It is easy to apply. My skin is able to absorb the serum well and it gave my skin an instant smooth feel. My skin look less dull and more brighten. 


The cons I personally feel is that the container makes it quite difficult to see how much I have used my serum. Also for people with combination and oily skin, it does not help on blemish although it does help to improve my skin reducing the number of occurrence.

Overall, this is a good serum to add to our skincare routine.

Directions.

My Review

Serum is one skincare product that should not be skipped. It helps to improve a lot on our skin condition that other skincare product lack of. 

The triple serum came in a unique purple gradient plastic bottle. 

Unique purple gradient plastic bottle.

As there are 3 serum in 1 bottle, each serum is contain in separate cylinder, therefore, there are 3 holes on the serum pump. 
3 holes on the serum pump.

Although the bottle is unique, I actually had quite a problem using the serum due to the bottle.

When I first use, there is only 1 transparent serum that came out of the pump. I tried pump a few time before the second white serum came out. But in the process, a lot of the first transparent serum is wasted. 

Using the serum for almost 1 month, still only 2 serum came out of the pump. Only few weeks after 1 month, the third yellowish serum came out. 

Therefore for almost one and a half month, I did not actually fully use triple serum. In the process did not really benefit fully from it. 

Press to dispense the 3 serum from the bottle.

The triple serum came in 3 different serum in 3 different texture. After mixing, they are actually not too oily to use and absorb very fast on my skin. 
3 different serum in 3 different texture.

After using for so long, it does keep my skin smooth and hydrated. 

However, from my own opinion, I don't think it is worth spending my money on it as it is quite expensive. Also, they are actually 3 different serum mix into one. With the problematic bottle, I don't think I will buy a new one after this bottle finished. 

But if you have the budget and wish to try, it is great to get them during sale. They do actually still helps to improve my skin condition. 

Where to buy it?

Lancome Renergie H.C.F. Triple Serum can be purchase from Lancome Beauty Counter, online store and department store at a retail price of S$235.

My Review

Taking care of our skin takes time and effort. If there is a device that makes your skin feels like finishing facial in just minutes, will you give it a try? 

Recently, I got my skin a new device: Skin Inc De-Age LED EMS Skin Booster.

This is not the first time I use Skin Inc devices.But it's the first time for skin booster device.

It is quite easy to use. But it needs some reading and trial the first time I use the device to get the hang of it. 

The device vibrate and light up (red light) when activated. 


I was actually shock by the needle-like feel when I first use the device. It feels like I am using a bundle of needles to poke my skin. But after a while, my skin got use to it and it actually feels good.

I really feel like doing facial at home and it only took me a few minutes to complete. 

Also I can already see little improvement after my first use. My skin is less puffy and skin feels tighten and lifted. 

Skin feels tightened at the side with application.

I have been using the device for around 2 months already. 
It is especially obvious when I smile. I can see that my skin feels lifted (around my jawline) and laugh lines minimized.

As for the eye area, It does help to minimize the puffiness. But I feel that it didn't help much for my dark circle and fine lines. 

Before and after use.

It says that the battery last for around 2 months. But I have been using pass that and the battery is still going strong. 

Overall, this is a great device to invest in. It does improve my skin condition and is easy to use. Budget wise, it is consider affordable in my opinion as I am getting 1 device and 2 tube of serum for the price of one.  

Where to buy it?

Skin Inc De-Age LED EMS Skin Booster (20ml x 2) can be purchase from Skin Inc official website, retail store, Lazada, Shopee, Sephora and Department Store. It is price at S$188 as of this writing.

Skin Inc Serum Glow Filter (30ml)

Have you ever wanted to leave house with least makeup but still wish your skin give you a selfie filter look? Recently, I came across Skin Inc Serum Glow Filter. It says to give your skin a selfie filter in real life.

My Review

For me, I am always lazy to put on full makeup. I like my skin well prepared in the shortest amount of time.

Therefore, I am really excited to try Skin Inc Serum Glow Filter because it says to give me a selfie filter look.That means less powder and less concealer needed to me. So I am definitely very excited to try them. 

The Serum Filter came in a nice transparent bottle.

It came with a pump and a cover.

It takes quite sometime to pump the serum out of the bottle during the first pump. But subsequent pump is ok.

The Serum Filter has a gel like texture with small beats. It is non oily and contain no smell.

Gel like texture with small beats.

It is very easy to apply and skin absorb the serum fast. 

The serum does help to hydrate the skin. This really helps to prepare my skin for makeup application. 

However, other than that, I see no other filter effect such as less pore, skin brightening. If you have very good skin, this product will be perfect for a good finished with less powder and concealer used after application. 

But if you have problematic skin like me, it is not helping in term of less visibility for dull, uneven and pimple scar skin. Concealer is still much needed to cover them before I can have a selfie filter look. 

Half of my skin is applied with Serum Glow Filter. (Sorry forget which side)
But I can't really see the different with or without.

Therefore, for me, I don't really see the need to use them since I have to use the same amount of time and effort with or without using them. Personally budget wise, I don't really recommend. But if you are having great skin with the budget, then go ahead to experience this different type of primer.

Where to buy them?

Skin Inc Serum Glow Filter can be purchase from Skin Inc Website at retail price of S$78. They can also be found at their official online store in Lazada and Shopee.
