Crystal Tomato® Plus



Crystal Tomato® Plus is made from a special varietal of 100% natural non-genetically-modified, preservative-free tomatoes in a GMP and TGA certified laboratory in the United States of America. Certified halal by the Islamic Food and Nutrition Council of America, each Crystal Tomato® Plus caplet contains 800 mg Crystal Tomato® Carotenoids, which corresponds to three fresh Crystal Tomatoes.

Unlike orange or red carotenoids, which change the colour of the skin to an orange shade when consumed in large amounts, Crystal Tomato® Carotenoids will not affect the colour of the skin. When consumed, Crystal Tomato® Carotenoids protect the skin in the following ways:

✤ Natural sun protection against UVA/UVB rays
✤ Act as an antioxidant
✤ Anti-inflammatory properties
✤ Inhibit melanin synthesis
✤ Reduce melanin presence

I don't see tangible effects as of yet – of course, this is based on my results from one blister. In view that the skin is a large organ and the benefits are delivered head to toe, two to three months for visible radiance and lightening effects should be expected.

Taking Crystal Tomato® Plus is like eating fresh tomatoes and can be taken anytime, day or night, before food or after food. It is recommended to take daily at a regular time (i.e. if a pill is taken in the morning on the 1st day, try to follow the same sequence the following days).

It is suitable and safe for all including pregnant women, breast feeding mothers and vegetarians – with the exception of people who are allergic to tomatoes or have been advised by their physicians not to take tomatoes. Available at aesthetic medical clinics at RM 480 for a box of three blisters (30 caplets).

Yogurugen Colon D'tox

Yogurugen is a safe and natural way to help in the elimination process without the use of laxatives as it only contains Lactitol, Bifidobacteria Lactis, Inulin, Beta Carotene and Vitamin C. It comes in one flavour: orange (オレンジ).


Name: Yogurugen Colon D'tox
Price: RM 68
Contents: 30 g ×5
Made in: Japan

What does it do?
Yogurugen says that this supplement can:
◆ Detoxify
◆ Replenish intestinal friendly bacteria
◆ Assist in slimming/weight loss
◆ Strengthen immune system
◆ Improve skin
◆ Boost digestive system

How much to take?
Once a week, mix a sachet of Yogurugen with 200 ml of water below 40 ℃ and consume on an empty stomach. Follow up for the next 2 days (altogether 3 days consecutively) and once a week thereafter. Avoid solid foods at least 2 hours after drinking.


Nutritional facts?
Per serving:
◆ Energy: 113 kcal
◆ Carbohydrate: 28.2 g
◆ Protein: 0.9 g
◆ Fat: 0 g

Does it have any side effects?
I don't see why it would negatively affect anyone. The ingredients are all natural and it is even safe for children and pregnant women. Their dosages are different though, so you might want to study the instructions before starting.

What does it taste like?
This mildly sweet orange drink is surprisingly palatable! If I did not know better, I would have thought that I was sipping an extremely diluted orange concentrate.


Do the benefits meet your target? If you answered yes, you may want to pick up a box at SaSa stores nationwide.

Works With Water

I started consuming Coenzyme Q10 and Zinc supplements from February 1st. They were my happiest purchases of the month! Coenzyme Q10 does wonders in slowing down the ageing process and Zinc curbs acne and blackhead problems. Vain much?


Sadly, this Zinc supplement did not help to stop me from breaking out. Since I have already purchased a ton of bottles, I will still continue to consume it but I was honestly disappointed that it did not work.

To my delight, Works with Water provided me with an alternative when they sent four weeks worth of help: clear skin for me to try out.

help: clear skin contains Praventin™ a clinically proven bioactive protein, rich in lactoferrin, which has been shown to reduce the development of the bacteria responsible for many skin impurities, helping to prevent the formation of blemishes due to its antimicrobial effects.

Name: help: clear skin
Price: £ 32.47 for 28 days pack
Made in: UK

I took it religiously on a daily basis. Nothing can stop me in achieving a clear blemish free skin! Moreover it is such an easy upkeep; I stir it into my hot beverage, chug it down and I am done. That is how simple it is!


I experienced very clear skin whilst taking it, and there were no blemishes whatsoever to plague me. A few zits that were brewing in the backburner (they hurt a lot but no head) even vanished two days after I started consuming help: clear skin.


But the real test was during the time of the month where a few pimples usually pop up. To my surprise, only one tiny pimple popped up. Usually I will get a handful so overall it was an amazing month. I am pretty worried now that I have finished my supply, I definitely need to get more!

Works with Water also tucked in a box of help: revitalise my skin into my package. A box has seven sachets, which means a week's dosage.

help: revitalise my skin tasty gel supplements contain Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), a proven anti-ageing agent, and Aloe Vera, which aids skin regeneration, to help your skin stay beautifully revitalised… and in tip-top condition. (Source: workswithwater.co.uk/)


Name: help: revitalise my skin
Price: £ 32.47 for 28 days pack
Made in: UK

As mentioned earlier, I take CoQ10 capsule supplements. help: revitalise my skin was a nice addition to my routine. A serving comes in its own sachet, so you can keep it in your bag when you are on the go, it is convenient and it does not take up much space.


The delicious apple flavoured supplement has a watery jelly texture.


I think a week is too short a time for me to notice a difference in my skin. And I have to admit that I have not observed an improvement after taking CoQ10 for the past two months.

The reason? One help: revitalise my skin sachet contains 600 mg CoQ10 whereas one CoQ10 capsule only has 30 mg CoQ10. It means that I have been taking practically nothing all these times; 20 times more is nothing to scoff at. I have to take a zillion capsules per day for any effect to show (> ω <)

There is no point for me to do a comparison, help: revitalise my skin is another kettle of fish altogether. I think it is very obvious that I much prefer help: revitalise my skin, it has a higher concentration of CoQ10 and also it is reasonably priced.

I read that the products from Works with Water might be sold at SaSa stores nationwide soon and I can't wait for that time to come!

For now, I would purchase them from workswithwater.com (FREE worldwide delivery for orders over £ 45). They are also available in SaSa stores in Hong Kong and from Boots, Superdrug, Waitrose and Holland & Barrett in the UK.
