Jowaé Concentré Jeunesse Anti-taches Review


Understanding why I left behind the Jowaé Concentré Jeunesse Anti-Taches/Jowaé Youth Concentrate Complexion Correcting with Lumiphenols.

I was super excited when walking past a pharmacy I saw a strange name that sounded very Korean. I stopped and glared at the beautiful and simple packaging of the products and as soon as I got home, my search began. It didn’t take much to convince myself, that I had to at least try one of the products, being a fanatic of the Korean cosmetics. The advantage of this brand was that I could purchase it anytime, without having to wait over a month for the products to arrive. They are also quite affordable, so I bought 2.

The packaging is very simple and the box explains everything through numbers and pictures, on the inside. Easy enough for anybody to understand how and when to use it. It comes in a pump dispenser and that can be good or bad, since you can’t really pop it open or squeeze the content out. And it’s not a sheer packaging so I imagine it’s not too easy to find out when it’s going to be all gone.

One pump wasn’t enough for my face and neck. I would always use one a and half, otherwise my skin would feel dry. The fragrance didn’t agree with me, I’m avoiding the word hate, because it was very sweet, it actually reminded me of sugar coated candies. But that didn’t stopped me from using it every morning for about two weeks. It did leave my face soft, but I also used their anti-aging light cream on top, because even for my combination skin it wasn’t enough, especially in winter. Dry or very dry skin would need a richer formula or a apply a very rich cream on top.

Very easy to blend and of course it absorbs quickly, so for oily skin types this might be enough. However, after those two weeks I started getting a rash on my right cheek, really close to my nose. I didn’t make to much of it at first, but then for some reason, I decided I should stop the new products and return to the old ones to see what would happen. And the rash started to disappear very, very slowly. It took over a week for the rash to almost disappear. I still have a tiny bit left over. Either it was a very big coincidence or my skin said no to those two products. 

It’s a shame, I was really looking forward to using this brand, but had to return to my Nuxe routine, that is also coming to it’s end and will be replaced, very carefully and one by one.


In conclusion:
v  the brand explains things very well and contains 30ml
v  not the most moisturizing serum, so maybe not good for dry or very dry skin
v  very sweet fragrance while applying, disappears after
v  spreads well and absorbs quickly leaving no greasy feeling
v  oily skin will probably love it
v  I can’t say anything about it’s claims of reducing dark spots, since two weeks aren’t enough.
v  I don’t believe I will be buying anything from this brand any time soon. Again, I’m still not sure the rash had anything to do with the products, but…

ISDIN Fusion Water SPF 50+ Review and thoughts

Imagem
Definitely my favourite sunscreen to date. I’ve tried an array of products over the years and this is the 2 nd that left a very good impression. The first one, by the way, was The Body Shop’s sunscreen for the body that existed over 15 years ago, when I was still a teenager. The reason: after my usual beach period in the summer, not forgetting I was a stupid teenager that didn’t care about the sun that much, I was the exact same colour as before. No bikini marks anywhere and no tan! Most people like to tan, but I like to enjoy the beach without tanning. I cannot say for sure that the ISDIN Fusion Water does the same, because as soon as the sun starts warming up in Spring, I either wear hats (if you see someone wearing a hat on the street it’s probably me, nobody else wears them) or hide in the shade. What makes me love this sunscreen is it’s velvet touch and light formula . It really mattifies the skin even when wearing foundation. Actually, your foundation would have to be m...

Sunscreen talk

The more you read, the more you research, the more confused you get. That’s how I feel, anyway. Sunscreen is such a complicated science , I think it should be a subject on it’s own available to everybody at school, from a very early age. There are, and will always be, different opinions and for those of us that didn’t go to medical school, it becomes a very big problem. Are they stable, are they safe, are we applying the right amount of product, are we cancelling out SPfs by using other products or even spreading it properly all over the exposed areas, or applying it frequently enough? After many reading and video watching, both always bearing doctor’s opinions, my only conclusion is that most of us are doing it wrong and will continue to do so. "How is it that in the 30s there was 1 in melanoma case in 1,500 people and nowadays there is 1 case in 50" (I think I got the data right, refer to this video on Caroline Hirons youtube channel, her advices and videos have been su...

Pixi Order arrival and daily ramblings 23th May 2019

I received my order from LookFantastic, that I paid with my own money, yesterday! Two Pixi products: Glow Mud Cleanser and the H2O Skin Drink . Of course I used the cleanser yesterday, instead of the Innisfree one. It was a complete different, and still is, experience for me: it doesn’t foam. For me it’s something new, don’t’judge! I’ve always used foam cleansers, without the harsh foaming ingredient SLS, but they still foam up. This does not and it will take some time for me to get used to that fact, it feels as if it’s not doing the job properly. Yet, I used it again this morning and evening. And the glow tonic after. Although while applying the tonic it did sting a bit, it’s been almost an hour and no more stinging or itchiness came about, like the other three times. I’m happy! Next it’s the Caudalie Vino Perfect Serum. However, yesterday night, after cleansing my face, I noticed a small red spot close my nose, on my right cheek. It was there this morning and I used the Vichy...
