Sorry for the delay babes! Winners who have participated in the previous giveaway should have receive an email from La Roche-Posay by now. Congratulations to all of you! Here’s my next review on the rest of the products.

ACTIVE C EYES Corrective Dermatological Care for Wrinkles

The Active C Eyes possesses anti-aging effects that is suitable for all skin types. It is specifically designed for the delicate eye area. The area around our eyes is the most sensitive and the skin under the eyes is seven times thinner than the rest of the skin on our face. After all, a woman’s age is revealed just by looking at their eyes! So be sure to take extra care of them!

To use it, squeeze out a tiny amount on your ring finger and apply around your eye area with a light tapping motion. Do not rub or pull the skin around your eye area, you wouldn’t want fine lines to appear don’t you?

I’ve tried on it and I really love the light and non-greasy texture. It gets absorbed into the skin really quickly. The main active ingredient is in fact, L-ascorbic acid which is also known as Vitamin C. It works as an antioxidant that helps to restore your skin’s structure and elasticity. Unfortunately, I have fine lines under my eyes due to my habit of rubbing my eyes whenever I am tired. Thank God there is Active C Eyes to the rescue! I can see that the fine lines gradually lessen after using it.

EAU THERMALE Thermal Spring Water

My skin feels dry all the time due to the weather and the constant exposure to air-conditioning in the office. With the Eau Thermale Thermal Spring Water, I can bring it wherever I go and use it as and when I like to give my skin a boost!

The nozzle produces a fine mist with a precisely controlled flow. With a spritz, it helps to soothe and soften my skin.

UVIDEA XL 50 SPF Fluide Extreme

Know what? You must never ever leave the house without applying sunscreen! The UV rays from the sun is extremely harmful and causes pigmentation and dullness to our skin. The Uvidea XL 50 SPF Fluide Extreme offers high UVA/UVB protection and is more suitable for people who works in air-conditioned places (like myself).

I quite like the texture of the sunscreen which is light and matte. It gets absorbed pretty quickly and doesn’t feel oily at all. Most importantly, it does not leave a white cast on my face.

These are the prices of the various products:

Active C Eyes Corrective Dermatological Care for Wrinkles (15ml) – S$59.90
Eau Thermale Thermal Spring Water (50ml) – S$9.90
Uvidea XL 50 SPF Fluide Extreme – S$49.90

They are available at all major Guardian, Watsons and Unity retail pharmacies.

I hope you have enjoyed my series of reviews for La Roche-Posay’s products.

This is a long overdue post. I found out that Kbox @ Jurong Safra has the same concept at a fraction of the price. The only difference is that they don’t provide free internet service, bedroom slippers and comforter. Also, their beverage selection is far better than K Suites.

Those who read my blog frequently should know that I hate Kbox due to the terrible service I’ve experienced before. However, K Suites is a total new concept and I was quite eager to try it out.

K Suites is tucked away in a corner at Level 3 of Illuma. The charges are at $12/hour/pax with a minimum spending of $10/pax for beverages. Not very affordable, but the service is worth commending though. Even much better than Kbox. Is that why they are charging at a higher rate?

The next step of the regime is Moisturizing. An extremely important step which you should always look out for. If any of the moisturizer is too rich for your skin, you are likely to have tiny breakouts all over your face.

I have experienced severe breakouts before. Hence, I am pretty cautious when choosing the right moisturizer for myself. In my case, I would prefer using fluid or gel based moisturizer as they are easier to be absorbed and doesn’t feel too rich or oily on my skin.

The Toleriane Fluide Soothing Protective Non-Oily Emulsion is in fluid form and comes with a pump dispenser. Very convenient indeed!

It is a lightweight moisturizer that penetrates very quickly into the skin. There’s no fragrance or preservatives added into this product. Absolutely recommended for people with sensitive skin and even eczema.

I absolutely love how this product reduces the redness on my face, especially my cheek area. It soothes the skin, hydrates and doesn’t clog up my pores.

The Toleriane Fluide Soothing Protective Non-Oily Emulsion (40ml) is retailing at S$35.90 at all major Guardian, Watsons and Unity retail pharmacies.

Now, for the giveaway! 10 Toleriane trial kits worth $15.90 are up for grabs!
