Clarin's instant Light Complexion Perfector
Clarin’s Instant Light Complexion Perfector
Rating: * * * * *
Price: US$32
This product can serve as foundation or can be applied beneath or on top of foundation. I have been using this product as my foundation. I personally liked it very much because it gives your face a radiant look. It also gives your face a rosy color so that your face color looks very healthy. It looks very natural as well so people can’t even tell if you were wearing make up. This product is one of the best foundations I have ever used and I highly recommend it.

Rating of H2O+ Face Oasis Hydrating Treatment
H2O+ Face Oasis Hydrating Treatment
Rating: * * *
Price: 1.7oz - $34
I tried this product a few years ago when it first came out. Hydration is its main selling point. It states that it will make your skin feel like drinking 8 glasses of water everyday. I tried this product when it first came out and I did not like it as much as the Clinique’s moisture surge extended thirst relief cream. The texture of these two cream are similar. They both have a watery texture but I feel that the Clinique’s leave a smooth feeling on your face while the H2O+ cream leaves a sticky feeling on your face. I feel that the Cinique cream was easier to be absorbed than the h2o+ cream.
This face cream like the Clinique moist surge face cream can be used as a quick mask as well.

Price: 1.7 oz - $34.00
Out of all of the Clinique products, this is my personal favorite. I have been using it since I was 14. So I have been using it for almost 9 years now. The result is still amazing. This cream is very light and has very good hydrating power. It is not greasy. The texture is kind of watery. I used it as my main face cream when I was young as my skin needed only water to keep hydrated back then. This face cream can also be used as a quick 5 minutes mask when you feel your skin need a burst of water.
Beauty tips:This cream is so light that your can apply after you put on make up when you feel your skin is dried up by the make up. It doesn't ruin your make up.

Rating of Skin Food B B Sun Cream
Skin Food Aloe Sun B B cream
Rating: * * *
B B cream is a relatively new product becoming very popular in the Asian market. I learned that B B cream was invented by koreans originally for patients as a concealer to cover up their scares after plastic surgery. Since scar tissues are very sensitive and tender, appliance of general concealer or make-up base to the scar will cause irritation. This is where B B cream comes into play. The advantage of B B cream is that it has very good concealing power. It can be used as make up base or concealer. The most amazing thing is that b b cream does not hurt your skin or clog pores. Normally when we use a regular concealer or make up base, these products usually clog our pores and dry up our skin a little after applying them for the whole day. However, b b cream does not or claims that it does not. Usually b b cream also contains other nutrients for our skin such as Q10, aloe vera, Vitamin E etc. So all in all, b b cream is like a make up base that can be used in lieu of your daily face cream.
Skin Food’s Aloe Sun B B Cream contains SPF 20 PA + and aloe. It serves as a UV protector and provides moisture and nutrition to your skin at the same time.. Overall, I think that this cream works really well as a concealer and blemish corrector. I also feel quite comfortable wearing it on my skin. However, the particulars appear rather coarse. Even when you’re applying only a thin layer on your face, it looks like you are wearing a thick layer of make up. Also, your skin appears dry and fine lines become more apparent after applying it.

Rating of Clarin's Bright Plus Brightening Exfoliator
Clarin's Bright Plus Brightening Exfoliator
Rating: * * *
Price: US$34
Exfoliators should be used regularly as it helps remove dead skin cells from your face. Removing dead skin cells from your skin helps prevent clogging of pores, allowing skin to more effectively absorb skin care products and can help get rid of the dull look in your skin. I usually use exfoliator at least once or twice per week.
This Clarins exfoliator has very small beads that act as exfoliator. This product is good in a way that it does not dry up your skin after exfoliating and the beads are very gentle that it doesn't hurt your skin. However, I don't feel that this product did a good job in exfoliating. I don't see much difference on my skin before and after using the product. I think it acts more like a face wash.
Safety tip:Make sure to avoid applying this product around the eye area as the beads in the product might cause damage to your eye.
