Bio-essence Tanaka White Renewal Night Cream review






I bought Bio-essence Tanaka White Renewal Night Cream quite a long time ago...can't remember when exactly actually haha so I don't remember the price as well my bad.

Well, I think its ok...noy particularly spectacular or anything. It hydrates my skin a tad too well. My face is often oily when I wake up after a night's rest, which I really hate so I use this only on days when I feel that my skin in especially dry. I think it would be more suitable for those with dry skin (I have combination skin).

As for its whitening properties...I actually felt that the difference in my skin colour should be more attributed to the fact that I stayed indoors more rather than the cream cos I only applied it like once every 3 days cos it was too oily for me and I couldn't stand feeling like my face was covered in oil.

Sadly, I don't particularly like this cream and I think it would be more suitable for more mature ladies with drier skin. Nuff said.

Bio-essence Bio-Hydra Water Soluble Olive Cleansing Oil review


2ml, produced in China

What it says on the sachet:
Fine molecules disintegrate makeup for easy and thorough makeup removal.
Nourishes skin while removing makeup.

A unique, non-greasy formula using breakthrough Bio-technology, blended with water soluble olive oil essence, cranberry seed and mineral oil for easy and thorough makeup removal.

Directions:
-pump onto dry palm and massage onto your face
-Using your fingertips, spread the cleansing oil evenly on your whole face to allow the fine molecules to disintegrate makeup
- Next, wet both palms and massage your face until the content turns milky
-simply rinse thoroughly with water after that

Ingredients:
Mineral oil, polyethylene glyceryl oleate,Olive (olea europea)oil, propylene glycol, olive oil PEG -7 esters, vaccinium macrocarpon (cranberry) seed oil, 5-bromo-5-nitro-1,3 dioxane fragrance Cl 19140 Cl 15985

Here's what it says on the website:


I felt that it was very light oil cleanser, and like it said, it did not feel very oily at all, which was a great plus for me :D cos my biore oil leaves my whole face oily and I can't wash it off at all cos it doesn't emulsify. hah.

However, do note that it doesn't remove makeup that well maybe due to its lighter consistency. It took many more swipes of it to remove my mascara than my biore cleansing oil. But for face makeup it was still fine. So if you want to use it, you might want to buy a separate eye makeup remover for your mascara (why are they so hard to remove anw? That's why I don't dare to buy anything that says waterproof. Especially if its gonna be used on my eyes.)

Overall its ok I guess. Not really very good or anything.
