by - Saturday, August 23, 2014

Hello again! Now, I'm back with sponsored article by Cellnique products. It was quite an surprising moment when someday about a month ago, a person from their Marketing Department contacted me through e-mail. She asked me whether I would like to review their upcoming product named B.liv and I, of course, gladly accept their invitation. I was given a real size product of B.liv: off with those heads, specially made to sweep out the stubborn heads on our beauty face. The product itself comes from Malaysia and has been penetrated their market to Singapore, Hong Kong, China, and soon to Indonesia.



Before we go to review it, let me first introduce you the brand story of B.liv.

Creator of “paramedical” branch of skin care, Cellnique has been the leading paramedical brand in professional skincare industry for over fifteen years. Cellnique has intensively focused on providing the best available skincare solutions- namely, its well-known 9x9 skin care matrix – through professional consultation with skin care centre.
In order to extend its solutions to the younger generation, Cellnique decided to bring its effective and proven salon formulations out from a closed environment to retail specialty stores. In 2006, Cellnique introduced the world’s first beauty-salon-formulated blackhead and whitehead remover gel, off with those heads, under the new skin care line, b.liv to the mass market. Though intended for younger, on-the-go consumers, b.liv has the impeccable pedigree of being the creation of Asia’s most effective paramedical salon brand, Cellnique.



B.liv seeks to inspire the youth of today to believe in themselves; that they can make a difference not only in the care of their skin but also the world they live in. After all, this generation will decide the fate of mankind and the planet we call home.
B.liv is also about confidence- hence, the name “b.liv” is not just a contraction of the word “believe”, but also of the words “be” and “live”. This constitutes a life-affirming motto which exhorts consumers to “live for the moment” and seize the day. More than just a skincare brand, b.liv is a vibrant philosophy that both the target market and its creator strongly share.

 Well, above are the statement of the product, then how about the real experience on my face? As directed on the packaging, I follow to squeeze a pea-size of the gel and applied it onto my nose. 


The first sensation that came out was a mint-cool feeling on my nose. Yeah, because apparently the product contains menthol and peppermint oil, as stated on the ingredients.

This was my nose before applying the b.liv gel (sorry for the blur result as my front camera doesn't give the best result):


Ignore the picture, I will explain my nose condition at that time. Practically I hate my nose appearance that not far different looks like strawberry skin. Heads anywhere! Sometime my fingers get so itchy to scratch and clean the heads off my nose. Really!

After 2 weeks of b.liv application, a slight change happened to my nose. The heads are reducing yet the large pores. Anytime I scratch my finger onto my nose, I don't feel the rough sensation anymore. The excessive oils that always come, also reduced as well. Here is my current nose after a routine application:


Please ignore the reddish dot, my acne was just broken when I want to take the picture. Thanks to my boyfie who took this picture for me since I really can't rely on my bad front camera. As you might can't see a clear different result, I stated clearly here that I do feel the difference as well

To sum-up my experience:
Pros:
+ pump bottle
+ water based products
+ contains of natural main ingredients
+ good oil control
+ works good on my nose

Cons:
- for retail price might be quite expensive for some people
