Review: Royal Herb EX Cream

Royal Herb EX Cream (Sample: 3g)
Today review is on Royal Herb EX Cream. This sample had been redeemed and used for quite sometime back already. Today, let me account on this product. 

Overall, this product is able to help my skin stays smooth. Other then that, I really did not see other significant effect this product do to my skin. In my opinion, its just a normal product to me. Nothing wow about this product.

My Review
This sample had been redeemed and used for quite sometime back already. Today, let me account on this product.

The sample size product came in a small container with instruction booklet. 
Sample Package.
The EX Cream itself is transparent with a gel-like texture with gold flakes in it. 
Sample size container.
How the EX Cream looks like.
The EX cream also do not have any fragrance smell and its not oily and not sticky.
Applying the EX Cream.
The EX cream contain gold flakes. So I actually need to massage to let my skin absorb them. But its being absorbed easily. :)

Looking at the brochure, it was stated that its all natural. So I actually expected it to product more effect. 

However, after using, apart from being able to help my skin stays smooth, I really did not see other significant effect this product do to my skin. In my opinion, its just a normal product to me. Nothing wow about this product.

(Why there is no before and after use image? Well, I really don't see the need to show you a before and after face that look exactly the same with nothing improved. :| )

Where to buy it?
Royal Herb EX Cream can be bought at Royal Cosmetics Website for 50g bottle.
Actual product.

Sample redemption is long over. :(

I have not heard of this brand and its only after I get this sample that I did a search on this product. Then I realize its actually a well talked about product. But oh boy, its so expensiive!!! 

After using it, yes it is a product that did perform but for the price of it, I really personally feel that it should perform more than that. As there are really products out there that are much more affordable that are capable to perform the same results too.

My Review
This was redeem from Watsons Store when the product first launch. 

The sample size came in a 15g tube. Very generous sample to me. At least its not those sample sachet. 
Sample pack.
Sample (15g)
This Biore sunscreen is non sticky and non oily. It does not have any fragrance. The sunscreen is white in color and has a creamy texture. 
How the sunscreen looks like.
After applying skin feels really hydrated and smooth. I don't really feel like I am wearing a sunscreen. It feels more like a moisturizer. 

Also after wearing for a long time, it does not cause my face to produce access oil.

As for sunscreen protection effectiveness, the protection is so far still adequate to me.

However, I found alcohol under the ingredient written on the sample tube. This may be an issue for many, especially sensitive skin. But its so far so good for me.
