Sponsored Review: Leaders Clinic (Blackhead Savior)

Here's a skincare superpower from Korea! Introducing Leaders Clinic!
Serenity Allure have kindly sponsored me with their "Sulfur Clinic Blackhead Suction Nose Pack + Pore Stamping Serum" and "Vita Whitebeam Essential Mask". Thank you!

A laboratory-tested treat for your skin...

"Leaders Clinic Clinie" is developed by dermatological specialists of Leaders Skin Clinic and graduates of Seoul National University. It provides a non-irritating dermatological skin care that prevents skin troubles, and promotes safety of the skin through strict laboratory tests of scientific ingredients.

This Blackhead Savior works in 2 simple steps...

Step 1: Sulfur Clinic Blackhead Suction Nose Pack

There are a total of 10 packs in a box. 

This is one of the more interesting peels for blackhead removal that I've used. The X-factor lies in the ingredients used --- Sulfur and Charcoal!!

 Here's how the nose pack looks like --- a smooth side (left) and a cottony one on the reverse side (right).

1.  Use the nose pack after cleansing the skin around your nose. Remember to wet your nose!!!

2.  Peel off the plastic liner from the nose pack. 

3. Apply the nose pack to your nose with the smooth side facing down, and press down the nose pack to ensure good contact with the skin. The nose pack won't stick if your nose isn't wet!! I know because I did exactly that! @>.<@

4.Wait for 15-20 minutes for the nose pack to dry. 

This is when the X-factor sets in... There is a mild sulfur smell, I thought that was rather unique for a nose pack since most of the others which I'd used have a floral fragrance. STILL, I prefer Leaders Clinic's version as the sulfur smell kind of calm my nerves. For those of you who are holding back because of this, don't be over-worried. The distinctive sulfur smell will fade away after a while. 

And in case you are pondering why in the world did Leaders Clinic incorporated sulfur as an ingredient, here's your answer. Sulfur and charcoal actually helps in exfoliating, refining pores, and controlling excess oil!! I must say that this is revolutionary, something you can expect only from Leaders Clinic's Sulfur Clinic Suction system.

5. Slowly and carefully peel off the strip starting from the edges.

Here's how the nose pack looks like after the 15-20 minutes wait...ALL STIFF AND RIGID!

I think I peeled off the nose pack too violently...OUCHH!

After this, wipe/ wash off the remaining traces of the nose pack in preparation for Step 2!

Now for Step 2 of the blackhead removing treatment: Pore Stamping Serum!

I must praise Leaders Clinic for this. Who would have been so meticulous as to tighten the pores after the blackhead removal? =^.^=

There's even a hygiene seal! ♥

 Step 2 goes like this. Simply apply a small amount of the serum onto your nose!

The serum left my nose feeling smoother! Try it too! 

You can enhance the pore-tightening effect by using cold water to rinse off the remaining traces of the nose pack (before Step 2).

Sponsored Review: Elicina Plus

Here's my review of Elicina Plus! Loads of thanks to Elicina again, for sponsoring me with this NATURAL SNAIL CREAM!

 

Elicina Plus is tightly sealed to ensure maximum hygiene! I realised that the seal is also useful for preventing the cream from clinging onto the cover. So DO NOT peel it off!

Yikes!! I pulled off the seal too violently I guess...now some of the cream is spilled out! o(╥﹏╥)o

Learn from my mistake guys!!! Tap the bottom of the jar against the tabletop before opening the seal! 

* Psst...there will be a mini-giveaway sponsored by Elicina exclusively for Be Gorgeous, Stay Gorgeous's readers....stay tuned to find out more*

Use a spatula to remove a sufficient amount of Elicina Plus snail cream. This is for hygiene purposes too!

Actually, this amount of cream is MORE THAN ENOUGH for the scars and acne on my face. Just apply really lightly over the scars, wrinkles, stretch marks and acne will do. 

Apply the cream onto cleansed skin. (Once again, this amount of cream would be too much....I am only using the cream that has spilled out to demonstrate how to use Elicina Plus)

For the best results, apply Elicina Plus to targeted areas twice a day (morning and night). 

ALERT!!!: More is not better. Do not apply Elicina Plus for more than twice a day as there could be excessive and unnecessary peeling. 
(Elicina Plus is an exfoliating cream which uses Glycolic acid to exfoliate the targeted areas for deeper penetration of the product) 

Look at how fast the cream is being absorbed by my skin!! Elicina Plus is actually highly moisturising. This is good for reducing the appearance of scars as the skin is kept free from irritation, dryness and stiffness. (Massaging the cream into your skin helps too!)

In fact, Elicina Plus is enriched with more moisturisers than Elicina (pioneer version)! Elicina Plus is 80% organic snail extract and 20% moisturisers.

Another plus-point about Elicina Plus is that the skin does not feel sticky after application of the cream.♥

Here are some areas where I've applied Elicina Plus --- pimple scar (face) and abrasion scar (foot).

There are really results as I see that those areas have lightened slightly, though not significantly. I'll just have to continue applying Elicina Plus....Consistency is key!  

Different types of scars also require a different period of time to fade away. A scar that is left behind after a major surgery (those that look like a thick wrinkled cord with a darker pigmentation) would require a longer time to recover. With Elicina application on these queloids twice a day, the pigmentation should resemble that of healthy skin, and the cord would become smaller. 

Now here's a potential Mother's Day gift.

Sponsored review: Skin Watchers Papaya Moisture Peeling Gel

What makes this special?

• This exfoliating gel is GENTLE on the skin  

• Comprises largely of NATURAL ingredients ♥:
• Papaya extracts (natural exfoliating & whitening agent = smoother, brighter, softer & more supple skin)
• Ma Chi Xian extracts (Chinese herb that is loaded with goodness like Omega-3 acids, beta-carotene, fiber, antioxidants, Vitamin C & other minerals = nourishes the skin)
• Arginine (conditions, heals & protects the skin)
• Hiaruron Acid (moisturizes) 

• Paraben-free, Fragrance-free,  Alcohol-free, Pigment-free (= Suitable for SENSITIVE skin!)

How to use?

1. Remove the seal!
(It sounds kind of redundant, but hey, how many of those exfoliating gel that you've tried has a hygiene seal on?)

*Did I mention that Skin Watchers is a Korean brand? ♥*

2. Remove your make-up, wash your face, and towel dry.
(Only use the Papaya Peeling Gel on a dry face!)

3. Squeeze a small amount of Papaya Peeling Gel onto your fingertips.

4. Massage the gel onto your face (or any other areas which you wish to remove dead skin cells from, e.g. elbows & neck) VERY GENTLY, and in  a circular motion.

*Can you see the micro-exfoliating beads (I think)? These are really fine and helps a great deal in removing the dead skin cells.*

5. Rinse with water and continue with your regular skincare routine!

*Can you see how much dead skin cells are removed?! Another plus-point is that the Papaya Peeling Gel is really easy to wash off, revealing a SIGNIFICANTLY smoother, softer and brighter skin.*

P.S. This also helps to prevent skin problems like enlarged pores, blackheads, pimples, blemish & dull skin tone!

Skin Watchers' Papaya Moisture Peeling Gel has got to be ONE OF THE BEST exfoliating gel that I've tried!
Many thanks to Beauty Finest Pte Ltd for giving me the chance to try such a marvelous product! ♥
