COLLISTAR Anticellulite Cryo Gel Review

Collistar, the leader of perfumery in Italy is my favourite brand among all the brands to maintain a perfect silhouette for many years already. One of the fact on why I loved Collistar so much is the result proven by its most advanced dermatological in cosmetic research, formulated accurately and scientifically under carefully tested and strictest quality controls. And I love Collistar innovative innovation both in their formulation and in their easy to use packaging esp. it's in green, my favourite colour.

Cellulite is the accumulation of excess fat pressing against tissue under the skin. It is caused by the result of unhealthy lifestyles for long periods, leading to storage of fat and toxic compounds, aging stress or hormonal birth control therapy. It looks like dimpled skin raised and puckered in the form of orange peel skin.

It is women's enemy and so I used the Collistar Anti Cellulite Cryo Gel as the cellulite buster to prevent it from spreading to other parts of my body. It must be controlled every now and then or it would spread to longer, uglier and deeper cellulite.

Collistar Anti Cellulite Cryo Gel  is an innovative product which uses the synergy of cryocosmetics and aromatherapy(the love of my life therapy) to fight cellulite. It combines the aromatherapeutic effects of pure essential oils with the efficacy of a highly advanced formula boosted by the action of cold which stimulating the microcirculation. I loved the cooling sensation that I can feel it's working deep into my cellulite areas by the active ingredients.

The Anti cellulite action formula uses the extraordinary properties of green coffee extract which is rich in caffeine and chlorogenic acid, a substance with great draining power which controls the stagnation of excess fluids like cellulite. I never forget to use it everyday after my spa bath because the blend of exclusive mix of essential oils aroma that pleasantly stimulating a fresh and positive influence on my mind. I felt so reviving and rejuvenating all over my body, mind and soul. A total bliss of pampering before my peaceful, blissful sleep.

How to use : 

Apply the gel to the cellulite areas using upward, stroking movements. For best results, the treatment should begin with daily am and pm application. To boost and accelerate better results of the treatment, I used the Talasso Scrub which is the exfoliating salts for massaging onto the body before showering, just to smooth up the skin and make it more receptive to subsequent treatments.

After my relaxing spa bath, Rambo asked me, "What smells so good?" I told him the secret lies in this Collistar  Thermoactive Talasso Scrub, another reshaping treatment that's not only smell so refreshing from Lavender and Rosemary essences but it also smoothen my skin to baby soft skin. Haha...try it to believe it!

Swissceuticals is the professional beauty industry’s first advanced free radicals scavenger cosmeceutical range that includes pharmaceutical grade natural ingredients utilizing stem cells and oxygenation technologies.Expect quick results with the precise efficacy similar to a doctor’s prescription minus the chemical-laden formulations found in most cosmeceutical skincare in the market.

After 3 years of intensive research, the Swissceuticals range is designed to counter the 3 main causes of skin aging - biological, environmental and mechanical. Biological aging is the result ofchanges, often genetically determined, that occur naturally within the body. Environmental aging occurs as a result of daily exposure to trillions of free radicals from a variety of sources: the UV rays, cigarette, pollution, smoke, harsh weather, and external stress. 

These free radicals damage the cell lipids, proteins, and DNA, all of which limit the ability of cells to function and cripple the integrity of overall cell composition. Years of accumulated environmental stress on cellular structures result in the premature aging of the skin. 

Beaubelle’s Swissceauticals is a gentle and safe line of skin care products that integrates the best of science with natural ingredients for the most effective result with 0% downtime. They have sourced only the finest, highest quality ingredients from all around the world and used them in optimum quantities. 

The range includes 2 revolutionary result-oriented skin loving products -Dr. Oxygen and Dr.Defendo. Stem cells are known for their fantastic healing  properties. In humans, animals and plants, stem cells have the magical ability to self-renew indefinitely and can potentially regenerate an entire organ from just a few cells.

Doctor Oxygen – Extraordinary Skin Repair Concentrate

Doctor Oxygen is a powerful antioxidant, moisturizing, detoxifying, pore and fine lines minimizing skin elixir that prevents and reverses the signs of ageing.The effectiveness of this unique skin repair concentrate lies in Beaubelle’s OxyQi technique, based on the ‘Qi’ life-force principle and a complex of botanical stem cells.Under normal circumstances, Doctor Oxygen increases oxygen consumption of cells by 12.1%. But in stressful conditions whereby cells are deprived of oxygen, this wonderful elixir can further  boost cellular vitality by 41.1%. In other words, Doctor Oxygen maintains the health of skin cells in good times and switches into power mode to protect them from damages in bad times, to give you brighter, rosier and translucent skin.

Beaubelle’s exclusive OxyQi is a complex of botanical stem cells with powerful oxygenating benefits.OxyQi stimulates a certain protein that has been linked to extended life span in humans and to cellular respiration. Key active ingredients include organically cultivated beech shoot extract from fresh young shoots that preserves the elasticity of the skin, thoroughly hydrates, improves tissue oxygenation and helps to prevent formation of wrinkles. Caffeine helps to detoxify the tissues, thus reducing skin puffiness and Vitamin A and E complex to maintain healthy skin through its antioxidant properties.

This fast absorbent skin elixir contains novel siliconic soft touch complex, a blend of spherical powders and elastomer which provides a uniquely silky feel and smooth sensation.Upon application, the elixir provides pore minimizing and fine line filing properties for that instant flawless look.

Recommended Application : 
Every morning and evening,  smooth it over thoroughly cleansed and toned skin of face and neck and follow with Doctor Defendo for optimal result. Ooh la la, I really loved this Dr.Oxygen so much. Everytime I applied this serum, I took a long, deep breath inhaling it deep into my smell sense and the aroma instantly arouse my overall senses to perfection.And after applying it on my face, I feel so hydrating and soothing feeling all at once. I'm looking forward to use it everyday without failed. Haha...kinda obsessed with Dr.Oxygen now!  

Doctor Defendo – Phenomenal Skin Protect Cream
At the core of Doctor Defendo formula is Beaubelle’s exclusive PharmaCure Stem Cell Complex, which is based on the regenerative and healing powers of botanical stem cells. These all-natural, anti-ageing properties, including the vital energy of the botanical stem cells are harnessed to increase cell metabolism and to encourage your skin cells to renew, repair and regenerate so your skin glows with freshness and vitality. When some people are described as ‘full of life’, it is because of the life force emitted from their healthy skin.

PharmaCure Stem Cell Complex is an ultra powerful blend that helps improve and accelerate wound healing, skin repair and regeneration. It also protects your skin against water loss and damages due to free radicals. These combined actions reinforce the skin’s moiturization and barrier function. PharmaCure has very high antioxidant activity.

This lightweight cream also includes a healthy dose of multi-Vitaminic Blend of Vitamin A, Vitamin B3, Provitamin B5, Vitamin C and Vitamin E  for its antioxidant, moisturizing, soothing and stimulating virtues.A moisturizing blend of sodium Hyaluronate, Saccharide Isomerate and Red Algae provides water retaining and film-forming properties to deliver the most important characteristics of youthful, healthy skin such as suppleness, elasticity and tone, whilst offering soothing benefits. Designed to favour cell regeneration,  Shea  Butter provides softening, moisturizing and restructuring properties to delay skin ageing.

Recommended Application :
Every morning and evening,  smooth it over thoroughly cleansed,toned skin of face and after Dr.Oxygen. I like the rich creamy texture that actually lighten my wrinkles on my forehead, day by day. I concentrate on this two area as it really scares me a lot. Everytime I looked at the mirror, I can see the wrinkle lines getting deeper and longer due to my age.But after using it for a few days, I have total confidence in using both Dr.Oxygen and Dr.Defendo for long term beauty vanity. I'm satisfied with the products and I fully recommended it for everyone esp. for anti-ageing care.

“Smart Ingredients”
With products enriched in the brand’s exclusive complex, Urban Advance, its innovative formulas act at the heart of cells to “wake-up”and reactivate the skin’s vital functions.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 is a truly compact camera that delivers supreme light sensitivity, gorgeous   background defocusing, high image accuracy and SLResque operation which empower me to express myself  in bolder and broader perspective in every shots I have taken( photos shown below).I had the privilege to see and experience the product at the Sony Event invited by Rouge Communications last Thursday.

The theme "Power In Your Pocket" speaks by itself with the first and foremost result proven is the clarity shown here.I'm using the auto-mode function with big sensor and bright lens for better pictures in a pocket-sized body from Sony with world's first 1.0 type20.2 effective megapixel sensor and bright F1.8 lens.  

The enormous 1.0 type Exmor CMOS Sensor captures more light from the scene and reproduces every stunning detail with greater fidelity.Sony's blazing-fast BIONZ imaging engine employs powerful algorithms to transform data captured by the CMOS sensor into sophisticated images with accurate colour, rich tonal gradations and minimal noise.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 capture every detail in virtually any lighting.The background was dark when I took this photo but it achieved amazing clarity in dim lighting with Multi Frame NR.This feature that enables high-sensitivity shooting up to an equivalent of ISO 25600 by seamlessly superimposing six images.

Just like a DSLR camera, there's a choice of auto and manual (MF Assist) modes that magnifies the image to simplify fine adjustments, not forgetting a convenient Peaking function that highlights sharply-focused areas of the image on screen.  

This photo was the last photo taken with my 'Team 3' using the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 where there's not much of effort taken (only auto-mode but the background lightings & scenes were captured perfectly) and time-saving (it only take a few seconds) for a perfect picture.And that's what I meant by 'The Power Your Pocket" by Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 which is available in the market for RM2499.Cool Sony I wish to own now...Haha!
