Spicy-Scoops#5 | Shills Mandelic Acid Skin Renew Essence Review

Confession - I havn't been totally myself lately. I don't remember the last time I was this-impatient. Taking a tad longer than usual to rebalance my chi over circles of unresolved issues. Anyhow, I think my old self is back now and am running at full swing - dreaming longingly about retail, food and spa therapy that awaits.

It's Spring time and this week happened to be the week of florals for me. And well - curtains, tablecloths, and foot rags, or so it seems. Right.

Or maybe it's just another jumpsuit and romper craze.

Moving on.

Today's review and surprise comes in the form of parcels. And I love receiving and prying open parcels. It's like presents you know. Surprise! I received a Hermo gift box not long back and after using the product for about a fortnight, I'm going to talk about Shills Mandelic Acid Skin Renew Essence.

What is Shill's Mandelic Acid Skin Renew Essence?

-   Skin renewal with 20% of mandelic acid
-   Exfoliates dead skin cells from AHA content
-   Anti-bacteria to fight acne skin
-   Prevent uneven skin tone and freckles
-   Vitamin E for skin lightening

People who knew me long enough would know that I went through a phase of depressed, acne fighting period. Now that I'm on the path to recovery, I'm left some comodogenic acne as well as stubborn marks.

Mandelic Acid is useful for it's natural antibacterial qualities to get rid of acne and to promote skin renewal at the same time. The AHA properties of this product is used to exfoliate the skin surface, hence, getting rid of unsightly marks and promoting even skin tone. 

I lightly pat on the non-sticky product on the problematic areas of my skin, after applying toner of course. So, did it do the job for me?

On a side note, I'm wearing Colorvue in Pretty Angel contact lenses from Mr Lens.

The Product Claims To:

-   Reduce inflammation and redness in 7 days
-   Visible scar lightening and less acne in 14 days
-   Tighten pores
-   Skin becomes more radiant and smooth

After two weeks of usage, below is the before (left) and after (right) picture.

I did see a reduction in redness and inflammation of my skin, especially around the cheek area. I also saw slightly lesser whiteheads and blackheads in these areas, and I'm extremely susceptible to clogged pores. That said, there were no noticeable difference on my acne marks and scars. Though I wasn't expecting much just after two weeks of usage to begin with, even the invasive treatments take time.

So, if you are looking for a post-acne treatment or simply put, whitening essence. Why not give this a go? There is also a 14 day money back guarantee from Shills if the product does not work, though I'm very doubtful if anyone would ask for a refund all in all.

Remember my First trip to Borneo not long back? This time round, I got to explore the town a wee bit more. Work-being-work, the event went great but I'm not going to talk about that much here. Withal, I'm extremely contented with how things had turned out.

I stayed at this place called Palm Beach Resort in Labuan. They say this place is haunted - but whatever. I was mind blown by the serenity of the ocean and was glad that admist the running around, I had some spare time to take these amazing snapshots using my 4S on HDR mode. The camera+ app is marvelous.

Now, I don't know about you, but one of life's greatest reward for me - Travelling! And I will be heading to Bangkok next month! Not my first time over but I'm so hyped up - you can't even imagine. Gosh, I really need this.
