All in one tomato base. Easy to just pour it out, heat it up and ready to eat. No need to even add anything else (unless one wants to) as it comes ready to eat. Taste good and convenient!
The toothpaste was in an easy to press tube. It leaves a refreshing feel in the mouth after brushing, but not excessively overpowering. I find that it does help with gums sensitivity with repeated use, as I used to bleed in the gums when brushing too hard.
It's the size of a pen and easy to bring around. I used it at night before bed. There was no unusual sensation when applying. The brush is small and application on the teeth is easy.
My teeth is stained a bit yellow and even after 3 weeks of nightly usage, i don't find that it is a shade brighter. Perhaps a very slight difference but to my naked eye, i really can't tell. I had hoped that it would work, but I can't really see a difference.
It comes in a narrow non transparent bottle. Kind of difficult to extricate the tablets due to the bottle being too narrow.
As it's effervescent tablet, it needs to be dissolved in water. It takes less than half a minute to fully dissolve. It has got an orangey and tangy flavour, not sour and nice to drink. It's also not sweet. Feels like drinking an orange flavoured drink, but with all the benefits and none of the guilt! Considering that one tablet contains 1000mg of vitamin C, just one cup a day will pack a punch.
The cream colour is pinkish and the texture is light. Not gel like and not too rich. The moisturising effect is just right and doesn't create any shine but provides enough moisture. There's no strong smell or fragrance. Pores seem to be minimised and not too obvious upon application.
However, it does not give me the clear healthy glow. I have uneven skin tone and there was no rosy tint, but seems to leave a whitish cast. To me, other than it's nice texture and moisturising effect it does not offer a good coverage in terms of light blemishes or uneven skin tone. Skin just looks whitish, not clear or rosy. Foundation or concealer is still necessary. To me it does not have the make-up effect at all. Just reduces shine and a little of the pores. Blends well with foundation. Very much a primer rather than a standalone all in one without the need of foundation.
Both Cetaphil day and night creams have a creamy texture and such a joy to apply. The creams spread easily on the face and absorbed, resulting in a glowing complexion. Skin looks healthy, brighter and clearer with just a few days' application.
The creams may just be slightly greasy for oily skins but it doesn't break me out. I have combination skin. I'm loving the texture of the creams as i can feel it's very moisturizing and get an almost instant effect of the skin looking clearer. It absorbs well and doesn't sit on the skin like an oily layer.
The creams really work and i can't praise it enough!
The serum is not greasy or heavy. Upon application, skin does feel softer and smoother and easily absorbed. My skin does not break out, which i take it as a good sign. I'm not able to tell if there's a reduction in fine lines as a longer usage is necessary. As long as my skin feels softer (must be working) and no rash or breakouts, i'm liking it!
The serum has two layers which needs to be shaken before use. It's therefore not too oily as only one layer looks like oil.
Face feels soft and clear the next day! Definitely has a good effect
It's mild and gentle, yet effective in cleansing. My baby's skin feels soft after bath time. There's no rash nor any itchiness after bath time. Just love how effective as a wash and kind to the skin it is.
I received the colour pink. I thought it would be light and sweet but the colour was very vibrant and bright. I didn't think it suited me, so choosing the right colour is important. In terms of texture and staying power, it delivers. It's very smooth and application is easy, there are are no cracks even after some time. Sits perfectly on the lips. Lasted the whole day for me so wiping it off may be more difficult than an ordinary lipstick as a remakeup remover is needed. Other than that, its scent and texture are great.
The clay mask was easy to apply. it glides smoothly onto skin and wasn't cakey or difficult to put onto face. After washing off, the skin feels smoother and softer. Love the effect! Wasn't too drying as I applied moisturizer after masking. With prolonged use, skin looks clearer. I only used it twice a week as i feel it may be too much to use it everyday.
Tesco has many in house products which are of good quality and cheaper than the branded products. Tesco quality may be the same or even better than some of the more expensive branded products. They are also easily available and come with many choices.
This Clinelle range is light weight and yet provided the necessary hydration. I find that it's not too oily or leave a greasy feeling after applying the cream. The cleanser does not leave the skin feeling too tight or dry. The toner feels refreshing for the skin and not sticky. Overall, the skin does feel softer and more hydrated when the whole range of cleanser, toner, serum and cream is used. Most importantly, it does not break me out.

It has got a nice scent. Although not very harsh or drying on the skin, it still managed to remove grease effectively. Would definitely be buying it!
