines)


Each set of VitaRealm Anti-A.G.E. Essence comes in a box of 8 individual bottles, and is available at VitaRealm's online store (www.vitarealmbeauty.com) at only $39.90 (u.p. $49.90, promotion ends on 31 July) with free islandwide delivery.
Also available at all Watson's stores at the discounted price of $39.90 for a limited time only!

Another wonderful product from Althea Exclusive line, the Milk Peel Cream Mask contains AHA & BHA to help exfoliate dead skin for smoother skin, and at the same time contains Casein Protein (milk) to provide moisture to the skin and help our skin stays moisturised all day!

#3

Petal Velvet Set - $17.10
(Sunaway and Velvet Powders are selling separately at $13 and $6 respectively)

Armed with the highest sun protection of SPF 50+ and PA++++, the Petal Velvet Sunaway is made to be ultra lightweight on our skin.

This pretty base also contains illuminating sapphire and pearl pigments that give the complexion a gorgeously radiant glow. 
Sounds amazing, right?

#7

I'm pretty sure this world's best-selling sleeping mask needs no further introduction. This is probably THE product that gained Laneige most of its ardent fans. 
With 1 sold every 12 secs, this light gel mask provides intensive hydration, vitality and brightening effect while restoring skin with deep relaxation. This product contains a number of patents including the SLEEP-TOX™ technology that purifies skin during sleep, keeping it in optimum condition while MOISTURE WRAP™ helps skin retain moisture throughout the night.

Made from 92% Aloe Vera gel, Nature Republic Aloe Vera Soothing Gel is enriched with vitamins and can be used for just about anything, from soothing sunburns to hydrating the skin and hair in the form of a mask, to an everyday moisturizer for supple skin. The aloe vera used to make this product comes from certified organic farmers in California (CCOF) and is kind to even the most sensitive of skins, making this suitable for all skin types. 

#9
Laneige Wild at Heart My Neon Sign Stained Glasstick - $28

Coming in Neon Pink or Neon Orange, this is Laneige's 2018 Limited Edition Holiday Collection, so grab yours before they're gone! It's a glowy tint lipstick that gives us the watery, stained glass lip makeup look. The festive, cute packaging is definitely the cherry on top! 

#10

RiRe Bubble Bubble Lip Mask - $9.50

Last but not least, I've decided to add a lip mask into my top 10 list, for lip care still seems to be always neglected! This hypoallergenic, innovative lip scrub foams up after moments and gently exfoliates away dead skin cells using fruit enzymes so you won't have to worry about accidentally scrubbing too hard. It also helps moisturize any dry patches, so you'll be left with smooth, kissable lips that are prepped to take on any lipstick you desire.

So, what are your thoughts of my Althea top 10 wishlist/recommendation? Have you tried any of these ten products before? Let me know your experience with these products down at the comment board below!

Althea x Get It Beauty Real Fresh Skin Detoxers [Advertorial]


-credits to sg.althea.kr-

A while back, I've raved on IG about these Althea Real Fresh Skin Detoxers, a 10-second, 2-in-1 cleanser pack that showcases real, fresh ingredients and incorporates them into a system that allows a deep & clarifying cleanse while boosting the skin's health with nutrients and goodness. Available in two editions, the Rose (recommended for morning regime, made with French rose petals + extracts to refine skin) and Green Tea (recommended for night regime, contains Juju green tea leaves + extracts to purify skin) both help to leave our skin feeling fresh and smooth for a healthy complexion! 

I'm totally loving these two products (especially the green tea edition) as it makes masking so quick and convenient! You just need 10 seconds, and it miraculously changes into your facial cleanser, can you get anything better than that? And even though it's a purifying mask that helps to gently exfoliate our skin, it doesn't dry out the skin even with daily usage and instead, leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth after every use. 

And do you know, this amazing range of product is a successful collaboration between Althea and Get It Beauty, Korea's top Beauty TV show, and even Jeonghwa, member of the popular K-POP girl group EXID, is also a fan of the product!



Now, you can get this Real Fresh Skin Detoxer Set (150ml x 2) at only $25 with FREE SHIPPING using the promo code PBSHIP for a limited time only!
Check out HERE for more information!

Dermagold's New Elite Miracle C+ Serum [Sponsored]


It's been a good three years ago when I first tried Dermagold's Miracle C+ Serum (read my review HERE) and I'm so glad to find out that Dermagold has reinvented this award-winning star product of theirs and came up with the New Elite Miracle C+ Serum!

An improved and updated version of our Award-Winner Miracle C+, this is a luxurious elite high performance 18% Vitamin C Ester serum fortified with hyaluronic acid and aloe. Multi-functioning product with anti-oxidant, anti-wrinkle, anti-pigment and anti-inflammatory properties. Brightens and whitens skin.  
-credit to dermagold.sg-


The benefits of their previous award-winning Miracle C+ have been preserved in the new Elite Miracle C+, which include:

1. Anti-Oxidant
2. Anti-Wrinkle
3. Anti-Pigment (for blemishes or pigmentation)
4. Anti-Inflammatory (for sensitive or irritated skin)

So, apart from helping to control and improve on existing skin prpblems, the new Elite Miracle C+ will also help to brighten and whiten our skin with regular use, making it an all-in-one power-packed formulation that's suitable for all skin types.


The new Elite Miracle C+ still comes in a light and watery gel consistency that spreads across our skin effortlessly and gets absorbed in no time. Not only that, I've experienced an obvious improved texture in the product, that felt smooth and luxurious against my skin. The rich and velvety texture slides easily against the skin, giving a refreshing feeling after application. 
In addition, the Elite Miracle C+ is also better able to lock in moisture to the skin without making our face looking and feeling greasy!

True enough, my skin feels more hydrated and supple after applying the product, so much so that I've been skipping my night moisturizer (I only use this in my night skincare regime) these days, and yet my skin appears equally, if not more supple and moisturized the next morning. 
As I've said before, invest in skincare and not makeup, ladies. You can't go wrong with that!

Mia's Review: Bioderma Sebium Series [Sponsored]

Hey fellow oily-girlies, have you heard that Bioderma’s Sebium Range now includes two new oil-fighting products, the Sebium Lotion (toner) and Sebium Mat Control (moisturiser), both of which target the source of oily skin by biologically regulating the quality of skin’s sebum? It's not only great for oily and combination skin, but also for sensitive skin as well!
 Sound great, yes?


The latest Sebium range contains the Bioderma’s Fluidactiv™ Patent, which is the only patent in the market that biologically regulates quality of sebum similar to that of healthy skin and stops the process which causes pimples and clogged pores to form. 

There's many factors (both internal and external) that affects our skin's sebum and the top 3 are:

1. Hormones
Imbalances and changes in hormonal activity can result in the excess production of sebum and also develop risk of qualitative sebum abnormality. This may also result in having thicker sebum that has a more difficult time flowing out of the follicle, which increases the risk of clogged pores and pimples. In addition, a balanced and normal hormonal activity is important to prevent damage to skin immune system and preserve our antioxidant reserve.

2. Improper Skincare
Using skincare products that are not suitable for our skin can irritate and worsen acne-prone and oily skin. For example, the use of aggressive cleansing products can lead to skin barrier issues, pH instability and reactionary hyper-seborrhea, where skin produces even more sebum to compensate for the removal of all the sebum from skin’s surface/

3. Lifestyle
Diet and stress are some factors that can influence the production of sebum. For example, a high-glycemic diet (sugar, flour, rice etc) and high stress levels elevate hormones that increase the activity of sebaceous glands, contributing to the formation  of acne/

In a nutshell, if you're suffering from sebum-related skin issues, be patient and stick with a targeted treatment programme, using products from a dermo-cosmetic range that’s created for oily, blemish prone skin.



Bioderma Sebium Mat Control with Fluidactiv™ Patent, $36.90 for 30ml

 A daily moisturiser that provides just the right balance of shine control and hydration. It helps to effectively control excess oil, soothe skin and prevent dryness, while promising 8-hour shine control and smooth effect thanks to its Matt and Smooth Technology, which includes mattifying micro powders and silicones that help to instantly reduce shine. At the same time, this moisturiser provides 12-hour hydration with Glycerin, which keeps the skin well hydrated.
Bioderma Sebium Mat Control ensures clear complexion and smooth skin in 7 days, thanks to Zinc Gluconate and Vitamin B6 which help control shine in the long run by reducing sebum production. It also helps to minimises the appearance of large pores with Mushroom Extract’s astringent properties and refines and improves the skin’s texture with the help of Salicylic Acid.
Best of all, this can be used under make up and can even double up as a make up base!



The product is of a watery, cream-gel consistency and spreads out on the skin with no effort. Absorption into the skin takes absolutely no time to give the skin a soft and smooth, matte feeling.


Bioderma Sebium Lotion with Fluidactiv™ Patent, $33.90 for 200ml

This non-sticky toning lotion is specially formulated to soothe and treat oily skin. It is also specially formulated for Asian Skin. It contains a blend of active ingredients that helps balance skin’s pH, reduces excess oil and keeps skin hydrated. The lotion provides 8-hour lasting hydration thanks to Glycerin and regulates the skin’s pH to healthy level and limits the growth of P.acnes bacteria with Capryloyl Glycine (amino acid) Lastly, it also reduces sebum production and has anti-bacterial properties with the help of Zinc Gluconate and Vitamin B6, help to gently exfoliates and refines skin’s texture with Salicylic Acid and tightens our pores thanks to astringent properties of Mushroom Extract.


And there, my no make up, no filter face (with super messy hair, HAH!) looks absolutely shine-free even after more than 8 hours while using the Sebium series!

The most annoying thing with having oily face is the fact that your glasses just keeps slipping off your nose once the oil starts building up (in as short as 2 to 3 hours after washing my face) but while on the Sebium series, my face remains shine-free throughout the entire day until I ended my day with a good gym workout!

The Bioderma Sebium Series will be available islandwide from 1 June 2018 onwards, with a Guardian exclusive promotion of Buy 1 Get 2nd Item at 50% Off!

Still loving their luxurious and comfortable treatment rooms and super soft comforter covers. HEH!

And to better see the true effects of the treatment (just after 1 session), here's my face after running the treatment over half of my face. 
Behold my super lopsided face! 
I think I need not even tell you on which side of my face the treatment was done first, yes? 

The entire session was pretty quick and fuss-free. It took me merely 1.5 hours to leave the salon with a smaller and firmer looking face, with a quick extraction, face & shoulder massage, face mask and all! 

And yup, I wore my favourite kaonashi tee out for the day. 

And I'm so glad to know that they're still serving the yummy yogurt with muesli (and dried fruit) as their after-treatment snack!

Mia's Review: MKUP Real Complexion Cream (HONEST Review)

And recently there were tons of raves about this real complexion cream by MKUP floating around on the internet. 
Is it really worth the hype?


All the awesome things this product claims to do are stated on the back of the packaging. But if you haven't heard of this crazily raved product or seen the magical video of how it changes your dull and horrible complexion into a flawless looking one in mere 5 minutes, then you should know that MKUP boasts of this complexion cream as the only product ladies need, for EVERYTHING. 
Be it as skincare, or cosmetic. 
Be it day routine, or night routine. 
You just need this ONE bottle. 

Like, really?

Anyway, over to the packaging first, which I really like. The entire packing was really pretty (pinkish, rose print and all) and handy.


And having the cream kept in a push down air pump means no chance of product contamination. Usually, just 1 full pump is enough for me to apply the cream all over my face and neck. 


As you can see, the cream is white, with a pale purplish tint. It also comes with a lovely, sweet floral scent, which I love so much! Texture wise, it may feel a tad heavy and sticky when you first try to spread it out, but it does get absorbed (or feels to be absorbed) eventually, giving you a matte and slightly refreshing feeling. 


While spreading out the cream. And as you can see, this product will definitely create a ghastly looking white cast and give you a glorious geisha-inspired finish look if you pile it on. So really, a little goes a long way. 


And after blending it out, TADAA~! 
You can see absolutely NO effects!

Everything MKUP's video claimed to do, all the concealing of undereye circles, redness from blemishes, dilated pores and etc, it doesn't. 
If you apply more, thinking that the no visible effect is because of too little product applied, then you'll end up with a ghastly white cast. 
The whole claim of how we can substitute everything (skincare included) in our routine with just this 1 bottle is also a huge fraud. 
Don't fall for it, ladies!

The ONLY saving grace of this product, other than the lovely scent and packaging, would probably be the oil control efficacy. When using this, I found that my face was a lot less shinier at the end of the day. If you're an oily girl like me who wear glasses, you'll understand the pain and annoyance of having your glasses slipping down your oily, slippery nose every other few seconds of pushing it back up. But when I was using this product, my glasses pretty much stayed put on my nose throughout the day. 
And yes, I said, "when I WAS using..."
And why am I not using this anymore? Because THIS BROKE ME OUT. I developed TONS of whiteheads around my nose (the butterfly area) and on my chin. And it kind of make sense that it happened because something in this product is preventing my facial sebum from coming out from my pores to the skin surface and hence everything got clogged inside and formed whiteheads. 

So, this product doesn't really do oily ladies good, and neither will it do dry ladies good (because it's more mattifying than hydrating).
So really, what's with the hype, huh?

But, if you won't believe it until you've tried for yourself, you can pick up the 10ml travel size tubes first (instead of getting the 30ml full size product) HERE

EDIT: THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS TITANIUM DIOXIDE. IT IS NOT A SKINCARE! YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO REMOVE IT AT THE END OF THE DAY LIKE OTHER MAKEUP PRODUCTS.

ps. The video states this product hails from Korea, but I believe MKUP is a Taiwanese brand.
