GODIVA Fruitonique Re-Youth Cream


How did I get this?
Well I'm off to Watsons in Sta. Lucia East Grandmall to get a moisturizer. However it's not available at that time so I ended up getting the Godiva fruitonique Re-Youth Serum, fruitonique Cream and their Inhibition LicoWhite Lotion.

What does GODIVA says?
Uses stem cells from rare Swiss apples to make human skin cells young again
Has fruit extracts for gentle skin exfoliation
Contains licorice extract to even out skin tone, Centella Asiatica for firmer skin, and Squalane oil for hydration
For best results, use with Fruitonique Soap and Serum
For more information visit their website.

My Skin Type:
Combination/Sensitive - normal to oily skin

Packaging:
I think the packaging is cute and simple. Colors suits the name fruitonique. It has a nozzle-like tip that makes it easy to make a spot application.

Texture:
Its a little sticky and not as light as the serum. It s white in color. Its also watery that makes the product easy to apply and absorb by the skin.

Direction:
After cleansing, apply a thin layer of Fruitonique Re-Youth Cream all over face and neck. Gently massage into the skin using small, upward circular strokes. Avoid direct contact with eyes. Initially, use once a day for two weeks. Thereafter, apply twice daily. For best results, use in tandem with Fruitonique Re-Youth Serum, and top off with sunblock. Some may experience itchiness at the beginning, which is normal. However, if itchiness persists, discontinue use.

What I say about it?
I've been using this for about 4 months same as the Serum. Thou this one I don't normally use. I cant see the difference between the Serum and the Cream.
Unlike the Serum, this is more itchy when applied even if you use it in moderation.
I believe this is mainly for a day cream thou you will be needing a separate sunblock(as stated on the direction) to protect you from the sun's UV rays. This also made my skin too oily so I dump it as a day cream.
I'm using this occasionally for an eye cream. I may say it lessens the visibility of the lines. But it doesn't erase it of course. I believe its safe to say that this doesn't itch if you'll only use a drop or two around your eyes.
Same as the Serum it doesn't pass as a skin whitener.

My Verdict: 3/5

Will I repurchase?
No I'd rather use the Serum instead since they're mostly the same in effect and the Serum has a plus factor in healing.

GODIVA fruitonique Re-Youth Serum

Well I'm off to Watsons in Sta. Lucia East Grandmall to get a moisturizer. However it's not available at that time so I ended up getting the Godiva fruitonique Re-Youth Serum, fruitonique Cream and their Inhibition LicoWhite Lotion.

What does GODIVA says?
The rejuvenating power of Swiss Apple Stem Cells, captured by Godiva. Now concentrated in Fruitonique Re-Youth Serum, a remarkably revitalizing element that makes skin cells young again.
For best results, use with Fruitonique Soap and Cream
For more information visit their website.

My Skin Type:
Combination/Sensitive - normal to oily skin
Packaging:
I think the packaging is cute and simple. Colors suits the name fruitonique. Its a pump-type bottle that I really like.


Texture:
I like its texture its light and not so sticky. It has a clear color too. The consistency is both pro and con. Its watery that makes the product easy to apply and absorb by the skin. If you're fond of watery products then its not an issue.


Direction:
Just pump enough serum onto your fingers and massage onto your face and neck, ideally once in the morning and in the evening. Avoid direct contact with eyes. Some may experience itchiness at the beginning, which is normal. However, if itchiness persist, discontinue use.

What I say about it?
I've been using this for about 4 months now and still using it. Thou I don't regularly use this product. 

As what it says on the direction that it may itch on first use that's totally true for me. But the itching is bearable. Itching stops after 3rd application.

This makes my skin really oily during the day so I prefer using it at night. It also doesnt have SPF to protect your skin during the day.

I love it as a night moisturizer. It leaves my skin looking healthy in the morning that I dont want to wash my face when I first used it. :)

I also use it occasionally as an underarm lotion. Yes you heard me right underarm lotion. I use this after I epilate my underarms. We usually have little bruises thou not much noticeable you'll feel the sting after you applied your fave deodorant. This quickly helps soothes and heals these bruises plus leaving my underarms really smooth.

When I have breakouts I also use this with Dermatix Ultra. It dries up my pimples faster.

If you're looking for a skin whitener this product is not for you. Thou it says it has licorice that whitens skin I do believe it doesn't pass for a skin whitener.

My Verdict: 4/5

Will I repurchase?
Definitely yes as an underarm lotion and night moisturizer.

Note: What works for me may not work for you.
