Effaclar Duo [+] SPF30

Tole je verjetno najbolj zanimiv in težko pričakovan izdelek. Že dolgo govorim o Effaclar Duo [+] kremi, saj mojo kožo vedno zelo dobro očisti nepravilnosti in mi je zelo všeč. Lani je LRP lansiral še obarvano kremo (Unifiant), za poletje pa so letos dodali še kremo z SPF30, kar je super saj je zaščita kože pred soncem zelo pomembna. Kakor celotna linija Effaclar Duo [+] krem, tudi ta vsebuje aktivne sestavine (Salicilna kislina) proti nepravilnostim. 

V primerjavi z original različico Effaclar Duo [+], ki ima zelo lahkotno teksturo, pa ima nova verjetno zaradi SPF30 gostejšo teksturo in je precej podobna klasični kremi za zaščito obraza pred soncem. Tole me je sicer malce zmotilo, vendar je ob nanosu na obraz druga zgodba. Kremo sama lepo razmažem, da jo dobro vtrem v kožo, nato pa počakam 10 minut da se vpije. Za tem obraz ni masten in brez problema nanesem tekočo podlago. Dobro se obnese na soncu saj kožo zaščiti. Uporabljala pa sem jo tudi na morju. Sicer si želim, da bi bila tekstura lažja, vendar mi vseeno ustreza in ne zamaši por. Pa vendar jo je najprej dobro preizkusit, saj morda ni za vsakogar.

Sicer LRP pravi, da to ni izdelek za zaščito pred soncem, vendar se meni ne zdi napačno, če ga uporabljam tako, v zmerni količini.

LRP added an exciting product to their existing DUO [+] creams. which has and SPF 30 - perfect for summer. This one as well contains Salicylic acid which clears up imperfections.

I liked the light texture of Effaclar Duo [+], however the SPF30 one has a thicker texture, similar to sun creams. It's not my favourite, however it performs nicely on my skin. I spread it nicely on the skin, making it sure it sinks in well and wait for about 10 minutes. Afterwards my skin is not sticky or greasy and I have no problem applying foundation on top of it. Plus it really does protect my face from the sun.

This cream might not be for everyone: it just depends on how you and your skin like the different texture. However it did not clog my pores.

LRP says that this is not a product for sun protection, however I still like using it instead of other sun creams for the face.

Novo micelarno vodo sem testirala že pred nekaj časa, vendar tisto za občutljivo kožo (objavo najdeš tukaj). Effaclar micelarna voda pa je namenjena predvsem mastni (občutljivi) koži, kakršno imam tudi sama. Gre za klasično tekočino z nežnim vonjem, ki pa res učinkovito odstrani ličila. Zelo dobro odstrani tudi nadležno maskaro ter ne draži oči. Na koži pa sicer nisem opazila razlike med to in micelarno vodo za občutljivo kožo.

I've tested the new edition of LRP Micellar water before (you can find a review here): for sensitive skin, however this time I tested the one for oily (and sensitive) skin - my type. It's a classic water with a gentle smell and it's very effective at removing my makeup. Mascara is removed with almost no effort and it's not irritating my eyes. However I did not notice any difference between this one and the one in white packaging - for sensitive skin.

Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel

Peneč, čistilni gel je dobil novo podobo oz. modro prozorno embalažo. Izdelek pa je po teksturi ostal enak ter je še zelo prijeten. Gost gel se zelo lepo speni in je za nanos potrebna le manjša količina. Zelo dobro očisti ostanke ličil, vendar kože pri tem ne izsuši. Namenjen pa je seveda bolj mastni koži. Všeč mi je tudi embalaža saj ima zelo majhno luknjico za doziranje, tako da se izdelek na zliva ven.

Another product I've tried before. However this time they've revamped it into a clear/blue package. It's a liquid gel type of product which foams up very nicely, using just a small amount. It cleanses deeply, removing the remaining makeup, without drying out my skin (i don't know how it performs on drier skin - though it's meant for oily skin). Another plus gets the packaging which has a tiny hole on the top, so the product doesn't spill. 

Prvi korak k dobro negovani koži je seveda čiščenje. Dobro očiščena koža bo boljše sprejela aktivne ter hranljive sestavine, kar pa pripomore tudi k lepi podlagi za ličenje. Kadar nosim ličila, jih sama vedno najprej odstranim z micelarno vodo. Pri čemer mi je bila Uriage micelarna voda všeč saj je lepo odstranila ličila. Nekatere trmaste maskare je sicer težje odstranila, načeloma pa je bila nežna do kože ter kar dobra. Ker sem imela majhno embalažo, sem jo seveda že porabila.

First step to good looking skin is cleansing. You need to always make sure to deep cleanse the pores, so the active ingredients from creams can really work and do their job. My preferred type of product for removing makeup is with micellar waters. In this case Uriage micellar water did the job fine, while not removing some of my stubborn mascaras. It was gentle to me. And of course I've already used up this smaller version.

Naslednji korak je drugo, globinsko čiščenje. Pri čemer trenutno uporabljam Uriage peno za čiščenje. To pa uporabim v kombinaciji plastične gobice ali ščetke za čiščenje obraza, da odstranim še odvečna ličila ter res globinsko očistim pore. Ob iztisku je pena precej gosta, kremasta ter koži daje prijeten občutek in je ne izsuši. Uporabljam jo zvečer in zjutraj, ter mi daje osvežilen občutek.

Second step is second cleansing. In which case you can use a gel, foam or creamy cleanser to remove all the remaining makeup and deeply cleanse the skin. Currently I use this Uriage foaming cleanser in combination with a plastic sponge or actual electric brush to really deeply cleanse the pores. It makes such a difference. The foam is nicely creamy and thick, plus it makes your skin feel nice and not dried out. I use it at night and in the morning and it leaves skin refreshed.

Sama linija sicer ne vsebuje tonika, vendar lahko tudi termalna voda v spreju deluje kot priprava kože na nadaljno nego. Pri čemer takšno vodo popršim na obraz ali gobico. Še najraje pa jo uporabljam tudi po uporabi različnih mask za obraz ali pilinga, saj kožo lepo pomiri ter daje občutek vlage. Super je tudi za osvežitev poleti.

Normally after all this cleansing I would use a toner, however this line doesn't have one. In this case it can be replaced with an actual thermal water in spray. I spray it onto the face or cotton pad. It soothes the skin and feels refreshing. I also love using it after a face mask or a scrub to sooth my skin and re-hydrate. Also it is lovely to use in hot summer days.

Sledi serum za obraz kateri me je najbolj navdušil. Je zelo lahkoten, skoraj prosojen in se takoj vpije v kožo. Takšni serumi so moji najljubši ter jih sama rada uporabljam tudi kot dnevno nego. Ta serum ima sicer kot osnovno sestavino tudi hialuronsko kislino, pri čemer je dobro, da nato uporabimo še drugo nego, da se vlaga "zaklene" v kožo. Skratka serum pusti zelo prijeten, vlažilen občutek brez mastnega občutka ali sijaja ter pusti takojšen občutek hidracije. Serum je dobra rešitev, če je koža precej suha, saj lahko tako slojimo kreme. Prav tako pa prodre globlje v kožo in vsebuje več aktivnih sestavin.

Next up is serum which amazed me immediately. Drugstore serums sometimes can be still on thicker side, however this one is so liquidy, it feels like putting water and lots of moisture into the skin. I love that it sinks into my skin immediately without leaving any greasy feeling or residue. Also it doesn't makes my face shiny, which I love and that's why I would also use it on daily basis. Because it contains hyaluronic acid, a good thing would be to put a cream on top to lock in the moisture. If you have drier skin I would also recommend layering your daily cream with serums as you can get more moisture, plus serums have more active ingredients and are really good for your skin.

Kot končni korak pa uporabim še Uriage lahko kremo za obraz, katera vsebuje SPF20. Tudi ta je zelo lahke teksture, vendar malce težja kot serum. Primerna je tudi za mešano kožo, ker je ne zmasti in doda dovolj hidracije. Za nočno nego pa bi verjetno potrebovala bogato kremo za obraz iz Eau Thermale linije, ker se sliši bolj hranilno.

The final product is always a face cream. Uriage offers two creams: this one and rich water cream. I opted for light one because I have oilier skin and of course it sinks into my skin quicker without leaving any greasy feeling. However for night time I would maybe need a richer cream to provide more moisture.

Vsi izdelki imajo prijeten svež vonj, ki sicer ni naraven vendar ni premočen. Ne vsebujejo parabenov ter so nežni do kože. Produkti se mi zdijo dobri za dehidrirano kožo, vendar sem za povrnitev vlage morala slojiti serum in kremico. Nego priporočam tako dehidrirani kot mešani do mastni koži saj so izdelki lahkotnih tekstur. Prav tako so primerni za občutljivo kožo.
Hkrati pa imam občutek, da izdelki niso za zelo suho kožo saj takšna koža morda potrebuje več masl ali hranljivih olj, ki jih v tej lahkotni liniji ni. Najbolj pa se veselim uporabe seruma tudi poleti, ko ne maram težkih krem.

Vse izdelke najdete v lekarnah in tudi drogerijah Müller ter na Mediforma.si

All of the products have the same gentle but fresh smell which is not natural but not overpowering. The products don't contain parabens and are gentle to the skin. To me they seem good for dehydrated skin, however to restore hydration I needed to layer serum and cream. I recommend the line for dehydrated or mixed/oily skin because all of the products are really light-weight. However a dry type of skin needs more good oils and butter for moisturization. 
All in all, I liked the products. I especially enjoy the serum.
