Barely a month ago I bought Divine range - Lotion & Cream; Immortelle Toner. I still continue using its' Roll on Eye gel which I find very effective on tired eyes and also help on blood circulation with the help of its' roller plus non sticky. BUT, I have entirely stopped using its' skincare that I had invested on. Costed me a bomb and wasted down the sea :( Toner so far is okay and I do not think it can have any bad reaction on my skin as it is fresh and water base. However, the Divine Lotion & Cream have bigger reaction on my lymph-nodes area. Like my previous postings on skincare, Anti-Aging products are usually not my type. Divine is an Anti-Aging formula with advance and much more smaller molecule and was told my skin may accept it. Alas, not in my case. Therefore, I have congested lymph-nodes.
TO THE RESCUE: like always....Skinfood to the rescue of my skin..LOL..yes!! you read it right, Skinfood!! But need awhile for the congested to become matured. Skinfood helps on calming my skin and prevent/stop from it becoming worse. At the same time, heal the congested.
There you go, I cannot review much on L'occitane as it does not work well on me. Moving on...
Blue Oak Valley (BOV)
It is a Malaysian company. Claimed to be fully organic, cruelty free, environment friendly with no chemical substance. Ingredients sourced globally and locally produced. Was introduced to me by a friend of mine who gave good review on it. So, I gave it a try a week ago - Organic Cleanser, Organic Toner, Organic Moisturizer for Oily skin, Anti-Aging Serum, Skin Tone Sunscreen & Scrub - got a free fruits mask.
Organic Cleanser - Is water based. Pour a few drops on palm and lather up before wash. No stripping and can wash quite cleanly. Was told if using its' sunscreen, no need double cleanse just wash once.
Organic Toner - Also water based. Pour a few drops on palm and pat all over face and neck. Easily absorb and control skin PH.
Moisturizer - One thing I do not like purchasing online products is cannot be well consulted. Is solely recommended on what you describe to the seller. Hence, she recommended me for Oily skin which does not work on me. Too dry for me. If apply Anti-aging serum before this moisturizer, can feel not that discomfort.
Anti-Aging Serum - Cannot review much on this except it gave me bumps appearing on my forehead. I suppose too potent for my skin. Stop using after a few attempts.
Skin Tone Sunscreen - Quite a good sunblock. Prevent sunburned since my skin prone to redness. So far, using this products have not caused me redness yet.
Exfoliating Scrub - This I like the most as it is fully scrub granules. Pinch abit on palm and add water before scrubbing face. Really remove whiteheads and blackheads well. Pores stay clean. Skin smoother.
Fruit Mask - I do not see neither feel any difference using this comparatively to Skinfood masks. I still think Skinfood wash off and sheetmask the best!!
BOV products have herbal smells.
I stopped using BOV entirely after a week when I visited Jurlique for facial appointment. Was told by beautician I have some breakouts/congested. Either the anti-aging serum is too potent to me or the cleanser directed by seller to wash once not well cleansed for my skin. Usually, for my skin - people advise to double cleanse at night before bed. But BOV said its' sunscreen has no synthetic so does not require double cleanse. Also, maybe left behind by L'ocittane Products that I had used before.
