* Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion

Given description:

Your skin naturally renews itself every four to five weeks. So treat it as gently as possible with Cetaphil® Moisturizers, originally formulated for dermatologists to treat dry, sensitive skin. Cetaphil® Moisturizers are fragrance-free to prevent irritation, with emollients and humectants to rejuvenate your skin.

Non-comedogenic Cetaphil® Moisturizing Lotion is an elegant, non-greasy formulation that is mild, non-irritating and long lasting. The cosmetically appealing formulation contains emollients and humectants to bind moisture to the skin. The fragrance-free moisturizer contains no lanolins or parabens that could irritate sensitive skin.

Now all those who suffer from allergies or simply have sensitive skin are probably well versed with the brand Cetaphil. Cetaphil is a brand all dermatologists recommend for those who have allergies/sensitive skin etc. It is a fragrance free, non-comedogenic, and paraben/lanolin free.




This has no scent (duh, because it's fragrance free), and has a semi gel-like texture. I know that might be kind of hard to visualize, but yeah, it's sort of like a cross between a gel and a cream. Does not really feel too oily on my skin thankfully.



This cream was a saviour during my rash days, when the doctor prescribed it to me and i was unable to use anything else. My skin was dry and itchy and i could only use this so yes, thanks Cetaphil!


Unfortunately, i have the worst skin. Eczema, oily and pimply. After using this cream, my skin became really smooth. Not that there was no pimples, i did have pimples, but the texture of the pimple-free areas was really smooth. I was quite pleasantly surprised because i didn't expect a product that has no fancy ingredients or names to do such wonders for my skin.




This product costs between $15-$20 SGD. You should be able to get this at any pharmacy.



Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥ i would really recommend this to those with sensitive or allergy prone skin and are just looking for a moisturizer that won't irritate their skin.

Well firstly i want to clarify the asterix in the title. As i said in the previous post, i recently suffered from a eczema outbreak that i found out was due to dustmites. However, during that period when i had the eczema on my face, i was using a couple of products. The products that i used during that period are marked with an asterix, so my review on them might be partially biased as i thought that one of them could have caused the rash.




Okay i was using this product way before i had an outbreak, so i don't think this contributed to it. It states here that it is for sensitive skin, but im not sure how true that is.




The texture of this cream is light. I used it as a day and night cream, because i didn't think it was necessary for me to have a proper night cream. The smell of this is a little odd, undefinable. Absorbs fairly quickly into skin, leaving an oily feel and sheen to your skin. I would suggest not applying too much to avoid such things from happening.




I quite liked this cream when i started using it. In fact, this is my first moisturizing lotion! I'm not using this now anymore, because the doctor prescribed something else to me to use when we were trying to determine the cause of my rash.




This product is cheap, so i would recommend this if you are on a tight budget. Works well too.



You can get this at any pharmacy like Guardian or Watsons.

Vichy Normaderm Active Anti-imperfection Concentrate

Given description:

Vichy Normaderm Anti-imperfection Concentrate 15ml. Suitable Skin Type/ Concern: Oily and imperfection-prone skin

A targeted treatment that works on the spot to shrink and clear imperfections.
Results: Instantly, the inflamed area is calmed, redness gradually disappears. The size of the imperfection is reduced after 8 hours and cleared after 24 hours. Will not dry out the skin.

The 1st Vichy skin treatment with 4% concentration of Salicyclic Acid SC in order to break up the layers of dead skin cells accumulated on the surface, in order to reduce and absorbs imperfections while drying them out without irritating the skin, and to regulate sebum production locally in order to stop eruptions at their source Vichy Normaderm Anti-imperfection Concentrate 15ml. Hypo-allergenic. dermatologically tested. Vichy Normaderm skin care range is suitable for oily to combination skin and acne prone skin.

The cream was light and smelled a little clinic-y for my liking. I would have preferred a more subtle, maybe even floral or refreshing scent. Im not that big on the smell of this one.




The cream was easy to spread, though it left my face looking a tad shiny.



The next day, there wasn't any noticeable difference. However, the spots were a little less red and inflamed, so i guess there must be some sort of improvement there.



Vichy products are targeted at shiny oily skin prone to pimples and acne, so i would recommend Vichy products to you if you have oil acne-prone skin. Using one product does not have much difference to me, but i guess if you use their whole range the results would be better.


Should retail at about $27-$30 SGD? Theres a Vichy counter at Paragon Metro, and there should be one in Takashimaya Ngee Ann City.
