Hi channelv,
How's it? Do you like the sunblock texture? How bout the cleanser & scrub.
Hi, Yumiko, Sorry for the late reply and here are my reviews after using for more than 2 weeks.
I tried the Actizen Scrub for the first time last week. It has a very light refreshing scent. I started off by splashing my face (very oily face) with water then I scrubbed my face with the Scrub for 1 min without cleansing it first. Oh! The feeling was very oily and sticky and it won’t get rid of the oil on my face so I used Actizen Cleanser to cleanse my face and once again I scrubbed my face for the second time for 1 min and padded dry… Wow! To my surprise, there was no redness or irritation and it made my skin so soft and smooth just like after a facial… Until today, my face still feels soft and smooth and I like how my face feels…(just my 2 cents!)
When I first started using the Actizen Cleanser, I don’t know how clean my face is? Because it’s not drying …may be it’s moisturizing just like I’ve already toned my face that kind of feeling and in order to finish my toner, I still tone my face after Actizen cleanser and I noticed that my face is even more dewy.
As for the Sunblock, at first I found it was difficult to cover my pores that it made my pores even more obvious but now I managed to cover my pores by applying it in small circular movements but for the broken capillaries I need to apply bb cream to cover it. Until now, I still experience a little peeling around my nose and chin area.
Yumiko, I need your advice for the followings:-
1) How long do I need to scrub my face?
2) How much is this scrub?
3) Is the sunblock oily? and why is there a peeling around my nose and chin area?
When I apply it in the morning, it’s not oily at all but after 4 to 5 hours later, my face start getting a little oily at the T-zone and it’ll be very oily and it'll float on the oily area at around 6pm and towards the end of the day.
Thank you.
