[Kaminomoto] Hair growth Accelerator

Hey everyone, it's been a long time since I blog my last post.
However, it's time to create another review for hair product :)
PT. Best Brilliant was kindly sent me to try their products and here's the package they sent me..

Inside the package, there are hair growth accelerator, shampoo & conditioner samples and towel.

For now, I'm going to review hair growth accelerator.

Actually, I want to review and post this product earlier. However, I'm trying another hair care products so I decided to use kaminomoto product separately to know the exact result.

Kaminomoto is manufactured in Japan since 1908 and it specifically made to help hair growth.
When a healthy scalp balance is maintained, hair loss doesn't occur. Only when symptoms such as dandruff, itchiness, and greasy scalp could create hair loss.
A key solution for the problem is to take care of hair properly. As you need skin care for your face to create flawless skin, you'll need hair care to maintain healthy hair.

The guides and some info of the products are written in both english and chinese.

Main Ingredients
Sophora Radix (kujin-extract) and Isodonis Japonicus (enmeiso-extract)
Rosemary extract
Glycyrrhetinic acid (kanzo-extract)
Hinokitiol (Hinoki-extract)
Neo-Takanal:
Capsicum Frutescens
Allantoin
Panthenol
Pyridoxine HCl

Packaging
The design packaging is simple but not too attractive. The material is made from glass, so it's kinda heavy but durable.

However, i like this part which made the liquid come out drop by drop.


Scent
This product doesn't have special scents which is good or bad. Though it contains medicinal plants (kujin, enmeiso, rosemary, and kanzo), i can only smell its medicine scent a bit after application on my hands.
At first, I worry my hair will smells bad after application, but that doesn't occur. My hair doesn't produce any scent after application.

Texture
Watery and easy to apply. Just put generous amount of the liquid and use all over your scalp (I use about 2-3 teaspoon on my scalp).
I suggest to apply it little by little, rather than pour huge amount of the liquid (because liquid can dry easily).

Effects
After about 1 month application, I can feel more of new (baby) hair coming out, which means this product could help to achieve thicker hair.
Also, this product helps me to reduce my dandruff, fall out and doesn't create side effects for hair, such as dry/oily/dandruff..


Overall,
PROS
+ helps my scalp to be more healthy (reduce dandruff and fall out hair)
+ the scent is okay considering it's made from medicinal plants
+ easy to apply
+ Help hair growth

CONS
- After apply all liquids with my hand, I can finally smell slightly the "medicine" scent on my hand
- The packaging kinda heavy, not practical for traveling.


Kaminomoto products can be found at Century and Guardian (all over Indonesia). Also, you can purchased it online at Lazada and Perfect Beauty. To me, considering this product proves what its offer, I think buying this product is worth it.


Thanks for reading,
have a good day :)

[B.Liv] Off with those heads

Few weeks ago, I was emailed by B.liv team to try one of their product, Off with those heads.

This product is specialized to remove blackheads and whiteheads. Also, to reduce large pores size.

Sounds interesting?

About B.Liv (Quoted from their website),

B.Liv is skincare line under Cellnique. Cellnique has been the leading paramedical brand in professional skincare industry for over fifteen years. Cellnique has intensively focused on providing the best available skincare solutions- namely, its well-known 9x9 skin care matrix – through professional consultation with skin care centre.

Their aim to create Off with those heads is to help people who has blackheads and whiteheads problem. Therefore it's really suitable for tropical countries.

Why?

After experiencing to live in other country with 4 season (Australia), I feel that I got more skincare problems (such as acne and blackheads) while I'm in Indonesia.

Ingredients

Water, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Extract, Carbomer, Propylene Glycol, Menthol, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Sodium Hydroxide, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Diazolidiny Urea.

Let's jump to my review..

Packaging

This product comes in plastic bottle. Eventhough I prefer it to be made from glass (to looks more classy), but the materials they use for the packaging is good (doesn't made from cheap type of plastic). From the bright side, this item is light and easy to fit in your skincare bag.

Once you open the cap, there's a pump and the liquid will come.

Scent

The scents is nice and doesn't stings so I think you don't need to worry about it~

Also, rather than having particular scent, actually the cooling feels stands the most. 

The first time I apply, it kinda stings my eyes. However it doesn't happen on my next application.

Texture

It's designed as serum-type, so you can apply it easily. When it comes out, it looks like gel, but actually it's watery.

Below is my before and after picture after using this product for 2 weeks (I use it frequently every night).

*Actually if you use it every morning and night (as directed), the result might be better than mine.

On before picture, I took the photos 1 day after using porepack. I don't have any whiteheads but I have many blackheads on my nose and my pores are kinda big. Eventhough I have normal skin face type, but my T-zone are dry (especially in nose area).

On after picture, my skin is improving. I have few blackheads, but it can be get rid easily by gently wipe my nose after washing my face. Therefore, I don't have to squeeze anymore to make the blackheads comes out.

I also feel that my nose now creating enough oil so that my nose aren't dry anymore and my pores are getting smaller.

**note:

Result might differ for people with different skin types with me.

I'm not sure for the result with people who have oily skin types. Also, since I don't have whiteheads, I don't know if this product could removes whiteheads. You may refer to other reviews for better understanding :)

----------------------------------------------------------

PROS

+ control oils

+ Removes blackheads

+ Travel friendly

+ Easy to apply

+ Pores getting smaller.

CONS

- Pricey (IDR 590,000 or USD 50)

- Cooling sensation stings eyes on first application.

[Kojie san] Skin Lightening Soap

Hello,

today I'm going to share my opinion about Kojie san Soap.

Before sharing my review about this product, I found some background info that I got from Kojie san website and ads.

• Functions: Helps lighten dark spots due to acne, age spots, freckles, sun-damaged skin, and other skin pigmentation
• Directions: Use daily as a regular soap for the face and body.
• Ingredients: Pure Kojic Acid, Sweet Orange, VCO, Glycerine, Vegetable Extracts, Vitamin C

So, the products are sponsored by Kojie san Indo. For the soap, they have 3 size: 30gr, 65 gr, and 135gr.
From the product catalogue I got, other than soap, they also sell skincare like toner, cream, cleanser,etc. 

Actually I don't like Soap in bar/solid type, because it's not practical and will took longer time to shower. However I still try the soap because I'm curious with the result.

Medium and big bar have plastic package to maintain its quality if the soap, while the smallest size don't (but the outer packaging is already made from plastic).

Since my skin is kinda sensitive, so I tried the smallest soap bar first to test whether it suits my skin..

In about 1 month, the soap already become like this XD it become very small and fragile. lol.

So, I'm just going to summarize my thought about the soap. Hope you find it helpful~

The soap has orange fruit scent which is very interesting. The soap also produce foam easily (while some soap bar don't). 
Maybe some of you will react, " are you kidding me? I think all soap could produce foam easily, or else people won't use it... 
My answer: Because the soap have many natural ingredients, so the soap can melted easily, which will help people to have liquid type of soap and make it easier to produce more foam than other soap bars.

I tried using the soap on my knee, since my knee have darker tone color than the surroundings. What I found after using it for almost 1 month, my knees are 1 skin tone lighter, than previously. hoho.
Eventhough I heard this soap can dry the skin, it didn't happen to me. I found that my skin is in normal condition. There's also no side effect to me (skin feeling itchy or become red).

*note: I don't use the soap for my face or other part of body since I'm scared that I will achieve lighter skin color. I don't want to be more white, or else I can be like zombie (?) Better to prevent right? LOL.

IMPORTANT TIPS:
1. You must put the soap in soap case/any case, because the soap can melt easily when there's water or placed direct sunlight/heat.
2. Try to buy the small size first if you're unsure whether the soap will suits you/not. That's because I found that people have numerous opinions about the soap. Some likes and can use the soap, but some others said the soap dry/irritate their skin..

Thanks for reading,

Have a great day <3
