Shu Uemura Introducing TSUYA Skin Youthful Radiance Generator (With Giveaway!)

.

Japanese brand Shu Uemura, famously known for its make-up products and cleansing oils, has recently launched a new anti-aging serum – TSUYA Skin Youthful Radiance Generator – that is said to help achieve a porcelain-fine, petal-soft, translucent glowing skin in just 7 days. Retailing at S$108 for 30ml, it is available islandwide in Singapore from September 2012.

Mr. Shu Uemura believes that “beautiful make-up starts with beautiful skin”.

Shu Uemura has analyzed more than 5,000 individual cases of Asian women’s skin to scientifically understand what is need for skin to be perceived as ‘ideal’ and 6 key parameters was found – smoothness, porelessness, translucence, an even tone, a fine texture and good skin color. When all these factors are present, skin radiates beauty and this is what makes ‘ideal’ skin.

Pink skin tone is another factor for a youthful-looking skin. With age, skin takes on a more yellow tone and the complexion tends to become uneven, giving off a dull-tired impression. To achieve an ‘ideal’ skin, it is important that skin retains its healthy pink tone and even color.

TSUYA Skin, Japan’s word for ‘ideal’ skin, is designed to unlock innermost workings of the skin and harness the latest discoveries in cellular biology to reactivate cell regeneration and reveal a dramatic skincare solution that reaches new heights in achieving beautiful, youthful skin.

Review – Shu Uemura Skin Purifier Cleansing Beauty Oil Premium A/I

 

It took me a while to decide before buying Shu Uemura Skin Purifier Cleansing Beauty Oil Premium A/I due to the high price as a cleansing oil. But eventually, I couldn’t resist it any longer after reading some good reviews on this well-received Shu Uemura Skin Purifier.

Choose the right one

Shu Uemura provides 6 different types of skin purifier cleansing oils which are created to suit different skin’s needs. So for my sensitive skin, I’ve chosen the Premium A/I, the first premium cleansing oil specifically made to soothe and care for fragile skin. A luxuriously rich texture to calm delicate sensitive and dry skin conditions.

Product claims

This cleansing oil with plant extracts, focuses on improving the texture of the skin, leaving the skin moisturized, nourished and more radiant looking. It removes impurities while providing holistic, soothing relief to fragilized skin to restore skin’s natural beauty.

The secret to Shu Uemura cleansing oil is protecting the skin’s delicate balance while removing make-up and impurities in a single step.

Shu Uemura believes liquid is best suited for cleansing, as it’s high affinity to the composition of impurities that accumulate in pores allow for a gentle yet effective cleansing without interrupting skin’s natural balance.

Ingredients

This mineral and corn oil-based liquid is after all quite standard. Although Shu Uemura Skin Purifier Cleansing Beauty Oil Premium A/I is formulated using a combination of oils like safflower oil, persea gratissima oil (avocado oil), jojoba seed oil, these selected oils do not necessary mean a optimum penetration of stubborn waxes and oils in waterproof mascara, foundation and lip color as its claim. 

One merit point about Shu Uemura Skin Purifier Cleansing Beauty Oil Premium A/I is that it contains ingredients with good antioxidant properties like persea gratissima oil (avocado oil), arginine (amino acid) and tocopherol (vitamin E).

Although this cleansing oil is specially made for hyper sensitive skin, but it does contains skin-irritant ingredients like linalool and fragrance.

Reviews

This watery oil-based liquid cleanser does a great job of cleansing away foundation, lipstick and dirt but not waterproof mascara. Although it is specially made for fragile skin, frankly I do not feel really safe using this product, knowing too well it contains harmful ingredients which may trigger my sensitive skin anytime.
