Review: Skinfood Tomato Whitening Spot Serum

Mood: 

Skinfood Tomato Whitening Spot Serum 30g 

Description: This spot serum is packed with fresh tomato extracts which contains a variety of natural organic acids, vitamins and minerals to clear and clarify dark skins.
Direction for use: Gently apply to dark spots and skin discolorations after using toner.


Since the direction printed at the back of the tube says apply this 'after using toner', I assume it's only for facial use...(?) But who cares, I used it on my arm too. Lol. Actually, I bought this for my post acne hyperpigmentation...but after I bought the AC Clinic Red Spot Balm, I stopped applying this on my face. FYI, this does not cause any breakout on me. I replaced it with Red Spot Balm because I am using other AC Clinic products and I want to stick to the same skincare line.

If you read my blog consistently(and I thank you for being interested in my 'craps'), you probably know that I had a gross infection[link] on my left arm in last November which leaves patches of f.ugly pigmentation scars on my arm after healing. :(

(Before) Taken back in 3rd week of December 2011.

So after my infection was completely healed, I apply the Skinfood Tomato Serum to the scars. Hoping that it would helps speed up the lightening process... Having marks on arm aren't cool okay especially when I'm wearing sleeveless or short sleeve outfit! :(

I have been applying this every single night before bed. I don't apply this in the morning due to laziness. In addition, I believe our skin heals better at night while our body is at rest. Do take note that this serum takes months to notice a major improvement. You can actually see a little improvement after about 2 weeks to a month of application.

So, it has been about 3½ months I applied this serum and currently, I am still using this serum every night without fail. And yes!, my effort on applying this every night and waiting for miracle(to see result) has paid off.

The same scars that were left from previous infection have lightened a lot!

(AFTER)

(FYI, I only used Photoshop to resize the photo and create that "watermark"(laughs). No further editing of picture. The only difference is the time taken which affects the lighting. Previous picture taken in the day without flash while this was taken last night without flash too. Both pictures were taken with Iphone's camera.) In real life, the scars actually looks slightly lighter than what's shown in the picture... :/

Okay so, I believe you can spot the difference in the color of my pigmentation scars. The color of scars were dramatically reduced. As you can see, it's not completely gone though...but I believe with continue application, the scars will soon be gone forever. :)

By the way, this serum has a mild and nice fragrance(smells like a cream~) which I really like it. After applying it on the skin, it will get absorbed and leaves a really light-tacky feeling to the touch. The serum itself is in white liquid(?) form but after massaging it into the skin, it will become colorless. Apply a little works wonder~ I always apply a lot and it does not cause any side effect. Overall, yes I like it and I already got a second tube the other day. :D

The only downside is the duration it takes to see improvement but well...whatever scars, no matter whether it is exterior or interior, take time to heal.

Are you having pigmentation scars/marks on your skin? Probably you might want to try this and see if it works for you. :)

2012 January-March Favorites

Mood: 

Finally...I got back my Macbook Pro from the service center. So here I am updating my blog. :)

I have quite a number of stuff I want to update about... I will post it one by one. As for today, I will continue my "monthly favorites" write-up. It's been awhile since I last do a "favorites" post. The last one I wrote was on November 2011..... Taking a shortcut~, I will skipped December favorites since I don't really have any favorites on that month. Moreover, I don't want to cling on to anything related to Year 2011. It's a past. That being said, I will just start from the new year 2012 "January - March favorites". Yeah, I will just compile 3-months favorites together in 1 post. (･ω･) 

♥------- January - March Favorites -------♥

Etude House AC Clinic Line

- AC Clinic Foam Cleanser: cleanse well without aggravating acne
- AC Clinic Toner  (strike-out): somehow it's too drying for me :/
- AC Clinic Gel Lotion: lightweight moisturizer
- AC Clinic Red Spot Balm: lighten post acne hyperpigmentation!
- AC Clinic Pink Powder Spot: kills pimple effectively!

I remember I did a review[link] on the Cleanser and Pink Powder Spot. FYI, I am currently still using both the cleanser and Pink Powder Spot. In fact, I added in other products from the AC Clinic line. They are my HOLY GRAIL items! :D Will do a proper review on this line in the future.

Etude House Wonder Pore Freshner (Toner)
Description on the box: This product is a total solution for pore care, preventing enlarged pores, less firmer skin and skin troubles by eliminating what hurts skin health from within.

I mentioned about this in my "2012 February Haul" [link]~ I replaced the AC Clinic toner with this because this is less drying as compared to the AC Clinic toner. It's more moisturizing than drying~ Loving the pump dispenser!♥

The Face Shop Blackhead EX Charcoal Pore Strip

Another HOLY GRAIL product~ Best & effective Pore Strip I ever used in my entire life. Check out my review here - [link]

Skinfood Tomato Whitening Spot Serum

I used this serum to lighten the pigmentation scars on my left arm which I got it from previous gross infection[link]. It does helps to lighten pigmentation scars however it takes time to notice the improvement. Read my review here - [link]

Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Pore Clay Mask

I used this once a week to deep cleanse my pores. Love this mask~ Review here - [link]

That's all my favorites for the past 2 months and ½ of this month(?). \m/

2012 January Haul~

Mood: 

*Post Title says it all~*
HAH YES, it's HAUL againnn~! This is my first haul for 2012 .aka. January Haul~ wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee~
It's a little early to write the "JANUARY HAUL" post...but I believe I won't be making a purchase until next month because I'm seriously broke...(ㅠ_ㅠ) LOL.

....moving on~.... [...]
so, these are what I've bought.........:

Etude House AC Clinic Acne Foam Cleanser

Etude House AC Clinic Pink Powder Spot + extreme

I didn't know that the Pink Powder Spot comes in a 'kit' with a small jar of AC Clinic Red Spot Balm + Whitening and a packet of cotton buds. Was extremely happy when I saw that the Red Spot Balm was included in the kit. I intend to buy the balm during my next purchase if the Pink Powder Spot and Cleanser work great. But since I have it now, I should try it out first to see if it works... Anyways, I will definitely repurchase if it works. :)

Repurchased these items again~ same products as listed in my previous entry:

Skinfood Tomato Whitening Spot Serum 

Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Pore Cleansing Foam 

Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Pore Clay Mask 

These are really GREAT stuff! Will do a review on these stuff soon. By the way, the cleansing foam belongs to my brother. He tried mine and he likes it a lot so I helped him to get one~

Tony Moly Shiny Peeling Liquid

Tony Moly Maxi Power Peeling Liquid

Dad absolutely loves these! He used the Shiny Peeling Liquid once and he fell in love with it! According to what he said, this works pretty well to get rid of the dead skin cells on his foot so he repurchased it. This time round, he wants to try the Maxi version, which I believe it's more powerful than the Shiny Foot, so he grabbed one of each type~

By the way, I got this mini kit for free~(^^)v:

Etude House
Precious Mineral All Day Strong BB Cream

Nymph Aura Volumer

Nymph Aura Dear Darling Roll Roll Gloss

Nymph Aura Jelly Tint Blusher

I love the color of the gloss~(♥_♥)

Alright, that's all for my mini Jan haul. :)
