Ingredients: Water, Butylene Glycol, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Glycerin, Polysorbate 20, DI-PPG-2-Myreth-10-Adipate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, PEG-80, Sorbitan Laurate, PEG-7-Glyceryl Cocoate, Phenoxyethanol, Decyl, Glucoside, Cocamidopropylamine Oxide, Fragrance, PEG-150, Distearate, Methylparaben, Tetrasodium EDTA, Propylparaben, Citric Acid, Ethylparaben, Dipotassium Glycyrhizate, Methylisothiazolinone, Magnesium Aspartate, Zinc Gluconate, CI 60730, Morus Alba Root Extract, Cooper Gluconate, CI 17200.

My Opinion:

I've previously tried the Neutrogena Deep Clean Revitalizing Pink Grapefruit Ultra Foam Cleanser, which I've hated, and the reason why I had this in the mulberry scent as well, was because it was cheaper to get 2.

 

Luckily this wasn't as bad as the Grapefruit one, because at least it did smell like berries. Although the grapefruit one claims to be revitalizing while the mulberry claims to be brightening, most of their ingredients were the same, so I really don't understand how they are going to perform differently.

My Opinion:
I think I have mentioned in my last week posts that my skin was dry and freaking out. Since I had a really busy week I didn't had time for masks, that's why I always have several sleeping masks at home, hoping that I could hydrate my skin while sleeping, unfortunately this product didn't help.

I've used this for 3 consecutive nights and my skin was still dry, I might try this again later when my skin is back to normal, but if is an emergency situation where you need a instant boost of hydration, I wouldn't rely on this product.

Ingredients: Water, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Isostearyl Palmitate, Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate, Isononyl Isononanoate, Cyclopentasiloxane, Hexylene Glycol, PEG 4 Laurate, PEG 6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides, Sucrose Cocoate, Carbomer, Sodium Hydroxide, Benzoic Acid, Dehydroacetate Acid, Phenoxyethanol, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, Fragrance (Parfum)

 

My Opinion:

I would consider myself a newbie with these wet cleansing towelettes, because so far I've only tried 3 differente kinds, and I didn't really like the ones that I've tried so far.

 

I have to admit that these were really convenient, but I found that I always have to go over it with a cleanser because they just don't remove all my makeup.

 

Anyway, amongst the ones that I've tried I think Neutrogena is the only one that I might consider repurchasing, but I'm still not entirely satisfy with it, unlike my Olay 2 in 1 Cleansing Cloths, these really does remove all traces of makeup without the need to go over it with a cleanser, but unfortunately these are dry wipes and I'm searching for a wet wipe.

Ingredients: Water, Isononyl Isononanoate, Isostearyl Palmitate, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Pentaerythtityl Tetraethylhexanoate, Cyclopentasiloxane, Hexylene Glycol, Sucrose Cocoate, PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides, Cyclohexasiloxane, Carbomer, Disodium EDTA, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Sodium Hydroxide

 

My Opinion:

 

I've initially though that this product would be equivalent to Deep Clean Cream Cleanser in the US, but I've noticed that their ingredients were different, so I guess this is only available in Asia.

 

My skin always freak out when the season changes, and in order to stabilize it I try to wear minimum makeup. After numerous trial and error, I tend to stay away from foundation and stick with BB cream. My usual routine is BB cream, concealer, blush, powder and mascara (this is what i call minimum makeup...). I'm listing out my routine because I wanted to let you know that this cleansing lotion removes all the above mentioned products, even mascara. I usually need a separate cleanser for my mascara, but I've recently removed my makeup with the neutrogena cleanser first, and when I went thru my eyes with my eye makeup remover, there were actually no mascara left.

My Opinion:

 

I keep on telling anybody that would listen to me "I WAS CON INTO GETTING THIS" *stompingmyfeet*. This did not smell like grapefruit at all.

 

Ok I'm a grapefruit scent freak and the only reason for getting this was because of the scent, so you could imagine how dissapointed I was when I found out that it only has a floral scent with no grape fruit at all.

 

Even though I got this at a discount it was still alot for a cleanser, since I usually pay about half of this for a cleanser.....

 

And the pump sucks, about half way thru the pump stop working and I have to manually lift up the pump to make it work

 

 

 

 

Neutrogena Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover

Contents: 3.8 fl oz / 112ml
Price: HKD89.90

According to Neutrogena's webpage:

Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover takes off even waterproof eye makeup without leaving an oily residue.

Forget harsh tugging and pulling. This ultra-gentle dual phase formula activates when shaken to remove all eye makeup—even waterproof mascara—without any greasy residue. It is ophthalmologist tested, safe for contact lens wearers and oil free.

Take off all your eye makeup the gentle way.

• Dual-action formula removes even waterproof makeup
• Oil-free, non-greasy
• Ophthalmologist tested
• Safe for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers

Ingredients: Cyclopentasiloxane, Water, Cyclohexasiloxane, Aloe Vera (Aloe Barbadensis) Leaf Juice, Benzyl Alcohol, Sodium Chloride, Dipropylene Glycol, Poloxamer 182, Allantoin (Comfrey Root), Tripotassium EDTA, Benzalkonium Chloride Solution, Glycerin, Cucumber (Cucumis Sativus) Extract (Cucumis Sativus), Potassium Phosphate, Dipotassium Phosphate, Phenoxyethanol

My Opinion:

With the exception of undereye concealer, I don't wear much eye makeup, therefore it has never occured to me that I would need a special remover for my eyes.

Whenever I do my eyes, I'll just remove it with vaseline, although it's greasy, I always wash it off with another cleanser, never had any problems. Recently, my views has been altered, I've tried to remove my undereye concealer with the neutrogena eye makeup remover, and noticed a huge improvement on the skin texture under my eyes (note that I did not change my skincare routine). I must have mentioned before that the skin under my eyes are really dry, but after using this product for about a week, I've noticed that the undereye area is actually starting to look normal without the need for extra hydration (I usually need a eye mask every week, but since I've switched my cleansing routine, I haven't felt the need for a eye mask).  

I've been discussing this issue with my beautician and was told that the under eye area is really sensitive and that I shouldn't have used any harsh cleanser around my eyes, I should have used something mild to cleanse my undereye area, and now I'm dying to try out others eye makeup removers...

眼部卸妝液

產品資料:

• 一抹卸淨防水眼妝。
• 100%不含油脂，能清爽，溫和及有效地卸掉防水眼妝，包括防水睫毛液。
• 蘆薈配方能爲肌膚同時保濕，卸完後不會出現繃緊情況。

使用方法:

• 徹底搖均。
• 配合卸妝棉敷在眼部彩妝位置大概5秒，然後輕輕一抹便能卸掉彩妝，再以溫水輕柔洗淨。

我的意見：

除了遮瑕膏，小妹其實好小化眼裝，所以一直都無用眼部專用的卸妝產品。如果真的化眼裝，通常都會用凡士林卸，雖然有點油，但之後會再用潔面產品再洗多一次，一直都無出現任何問題。

最近開始用這支眼部卸妝液來清潔眼周的皮膚，發現眼部皮膚出現明顯的改善（注意小妹並沒有更換護膚品）。小妹眼周的皮膚一向都非常之乾，每周都一定要敷眼膜，但用了這支眼部卸妝液後就不再須要敷眼膜。

小妹覺得好奇怪所以就去問吓幫個做facial位姐姐，她指出眼部周圍的皮膚其實很敏感，應該要用一些比較溫和的清潔產品來清潔，使用普通的潔面產品會令眼周皮膚變乾。死啦，小妹又想去買其他品牌的眼部卸妝來試...

My opinion:

I got this during the summer and found it to be slightly too sticky, although this product claims to be oil free, it made my skin oilier than usual. However for the winter time, this felt great on the skin (not greasy and no breakouts), but you might wonder why would someone need an SPF50+ for the winter, and that's because I'm currently on retin A, and my skin is highly sensitive to the sun, that's why I need a higher sunscreen.

Neutrogena Deep Clean Blackhead Eliminating Warming Treatment

Contents: 8 tubes x 5g
Price: HK$99.9

Description:

Neutrogena DEEP CLEAN Blackhead Eliminating Warming Treatment instantly warms up to 40°C to open pores. The BHA Blackhead Fighting Complex then penetrates into pores to promote the removal of dirt, oil, and even stubborn blackheads. The Cedarwood extract and moisturizer help strengthen the skin’s natural water and oil balance, and prevent new blackheads from forming with continuous use.

Dermatogist and allergy tested.

Oil free and non-comedogenic.

How to use it:

Cleanse your face, leave the face wet. Dispense the product to the tip of your finger and apply immediately & directly to face focusing on blackhead prone areas. Gently massage for 20 seconds then rinse off. Use 2-3 times a week for best results.

My Opinion:

I love warming treatments, and I've tried a few in the markets, my favorite would be lancome, and if you are on a budget, Boots is another good one. I wouldn't recommend neutrogena, because this would only warm up for about 2 seconds (what's the point to massage 20 seconds if it'll only stay warm for 2 seconds?)

Neutrogena Shampoo Anti-Residue Formula

Price: HKD59.9
Contents: 175ml

According to Neutrogena's webpage:

Anti-Residue Shampoo is a shampoo treatment that instantly removes up to 90% of dulling residue caused by shampoos, conditioners and styling products.

It cleans hair thoroughly and easily rinses away. Use it once a week, then go back to your favorite shampoo. You'll find that it works better than ever. Works with all hair types.

Hair is clean and residue-free.

My Opinion:

I've been using this once per week for several years, and I like to call it deep cleanse shampoo, because it really removes everthing from my hair. However, I've noticed recently that If I have my hair color treated, the color tends to fade away faster if i use this product.


When I'm done with this bottle I intend to try the Tresemme deep cleanse shampoo, because I've read some good review about it.
