** FAQ ( Frequently Asked Question ) **

What makes Skin Aqua different from other brand?

• As UV Protection and skincare in one ( moisturize, soften and keep skin's elasticity )
• Water based, feels lightweight on the skin
• Non greasy and absorbed quickly
• Can be used as daily moisturizer and makeup base

What's the difference between sunblock and sunscreen?

Well, sunblock has a thicker consistency and a waterproof formula. It tend to be greasy and heavy on the skin. Most of the time, it is used on special activities like going to the beach and swimming. While sunscreen was made for daily use and feels lightweight on the skin.

What's the difference between UVA and UVB light?

UVA >> long wavelength range

UVB >> short wavelength range 

 picture & info taken from -> here!

  

UVA, which penetrates the skin more deeply than UVB, has long been known to play a major part in skin aging and wrinkling (photoaging). UVA also can breakthrough a glass, our skin tissues and blood vessels!

UVB, the chief cause of skin reddening and sunburn, tends to damage the skin's more superficial epidermal layers. It plays a key role in the development of skin cancer and a contributory role in tanning and photoaging.

Protect yourself from UV radiation, both indoors and out. Always seek the shade outdoors, especially between 10 AM and 4 PM. And since UVA penetrates glass, consider adding flat, tinted UV-protective film to your car's side and rear windows as well as to house and business windows. This film blocks up to 99.9 percent of UV radiation and lets in up to 80 percent of visible light.

  And for maximum protection from sun damage that Skin Aqua recommend is to re-apply in every 3-4 hours of usage.




☆Skin Check☆ And then.. I got a  chance to do a Skin Check in that event.  They provide us a technology to see through the layer of our skin - aka. ZOOMING IN straight to our disgrace >,<" - and point out the skin problems that we have. I was sooo hesitant to doing this at first, *beuh. better I won't find out than being stressed out for the rest of my life, right? and they will also find out this is only the magic of concealer?! oh nooo! lol. ,  but I'm glad I finally did it because.. yeah -_-"  SO.. here you go.. *pasrah* lol.  

all the freckles look alike are apparently my sun spots. I think I always protect my skin, but I guess this is also a warning for me to be more self conscious to the UV damage to my skin.    

 this is when they zoom in my pores.

the green circle is an enlarge pores that I have ( still in a "warn" sign ), but the red circle means my pores is too wide open >,<"

this is the active blemishes on my right cheek. *yeah. It's called PMS, guys -_-"   

. . .

So, what are you waiting for?  Don't forget to put on sunscreen and stay beautiful when you're old! :D

  TO ADD : Through that event, PT. Rohto Laboratories Indonesia also introduce us their new products, called Lip on Lip. In this line they have 2 types of lipcare which is : Nourishing Lipstick and Nourishing Lipbalm.

( I'll just swatch and review them in different post ya! :D )

And here are the goodie bags that I received that day! :D

 

This is the second bag that I received ( as a gift ) because I answer one of their question on a trivia games ^^

Oh I'm so happy because they throw in some Face on Face products that I'm dieing to try! :D

Battle of the Cheap Moisturizer for Oily Skin : Clean & Clear Clear Fairness VS Sariayu Relaxing Aromatic

Hi girls!

How's your day?

Hope it's magical! :D

From my previous post that I've done, I kinda addicted in making comparison brand that has the same function and on the same range of price. In case you're missing out my previous post that I'm talking about, feel free to click --> Battle of Pore Minimizing Scrub

And now I'm eager to make comparison about Cheap Moisturizer for Oily Skin that can be easily grab in minimarket or supermarket in my country ( Indonesia ), for a very inexpensive price, off course :D

Excited? 

Yes, me too! \(^ (oo) ^)/ *ngook*

Clean & Clear Clear Fairness Moisturizer SPF 15 

vs 

Sariayu Relaxing Aromatic Moisturizer in Jeruk (Orange) Normal Berminyak

Oya, I need to remind a thing. I'm comparing this two brands not because I want to "disgrace" either one of them. It's simply because I purchased these almost at the same time and I just test what works for me the best. It could be different result for you. 

It took me about two months just to make sure I get the best result for each of the product. First month just trying the Sariayu, and another month switch to Clean & Clear.

All is simply my honest opinion through my experience :)

Self claim

Actually, in my skincare experience.. I never tried moisturizer ( horrible, I know! >,<" ) Since I have super oily skin, I always thought what's the point in adding extra moisture to my super naturally oil based skin? Yep. WRONG, LADIES! Moisturizer is my new friend lately. Because moisturizing for oily skin and taking care of it, in fact.. it will reduce less oil! All you have to do is looking for a moisturizer that specifically made for oily skin, or simply an oil free moisturizer. And for a simply start, I always "adventure" for an inexpensive product at a reachable place.

Note : For both of these products, unfortunately I can't remember each of the prices. But I paid not more than IDR. 7000rupiahs for each of the items. Price range maybe IDR 5000-7000rupiahs. ( around US 0.50-0.70 US Dollar ) Pretty fantastic for the price, huh? :D

Sariayu Relaxing Aromatic Moisturizer in Jeruk (Orange) Normal Berminyak (35ml)

What it claim : Moisturizer with neroli essential oil as aromatherapy for relaxing effect / Enriched with lime extract to reduce excess oil. (with sunscreen)

For the packaging, it's just a squeezy cute little bottle that has a dispense like so :

For the texture, it's pretty liquidy and glossy like serum that turn into almost-translucent when you put on your skin.

For the smell, sorry I have to say.. it's sooo unpleasant and I almost can't stand of the cheap perfumery fragrance in it. *err -,-"

Clean & Clear Clear Fairness Moisturizer SPF 15 (25ml)

 

What it claim : Clear Fairness moisturizer with innovative formulation, makes your skin bright, with oil free water based lotion keeps your pores clean. Enriched formula and cherry extract helps brighten your skin. Oil control system with a unique rice protein make your bright skin look clean from oil for a longer time, while SPF 15 effective protecting your skin from sunlight. Makes your skin bright and looks clean from oil for a longer time. (Oil free. Won't clog pores)

For the packaging, it's just a squeezy cute little bottle that has a dispense like so :

For the texture, it's pretty foamy and thicker texture than Sariayu. But, kinda leaves you a white effect on your skin. And make it almost like a white cast on your face. :/

For the smell, ahhh I prefer this more than Sariayu! It has a fresh scents and sweet cherry extract in it. *love it*

Side by Side Comparison

Finishes & Texture wise

  

  

     Like what I describe for each of the consistency or texture, Sariayu is a glossy liquid like serum, while Clean & Clear is more like a foam/mousse. Sariayu is more liquidy and runny than Clean & Clear.

     

Honestly.. for moisturizing effect on my skin, I don't feel like both of them make any dramatic result on my face. But putting on moisturizer felt like taking care skin with good ingredients, right moisture more than just natural oil on your skin. My skin feel more supple and dewy in about 3-4 weeks. Moreover, they do include sunscreen to protect your skin as a bonus! :D

But.. I guess, this Final Test that really makes one of them stands out! And become the winner of this battle!

After each one of them set on the skin, it gives different finishes.

 Sariayu still looking glossy, imagine it on the face. It just enhance any greasy looking, which is a big NO NO on oily face.

While Clean & Clear gives an almost matte texture! Yea. the downside probably the white cast ( or whitening effect ) on my face -.-" 

My thoughts

If I have to choose from these two, hands down I would go for Clean & Clear. Yes, the one I purchased is so cheap because it's like a mini sample size. But it last me quite good. For a month of use, once a day, a pea size for the entire face, I feel like it still left me so much product. *thumbs up* And I believe there are more bigger size of product if you want to save a little money for a longer use.
