ARIYA NANGFAH SUNSCREEN SPF 50 REVIEW

         Hello everyone! I’m back with a new review. I’ve been searching for a primer and a sunscreen lately. Good thing my sister has a product which was delivered to her by her friend from Thailand. She sells it for Php 290.00 pesos. Since I was curious on the product, I bought it for me to try. 

         The product is not just a sunscreen, but it also has many benefits. Later on, I will state each of them. The product is named as ARIYA NANGFAH SPF 50. If you could hear the name itself, it’s a skin protection against the UVA/UVB. But.... it doesn’t ends there. The Nangfah Sunscreen also acts as a foundation primer plus it could also help to make the skin whitens plus, plus, plus, it’s also waterproof so worry no more when your skin will sweat. 

PRODUCT CLAIMS 

Nangfah Silk Suncreen 

1. Sun Protection 

2. Primer 

3. Whitening 

4. Waterproof 

        A silky smooth water proof foundation primer and sun screen that leave the skin brighter, smoother and supple with even skin tone, protects the skin from UVA/UVB damage, prevents future hyper pigmentation or uneven discoloration. It keeps the skin moisturized while it serves as oil control foundation without making the skin feel greasy, suitable for all skin types and sensitive skin. 

PACKAGING 

        One thing that I’ve noticed on the box of the product is that it’s very cute and it comes with a girly design and stylish fonts. The combination of pink, yellow and blue are perfect as it could easily attract the eyes. 

       This is how the box looks like: 

       On the other hand, the container of the product comes with a small gold glass like and comes with a Thailand look design on its cap. I love the container of the product since it looks so elegant. As a matter of fact, my when my mother saw the container, she thought it’s very expensive. But anyway, it’s really quite expensive for its price since in one container there is only small amount of product inside. 

       This is how the container and the product looks like: 

PRODUCT’S TEXTURE 

     The product’s texture is very silky and I could not feel that there’s a greasy something on the product. Whenever I tap the product, it feels so foamy. 

PRODUCT’S SMELL 

       The product really smells so good and it’s very pleasing to the nose. It smells like a mild perfume that doesn’t sting the nose and it’s very addictive. 

PRODUCT EXPERIENCE 

       Even though the product only comes in one shade, it’s never a problem since it easily blends the skin. It’s true that you will not feel any greasy on the face after applying the product. It’s also different from the sunscreen I’ve tried before since it’s not heavy when applied to the face. I’ve observed the product. The product lasts on the face for about 12 hours even after sweating on the face. What I also like with the product is that it makes my skin feel smooth and supple plus it could whiten the skin which looks naturally. What I quite don’t like about the product is that the amount of product on the container is too few for its price. If only the manufacturer would add a bit more on the product’s container then it would be great.Plus it's not easy to find and only available online. 

1. Sun Protection 

-Even though it states that it has SPF 50, I didn’t depend on it since the sun is still too strong to harm the skin. But I think it helps in protecting my skin against the sun anyway. 

2. Primer 

-It’s a good foundation primer. There was one time when I tried to make it as a base on my makeup and I was impressed that it worked well on my face. It blends on my makeup well. 

3. Whitening 

-I think the whitening occurs when you applied the product on the face. What I like about its whitening effect is that it looks natural. 

4. Waterproof 

-Yes, the product is indeed waterproof since even after sweating the product stays intact on my face for about 12 hours.

MYRA VITASMOOTH HYDRATING FACIAL WASH REVIEW

Hello everyone! It’s been a while that I haven’t posted a review here on my repository. So, today, I’m back! I’ve been busy for the past days doing unimportant stuff at home. So let’s start!

Myra products are not new to me since I already tried their product before. In fact, I made a review of some of their products here in my blog. (You can check them out) Myra facial wash comes in two variants: Myra VitaWhite Whitening Facial Wash, which I already reviewed on and MYRA VITASMOOTH HYDRATING FACIAL WASH which I’m about to review here. I bought the 50 mL for Php 70.00.

3. Contains French Spring Sea Water and Aloe Vera Leaf Juice that improves skin elasticity and helps keep it smooth and young-looking.

PRODUCT 

The facial wash comes with a nice silky white thing. There is also an orange bead together with the facial wash. It’s also so slippery unlike the Vitawhite variant. When you rub the product it’s quite rough unlike the Vitawhite which is very smooth. 

This is how the product looks like:

PRODUCT EXPERIENCE

When I applied and rubbed the product on my face, it’s quite rough; I think those rough thingy which contains the product would help in making the skin smooth since after rinsing my face with water, I could feel that my face is indeed very smooth. I was glad knowing that it could really add moisture to the skin. And after two weeks of using this product, I could really feel that my skin is more supple and hydrated. Not to mention, I was impressed by this product indeed. Plus it doesn’t clog the pores. The product smells so nice like the VitaWhite variant and it’s quite addictive.

1. Deeply cleanses skin and rids it from dirt and excess oil while maintaining skin’s natural moisture to help keep it healthy, soft, and young-looking. 

-Yes, it really deeply cleanses the skin without making it dry.

2. Has Moisture Plus Formula that retains and seals in skin’s natural moisture, keeping it hydrated and more supple.

-Yes, my face looks hydrated and I could feel its moisture after 2 weeks of use.

3. Contains French Spring Sea Water and Aloe Vera Leaf Juice that improves skin elasticity and helps keep it smooth and young-looking.

-It does improves my skin’s elasticity since before, my skin looks so old due to stress but now it improves giving me the younger-looking skin I always wanted. Unfortunately, it doesn’t whiten my skin since it doesn’t have whitening formula.

4. Enriched with antioxidant Vitamin E beads which protect and nourish skin to help it healthy with a youthful glow.

-I agree with this claim. I think the Vitamin E beads really help in achieving the result I experienced with this product and for that it’s a thumbs up.

5. Hypoallergenic and Dermatologist tested. Your assurance that it is mild, effective and safe for everyday use.

-Since it’s a Unilab product, I could say it’s really safe and gentle to the skin.

GLUTA-C WITH KOJIC PLUS SOAP REVIEW

               Scrolling at my facebook newsfeed, I saw something that catches my attention. Sans another word, I directly click the link for I want to receive mine too. At first I thought, it already reaches the maximum number of people who fill the form. But jubilantly, I was able to register on the box provided and I was told to wait for my product to receive.

            Being a whitening enthusiast, I always love to try products that claim to whiten the skin. That’s why the moment Gluta-C conducted a giveaway of free soap samples to first 3,000 people; I grab the opportunity to receive mine too for free. Whom on earth would give you soap for free right? Fortunately, I receive my own soap after 2 weeks.

              I haven’t tried Gluta-C products to be honest. That’s why when the delivery truck come over to our place and gave me my soap for free, without hesitant, I directly tried it. Gluta-C Glutathione with Vitamin C with Kojic Plus is the soap I’m referring to.

         As a matter of fact, the keywords that directly catches my eyes with the product is the glutathione and kojic, these terms are the most commonly added ingredients to whitening soaps nowadays right? I get so excited to try it; hoping that it could give the result I want.

PRODUCT CLAIMS

What makes Gluta-C Kojic Plus different?

           It has 4X skin whitening action from the combined powers of Glutathione, Vitamin C, Kojic Acid and Azelaoyl Diglycinate that ensures greater efficacy. Together, Gluta-C Kojic Plus achieves a more holistic skin whitening regimen. 

• 4x whitening action
• Deep cleansing
• Anti-acne
• 3x more anti-oxidants (to help reduce toxins)
• Non-drying (essential in protecting the skin)
• Exfoliates gently (for younger, smoother skin)
• Clarifies skin

           Anyone who would have the chance to read the product claims, I presume, would be interested in trying out the soap. The product description is really eye catching that anyone would want to buy it without another word.

PACKAGING

           The packaging comes in a small rectangle box. It’s like what other soap brands’ packaging box looks like.

          Talking about the soap, it comes with an orange rounded-edge shape. The name gluta-C is at the center of it. Whenever I look at the soap, I could remember the chalk thing that my grandma is using when she’s sewing a dress. She uses the chalk to like the part of the dress she will cut out. I don’t know why, I can’t help but compare the two. He-he!

              This is how the packaging of the soap and the soap itself look like:

SMELL OF THE SOAP

             There’s nothing special with the scent of the soap. It has an identical scent with other soaps I encountered before; I just don’t remember what it is. But the scent will not make your nose feel bad. It smells so good and it’s so addictive I tell you.

AVAILABILITY

              The soap is available at all leading drugstores and supermarket nationwide. 

MY PRODUCT EXPERIENCE

            As what I just earlier, I get so excited to try the soap. After using the soap for the first time, I feel like it moisturizes and cleanses my skin so well. I was glad knowing that I find something nice to think about. I continue using the product for about two weeks, hoping to see a dramatic result, but then I was wrong. My skin feels so dry. I get discourage about the soap when my classmates told me that my skin looks dark. I directly stop using the soap. 

            Here’s the summary of my insights on the product claims of the soap:

4x whitening action- I don’t find a dramatic change on the shade of my skin. As a matter of fact, my skin looks darkened a bit.

Deep cleansing- Yes, I agree. It really cleanses the skin deeply. My skin feels so clean after using it.

Anti-acne- I don’t have acne so I can’t justify that this really works. Plus, I don’t use it on my face either because I find beauty soaps too harsh for the face.

3x more anti-oxidants (to help reduce toxins)- I’m not so sure if this thing works.

Non-drying (essential in protecting the skin)- I don’t agree with this. My skin really went dry after using this soap for about two weeks.

Exfoliates gently (for younger, smoother skin)-I’m not sure if it really exfoliates my skin, I can’t justify this.

Clarifies skin- i don’t agree. As what I’ve said earlier, my skin has darkened. It doesn’t clarify my skin.

RATING

AFFORDABILITY- 4.5/5

QUALITY- 4/5

AVAILABILITY- 4.5/5

SMELL- 4.5/5

PRODUCT EXPERIENCE- 3/5

            The product may not reach my expectations in whitening side; I still love the product on how it cleanses my skin. 

            Would I purchase? Probably no.

           Would I recommend it? Yes of course. Since we have different skin types and what doesn’t fit to may be compatible to you. The result varies from our skin types. Try it, who knows, it fits well to your skin and would reach your expectations.

            Thank you for reading my review. Till next time J
