I shall review the only trusted brand i apply on my face ever since the breakout after my tokyo trip last week >.<>.< it has been with me for 2+ years. i can really see ettusais combating my zits and keeping my face in control lately. its like you wont see the good of it when you are with it, but once you go without it, you will realise its good haha! Ettusais can be found at various departmental stores such as BHG bugis & junction 8, metro (Paragon, causeway point), Isetan (wisma).
1) Version Up Extrait acts as a softener and after applying my face really feel soft, not oily too! works v well with the shooter too. 1 bottle last me a year.. so it actually v cheap. it comes in refill bottle too.
2) refreshing shooter extra
rather refreshing. though its in liquid form, but the shooter is actually a moisturiser. bcos of this, i find it rather hard to mix other brands with ettusais skincare. the VU & Shooter must wk together i feel. in the long run, it really helps control my breakout! 1 bottle last me about 3 to 4months.
3) Medicated acne gentle wash a rather cheap soap cleanser but not v hygenic i thought. luckily i got a ettusais soap casing so it helps to keep it clean, but leaving it in the toilet just dont feel good. moreover, its q drying for me. so i dint cont after the 1st soap. the sulphur smell is v gd as well.
4) Medicated Pre-acne care sheetthis sheet really helps to keep my pimples at bay & soothe them! but its damn ex.. costing me 70cents for the size of a plaster. >.< so i usually cut the small sheet into tiny ones so i can fully utilise them haha. this is one of my HG fr ettusais.
5) Medicated whitening Eye treatment (yellow tube, from whitening line)
my 1st ever eye cream. nv gave me major problems, seems to be able to combat my dark circles efficiently reasonably priced as well. only complaint is that the packaging looks ugly lol! texture is q light, easily absorbed.
6) zero pore pact (oil block)my 1st and only foundation so far! coverage is so-so, cant really conceal my red scars but oil control is q good. made my face look smooth. the color suits me well, most friends dint realise i put powder.
7) Day protect powdergot it as a monthly freebie fr ettusais. the powder is really fine..made my face look smooth and look natural. an alternative to the zero pore pact.
8 ) oil block (make up base)gave me a radiant look and i tnk it helps to conceal pores haha. oil control is not v impressive. 1 bottle lasted me a year too, so q cheap in the long run. but i dont think its suitable for darker pple cos it may leave a ‘white film’ on their faces.
9) Medicated acne gentle make offits in gel form, rather thick but can still be massage q easily on face. q decent but dont emulsify as fast as dhc’s cleansing oil.
10) Medicated acne clear spots superioruseless! dont work for me at all, the worst product ive ever tried from ettusais.
11) White shooter dual effectmore oily than the refreshing shooter, dont really see the whitening effect after half a bottle. prefer the refreshing shooter better.
12) Lip Essence Spf 18 Pa++1 of the very few lip balms which contain sun protection. its quite sticky, and it leaves white thingy (dead skin) on my lips after a few hours of application.
as you can see, i really tried alot of products from ettusais!

想介绍我最信任的品牌给大家：艾杜纱！
从东京回来后，脸上多了很多“不速之客”：令人讨厌的痘痘！现在，我唯一敢擦在脸上的产品就是艾杜纱。
我曾有两度想要离开艾杜纱（因为受不住其它产品的诱惑），但是每次不到4个月，就会乖乖回到艾杜纱的怀里哈哈。每次回到艾杜纱，我就更坚信艾杜纱是我的救星，是我痘痘的克星 :)
1) 滲透导入液 （荳蔻魔法Up EX）Version Up EX它是清洁脸后的第一步骤，让乳液更好吸收。涂完后，脸一点也不油腻，感觉很柔软。搭配艾杜纱的保湿化妆水一起用，效果更好！一瓶大概可以用9至1年，长期使用一点也不上皮包。也有补充装，更节省，也很环保！
2) 清爽保湿水EX (荳蔻瞬間保濕化妝水EX[清爽型]) Refreshing Shooter这款保湿水有两种：清爽型和滋润型。我用的是清爽型。与其它品牌不同的是，这化妆水其实拥有乳液的作用，也就是涂完后就不用再擦其它面霜。我认为导入液一定要与保湿水一起使用，才能有效抗痘。一瓶大约可以用3至4个月，也有补充装。
3）輕柔潔面皂 （荳蔻洗顏皂）Medicated ance gentle wash
面皂相当实惠，一块可以用上4个月以上，但我觉得并不是太卫生。而且，用完后脸有点干，所以我现在已没有用了。
4) 荳荳集中護理面膜 Medicated Pre-Acne care sheet每次看到那些快要长出来的痘痘，我就会立刻贴上一片。它有预防作用。当然，如果不幸痘痘已长出来了，也可贴上，它有舒缓的效果。但像胶布一样小小一片，用起来非常贵，因此我通常会将它剪成几片，只贴在长痘痘的地方。这样一来，通常一片就可用于全脸。
5）靚白亮眼凝膠 Medicated whitening eye treatment
它是我第一支眼霜。对我的黑眼圈相当有效，非常好吸收。小小一支一年也用不完。
6）隱形毛孔粉底( 零毛孔無油粉餅[清爽]）Zero pore Pact (oil Block)
我第一个，也是唯一一个粉底。遮瑕能力普通，没能遮掩我红红的痘印。但控油效果很不错，擦完后脸看上去很滑。颜色很适合我的肤色，很多朋友都看不出我擦了粉底，非常自然。
7）日間守護蜜粉 （DayProtect Powder)是赠品。新加坡的艾杜纱每月都会有不同的赠品，不是会员也可以得到赠品。密粉很细，擦后脸很滑，不想擦粉底时，这密粉也是不错的替代品，让皮肤休息一天！
8）美白防曬粧前底霜 (荳蔻美白防曬隔離霜 EX [清爽]）Medicated acne whitening UV EX spf 24 Pa++ oil block控油效果不是太理想，但我觉得它让我的毛孔看起来小一点。涂完后脸看起来很亮，很红润。一瓶可以用上1年。
9）輕柔卸妝油 (藥用荳蔻零負擔卸妝油) Medicated acne gentle make off感觉比较象是胶状多过油，蛮好推的。水溶性还不错，但DHC的卸妆油更好。一瓶大概可以用9个月。
10) 荳荳護理. 喱 (荳蔻集中護理凝膠 ) Medicated acne clear spots superior
完全不是我痘痘的对手！
11）雙效美白保濕水 （荳蔻美白雙效化妝水）White shooter dual effect个人比较偏爱清爽的保湿水(Refreshing shooter)，因为这款美白保湿水比较油。我用了半瓶也没看到什么美白效果。
12) 唇部修護精華 Spf 18 PA++ (护唇精华液）Lip essence它是少数有防晒功能的护唇液。粘粘的，但涂完后几个小时，会在唇上留下白白的一层，大概是死皮。
在新加坡，只要购买任何产品就可成为会员。每花$10，就能得到一个stamp，印满20个就能得到$10票券。在生日月份时，每花$10，就可获得双倍stamp. 同时，每个月艾杜纱都会有不同的赠品，如化妆包，行李箱，镜子等。非会员也可获得！只要达到最低消费就可获取 :)
我在东京时，看见艾杜纱出现在ranking ranqueen （新宿JR线，东口）的架子上。Ranking ranqueen按照销售量等将产品分等级（排名），而艾杜纱的卸妆油、滲透导入液（Version Up)、 眉笔、唇部修护精华和荳荳護理遮瑕霜（Spot concealer)就在各部门的三甲以内。:)
