Pore Clogging Ingredients You Should Avoid



For you all, the beautiful and handsome human kind in the living world, Happy Ied Mubarok 1433 H all :))) . Wish Allah bless you everyday more and more :)
Now, I wanna talk again about skincare, which is , my concern now, hihihi, sounds like if I am pleased to choose, for residency post - medical school, I`d like to be neurologist/ paediatrician/ dermatologist :)))
Making new natural remedy combat with safe environment and safe medically product and treatment, maybe I can make lemon squeeze salt facial for brightening uneven skin complexion . Hahaha, it`s just a chit chat, let`s go to the point...

Nowadays, many products (skincare) offer its own positive side, like :
  • Brightening only for two weeks
  • With apple extract to remove blackhead and whitehead
  • Pinkish white facial foam
  • Etc,,,,
But they don`t give the side effect of using them. LOL, who don`t wanna get rich? if they (manufacturer) claims the positive side with side effect might be happened by using that , as you can see in drug / pharmacologycal stuff, the manufacturer will be bankrupt soon, because of too many blackbox warning product instead of the positive function.

Of course it`s back to who use it, does she/he have sensitive? acne prone? comby? dry? flaky? The wise of our choose also give good result combined with RIGHT PRODUCT.

I haven`t got any dermatology lecture yet in my college, I`m still in 5th term now, but I have read some SOP of Ilmu Kesehatan Kulit dan Kelamin (Dermato-venerology) in Dr. Soetomo Surabaya Hospital. Which, surprisingly chemical peel using TCA (Trichloro Acetic Acid) in many notorious aesthetic clinic basically is a healing for Kutil Kelamin -Condyloma acuminata- as famous as called as Genital Wart.
No offense, but, if using TCA peel sounds like you have genital wart to be cleaned. :D In fact, it`s only acne marks, scar, etc. Be wise again ladies and gentleman

Enough said about that, back again with Pore Clogging. And, here`s the top list of ingredients in our skincare / cosmetic that boost pore clogging :
  1. Algae Extract
  2. Carrageenan
  3. Hexadecyl Alcohol
  4. Isocetyl Stearate
  5. Isopropyl Isostearate
  6. Isopropyl Myristate
  7. Laureth 4
  8. Myristil Myristate
  9. Octyl Stearate
  10. Oleth - 3
  11. Potassium Chloride
  12. Red Algae
  13. Sodium Chloride
  14. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
  15. Wheat Germ Oil
And many more like Myristic Acid, Lauric Acid, and the list is downloadable in this url, and even more at this

Just give the ingredients, no, I have picked up several skincare in house, which it`s pore clogging but I just recognized it, my bad :(

Sodium Chloride, Lactic Acid, Parfum

Myristic Acid in the first, how acne prone this facial foam is!!
Stearic Acid, Lauric Acid


And ASAP I rush to market to find anything, especially facial care which contain none of those, finally I found from baby care product. Alhamdulillah
  1. Cussons First Year Newborn Pure Hair & Body Wash
  2. Cussons First Year Newborn Care Body Moisturizer




No perfume, no alcohol, and one only thing is it`s still contain detergent : Sodium Laureth Sulfate

I also bought moisturizer gel



Bottle of 100 ml

Tube of 50 gr



And, my favourite is they`re unscented, I like it !
I wish you all be wise to choose your product that suit you, and your skin :D
Thank for reading my blog and CMIIW because I`m just a human being :)))

Facial Oxygen Regular by Viol*tta

"Perawatan wajah yang menggunakan bahan-bahan yang mengandung oxygen murni yang merangsang tumbuhnya nutrisi pada jaringan kulit . Diperkaya dengan ekstrak tumbuhan atau botanicals, enzim, dan vitamin untuk memberikan hasil nyata yang cepat. Perawatan ini dilakukan untuk mengatasi kulit yang sensitive, berminyak, jerawat, kulit kering dan anti aging."
"Face treatment uses pure oxygen ingredients that stimulate growth of skin`s nutrient. Enriched with plant extract or botanicals, enxyme, and vitamin to give the instan finishing complexion. This treatment is undergone to solve skin problems such sensitive skin, oily skin, acne-prone skin, dry skin, and anti aging"


Yesterday, I went to go facial because in the next 5 or 4 days again, Ied Day, the winning day after one month moeslem around the world doing fasting in this Ramadhan. Who doesn`t wanna be pretty? Of course, I wanna be looked pretty at that day, moreover my skin need to be treated well as few days ago I got acne breakout due to :
  • using mask that doesn`t match with my skin
  • the excess of using not-match lightening night cream
  • it`s been two months stressful and tired , when I got to finish this and that thing at my campus, including parasitology remedial, microbiology final exam, proposal for research, charity, etc. 
So, now I have to more loving my skin, hihi, this is the time. Usually, I got facial treatment at Alya Salon & Day Spa, which I`ve reviewed it .

Now, I`d like to try another, the biggest and most notorious, Viol*tta with its purple complexion colour at exterior and interior building. Because, many my friends go there for treatment, spa, etc. I only had fitness, sauna, and swimming experience there.

At first, I have my own purpose, this facial time isn`t just facial, I want to try microdermabrasion! Yes, because I think my acne isn`t so inflammating, the rest is just black post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It`s only took Rp. 180.000,00 here to get Facial + Microdermabrasion. I think it`s really worth it.
That was my first thought, when I was there, I was consulted to not try MD because I still have acne "doh. The receptionist suggested me to have Facial Oxygen Regular worth Rp. 150.000,00. Oh, maybe I would get some oxygen infusion treatment, like oxygen serum, or anything else. So I accept.

The way I don`t like from the first talking to her (receptionist) is she talks with me as long as complaining to her friend beside her about "the loss customer today after cancelled reservation". Please, your job is only receptioning customer right, not also the marketing! I honestly don`t like double role. If I compare with Alya, receptionist there was so very very delighting, very very soft in talk and smile, and I just like it, that`s the first one minus for Violetta which has not so-charming and professional receptionist. Not just that, the second minus is, air conditioner so hot, even Gresik is so hot, my not-equipped house is cooler than Violetta, really!.

Then, there`s one woman beautician call my name and accompany me to the treatment site. This place has many rooms to do treatment. As I walking corridoor, there are several beauty tools / machine such as liposculpture, oxygen bla bla bla, and etc. Here`s the condition of the treatment room. Still, equipped by purple colour, big mirror, one curtain dividing two beds in one room, almost transparant door, which , the loudness of corridor walk heard from inside (the other beauticians outside spoke loudly in Javanese, it`s messy). When I changed my clothes in tube, in that room, the beautician almost three times went in, y u no see I`m still changing !

For the room, still, hot air conditioner, dull music, look not sterile beauty bottles filled with many creams, and one lamp, no steam machine, and I could see what treatment my beside woman got, it`s peel off mask. Alright this is so bad room, I don`t like it. Up to now, I got nothing I like from this whole building-customerization-accentuation- but purple colour.




This is where it starts
This is what you`ll see from the bed, the unlock door, which you can hear noise outside the room

Beautician start applying milk cleanser, toner, with very HARSH movement! Not as soft as when I got facial in Alya!!! I felt guilty to spend my 150K for this kind of treatment! Then she scrubbed my face with that soft bead. I like this bead. And I felt somewhat itchy and tingling feeling, I ask her if it`s that okay continuing treatment with this itchy feel. Yes that`s okay. Alright.

Then she apply white mask, which is very very very painful. She called it by chemical peeling. What!! I spoke I used tretinoin and still questioning the same thing, she said okay, because it`s still used in low concentration. Okay

FOR YOUR INFORMATION, SHE ALSO TYPING ON HER BB PHONE ONCE WITH TREATING MY FACE. You can imagine how it`s not sterile !!!

Then, she left me for some 15 or 20 minutes as I got bored and took my phone to play solitaire.

She came back, washing my masked - face with warm washcloth. Covered my eyes with wet cotton, not cucumber !. And no steam, no steaming, I know it`s important to open the clogged pore, but she started picking up my comedo in forehead by no steaming. Which I actually notice it because there`s no steamer in that room. And after picking up four or five comedo in my forehead, she started typing on her bb phone again, and said "Mbak, bentar ya" / "Excuse me for a while sist"

Alright, I wish this isn`t too long, but it wasn`t!!! She left me for almost 15 minutes. With that unfinished comedo extracting. Oh I just wanna go away from this place and not paying for 150K , for this low quality service like this. Then she came in again, extracting only my nose, my under eye pore, and that whole extraction not more than 15 minutes long. She asked me when the last facial I got, I answer two months ago. But that doesn`t mean you don`t extract my comedo in my other area, can you believe me, with my acne prone oily pimpleing skin she just 15 MINUTES extracting !!! It`s a big big mistake.

Then she applied green clay mask which she called it by Tea Tree Mask. This is one I like because it`s cooling, that`s it. Alright, she left me again. And back again by removing my mask, applying lotion in my face, and finish.

I took my picture when this greeny hulk mask covered my face

When I notice my face in the big mirror in that room, I see there`s still some white cream / mask leftover in my nose, indicating that she didn`t clean it well, and like usual, reddish nose only, with still comedo !

From now on I promise to my self I just only give my face treatment in Alya.

Review Skincare : Biokos Pure Balance Purifying Gel Cleanser & Astringent

My 2nd post today, hello everyone again, this time I`m gonna write about Biokos again, because this skincare line is popular amongst my big family, my mother, sister, auntie use this. From Botulike until Dermabrite. Alright, I try to review , so let`s check these out.

The Packaging
Left : bottle`s mouth so big
Centre : Gel cleanser
Right : Astringent

Purifying Gel Cleanser
Help to remove excessive oil without drying. The active ingredient is Bio-Hazel extract to maintain skin`s natural balance of oil and Pro Vitamin B5 to help skin achieve perfect moisture level, leaving your skin fresher. According to Wound Management lecture by Prof. David Perdanakusuma, Sp.BP that I recently had, it`s best when your skin, even it is wounded or normal is moisture, from dry to moist, and from oily, wet to moist. So, moist is the key. I agree with this Biokos word on the bottle.

From packaging, last from 2007 until now, the bottle is so so, no change, greeny, medium size for 150ml and fat / chubby.
As you open the bottle, you`ll see how big the mouth is, it`s very hard to control how much amount of gel popped out from the bottle, and if you`re careless, it will overdue, and I think it`s little not hygiene with this kind of opening.
Then you`ll smell the fresh fragrance, but it`s too much. For those who get allergies easily with any kind of perfume, don`t try to use this.
Then the texture is very greeny clear, cool, and I like it, it`s just like transparent mayoneisse :) and easy to absorb by our skin
The power to remove make up is very good, only with one lap you can see the lipstick and eyeliner is washed away, and with twice until three times, your skin is definitely cleaner.
After few minutes post-using this, I feel my skin is very moist and I like to touch it more, but the perfumes still leaves there :(((




The greeny gel , and easy to blend

Left : Lipstick & eyeliner
Centre : Application
Right : After one swap

Left : The cotton is dirty
Centre : After one swap
Right : After two swap, clear but leaves eyeliner little

Purifying Astringent
Same as the gel cleanser, the function, active ingredients, but this one is less fragnant, not so disturbing like the gel cleanser

Price : Gel Cleanser 34.000 Astringent 34.000
Packaging : 3/5
Power : 5/5
Perfume : 4.5/5
Purchase Again : No, I`ll think about the softer smell 2 in 1 Cleanser & Toner , help me to find yap :)
