[Review] Whitening Booster Serum with Green Tea Polyphenols by Novexpert Paris

This is not our first-time experience with this French cosmeceuticals professional skincare brand called Novexpert Paris (here for more). In fact, we have tried out their other booster serum previously from the Vitamin C range, aptly called the Booster Serum with Vitamin C (here for more). This time around, we had a chance to give their green tea infused serum a go - Whitening Booster Serum with Green Tea Polyphenols, one that delivers anti-dark spot effectiveness. It contains EGCG, the most powerful antioxidant in green tea, up to 96% fewer dark spots in less than 2 months! Really excited about that. Here to share some of our thoughts with you.

[Review] Booster With Vitamin C by Novexpert Skincare Paris

We are always intrigued by a beauty product that could possibly tackle our pigmentation and overall dullness in our complexion and improve our skin texture and radiance in general. Novexpert Paris is a skincare that was introduced to us by a friend and by works of fate, one of their best-known products eventually landed in our mailbox many moons back. We were advised to give their Vitamin C range a try, hence we received their star vitamin of anti-aging approved by dermatologist, Booster with Vitamin C serum (here for more). What really got our attention about this cosmeceuticals brand is the fact that it is 100% natural origin, hypoallergenic and ...

0% preservatives
0% parabens
0% phenoxyethanol
0% silicones
0% mineral oils
0% animal origin ingredients
0% PEG and more.

Dubbed as "my anti-aging cosmeceuticals signed by French doctors", Novexpert is a skincare brand created by a team of four French doctors who are recognised experts and researchers in the skincare industry and believe that effective anti-aging formulations should be suitable for sensitive skin as well as safe for long term use - based on medical research. In fact, certifications issued by Ecocert guarantee and highlight the best environmentally friendly and socially conscious practices, and Novexpert is one of them. Ecocert certified products contain 99% ingredients of natural origin but this French brand goes beyond that, they are 100% natural, vegan  and hypoallergenic certified.

Let's talk a little about the Booster with Vitamin C Serum, shall we?

[Review] Kiehl's Precision Lifting & Pore Tightening Concentrate

Having a combination skin type, enlarged pores is part of our skin concern and we believe we are not alone. Kiehl's as a brand has also scientifically proven that sagging skin can lead to enlarged pores, even though loss of elasticity and facial definition are common aging concerns. Armed with the insights from extensive research, Kiehl's chemists developed a formula that goes beyond lifting to offer visible anti-aging, pore-tightening benefits - the Dermatologist Solutions Precision Lifting & Pore Tightening Concentrate. It is about time we share our experience using this serum. 

Featuring the power of highly refined Micro-Filtered Yeast Extract and Geranium Essential Oil, this clinically demonstrated formula is said to significantly improves the look of facial skin's overall "bounce-back" quality and definition, while visibly reducing the size and appearance of enlarged pores. Kiehl's Micro-filtered Yeast Extract has been purified to yield a potent, yet gentle ingredient and composed mostly of polysaccharides and proteins. (lifts skin and tightens pores) A careful choice of specific form of Geranium Essential Oil that is obtained through a steam distillation process also helps to preserve the most potent part of the compound to yield optimal results. 

[Review] Kiehl's Hydro-Plumping Re-Texturizing Serum Concentrate

Kiehl's has been a brand that is synonymous with naturally derived ingredients-based coupled with dermatologist skewed beauty products and had a long standing history dates back to more than 160 years ago founded as an old-world apothecary. (here for understanding). We have heard rave reviews about Kiehl's products, have seen the bright neon signage, the skeleton and lab coat personnels at the stores countless times but have never had the opportunity to experience them till recently. We are glad to introduce you to one of the skincare products that we had the pleasure to try out - the Hydro-Plumping Re-Texturizing Serum Concentrate. 

Inspired by new dermatology hydration procedures, this innovative formula anchors moisture deep within skin's surface layers to address age-related dehydration issues which are caused by an imbalance of moisture within the skin that occurs as we age, making our skin more prone to showing signs of aging sooner. Some of the signs of aging would be fine lines, wrinkles, dull and tiring looking skin. So, if fresh, plump and youthful skin is what we aim to achieve, perhaps this would be the answer?

[Review] Melvita Organic Pulpe De Rose Plumping Radiance Serum

We had the pleasure to try out Melvita's Organic Pulpe De Rose Plumping Radiance Serum, right about the same time when we were using their Pulpe De Rose Plumping Radiance Duo Facial Oil (reviewed here) previously. You would have guessed it right, we love that facial oil, and still do.

Organic skincare is something that will always get our interest piqued for natural ingredients from organic farming incorporated in a skincare product do not only make the product more appealing, they are also gentler to the skin and the environment and the world that we live in, and harvest from. That respect for our mother nature by French skincare brand like Melvita is something we truly appreciate. 

The Ingredients

Fine lines and wrinkles are a natural progression in life, but we can always have a better approach by preventing the aging process sooner by using an anti-aging product like the Melvita Pulpe De Rose Plumping Radiance Serum, at an earlier stage. This serum has a concentration of energizing and smoothing active ingredients, coupled with rose floral water, and it is designed to do just that - smooth away the signs of aging, first wrinkles to reveal a more radiant skin tone. Enriched with marsh clover, with recognized antioxidant properties, it provides long-lasting action to keep the skin firm and renewed.

[Review] Innisfree Whitening Pore Synergy Serum

Part of the Dual-Functioning Whitening and Pore Line, Korean naturalism brand, Innisfree's Whitening Pore Synergy Serum is designed specifically just for that purpose - to brighten skin tone while treating pores concurrently to reveal a brighter, even and luminous skin. This very purpose itself got us super excited when we were presented this product from Innisfree Malaysia, some time back, to give it a go, as visibly enlarged pores and dark spots are two of our major skin concerns, for combination type skin like ours. 

The recent cosmetic study on Asian women by AmorePacific, the parent company of Innisfree demonstrated that there is a strong correlation between pore size and skin tone. The finding showed that enlarged pores bring about rough and uneven skin texture which eventually leads to a dull overall skin tone. For us, the dark spots were developed over time over the years as we were too naive to believe in the importance of sun care back in our university time when we were very active in outdoor sports under the scorching sun most of the time. 

[Review] The Innisfree Green Tea Seed Serum

We have always been a fan of green tea, Japanese green tea to be exact. These days, we drink a hot cup of green tea plus lemon grass before we head to bed. Green tea has been known for its anti-oxidant properties and health promoting qualities. Naturally, green tea infused skincare would be quite an appealing idea. We were delighted when we were presented by Innisfree Malaysia (here for more) to give one of their Green Tea skincare products a try some time back. 

Famous for its pristine fresh air, natural greens and organic farming, Innisfree Green Tea Seed Serum is supposedly a part of the brand's 5-free system: free from parabens, synthetic colorants, mineral oil, animal-originated ingredients and imdazolidinyl urea (read more about it here if you are curious). That sounds awesome. This serum is actually the first step to your skincare, after your facial cleansing. It has as high as 75.9% Jeju Island green tea extract. This is a moisturizing serum with the organic Jeju green tea water and green tea seeds to hydrate your skin from within and what's best is that it is 100% squeezed green tea. Rich in amino acids and minerals, this sounds like one product that your skin will thank you for *_^
