Hey Ladies, what are you going to do differently this year to love yourself more? Have you tried to make your face look slimmer? Or, are you currently trying to slim down as you are preparing to step into the next stage of your life?

Whether you are about to start a new relationship with a brand new job opportunity or trying to slim down to fit into your dream wedding gown, or perhaps you are trying to impress the Korean oppa you saw from the fried chicken stall in the mall, here is something you can try.

Exercising regularly not only helps to keep our body fit and heart strong, at the same time it makes us a healthier and happier person. This is unfortunately not always do-able with a busy and hectic lifestyle that most of us lead today.

Soon after 2B Alternative launched their upgraded version of 2B Alternative for Face Pro, they upgraded their Arm and Body to the Pro version as well.



You'll notice that not much had been changed with the packaging of having the product in a red sleek tube. I wish they could use other colour for the text on the tubes or changed it back to white though, as you can't really see any text other than their brand logo here.

Few weeks ago I received an email to try out Oliva forte. Apparently the team read about my story and felt that I could give their natural health supplement a go! If you haven't already read about my eczema story, go click on the link and read about my personal battle with this incurable skin issue which I had battled with, for years .





OLIVA forte is a unique, natural health supplement containing HIDROX® which is a standardised freeze dried blend of organic olive juice which is claimed to be suitable for eczema, dry and itchy skin. The patented Olea europaea extract contained in the OLIVA forte™ product are absorbed through the gastrointestinal system and into the blood stream where they help fight the toxic free radicals found in the human body.



There is no gimmick in the product, only the use of organic olive juice. So, this is the first time I read that olive juice will help in my eczema condition. But they say you never try, you never know. So why not? No harm trying since it is just olive juice. There are 2 main products under Oliva Forte:


1. Essence - Pure organic olive juice
 (For Health) - multi-action biophenol supplement featuring anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-ageing, anti-bacterial and anti-UV damage properties. Enhancer to other consumed supplements depending on an individual's lifestyle needs;

2. Enchant - with Alpha Lipoic Acid
 (For Skin) - to look and feel younger with admirable radiant, flawless skin.

 

As I was battling with eczema, I was offered Enchant to try. I took 1 capsule a day before I go to bed and sometimes in the morning after my breakfast. Before this, i was already taking my regular supplies of multi-vitamins and omega fish oil, which I've read will improve my skin and strengthen my lungs.



Recommended Usage Directions:

To maintain a healthy lifestyle, the recommended dosage is 1 to 2 capsules daily.
For those taking for skin condition, the recommended dosage is 2 to 4 capsules daily.



To truly test the efficiency of the Enchant capsules, I did the following:

Week 1 - Week 3: Stopped all current supplements and took only enchant capsules at 1 capsules per day, either after breakfast or before bedtime.I even sacrificed my intake of collagen because I was afraid that it might affect the results of this test.

Week 4 - 5: Re-integrated my other supplements back into my routine, continued with 1 capsules per day after breakfast.

Of course I cannot solely rely on these supplements. I maintained my regular water intake, skincare regime, regular dose of fruits and vegetables as well.



Results:

Thou the results of my trial was not as astonishing as i expected it to be, as I had really high expectations of the product after reading raving reviews from users. There were 3 parts of my body that had obvious eczema spots at the time when I took Oliva Forte supplements. Only 1 part had visible improvements, the rest was improving but at a much slower pace.

I also had faced some diarrhea issues during the 1st week when I was suddenly put on the Olive Forte Supplements. I wasn't entirely sure if  it was due to the erratic weather, was it my weak tummy or suddenly introducing a new supplement into my diet. Therefore, I took the pills only at night, and on those days when my tummy was feeling better. This resulted in an irregular consumption pattern in the beginning week.

By the time I typed this review (I am at my 1 month+ of consumption), I was back on my multi vitamins, my Omega fish oil as well as Oliva Forte taken with time intervals in between consumption of all the 3 supplements. I no longer had diarrhea issues and had switched to taking this in the Morning after my breakfast.


Face:
I noted visible improvements most drastically on my facial areas. My forehead was not peeling anymore, same goes to the eczema patch on my cheek, they disappeared. There were also no new dry spots appearing despite the erratic weather. The eczema patch on my forehead was less obvious and itched less even when i had to deal with dust and furs, now they are completely gone. However, this could also be due to change of  my personal skin care products as well as the change in my lifestyle habits.


Hand:

At my arm bend fold area, my eczema patch was still as itchy as before. The supplement did not helped much. Some days i would scratch so bad until my fold bleed and scarred. I still had to apply a thin layer of my steroid cream for those areas to heal. Can see you the scar on my arm folds?


Ankle:
The patch is still quite visible and itchy. The Oliva Forte supplement did little to improve my existing condition on my ankle much.



I guess 1 month + of irregular consumption of Oliva Forte may not be sufficient to prove if this product really works for me, but overall I am still happy to witness minor improvements on my skin and great improvements on my face. I will continue to finish my supplements and hopefully yield better benefits with my regular intake.

What works for some, may not work for others. There is no harm in trying this supplement if you are keen to give it a go!

I think Grace and Luping's (Founders of Dermagold) brand philosophy works in-line with mine, I always believed in bare faced beauty as well and that confidence should come from within and not from an overly "make-up" face. Therefore I too, choose to invest most of my time on finding suitable skincare products that works for my current skin conditions. With time, our body's hormonal changes and with the crazy climate change, our skin's need changes too. Therefore, we need regular facials and skin check to know what our skin actually need, and to constantly update and change our skin care regime when necessary.



I feel very blessed this time around, to have receive a jar of the award winning Hydra Recovery Gel for my review. Aloe Vera is its main ingredient and it works very well for sensitive skin. Aloe Vera is one of the most natural and widely used ingredients for natural skin care products so I'm pretty sure this product will work for me without having even trying it out. Bias, I know. Go read about its healing properties and you'll become like me too.



Dermagold's Hydra Recovery Gel had received 2 Suncare Awards in 2015 from SHAPE and NUYOU respectively. I am happy to know that I am applying an award winning product on my face. Yay! But did it worked for me? Read on to find out.




The Hydra Recovery Gel is a light and refreshing gel that hydrates and calms the inflamed, scaled or sunburnt skin. This product is also suitable to soothe the skin after aesthetic procedures. You can use it as a healing aid for scalds and minor burns or as a moisture booster when you are traveling to cold and dry climates.



Ingredient List:
Aqua(Water), Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice(Aloe Vera Gel), Aloe Barbadensis Extract, Geranium Maculatum Extract, Carbomer, Triethanolamine, Allantoin, Imidazolidinyl Urea, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Butyparaben, Propylparaben.

This product is manufactured in Israel.




Directions:
Apply on face or skin.


Skin Caring Tip:
If in doubt or trying a new product, always conduct a patch test on the less sensitive areas of you skin first. You can choose to take a small amount of it and apply on your hands or less sensitive areas on your face.


Bonus Tip:
Apply a thick layer once a week as a mask for a hydration boost. It acts like a sleeping water mask as the gel quickly gets absorbed by the skin when its applied. I have personally tried it and it works so well for me. Due to my skin sensitivity it is now very risky to apply mask sheets as they sometime contain ingredients that aggravates my skin. My alternative solution is to find water-based moisturizers which can double up and serve the masking, hydration boost purpose.


Review:




Texture: ★★★★☆
I love its gel and water light texture which makes it go easy on my skin.


Scent: ★★★★★
There is a gentle fragrance from the product but the product doesn't contain any artificial fragrance so it is good for people with sensitive skin.



Packaging: ★★★★☆
Instructions on how to use and product information is all written on the jar of Gel which makes it very user-friendly for the user. However, for jar products I would appreciate a small spatula so as to avoid contamination of the product, there is also nowhere that I could find the product expiry date so I am using this blog entry as a gauge, anyway, I forsee this jar will be finished before I even realised it.


Price: ★★★☆☆
It is slightly on the higher side compared to similar products from the korean brands but we should go local and support our own brands! To justify for the price difference, note that aloe vera juice is being used as the main ingredient of award-winning Hydra Recovery Gel rather than aloe powder.

**Do you know? ALOE VERA IN A BOTTLE - Being Mother Nature’s method of healing wounds, Dermagold has integrated this natural salve into their Hydra Recovery Gel by drawing pressed juice from the inner part of the Aloe Barbadensis leaves, instead of simply using aloe powder.-

Results: ★★★☆☆
I love its multi-purpose usage and that it works on my skin. No very visible effects or results from the moisturizing factor yet, but will surely reach out for it on days when my skin needs an additional moisture boost. No redness or allergic reactions resulting from the use of this product either from combining with my current skincare regime, or using the product individually.


Rating: ★★★☆☆
Overall, I loved the product for its texture and being multi-purpose. I am sure I will reach out for it almost everyday because my skin is very dry recently. I'll be also using this to calm my face down during any face emergency from using the wrong products, so thanks for sending me a life-saver.
