Soprano Laser virtually painless and extremely reduce unwanted hair.

Soprano Laser

virtually painless and
extremely safe method to permanently reduce unwanted hair.

The pain free Laser which uses the world’s most comfortable and quickest laser, the Soprano Laser, can now free you from daily shaving, painful plucking and waxing to give you silky smooth and beautifully bare skin – on all skin types! The pain free Laser is the next generation of hair removal. Using the latest Soprano Laser, it’s an effective and permanent hair reduction solution that is simple and easy.

Soprano Laser hair removal is a state-of-the-art procedure designed to remove unwanted hair faster and more comfortably than ever before.

With Soprano Laser, you can receive treatment regardless of skin colour and can even treat sensitive areas without any discomfort. The secret to a virtually pain free treatment is the method by which the hair follicle is damaged. By using a sweeping, paintbrush technique with low doses of energy applied multiple times to the hair follicle, the Soprano Ice Hair Removal procedure is shorter than other laser methods, more comfortable and gives top results. 

You can expect results from a series of relatively short sessions. (The actual time depends mainly on the size of the area you are having treated.) A trained doctor, nurse or laser technician performs each treatment and you are free to return to normal activities immediately after each session.

The benefits of Soprano Laser treatments are:

• ·         Virtually pain free with no analgesics or other pre-treatments
• ·         Long lasting results
• ·         Quick treatment, usually less than one hour per treatment
• ·         No recovery time or 'down time' so you can immediately return to day to day activities
• ·         Effective for all skin and hair types
• ·         Perfect for sensitive areas of the body, including the face, neck and bikini area
• ·         No hair growth required prior to treatment as area must be shaved

Saprano Laser  uses the most successful photoepilation wavelength (810 nm), which makes it the gold standard for laser hair removal. In addition, a patented Saprano Laser mechanism ensures the surface of your skin stays cool and even more comfortable throughout your treatment.

A laser is a high-energy beam of light that can transfer its energy through the skin to a specific part of the body. These beams of light can vary in terms of their strength and the type of tissue that they can target. In the case of hair removal, pigment contained in the hair shaft can be targeted as can the hair follicle or root with a single specific wavelength (or colour) of light generated by the laser.

This energy heats up the base of the hair follicle, which causes damage to the cells that produce hair growth. If enough damage is done, this will prevent the hair from growing any further (please see diagram below).

The effect is most productive during what is known as the anagen or 'active' phase of hair growth, (other phases include times when the hair is simply resting and no longer growing, or is naturally shedding ready for a new one to form). The anagen phase is when new hairs start to grow. The amount of time that a hair follicle stays in the anagen phase is genetically predetermined and will vary slightly within the population (especially with ethnicity) and on different areas of the body.

During this period of growth, the hair follicle has increased pigmentation and growth of new cells that makes it more open to damage from light treatment.

Some normal side effects may occur after laser hair removal treatments, including itching, pink skin, redness, and swelling around the treatment area or swelling of the follicles (follicular edema). These side effects rarely last more than two or three days. The two most common serious side effects are acne and skin discoloration.

Saprano Procedure

Some level of pain should also be expected during treatments. Numbing creams are available at most clinics, sometimes for an additional cost. Some numbing creams are available over the counter. Use of strong numbing creams over large skin areas being treated at one time must be avoided, as this has seriously harmed, and even killed, patients. Typically, the cream should be applied about 30 minutes before the procedure. Icing the area after the treatment helps relieve the side effects faster. Unwanted side effects such as hypo- or hyper-pigmentation or, in extreme cases, burning of the skin call for an adjustment in laser selection or settings. Risks include the chance of burning the skin or discoloration of the skin, hypopigmentation(white spots), flare of acne, swelling around the hair follicle (considered a normal reaction), scab formation, purpura, andinfection. These risks can be reduced by treatment with an appropriate laser type used at appropriate settings for the individual's skin type and treatment area.

Some patients may show side effects from an allergy to either the hair removal gel used with certain laser types or to a numbing cream, or to simply shaving the area too soon in relation to the treatment.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion

MICRODERMABRASION

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a non-chemical, non-invasive procedure that uses a spray of microcrystals to remove the outermost layer of dry, dead skin cells and reveal younger, healthier-looking skin. Microdermabrasion is a noninvasive, skin resurfacing procedure that gently exfoliates or polishes away the top layer of dead skin cells, while stimulating collagen growth, to reveal healthy new skin that looks and feels smoother. Fine lines, blemishes, dull skin and sun spots can be improved, especially with regular treatments. Products such as moisturizers, creams and lotions are more easily absorbed and therefore more effective after microdermabrasion treatment. This is a painless, low-risk skin treatment that can be added to your beauty routine.

The technologies used today are either specialized tools that shoot a stream of tiny crystals, or a diamon-tipped wand. Both aim to remove the Stratum corneum. Diamond and Crystal dermabrasion have their unique pros and cons but at the hands of a good operator you will get similar results.

         The treatment of microdermabrasion can be performed by a physician, a nurse, aesthetician, or other trained medical personnel. It is recommended for patients to consult a dermatologist or medical aesthetician before starting any resurfacing treatment. Careful evaluation on the patient's skin for changes in texture, severity of photoaging, depth of scarring, and the type of skin from a specialist will help patients select the proper resurfacing modality in order to address the skin.

       This advanced treatment can be used as a stand-alone maintenance treatment or upgraded as a booster treatment to most relaxation facials. For best results, we recommend a series of gentle Micro treatments, with treatments scheduled 7-10 days apart.  Each procedure takes approximately 45 minutes to perform and there is no downtime for the skin to recover.

Skin Anatomy

The skin can be divided into 3 major layers:

• ·         Epidermis - The outer, barrier layer consisting mainly of dead skin cells
• ·         Dermis - The middle layer that contains the structural parts of the skin including collagen and elastic tissue
• ·         Subcutaneous tissue - The bottom layer that contains fat and larger blood vessels blems effectively.

Skin Anatomy

Microdermabrasion Work

Your skin is constantly shedding dead cells to make room for growth and to clear toxins. However, some cells stay on the surface of the skin and can cause a dull or rough appearance. Microdermabrasion works by scraping or blasting these cells away to clean and rejuvenate your skin. There is actually a fourth, false layer of skin that you have. This layer (referred to as the stratum corneum) is where small wrinkle and lines begin to form before they dig deeper into the layers of your skin.

The false layer of skin should be removed as it can prevent the skin from breathing properly and reduce the effectiveness of other methods of skin treatment. Microdermabrasion's sole purpose is to remove this layer of skin while leaving the lower layers unaffecting. Of course, in professional settings, microdermabrasion can go even deeper to remove scar tissue and stretch marks.

The vacuum used during microdermabrasion is employed for several reasons:

·         It isolates a certain section of your skin for deeper cleaning (like a vacuum cleaner attachment).

·         It can also serve to raise unwanted cells and impurities from the lower layers of your skin.

·         It allows the crystals to work solely on the isolated section of the skin and makes treatment sessions shorter.

·         It collects and disposes of any materials that are freed from the skin.

Microdermabrasion for Anti Aging

From minimizing fine lines to improving your pores, microdermabrasion provides many benefits. It is one of the three most commonly performed dermatology treatments in the United States, and its relatively low cost makes it a practical choice for patients with minor skin problems and early signs of aging.

One of the most important benefits of Microdermabrasion is its anti-ageing effect. Treated areas show visible improvements in the tone, texture, and colour of skin. Microdermabrasion can also provides excellent results for the following conditions:

Ø  Softens fine lines and wrinkles

Ø  Helps smooth coarsely textured skin

Ø  Decreases the appearance of acne and acne scars

Ø  Blackheads and whiteheads

Ø  Minimize enlarged and open pore

Ø  Dull, stressed or congested skin

Ø  Sun-damaged skin

Ø  Reduces superficial hyper-pigmentation (age spots)

Ø  Skin Pigmentation

Ø  Increased product penetration

Microdermabrasion Procedure

Microdermabrasion help with Acne Scars

Microdermabrasion may be very useful for people with active acne, mild acne discoloration, pick marks, and very superficial or raised acne scars. Dermatologists use microdermabrasion to help unclog pores and clear acne. Often used in combination with gentle glycolic peels and medical acne extractions, microderm can help speed up acne clearing.

Individuals with deeper acne scars may expect a much longer series of treatments 

One of the most common side effects of microdermabrasion is redness of the skin or treated area. This is caused by the treatment; as the crystals begin to rub away at the skin and remove dead particles, the skin can become irritated and red. The redness can be worse in people who have existing skin problems with acne. Acne bumps or open sores may become more irritated and reddened after the procedure. Areas with acne that is cystic or weeping with blood, pus or fluid should be avoided and treatment revisited once the skin has healed. If the microdermabrasion is being used to treat common acne, purging can occur. This is where the pores open up in response to treatment and can cause the acne to temporarily get worse. As the skin repairs itself, the acne outbreak should also resolve within a week. Rarely, redness is caused from an allergic reaction or sensitivity to the crystals or the friction of the treatment.

Before having a treatment done, you'll want to be aware of the possible side effects of microdermabrasion. (The technician doing your treatment will fill you in on the possible side effects too.)

·         Redness is the most common side effect. Usually, it's similar to a mild sunburn. For most people, the redness fades after just a few hours.

·         Dryness or flakiness in the days following a microdermabrasion treatment isn't unusual, and typically resolves within a week. If you have very oily skin, you might welcome the fact that your skin isn't as oily as usual.

·         Microdermabrasion also can increase your sensitivity to the sun (photosensitivity). Make sure to wear your sunscreen!

Because microdermabrasion works only on the superficial layers of the skin, serious side effects are very rare. Your risk is very small if your microdermabrasion treatment is being done by a skilled and conscientious technician.

The greatest advantage of microdermabrasion is that there is no recovery time for this treatment, so the patient can perform his daily activities immediately after the treatment. Also, microdermabrasion is a completely painless procedure and the patient can see the result immediately after the treatment.

The low cost and safe nature of microdermabrasion makes it a very viable method of skin treatment. Scars and stretch marks can also be readily removed in a medical setting. However, the applications of microdermabrasion are generally in the upkeep and prevention category rather than the actual treatment of skin conditions. You do not need to see a doctor before beginning a microdermabrasion program but a professional may be required for more intense sessions.

Consider whether the value of prevention techniques outweighs the cost of later skin treatment methods when deciding whether or not you would like to invest in a microdermabrasion treatment. With home methods available at lower prices than many other treatments, you can try several products or types of microdermabrasion before investing in more expensive medical treatments.

While you may not see immediate results, avoiding a chemical peel at a later point may make microdermabrasion a logical skin treatment method. Coupled with the low cost, if you are looking to perform a skin treatment procedure that will provide reasonable results and can be performed fairly quickly, microdermabrasion may be right for you.

Glutathione is the Master Antioxidant

Glutathione is a Master Antioxidant

Glutathione is a Master Antioxidant

      This new old “wonder” supplement is called Glutathione. Glutathione is an amino-acid that has been known to help the body fight free radicals produced from pollutants found in the air, food and water. Today, it is more popularly known and much sought after for its skin lightening benefits. In increased dose, it is said to have a remarkable good ‘side effect’ on the skin: skin whitening and other skin enhancing and nourishing benefits.

     Dermatologists prescribe it to remove dark spots, prevent or get rid of pimples and pimple marks, take away or prevent wrinkles, and other beauty-related treatments. Its skin whitening regimen is widely used in Asia and has been reported to be the “Asia’s Most Prescribed Oral Skin Whitener” among the skin whitening products. It is often referred to as bleaching pill, bleaching capsule, whitening pill or whitening capsule. Many dermatologists use it.

     Oral administration of this supplement, taking in consideration the proper dosage, is said to help lighten one’s skin and give it a youthful sheen. How it works as skin whitener The inner layer of the skin called dermis and the outer surface which is visible to our eyes is the epidermis. The primary element that determines the color of human skin is the amount of melanin in the skin. And melanin is produced by a cell called melanocyte. In increased dose, glutathione helps whiten the skin by reducing melanocytes which then leads to reduction of melanin in the skin, making it look fairer. But this is not an overnight fix. It takes a little time to see initial change in one’s skin tone. That’s because glutathione’s whitening process starts from inside the skin (dermal layer) going outward (epidermal layer).

     The whitening process goes head to foot, meaning that one will have an evenly white skin tone in her whole body. It is estimated that by taking 2 capsules of 1000mg glutathione per day, one can see the results in two weeks time. However if one takes 1000mg once a day only, it would take a month for her to see and feel the results. Glutathione and Vitamin C Glutathione can be taken anytime of the day, preferably before meal time because it is best utilized when taken in an empty stomach. When one takes

     Glutathione supplements however, it is very likely that the body will oxidize the Glutathione. “Oxidized Glutathione” reduces the effectiveness Glutathione as an anti-oxidant, anti-aging or a skin whitening agent. This “oxidation process” can be prevented by taking Vitamin C. Not only that, Vitamin C also helps raise the level of Glutathione by helping the body manufacture it. According to recent research, a person taking Glutathione should take two to three times more Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) than the dose of Glutathione.

     More than just a beauty product The recent popularity of Glutathione as a wonder skin whitener has overshadowed its other health boosting benefits! Unlike any other whitening pills / capsules, glutathione doesn’t just whiten the skin, it is also an anti oxidant and anti-aging pill which is important for overall good health and long life. A closer look at glutathione What exactly is this wonder nutrient? Glutathione is a small protein composed of 3 amino acids called cysteine, glutamic acid and glycine to help the body respond to the environment such as pollution in the air we breath, water we drink, chemicals and pesticides in the food we eat that cause damages in our cells and system.

     Dubbed as the Master Antioxidant, it regulates the actions of lesser antioxidants such as vitamin C, and vitamin E within the body. It is present mostly in liver where it detoxifies many harmful compounds which are then excreted through the bile, red and white blood cells, lungs and intestinal tract. A major free radical scavenger enzyme, it helps prevent cancer especially liver cancer, essential for the functioning of the immune system, protect individual cell and tissues of arteries, brain, heart, immune cells, and kidneys. Anti-viral too Paul Cheney, M.D., Ph.D. and expert in the treatment of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome says that “Glutathione has potent anti-viral properties – if tissue and serum glutathione levels are significantly increased, the replication of most pathogens are slowed or stopped. Conversely, glutathione deficiency produces a pro-viral effect.” Sources that boost your body’s natural production of Glutathione. Glutathione is manufactured inside our cells.

     Our cell’s ability to make glutathione is directly determined by the supply of raw materials, in particular, the amino acid cysteine. Cysteine can be found in meat, red peppers, garlic, onions, broccoli, brussel sprouts, oats, milk, whey protein, and wheat germ. However, it can usually be produced by the human body under normal physiological conditions if a sufficient quantity of methionine is available. When your body is deficient in glutathione Without the protection of Glutathione, our cells will die at a faster rate, making us age quicker and putting us at risk for all kinds of toxin-induced diseases. A deficiency of glutathione can cause destruction of red blood cells, leading to anemia and oxidative stress and brain cell death and Parkinson’s Disease.

     Other health conditions that are associated with glutathione deficiency include diabetes, low sperm counts, liver disease, cataracts, and HIV infection, respiratory distress syndrome, cancer, and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. A research study done by Eric Topol, MD and published in the New England Journal of Medicine suggests that abnormally low glutathione levels may increase the risk of heart attack. Bad news for smokers, too, Cigarette smoking helps reduce the level of glutathione in the body. Reduced levels of glutathione increase the risk of health problems and health problems deplete the supply of glutathione in the body. It’s a vicious cycle. Side Effects What about serious side-effects?

     Studies show that there have been no noted untoward side effects of Glutathione. In fact as we noted earlier, SKIN WHITENING is the “SIDE-EFFECT” of Glutathione! So it is probably safe to add Glutathione to your daily habit of taking supplements. In fact, it’s not only safe, it will make your vitamins and other nutrients work even better because Glutathione is the master oxidant. Overdose? No danger, because, the more you take glutathione, the lighter your skin will appear!

Acseine Super Sunshield SPF50

2015 alcohol-free sunblock series, part 2

(part 1 can be found here)

That I am a lemming has been proven time and again. When someone says something is great, it's only natural that I will run out and buy it. Or at least sniff and smear it at the store.

Acseine has not been on my radar at all. I was vaguely aware of its existence but it did not interest me in the slightest. Even when it was highly rated by @Cosme (on a regular basis) and won a (Japanese) Vogue Beauty Award last year for some Aqua Moist Balance something or the other. No... I paid no attention to Acseine.

Until my smartphone turned really smart on me and suddenly targeted cosmetic ads started to appear on my screen. I'd be reading the world news on BBC or checking the weather and bam! An image box under the text began to extol the virtues of Acseine Super Sunshield, among many other things.

To, ze jestem lemmingiem, kazdy juz chyba wie. Kiedy slysze, ze cos jest niby dobre, to oczywiscie, ze natychmiast pojde i kupie. Albo przynajmniej pomacam w sklepie.
Acseine w ogole nie pojawial sie na moim kosmetycznym radarze. Tak jakos obilo mi sie o uszy, ze istnial, ale nie interesowal mnie on specjalnie. Nawet kiedy regularnie dostawal wysokie oceny na @Cosme i kiedy dostal jakas nagrode japonskiego Vogue za Aqua Moist Balance cos tam cos tam. Nie. Nadal mnie nie interesowal.
Az do chwili, kiedy moja madralska komorka naprawde zaczela sie wymadrzac i nagle zaczely mi sie pojawiac reklamy kosmetyczne. Czytam sobie BBC, albo sprawdzam pogode, i nagle bam! Pod tekstem pojawia sie reklama Acseine Super Sunshield, miedzy innymi.

How did my smartphone know that I was looking for sunblocks? Was it spying on me at the drugstore?

And because I always listen to the voices in my head smartphone, I had no choice. I went to Rosemary's late one night, right before the closing time (because that particular Rosemary's is staffed by racist pigs and I can't bear to spend any more time in their company than absolutely necessary).
I stared at the Acseine display.
The display stared back.

Co to? Czyzby moj smartphone szpiegowal moje zakupy drogeryjne? Skad wiedzial, ze kupowalam filtry?
A poniewaz zawsze slucham sie glosow w mojej glowie (lub smartphonie), nie mialam wyboru. Pewnego wieczora, na krotko przed zamknieciem sklepu, pojechalam do Rosemary's w miescie. Niestety w sklepie tym obsluga jest mniej niz mila dla gaijinow.
Gapilam sie na szafe Acseine.
Szafa Acseine gapila sie na mnie.

I listened to the voices. Like a good little lemming, I reached for the Super Sunshield. Saw that there were two different kinds of them.
I saw one racist pig causally saunter in my direction while pretending to dust the shelves.
The sunblocks were on the lowest shelf and while I was squatting on the floor, the pig proceeded to dust the Acesine display right above my head. All the while sharp eyeing me to make sure I wasn't pocketing anything other than dirty tissues I used to wipe the tester samples off my arm.

I decided to stand up abruptly and in the process the top of my head hit the racist pig right in the chin. Score! Serves her right for bending over me. While the pig was in a hurry to swallow the blood from her bitten tongue so she could apologize and bow without frothing pink at the mouth, I calmly asked her for one of each.

Posluchalam sie glosow w glowie (i smartphonie) i siegnelam po Super Sunshield. Okazalo sie, ze byly tego dwa rodzaje.
Pani z obslugi malo przyjaznej dla gaijinow zaczela kierowac sie w moja strone udajac, ze odkurza polki.
Filtry byly na najnizszej polce szafy Acseine, i kiedy kucalam sobie aby pomacac testery, pani zaczela odkurzac zaraz powyzej mojej glowy. Caly czas bacznie mnie obserwujac, czy aby nie wkladam do kieszeni czegos wiecej niz brudnych chusteczek, ktorymi wycieralam sobie rece po testerach.

Musialam w koncu wstac i zrobilam to dosyc nagle i gwaltownie. I moja glowa walnela ja prosto w dolna szczeke. Dziesiec punktow dla mnie, a ona ma za swoje. Po co sie nade mna tak pochylala? Kiedy pani z obslugi malo przyjaznej gaijinom starala sie zatamowac krwawienie z nadgryzionego jezyka, ja spokojnie i milo poprosilam po jednym z kazdego.

Acseine Super Sunshields, that is. To prevent shoplifting (yes, people do steal in Japan, regardless of what popular media might tell you, but of course everyone knows that it's only foreigners who shoplift), there were only testers and empty boxes on display.

The pig disappeared from view, no doubt to check if any of her teeth were broken. Another employee appeared with my chosen products and lead me to the registers. There, no doubt, to get rid of me in a hurry, she added a generous amount of Acseine samples and even asked if I had a store member's card. To her shock and horror, yes, I did.

Clutching my precious haul close to my chest, I disappeared into the night.

I hate that particular Rosemary's more than words can tell. And apparently, the feeling is mutual. But, sadly, the selection there is a lot better than what's on offer at their other, friendlier store.

So what exactly is that Acseine?

ACS stands for Allergen Control System (according to the company's website). It's a Japanese brand that was established back in 1973 by a dermatologist concerned by the sharp increase in dermatitis cases. Or something like that.

Po jednym z kazdego Acseine Super Sunshield, oczywiscie.
Aby zniechecic do kradziezy, w szafach staly tylko puste opakowania i testery. Tak, oczywiscie, ze ludzie kradna w sklepach w Japonii, na potege, opowiesci o honorze i uczciwosci mozna sobie miedzy mangi wlozyc. Ale kazdy Japonczyk przeciez wie, ze kradna tylko i wylacznie gaijini (sarkazm, zeby nie bylo nieporozumien).

Pani z krawiacym jezykiem zniknela, pewnie po to, zeby sprawdzic, czy ktorys z zebow jej sie nie zlamal, a inna pani pojawila sie z moimi filtrami. Niemal za reke zaprowadzila mnie do kasy, i na odchodne dorzucial duza garsc probek Acseine. I nawet zapytala sie czy karte lojalnosciowa mam. Ku jej zaskoczeniu - mialam.
Zlapalam moje cenne zakupy i popedzilam do samochodu.

No coz, przyznaje sie bez bicia. Nienawidze tego oddzialu Rosemary's. I jak widac - z wzajemnoscia. Niestety maja dobry wybor kosmetykow. Duzo lepszy niz moj ulubiony Rosemary's na drugim koncu miasta.

Ale, ale, mialo byc o Acseine...
Co to wlasciwie jest?
Acseine to japonska marka dermokosmetykow zalozona w 1973 roku przez dermatologa, ktory zauwazyl nagly skok w ilosci pacjentow z podraznieniami skory natury alergicznej. ACS znaczy tyle to Allergen Control System.

Anyway, fast forward to 2015 and Acseine offers a full range of skincare and makeup.
The skincare samples I tried were very nice. In fact, they were so nice that for a few days I was seriously considering ditching my entire skincare collection and switching to Acseine exclusively.

Acseine products are supposed to be gentle for the skin and free of common allergens and skin irritants.

Today we will talk about two such gems.

My last alcohol-free sunblock review - Shigaisen Yohou - turned out to be highly controversial. It was pointed out to me that it's the nature of chemical-free sunblocks to leave a white cast and be heavy on the skin. And that criticizing a physical-only sunblock for those attributes is like complaining that the sun shines.

And that might very well be the case for most, let me repeat it again, for most, alcohol-free sunblocks. Especially for those of average (or less) quality on the lower-end of sunblock spectrum.

Teraz w 2015 roku Acseine oferuje kompletna linie do pielegnacji i makijazu dla cery wrazliwej, alergicznej, leczonej, itp, itd.
Probki pielegnacyjne ktore probowalam byly dobre. Tak dobre, ze przez kilka dni, kiedy ich uzywalam, mialam ochote wywalic wszystkie inne kosmetyki i przestawic sie tylko i wylacznie na Acseine.
Dlaczego sa tak dobre? Bo sa bardzo lagodne dla skory i nie zawieraja skladnikow powodujacych nieprzyjemne skorne niespodzianki.

Dzis porozmawiamy o dwoch takich co chronia przed sloncem.

Moja poprzednia recenzja filtru bezalkoholowego (link powyzej w wersji anglo) okazala sie dosyc kontrwersyjna. Wytknieto mi, ze to przeciez taka natura filtrow fizycznych, ze biela i ze sa ciezkie na skorze. I ze narzekanie na to, ze filtr fizyczny na takie cechy, to tak jak narzekanie na to, ze slonce jest i swieci.
I moze to i prawda dla wiekszosci, powtarzam raz jeszcze, dla wiekszosci, filtrow nie-chemicznych bez alkoholu w skladzie. Szczegolnie dla tych o przecietnej (lub mniej) jakosci z bardzo niskiej polki filtrowej.

Luckily for us (yes, you too! Otherwise you'd have to suffer through yet another complaining review), Acseine is not one of them.
And unfortunately for us (yes, me too, because damn, I can't stock up), it's not on the lower-end of sunblock spectrum either. It's pricey. Which only goes to prove that if you want quality, you gotta pay for it. (Yes, there are exceptions to this rule, but that's what they are - exceptions).

So, what do we have here?

Two different sunblocks.

Our first contestant is the one and only Acseine Super Sunshield EX SPF 50+ PA++++.

Na szczescie dla nas (tak, dla was tez, bo inaczej narzekalibyscie, ze znowu narzekam), Acseine nie jest takim filtrem.
Na nieszczescie dla nas (tak, dla mnie tez, bo bede narzekac, ze nie jestem w stanie obkupic sie na zapas), nie jest to produkt z niskiej polki filtrowej. Jest drogi. Co potwierdza regule, ze za jakosc sie placi. (Tak, sa wyjatki, ale tym one wlasnie sa - wyjatkami).

Wiec, co mamy tutaj?
Dwa rozne filtry.

Pierwszy zawodnik to Acseine Super Sunshield EX SPF50+ PA++++.

It claims to be moisturizing, non-chemical, waterproof, hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, alcohol (ethanol) free, non-comedogenic, and with something called PV (Perfect Veil) technology where the tint in the formula does not touch the skin directly.

It's packaged in a swanky bottle of microscopic proportions.

Producent twierdzi, ze nie zawiera filtrow chemicznych, ze jest wodoodporny, hypoalergiczny, nawilzajacy, bezzapachowy, bezalkoholowy, nie zapychajacy, z technologia PV (Perfect Veil) dzieki ktorej barwniki w skladzie nie dotykaja bezposrednio skory (zeby przez przypadek nie uczulic).

Zapakowany jest w buteleczke o mikroskopijnych rozmiarach.

Seriously, this thing is tiny. Inside there is just 22 grams of product. And the price, while not heart-attack inducing, can be a deal breaker for many.
Because the truth is that a single package of Acseine Super Sunshield EX SPF 50+ PA++++ will set you back 4320 yen, tax included. Ouch!

Ok, let's take a closer look.
There is a pump dispenser! Whoa! This company listens to what people want. Amazing!


Serio, ta butelusia jest maciunka. W srodku mamy tylko 22 gramy produktu. I ach ta cena... Moze nie przyprawiajaca o atak serca, ale jest blisko.
Bo jedno opakowanie Acseine Super Sunshield EX SPF 50+ PA++++ bedzie nas kosztowac 4320 jenow (VAT wliczony). Oj boli to, boli...

Przyjrzyjmy mu sie z bliska.
Ma pompke! Niesamowite. Japonska marka z pompka. Cuda przyrody!

What comes out is more like a serum than a non-chemical sunblock. I'll show you the swatches in a minute.
But believe me, this is everything that they said it would be.
For once @Cosmetizens didn't lie.
This is as perfect as an alcohol-free sunblock can get. Gentle, light, non-sticky, non-greasy, perfect on the skin.
The week I was testing it, my skin looked so good and felt so good, I just wanted to keep touching it.
I'm wearing it today, and I got so used to the feeling of something good on my face, that I dread going back to testing my other alcohol-free sunblocks. Because after Acseine, the majority of them will end up in the "mediocre" and "garbage" piles.

Here is our contestant number two.


To co wychodzi z pompki bardziej przypomina serum niz nie-chemiczny filtr. Swatche beda za minutke.

I co tu duzo pisac, wszystkie plotki o Acseine Super Sunshield EX SPF 50+ PA++++ i przechwalki producenta okazaly sie czysta prawda.
Chyba po raz pierwszy panny z @Cosme nie klamaly,
To jest filtr fizyczny marzenie. Delikatny, leciutki, nie lepiacy, nie tlusty, idealny na skorze.
Przez tydzien, kiedy go testowalam, moja skora wygladala i czula sie swietnie. Tak swietnie, ze przez caly czas chcialam ja dotykac, zeby miec pewnosc, ze to nie sen.
Mam go na twarzy i dzis, i tak sie przyzwyczailam do tego wspanialego uczucia, ze az mi sie nie chce testowac reszty moich bezalkoholowych filtrow. Bo wiem, ze po Acseine, wiekszosc z nich wyjdzie bardzo slabo, albo wyladuje w koszu.

Tutaj zawodnik numer dwa.

Acseine Super Sunshield N SPF50 PA+++, which is a milk type non-chemical, waterproof, hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, alcohol (ethanol) free, non-comedogenic sunblock.
It also features the PV (Perfect Veil) technology and is equipped with something called UV shield aqua filter, which is supposed to create a uniform film on the skin for even protection.

Again, the Acseine Super Sunshield N SPF50 PA+++ bottle is tiny. Inside there's just 25 ml of product, which wouldn't hurt if it cost, oh, let's say 800 yen. But no. This thing will set you back 3780 yen, tax included. Ouch again.

You need to shake the bottle, so there is no fancy pump here.


Acseine Super Sunshield N SPF50 PA+++ to filtr w formie mleczka, ktory jest nie-chemiczny, wodoodporny, hypoalergiczny, bezzapachowy, bezalkoholowy, niezapychajacy.
Rowniez zawiera technologie PV (Perfect Veil) oraz posiada cos, co firma nazwala "UV shield aqua filter", ktory to ma tworzyc rowna powloke na skorze dla idealnej ochrony.

I jak poprzednio, butelusia Acseine Super Sunshield N SPF50 PA+++ jest malenka. W srodku mamy tylko 25 ml produktu. Nie bolaloby to tak bardzo, gdyby kosztowal on, powiedzmy, 800 jenow. Ale nie... Nie ma tak dobrze. Kosztuje 3780 jenow (VAT wliczony). Boli. Bardzo boli...

Bo to mleczko, to trzeba wstrzasnac butelke przed uzyciem, wiec nie ma tu pompki.

What comes out is a pinkish beige liquid, which is ridiculously light and non-greasy.
It does take time to dry. But when it dries... oh my! It's more like a makeup base than a sunblock.
My only complaint would be that it's more suited for pink undertones.

Oh, what am I going to explain...
Just take a look at the swatches.

To co wychodzi z butelki to rozowo-bezowy plyn, ktory jest niesamowicie lekki i zupelnie nietlusty (nigdy nie wiem jak piszemy "nie" z przymiotnikami... sorry).
Schnie dosyc dlugo. Ale jak juz wyschnie! Cuda wianki... Bardziej przypomina baze pod makijaz niz filtr przeciwsloneczny.
Jedyne co malo mi sie podoba, to fakt, ze bardziej odpowiada cerom o rozowych podtonach.

Ale co ja tam bede opisywac...
Tutaj swatche w calej okazalosci.

This was the easiest way ever to solve the white cast problem. Just make the product flesh toned.
A greedier (or more business savvy) company would call it a CC something or the other and laugh all the way to the bank.

To chyba najlatwiejszy sposob na problem bielenia. Zrobic produkt o odcieniu skory (mniej wiecej). Bardziej pazerna firma nazwalaby ten filtr "CC tamto-i-owamto" i smiala sie patrzac jak im konto w banku rosnie.

Here I had to swatch them again, because I forgot to take more photos. That's why the products are in a different order.
You can see that the EX (top) is more beige, and that the N (bottom) is more white.

Tutaj musialam je zeswatchowac raz jeszcze, bo zapomnialam zrobic wiecej zdjec. Dlatego tez produkty sa w odwrotnej kolejnosci niz na poprzednim zdjeciu.
Jak widac wersja EX (gora) jest bardziej bezowa, a wersja N (dol) bardziej biala.

And all done. If you think that the N version looks matte, yes, you are right. Matte. Non-shiny. Non-greasy. Non-chemical. Waterproof. Perfection.

Can it get any better?
With an English ingredient list, perhaps?

Acseine has you covered here, too.

Watch this!

I gotowe! Jesli myslisz, ze wersja N wyglada na matowa, masz zupelna racje. Mat. Jest mat. Nie ma swiecenia. Nie ma tlustosci. Nie ma chemicznych filtrow. Nie ma alkoholu. Perfekcja.
Czy moze byc jeszcze lepiej?
Oczywiscie, ze moze!
Sklad po angielsku moze byc!
