Centella is one of my favorite ingredient in skincare!
Every time my skin experience redness and irritation, I will always switch to Cica based skincare. VT Cica Care is VT's skin soothing core ingredients called CICALIAO that help to soothe tired and tender skin and strengthen the moisture barrier to create comfortable and healthy skin.
1. VT Cosmetics Mild Cica Toner Pad
• A exfoliating toner but with cotton pad + essence
• Has mild scent of traditional medicine
• The cotton pad made from soft material, where it able to exfoliate my skin in gentlest way.
• My skin feels so soft and smooth after I use it
• It does hydrates my face a little bit, but it dries quickly, I recommend to use hydrating essence after that.
Thoughts:
This is my
second toner pad after I finished the Abib toner pad. Actually this kind of
product is a exfoliating toner but with pad+essence. This product contains 60
piece of pads. It has mild scent of traditional medicine.
For me i really love the pad material. It is so
soft. One side of pad is for skin exfoliating and the other is usually use as
'pad-masking' for skin hydration.
When comes to exfoliating, it exfoliates my skin
very well. For me it is a mixture of physical exfoliating (the pad design itself)
and chemical exfoliating (the essence contains BHA). My skin feels very clean
and soft after that. My T-zone where my oiliness, blackheads and whiteheads
usually gather (lol) even after cleansing, this pad will clean them very well.
When comes to hydrating, I don't think so this pad
will help you. It dries faster as soon as I applied it on my skin. So I think
this pad is not suitable as 'masking' session .
I have used these pads a few times since this
product arrived to me. However, I think I only be able to use one time a day.
My skin will become drier if I overuse it. So I use it during my p.m routine
only.
Lastly, the product itself is good, from the pad
material, its essence, has mild + good exfoliating power. Recommend!
2. VT Cosmetics Cica Skin Toner
• Has watery + essence consistency
• The essence has light green in color
• Absorb fast onto my skin, no tackiness and stickiness
• Quite hydrating on my skin
• Mild scent of traditional medicine
Thoughts:
So far I haven't see any changes when comes to soothe the skin because my skin behaves good these days .
For sure the essence is very hydrating and very comfortable on my skin.
I been using this a few times and I didn't get any bad reaction so I guess it is ok for my skin even it has fragrance. But don't worry, fragrance makes the least its in ingredients list.
Lastly, I'm looking forward to see what this toner will do on my skin for long term usage.
3. VT Cosmetics Cica Cream
• It has light green gel-cream texture
• The gel easy to spread on my skin, but it takes longer time to absorb
• It moisturizes my skin but it feels a bit sticky especially on my T-zone
• I feel a little bit of cooling effect
• A good moisturizing cream but I'm not fond of the scent.
Thoughts:
I hardly can see soothing effect yet. I only feel my skin becomes warmer.
I feel very uncomfortable with the scent tho. It is not really strong but since the scent stays longer on my skin, I think I don't like it. For me it is a good non greasy cream & very moisturizing cream but the scent is just not for me (it stays long on my face unlike the toner).
So yeah, the cream is not for me mainly because of the scent. Some ppl are okay with that. So you have to try it by yourself.
4. VT Cosmetics Cica Mild Foam Cleanser
• It is a thick and creamy foam cleanser
• Smells like traditional medicine
• The foam actually feel so soft and lightweight on my skin and easy to spread as well
• However, I experience dryness and tightness from using this cleanser
• My skin feels clean after that but it really feel dry
• I think this cleanser is suitable for oily skin people
Thoughts:
I experience dryness and tightness using this foam cleanser. This cleanser remind me some of my previous products I have used where they are very drying on my skin. I feel my skin is squeaky clean but it didn't feel smooth probably because this cleanser is not suitable for my skin type. Luckily there is no bad reaction on my skin except for the drying feeling. I have no problem with the scent because it will eventually fade upon washing my face. I think this foam cleanser is more suitable to oily skin ppl.
5. VT Cosmetics Cica Sleeping Mask
• Gel texture
• Absorb fast on my skin without stickiness
• Smell like traditional medicine but not as strong as the Cica cream
• I prefer this one than the Cica cream
Thoughts:
Straight to my point, I actually like the texture because it is very comfortable on my skin. This one is more hydrating than the cica cream. My entire face has no problem with it. It has lightweight consistency where I feel like it absorbs fast on my skin. I can feel the cooling sensation when the cream touches my skin. Again, like other products from this line, it smells like traditional medicine.
This cream is non greasy cream and it makes my skin feel soft the next morning. I only be able to use this a few times and I like. Even tho it contains artificial fragrance, it didn't give me bad reaction. For me, I think it is a good cream except the artificial fragrance which is unnecessary.
If not because of the scent , I think I will repurchase it...
6. VT Cosmetics Cica Bubble Sparkling Boost
• I love its consistency because it feels so soft on my skin and of course I can feel the cooling sensation
• It smells like traditional medicine but thankfully it doesn't stay after I wash it
• My favorite part is, after I wash it my skin feels very soft! I didn't experience dryness or tightness after I wash my face
• It really makes my skin feel fresh
• And of course my skin didn't experience bad reaction
• This is my new favorite wash off mask <3
Thoughts:
Just like other products from this line, it smells like traditional medicine. When I first apply it on my skin, it has creamy + gel-ish texure. The cooling sensation is very strong when it touches my skin. I apply it on my T-zone mainly, I didn't feel any tight feeling. After a few moment, there is bubble formed.
After I wash it, my skin feels very soft, clean and fresh. I like it. The only thing I dislike about this one is the scent because it still stay even after I wash it.
