Assalamualaikum and hi, beauties!
Wehh, finally Part 2 dah sampai! Ini sambungan untuk skincare journey baru saya dengan budget-friendly gems – The Watsons Edition. Siapa yang miss haul awal-awal tu, klik sini cepat 👉 PART 1
Its been 7 months... dalam journey budget skincare baru versi Watsons ni. Gais, nak saya terus terang ke tak ni? Jawapannya... keep reading, hehe.
💛 Soft Skin Profile Disclaimer
Untuk yang baru join, kulit wajah saya acne-prone, jenis combine (oily dan dry skin) dan ada pimple scar sikit-sikit. Yelah, disclaimer awal-awal, setiap orang ada jenis kulit yang berbeza-beza. Ini journey saya untuk find back way to love own body and skin, okay?
🔎 The 7-Month Product Review: Boleh Jalan ke Tak?
Seven months pakai set ni, dah cukup lama untuk test sama ada produk ni power atau zero. Jom kita review satu-satu.
| Product | Focus of Review | Rating | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wardah Perfect Bright Face Wash | Dry Effect yang Kena Cepat. Dia gel face wash, wangi, tapi aduh, lepas pakai tu rasa tegang dan dry effect dia kuat. Kena cepat-cepat prep muka. Tak berapa sesuai untuk kulit saya. | 3/10 | REPLACE! |
| Wardah Lightening Face Toner | Just Nice, Tapi Slow. Dia buat kulit rasa smooth dan nampak cerah, tapi slowly lah. Toner ni takde buat acne rasa pedih ke apa, just nice. | 5/10 | REPLACE. |
| Glad2Glow Niacinamide Serum | Rasa Macam Air Gula. Seriouslah, serum felt like nothing. Bila apply kat tangan tu rasa macam melekit-lekit lepas pakai. Effect dekat acne pun tak nampak. | 1/10 | REPLACE. |
| Alia Salicylic Acid Moisturiser | Good for Night Only. Gel moisturizer ni memang sesuai untuk pakai waktu malam. Kalau pakai waktu pagi, dia buat muka saya semakin berpeluh. Lambat nak serap, yelah namanya pun gel. | 4/10 | REPLACE. |
| Wardah Aqua Fresh Sunscreen | Senang Tanggal Gila. Sunscreen dia sangat cair dan mudah tanggal. Sesuai kalau short term je. Kalau dah cuci muka atau berpeluh, memang kena reapply cepat-cepat. Tapi at least dia buat muka moisturized. | 5/10 | REPLACE. |
| Safi Youth Gold Retinol | Terpaksa Stop (TTC). Saya stop using it sebab tengah TTC. Dapat advice dari sister saya. Tapi so far masa saya pakai dulu takde negative effect apa-apa pun. | 0/10 | REPLACED. |
Selama 7 bulan ni, saya dh buat ikut rutin, dan commited dgn pemakaian skin care, but sometime I skip some of product, when it triggers my acne. Yelah, kita kan ada monthly cycle of hormone, so itu juga bagi effect pada kulit saya.
The Kesimpulan: Harga Letak Tepi!
I decide to replace all of it because, it doesn’t enough to help my skin. I have purchased a new skincare product set name Cosmoderm. It's a bit pricey but still within my skincare budget.
The set came with face wash, toner, serum, and a moisturizer. For sunscreen, currently I'm using Skintific Matte Sunscreen SPF 50+.
Final Thoughts
In conclusion, I have a new mind set, yang skincare product saya kena cukup untuk kulit saya dan bukan cukup ikut wallet saya. So I buy this new product with a thought, harga letak tepi.
InsyaAllah, for this new set of skincare product, I will come with Part 3, to review my skincare journey.
Love yourself devotedly so that no else can get to your own judgement about yourself. Don’t let people destroy you.
