thanks Fr3b once again for giving me the opportunity to try out full size Acnes 3-step kit (just in time to combat my awful zits) !

i was given Acnes medicated creamy wash, Acnes medicated sealing jell & Acnes medicated powder lotion.

besides these 3 products, Acnes medicated skincare has others like Acnes foaming wash, Acnes clear & white wash, Acnes oil control moisturizer, Acnes UV tinted milk, Acnes point clear, Acnes oil control cleansing sheet, Acnes tea tree oil clay mask, Acnes oil control mask & Acnes nose pore strip. those underlined ones i'm interested to get 'em :D

actually, i've used Acnes medicated creamy wash before. i bought it immediately when Acnes medicated skincare was available at watsons. back then, the product variety wasn't that extensive. i remembered that i like this cleanser pretty much and i finished using it quite fast since it's a rather small tube.

i like the refreshing lime smell. it foams pretty well but i guess the foaming wash will be much much foamier (i like) :p

after cleansing, it leaves my face feeling matte and moisturized. yipee ! thumbs up definitely :D

here's a yucky close-up of the awful zits on my forehead :C

ooo this is an interesting product which contains oil-absorbing powder to keep face clean and fresh for long hours ! WOW i like ! the before and after shaking pictures hahas ! my face feels refreshed (very soothing) and i love the minty menthol smell (weirds uh xD) the smell is not over-whelming, no worries ! super like this :p

the last step will be applying this sealing jell on my blemished skin. the feeling is quite soothing, which helps to calm my skin pretty well. btw it contains Sulfur which is an effective way to treat acne and pimples. Sulfur works against acne by causing peeling or exfoliation of dead skin cells from the surface layer of skin. however, though it can clear whiteheads and blackheads, it doesn't work for the more severe cystic acne.

and so, do try before you buy (i'm so naggy hahas !)

it's been close to 2 weeks using hada labo super hyaluronic acid hydrating face wash & super hyaluronic acid hydrating lotion. so am i doing well with my lovers ?

let's start with the face wash. as mentioned earlier on, it's a very mild cleanser hence it won't cause irritation to skin. however, i find that it's too mild for my liking. or should i say it's not really suitable for my skin type (combination/oily) ? i'm a fickle-minded person. i may like something at first but that doesn't mean i'll like it later on. i like what is good for my skin, that is (: imo, it's more suitable for sensitive skin since it doesn't contain fragrance, mineral oil, alcohol & colorant.

so how about the hydrating lotion ? hmm.. i've got to say that it's really a love/hate affair. why ? i don't like the sticky feeling of the lotion. it takes a pretty long time to be absorbed into my skin and i got tired of 'pat, pat, pat'. lazy much -,- what i like about is that my skin becomes pretty moisturized after usage. i reckon it'll take me ages to finish this bottle coz one drop is what i need for the entire face. no more than that, definitely.

one point to note though. what's not suitable for me doesn't mean it's not suitable for you.

ALWAYS TRY BEFORE YOU BUY :D

yes, my love affair has just started. i hope it'll last long. i've high expectations.. they say, the higher your expectations, the more disappointment you'll get. i shall now share with you my lover(s)..

this is the 1st picture i've taken with my lover no.1, affectionately known as hada labo super hyaluronic acid hydrating face wash. opps long name i know.. umm so how's my first date ?

first, i squeeze sufficient amount onto my palm.

then, i lather with water and massage the foamy goodness onto my face using gentle circular motions. it was a good sensation on my skin definitely, i like (: my skin feel perfectly cleansed and there was so sense of tightness. overall, this is a rather mild cleanser which won't strip the skin off moisture. this is the beginning of journey to silky smooth hydrated skin !

and so, this is my lover no.2, well-known as hada labo super hyaluronic acid hydrating lotion. actually i love this one more :x shh..

hmm.. the texture is mildly thick, a bit sticky. hence, 1 big drop is sufficient for my whole face. finally, i jus need to 'pat pat pat' onto my skin until thoroughly absorbed. my skin feels instantly hydrated ! slightly sticky feeling though..

oh well, i'll continue this affair till one day they fail me (hope not). they certainly have not disappoint me so far, keep up the good work ! ps: may my love for you(and you) grow day by day (:
