L'Oreal HYDRAFRESH ACTIVE Moisturiser

When my brother recently had a vacation in Bangkok, he asked me what I wanted. Since there was nothing particular in mind I just told him to get me anything skincare. Hehe So he ended up getting me the L'Oreal Hydrafresh Moisturizer.

L'Oreal Dermo-Expertise Hydrafresh

What they say: Everyday the skin loses hydration, minerals and essential vitamins. When dehydrated, the skin is more tired-looking and less resilient. Consequently, the skin appears less radiant, its surface dry and rough.

INNOVATION: The L'Oreal Laboratories creates HYDRAFRESH ACTIVE DAY MOISTURISER, designed for 24 hour hydration. The melting formula contaons essential minerals - calcium and magnesium - and Vitamins C,E and B5. It provides an ideal dose of moisture to leave skin feeling perfectly hydrated, fresh and comfortable throughout the day.

ACTION: HYDRAFRESH ACTIVE DAY helps maintain an optimum level of water in the skin by locking in hydration. The vitamin-mineral formula intensely moisturises, refreshes and reinvigorates the skin.


It comes with another cap inside aside from the lid which I really like since you don't experience opening moisturisers to find only 30% of the contents at the back of the lid. Isn't that such a waste? In this case, I use a clean spatula to get the product to avoid contamination.



The moisturiser feels really light and is in a gel formula. I love this type of formula because it feels so light, moisturised and breathable.

Texture: The melting cream texture with its refreshing fragrance is a pleasure to apply. Non-greasy, it instantly sinks into your skin to leave it feeling soft and smooth.

I totally agree with the product's description with the texture. This is what sold me, and the refreshing fragrance smells really really nice!


HYDRAFRESH totally bended in my skin


I love how this product keeps my skin so fresh and moisturised without it feeling heavy and oily. I already have crazy oily skin and the last thing I need is to have my moisturizer really heavy and cause more oil. I don't want to now wear moisturiser so I'm glad my brother got me this. :)

I just don't know if this variant is available in the Philippine market and if so, I'm not too sure on the price range too. Do you guys know if this is available in The Philippines? :)



Toodles! :)

A shielding lotion that really shields

I have been on constant search for skin care products for my problematic skin. I have oily skin, prone to blemishes and sometimes I get dry spots on my face. In other words my skin is unpredictable and has a life of its own. Controlling it seems really hard to do. I have gone through my fair shares of cleansers, soaps, toners and moisturizers but somehow not one of those garnered a repurchase. Until I met, and fell in love with Skin MD Natural Shielding lotion.


I have been using this product for approximately a month now and I must say, it has changed my life (okay that sounds too dramatic, but it really has). Why do I say this? Simple. Yes it is the word "Simple". It is not complicated and it is very easy to use. The fact that I can use this lotion for my face, hands, legs, feet and practically all over my body is so simple that it cuts my beauty products in half.

I mainly use this product on my face in the hopes that it will even out my skin's complicated condition. And from the first application, i felt how wonderfully easy it was to use. The product is absorbed by your skin like water! It is so refreshing and light it feels like you have nothing on. In fact, it feels so light and refreshing that you want to just keep putting some on. And the next day after using the lotion, wow, my skin was baby soft!! I couldn't get enough of the product! It was so easy to use and effective! By one week of using the product, my skin's condition was even, my random dry spots all over my face was cured. My oily skin, I noticed was less oilier than previous to using the Shielding Lotion. It was great! I could use this product before my make up and at the end of the day, when make up needs to be taken off already, I experienced no break outs what so ever. Isn't that what you call shielding? :)

Another plus I can say about this product is that it works perfectly amidst the weather you are in. I have read reviews of this product from people who live in cold weather and wondered how this product would work in hot weather like The Philippines. And the answer? Yes, it achieved its purpose and did the job well done even in a hot place like Manila. Amazing. The product is that consistent!

Since this product isn't available in Manila yet, the only way to purchase it was online. This was the only downside for me. But I was able to make a repurchase (take note I made a repurchase when the bottle was still half full, i love it that much!!). Where? In Singapore! Since I just recently had a trip to Singapore, I was ecstatic and elated to see Skin Natural MD on the shelves of Drug Stores in Singapore. Without hesitation, I grabbed a bottle and purchased it right away. I need the backup because I'm scared to run out!!! :)

Overall, I am really in love with this product because it does what it says it will do. It's no frills, it is simple. It protects, heals and cures your skin problems all over your body. You do not need anything else. Just a lotion that really shields. I love my Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion. I have found my Holy Grail of moisturizers with Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion. :)
