Review: Cure Natural Aqua Gel

Cure Natural Aqua Gel (3g)
This week review will be on Cure Natural Aqua Gel. This sample was redeem from Watsons Store. I like this Cure Natural Aqua Gel as it help remove dead skin and leave my skin clean, hydrated, smooth and growing. ;) Last week, I did a review on Amethystory Mineral Aqua Gel which have the same function as Cure Natural Aqua Gel. So lets compare this two products as well. :D

My Review
/hihi This sample was redeem from Watsons Store. My cousin told me that I can get Cure Natural Aqua Gel sample from Watsons store by asking the cashier. So I went to get them and try it. Its also stated on the shelf to get sample from the cashier. :)

This Cure Natural Aqua Gel has a transparent gel like texture without any significant fragrance smell. As compare to Amethystory Mineral Aqua Gel which is milky and more watery, Cure is more clear and gel like.
Clear gel like texture
Same as Amethystory Mineral Aqua Gel, I did not use a lot of Cure Natural Aqua Gel. I deep a 10 cent coin amount to the usual 5 corners on my face and gently massage. As I massage, white flakes appear on my face.

About the white flakes, I always like to put my products in the refrigerator. But I did not realize that this Cure Natural Aqua Gel does not work well under cold condition. As such I have difficult using it at first as I always get nothing after massaging and can still feel my skin is not clean. Until I read the paper that comes together with the Cure sample, then I get it right. :)>-

When washing off, the gel actually turns into aqua texture on my face. Therefore its easy to wash off. Comparing it with Amethystory Mineral Aqua Gel which leave a layer of gel like feeling on top of my face and took longer for me to wash off, I like Cure Natural Aqua Gel in this area more. =D>

After washing off and dry clean, my face feel sticky when I touches it. No smooth feeling apart from feeling clean, refreshing and hydrated until about 2 minutes later, I touches my face again, I can then feel the smoothness of my skin. Also my skin look more brighten up too. 

For this area, I like Amethystory Mineral Aqua Gel more because after washing, Amethystory Mineral Aqua Gel give my skin an instant smooth and hydrated feeling without stickyness.

Same as Amethystory Mineral Aqua Gel, Cure Natural Aqua Gel is able to help me absorb the mask and other skin care products I use after that well.

Overall, I like Cure Natural Aqua Gel too as it did removed my dead skin cell, making my skin feel hydrated and clean. 

Cure Natural Aqua Gel or Amethystory Mineral Aqua Gel? For me, Amethystory Mineral Aqua Gel wins my vote by just 1 extra point, for its non sticky instant smoothness after wash. But  Its really up to individual as both manage to produce the result it should and pricing wise, if you calculate Amethystory Mineral Aqua Gel to 250ml, its almost the same. My suggestion is get the one that's having discount currently. :D

Where to buy it?
You may buy Cure Natural Aqua Gel (250ml) at S$42.00. You can find them in Watsons Singapore. 

Where to get sample?
You may get Cure Natural Aqua Gel sample from Watsons Singapore by asking the Cashier Staff. You may also get sample from this link. You may also like Cure Facebook Page to find out more.

After washing off and dry clean, I can instantly feel that my skin is much more hydrated and very smooth. My skin feel so clean and refreshing. Somehow, it just brighten up my skin.

I actually did a mask after using this mineral aqua gel and I realize that my skin is able to absorb the mask I apply better. Also able to absorb other skin care products better. :D

This week review will be on HydroPure+ Soothing Therapy Mask. I redeemed this sample from HydroPure+ Facebook page around August 2012 last year. I was very much surprise by the result this very simple mask with very simple ingredient (Ionized Water) can bring to my face. After using, it not only sooth my skin but also, my skin feels very moisturize, smooth and so refreshing. Whats more, it reduces my redness on my skin and all these results came instantly after using the mask. /please

How to use HydroPure+ Soothing Therapy Mask

Ingredient: Ionized water
Instructions on the packet

My Review
I redeemed this sample from HydroPure+ Facebook page around August 2012 last year. Hehe...so sorry that I only opened up and try it so late. /blush

Before I open up the packet, when I shake, I can actually hear the liquid in the packet. It feels like the liquid content in the packet is very full. 

When I open it, I see the packet contain full of liquid. I took out the mask. The mask feel very much like those use and throw cloth. Its touches a bit more thick and not easily tear. 

How the mask look like
Closer look at the mask
I actually did not really see the ingredient on the packet before opening the packet. So when I get to first come into contact with the liquid, I was pretty puzzled as it feels and touch like ....normal water! I feel like its cloth wet with water. :-/ Even the liquid looks like normal water. I then took the packet again and see the ingredient. Only then did I realize the ingredient only says ionized water. I then told myself, "water!!?? Can it really work a not??" I shall find out after using it. /hmm
After opening the packet
The mask I feel, is difficult to put on. When I place it on my face, it keeps dropping easily. Maybe its because the mask is not sticky or starchy, so it does not stay onto my face. So what I do is I have to really lay down my head, put the mask in place and as there are lots of liquid left in the packet, I slowly pour the remaining liquid onto the mask that is on my face until the mask on my face became very wet. Only then, the mask stays on my face without dropping. :|

During the application, there is really no much feeling. There is no pulling effect or poking effect like I feel in other brand's mask. The only thing I feel is my face is icy cool as I have place the mask in the refrigerator before using. :)

The mask dry very quickly. After around 15mins, the mask feel damp which I took it out. There is no extra residue left on your face after taking out. And you really have to lay down otherwise the mask will drop. 

My first reaction after taking out the mask is wow my face feel so refreshing. And as there is no extra residue left on your face, you just feel like you have not put on any mask before as your face really does not feel sticky at all. :D

My face feels so soothing and moisturized, just like my face just drink up lots of water. It feels amazingly smooth. I also realize that my pimples redness have been reduced a lot and the daily moisturizer that I apply can absorb better too. :)>-

Overall, I was very much surprised by the result this very simple mask with very simple ingredient (Ionized Water) can bring to my face. After using, it not only sooth my skin but also, my skin feels very moisturize, smooth and so refreshing. Whats more, it reduces my redness on my skin and all these results came instantly after using the mask. I will definitely recommend using it. /please

Where to buy it?
Seriously, other then their Facebook page, I really do not know how much and where to buy this mask. Like for me what I can do is only asked them through their Facebook page and wait for their come back.:(

Where to get sample?
I get this sample from HydroPure+ Facebook page around August 2012 last year and probably redemption ended as their Facebook says "Work in progress...check back soon".
