Moisturizer Collection Review.

Chanel Precision Beaute Initiale Energizing Multi-Protection Cream SPF 15.
The texture is rich refreshing cream that protects skin from the damage of UVA/B rays. Derivatives of Vitamins C and E, combined with four essential trace elements (Magnesium, Manganese, Zinc and Copper) form a true concentrate of vitality. It doesn't feels heavy on my skin and gives and instant glow. This is a product formula for first signs of age rebuild to preserve youthfulness. It leaves my skin feeling soft and moist.


Chanel Precision Hydramax Active Moisture Boost Fluid.
I love everything about this moisturizer from it's light weight texture to the smell of white peaches, heightened by citrus fruits, over a delicate bouquet of jasmine, peony and cyclamen flowers. The HYDRABARRIER SYSTEM – an active ingredient develop by Chanel, strengthens the skin's barrier function. Moisturizing fluid for face, it hydrates and smoothens my skin makes it look supple. This can be use as day cream.
Chanel Precision Hydramax Active Moisture Gel Cream.
This is a gel cream base a little heavier than the fluid version. The smell and function are the same as Moisture Boost Fluid. Except it comes in a jar and a spatula. This can be use as night cream.

Shiseido Day Moisture Protection SPF 15.
I love the fact that this moisturizer contains SPF 15 an extra protection for me out in the sun. The texture is light weight and my skin absorb it instantly like a sponge. A very good base under foundation if you want a minimum coverage. This is definitely daytime moisturizer specially formulated to provide optimal hydration and balance in skin while protecting against UV rays and the damaging effects of other environmental factors.

Shiseido Night Moisture Recharge Light.
A multi-action nighttime revitalizer that counteracts signs of daytime damage and delivers intensive hydrating benefits to skin while you sleep. Restores softness, smoothness, and a healthy-looking glow. As much as I like the day cream, it seems different for the night cream. Though it's light weight texture but it doesn't sink into my skin and make it feels sticky and heavy. It sometimes make my skin feel itchy and uncomfortable.
Lancome Blanc Expert Ultimate Whitening Hydrating Cream.
The texture is gel base and whitens, hydrates & softens skin for a sublime look all day long. It contains vitamin C for pure white sensation and minimizes melanin production to prevent spots & dull skin tone. Provides optimal amount of amino acids & sugars for skin. Most of the whitening products leave the skin feeling dry but this moisturizer not only hydrates but softens my skin.

Lancome Primordiale Nuit Skin Recharge Visible Revitalising Renewing Night Moisturiser.
The texture is creamy and infused with a relaxing fragrance, intensely regenerate the skin overnight. My skin feels regenerated and look perfectly rested, hydrated, revitalised the next day. It does not feel too heavy and oily after applying onto my skin. It absorb instantly and my skin feels hydrated.
Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion.
It's a light-weight, non-oily moisturizer, I use it once in a while on top of other moisturizer if I still feels my skin a little uncomfortable. This product doesn't really add: radiance, firmness, tightness, skin lightening. On the upside, it doesn't create blackheads, milia and it's fragrance free. It absorbs rapidly. Non-greasy. Inoffensive. It's perfect for rushed mornings when I don't have time for my daily moisturizers to absorb.

Sothys Noctuelle Time Interceptor Night Cream.
It containts 8% AHA complex, to brighten the complexion. This AHA complex provides hydration and mild micro-exfoliation to the skin's top layers. Also prevents and diminishes the first external signs of aging. The 8% concentration of lactic acid will help speed your skins natural exfoliation process while also having a moisturizing action. However it feels heavy and sticky on my skin, would recommend it for individuals with more mature skin.

Biotherm Aquasource Non-Stop.
I love the fresh-textured gel which is enriched with a patented hydrating complex to provide a reservoir effect on my skin. It is pure concentrate of mineral-rich Thermal Spring Water revitalizes skin and improves skin texture with the equivalent of 5,000 liters of enriched water in each jar. It contains Vitamins E and F to promote cell regeneration. My skin feels instantly refreshed and hydrated, supple and silky soft, perfectly revitalized throughout the day. I also love the smell of this moisturizer.

The FaceShop The Skin Nutritive Essential Moisturizer.
The texture is lightweight and sink straight to my skin without feeling heavy and sticky on the skin. This is a repairing aging-care line that offers 4 skin repairing effects with acti-firm complex, vitamin B3, and NAG(Normal Acetly Glucosamin). However I didn't see any results after using it for weeks.
Cellnique Oasis Soothing Gel.
The texture is soothing and calming, due to the highly concentrated, Aloe vera gel-based formulation designed for all skin types. This moisturizer is further enhanced with the infusion of witch hazel, horse chestnut, and marine collagen to deliver an ultra-effective moisturizing formula and contains no diazolidinyl urea. The only downside is there's no SPF for daytime use. Otherwise, this is one of the best moisturizer I've ever come across. The fine lines on my forehead fade away and my skin feels soft in just two weeks time.

Bobbi Brown Protective Face Lotion SPF 15.
I love this as it hydrates and prepares my skin for perfect makeup application while shielding against the sun's damaging rays with SPF 15. It contains antioxidant vitamin E to help fight skin-damaging free radicals, and chamomile to calm and soothe. It had become one of my favorite all time moisturizer for day time.
SkinFood Herb Salad Essence.
A mild essence with vegetable essential oil to nourish and moisturize those who have sensitive and tired skin. Contains natural scent and no artificial color. It sinks straight to my skin and for those of you with sensitive skin, I would recommend this to calm and sooth your complexion.
SkinFood Lettuce Cucumber Water Drop Essence.
A moisturizing essence containing lettuce and cucumber extracts rich in moisture, minerals, and vitamins. It hydrates skin with bursting water drops. It feels so refreshing and lightweight on my skin, it's not heavy at all. But I will only recommend this for younger skin.

Kiehl's Yerba Mate Tea Lotion.
This moisturizer is oil-free, suitable for all skin types, is formulated with an extract derived from Yerba Maté, an extraordinary South American herb. It helps infuse skin with all it needs to combat dullness and maintain its healthful and youthful vivacity. The texture is lightweight, helps to improve skin texture, clarity and radiance without clogging pores. However the downsides are the smell and there's no SPF for day time use. Can't really tolerate it at first but the funny smell eventually fades away once I applied it onto my skin. I love the effect as it makes my skin soft.
