A lil background:

I'm 25, combination, acne-prone, tanned skin.

I bought these 2 products last week but unfortunately they're not compatible with my skin.

I actually went to Japan and just came back a few days before CNY. The weather was dry and made my pores enlarge. Pre-Japan my skin was erm.. close to perfect.

I thought these 2 would help but I started breaking out. I have always been sensitive to AHA & BHA and collagen products but I wanted to give them a go... cos I was desperate for CNY. My skin was so bad after Japan I was more than willing to try any products.

My beautician at Murad salon recommended them to me as a last resort because she too wasn't sure what would be suitable for me. I have hyperthyroid so my hormones are ever changing and she always has to change facial treatments for me every month.

So. The products:

I am selling them; either separately or together is up to you.

AGE REFORM AHA & BHA Cleanser: I bought it for RM228 but I'm selling it for RM200.

AGE REFORM COLLAGEN Serum: It was RM488 (bloody expensive!) but I'm letting it go for RM400.

I used the cleanser 2 times. The microbeads are really small and it's a nice gentle scrub. It's not harsh like the Skin Polishing Scrub (the pomegranate one).

I used the serum one night. It left a matte finish on my face. It wasn't oily the next day when I woke up. And I don't sleep with the aircond on, so I guess the serum is room temperature-friendly.

Text me if you're interested and we'll discuss payment afterwards.

Should the need arise, I can bear the postage cost but I'd rather pass it to you in person to avoid contamination or pH level instability that may happen during transporting.

I live in Sunway, Subang Jaya. If you're nearby COD is definitely ideal.

I appreciate your reply but I'm well equipped with proper adequate knowledge as mentioned above. I know ingredients and et cetera.

I just want a new owner for these 2.

Hmm you know what cures my acne? Seawater. Idk. It's not a popular remedy but it's one hell of a healer. I know sunbathing is bad yada yada but during breakouts I lather myself in minimal sunscreen (cos I'm acne prone) and just lay there and soak up the sun for a couple of hours.

One weird thing though, when I take seawater home with me, it just doesn't work the same. It's like I HAVE to tan and soak in the water. And tanning somehow makes me feel healthier. Could be related to my hormonal imbalances. I wonder.

I don't mind going dark. I love tan lines and they heal my scars better than anything. Plus who wouldn't love walking around in tanlines like a Californian babe

And of course diet and water. Right now my breakouts are recovering from regular strenuous sweating at the gym and clean dieting. But I still need to hit the beach sometime end of this week for better recovery.

Anyway.

I do collect samples but like I said I was despo. It was cny and stores were closed and all SAs were telling me was "oh we don't have samples for this, but we have some from the other range" and even if I'd used samples over CNY, I'd break out anyway. Samples never get along with me.

You have to understand my thought process as well. I was ENTITLED to 2 vouchers if I purchased these mofos. And I LOVE VOUCHERS.

And I had no time to drive down to the beach. So. Lo and behold... the penny wise pound foolish airhead in me was willing to experiment with the skin like a lab rat. But let me back up a lil bit.. I haven't actually lost that much. I got pretty good vouchers for treatments.

I hardly use harsh chemicals on my face. Like, I use LUSH and have very basic facials. On my counter as of now I have nothing more than a cleanser, toner & moisturiser.

At the beginning of my post I did mention prior to this awful incident my face condition wasn't concerning.

I should've listened to my gut feelings. My heart was somersaulting and churning inside out when I started facials with Murad. I wanted to go back to Clarins. I'm not a fan of acids (I'm a bit of a minimalist too- hence LUSH and basic 123. I even rinse my hair in vinegar).

But I've seen great results on my friends and Murad salon customers... even those acne-prone ones. 

Whenever I get bad reactions from products I usually end up using them as a foot mask and looks like these 2 Age Reforms will share the same fate. I'm already using their Age Reform moisturiser samples on my nails and cuticles.

At this point I'm more than willing to let them go at half the stated prices. I just want them gone and who knows, they could serve their new owner well. I don't mind giving away for free either.

If they don't work, just keep passing them on. Think of them as the gifts that keep on giving.

Maybe not. Idk. They could be great foot scrub and mask.

Oh. So I've mentioned I'm an airhead, yeah? I paid RM3.6k for facials (good for one and a half years) and now feel like giving them up.
