Kosé Sekkisei Essence Excellent Review

Kosé Sekkisei Essence Excellent Review | nicolecynnie.com
Ohayo!

If you're following this space for a certain time, you would know that I've been struggling with clogged pores and occasional blemishes. It's annoying and it somehow affect my self-consciousness. Treating blemishes are really a pain in the ass... cause when you thought you have fully recovered from it, it comes back again.

As I've been using topical blemish spot cream, my skin tends to become very dry, and sometimes with visible flaky skin. I went to Kosé counter last December, hoping to get a non-comedogenic hydrating lotion for an intense hydration for my skin and got myself a bottle of Kosé Sekkisei Essence Excellent.

After using it for 3 months (left only empty bottle), here are my review.

Nicole Cynnie | Dr.Douxi Yolk Replenishing Eggshell Soap Review
Hi readers, how was everyone’s holiday? I just got back from Seoul 5 days ago and it was freezing cold especially when the strong wind blew across my face. My skin became extra dry and flaky after being in the winter for a week. Been slapping all the lotions and moisturizers onto my face to bring back the healthy dewy skin.

If you’re currently suffering from sensitive, dry and/or combination skin, I wanted to introduce to you this awesome product that I received from Hawooo.com. It’s the Dr.Douxi Yolk Replenishing Eggshell Soap.

Human Nature 100% Natural Coffee Body Scrub Review

  • work really well and do what they promise;
  • can be bought online and delivered to customers anywhere in Malaysia; and

Gobdigoun Placenta Power Aging Corrector Review


The benefits of using eye cream can't really be understated. Your skin starts to degenerate at age 25 whether you like it or not, and there is no time like the present to prepare. Think about the skin surrounding your eye area. It’s pretty much the most delicate dermis on your face and body. So it only makes sense to show it a little love and extra care with an eye cream.

Continue from previous post, this time, I am going to review about the second hot selling product from Gobdigoun — Placenta Power Aging Corrector.

Beauty Review: Caudalíe Deep Cleansing Exfoliator

Nicole Cynnie | Caudalíe Deep Cleansing Exfoliator (Review)

No matter what skin type (dry, normal, oily or sensitive skin) you have, exfoliation can bring new life to your complexion. Regular skin cleansing is clearly beneficial, but with additional of exfoliating on a regular basis can improve the results of your skin care routine and help rejuvenate your skin. 

I was looking for a gentle exfoliator during my last visit to Sephora. and the beauty consultant recommended me a few brands. I picked up Caudalie Deep Cleansing Exfoliator amongst the other brands for one reason - it was the cheapest. (less than MYR100)

Beauty Review: Etude House Brush Shower Cleaner | How I Cleanse My Makeup Brushes

Nicole Cynnie | Etude House Brush Shower Cleaner (Review)

Hello there ♥ not washing your makeup brushes is like the equivalent of not washing your face. 

I received a 50ml makeup brush cleanser (a free gift) from Etude House last year. I am not gonna lie, this is, *hands down* by far the best free gift I ever received from cosmetic stores. I usually clean my makeup brushes with dishwashing soap and olive oil before I even knew there was a makeup brush cleaner product in the market. I professed my love for this makeup brush cleanser. 

Beauty Review: NutraChoice CollASTA Jelly (Giveaway)

NutraChoice CollASTA Jelly (Review & Giveaway)

Hi guys ♥ 

I've seen a few Hong Kong YouTubers shared their love for jelly snacks that made out of collagen. I went thru most pharmacy outlet in Malaysia looking for one, but I found none. Surprisingly, NutraChoice sent me a month supply of collagen jelly last month! Let me share with you my recent favourite snack, NutraChoice CollASTA Jelly. 

Beauty Review: Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleansing Cloths

I have combination of oily and dry skin, so shine just 5 hours after my morning skin care routine is nothing new. This is a recurring problem as I had it last year when I was an intern and its happening now when I go to class.  It makes me feel dirty and uncomfortable and Ive been looking all over for a product that can help me get rid of it without having to carry my cleanser around.



Ive used several cleaning cloths so far, but wasn’t really able to find one I really liked. So I was quite happy when I was provided with Cetaphil’s latest product, Gentle Skin Cleansing Cloths.


The Cetaphil Cloths come in a packet of 25, each cloth measuring 12cm x 20cm. I usually tear the cloth into half, using both sides to cover my entire face. Yes, Im a  cheapskate like that.

What I like about the packaging is that it comes with a solid lid and an adhesive lid. So say good bye to worrying about the adhesive lid losing its stickiness and making your cloths dry.

Its tiny size makes it very travel-friendly and convenient for use in vacations, sports, college, work and even at home. Simply put, its perfect for when you are on-the-go!


Here's what the soft and gentle microfibre Cloth looks like.

The Cloth is very soft and gentle, and left my skin feeling fresh and clean. Why do I call it gentle you ask? Because it contains a mild, soap-free formula which didnt strip my skin of its natural protective oils that’s why. One other thing that I really liked was that it left my skin really moisturised.

Like with any other cleansing cloth, you don’t need to rinse your face after using Cetaphil’s Cloths. I also noticed that there is no slippery feeling when I shower after using the Cloths, an issue I had with some of the previous wipes.


So to sum up, I really do like this product because its (1) mild on my skin (2) perfect for when you’re on the go and (3) it removes my midday shine!

Beauty Review : FINE Hyaluron & Collagen

I've always believe that the beauty on the outside always come from the inside. Other than daily skincare routine, our inner health is important for beauty skin too. Collagen drink is quite popular nowadays, and I know many of you have heard how good a collagen can help with your skin. 

I've taken FINE Hyaluronic & Collagen drink for almost 3 months now, and believe me, I've never regretted having this every morning.

What is FINE Hyaluronic & Collagen? It is a complete beauty formula in fine powder form. I was told that collagen in powder form absorbed greater in our body than those in bottles.

The main ingredients of FINE Hyaluron & Collagen are
  • Collagen (5250mg) - Restores youthfulness
  • Hyaluronic Acid (60mg) - Excellent moisturizing agent
  • Biotin (45ug) - Keeps hair and nails healthy
  • Ascorbic Acid (100mg) - Keeps skin healthy 
  • Elastin (15mg) - Improves elasticity
  • Pearl Coix Extract (450mg) - Removes spots and hyper-pigmentation

What I like about this collagen is, it contains Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) in it. Why? Because Vit C helps better collagen absorption in our body. The collagen would be a waste if our body has not enough Vit C, they work together in our body. It it good to take it with beverage that is high in Vit C.


Like I said, I've been drinking FINE Hyaluron & Collagen for 3 months now, and I see improvement on my skin condition. My skin is more supple and watery, and the elasticity of skin gets better. Even my boyfriend said my skin looks better than before. and I feel that my skin is more vitalized.

and the most obvious improvement I've seen is the glow. I don't usually see my skin glow even after applying BB cream, but my mom been asking what did I do to my skin that it looks so glow-wy. I told her that I did makeup, but I know it was because I've been drinking collagen.

so what is the suggested intake?

Nicole Cynnie | FINE Hyaluron & Collagen

take one spoonful (7g) of collagen powder into your desired drink, coffee, tea, soy milk, chocolate or even fruit juice (if you like fruit milkshake) every morning. and yes, it could mix with cold, warm and even hot water. How awesome is that? I usually take soluble Vit C supplement twice a week to helps better collagen absorption in my body.

Note: If you're a vegetarian, this is not suitable for you. The collagen is made out of fish collagen peptide.

Tho my hormanal acne (that comes before my menstrual, every month!!) so I will have some red dots here and there, but look at my skin texture, it's a lot more smooth and radiant. 

What I do not like about this collagen drink?
It is not travel-friendly. I hope they have sachet size tho, so I can just grab a few sachet in my handbag and just go when I'm on a vacay. I usually take my breakfast outside, so it is a hassle to make a drink when I'm rushing. Not sure if they have the sachet size, but I have not seen one yet. 


Good news!
