咁多年用都用過唔少洗面產品, 但係講話係最愛呢, 又真係諗唔到幾多隻可以榜上有名.  本身我無買IPSA呢枝On The Peak Cleansing Foam既, 最初用既時候係買左其他野, 佢送左枝sample size比我.  嘩, 我一用愛上, 之後拿拿聲碌去敗枝full size翻黎用.  原本我想用sa屋企枝Bioderma Cleanser先開佢黎用, 但係實在太掛住佢喇 (可想而知佢既好用程度係幾勁), 所以都係忍唔住早幾日開左, 而家將佢同Bioderma隔住黎用.

(English: I have been trying different facial cleansing products all these years, well, if I have to pick my top favourites, it’s quite hard for me to even name a few.  Originally, I didn’t get IPSA On The Peak Cleansing Foam.  I tried this because the sample came with a set that I bought earlier.  OMG!  After I used this, I had to rush back and get the full size.  Right now, I have been using Bioderma Cleanser, at first I thought I would finish the Bioderma’s first before opening my love.  But I just miss it too much (so you could imagine how good it is!), well, I just HAD to open it a few days ago…now I am alternating between IPSA’s and Bioderma’s!)

Product Information:

“豐盈細緻的泡沫能深入毛孔，同時含有氨基酸推動原素，三倍加強肌膚對美白成份的吸收效果，並能從肌膚內部鎖緊水份，不讓水份流失。”

(English:  It generates rich foam.  It cleans while brightening skin and replenishing moisture inside skin.)

上年係咁係IPSA敗家, 有一部份既產品我就share過啦, 另外有一部份既產品我仲未寫.  未寫唔係因為佢地唔好用, 而係相反, 因為太好用, 所以我想用耐少少睇下佢地會唔會比我發現有咩缺點.

(English:  As you all know, I splurged quite a bit at IPSA last year.  I have already shared with you my comments on some of the products, and there are still some left to share.  I haven’t shared my comments on the remaining products not because they are not working well, on the contrary, they are working amazingly and I wish to spend more time on the products and see if I could find any “fault” with them.)

無計, 用左成兩個令月都仲係超鍾意呢隻野wor!!  係咩?  就係…

(English:  Well, I am still in love with this after using it for a couple months!  What’s the product?  It’s…)

上年係IPSA跌錢都跌左好幾次.  呢幾個月你都無聽到我講起呢個名, 原因係我清貨當中.  而家已經用緊第二枝Metabolizer (用到一半喇), 同埋清左好多佢地既travel size既東東.  仲有用緊既當然就係佢地其中一隻價錢一d都唔平民既The Time Reset Essence W啦.  我用左成個冬天, 而家同大家share啦:

(English:  I went to IPSA a few times last year and hauled a few times.  These months, you don’t hear me mentioning its name.  It’s because I am clearing up its stock!  I am now using my second bottle of Metabolizer (half way through), and have already cleared up a few of their travel size items.  Of course, I can’t miss out its expensive essence – The Time Reset Essence W  !  I have been using it all winter, and it’s time for me to share my cmments.)

IPSA The Time Reset Essence W

價錢 (Price):  HK$600/ 30ml; HK$900/ 50ml

Product Information:

“高智能雙重鎖水保護屏障，24小時追蹤缺水肌膚，水分全面滲透同時緊鎖於角質深層。配合強效美白成份，肌膚從此細緻嫩滑，剔透亮白。”

(English:  It traces dehydrated skin on a 24-hr basis and replenishes the lost moisture.  It provides a whitening effect too.)

Open up:

呢枝係泵裝.  用既時候泵兩下就得喇.  唔洗好多.  如果你有用開Metabolizer, 呢個係用係Metabolizer之後.

(English:  It comes with a pump.  Two pumps would be enough for the whole face.  If you are using Metabolizer, you’ll have to use this essence after.)

Texture:

泵出黎見到個texture唔係好杰身, 係lotion狀.  推得好開, 同埋都好易吸收.

(English:  The texture is in a lotion form, very blendable and easy to absorb.)

使用次數 (No. of Usage): 2 months (@ night)

用 後感:  你地都知我係乾性皮膚啦, 呢枝野我係潮濕既天氣用覺得有少少heavy, 所以我留翻乾既天氣先用.  我覺得如果你想買呢枝野係夏天用, 同埋如果你係油性皮膚, 我建議唔好喇, 你有機會覺得太rich.  佢每一次分量都唔洗用得多, 泵兩下就夠搽sa成面.  雖然佢係lotion狀, 但係佢比我既感覺都幾潤下, 一定唔係平時個d lotion既清爽feel.  我今個冬天用佢, 覺得佢滋潤既功能好好, 皮膚唔覺得乾.  同埋佢美白既功效都好好wor!  佢幫我brighten up我個膚色, 皮膚好有光澤!  我未搬個陣已經開左佢黎用, 用左一個星期, 我mama問我, “你用左咩皮膚白左咁多”.  雖然我唔鍾意白, 但係皮膚無黃氣真係好開心!  仲要, 佢有美白成分我都無敏感, 都真係難得!  我幾鍾意呢枝野, 雖然價錢係貴, 但係真係有好好既效果.  可惜, 佢個感覺比較rich, 所以真係唔係人人都suitable.  有興趣既, 真係要去counter試真d先呀!  我下年冬天應該都會再諗下買翻佢黎用 (要睇下變左心未).

(English:  After-use Comment:  I have dry skin.  I tried this during humid weather and honestly, I felt a bit heavy on skin.  Therefore, I saved it till dry weather.  If you want to get this for use in summer time or if you have oily skin, I don’t really recommend you doing so as you might feel that it’s too rich on your skin.  I don’t need to use too much, just two pumps are enough.  Even though its texture is in a lotion form, it turns out to be quite rich on skin.  Its moisturizing function is really great.  I have been using it in the winter, and it moisturizes my skin really well.  Also, its whitening function is brilliant!  It brightens up my skin and my skin looks so much more radiant after using it.  Before moving to a new place, I started using this.  After using it for a week, my mom asked me, “what have you been using?  Your skin looks so bright and it whitens up!”  Though I am not a big fan about whitening my face, I’m happy that it helps a lot in kicking away the dullness on my face.  What’s more, it performs its whitening function without irritating my face!  Fabulous!  I quite like this essence though its price is not exactly friendly, it really gives you the effect that it promises.  Sadly, its texture is a bit too rich and it’s not suitable for every skin types.  If you are interested, I’d really recommend you to test it out at counters first!  I might repurchase this when the next winter comes (this really depends if anything would grab my interest before that ).

P.S.  我有佢地個The Time Reset Cream travel size, 但係佢地隻cream真係太rich, 我乾都覺得潤過頭.  同埋我覺得佢個effect無essence咁明顯.  我都係like佢枝essence多好多.

(English:  P.S. I have their travel size The TIme Reset Cream, but the cream is too rich even for me!  I don’t think its effect is as good as the essence.  I still like this essence a lot better than the cream!)

你地都應該記得我前一期係IPSA燒左好多銀紙啦.  我其中買左一個set, 入面有枝IPSA Cleansing Sensitive Mousse送, 呢一期都用緊佢, 都差唔幾用完lu, 又係時候review下佢:

(English:  All of you must remember I hauled quite a few items at IPSA awhile back!  I bought a set and there was a IPSA Cleansing Sensitive Mousse for free.  I have been using it for almost a month and it will soon be used up, therefore, I figure it’s about time to review the product:)

IPSA Cleansing Sensitive Mousse

我呢枝贈品個size都唔細, 都有85ml, 我差唔多用左成個月.

(English:  This free gift is not in small size at all, it has 85ml and allows me to use it for around a month.)

價錢 (Price): HK$200/ 175ml

Product Information:

“高純度‧低刺激‧弱酸性的溫和配方，幼滑泡沫能徹底潔膚、消炎及預防肌膚粗糙。”

(English: It’s very gentle on skin.  The fine foam cleanses skin thoroughly and prevents skin from getting roughand drying out.)

Texture:

Closer:

Blended out:

使用次數 (No. of Usage): 1 month

用 後感: 你睇相都見到佢d泡泡好幼細同埋好密, 推開個感覺都好豐富.  我諗因為佢係俾敏感皮膚用, 所以佢係無咩香味既.  我用左一個月, 覺得佢幾好推, 洗得乾淨.  用緊佢既期間塊面都無咩敏感.  感覺上佢都係幾溫和, 用完個刻都唔會覺得塊面好乾 (但係當然過左10分鐘都唔搽野就一定覺得乾啦).  因為佢係俾敏感皮膚用, 所以用佢既時候唔會有敏感已經係good喇.  但係我就鍾意有多少少effect (係, 我貪心ma). 如果比我揀, 我鍾意佢隻On The Peak洗面膏多d (咁價錢又貴d啦).  我遲少少會再同大家分享佢隻On The Peak洗面膏有幾好!  Overall, 我覺得呢隻Cleansing Sensitive Mousse不過不失啦, 無咩特別lor, 我用完個贈品都應該唔會再買.

(English:  After-use Comment:  As you can see from the pictures, the foam is very fine and condensed.  When it’s blended out, you feel its richness on skin.  Since it’s for sensitive skin, it doesn’t have a  whole lot of fragrance (basically you can’t really smell anything).  I have been using it for a month, it’s very blendable and it cleans well.  While I am using this cleanser, I experience no irritation/ allergies on my skin.  It feels quite gentle on skin and your skin won’t feel dry after washing it off (well but if you pass 10 minutes without putting any skincare products on, yes your skin will feel dry).  As it’s designed for sensitive skin, I guess the main purpose of the product is to reduce irritations on skin.  But I am quite greedy in terms of skincare functions, I generally enjoy products with a few more effects.  If you ask me to choose, I would choose IPSA On The Peak Cleanser over this Cleansing Sensitive Mousse (well On The Peak one is more expensive…).  I’m going to share my comments with you on the On The Peak Cleanser (I can assure you that it’s a great product haha).  Overall speaking, I think this Cleansing Sensitive Mousse is a nice product, but I don’t feel anything special using it, so I won’t repurchase after finishing off this gift!)

上個星期五係Sogo Thankful Week既第一日.  我自己想買翻IPSA, 因為我用緊個枝Metabolizer已經得翻三份一, 咁要買就當然係趁佢送野/ 有set就買定啦.  之後, 我兩個friend (之前比我燒左敗左IPSA個兩個) 問我會唔會去敗IPSA, 我好爽咁話會呀, 咁佢地就叫我幫忙買埋佢地個份, 當然無所謂啦.  買一個人既野又係咁買, 買三個人既野都係咁買之麻.  好, 睇下張合照先 (我覺得堆sa出黎好勁呀, 所以要影低留念):

(English:  The first day of Sogo Thankful Week began last Friday (well, if you don’t know what Sogo Thankful Week is, it’s basically a bi-yearly sale at Sogo).  My Metabolizer has only 1/3 left and I thought it would be good to repurchase during Thankful Week since it either has valuable sets or it comes with extra gifts.  Then, two of my friends (those who got under my influence and hauled some IPSA goodies themselves before) asked if I would be going to the Thankful Week.  “Of course!” I said.  And logically, they told me what they wanted and I would lend a helping hand.  I didn’t mind since I thought buying for one person and buying for three people didn’t really have a difference!  Brilliant!  Let’s take a look at this giant haul

d人唔知我幫friend買, 仲以為我癲左買左三個Metabolizer sets.  其實有兩個Metabolizer sets唔係我既.  枝Time Reset Essence都唔係我既 (我之前買左lu) .

(English:  Well, you must think I am going out of my mind if you don’t know it’s a haul for 3 people right?  2 of the Metabolizer sets and the Time Reset Essence are not mine .)

不如睇下我敗左咩啦:

(English:  Let’s see what I personally have got:)

IPSA Metabolizer Set

價錢 (Price): HK$490

Set includes: Metabolizer R2 (175ml) + Cotton Pad (30pcs) + Cleansing Sensitive Mousse (85ml) + Refiner Skin Clear-ize Clay (15g) + Time Reset Cream CS2 (7g)

本身我好心痕想試有美白同firming個隻 (粉紅色bottle), 但係我諗諗下我枝Time Reset Essence都有呢兩個function, 反而夏天應該唔會用Time Reset Essence (比較rich), 到時先再用美白+firming個枝Metabolizer啦.

(English:  Actually I was debating if I should get the whitening + firming (pink bottle) version, but then I thought I was using Time Reset Essence (which possesses the mentioned functions) anyway, I will leave the pink bottle to summer time since I won’t be using the Time Reset Essence by then as the texture is quite rich .  To be honest, I was really proud of my analysis!)

IPSA Refiner Skin Clear-ize Clay Set

價錢 (Price): HK$320

Set includes: Refiner Skin Clear-ize Clay (100g) + Me Preparing Lotion 2 (30ml) + Cleasning Milky Foam (30ml)

呢set我點解買我都唔係好記得.  我都想試佢個cleansing mask!  咁而加我可以用佢同Kiehl’s個隻做比較睇下邊隻好d.  話呢隻可以做埋磨沙, 我未試呀, 用左再share丫.

(English:  Why did I get this set?  I can’t even remember now!  Well well well, I wanted to try this and maybe I could do a comparison with Kiehl’s later and see which wins!  This one has scrubbing particles and I will definitely share afterwards.)

買 夠一千蚊有set野送 (唔計set), 咁因為我個friend買Time Reset Essence都HK$900, 所以我買多少少野就拎個set同佢share.  不過BA話比我聽買HK$1300 (唔計set) 就送On The Peak Set, 咁當然要On The Peak set抵d啦.

(English:  You will get a special free gift set when the purchased amount reaches HK$1000 (not including sets).  Well my friend got Time Reset Essence which is HK$900, and I just had to get something more to make up for the amount.  Then…all of a sudden, the BA said if the amount reaches HK$1300 (not including sets), there would be a free On The Peak gift set.  Of course, getting the On The Peak set is better!)

我買左:

(English:  I got:)

On The Peak Cleansing Foam (HK$290/ 125g) + Sun Protector (HK$300/ 30ml).

夠sa HK$1300, 所以就送左:

(English:  As the amount reaches HK$1300, the free gift set consists:)

On The Peak Eye Mask x 2pcs + Refiner Mask Fair White Ex x 2pcs + On The Peak Lotion Serum x 30ml + Refiner Skin Clear-ize Clay x 15g + On The Peak Essence x 15ml

我會同個friend分享個gift set.  雖然Sogo個人真係好逼同埋好熱 (係呀, 我出汗呀!), 但係總算收穫豐富.  我買得好開心, 好滿足呀!  可以keep住用一期喇.

(English:  I will split the gifts with my friend.  Even though it was really crowded and hot inside Sogo (yes I was literally sweating!), it was worth my effort!  I was really happy and I think all these stock could keep me going for awhile!)

係wor, 我呢個月前前後後都去左IPSA買左幾次野, 不如睇下張全家福丫 (不過唔包上面個d, 影唔sa呀):

(English:  BTW, I had been at IPSA counter a couple times this month, let’s take a look at the items in my place – hmmm, not including the ones up above:)

係呀, On The Peak Serum Lotion同埋Essence我另外都有一set.  哈哈!  而家我暫時全部護膚野 (mask個d唔計) 都用sa IPSA, 亦都諗住keep住用一段時間啦 (真係見到皮膚明顯有改善麻).  我未share個d會試完再同大家分享.

(English:  Yep, I got On The Peak Serum Lotion and Essence in my earlier purchase.  Haha.  Now, I have switched all my skincare items to IPSA (not including facial masks), and I will keep on using it for some time (since I really see good improvement on my skin).  For those, I haven’t written about, I will definitely share my comments with you all in the coming days.)
