Another product of Neogen that I would like to try on, which is Neogen Vita Duo Joan Day Joan Night Cream (100g) with the promo price is RM 89.00, but the normal price is RM 128.00 at the Hermo website. In my previous post, I have been shared about the Neogen Bio-Peel Gauze Peeling. 

Neogen Vita Duo Joan Day Joan Night Cream is a dual cream for day and night; which are Joan Day Vita Cream – a daily moisturizing cream delivers an intensive soothing benefit of green tea while containing vitamin C helps fight fatigue by energizing and reviving skin; and Joan Night Vita Cream – a daily sleeping mask delivers an intensive soothing benefit of lavender while helping strengthen the skin's natural power with vitamin E. This product is the collaboration with Joan Kim, one of the popular YouTubers Korea.  

To be honest, my skin type is the combination to oily skin type rather than of Joan Kim skin type is dry skin type. So, it's given me a big concern about this product claims off. This product claims that its super lightweight, fresh texture absorbs quickly, not leaving a greasy, and sticky feeling on the skin. The Joan Day Vita Cream does get absorbed quickly with the green tea scent and the Joan Night Vita Cream is a gel-cream consistency with the lavender scent. This has a very gel-like yet creamy consistency while it glides over your skin. It is hard to state the reason why but it could be due to the humidity of my country. I feel like this makes me look slightly more oily after a few hours a day and night after applying both of this cream. I don't know what was happening after I using this product for a few days, it's made my skin had grown some pimples too. I think this product is made for who have dry skin type. So, I give this product to my mom, who is have a dry and mature skin type. I would like to give 2.8 stars out of 5 stars for this product.

In the previous post, I already share the Korean products of SOME BY MI, which are the entire line of SOME BY MI Snail Truecica Miracle Repair Products that I have been try before. It is including SOME BY MI Snail Truecica Miracle Repair Low pH Gel Cleanser (100ml), SOME BY MI Snail Truecica Miracle Repair Toner (135ml), SOME BY MI Snail Truecica Miracle Repair Serum (50ml), and SOME BY MI Snail Truecica Miracle Repair Cream (60g). I think it's the time, I would like to share my thought after 2 months using the SOME BY MI Snail Truecica Miracle Repair products.

SOME BY MI Snail Truecica Miracle Repair Low pH Gel Cleanser is A mild and gentle gel cleanser with a low pH value of 5.5. Formulated with black snail extract to heal damaged skin, and enriched with 17 types of amino acids, ceramide and panthenol to strengthen the skin's moisture barrier, maintaining plumper and firmer complexion. Forms rich, creamy bubbles that cleanse skin without leaving it dry or irritated. A high concentration of Snail Truecica™ containing SOME BY MI's exclusive ingredient and Black Snail Secretion Filtrate enhance skin's ability to protect itself to repair damaged skin and soothe sensitive skin. Amazing skin regenerative power 'Mucin', Snail 'Mucin' which is a component of snail mucus, has the power of repairing its damaged skin tissues and restoring broken shells.

SOME BY MI Snail Truecica Miracle Repair Toner is formulated with black snail extract, snail truecica and a patented combination of plant extracts, this refreshing and moisturizing toner boast whitening and anti-wrinkle effects. It makes use of snail's powerful regenerative power to strengthen the skin barrier, heal damaged skin and soothe sensitive skin, while its special acne spot care solution stops melanin production, protects the skin from ultraviolet rays, and effectively reduces acne scars and hyperpigmentation. A high concentration of Snail Truecica ™ containing SOME BY MI's exclusive ingredient and Black Snail secretion filtrate enhance skin's ability to protect itself and soothe sensitive skin caused by external stimulus. 

SOME BY MI Snail Truecica Miracle Repair Serum is a Mucin essence, which contains 89% of Snail Truecica™, which provides powerful skin energy through the combination of self-sustaining black Snail and SOME BY MI™ own Truecica technique. So, it calms skin sensitive to external irritation and stress, strengthens skin's natural strength by caring for skin problems. A dermatologist named Fernando Bascunan analyzed this carefully and found that mucin, the snail's slime which generates when the snail is hurt, can regenerate snail's damaged skin cells and broken shell. Black Snail's mucin holds the potent skin-healing regenerative power up to 6 months to last through the winter sleep. That why, SOME BY MI stick to using only Black Snail among many snails; which is Snail Truecica™ 890,000pp. (Black Snail 880,000ppm and Truecica™ 10,000ppm).

SOME BY MI Snail Truecica Miracle Repair Cream is formulated with highly concentrated 420,000ppm of snail Truecica consisting of tea tree, cica, and mugwort to soothe irritated skin quickly, as well as black snail mucin to repair the damaged skin barrier. For long-lasting effects, this repair cream is also infused with marine collagen, 5 kinds of ceramide, and peptide to strengthen the skin barrier. It boasts a lightweight, fast-absorbing formula that does not leave a sticky feeling, making it suitable for all skin types. A non-greasy snail cream that combines Truecica™ with a blend of five ceramides to repair the skin barrier and reduce irritation. 

It is easy to use the entire products for the optimal result by following from Cleanser → Toner → Serum → Cream. In the initial step of a basic skincare routine, apply an appropriate amount over face along with the skin texture, from inside to the outside of the face and gently smooth for better absorption. I've been using it for 2 months. My skin is sensitive and oily, that I choose carefully about what I use on my skin. When I applied it on my skin, it did not sting and I felt like it is very mild on the skin. Compare to its viscous texture, it is lightweight and fast-absorbing, that even people with oily skin like myself can use it without having to worry. My main concern is acne scars on my face and these products are claim can reduce the acne scars. After using these products for 2 months, I can see my acne scars are still visible but only the red acne scars are reduced and gone for the new acne scars. Maybe it's taken time to reduce the old acne scars even I still can see the improvement in my skin. I would like to give 4.5 stars out of 5 stars to these products. I will repurchase this product in the future. 

Another product of Mise En Scene that I would like to try on, which is Mise En Scene Perfect Coco Water Serum (70ml) with the normal price, is RM 42.90 at the Malaysia Watson Store. This is not my first time trying the brand from Mise En Scene and I do like this brand from Korea. In my previous post, I share about the Mise En Scene Perfect Styling Serum.

Mise En Scene Perfect Coco Water Serum is a water serum that improves damaged hair fresh without stickiness. Unlike other oil serums, it permeates like water, making it perfect for summer. The Perfect Coco Water Serum contains 200 times the amount of coconut water than Perfect Serum Original to intensive moisturizing. The clean and fresh aqua floral scent lasts all day long. The new-concept water-type serum is absorbed like water. It's non-sticky damage care even in summer. 

It's made with healthy, naturally derived ingredients – powerfully recharge water to hair. For the 7x Oil Cocktail from the original formula, 200 times more naturally derived coconut oil is added. Feel the difference in the powerful recharger to moisturize your hair. The 7x Oil Cocktail includes an effective combination of argan oil (protects hair), camellia oil (nourishes hair), coconut oil (coats hair shafts), apricot kernel oil (hair shine), marula oil (protects hair), jojoba oil (moisturizes hair), and olive oil (moisturizes hair) at the optimal ratio is the secret behind the intensive hair care by MiseEnScene. A pleasantly aqua floral fragrance like luxury perfume, no coconut scent. Feel the clean, fresh scent evocative of moist flower petals all day long; which are on base – the warm, soft musky scent (precious wood, amber, & musk); mid – the fresh peachy floral scent (pink peony-lily-carnation-osmanthus, & peach), and top – clean, watery floral scent (freesia-lotus blossom, rose water-cyclamen, & apple-berry). 

Among the scent of this pink serum are peach, peony, rose, musk, and amber. The scent is quite nice for me and it's not strong. It's easy to use it. First, take about a coin-sized amount of serum, and then apply the serum all over hair and style as usual. After styling, apply on the tips for the best results. After using the product, it does help with my frizzy hair to become easier, felt resilient, and manageable. I do recommend to those who worried about burning hair under intense sunlight and concerned about tangled curly hair on humid rainy days. It's full of freshness to those who hate sticky oil in the hand and concerned about greasy hair due to sweat and oiliness. I would like to give 4.8 stars out of 5 stars for this product.

On last a few weeks ago, I just back from a short holiday at Swiss-Garden Residences Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for 5 days and 4 nights with my mom. I make a reservation for this holiday in April 2020, but the Malaysian government makes the MCO (Movement Control Order) which starts on 18 March 2020 until 9 June 2020. Unfortunately, I can't stay there during the MCO period so I do the exchange date to July 2020. Even though, Malaysia is still in RMCO (Recovery Movement Control Order) period; which starts on 10 June 2020 until 31 August 2020 but we're allowed to go holidays in domestic. 

During this RMCO, some of the sectors are allowed to start operations including the tourism sectors like hotels or Travel agencies Company but it only allows for domestic traveling in these moments. All the hotels in Malaysia must have to follow the SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) from the Malaysian government. As an SGI VC member's, I become curious about the SOP in the hotel after this pandemic COVID-19 even I received the email from the SGI VC about this new norma SOP hotel. 

So far, I do see they are practicing the new norma and SOP hotel. For example, checking the body temperature before entering the building, scanning the QR Code of MySejetera, keep the social distance 1 meter, and places the hand sanitizer in different areas. Even the cleaning room is around 1 time within 2 days, but all the stuff already in the room for 2 days stocks, like toiletries, mineral water bottles, tea & coffee. They say it's because they want less contact between staff and customers for these moments. It's feeling new at the beginning but this is the way for us to keep safe from the COVID-19. It's also nice after we can take short breaks after MCO even it's just the holiday in Kuala Lumpur hotel.
