PRODUCT REVIEW: VMV HYPOALLERGENIC'S SKIN CARE FOR COMBINATION SKIN

Hello everyone! If you read in my blog lately, you will know that I tried the VMV's Surf and Turf Facial. I was offered a 30% discount after my facial for their skin care set. Remember, it is optional. You have the right to buy or not. In my case, I loved the products that was used during my facial and their set of skin care is much more affordable compared to the routine that I usually use. 

The skin care for Combination Skin is the Hydra Balance which is designed for a gentle and moisture-balancing for the skin. 

This set cost me around 1700php with the 30% discount included. Their skin care set is in big sizes so this will last me for a long time. My estimate is at least three months or more. 

It includes 3 steps starting with cleansing, toning and ends with moisturizing. You can use a sunblock or other skin care routing after the step 3 process. 

STEP 1: CLEANSING WITH HYDRA BALANCE GENTLE CREAM CLEANSER


There are two kinds of cleansers you can use for combination skin, my first choice is the Cleansing Scrub. Unfortunately, during the time that I bought it, it is out of stock so I settled for the Gentle Cleanser instead. 

Type: Hydra Balance Gentle Cream Cleanser for combination skin

Weight: 120ml

Product Description: 


Precautions and Ingredients: 


How To Use:


Pros: 

The cleanser is mild, fragrance-free and gentle to my skin. It reminded me of a Cetaphil cleanser but this is much creamier. 

My skin felt clean, soft and smooth as well as it maintained the moisture on my skin. I can use it twice a day and still maintain the moisture on my skin.

The cleanser is sealed and the manufacturing date is written on the tube. The recommended use shell life of this cleanser is 12 months from the start of opening it. 


Cons: 

The cleanser does not produce suds but it still makes the skin clean. It is just sometimes I feel like more cleaner if the cleanser that I use forms suds. Its just a psychological thinking in my part. 

SWATCH:


Buy again? 100% (But I would like to try the scrub next time)

Overall Rating: 5/5

Price: 730php


STEP 2: APPLICATION OF TONER WITH SUPERSKIN 3 MONOLAURIN + MANDELIC ACID TONER


If you can observe, the toner prescribed to me is for oily skin. In terms of toner, both oily and combination skin can use both toners alternatively. It has the same firming, mattifying, deep-cleaning and acne-managing properties. However, with the oily skin toner,it has an additional brightening therapy which I like. 

Type: Superskin 3 Monolaurin + Mandelic Acid Toner

Weight: 150ml

Product Description: 


Precautions and Ingredients:



How To Use:



Pros:

One of the things that I appreciated by VMV skin Care Consultants, they taught me on how to use the toner right. It should be in a dabbing motion instead of wiping it into the skin. Also, you should let your skin adjust to it first by using is at least twice a week then continue introducing it into your skin. They included an instruction of it inside my kit. 
Its main ingredient is Monolaurin that fights skin infections. It is an effective broad-spectrum fighting agent that fights common bacteria found on skin. 

The other ingredient, Mandelic Acid, is great to be used for skin care because it is an acid that is gentle to the skin. It addresses in helping skin fight acne as well as hyperpigmentation. It also can exfoliate the skin. Since it gently exfoliates the skin too, I suggest that you use sunblock when you go outside. 

The toner stings a little on my pimples but disappears quickly. My pimples dried more quickly. I did not experience any break-outs while using this toner. In fact, when I continued using it, it decreases the chance of my skin in producing more pimples. 

The manufacturing date and expiration date is indicated on the tube. The suggested shell life for this toner is up to 24 months after opening. Cool, right?


Cons:

Just like any other toners, the scent is a little strong.

STEP 3: MOISTURIZE WITH HYDRA BALANCE SMART MOISTURIZER


Moisturizers are needed to make our skin healthy and in our hot weather, we usually skip it. In this set though, this is my favorite part. Find out why by further reading my review. 

Type: Hydra Balance Smart Moisturizer

Weight: 120ml

Product Description: 


Precautions and Ingredients:



How To Use:


Pros: 

The moisturizer is a little watery but easy to spread on my skin. One to two pea-size drop is enough to lather on my whole face and neck. However, I think this tube will be empty before the toner and cleanser because of its consistency. 

The moisturizer does not make me feel oily. It can also be absorbed by the skin quickly. That is what I always look for in a moisturizer because in our weather, I tend to skip using one just to avoid my skin in feeling greasy. 

It can moisturize well because until I wake up the next day, my skin still feels hydrated. Plus, my skin looked healthier and brighter after a night of use. 

The scent of the moisturizer is light. No breakouts noted in my experience. 

The manufacturing date and expiration date is indicated on the tube. The suggested shell life is 12 months after opening. The tube is tightly sealed too when I purchased it. 



Cons: 

Since the consistency is too watery, the tube may last for one to two months only.

Buy again? 100%

Overall Rating: 5/5

Price: 860php


Overall, I love my experience with VMV both the facial and their skin care. It is an affordable skin care routine that I can maintain using. It is easy to use, gentle to skin and effective. 

If it is your first time, do not hesitate to have your skin checked by their consultants on what skin care is best for your condition. 

The total of this set is 2,390ph. If you have your facial done by them, you can get it with 25-30% discount that is why I get it for around 1,700php.
