Vichy’s LIFTACTIV DERMSOURCE SERUM 10

A new skin from first drop

LIFTACTIV DERMSOURCE SERUM 10

WRINKLES – LIFTING EFFECT – INSTANT RADIANCE

Skin Regeneration takes a whole new level

Vichy Laboratories takes anti-ageing skincare to newer heights with Vichy LIFTACTIV DERMSOURCE SERUM 10! A revolutionary anti-ageing serum that transforms your skin right from the first drop making it look fresh and rejuvenated like never before. The Serum is an addition to the LiftActiv Dermsource Range- the anti-aging revolution, infused with Rhamnose, a plant sugar extract known for its soothing properties to gives you results that not only erase the signs of ageing, but goes deep into the dermis to prevent it.

After screening more than 50 anti-aging molecules, Vichy laboratories identified very highly concentrated Rhamnose as the most powerful agent capable of specifically targeting the Papillary Dermis and reactivating its activity thereby rejuvenating the skin at its source. Rhamnose is also perfectly tolerated by sensitive skin, making it a unique cosmetic ingredient for reconciling anti-aging super-powers and optimal tolerability, at last. The Serum has a unique and radically different formula after 180 formulation tests to bring out an exceptional feel, entirely dedicated to the highest possible concentration of Rhamnose. Thus, bringing revolution with simplicity, reinventing anti-aging care and multiplying lesser doses of active ingredients and increasing efficacy.

As we age, our skin degenerates making it look dull. With 10 years of research, Vichy Laboratoires has specially formulated the Serum to address the root causes of skin degeneration. It has discovered the power of the Papillary Dermis: the unique and sensitive cells of this dermal layer can single-handedly control regeneration of the whole skin. Therefore The LiftActiv Dermsource Serum 10 acts as a youth catalyst for the entire skin with targeted effects to boost every aspect of skin regeneration making it look radiant and youthful.

With the new LiftActiv Serum 10 , Vichy delivers a new dimension of performance, giving you fully transformed skin; replenished, velvety smooth and luminous. So push back the limits of anti-aging care, with reinforced anti-wrinkle and firming efficacy for a long-lasting lifting effect. The LiftActiv Dermsource Serum 10 active ingredients are Rhamnose flanked by just two other equally powerful yet skin-respecting active ingredients: high-dose 0.4% hyaluronic acid and naturally regenerating, invigorating and soothing Vichy Thermal Spa Water. It is hypoallergenic, Tested under dermatological control and Paraben free.

NIJU Cucumber Essence Mask Review

NIJU Cucumber Essence Mask Review

Review by Awungshi

I am a huge fan of Asian cosmetics. I think they have the cutest packing and when i think nothing could get cuter,there they are with another kawaii innovation.

I’ve been looking around for asian face masks in India because i was running out of the ones i have. And that’s when i stumbled upon this face masks on Urbantouch.com under Konad brand.
I quickly bought one just to try it and here is what i have to say.

PACKAGE- it comes in sachets – not the usual cute package i’m used to .Inside , there is a single sheet of face mask made of thin absorbing cloth. The usual Asian masks i use has an extra plastic sheet to prevent the cloth mask from sticking to itself and for easy removal.

HOW TO USE- Remove the mask from the packet and spread it out on your face making sure every part of your face is well covered.
Put on some nice music and lie there for 15-20 minutes.
After that remove the mask and apply the excess fluid from the packet on your face and leave it to dry.
Do not wash your face after using the face mask

INGREDIENTS- Vit E, Collagen, cucumber extract,dipotassium glyrrhizate.

WHAT IT CLAIMS- Face mask to moisturize and increase skin elasticity for healthy and younger looking skin.

Details
The sheet type essence mask is easy to use and effective in skin recovery treatment. It contains cucumber extract for soothing, brightening and moisturizing the skin and Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate (Licorice root) which prevents skin trouble and makes skin healthy. Vitamin E and collagen presents in it increases the skin elasticity and brightens the skin.


HOW IT FELT- During the process of using the face mask, my face felt really cool and nice.

After the removal of the mask, my face felt soft and the pores appeared smaller.
However ,few hours after using it ,i noticed small tiny rashes on my face.(i don’t know if it was just some co-incidence or because of the mask).i have never experienced such things with any other masks, But i am, however, reluctant to try it again.

PRICE- Rs.65/-

Available HERE and HERE

I love face masks…But i’m not sure i will try these again.
