Haiz, I've been away for so long about IDI-Product Review until the contest end... Feeling so sorry for my readers and IDI-Italy for my delay as busy to attend events, post up events, working and what ever excuses... Just feeling guilty of myself, just like not getting my homework done, sigh..

"Gomennasai" is the only word that I can say...

Finally I've decide to post up all the reviews to share as I don't want to waste all my post and...
most most most importantly this is my responsibility as a candidate in the Super Fan Campaign as I've sign the agreement during the interview session, this is my commitment.

Sure I will post out all of my post in this week for sharing...^^ stay with me yep..this made me remember my uni time when rushing for thesis. Haha.

* Please note that all the rating are base on my own experience.

Summary about all the reviews:

Must have: 0.31[md] MultiAction Mask
U don't need to stock up too many different mask eg. whitening, anti-aging, oil-control, hydrating, moisturizing...etc...this one is all in one, save time and save $$ !!! it is only RM 186, you may think that quite expensive but please consider also all the functions!!
Lazy like me? opt for this girl!! ^^I just love it so much!!

For the 1.20 DermClene balancing Cream 50ml [Correct] or 1.21 DermClene Soothing Cream 50ml [Correct], you can just choose one to save cost as both has similar function.

Honestly, this brand has good products for oily and acne prone skin type, I can't comment for the other range as I just try for the oily/acne range. I notice my breakout become lesser and well control, no redness if I manage to apply the DermClene Soothing Cream or DermClene Balancing Cream before the breakout become serious. However, my face still produce oil as due to hormonal changes, so can't blame the product but it has done well on slowing the process of the oil production as my face is hydrate when using the DermClene Hydrating cream.

Last but not least:

My final picture. Honestly, sure I must choose the best picture la..^^(click the pic to enlarge)

IDI-Italy 1858 Skin Care 8th Product Review: 0.30[md] UtlrAction Protection Cream [Treat]

This is the final product review as I request from IDI during February. Why I request for it, as I stay in Terengganu, there are near to beach and I always getting dark when back from Terengganu to KL. So I decide to have a better coverage eg. SPF 50 sub block to protect me from all the harmful UV rays.

The final product to review: 0.30[md] UtlrAction Protection Cream [Treat]

I think no need to talk more about sun block again, everybody should know it clearly already.

Ultra Protection Cream SPF 50

Ultra Protection Cream SPF 50, the texture

Just bear in mind do not apply too thick, the result of thick layer on my hand

Just to compare the two, my conclusion are:

0.20[Pro] TriAction Face Defender Cream[Treat]	0.30[md]UtlrAction Protection Cream [Treat]
Packaging in jar	Packaging in pump-tube
Lighter creamy texture	More Creamy, a bit greasy compare to 0.20
SPF 15, less coverage, suitable indoor	SPF 50, more coverage, suitable outdoor
Tinted, natural color	Colorless
can apply a thin layer around eyes area	Not advisable to apply around eyes area
PA level unknown, just mention SPF15	PA level unknown, just mention SPF50+

Overall, I'm quite satisfy with the both sunblock as one ideal for indoor with light texture and another one suitable for my outdoor activities.

IDI-Italy 1858 Skin Care 7th Product Review: 0.20[Pro] TriAction Face Defender Cream [Treat]

When we talk about sun block...what is in our mind??? the common questions about it is we will ask:

1. Is the texture oily?
2. Will it clog pores?
3. Is it provide good coverage?
4. Does it able to filter out both UVA and UVB rays???
5. Tinted or colorless?

So when I was given this 0.20[Pro] TriAction Face Defender Cream 50ml [Treat], I found out the answer for the above questions.
0.20[Pro] TriAction Face Defender Cream 50ml [Treat]
Color: It is tinted, very light color, will not see different if apply thin layer, so quite natural tone.

Texture:Fortunately, not greasy
See the colour

Apply on hands, the texture is just nice
Functions(s): SPF 15 as stated in the booklet. It contain anti aging property, Titanium Tioxide to reduce fine line, even out skin tone, whitening, prevent forming of pigmentation and reducing spot.

So my answers are:

1. Is the texture oily?
--No

2. Will it clog pores?
--No, I can still apply a thin layer on my eye area as it is just gentle and won't clog my pores and won't cause oil seeds around my eyes.

3. Is it provide good coverage?
--So far so good, but one thing I notice the SPF 15 just stated in the booklet not the packaging, it's also not stated the PA level.

4. Does it able to filter out both UVA and UVB rays???
--see Q3, and it is just SPF 15, ideal for indoor only

5. Tinted or colorless?
--Yes it is tinted but the color is natural

IDI-Italy 1858 Skin Care 6th Product Review: 0.31[md] MultiAction Mask [Treat]

Extra care 1: 0.31[md] MultiAction Mask 50ml [Treat]

I've never believe that IDI-Italy is so kind tolet me try their star product: The MultiAction Mask. This creamy type mask look just simple but it has multi function for our daily skin care. It just suitable for those lazy people like me!! ^^

0.31[md] MultiAction Mask 50ml [Treat]

I have cutting out a new paper script from Sin Chew daily dated 31 Jan 2010 and kept it until now. I think that the explanation is quite good and easy to understand so I want to share with you all. It's a chinese explanation, so I think better I translate to English.
Click here to enlarge
I try my best to translate:

Mask, is like a supplement among all skin care products because it can provide us the nutrients that we need in our daily life. The IDI-Italy 1858 MultiAction Mask which launched last year is able to provide multi action to take care our skin concern.

Normally most of the mask in the skin care market will only emphasis on specific care, eg. whitening, hydrating, oil-control, moisturizing, enhance cell regeneration(for anti-aging)and etc. However, this Multi action mask already consist all of the functions mention above. So we don't need to headache when come to decide for what mask to choose. It is also contain Glycolic Acid that helps to improve absorption of nutrients and has exfoliation effect. It also contains vitamin C and shea butter that suitable for all skin types. ~RM 186~

MultiAction mask: Mask texture
Texture: cream and wash off type

Feature(s): Fragrance free, it help to even out skin tone, whitening, reduce spot, oil-control, anti aging, all in one!!!

How long should I wait?? 10-20 minutes

How frequent?? Once or twice per week..depends on your needs.

The feeling upon applying?? A nice cool sensation feel upon applying and I feel my skin more softer and moisturized after rinse off, then following with my 1.30 DermClene Hydrating Cream as the last step.

My feeling after using??......
For 3 months of using, I notice my skin is getting more hydrate. Undeniably I can't stop all the sebum production as this is due to hormonal effect too..but I felt that using the mask and the hydrating cream make the oil production become slower.
Surprisingly my blackheads problem being reduce a bit as well.

P/s: I'm not going to show my face on mask...just terrible, I don't want you all get night mare after seeing it..haha (^.~)

IDI-Italy 1858 Skin Care 5th Product Review: 1.30 DermClene Hydrating Cream [Care]

The final steps for the 1.0 Oily/ acne prone treatment is 1.30 DermClene Hydrating Cream [Care] (Day and Night)
The Dermclene Hydrating Cream
The packaging is aluminum, just like toothpaste package
All four steps for the 1.0 oily/acne prone (Click picture to enlarged view)
Yes this is cream again, but I feel that it has more lotion like texture. I believe we all know that oily skin need more hydration as if our skin dry, our face tends to produce more oil.

Therefore, this is the lotion to apply on the whole face after all the steps to leave a layer of moisture on our face. Don’t worry because won’t feel greasy as I mentioned it is lotion based to hydrate our skin.

Color: Sure it’s white again.

Texture: Lotion base although it stated “cream”.

How to use: Apply over skin like normal and massage gently.

Function(s): hydrate and calm acne prone skin, speed up cell regeneration, and prevent skin imperfection.

Special about it?? It claim to speed up cell regeneration, cool!!!

Conclusion after use: I feel my skin more hydrated and the production of oil become more slower. It is nice to apply before sunblock and foundation every morning because it makes more natural look as skin won't look flaky.

I like it? Yes for sure!!

IDI-Italy 1858 Skin Care 4th Product Review: 1.21 DermClene Soothing Cream [Correct]

My 4th Product: 1.21 DermClene Soothing Cream [Correct]

1.21 DermClene Smoothing Cream [Correct]

When I've been given this product, the first thing in my mind was why is CREAM? My face already quite oily and why given cream to me? But I only know the answer after I use it.

Color: White (all the products of my range are white)
Texture: Creamy

Function(s):Clear inflammation and smoothens oily skin, replenish skin with essential moisture and prevent acne production.

How to use: Day and Night. Apply only at affected/acne and massage gently for optimal result, it's ok to apply on whole face

Conclusion after use: Yes it is cream just like 1.20 DermClene Balancing Cream, apply on the affected area,
I think this got the more creamy texture than 1.20, but the effect is better than 1.20 because it is not only to sooth the acne but also prevent future acne production.

You know, I was given two types of [Correct] products for my face, meaning I need more treatment on my acne.
The two [Treat] products are:
1.20 DermClene Balancing Cream &
1.21 DermClene Soothing Cream
1.20 DermClene Balancing Cream (left); DermClene Smoothing cream (right)
You might ask what is the different between this two products?? Sure, I've the same questions and I've found out after using both of the products at the same time

Here are my comparison after use:

1.20 DermClene Balancing Cream	1.21 DermClene Soothing Cream
Packaging in pump-tube	Packaging in jar
Creamy	More Creamy
A bit of mild tingling sensation upon application	Just confortable without any feeling
Creamy	More Creamy, but the effect better as to prevent future breakouts
Contain non-photosensitising substances	Ultra Light fast absorbing formula

Finally, which one I like the most?? Yes, it is you : 1.21 DermClene Soothing Cream.

IDI-Italy 1858 Skin Care 2nd Product Review

Last week I had talk about the step to use the products in hand and the 1.10 DermClene Facial Cleaser [Cleanse] (for oily/acne).

As promise, this round I will share about the 3.11 DermReviv Conditioning Lotion [Cleanse] (dry skin).U might wonder why Juliana arrange this for me although I have oily skin, at first I also don’t understand why and she said it’s to clean off my make up traces. So I thought it’s a make-up remover, then I used it before the cleanser, but I found that I was wrong, I am silly right? It’s call “Conditioning Lotion”, meaning it’s kind of a toner right? It’s unable to thoroughly remove my make up after I done a few testing on my skin.

However, I found it work well after the cleanser because it can remove my excess traces of cleanser. And one important and good thing it is alcohol free, so it won’t make my skin dry but improves skin hydration!! My skin is sensitive to alcohol, if I apply strong alcohol based toner, skin will develop more acne, terrible!!

Notice that the series 1 (oily/acne) doesn’t have toner, so it’s good to have this as my toner looo!!!

Below are the details:

From Serie: 3 (Dry skin)

Ingredients: Aqua, Pentylene Glycol, Glycerin, Aluminum Chlorohydrate, Hamamelis Virginiana Extract, Urea, Sodium PCA, Diglycerin, Chamomilla Recutita Extract, Rosa Gallica Extract, Lactic Acid, Sodium Benzoate, Sorbitol, PCA, L-Lysine, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Allantoin, Portasium Sorbate, Phenoxyethanol, Caramel.

Functions: Removes excess traces of make-up & cleanser, soften skin & improves hydration, revitalizes skin, leading to supple complexion.
How to use: Apply over face with cotton pad after cleanser

Texture: Toner like

Color: Colorless in cotton pad but a bit clear yellowish when see inside the bottle.

Smell: Nice Flora scene, I like it, may be due to flora extract ingredients, don’t know how to describe, but for sure you would like it if u try.

Special Feature(s) + Conclusion after used: Non-drying, alcohol free. In fact there are some others brand alcohol free conditioning lotion in the market, but I like the scene of this lotion, really nice, and relaxing, I’ve tried put it in office(air-con) then apply with cotton pad, I feel a cooling sensation and nice aroma, totally relaxing, I can say that it’s my “peace of mind”!!! U guys should try it out!! (p.s. Don’t know whether can put in fridge or not…:P )

I love it!!!

IDI-Italy 1858 Skin Care 1st Product Review

Last week I had share the IDI-Italy 1858 Super Fan Campaign interview session and the products that were given to me to rescue my super Oily/ Acne skin. Now is alerady 1 week of using, just to share my review with you all.

Again, just to give a clearer picture on the products I’m currently using, refer to below:
And here is my skin condition, just too bad!!! I can feel my skin a bit rough, larger pore, redness and inflamation, whiteheads & blackhead due to excessive sebum production.
Step by Step….do not miss 1 Step!!

Step 1: 1.10 DermClean Facial Cleanser [Clean] From Serie:1.0 (oily/ acne skin)

Ingredients: Aqua, Simmondsia Chinensis Oil, Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate, Sodium Cocoamphoacetate, Polysorbate 20, Dodecanedioic Acid, Sebacic Acid, Chamomilla recutita Extract, Allantoin and lot a lot ar....

Function: Remove impuries & excess sebum gently, Rebalance natural moisture and calms inflammation & soothes skin.

How to use: Apply over skin, add some water and massage gently all over the face, rinse well with water.

Texture: It seems like milk based cleanser, quite soft and gentle.

Color: White

Smell: Light flower scene, I like it, very natural scene.

Special Feature(s):

1. This is a SLS-(Sodium Laureth Sulfat)-free, low foam formula, so no matter how I rub it, still no bubbles or foam. Note that foaming cleanser for oily skin will cause skin to dry out after cleansing and encourage sebum production.(because it sent message to tell the brain that skin surface is dry, so need to produce more oil to skin).

2. It contain vitamin B5 which is good in wound healing and acne. I believe this is why IDI claim thier products are nutrition to skin.

Review Conclusion: I have never use this kind of cleanser before, whithout SLS (Sodium Laureth Sulfat) so no bubbles form, quite gentle and nice. After cleaning my face, I can feel a layer of moist still on my face, no drying and tight feeling. Not like my previous foaming cleanser make my skin become dry and tight after use.

The 2nd step of product to share will be the Conditioning Lotion (Dry Skin), you may wonder why Juliana (IDI nutritionist) arrange this for me? Check out my Part 3 Review
Hey visit me often to find out then!!

IDI-Italy 1858 Skin Care Facebook Super Fan Campaign

Last week I went to the Interview for IDI-1858 Super Fan Campaign. Ya, finally I decided to join it after thinking for few weeks. It is because my oily/acne skin had been disturbing me for a decade, so I need to try something new to combat this problem.

Juliana, IDI nutritionist did an analysis on my skin by asking me some questions and looking at my skin, and as expected, I was categorized in Oily/ Acne prone skin group.

After that, she gave me some of the products and asked me to try on-the-spot. Then, Cheng (IDI-staff) took a photo for me before using the product. Prior to that I'm required to sign a agreement to allow IDI to post my photo and video through face book and youtube.

After trying the product, another photo was taken and a short video being recorded. Majorly just mention what is my skin concern and what I hope to achieve. Because of quite nervous, I have been recorded twice for the video.

A whole interview just take about 1 hr, never expect a very fast and simple interview!!! :)

Last but not least, Juliana remind me that I need to stop using my current skin care for 3 mths and switch to IDI products to see the true result. I think this is the most important commitment for every participants to join this contest.
