Can Abbott’s Natopherol Dermal Defense E reduce stretch marks?

by Kit on July 15, 2010

For my first pregnancy, Palmer’s Cocoa Butter did not help me even though I *obsessively* applied it before and after my baths and before and after the pregnancy.
Granted, I put on and lost 30 kg O_O
For my second pregnancy, Bio Oil had no effect and neither did regular olive oil. What’s worse, I have a [...]

REVIEW: Suisse Reborn Moisture Lock Complex

While I was spring cleaning my vanity table and various cosmetic pouches (I think I have 5 but I still look out for more…), I made an inventory list of the creams, lotions, toners and make-up that I have.
Looking at the bottles I have amassed, I even shocked myself that I have SO MUCH stock [...]

Shellfish and skin allergy again

I have been really busy (what else is new?) the past 2 weeks mainly with spring cleaning the apartment, packing away newborn clothing, selling off baby stuff I didn’t need and also shopping for food for my 6 month old
Not to mention the regular errands like running to the bank, running to the [...]

REVIEW: Cellnique Moisturising Gel Wash

Like any other woman, I have skin problems like an oily T-zone, blackheads (especially around the nose area) and the horribly HUGE pimple when my period’s around the corner.
My only way around these problems was to go for regular facials at Dermalogica and undergo the painful process of extractions…
My Lancome’s Mousse Clarté Self-foaming Cleanser was [...]

Mosquito bites?

As we’ve been experiencing first hot and then rainy weather, the mosquitoes have been buzzing around! We enjoy the fresh air from the open windows during the day but at night, we’re attacked by the Aedes
My boy has been bitten all over, he looks terrible with huge, red welts on his face, [...]

REVIEW: shu uemura Depsea Moisture Replenishing Eye Mask

As I’ve been writing, writing, writing for the past few months, I thought my perfect vision, dead-tired eyes could do with a bit of pampering!
And I remembered the shu uemura Depsea Moisture Replenishing Eye Mask (8 sachets) I got for RM160 (yes, what was I thinking at that time???) tucked away in my wardrobe.

Opening up [...]

REVIEW: Sebamed for babies and toddlers

My son developed eczema at three months old and we find that we couldn’t use either the baby shampoo, the baby bath soap or the baby bubble bath from Johnson & Johnson.
It was a totally new experience for my family because we grew up using that range. In fact, I was still using Johnson & [...]

REVIEW: Body Shop’s Satsuma Body Polish

I love Body Shop products and one of the items I grabbed on my last shopping trip eons ago at Midvalley City was the Satsuma Body Polish at RM31.40.
According to the The Body Shop, the Satsuma body polish is:
“..loaded with exfoliating crushed walnut shells and loofah particles, the sensational Satsuma body polish leaves the [...]

REVIEW: Bio-Oil

When Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula didn’t work, I was captivated by the TV ad of Bio-Oil where a woman claimed that she didn’t have any stretch marks after using it!
According to Bio-Oil®,
it helps improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks and uneven skin tone. Its advanced formulation, which contains the breakthrough ingredient PurCellin Oil™, also [...]

REVIEW: Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula

When I was pregnant with No. 1, I was immediately asked to buy Palmers Cocoa Butter to prevent stretch marks.
Palmer’s Cocoa Butter is a household name for stretch mark cream that practically every pregnant woman I know used it, I decided to try it too.
From the Palmer’s website:
“Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Massage Cream for [...]

REVIEW: Bübchen Bath Oil and Lotion

Our little boy has eczema , which flares up during the cold and dry season. To counter this, I bought Bübchen’s (prounounced as “bewb-kh-urn”) Bath Oil and Lotion during our Hong Kong trip.
Bübchen is a very well-known German brand of natural baby skincare products made with aloe vera, chamomile and calendula.
When I spotted the [...]

REVIEW: Lancome Mousse Clarté Self-foaming Cleanser

I started Lancome’s Self-foaming Cleanser in 2007 because my combination skin continued developing black heads (especially around the nose) despite using Dermalogica’s Essential Cleansing Solution for more than a year.
Recommended for normal to combination skin, the self-foaming cleanser offered this promise:
“Giving clear, fresh skin in seconds, this cleansing water instantly transforms into a light, airy [...]

REVIEW: shu uemura Cleansing Beauty Oil Premium A/O

I’ve wanted to try out shu uemura’s Cleansing Oils when I read about it a few years ago. Work, pregnancy and motherhood tend to make you forget stuff like this!
Thus, I jumped at the chance of visiting the shu uemura outlet in Midvalley when I was there to shop for medicines, books and other supplies.
When [...]
