I have not try this brand's product before and this is the first time I am trying it. After using, I find that this cleanser do not really suit me.

My Review
This is a sample I redeemed around March 2013.

The Physiogel Cleanser has a white gel like texture. Its non-soapy and does not produce any fragrance smell. 

White gel-like texture.

It is really non-soapy. As no matter how, I could not lather any soap from the cleanser. But I did find it harder to use than other brand's non-soapy cleanser. :|

Non-soapy.

After using, I find that this cleanser do not really suit me. I find that this cleanser is too gentle that my T-Zone area still feels oily and dirty after washing, especially the nose area. Totally not refreshing and clean at all, as the oiliness that still stays onto my skin really bothers me. /omg

However, one thing that I felt after using this cleanser is that it does hydrate my skin because those dry area on my skin feels hydrated and not dry anymore. 

It is stated that it can be use without water. Although I do not really like the feeling, I still go ahead to it. After removing the cleanser with a cotton wool, my face feel very sticky which is what I'm not really use to. /sweat So after trying, I still use water to wash it off. :)

Overall, this cleanser do not really suit me as my face still feel oily at the T-Zone area after washing. Therefore, I will not buy and use it. :(

I will not recommend this cleanser to people with oily T-Zone like me. But if you have non-oily sensitive skin, you may want to give it a try. :D

Review: Hada Labo Perfect Gel

Hada Labo Perfect Gel - 3 in 1 Ultra Hydrating Gel (80g)

This first mid-week review will be on Hada Labo Perfect Gel (3 in 1 Ultra Hydrating Gel). Thanks to Hada Labo for their Perfect Gel (3 in 1 Ultra Hydrating Gel). 

Having heard of positive feedback on Hada Labo products, I am pretty excited to receive and use this Hada Labo Perfect Gel. To be honest, I do have high expectation for this product. 

After using, I am very satisfied with this Hada Labo Perfect Gel. It makes my skin so hydrated, smooth and bright. Most importantly, after using for a few days, the Perfect Gel do not cause pimples on my face. Also, its not expensive and the hydrating effect is so long lasting. /please

I will definitely continue to use it and will recommend it, especially to busy people like me because a 3-in-1 product means no need different essence, moisturizer, etc anymore. Just this 1 Perfect Gel does it all. Effective and time saving!

Hada Labo Perfect Gel Summary
Lets start with Information about the Perfect Gel by Hada Labo:

Sleep is the time when the body repairs itself. During these optimal seven to nine hours of sleep, the body is rested both physically and mentally from a day’s activities. As such, many hair, face and body products are most effective overnight as the body absorbs it better. Hada Labo introduces the new Hada Labo Perfect Gel to replenish the skin’s moisture while you sleep.
 
Being all essence, cream and mask at once (3-in-1), the Hada Labo Perfect Gel is also suitable for daily use with the ability to provide 24 hours deep moisturizing effect with its five main ingredients.

The Hada Labo Perfect Gel has a rich cream texture that is non-sticky, allowing your skin to feel light even after applying. Its versatility and effectiveness has won the hearts of so many women that it is No.1. Sales in ‘All-in-One’ gel product segment in Japan. 

5 types of moisturizing Ingredients:
3 Types of Hyaluronic Acid for deep and long-lasting moisturization:

• Hyaluronic Acid is able to hold 6l of water per gram, providing intense moisture to the skin when applied.
• Super Hyaluronic Acid is able to hold 2X as much water than Hyaluronic Acid per gram, providing maximum moisturization.
• Nano Hyaluronic Acid is able to penetrate deep into the skin, providing long lasting and deep moisture to the skin.

Collagen:  

• As the body’s collagen levels decline, the skin starts to age with wrinkles, large pores and poor skin clarity. The Hada Labo Perfect Gel contains collagen to provide firm, elastic and wrinkle-free skin. 

Ceramide:

• Skin that lacks ceramide is often dry, irritated, and often easily affected by the sun and dust in air. Hada Labo Perfect Gel help to hold and repair the surface skin cells together for a healthy, smooth skin.

  

  What is said on the packet.

You may go to Hada Labo Facebook Page to query about their products and also Hada Labo website for other products as well.   

How to use Hada Labo Perfect Gel?
After cleansing and applying lotion (toner), take sufficient amount and spread over face and neck. Then massage gently for the perfect gel to be well absorbed into skin. 

This perfect gel can be use as a mask. Therefore, it can be apply overnight as a sleeping mask. 

I also saw on the bottle of the perfect gel, instruction in Chinese about how to use together with makeup: 

1. Cleanse, apply lotion, then this Perfect Gel as mention above. 
2. Before makeup, gently apply lotion (toner) again to remove leftover perfect gel.

My Review
Thanks to Hada Labo for their Perfect Gel (3 in 1 Ultra Hydrating Gel). Before I start on Perfect Gel, lets divert a little into another cute thing I received together with the Perfect Gel. :D

What I received from Hada Labo.

I received a Hada Labo Panda Eye Mask together with the Perfect Gel. Ohh... this panda eye mask is so cute. /please Looking at the back of the packet, Wow! This eye mask actually have so many benefits. Well, now I can make good use of this cute eye mask for my beloved sleep. :P

Hada Labo Panda Eye Mask

Benefit of the eye mask.

Ok, back to real business. :) The Hada Labo Perfect Gel comes in a nice golden yellow container. 

Hada Labo Perfect Gel container (80g)

The perfect gel has a white cream texture. The gel is very thick with no fragrance smell. 

White cream thick texture.

One thing that I always look out for due to my pimples prone skin, the gel is not oily. Oily products turns me off. This gel feel aqua to me rather than oily. 

Although its stated that this gel is non-sticky, when the perfect gel is just apply onto my skin, my skin feel a bit sticky. Maybe because its also a sleeping mask, that's why the stickiness when just apply. /hmm But this stickiness is gone after messaging for a while. My skin feels smooth and soft to touch after that. :D

Apply Perfect Gel.

Message the Perfect Gel into skin

After applying

After applying for a while, I can see that my skin looks more hydrated and not dull looking. Those dry areas feels moisturize and those oily areas does not feel oily but hydrated. I also do notice those irritated area on my skin feels better too.

Next day morning after I wake up, my skin is still so hydrated after one night in the air-con room. /XD

That's not all. This perfect gel is really long lasting. After one whole day from work in the air-con, my face is still so hydrated and smooth. Usually excess oil will start to appear on my face towards the afternoon or evening. But after using this perfect gel, I notice my face is less oily and less tired looking too. (When skin is hydrated, it produces less excess oil :) )

Before and After use.

Overall, I am very satisfied with this Hada Labo Perfect Gel. It makes my skin so hydrated, smooth and bright. Most importantly, after using for a few days, the Perfect Gel do not cause pimples on my face. Also, its not expensive and the hydrating effect is so long lasting. /please

I will definitely continue to use it and will recommend it, especially to busy people like me because a 3-in-1 product means no need different essence, moisturizer, etc anymore. Just this 1 Perfect Gel does it all. Effective and time saving! :D

This week review is on Meishoku Detclear Bright and Peel Fruits Peeling Jelly (Mixed Berries Fragrance). This was the prizes that I won playing Confirmtrading Beauty Trove.

Overall, this product is able to remove dead skin cell and make my skin smooth and refreshing, at the same time, pores minimize. An added bonus for this product is it produces nice fruit fragrance smell. This will be a slightly cheaper alternative choice for removing dead skin cell. :D

My Review
This was the prizes that I won playing Confirmtrading Beauty Trove. 

This product reminded me of Cure Natural Aqua Gel, which also exfoliate and remove dead skin cell. So lets see how this Meishoku Detclear Bright and Peel Fruits Peeling Jelly perform. 

This product came in nice 180ml bottle with pump. There is a pump lock too. So its easier to bring this product around when traveling.   

How the product look like.

The fruit peeling jelly is cloudy white in color. It has a watery gel like texture. The jelly itself is not solid. When I pump the peeling jelly out, it produces a nice light sweet berries fragrance smell. :)

Peeling Jelly has a watery gel like texture

As usual, I cleanse my face and pat dry it. Then I pump around 4 pumps onto my hand and then massage them onto my pat dry face. 

The peeling jelly is not sticky at all. I find it more aqua. As I massage, the peeling jelly produces more sweet berries fragrance smell. Just like those jelly berries that I eat. :P

After massage for a while, white particles appears. Areas like nose and chin produces more white particles for me. Meaning more dead skin and blackheads from those areas. One thing I notice, its not difficult at all to massage onto skin even if my fingers are wet. One thing I like about. 

White particles appear after massage.

Its not difficult to wash the white particles off face. Those white particles does not stick onto my face like some other brand exfoliator. Those white particles produces after massaging the peeling jelly wash off easily, leaving my skin feeling smooth, clean and refreshing.   

.

After wash off

There is no layer of gel like feeling leaving on my face. Coz this gel like feeling sometimes makes me feel like I have not cleanly wash away the peeling jelly. :P

It does remove my dead skin cell and sebum. I can see my pores became smaller after use. It does remove blackheads but not all of them. Those very stubborn blackheads are still around. But I guess removing blackheads takes time especially stubborn once. 

As compare to Cure Natural Aqua Gel, its really similar to me. No much different except Cure have no fragrance smell and its gel is more solid, not watery. Other than that, its after use effect is similar to me. Oh one more thing, Cure is slightly more expensive. /XD

Nose area BEFORE using.

Nose area AFTER using. Pores minimize and skin look slightly brighter.

Overall, this product is able to remove dead skin cell and make my skin smooth and refreshing, at the same time, pores minimize. An added bonus for this product is it produces nice fruit fragrance smell. This will be a slightly cheaper alternative choice for effective removing of dead skin cell product. /please

Where to buy it?

Where to get sample?
No sample redemption for this product. /floor But you may go Confirm Trading Facebook Page for future promotions. :)
