Divinia HA Triple Action Series

Divinia 
HA Triple Action series

I came across this new brand at Watsons @ Bedok Mall. I got attracted to it by 3 words on its poster (made in Taiwan). As we all know, Taiwan is quite well known for their skincare products. Another advantage that attracted me was that it claims 3 tiers of hydration.

Indicated on its packaging:
Tier 1: Double hyaluronic acids replenish moisture from the outside to deep within.
Tier 2:Repair and Retain: Moisturising Ceramide repairs skin texture, enhances skin protective barrier and increases skin's moisture level.
Tier 3: Penetrate and Lock-in
Skin friendly olive oil and nourishing botanical extracts help hydrate the skin by enhancing moisture penetration deep into skin and locking it in to keep your skin moisturised all day long.


The packaging is quite similar to Hada Labo.. packed in plastic containers, without any fancy design. It is hence convenient to bring around.. no addition weight and price due to the design. I love the simplicity.

I would like to review on
1. My current night regime, which consists of Aqua Deep Toner, Aqua Deep Essence and Aqua Deep Creamy Gel.
2. My current morning regime, which consists of Multifunctional Repairing Cream

My Night Regime
Aqua Deep Toner (200ml)
Price: S$16.10
The texture is somewhat similar to Hada Labo Hydrating Lotion (rich), except that it is slightly thicker.





Aqua Deep Essence (30g)
Price: S$16.10
This essence is absorbed into the skin very quickly.




Aqua Deep Creamy Gel (50g)
Price: S$17.90
This moisturizer is really light. It has similar texture as Neutrogena Hydra Boost Gel.


























My Morning Regime
Multifunctional Repairing Cream (80g)
Price: S$19.70
Its packaging indicates that it "offers the ultimate hydration and nourishment to your skin by providing the benefits of toner, essence, lotion, cream and mask all at once. With antioxidising Vitamin E and moisturising Soluble Collagen, this multifunctional cream offers round-the-clock protection and hydration to your delicate skin."

As it claims to provide an all in one benefit, I decided to use it as my morning regime, due to the rush for time.

However, I am a little disappointed with this product as it doesn't seem to deliver as well as claimed. It doesn't hydrate as well compared to the regime mentioned above. Skin still feels slight tightness.  after using it. At time, I will need to apply some creamy gel at the drier areas to stop the tightness.




























Overall
I might repurchase the products mentioned in my night regime as they are very reasonable and affordable for the benefits that it claimed and delivers. Skin feels well hydrated, without any tightness.

However, for Multifunctional Repairing Cream, I will most likely not repurchase again as I feel that it is not hydrating enough, for my skin. =)

Clariancy Me Touch (IPL) - Updated

Pro(s): Convenient
Cons: So far no cons yet:
Offer Price: S$888 (UP S$1288) - 1 cartridge included























I have been using Veet Waxing Strips for removal of lower leg hair. However, it doesn't work for me everytime. On some occasions, instead of the the sticky strip removing my hair, my hair removed the sticky patch from the strip! I will get super pissed as i will be spending time trying to remove the coloured sticky patches from my leg.

I have looked at IPL services for bikini line and lower legs. Packages cost few hundred dollars for a fixed number of packages.. Few years ago, I have also signed up for unlimited underarm package.. however, it only allows a customer to have 1 session every 2-3 months.. I will still need to do my own removal between sessions, and if I miss a session, I will need to wait up to 6 months! =(
.
I have been looking at reviews and considering if there are any products that I can afford, so that I can do IPL session at home, at my convenience. 

After much consideration, I got this product. It's cartridge has flashes. They also have another cartridge with capacity of 120,000 flashes which costs $999.

Sessions should be done once per week. Today is my second session. I am currently using it for underarm, lower legs and bikini line. I will do 4-5 rounds for all the sessions. 

I will update on the effectiveness after more sessions. =)


Update of Review

 I am here to update on the use of Me Touch after few months. +P

I see a obvious reduction of hair growth on underarms and legs. I can now wear sleeveless dresses everyday! :) I am so happy about this as most nice clothes that are sold in Singapore, are sleeveless. There will be some hair growth, however, they are very fine, and not that visible, so it doesn't matter.

However, for bikini triangle, I dont see much effect.

Their website also claim that it helps in whitening. However, it does not have any whitening effect for me.. =(

I do recommend this product to you, for the convenience and affordable price (compared to signing of packages).
