Are you on a lookout for an affordable Vitamin C Serum that works? Well, I was and have always been ultra-keen in exploring Vitamin C Serums because I think they are one of the few beauty items that actually made a difference. I’ll share more on that later, but today, I will share with you a newly-tried serum – Timeless 20% Vitamin C Serum.

With almost the same formula as another popular and expensive brand (Skinceuticals), would Timeless 20% Vitamin C Serum be worth your time and money? Let’s find out.

Good stuff is hard to come by and I really would have loved for C20 Original Pure Vitamin C20 serum to be featured as a holy grail write-up.  I mean, how often do you  find a product that can fade age spots within a month? And not forgetting the perks of making you fairer and more even-toned?

Sadly, C20’s miracle potion comes with a condition – a big one. Read on to find out if C20 is for you.

Review of Kiehl’s Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate

Read this product name – Kiehl’s Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate. With such a persuasive name, who could resist buying a powerful youth potion? Can you? 

Oh well. I couldn’t and bought one. Let’s see if this product lives up to her name?

About Kiehl’s Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate

Despite her very fanciful and catchy name, Kiehl’s Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate is generically a vitamin C cream.  It has a strength of 10.5% which is primarily the first-tier strength for Vitamin C product and should be mild for those with normal skin.

Other than Kiehl’s vitamin C product, I’d also explored vitamin C from other brands such as Obagi Vitamin C serum (10%) and Glo-Therapeutics Cyto-Luxe Vitamin C+ (20%) .… Read more >>

Are you in your 30s or 40s and are starting to get those bothersome forehead wrinkles that make you look older and angrier than you really are? I’ve just visited another aesthetic clinic – Dr Yvonne Goh Aesthetics and will be sharing my first impression and honest review on the clinic as well as the Xeomin Botox treatment I’ve received.

Those who have been following me know that I’ve been receiving botox treatment and other services from my regular clinic for the past three years.

What’d prompted me to try out another clinic was to give myself more options, which would be useful on occasions when I couldn’t get an earlier slot from my regular clinic.… Read more >>

Day 7 - VI Precison Peel

Makeup couldn’t cover the hard scabs!

A painful and long recovery to VI Precision Peel was something out of my expectation as the previous few sessions were close to being painless. To share with everyone how a similar procedure could result in an entirely different recovery, I’ve decided to document my experience here. Watch out for the unsightly photos that had me hidden behind closed doors for more than a week.

This would be a brief diary-format account of my VI Precision Peel experience, unlike the more informative and detailed review shared in a previous review. Here we go…

Tear Trough

Tear Trough

Do you face this problem when your tear troughs appear more obvious with age, creating shadows that make you look tired all the time? I started noticing perpetual shadows underneath my eyes when I hit my 30s. The “sunken” areas worsened quickly with every passing year. 

That’s when specialized eye products targeting dark circles started to pique my interest. And Shiseido White Lucent Eye Cream was one of them.

Shiseido White Lucent Anti-Dark Circles Eye Cream

While I knew at the back of my mind that off-the-shelf beauty products seldom produce significant results, I couldn’t resist buying Shiseido White Lucent Eye Cream as Shiseido has boldly included “Anti-Dark Circles” in the product name itself.… Read more >>

Another newly-discovered holy grail skincare product which I’ll be sharing in this review – MUAC Gly-Luronic Acid Serum. If you are looking for a product that can give you younger-looking skin and pimple-free complexion, read on.

Gly-Luronic Acid Serum

MUAC Gly-Luronic Acid Serum

Did you know that Gly-Luronic Acid serum is my go-to pimple-buster? It kills pimples faster than oxy-5, yet helps me achieve firmer and more radiant skin at the same time. In case I’ve made Gly-Luronic Acid Serum sound like a pimple cream, it’s not.

Gly-Luronic Serum is an exfoliant containing 15% glycolic acid. It works by removing dead skin cells to reveal baby-soft skin. … Read more >>
