Hada Labo Lifting + Firming Part II

Continuing my previous work...

The Lifting + Firming Cream (RM 78.00 for 50 g) boosts the skin's moisture levels to banish dryness and tightness. Although the range as a whole gets a thumbs-up, this velvety moisturiser has got to be my top pick. It leaves the skin so much plumper and firmer by the next morning.

Brand-new on the market from Hada Labo is the Lifting + Firming Wrinkle Care Cream (RM 74.90 for 30 g). It targets age sensitive contours around the lips and eyes. The rich cream (like one of those balmy eye creams!) nourishes the skin, imparting a smooth appearance.

Finally, there's the Lifting + Firming Mask (RM 52.90 for 20 ml ×4). The mask is a good size albeit thick, but the essence left my face so sticky that I ended up rinsing it off. Someone living in a drier climate will be very happy with this mask. Me? Not so much.

Are you a fan of the original Lifting + Firming formula? Are you excited about the new iteration?

Hada Labo Lifting + Firming Part I

The new and improved Lifting + Firming formula uses a blend of hydrolyzed elastin, hydrolyzed collagen, elasgrow, fermented soymilk as well as 4 types of hyaluronic acids to penetrate the epidermis layer for significantly tighter, firmer and more lifted skin.

Lifting + Firming Lotion – Rich (RM 67.50 for 170 ml) delivers moisture deep into the skin and preps it for subsequent products. In a pinch, this lotion can be used as a mask to bring dull skin back to life. Just be prepared to whiz through the bottle because a lot of liquid is needed to saturate the cotton pads.

Featuring Pomegranate Extract and Lycopene, Lifting + Firming Essence (RM 89.90 for 30 g) improves the skin's elasticity. The fluid consistency absorbs quickly, resulting in skin that's healthier-looking.

Then there's the Lifting + Firming Milk (RM 70.90 for 140 ml), an emulsion that adds a great deal of comfort to taut skin. Its lightweight texture makes it perfect for layering and if your skin oils up easily, it can even replace the cream step!

This range is available in stores and online now, you can view and buy it here. I will be reviewing the rest of the products in an upcoming post. Please keep an eye out for it!

Get A Brighter Beam With The All New Philips Sonicare DiamondClean!

Having not-so-white teeth and bad breath can be unpleasant to many. More than that, however, improper oral healthcare routines cause a deeper problem than just on the surface of your teeth, sinking deep into the gums and affecting your entire mouth, thus posing a potential risk for gingivitis and periodontal diseases. These diseases can cause excruciating pain, loss of teeth, infections and indeed affect daily life and overall health.

Philips Malaysia is once again taking the lead in educating Malaysians on the importance of thorough cleaning and taking a smart approach in ensuring good oral healthcare with the launch of the new Sonicare DiamondClean electric toothbrush.

Performing over 31,000 brush strokes per minute, the Philips Sonicare DiamondClean offers five modes for superior cleaning – clean, white, gum care, sensitive and polish. The clean mode ensures ultimate plaque removal while the white mode does exactly what it says – whitening the surface of teeth to remove stains. The gum care mode combines the clean mode with an additional gentle massage for the gums to improve gum health. People with sensitive teeth will not have to worry, as the sensitive mode is extra gentle to cater to their needs. Finally, the polish mode brightens and whitens the teeth, giving a nice finish to the total brushing routine.

Additionally, the unique diamond-shaped bristles on Sonicare DiamondClean toothbrush heads – Philips Sonicare's best whitening brush head yet! – provide a wider surface area and denser bristle pack that effectively yet gently sweeps away plaque and extrinsic stains, providing an exceptional clean and significantly whiter teeth.

Sold at a recommended retail price of RM 999, the Philips Sonicare DiamondClean in black is available at the Philips Brand Store in Publika Shopping Gallery, The Gardens Mall and Sutera Mall; at Philips Experience Stores in Menara Axis, Petaling Jaya and in Penang; and at retail partners and distributor stores nationwide and online via blipmy.com. The Philips Sonicare DiamondClean in purple is available only at dental clinics.
