Extra extra!~

Ettusias have just launched the new version of Skin Version Up and Aqua Shooter.

It’s now called: “Skin Version Up EXTRA” and “Aqua Shooter EXTRA”! (^_^)Y

What are the 2 products about?

They are part of the Ettusais’ Daily Skincare regime which consists of Wash->Prep->Moisturize.

Skin Version Up works as a softener that softens your skin’s surface layer to prepare it to absorb the maximum moisture from your moisturizer. Otherwise our skin is unable to absorb moisture on its own as it is “waterproof” or “hydrophobic”. That’s why it is named as the ‘Prep’ stage.

Dispense an appropriate amount (around 1-2pumps) onto your palm and apply to the entire face. I usually gently massage and pat it until all is being absorbed.

I have tried the old formula for the Skin Version Up and I felt that the texture was kinda thick and slightly sticky.

Now, the enhanced formula of Skin Version Up EXTRA comes in a lighter texture. This also allows penetration into deeper layers of your skin to treat blemishes, which means faster results! In addition, it helps to fight and prevents the growth and multiplication of acne bacteria too.

Verdict: I’m very pleased with the enhanced formula! It feels much lighter and my skin felt really moisturized after applying the Aqua Shooter, guess it’s really seeping down into the deep layers of my skin. You may find it a little uncomfortable upon the first try because it’s different from toners. Toners give your skin a dry and clean feel whereas for the Skin Version Up, your skin feels moisturized!

For the Aqua Shooter, it is a lightweight and refreshing moisturizer. It comes in 2 selection: Refreshing & Moisturizing.

Dispense 2 pumps on a piece of cotton and apply to your skin by gently patting your face with the cotton.

I have tried both Refreshing and Moisturizing. As a combination-skin person, I prefer the Moisturizing. A lot of people have the misconception that if your skin is oily, you should refrain from using moisturizing products. THIS IS WRONG! The excess oil is produced by the oil sebum and not caused by the hydration level. Combination-skin usually experience dryness at the cheeks and oiliness at the forehead or vice-versa. So what you need is an oil-free moisturizer to boost the moisture level of your skin. This in turn helps to reduce the excessive shine too!

For the Aqua Shooter EXTRA, the enhanced formula helps to further fight acne bacteria from deep within the skin.

Verdict: I have been using both Skin Version Up EXTRA and Aqua Shooter EXTRA for about 3 weeks. My skin feels moisturized everyday and the anti-blemish formula is working pretty well. The frequencies of my breakouts have reduced except for the ones that pop out at every time of the month. Hopefully with regular use of it, I can achieve clear skin!! Shall update you girls in another month’s time? Or maybe I should try their Pre Acne Care sheet!

It is recommended to use both products together to achieve maximum effects as they complement each other! And it can last you for about 1.5-2 months if you’re using it at the recommended dosage.

Skin Version Up EXTRA is retailing at $37.00 while Aqua Shooter EXTRA is at $41.00. Another plus point is that you don’t have to buy a new bottle when you have finished it. You can buy the refill instead and save some moo-lahs!!! =D
