WICKERMOSS: REVIEW: Look Younger (and Slimmer?) with Bio-essence Royal Jelly!

Women with round faces who aims for that V shaped face, Bio-Essence has got something for all of you. Bio-Essence is one of the most established skincare brand in Singapore and has launched its latest skincare range:

Bio-essence Royal Jelly + ATP Shape V Face Treasures

This range comprise of:

1. Deep Exfoliating Gel with Royal Jelly + ATP

2. Radiant Youth Essence with Royal Jelly + ATP

3. Face Lifting Cream with Royal Jelly + ATP

The Shape V Face Series provide minerals, trace minerals and herbal nutrients to lift and firm sagging skin to restore a V-shaped facial contour.

Royal Jelly is naturally-derived; one of the most commonly used ingredient in beauty products that helps with nourishing skin, anti-aging, improving skin's condition and it is also found in health products as this is known to be beneficial to woman's health. ATP stands for Adenosine Triphosphate, the main energy source for the majority of cellular functions that helps to supply/communicate energy to skin cells, resulting in skin renewal.

1. Bio-Essence Deep Exfoliating Gel with Royal Jelly + ATP

Bio-Essence Deep Exfoliating Gel with Royal Jelly + ATP aims to provide you with zero dead skin in just a single step. Unlike most exfoliating products, this doesn't contain micro-beads so it's much gentler and suitable for daily use

Benefits

Gently & painlessly exfoliates out blackheads and white heads
Exfoliates away deep layer of dead skin for better absorption of subsequent skincare products
Brightens dull skin, makes dry and rough skin softer and smoother
Regulates and balances oil secretion
Helps prevent pimples
Helps lighten scars and pimple marks
Improves skin texture for a refine and fair complexion
Makeup glides on easily, lasts longer and looks more natural

What's my take:

Mild exfoliation; a plus point for the no need for water prior to exfoliation factor...reminds me of Curel.

Leaves a slight fragrance which am guessing originates from the royal jelly.

Though this one has no abrasive beads/exfoliator, I still prefer something that really makes me feel that I am exfoliating...those beads are therapeutic for me; so they need to be present (granules, beads...anything as long it has this so-called visible exfoliant).

What's my take:

Laziness not welcome here. So to achieve a firm V shaped face for a youthful and look, it is recommended to use together the 3 Treasures of the V Face Series (Deep Exfoliating Gel, Radiant Youth Essence & Face Lifting Cream).

This cream is thiiiickkk; moisturizing yes but not long-lasting

Others might love that tingling effect after application

So far I have only applied this once a week; for times I need an instant boost of the V-shape effect..truth is, it's more of psychological actually. I need a more religious application if I really wanted that V-shaped face. Well, not so soon. I have just recovered from a horrible skincare cheat and I need to gather all up my senses again before I jump into another skincare regime overhaul. Sorry but I won't fool you and say, "Hey this makes my face shape really like a V". I have heard great reviews from a very few people but as they say, they have used this religiously so they can attest to it. Your call =)
