About the Brand
No Water Concept 

The main concept of Langsre is "no water concept", it means it does not use purified water. To replace water that does not provide additional benefits to the skin in other than as solvent, Langsre products use the natural extract as the main ingredients, which makes the product far more effective, also beneficial for the skin (antioxidants, nutrients, vitamins, minerals).

Konsep utama dari brand Langsre yaitu “no water concept” adalah tidak menggunakan purified water. Untuk menggantikan air yang tidak memberikan manfaat banyak pada kulit selain untuk melarutkan formulasi, produk Langsre menggunakan bahan utama ekstrak natural yang menjadikan produk jauh lebih efektif pada kulit. Air yang berfungsi hanya untuk melarutkan formula, diganti dengan ekstrak natural yang selain bisa melarutkan formula (menggantikan fungsi air), juga bermanfaat untuk kulit (antioksidan, nutrisi, vitamin, mineral).

Disclaimer: This post is part of the Langsre sponsored program. Products provided for review purpose. I received compensation as a thank you for my participation. However all my opinion based on my experience and were not influenced by the brand.

After quite satisfied with the two previous Langsre products, Very Berry 40 3-in-1 Sun BB SPF 50 + / PA ++ and Amittie Natural Oil to Foam Cleanser, I want to try two other best-seller products, Aqua Hydrating Power Cream and Peach Whitening Power Cream. Ah before that, Langsre products was manufactured by Rebom Cosmetics (a factory with Somebymi, iFactory, W.Lab, Aprilskin, etc.) and imported from Korea, all products also had BPOM marketing authorization, and were officially distributed and sold in Indonesia.

Well, as a fan of moisturizers with creamy and rich textures. Initially, I thought I'd prefer Peach Whitening Power Cream. But it turns out that... keep reading to find out which one is my favorite!

Setelah cukup puas dengan dua produk Langsre sebelumnya, yaitu Very Berry 40 3-in-1 Sun BB SPF 50+/PA++ dan Amittie Natural Oil to Foam Cleanser, saya ingin mencoba dua produk best seller lainnya yaitu Aqua Hydrating Power Cream dan Peach Whitening Power Cream. Oiya sebelumnya, produk Langsre ini diproduksi oleh Rebom Cosmetics (satu pabrik dengan Somebymi, iFactory, W.Lab, Aprilskin, dll) dan diimpor dari Korea, semua produk juga telah memiliki izin edar BPOM, dan telah resmi di distribusikan dan dijual di Indonesia. 

Nah, sebagai penggemar pelembab yang teksturnya creamy dan rich. Awalnya, saya kira bakal lebih suka Peach Whitening Power Cream. Tetapi ternyata... simak terus review-nya untuk tahu mana yang jadi favorit saya!

What the benefits of Sea Water for skin?
  • Langsre Aqua Hydrating Power Cream contains of Sea Water 75%. From the deep sea water of Ulleungdo, below 900 meters of ocean floor seabed. 
  • Deep sea water (DSW) commonly refers to a body of seawater that is pumped up from a depth of over 200 m. It is usually associated with the following characteristics: low temperature, high purity, and being rich with nutrients, namely, beneficial elements, which include magnesium, calcium, potassium, chromium, selenium, zinc, and vanadium. Less photosynthesis of plant planktons, consumption of nutrients, and organic decomposition have caused lots of nutrients to remain there. (ncbi) 
  • The magnesium in seawater may also help hydrate and improve the appearance of your skin. According to a study in the February 2005 edition of the “International Journal of Dermatology,” bathing in a magnesium-rich Dead Sea salt solution helps promote skin moisture. 
  • People with atopic dry skin, or dryness on the skin’s surface, submerged one forearm for 15 minutes in a bath solution containing 5 percent Dead Sea salt and the other forearm in regular tap water. 
  • Researchers discovered that the salt solution improved skin hydration and significantly reduced skin inflammation symptoms such as redness and roughness when compared to tap water. Observed skin benefits were attributed to the high magnesium content of the Dead Sea salt. (livestrong)

Apa manfaat Air Laut untuk kulit?
  • Langsre Aqua Hydrating Power Cream mengandung 75% Air Laut. Dari air laut dalam Ulleungdo, dasar laut di bawah 900 meter. Air laut dalam (DSW) biasanya disebut sebagai bagian air laut yang dipompa dari kedalaman lebih dari 200 m. Ciri-cirinya adalah suhu rendah, kemurnian tinggi, dan kaya nutrisi, yaitu, elemen meliputi magnesium, kalsium, kalium, kromium, selenium, seng, dan vanadium. Kurangnya fotosintesis plankton tanaman, konsumsi nutrisi, dan penguraian organik telah menyebabkan banyak nutrisi tetap di sana. (ncbi) 
  • Magnesium dalam air laut juga dapat membantu melembabkan dan meningkatkan hidrasi kulit. Menurut penelitian dalam edisi Februari 2005 "International Journal of Dermatology," mandi dengan garam Laut Mati yang kaya aka magnesium Laut Mati membantu meningkatkan kelembaban kulit. 
  • Orang dengan kulit kering atopik, atau kekeringan pada permukaan kulit merendam lengannya pada garam Laut Mati dan lengan lainnya dalam air keran biasa. Hidrasi kulit dan gejala peradangan kulit berkurang secara signifikan seperti kemerahan dan kekasaran bila dibandingkan dengan air keran. Ditemukan berbagai manfaat kulit yang dikaitkan dengan kandungan magnesium yang tinggi pada garam Laut Mati. (livestrong)

Ingredient list. kiri: Peach Whitening Power Cream; kanan: Aqua Hydrating Power Cream
The Langsre Aqua Hydrating Power Cream product box has blue nuances, while the Peach Whitening Power cream has pink accent. The information on the box is dominated by Korean, fortunately because it already has BPOM, there are ingredients stickers in Indonesian. The spatula was sticked with tape on the outside of the box. The box is also securely sealed. Don't forget to check the undamaged seal before buying.

Kotak produk Langsre Aqua Hydrating Power Cream bernuansa biru, sedangkan Peach Whitening Power cream berwarna merah muda (pink). Keterangan pada kotaknya didominasi dengan bahasa Korea, untungnya karena sudah ber-BPOM, ada stiker ingredients dalam bahasa Indonesia. Spatula di tempel dengan selotip pada luar kotak. Oiya, kotaknya juga bersegel untuk menghindari tangan-tangan jahil. Jangan lupa untuk cek keutuhan segel sebelum membeli ya.


For the packaging of the two moisturizers, both use a jar. Packaging material was from transparent plastic with blue tint for Aqua Hydrating Power Cream and pink tint for Peach Whitening Power Cream. I like it because it can be differentiated from the color so I won't be confused.

Actually I don't like products that comes in jar, I don't think it's hygienic because I have to dip in my dirty fingers all the time. Apparently, these two moisturizers are equipped with a spatula! So there's no need to worry about hygiene issues. But the spatula cannot be inserted inside, as there is no space in the inner lid, I have tried to force it in but the lid becomes less tight. So, it's a pity to store it outside as it will quickly disappear, for I am a person who easily forgot where I put my things. Especially, small spatula. 

Untuk kemasan dari kedua pelembab ini sama-sama menggunakan jar. Bahannya dari plastik tranparan dengan tint biru untuk Aqua Hydrating Power Cream dan tint pink untuk Peach Whitening Power Cream. Saya suka karena dapat dibedakan menurut warna agar tidak tertukar. 

Sebenarnya saya kurang suka produk yang kemasannya dalam jar, kebayang kan gak higienis karena harus dicolek-colek terus. Ternyata, dua pelembab ini dilengkapi dengan spatula! Jadi tidak perlu khawatir lagi untuk masalah higienitas. Tetapi spatula nya tidak bisa dimasukkan ke dalam, karena tidak ada tempat spatula di inner lid nya, saya sudah coba paksain tapi tutupnya jadi kurang rapat. Jadi, sayang sekali kalau disimpan di luar bakal cepat hilang, apalagi seperti saya yang orangnya pelupa menaruh barang dimana. Apalagi spatula kecil.



The texture of Langsre Aqua Hydrating Power Cream is a cloud-ish white gel, but after it blends out, it becomes transparent. It gives cooling sensation that it feels refreshing to the skin, while also calming the skin. It absorbs fast. It also doesn't leave thin sticky layers on top of skin. I don't experience any negative effects, it also doesn't clog my pores. For the fragrance, people say it's like man's perfume. But I don't feel that way, the smell is like fresh water that is neither masculine nor feminine.

Last week I brought this moisturizer when I returned to my hometown in Palembang. The humidity level was high (up to 75%) there, so if you use moisturizer that is too thick, the skin will feel hard to 'breathe'. But this moisturizer is really lightweight, I like the cooling sensation the most, even though the weather was hot, but the cream lower my skin temperature when applied.

Tekstur dari Langsre Aqua Hydrating Power Cream ini gel berwarna putih keruh, namun setelah di-blend jadi transparan. Saat diaplikasikan, ada sensasi dingin yang terasa menyegarkan dan menenangkan kulit. Krim ini menyerap dengan cepat. Juga tidak meninggalkan lapisan lengket di atas kulit. Tidak ada efek negatif, juga tidak menyumbat pori-pori saya. Untuk wanginya, kata orang-orang seperti parfum cowok. Tapi aku gak ngerasa gitu ah, wanginya seperti air segar yang gak maskulin maupun feminine.

Minggu lalu saya membawa pelembab ini ketika saya pulang ke kampung halaman  di Palembang. Di sana tingkat kelembabannya tinggi (sampai 75%), jadi kalau pakai pelembab yang terlalu thick, kulit bakal kerasa gak bernapas. Tapi pelembab ini ringan banget, saya paling suka sensasi ademnya, walaupun di sana panas, tapi krimnya bikin adem saat diaplikasikan.

 Very Berry 40 Sun BB

I'm surprised that I enjoy this moisturizer so much, It has been decades since the last time I use gel type moisturizer. I don't particularly like them since it doesn't really hydrating for my skin type, but I rethink about it when I do the oil-moisture test. From the oil-moisture test, it turns out that it increases my hydration by 33% and reduce oil content by 26%. It means it's very hydrating and well-balanced!

Saya terkejut bahwa saya sangat menikmati pelembab ini, sudah lama sejak terakhir kali saya menggunakan pelembab jenis gel. Saya tidak terlalu suka mereka karena itu tidak benar-benar melembabkan untuk jenis kulit saya, tetapi saya berpikir ulang lagi ketika saya melakukan oil-moisture test. Dari uji kelembaban, ternyata hidrasi meningkat sebanyak 33% dan mengurangi kandungan minyak sebanyak 26%. Artinya sangat menghidrasi serta menyeimbangkan kadar minyak dan air kulit!

 ~
Langsre Peach Whitening Power Cream contains Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Extract 70%. Rice bran is the hard outer layer of the grain, often produced as a by-product of milling the grain for white rice. Rich in oil and essential fatty acids, rice bran extract is used in skincare for its skin soothing enzymes and antioxidant properties. In addition, it also consists of several natural extract as antioxidant, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil, vitamin C derivative Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate, Retinyl Palmitate (Vitamin A) and Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E).

Langsre Peach Whitening Power Cream mengandung ekstrak kulit Oryza Sativa (Beras) 70%. Kulit padi adalah lapisan luar yang keras dari bulir padi, sering diproduksi sebagai produk sampingan dari penggilingan bulir untuk nasi putih. Kaya akan minyak dan asam lemak esensial, ekstrak kulit padi digunakan dalam perawatan kulit karena sifatnya yang menenangkan dan antioksidan. Selain itu, ia juga terdiri dari beberapa ekstrak alami sebagai antioksidan, minyak kulit Oryza Sativa (Beras), turunan vitamin C Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate, derivat vitamin A Retinyl Palmitate  dan Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E).

Meanwhile, the texture of Peach Whitening Power Cream is white-ish cream that leaves whitecast when applied. However, when it is blended, the whitecast will disappear. The performance is similar to tone up cream, this moisturizer contains Titanium dioxide, but it is not explained how much the SPF, so you should still use sunscreen. Of course, it smells like peach. But the fragrance is not overpowering.

Because the texture is quite thick, I also use this moisturizer as a night cream. Usually at night, after got home from work/college, my skin is really dull, after using this moisturizer, it brighten my whole complexion. But I don't recommend it to use every night, because Titanium Dioxide can clog the pores.

Sementara, tekstur dari Peach Whitening Power Cream adalah krim warna putih yang meninggalkan whitecast saat di aplikasikan. Namun, ketika sudah di-blend, whitecast-nya lama-lama akan hilang. Performanya mirip seperti tone up cream,  pelembab ini mengandung Titanium Dioxide, tetapi tidak dijelaskan berapa SPF-nya jadi harus ditimpa dengan sunscreen kalau ingin dipakai sebagai krim pagi. Tentu saja wanginya seperti buah peach, manis sekali. Tapi baunya tidak overpowering kok.

Karena teksturnya lumayan thick, saya juga menggunakan pelembab ini sebagai krim malam. Yang biasanya saat malam hari, sehabis pulang kerja/kuliah kulit saya kusam banget menjadi cerah lagi setelah pakai pelembab ini. Tetapi saya tidak merekomendasikannya untuk dipakai setiap malam, karena Titanium Dioxide dapet menyumbat pori-pori.


From the oil-moisture test, it showed that there was an increase of 25% hydration and 26% decrease in oil content. This means that this moisturizer is very hydrating and does not make it oily! (Note that this test is done as soon as it is applied)

Although from the results it can be concluded that the hydration power is below Aqua Hydrating Power Cream, but I feel my skin is much softer, supple and glowing after using Peach Whitening Power Cream! Maybe because my skin type needs a moisturizer that has thick texture. In the morning I also felt there was still a slippery 'layer' when washing my face.

Dari oil-moisture test, menunjukkan kalau ada peningkatan hidrasi sebanyak 25% dan penurunan oil content sebanyak 26%. Artinya pelembab ini sangat menghidrasi dan tidak bikin berminyak! (Perlu diketahui bahwa tes ini dilakukan segera setelah diaplikasikan)

Meskipun dari hasil bisa disimpulkan bahwa daya hidrasinya dibawah Aqua Hydrating Power Cream, tetapi saya merasa kulit saya jauh lebih lembut, kenyal dan glowing setelah memakai Peach Whitening Power Cream! Mungkin karena memang tipe kulit saya butuh pelembab yang teksturnya cenderung thick. Saat pagi hari saya juga merasa masih ada 'lapisan' yang licin saat mencuci muka. 


CONCLUSION
Aqua Hydrating Power Cream and Peach Whitening are equally good, which is important to choose according to each skin type. For combination skin types like mine, Peach Cream is more suitable. Meanwhile, for those who have oily skin, they will definitely prefer Aqua Cream. So, which is my favorite? A difficult choice but it seems like I choose Peach Whitening Cream, because it makes my skin brighter, softer and supple all day. Well, which team are you? #AquaTeam or #PeachTeam?

Aqua Hydrating Power Cream dan Peach Whitening sama-sama bagus, yang penting disesuaikan dengan tipe kulit masing-masing. Untuk tipe kulit kombinasi seperti saya, cocok dengan Peach Cream. Sedangkan, untuk yang memiliki kulit berminyak pasti akan lebih menyukai Aqua Cream. Jadi, favorit saya yang mana? Pilihan yang sulit tetapi sepertinya saya pilih Peach Whitening Cream, karena membuat kulit saya lebih cerah, lembut dan kenyal seharian. Nah, kalau kalian tim mana? #AquaTeam atau #PeachTeam?

Cheers,

Whereas Centella Asiatica was the ingredient that getting highlight last year, because of its anti-aging property, it strengthens the skin barrier, calming and soothing the skin.

Finish-nya tidak lengket, cepat menyerap dan konsistensinya sedikit kental dengan aroma sitrus dari Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil. Saya suka teksturnya yang ringan, membuat saya ingin memakainya setiap hari. Tidak ada efek negatif apa pun. 


Usually, I apply 3-4 drops directly to my face and neck, then tapping it until it absorbs. My skin feels supple and hydrate. I love mixing it with other products, named it toners, essence and moisturizer for hydration boost. I plan to adding it into my complexion to add a bit of natural glow. 

iUNIK recommend this serum for people with dry sensitive skin. But, I have combination skin and I feel that it can be used for all skin type as well, because of how lightweight it is. 

From the skin moisture test, it increases hydration by 25% and reduce oil content by 18%. It means it's very hydrating and oil-free! *Noted that the test is done immediately after application*

iUNIK merekomendasikan serum ini untuk orang dengan kulit kering sensitif. Tetapi, saya sendiri memiliki kulit kombinasi. Saya kira serum ini dapat digunakan untuk semua jenis kulit juga, karena konsistensinya yang ringan. 

Dari tes kelembaban kulit, menunjukkan bahwa hidrasi meningkat hingga 25% dan mengurangi kandungan minyak sebesar 18%. Artinya serum ini sangat melembabkan dan bebas minyak! *Dengan catatan bahwa tes ini dilakukan segera setelah aplikasi ke kulit*

Selain itu, ia dikemas dengan 6.000 ppm perlindungan kulit yang dipatenkan. 6 sayuran yang terdiri dari pak choi, brocolli, tunas gandum, semanggi, lobak putih dan kol. Mengandung nutrisi dalam bentuk organik seperti vitamin, mineral, enzim dan melindungi kulit dari stresor lingkungan. 

iUNIK Centella Calming Gel Cream hadir dalam tube berwarna hijau segar yang menenangkan. Kalian bohong kalau sudah merasa kalem melihat packagingnya. Produk ini juga memiliki kemampuan menurunkan suhu kulit. Kita tahu bahwa dingin meredakannya gatal. Dengan menurunkan temperatur kulit, itu akan membantu mengurangi peradangan, kemedahan dan gatal terkait dengan kulit sensitif.


It has clear gel consistency with softer scent than Propolis Vitamin Synergy Serum which both from Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil. It leaves a non-sticky protective layer on top of skin upon application that will get absorb in a minute. It does sting when applied on blemish for a while. I believe it is the sign that the formula is working. And then, here it comes the soothing and calming effects.

I use it after toning, essence and serum by squeezing the tube to dispense desired amount of the gel cream. It gives nice cooling sensation when smooth over the skin. My skin feels moist and fresh afterwards. I think this moisturizer will suit oily skin type because of how light it is! People with dry skin type might use this as pre-moisturizer and followed by cream on top.

From the skin moisture test, it increases hydration by 40% and reduce oil content by 15%. It means it's a hydration bomb and oil-free! *Noted that the test is done immediately after application*

Memiliki konsistensi gel transparan dengan aroma lebih lembut daripada Propolis Vitamin Synergy Serum, padahal wangi keduanya berasal dari Minyak Buah Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot). Saat diaplikasikan seperti meninggalkan lapisan  yang tidak lengket di atas kulit dan cepat menyerap. Menyengat  sebentar ketika dioles pada kulit yang luka. Tapi saya percaya itu tanda kalau produknya bekerja. Lalu diikuti efek yang sejuk dan menenangkan. 

Saya pakai setelah memakai toner, essence dan serum dengan memencet tube-nya untuk mengeluarkan jumlah produk yang diinginkan. Ada sensasi sejuk/dingin yang enak ketika diratakan kulit. Kulit saya terasa lembab dan segar setelahnya. 

Menurut saya, pelembab ini akan cocok untuk jenis kulit berminyak karena sangat ringan! Orang dengan tipe kulit kering dapat menggunakan ini sebagai pre-moisturizer, lalu diikuti oleh krim lagi di atasnya. Dari tes kelembaban kulit, menunjukkan ada peningkatan hidrasi hingga 40% dan mengurangi kandungan minyak sebesar 15%. Artinya sangat menghidrasi dan bebas minyak! *Dengan catatan bahwa tes ini dilakukan segera setelah pengaplikasian*

VERDICT
My skin has been reactive lately because of the frequent use of chemical exfoliant and I use this iUNIK Propolis Vitamin Synergy Serum afterward, it calms and soothes my skin without stinging sensation. There's no negative effect. So far I haven't noticed any overall brightening effect yet. I am not sure if it's from the serum. I will keep you updated! 

On the other hand, iUNIK Centella Calming Gel Cream probably is the best centella cream I've tried! It's lightweight and super hydrating, it's suitable for humid climate. I might have to use other thicker cream on top but I don't have problem with it. My skin craves the calming and cooling sensation. I find that use both Propolis serum and Centella gel cream together also boost the hydration effect. Thank you, iUNIK! 

Kulit saya sedang reaktif akhir-akhir ini karena rutin eksfoliasi. Dengan menggunakan iUNIK Synergy Vitamin Serum ini setelahnya, dapat menenangkan kulit saya tanpa sensasi menyengat. Tidak ada efek negatif. Sejauh ini saya belum melihat efek mencerahkan secara keseluruhan. Saya tidak yakin apakah itu efek dari serum. Akan saya terus update!

Sementara, iUNIK Centella Calming Gel Cream mungkin adalah krim centella terbaik yang pernah saya coba! Ringan dan super menghidrasi, cocok untuk iklim Indonesia. Walaupun saya harus timpa lagi dengan krim tebal lainnya, saya tidak masalah. Kulit saya sangat membutuhkan sensasi menenangkan dan sejuknya. Oiya, pakai keduanya secara bersamaan juga meningkatkan efek hidrasi. Terima kasih, iUNIK

Cheers, 
♡Kamu

About the Brand
"Beauty should be pure. We firmly believe that in addition to being trendy and affordable, beauty products should be made to accommodate all skin types, which is why all of our products are formulated based on sensitive skin. A'PIEU offers a wide range of trendy, affordable, and non-irritating products that keep skin energized and youthful."

Saya baru tahu ternyata A'PIEU itu dari parent company yang sama dengan Missha, yaitu Able C&C Co., Ltd. Sedangkan A'PIEU filosofinya adalah kecantikan harus murni. Produk mereka  diformulasikan untuk mengakomodasi semua jenis kulit, terutama kulit sensitif.  Dengan konsep trendi, harga yang ditawarkan affordable dan tidak menyebabkan iritasi yang membuat kulit tetap awet muda.

Recently, A'PIEU released the Madecassoside series (Autistar Edition) to raise autism awareness. All Autistar products are designed by individuals who have autism spectrum disorders. A portion of proceeds go to Autistar, whose mission to support  individuals with autism to live with socioeconomic independence in their respctive  communities. The design is very cute, unfortunately what I will review is the old version of Madecassoside Cream. Only the packaging is different, but the ingredients remain the same.

Baru-baru ini juga A'PIEU merilis seri Madecassoside (Autistar Edition) untuk meningkatkan awareness terhadap autisme. Semua produk Autistar di desain oleh individu-individu yang memiliki autism spectrum disorder. Sebagian hasil penjualan akan disumbangkan kepada Autistar, yang misinya adalah untuk mendukung individu dengan autisme agar hidup dengan sosioekonomi yang independen dalam komunitas mereka. Desainnya lucu-lucu sekali, sayangnya yang akan saya review ini Madecassoside Cream versi lama. Hanya kemasannya yang berbeda, tetapi ingredients-nya tetap sama.

What is madecassoside?

  • MADECASSOSIDE is one of four principal bioactive compounds in the plant extract Centella asiatica. One double-blind study has shown even small amounts of this compound (0.1% in one case) combined with vitamin C have antioxidant benefit when applied to skin, and serve as an antioxidant in its own rights. (Paula's Choice) 
  • Madecassoside brings relief to sensitive or atopic & psiorias prone skin thanks to anti-itching, anti-redness, anti-desquamation and smoothing effect. (seppic)
  • In studies, madecassoside has demonstrated skin healing as well as anti-aging properties in skin. Including: Inflammation control Stimulating the synthesis of collagen I et III, integral components of the skin. Reducing the activity of MMPs – matrix metallo proteins – or enzymes that play a role in the breakdown of the skin’s matrix or framework. Madecassoside has demonstrated some benefit in the treatment of psoriasis, most likely due to its anti-inflammatory properties. (phamix)
Apa itu madecassoside? 
  • MADECASSOSIDE adalah satu dari empat senyawa bioaktif utama dalam ekstrak tanaman Centella asiatica. Satu studi double-blind telah menunjukkan bahkan jumlah kecil dari senyawa ini (0,1% dalam satu kasus) dikombinasikan dengan vitamin C memiliki manfaat antioksidan ketika diterapkan pada kulit, dan berfungsi sebagai antioksidan dalam haknya sendiri. (Paula's Choice)
  • Madecassoside menenangkan kulit yang sensitif atau atopik & psiorias karena efek anti-gatal, anti-kemerahan, anti-deskuamasi, dan efek menghaluskan. (seppik) 
  • Dalam studi, madecassoside telah menunjukkan penyembuhan kulit serta sifat anti-penuaan pada kulit. Diperkirakan itu bekerja dalam: Kontrol peradangan Merangsang sintesis kolagen I et III, komponen integral dari kulit. Mengurangi aktivitas MMP - protein matrix metalo - atau enzim yang berperan dalam pemecahan matriks atau kerangka kerja kulit. Madecassoside telah menunjukkan beberapa manfaat dalam pengobatan psoriasis, kemungkinan besar karena sifat anti-inflamasinya. (phamix)

What is centella asiatica?
  • Centella asiatica known as Gotu Kola is a medicinal plant that has been used in folk medicine for hundreds of years as well as in scientifically oriented medicine. The active compounds include pentacyclic triterpenes, mainly asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic and madecassic acids. (ncbi)
Apa itu centella asiatica? 
  • Centella asiatica yang dikenal sebagai Gotu Kola adalah tanaman obat yang telah digunakan dalam pengobatan tradisional selama ratusan tahun serta dalam pengobatan yang berorientasi ilmiah. Senyawa aktif termasuk triterpen pentasiklik, terutama asiaticoside, madecassoside, asam asiatik dan madecassic. (ncbi)

The description in the box doesn't help because it's written in Korean. Except the quotes in red background. "Madecassoside cream forms a natural protection from dangerous environments to help make skin healthy" The logo of the 'water faucet' symbolizes the revitalization of the skin, '+' symbolizes healing, the 'brick wall' symbolizes strengthening the skin barrier. 

At the front of box, there is a description of the percentage of active ingredients, 0.1% madecassoside and 40% centella asiatica leaf water. In addition, some of the ingredients that caught my attention were Niacinamide, Panthenol, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Leaf Extract, Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract, Lactic Acid and Asiaticoside. 

A'PIEU Madecassoside Cream contains many essential oils. Such as, Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Peel Oil, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Peel Oil, Citrus Nobilis (Mandarin Orange) Oil Peel and Juniperus (Cedarwood) Mexicana Oil. So, for those who have sensitive skin, be careful.

Keterangan pada kotaknya tidak membantu karena ditulis dalam bahasa Korea. Kecuali quote dengan background warna merah. "Madecaoside cream form natural protection from harmful enviroment to help make healthy skin"  artinya "Madecassoside cream untuk perlindungan alami dari lingkungan berbahaya untuk membantu membuat kulit sehat" Logo 'kran air' melambangkan revitalize skin, '+' melambangkan healing, 'brick wall' melambangkan strengthen skin barrier. 

Pada bagian depan kotak, ada deskripsi kadar bahan aktif, madecassoside 0.1% dan centella asiatica leaf water 40%. Selain itu, ada beberapa ingredients yang menarik perhatian saya, yaitu Niacinamide, Panthenol, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Leaf Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Lactic Acid, dan Asiaticoside.

Perlu diketahui bahwa A'PIEU Madecassoside Cream ini mengandung banyak essential oil. Seperti Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Peel Oil, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Peel Oil, Citrus Nobilis (Mandarin Orange) Peel Oil dan Juniperus (Cedarwood) Mexicana Oil. Jadi, untuk yang punya kulit sensitif tetap hati-hati.


With the distinctive blue accent of A'PIEU Madecassoside line, the design is adopting a medicine ointment. I love how the packaging comes in tube for hygienic reason. When the lid is opened, there is an aluminum foil seal which means the item is brand new.

It has white colored texture like lotion or cream gel with sweet scent which I suppose from the essential oil. It's very soft, doesn't sting my skin, doesn't leave ugly white cast (like my cosRX Centella Blemish Cream), no negative effects whatsoever. I use it  as all over moisturizer or sometimes only on my sensitive area.

Dengan aksen warna biru khas A'PIEU Madecassoside line, desainnya ini seperti mengadopsi dari desain salep obat, sampai ada lingkaran merahnya segala. Saya menyukai packaging tubenya for hygienic reason. Ketika tutupnya dibuka, ada segel alumunium foil yang artinya barang tesebut brand new. 

Teksturnya sangat soft seperti lotion atau gel cream dengan wangi yang manis. Saya kira berasal dari essential oil-nya. Tidak perih juga dikulit dan tidak meninggalkan white cast seperti CosRX Centella Blemish Cream saya. Saya biasanya pakai sebagai pelembab, kadang juga hanya di daerah tertentu yang sensitif. 

After washing my face, toning and other product treatments,  I squeeze the tube to dispense the cream on my hands, then I apply it on the skin. This cream is pretty thick for smooth over skin, so I usually dab it until it evenly distributed. I feel this A'PIEU Madecassoside Cream is like forming a layer on top of the skin, I think it's because of silicone.

For the moisture skin test, it turns out that it increases my hydration by almost 30% and reduce oil content by 18%. It means it's very hydrating and oil-free!

Setelah mencuci muka, sudah memakai toner dan perawatan produk lainnya, squeeze tube-nya untuk mengeluarkan krim ke tangan, baru saya oleskan ke daerah muka. Krim ini lumayan thick untuk di smooth over skin, jadi biasanya saya tap-tap saja sampai merata. Saya merasa A'PIEU Madecassoside Cream ini seperti membentuk lapisan di atas kulit.

Untuk skin test kelembabannya, ternyata menaikan hidrasi saya hampir 30% dan mengurangi kadar minyak sebanyak 18%. Artinya pelembab ini sangat menghidrasi dan tidak bikin berminyak.


Conclusion
For 2 weeks using A'PIEU Madecassoside Cream, I like its performance as a moisturizer. The packaging is travel-friendly and hygienic. For sensitive skin, be careful because it contains essential oils. The texture is very soft, doesn't leave whitecast and not too thick for my skin type, so I got both soothing and moisturizing effects. As a result, my acne is healing fast and does not form deep scars. You can buy this at GLMR Indonesia!

Kesimpulan
Selama 2 minggu memakai A'PIEU Madecassoside Cream, saya menyukai performanya sebagai pelembab. Packagingnya travel-friendly dan hygienis tidak perlu colek-colek jar. Untul kulit sensitif harus berhati-hati karena pelembab ini mengandung beberapa essential oil. Teksturnya tidak begitu berat untuk tipe kulit saya, jadi dapat efek soothing dan moisturizing nya. Alhasil penyembuhan jerawat saya jadi cepat dan tidak terbentuk bopeng. Ini bisa kalian beli di GLMR Indonesia!
