Centel Acne Clear Review

Since I was in 6th grade, I have been looking for facial washes that are effective against pimples or acne. Sometimes, a product would work, but for some reason the effectivity of the product slowly fades so I'd have to look for another product that will give good results. 

I have been given a chance to review the Centel Acne Clear Wash Foam and I was so lucky to do it. I have to admit that the brand is not familiar to me, but I don't really rely much on brands to see if the product works or not. I'm just wishing to have had this 25 years ago when I had acne so I can try its effectivity. But even though I no longer have one, it's still worth to try if my 1 or 2 pimples would disappear using it. 

The Centel Acne Clear Wash Foam

Impressions

First impression of the product from its packaging is that it has a very direct approach that tells us it will fight or it will clear acne for you. There's nothing like writing your message in big red fonts like there's an emergency or it's something that should belong in a medical kit. I like that it didn't bother much with the designs like putting flowers or or other colorful things that might improve its visual impact because it gives me the impression that they're confident that their product works and it's serious about its purpose. 

First Usage

The first time I used it, I noticed that its foam is unscented. When I used it on the face, it was just like any other facial cleansers I used. I did not feel any sting or itchiness while I use it which is a good start. The interesting part is when I started washing it off. 

When I started to wash it off, the foam just got washed off immediately. No residue was left that I needed to repeatedly wash off with water. It just gave me a clean and refreshing feeling on the skin. It's like the clean feeling I get after washing with Safeguard on the face, but has that moisturizing effect that Centel Acne Clear gives you which I believe is what makes this product stand out. 

Not an Oil-Control Product

Yes, since it fights acne, DO NOT expect it to be an oil-control product and I also noticed it 4 hours after wash. I was at home and I started noticing my face becoming oily again which is a common thing. I guess it's a question of priorities whether you want your face to be acne-free or oil-free ,and at the moment, I wanted my pimples to disappear so, yeah, acne-free it is. 

Did It Work?

After 4 days of using it, my small pimples did disappear without leaving any marks so yes, it did work for me. Honestly speaking, I did not have acne while I used it so I really can't say its effectiveness on acne. But since it got rid of my small pimples, that's good enough for me to recommend it to you.

Mejie Coffee: The Slimming Coffee with Collagen

Slimming coffees are not new to the market. I have tried a few slimming coffees before, but this is the first time I've tried a slimming coffee with collagen. So it's supposed to slim you down and gives you great skin and other benefits, too.

Here's the product information about the Mejie coffee:

MEJIE Coffee Plus Collagen is the first product that contains 3 Active Ingredients for weight loss plus making your skin young using Japanese Hydrolyzed Collagen raw materials. MEJIE Coffee Plus Collagen also uses natural sweeter called Stevia. To give you more description of the main raw materials of our coffee.

Active Ingredients: 

GARCINIA CAMBOGIA

Garcinia cambogia, a tropical fruit also known as the Malabar tamarind, is a popular weight-loss supplement. People say it blocks your body's ability to make fat and it puts the brakes on your appetite. It could help keep blood sugar and cholesterol levels in check, too. You'll find it in bottles on the shelf at the store as well as mixed with other ingredients in diet products.

How It Works

The active ingredient in the fruit's rind, hydroxy citric acid, or HCA, has boosted fat-burning and cut back appetite in studies. It appears to block an enzyme called citrate lyase, which your body uses to make fat. It also raises levels of the brain chemical serotonin, which may make you feel less hungry.

L-CARNITINE

helps the body produce energy. It is important for heart and brain function, muscle movement, and many other body processes.

GREEN TEA

It is loaded with antioxidants and nutrients that have powerful effects on the body. This includes improved brain function, fat loss, a lower risk of cancer and many other incredible benefits. Here are 10 health benefits of green tea that have been confirmed in human research studies.

COLLAGEN

Hydrolyzed Collagen is the missing link in supplying amino acids like glycine, proline and lysine that are required by the body to build connective tissue to regulate cell growth. It will benefit hair, skin tissue, muscle, cartilage, ligaments and blood cell growth.

Improves Health of Skin and Hair.

Reduces Joint Pains and Degeneration.

Helps Heal Leaky Gut.

Boosts Metabolism, Muscle Mass and Energy Output.

Strengthens Nails, Hair and Teeth.

Improves Liver Health.

Protects Cardiovascular Health.

STEVIA POWDER

Stevia is an intensely sweet, natural sweetener that is harvested from the stevia reb Audi ana plant.

Research indicates that stevia sweeteners do not contribute calories or carbohydrates to the diet and do not affect blood glucose or insulin response.

Just pour the sachet contents into a sip and add 180ml of hot water. Stir well and Mejie Coffee plus collagen is ready to be served.

Directions: 

Just pour the sachet contents into a cup and add 180ml of hot water. Stir well and Mejie Coffee plus collagen is ready to be served.

I do admit I have a sweet tooth so anything that's not sweet is a big adjustment for me. So at first sip of Mejie Coffee, there was a very slight bitterness and I could also taste the collagen which proves that there is indeed collagen in my coffee.  But after a few more sips, my taste buds got used to the unique coffee taste. I finished the whole cup and I actually felt full. 

Right now, I'm on my 2nd day drinking Mejie coffee after meals because it's been a habit of mine to drink coffee after breakfast or lunch, or sometimes both. It didn't give me any side-effects or whatsoever as of today. As for my eating urges, nothing much has changed as of now, but I do feel a little bit more alert and energetic. I plan to continue drinking the coffee and finish the whole box to see the results.

Reminders: Please do not drink this coffee if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or suffering from any illnesses. Please consult your doctor first for your own safety. 

Mejie coffee is available in Lazada and Asian Sky Mall (www.asianskymall.com).
