AMW Reviews: Vitacreme Anti-Ageing Serum

Remember my first Vitacreme B12 product review?  It's called the Vitacreme B12 Regenerative Cream and little did I know, they also came in serum form for anti-ageing!  

Vitacreme B12 Serum Anti-Age

Vitacreme B12 says ---

Enriched with Acetyl Hexapeptide-3, an potent anti-aging agent, blended with a high concentration of Vitamin B12, Hyaluronic Acid and Asiatic acid, it delivers various benefits, including anti-aging, anti-wrinkle, whitening, hydrating and firming. With this all-round treatment, skin is restored to a youthful-looking appearance.
This gel type care is fresh and readily-absorbed to perform the greatest efficacy.

Pros

• Squeeze type tube with pointed tip making it easy to control the amount of product needed.

• Gets absorbed into the skin quickly.
• Leaves a soft, moisturized feel immediately after first use.
• Manufactured and expiration date clearly printed on box.
• Immediately blurs out lines and lessens dryness.
• Non-greasy. 
• No breakouts nor allergic reactions on me.
• My skin doesn't look and feel dry anymore!

Cons

• If you dislike fragrance on serums, this particular product has a floral scent but disappears less than a minute.
• Sensitive skin may react due to the presence of Parfum in the ingredients.
• Price

Overall

This product is medium pink shade of serum is a bit watery by texture which can get absorbed into the skin easily.  It doesn't leave a greasy or oily-feel and feels very light upon application.  The anti-ageing effect, I can't tell for now but I can immediately enjoy the softer, more supple feel of my skin.

Keep in mind that skincare products need TIME to really see its effectiveness and results.

Tips

• Unsure if this product would work for you?  Do a patch test.
• Once signs of irritations occur, stop usage immediately.
• Use a tiny amount to start with, press a small pea-size of product and gently  massage into the skin starting at the driest part.
• Once product gets absorbed into the skin, you may continue with your regular moisturizer
• This product is good for 6 months upon opening.  Mark the product with the date.
• Do not forget to apply your neck area. 
• Though it was written in the instruction portion to use day and night, I prefer to start using the product once a day until your skin gets used to the additional "potent" product.

Will I repurchase?
May or may not.  Serum is never an integral part of my skincare regimen. It's a luxury :)

To whom do I recommend this to?
Girls and boys who are used to injecting a "serum" into their regimen.  This is best used for people above the age of 25, who needs the anti-ageing properties. 

Can be used by normal, dry, oily and combination skin.  Sensitive skin may need to do a patch test.

Where to purchase and how much?
Exclusively available in Watsons (SM Megamall, SM North EDSA, SM Cubao, SM Makati and SM Mall of Asia) for Php2,400 (approx $55.80) per tube.

Once in a while, I include the usage of serum as part of my "night time" routine especially on days I feel my skin gets really dry and needs the boost of moisture.  I'm halfway done with Vitacreme B12 Serum Anti-Age and so far, I'm happy with it.

Pros

• Simple squeeze-type packaging that makes it easy for me to control the amount of product to dispense.
• Sealed just like regular medicinal ointment from drugstore.  Assures us that the product is fresh.

• A little goes a super long way!
• Moisturizes my skin leaving it hydrated the whole day.
• No skin irritations nor allergic reactions *knocks on wood*  If skin irritations occur, stop usage immediately!
• There's no weird, irritating scent.  It smells like a light baby powder.
• I can feel firmness on my skin and increase in suppleness.
• Since skin feels and looks tighter, the very small pores on the sides of my nose was reduced! 
• My skin peeling is GONE and I can actually say, I'm "normal skinned" now?  Even if I forgot to apply moisturizer at night, I don't wake up with flaky skin.
• Gets absorbed into the skin easily so I can move on with my sunblock and makeup. If you plan to use this during the day.
• Turned-off with the moisturizing/hydrating property I kept telling you about?  Surprisingly, this gives out a matte finish so this complements with your makeup application by working as a base.

Cons

• A bit pricey for a 50ml tube but in fairness to this product, this will last you a long long time.
• Won't work for everyone.  May cause breakouts to people with sensitive skin.

Overall

You may have read various raves about the product, but please do not expect too much at first purchase.  What I appreciate about this product is its simplicity and how it targets straight to skin concerns like peeling, drying and it does leave my skin soft, smooth and firm.

Let's talk about fine lines, I do have distinct lines under the eye area but since this product is a bit too potent for the sensitive skin around the eyes, I gave the under eye application a skip so I can't tell if this product can really reduce the appearance of fine lines.

I've read from other reviews that this also works for acne scars/marks?
Results VARY...keep that in mind please?

Tips

• If you have sensitive skin,do the product test before applying this on your entire face.
• If you have oily skin, do use this during the night time.
• Take time to gently massage the product onto your cleansed skin.
• Start by applying once daily then proceed to am and pm application if the product works for you.
• Since this product does not have SPF, you need to apply sunblock separately if you use this in the morning.

Will I repurchase?
Depends, I'll see how long this tube will last me, I hope this won't expire on me.


To whom do I recommend this?

Anyone who would like to invest on skincare and isn't in a hurry to see results.  If moisturizing plus tightening and smoothing of the skin is what you're aiming for, this is a good product to try!

Where to purchase and how much?

Exclusively available in Watsons (SM Megamall, SM North EDSA, SM Cubao, SM Makati and SM Mall of Asia) for Php1,895.00 (approx $44.00) per tube.

Something New: Vitacreme B12 Regenerative Cream

 I got an email from Diane last month asking me if I'm willing to review Vitacreme B12, I actually went online and read about the said brand first before I agreed!  I have to let you know though that you will probably see a review on this after several months!  So if you're interested to read about reviews on this product, you can Google search the brand for reviews and see how the product works for different individuals!

For now, here's what I can share...

Vitacreme B12 are formulated and manufactured in Switzerland.  The basic ingredient, guiding of all Vitacreme B12 products is the vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin).

The pharmacological studies have shown that vitamin B12, when applied in percutaneous application, increases the elasticity of tissue by promoting the reorganization of the network of elastin fibres and the production of collagen fibres.  In short, it gives the effect of "skin rejuvenation".  

Benefits of Vitacreme B12

• Stimulates renewal of skin cells
• Hydrates and softens skin tissues
• Rejuvenates and improves skin elasticity and firmness
• Revitalizes and diminishes age lines and existing wrinkles
• Helps to prevent premature wrinkles
• Repairs and rebalances the skin's natural defense system
• Relieves and soothes chapped skin
• Smoothes or attenuates new or old scars
• Helps prevent peeling after a sunburn
• Can be used as a day cream and/or cosmetic base

I also research and read reviews before I start using a product to know what to expect, I actually read that the said product does help the skin feels smoother especially for users who are under skin treatment!  Others find this to make the skin more moisturized which equates to oiliness!  

I actually tested a bit of the product on my arm and below the ears for 3 days before I will go ahead to test the said product.  I plan to use this once every 3 days increasing the frequency as I go on. 

Exclusively available for Php1,895 (approx $44.00) in Watson's and SM Department Stores (SM Megamall, SM North EDSA, SM Cubao, SM Makati and SM Mall of Asia). I will update this post once I get the exact price.  For more information, visit www.vitacreme.com.ph

Expect me to report back once I'm ready!
For now, has anyone tried this? 
Care to share your thoughts?  I'd love to hear from you!
