Beauty Review: 24 Saturn Facial Detox

I have been sleeping sufficiently, well hydrated and eating healthily. However, I can't pin-point why I am having random break-outs on my face after coming back from Malaysia. New year, new (ugly) skin :(
So since there is really nothing much to lose anyway, I tried out 24 Saturn Facial Detox to give my face some much-needed nutrients.

Lately, I seem to be into handy-sized products. So this is the 10ml version which I liked cos it is really easy for you to slip into your make-up pouches. The bottle is really chic looking but unfortunately it is not recyclable. It is the vaccuum bottle design which keeps the products fresh.
What attracted me to the Facial Detox was because it sounded pretty foreign. On the left, I have the Vitamin Boost while on the right, I had the Matte Hydrate. I used the Vitamin Boost at night and the Matte Hydrate every morning.

One thing I noticed was that the products were very concentrated. The product is rather thick and viscous, so I did have doubts on its promise to be non-sticky. I have to say it did impress me when it was quickly absorbed to my thirsty face. For me, I found the Vitamin Boost to be the more interesting product.
It smelt of tangy oranges. So it felt I was putting real oranges on my face. :D I think the effect was equivalent to giving your skin some external Vitamin C and E but this is definitely not a replacement for your daily fruits intakes. Sorry fruit haters, you still got to take your fruits. Matte Hydrate in comparison, was free of any scent, but its texture and absorbance all matched up to the Vitamin Boost.
before-and-after
Quite honestly, I wasn't expecting to see much effects. I have pretty much given up hope on my skin. After one week of religious "seruming", this was the results. My skin has grown a lot less blotchy and orange-like. From the photos, my face doesn't look very smooth, but in reality, it does my skin softer and more supple.
One of the serum I swear by is the V10 (you can read my review) but it is very very expensive. So I would think that the Facial Detox is quite an affordable substitute. If you are really on a budget, then get the Vitamin Boost first because there is really no other skin product out there I am aware of, that is anywhere similar.

Here's an photo of me before going to bed and another filtered photo of me. My skin currently is nowhere near clear and perfect, but I can live with a less flaky skin. I still have half a bottle left, so I am sure you guys will see more improvements. 
I am quite likely to continue using the Vitamin Boost mainly because it is easier on my thinning pockets. LOL! In fact, 24 Saturn's products are all very affordable for their packaging. I haven't tried their other products but do let me know if you have. Meanwhile, I am going to take an early beauty rest :P

My Miracle Serum - V10 Plus Serum

Envious of ladies with youthful gorgeous skin, today I will be sharing the "secret". 3 drops a day and another 3 drops at night is what it takes to bring back the supple right back to your skin. Boi~ Boi~
Colourful Serum
 So this is pretty much the rainbow colouful therapy -V10 Plus in their pretty drip bottles. :) Based on my skin condition, I was given (6!) bottles for my skin. I sound that sounds really a lot to you. But there are 10 in total, which at a point in time I felt I just might need all. So these are the few which I tested. (Ooops, now you know how bad my skin is)
♥ Vitamin-A Serum
♥ Pcynogenol Serum
♥ Placenta Serum
♥ Licorice Serum
♥ Collagen Serum
♥ Vitamin-C Serum
Consultation Sheet
 So first of all, for the helpful people at V10 Plus to know what you need, you would have to fill up this consultation form on the current state of your skin. :) This is just a print screen, the list is actually quite long but it doesn't take too much time to fill up.
Any serum scoring more than 3 means that your skin is pretty much lacking the nutrients this serum can provide. Of course, I understand some of you readers might be thinking, that's quite pricey to get all. So I suggest you can invest in those that your skin really need first and slowly build up the collection. Less heart pain :)
How To Use
Using the serum isn't rocket size, I just pour them all into my hand and massage (ok, sometimes I rub it on pretty violently, really depends on my mood) onto your face.
Most of the serum are colourless and in runny liquid form. They are also quite scentless too. The Pycnogenol serum is the sticky one but even on my skin, the serum is absorbed by my skin in no time. After dripping the holy drops on my hand, it does look like I have a tiny yolk on my hand! :)
Rub it On
 After using it for about a month, I do see visible improvement in my skin. Firstly, it is a lot more supple and radiant. Water-based, it is a very light product and easily absorbed. I don't suffer any breakouts from it. It is truly a product customised for Asian Skin type. I don't have to wear make-up and I can walk out of my house confidently. My Mum and Bro have stealthily stolen drops (that speaks a lot)
It is now my favourite serum and I will definitely continue to use it. Feeling very glad and fortunate that I have a chance to review this wonderful product. So if I do look gorgeous in my subsequent posts, you know what is going on, and you can be like me too. Don't say I didn't share *winks*
Boi  Boi
Now not only I have Baby Fats, I have Baby Skin. #Delirious. Apologetic about my selfie looking quite mad, studying is really driving me half nuts. Maybe I might need to take a break. :(
