Natural Derma Project Cica Bio-Placenta Cream Review

Natural Derma Project Cica Bio-Placenta Cream

Bought for: Free | SRP: P1,950

From: Charis Shop

I've recently changed my skincare routine since I already emptied most of the products I've been using for the last couple of months. One of the product that's been with me last month and up until today (though almost running out) is this Natural Derma Project Cica Bio-Placenta Cream which is what we're going to talk about in this review.

CLAIMS

Natural Derma Project Cica Bio-Placenta Cream helps in skin rejuvenation and scar healing effects. It also boosts cell vitalization and strengthens the skin's immunity. With its potent ingredients, it can soothe skin troubles and redness and also increases skin's vitality. It also works to hydrate skin, ease skin troubles, acne and scars.

This also claims to the the perfect product if your concern is uneven skin because of scars and sensitive skin that often gets acne.

INGREDIENTS

This product has Bio-Placenta (main ingredient) that uses extracts from plants and their components are close to Human Placenta. It boosts skin cell growth to fight aging, improves skin elasticity and softens out scars and redness. Another active ingredient is the very famous Centella Asiatica Extract from Madagascar that heals scars, appeases scar marks and is known to be an anti-wrinkle ingredient. It is the main ingredient of Cica creams known for its excellent healing effect.

Another ingredient that is found in this cream is Bio-Water which is a special ingredient of Natural Derma Project, made to resemble body fluid and provides natural skin moisturization. It contains amino acid, protein, phospholipid, ceramide, oleic acid, acetyl glutamin and other skin-friendly components.

DIRECTIONS, INGREDIENTS, CAUTIONS

PACKAGING

The product is well-packed, comes with a cardboard box that's loaded with information about the product. Inside is a jar with a silver cap. It looks very simple but also sits very nicely on the vanity area. It comes with a plastic inner seal  and a spatula for sanitary purposes. I appreciate this because I don't need to dip my fingers over and over and I don't have to worry about it being contaminated. Just to be sure though, make sure you use clean fingers.

SCENT, TEXTURE AND EASE OF APPLICATION

It has a subtle herbal scent that I don't find off-putting at all. The cream looks shiny and watery from the inside so I kind of expected that it will be suitable for oily skin. At first glance, it reminds me of Belif The True Cream Aqua Bomb because of the watery texture though the latter is only ever so slightly tinted. Both are formulated to be thin, almost gel-like in consistency. Also, both are almost on the same price point.

You'll know the difference in consistency upon application. The NDP has a thinner consistency but leaves a shinier, more moisturized layer. If you have drier skin, you'll find this product more suitable for you. I have oily skin so despite the gel cream texture, I find it a little heavy and warming, hence, more oil and sweat during the day.

PERFORMANCE

This is definitely a hydrating cream and the combination of Bio-Placenta, Centella Asiatica Extract and Bio-Water are effective to soothe and moisturize the skin to prevent early signs of aging. I'm sure you know that the more hydrated you are, the more it would take for your skin to age. I like that this cream does its job in repairing the skin as I see the improvement after just two weeks of use. My blemishes and pimple scars are lightened, redness subsided and I would also credit it to other products I use this cream with. The good thing is that this product complements my skincare and doesn't trigger any allergic reactions. Also, I noticed that whenever I use this, my pimples are healed faster and they dry up easier.

After more than a month of use, my skin has really softened and brightened so if you are really looking for a maintenance cream that boosts skin rejuvenation and repair troubles, you might want to give this a try. I'm still contemplating whether or not to repurchase because of the price point that I couldn't justify. This product is not that miraculous for me to splurge almost P2000 for a single tub. And there are other creams that are as effective and can be availed at a fraction of this product's price. If you have the budget though, go and have fun!

If this product interests you, you can purchase this in my Charis Shop for a discounted price! Happy blogging!

Charis M+ Madecassoside Cica Cream Review

Charis M+ Madecassoside Cica Cream

SRP: P1190 (50ml) | P870 (30ml)

From: Charis

Finally! I know Charis will come up with their very own product but I did not expect it to be this soon. I'm sure I'm not the only one who kept on guessing what their first product would be but I was so happy that it's a multi-functional cream. I haven't tried a lot of Cica Creams before, in fact I think I only had one apart from this and that was the very popular Centellian 24 Madeca Derma Cream which was a so-so. When I received these in the mail, I eventually tried it and now that I think I had enough time of road-testing, I'm going to share with you how it works for me. Please keep reading after the short break!

CLAIMS

Charis M+ Madecassoside Cica Cream claims to be a multi high tech solution for sensitized skin and works to clarify, lift, relax and moisten the skin. It contains Madecassoside and Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract providing delicate hydration and moisturization effects to the sensitive skin damaged from external stimulation. 

INGREDIENTS

There are tons of ingredients found in this product and mostly are extracts from plants and herbs. About 58% are composed of Tiger Leaf Extract or also known as Centella Asiatica so if you don't have any problems with that, this may be safe for you. I haven't had any problems with this ingredient before so I'm not very cautious when I tried this. It's claimed as a cream for all skin types but better be safe. If you are sensitive to any extracts listed down below, I highly suggest to do a patch test first as we never know the exact concentration and how your skin will react towards it.

PACKAGING

I was given both the 30 and the 50 ml tubes but they are housed in the same packaging. It comes with a teal and white cardboard box that has all the information you will ever need about the product including the claims, directions for use, ingredient and expiry date (one year after opening).

The product itself is contained in an aluminum tube that looks very clinical and hygienic. I imagine putting on some ointment as I use it. It's lightweight and travel-friendly though just like what you expect, it's kinda hard to scrape the very last drops. I cut my skin about twice while I was trying to do that. It's nothing serious though.

The mouth is sealed with an aluminum upon purchase for sanitary purposes and I like that it's easy to control the amount to use. I would appreciate if it comes with a pointed nozzle though.

APPLICATION

I use this product twice every day. First thing in the morning after toner and before sunscreen and at the last step of my night time skincare. I only use half a pea-sized amount since a little goes a long way. I make sure to apply more on the drier areas such as around the eyes and neck. It's also a great soothing cream to apply anywhere your body after you wax or do either chemical or physical exfoliation to calm redness and irritation.

SCENT, TEXTURE AND EASE OF APPLICATION

The cream has a little bit of an herbal scent, almost to the point that it's indistinguishable. The product has an opaque white color and has a very rich and creamy texture. It has a consistent formulation and true enough, it gets absorbed by the skin easily without any stickiness. The good thing about it is that you can layer it with makeups though your base might move around and cake on the latter part of the day. This cream warms my skin and my face is oilier during midday whenever I have this on. And when there's oil, you know what happens to your base. You will also wake up with a face looking like a grease ball. It must be the summer but I think this cream is the culprit as I'm not as oily when it's just my regular toner and cream.

PERFORMANCE

Despite the fact that it makes my skin so oily, it doesn't clog my pores or causes breakouts. Because of the rich texture, it's able to soften the skin, lessen redness overtime and make it look healthier and plumper. It's best to use during night time when your skin is healing and you'll wake up with smoother and clearer skin. Since it's formulated to be highly moisturizing, this will be more suitable for those with dry skin and as a cream to moisturize the areas where frequent loss of moisture occur--eyes and neck. Remember what beauty gurus say, the more your skin is moisturized, the longer it will take to age. Do keep that in mind.

Another thing I'd like to point out is that it works as a hand and foot cream too! It's able to soften calluses on the soles and palms and moisture stays longer. It might be on the steeper side of skin care but do take note that a little goes a long way so it's still worth the repurchase.

If you are interested on this new and exclusive product of Charis, your can visit my Charis Shop: https://hicharis.net/hannanicolas/el7 to get yours at a heavily discounted price! Happy blogging!

Greens Are Good For You: New Beauty Products Available At My Charis Shop

You can never argue with your moms when they tell you to eat greens because they are healthy foods. But greens are not always taken orally because you can also apply them to your skin! I know this summer is quite intense--add the fact that I'm too stressed of the whole adulting thing-y and work loads--so I guess it shows on my complexion. I'm glad I'm equipped with beauty products that helps hydrate, nourish and calm my dull, irritated skin.

CHARIS M+ MADECASSOSIDE CICA CREAM - (P1000) P870/30g | P1190/50g

This is the first ever product of Charis and I'm happy they've created their very own Cica Cream. This is claimed as a multi high tech solution for sensitized skin and formulated to clarify, lift, relax and moisturize skin. It contains Madecassoside and Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract that provide delicate hydration and moisturization effects to sensitive skin damaged from external stimulation.

BONAJOUR GREEN TEA WATER BOMB - (P1010) P880

MUSTUS CHLO GAUZE PEELING PAD - P1540

This product is also rich in Chlorophyll and also in PHA (less stimulus peeling ingredients) which has less dermal penetration that AHA and BHA. This product is a perfect dead skin cell care because of the double-sided texture. It will make skin smooth and healthy by eliminating skin wastes.

MUSTUS CHLO GEL CREAM - P1840

Formulated considering a systematic ingredient planning for troubled skin. It has Parsley Extract (Chlorophyll), PHA, Papaya Extract, Centella Asiatica Extract, Tea Tree Extract and Sepicontrol A5 that ensures clear and moist skin without any stickiness.

If you have angry skin with bumps, skin that got cranky and sensitive, has sufficient oil but little moisture and rough and dull skin, this product is for you. Formulated with the green energy of Chlorophyll enriched in Parsley extract, Chlo Ampule helps pacify the trouble-prone skin condition into a crystal clear complexion with its excellent anti-oxidant properties.

That's pretty much everything. All of these are available in my CHARIS SHOP! The best thing is buying them at an exclusive price so you get to save a few extra bucks! I will be posting my own reviews about these in the upcoming blogs so stay tuned!

DIY Project With Stud Lace No-Tie, No-Bow Shoelaces

Now that I’ve think about it, I seldom blog about DIY projects although I’ve done quite a lot in the past—from skincare to household. Recently, I did another one with Stud Lace No-Tie, No-Bow Shoelaces I got from Charis. It’s a very easy DIY project, that I guarantee, and we’ll never know how much convenience it will give us until we’re done. Shall we start then?

ABOUT THE PRODUCT

WHAT YOU NEED?

Stud Lace No-Tie, No-Bow Shoelaces set. It includes two garterized laces that is good for a pair of shoes. There are six pieces each of studs and stud bases and you’ll have to use four pairs right away. Two pairs are considered backups and you will be needing that in case the studs broke. Having backups are always a good idea, don’t you think? Manual is included too and they are all neatly placed in a transparent PVC pouch.

THE MANUAL

HOW TO DO IT?

I had to make my own virtual manual on how I make things so easy. It barely took me ten minutes to complete everything. So first, you must have a clean, lace-free sneakers. I am using my printed Keds sneakers that I got on sale. Insert the laces just like how you would ribbon your shoes. Don’t make it too tight. Then, insert the stud base as close as possible to the shoe eyelets and then tie a tight knot before you cut the extra laces. Pop the studs and then repeat the process on the other side. Easy peasy, right?

If you are someone who always hurry and wanted to save extra time in lacing ribbons, this is the best bet for you. It’s very simple and comfortable. The laces are made with high grade latex for maximum comfort with zero sagging and will provide a very convenient slip-on experience. Both the laces and studs come in different colors that you can choose from whatever your shoes' colorway is. You can also mix and match the laces based on your preference.

You can snag these for only $7.99 when you visit my CHARIS SHOP!

3 Perfect Gift Ideas You Can Find At My Charis Celeb Shop

I am a member of CHARIS CELEB family and what makes me so grateful is the fact that I get to try not just skincare or makeup products along the way, but adorable items too that's definitely worth your every buck. A few weeks ago, I was so lucky to be approved to try three (3) items that I've been bringing and wearing nonstop. Let me share with you what they are.

MARYMOND PEACH BLOSSOM SKETCH POUCH

RETAIL PRICE: $13.32 | MY PRICE: $11.99

The is an eco-friendly pouch with carefully sewn patches and floral patterns. The outside material is made of cotton and the fabric isn't stretchable as much I'd love it to be. The zipper feels sturdy and closes smoothly. The size of the pouch is approximately 20.5 cm in width and 14 cm in length. I love the fact that it fits basic makeup inside like powder, blush, lipstick and a mascara comfortably. It's size is very compact and can be used to store your phone, some cards and power bank too. It comes in two (2) colors: white and blue. I just picked the white one because it just looks very basic and simple.

 

According to the website, Marymond designed this pouch with peach petal patterns as it symbolizes hope as a reminder to the life stories of victims of "Military Sexual Slavery by Japan" during World Wide II. If you have been reading my blog for quite a while now, you'll know how I love to support brands that create products with charitable purpose and goal.

WING BLING GLOW MOON NECKLACE AND BRACELET

RETAIL PRICE: $21.72 | MY PRICE: $18.89

When I applied for this product, I was only allowed to choose one and I opted for the bracelet. I was so surprised when it has the accompanying necklace on the package. There's two options: White and Blue Moons. I opted for the Blue Moon because it reminds me of Korean dramas I've watched before. I couldn't remember the title anymore but I think Blue Moon has something to do with the story plot.

When I first saw it on Charis Celeb Try Me page, I was so eager to apply even though I know my chance is very little. These two cost a bit much more than skincare products I've been approved to try before but I still took my chance. You can only imagine my happiness when Charis sent me not just one, but two dream catcher items!

 

I am so impressed with glow-in-the-dark products that I fell in love at first sight with Wing Bling's  Glow Moon collection. I just think that they go well with whatever you wear and they are very simple jewelries with style.

 

These are 100% pure silver jewel collection and the plating is done non-nickel to prevent skin allergies. My skin reacts to fake accessories oftentimes and so I'm glad these are made of quality and genuine materials. According to the information card, silver has health benefits too like protecting you from electromagnetic waves and keeps hormone balance. I don't really think it's of importance but it pays to know. You may have heard of it but I haven't yet!

 

Look at my Blue Moon glowing so bright! You only need a few minutes to recharge it with the use of either natural or artificial lights. Glow above was due to my photography studio LED lights.
