VICHY SKINCARE – BI-WHITE REVEAL SPOT INTERVENTION PREVIEW AT ONCE UPON A MILKSHAKE

Vichy BI-White Reveal Deep Cell-Whitening Spot Intervention is the latest addition to the highly popular Vichy Bi-White Reveal Skincare range, Singapore No. 1 Whitening Derma brand. Vichy Bi-White Spot Intervention targets all dark spots, acne marks, freckles, age spots, sun spots, hand spots and brown spots, even the most stubborn ones, leaving skin visibly fairer, more unified and healthier.

    

At Vichy Bi-White Spot Intervention Preview, guest speaker Dr. Jonathan Lee, a Consultant Surgeon and  owner of Aesthetics & Rejuvenative Medicine gave us an overall view on pigmentation including causes, prevention and treatments available.

Pigmentation is one of the most common signs of aging. Repeated exposure to UV and pollutants to the skin can cause the appearance of dark spots not only on the face but also on other sun exposed areas like the neck and hands. In addition, ageing is linked with skin darkening and an intensification of its yellow colour for Asian women. Other causes include post acne, chemical treatments, drugs, heredity, stress and pregnancy.

To prevent and treat spots, one have to identify the type of pigmentation to ensure effective use of products with ingredients like retinoids, LHA, arbutin, glycolic acid, ascorbic acid and kojic acid to name a few. 

With the growing concern of dark spots, colour imperfections, skin blemishes and marks among Asian women, Vichy announced the latest addition to its popular Bi-White Reveal range with Deep Cell-Whitening Spot Intervention to prevent and reduce all types of types. With clinically proven efficacy and suitable even for sensitive skin, Vichy Spot Intervention is made in a high skin-respect formula to reduce pigment from spots including

• Sun Spots
  
• Freckles or Ephelides
  
• Melasma
  
• Age Spots
  
• Hand Spots
  
• Acne Marks
  
• Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation
  
• Drug-induced hyperpigmentation

VICHY BI-WHITE REVEAL SPOT INTERVENTION

Formulated with Vitamin Cg, 5 times more LHA and 2 times more Ceramide white™  than that of Bi-White essence, Spot Intervention has been tested under dermatological control on Asian Sensitive skin to locally reduce dark spots on hands and face, decreasing intensity of shade and preventing the production of melanin at the source by inhibiting the enzyme.

 
KEY Ingredients

• LHA - Salicylic acid exfoliates pigmentation on skin surface and accelerates cell renewal
• Ceramide white™ - Reduction of melanin, Ceramide 5 is exclusively synthesized and patented by L’Oreal
• Vitamin Cg - Double whitening effect as it reduces melanogenesis and prevents  UV-induced pigmentation providing all day protection.

VICHY Bi-White Reveal Skincare range for a brighter luminous skin include

• Deep Cleansing Foam
  
• Whitening Lotion
  
• Anti-Dark Circle Whitening Corrective Eye Care
  
• Deep-Cell Whitening Spot Intervention 
  
• Whitening Essence
  
• Whitening Emulsion
  
• Whitening Day Cream SPF20
  
• Whitening Night Cream

The presentation ended with a Hands on session on how to make a Cranberries and Vanilla milkshake for antioxidant boost.

VICHY Bi-White Reveal Deep Cell-Whitening Spot Intervention retails at S$59 (15ml) available at VICHY counters in selected Watsons, Guardian, Unity and Hospital pharmacies.

• Pure Beauty Youth Restore Day Cream with Black Pearl 60ml S$18.90
  
• Pure Beauty Youth Restore Night Cream with Black Pearl 60ml S$18.90

I tried the whole regimen and love the light refreshing scent. I also like the clean sleek black luxe design. My favourite products are Youth Restore Toner and Essence as they are very light in texture and are absorbed into my skin very quickly, hydrating my skin instantly with a radiant glow.

Pure Beauty Youth Restore Cleansing Foam cleanses well without stripping the skin of its moisture. Squeeze about the size of 10 cent coin of cleansing foam and lathers.  Massage onto face in circular movement and rinse thoroughly with warm water. It removes all my makeup easily.

Pure Beauty Youth Restore Toner with Black Pearl have a very refreshing scent. The texture is rather fluid compared to other brands of toners as its made of deep sea water from Kona, Hawaii.The nano-technology used ensure quick hydration.

I like the sturdy pump bottle as it controls the amount that toner dispensed. 3 pump is all you need to prep your skin for treatment.

 

Pure Beauty Youth Restore Eye Cream with Black Pearl hydrates my eye area and Syn-Coll, the unique collagen booster helps in firming skin and stem cell activator in skin renewal. Very affordable eye cream at only S$21.90 for 15ml.

Pure Beauty Youth Restore Essence with Black Pearl contains a high percentage of syn-coll, the collagen booster, Stem cell activator and Tahitian Black Pearl to plump up skin, firm and diminish fine lines. I love the light texture and that it absorbed quickly, hydrating my skin instantly. My face looked more radiant after application. Another favourite !

Pure Beauty Youth Restore Day Cream with Black Pearl is rather thick in texture. I feel its quite rich for my skin as its cream so i used a tiny bit each time and it keeps my skin smooth and hydrated. The day cream is also formulated with Stem cell activator and Syn-Coll for firmer skin and protects the skin from environmental damages.

Pure Beauty Youth Restore Night Cream with Black Pearl hydrates my skin. It is equally thick in texture and takes longer to absorb as it is cream based. Personally, i feel the creams might be more suitable for normal to dry skin or someone who sleeps in an air-conditioned room. The night cream is formulated to boost collagen and skin renewal overnight so you will wake up to hydrated radiant skin.

PURE BEAUTY youth restore black pearl anti-aging skincare are available at all WATSONS island wide.
