My Review

My skin is always prone to blemish and dehydration which caused skin oiliness and dullness. And if you have seen my past blog post, I mentioned that I have acne skin during my 20s. 

How do I take care of my troubled skin? Well I had the chance of knowing Jill Lowe products during my school days and I am glad that I do as it helps to resolve my acne problem back then.

Until now, I will always turn to Jill Lowe products when my skin is troubled with blemish and other issues.

Recently, I added 3 Jill Lowe products to my skincare routine. Let me share them with you. 

First, Skin brightening cleanser. 

Skin Brightening Cleanser (Sample Size)

This cleanser has a transparent gel like texture. It is easy to lather. 

Transparent gel like texture.

My skin feels cleanse off dirt and oil. There is no tight feel and my skin touches smooth and feels supply after used. 

I added Jill Lowe cellular repair hydrator too. 

Cellular Repair Hydrator (sample size)

This hydrator has a transparent liquid texture. It is not oily and not sticky and easy absorbed by my skin. It gave my skin instant refreshing and hydrating feeling. After using for 1 week, my skin feels smooth and less dull. 

Transparent liquid texture.

Lastly, acne skin recovery cream. 

Acne Skin Recovery Cream (15ml)

I like to call this a magic cream. As it helps to magically make my blemish disappear without leaving any scar behind. 

This recovery cream has a lightweight cream texture. It comes with a light smell during application that smells like Chinese herbs. (If you have taken Ya-Hom powder from five pagodas brand, it smell a little alike.)

Lightweight cream texture.

It is easy to blend into my skin and it gave my skin a cooling feel. It is able to calm my skin redness as well as clear my blemish. And I also realize after using for 1 week that my pores around my nose area actually minimized.

Overall, after adding these 3 products to my skincare routine, my skin feels smoother, less oily, more hydrated and less blemish and pores as well. Truly recommend them to you if you are having the same issue.

My Review
This is a 3 patches sample pack redeemed from SampleStore.com.

Each patch came covered using release paper.

Removing half of the release paper, I can see that the patch is very thin.
Removed half of the release paper.
My pimple has been days old and I purposely waited until there is acne pus and about ready before I try to stick this product on the pimple.
Before using the patch.

The patch is easy to put on and what I like is that it is not so visibly seen. So I don't have to be afraid of it being ugly on my face.
During application. It looks almost invisible.

I place the patch on my face about half a day before I remove it before I go for a shower. There is a white color in the middle of the patch.
Just before taking out the patch.
Pulling it out is not at all painful and its easy too. And what I like about the patch is that it is able to pull the pus out. Really effective to help clear acne at a faster rate. No more squeezing out the pus using fingers (which is wrong I know, but whoops, I just can't help using fingers to squeeze it), which is so difficult and will leave ugly scar. Ermm.... the patch looks really eww.......
Acne pus absorbed by the patch. 
Instead of taking weeks for the acne to fully recover, it now take days to recover. After 3 days, I check on the acne again and its 95% recovered with only the pus opening to heal. Much neater then using finger to squeeze.
Immediately after taking out.
3 days later.
This acne patch is really very effective for my acne especially those of my acne with pus. Its able to absorb the pus and then extract them out. Acne and acne scar is able to heal much faster. Also, the patch looks invisible after applying. Totally love the product.

Review: Trilogy Blemish Control Gel

Trilogy Blemish Control Gel (20ml)
Today review is on Trilogy Blemish Control Gel. I receive this from Fusion cosmetic during Christmas in 2014. Thanks once again to Fusion Cosmetic for pampering me. :)

This blemish control gel really did help to clear away my blemish without leaving any dry patches or scar on my skin. Although it does not do it fast enough in my opinion, it does finally do away with my blemish. Its another brand of blemish control product to add on to my list. 

Trilogy Blemish Control Gel Summary

It is a highly effective botanical blemish blaster: 
  • Salicylic acid: helps to clear congestion and debris. 
  • Lemongrass and mandarin: help control breakouts and aid healing.
  • Cucumber: cool and soothe. 
  • Ginger: help reduce inflammation. 
  • Certified organic rosehip oil: help repair skin.

The blemish gel came with a tube.

How the gel look liked.
As for smell, I didn't really smell anything while applying the gel. 

I have tried to apply the gel to some big and small blemish on my skin. During application, I did not really feel any biting effect or anything at all. It feels cooling after apply. 

The blemish itself takes a few days to clear away. Having been using blemish removal from other brand, I personally do feel that this trilogy blemish control gel takes a bit more time to clear away blemish. 

But one thing it does better is that it does not leave any dry patches or scar on my skin when the blemish is about to heal. 
Before use.

Price wise, I feel that its reasonable and not too expensive. Hmm.....this will be another brand of blemish control product to add on to my list.

Where to buy it?
Trilogy Blemish Control Gel is available at all Beauty By Nature and selected John Little stores for a retail price of S$48 (20ml). 

Where to get samples?
There is currently no sample redemption. But you may go to Beauty By Nature Store to try asking the staff if there is sample to try.
