I can never totally rely on other people's reviews. For one, I am blessed with a very sensitive skin (or is it "cursed"?). I do research on some popular products for my type of skin, but I definitely have to try them out first to make sure they fit me.
I am my own guinea pig!
I've never had clear skin in a long time. Even the popular products or the mildest ones could never help me achieve a blemish-free skin. There were times when even gentle products would still inflame my skin. :(
It's either a hit or a miss when I try a new product!
But normally the latter. :(
In the recent weeks, I have been literally "back to basics". I would only use baby products to relieve the redness on my skin. I've been dealing with some tiny bumps on the forehead. (Kindly refer to the pic below.) I blame my recent beach vacation for this. I got so lazy on vacation that I felt so stressed out to even follow my usual skincare routine. Not to mention the sun! Oh how it dried my skin!

During the first week I got back home, I had to stop using the usual products I had because they seemed to not work anymore and would further induce redness. Aside from a gentle facial wash, I only applied my new favorite, SHISEIDO BABY Medicated Powder, to avoid oiliness. It's so mild that I can even sleep with it on. It was so frustrating not being able to try out my newly ordered cosmetics (I love online shopping, by the way!). I decided to deal with my skin issue first before slapping cosmetics onto my face again. Or at least find a good skincare product that would counter the bad effects of cosmetics. In addition to that, I am getting married. Yes. I AM GETTING MARRIED. SOON.
I need to have a decent skin.
Then came my first ever BDJBox! Read here.
It's named "Luscious Locks", luckily though, it contained a skincare product---
Shiseido Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate

So I said, why not? Shiseido is a well-trusted company all over the world. In addition, being a Japan-made product makes it even more reliable (I believe). I've used many Japanese products which are mostly my HGs (holy grails). I also knew I've got to start using makeup again, so I need to find a decent cream or whatsoever to put underneath.
I've been using the Ultimune sampler for about a week now. And since I wasn't part of the lucky 100 who got the Golden Ticket containing the full size product, I need to really make my sampler go a long way. Normally, after just a few days of trying a product out, I'd already know if it'd be pointless to continue. But with this one, I've actually noticed my skin being more hydrated and moisturized. Some dark spots have been reduced, I guess. I love the smell, too. I'm really a sucker for scented cosmetics though I know they may cause allergic reactions. I do need more time to use this product though to really see big results. But in the mean time, I'd say it's doing quite well. I am confident to put on makeup once again without the fear of inflaming my skin. I don't fear using makeup anymore knowing that my skin is receiving vitamins to restore itself. I hope the good effects continue! And if it really does, God help me find a way to shell out some money. It's a bit pricey!
