this is another serum from it's skin power 10 lines, the vb effector. i know, there are a lot of serums and essences in this line, but i had my eyes on 4 of them, the co, vc, vb and po. i was sceptic about co and turned out it was okay but it didn't do any miracle on me. the vc was another okay, but it was a cheaper substitution for o.s.t. serum. there's no o.s.t. sample so i can't compare them both, but i guess vc wasn't close as substitute to o.s.t. and po, though a blogger recommend it, but i can't stand the smell so i have to give that one up. the last one on my list was vb. at first, i was intended to buy the full size straight, but then my sister ordered the wrong one for me and got the vc instead, so i decided to try the sample first.
this is the description from eyecandys.com: it's skin power 10 vb effector is a facial serum enriched with extracts of licorice to reduce redness caused by irritation. anti-aging and hydrating effects thanks to arbovitae & schisandra chinesis extracts. tackles dull complexion and promotes even skin tone. from the picture you can see that vb is an oil-free serum containing vitamin b6 to control sebum secretion and restore natural oil-moisture balance.
okay, so now onto the review..
the packaging: the sample sachet is shape like the full size product bottle, so it's easy to confirm that you get the right sample. for vb, the bottle color should be light green. the full size bottle will be a small glass bottle, containing 30 ml of serum, with dropper on top.
the smell: at first, i think it's similar to po, but more subtle. but lately, probably my nose has already been familiar with it, so i don't smell anything distinct.
the product: it's clear serum, very watery. i tried to capture it and it slides on my skin. hahaha..
the result: each sachet can be used up to 3-4 times (well, for me..) so i use the serum for almost 3 weeks in total. i forgot if i've mentioned it in previous post, but lately my skin condition is around normal scale rather than on oily scale.. so when i use the skinfood premium tomato whitening emulsion, i didn't experience any shine even after 4 hours, not even on my nose. and after i switched back to nature republic super aqua max combination watery cream, which is thicker and richer than the emulsion, my skin condition is still the same. probably thanks to this serum. i might warn you though, that i read on other blogs that this serum needs loooonnggg time to show the result. more than a month of usage to see the result, so if you wanted something more instant, you might want to skip this. oh, and i didn't experience any breakouts too..
overall, this is a good serum, better than peach sake. but since i'm pregnant now, probably i have to consider the hormone might screw the result. but i still recommend this serum for you with oily/combinatin skin. this is an affordable serum to try.
