Asian inspired Chicken Salad Bowl or what I like to call as Salad Terjun

Asian inspired Chicken Salad Bowl or what I like to call as Salad Terjun A quick understanding with the word “ Terjun ”. It means, Jump in Malay. I like to use it because I don’t have a recipe to follow. I literally use what I have, can find and think I can add-in to make the meal complete. So, it is safe to say, I used Terjun recipe a lot. This particular salad is perfect for when you want to clean off your veges leftover in your fridge. The other night, both me and my husband want to have something easy, quick and simple. First thing came to our head is Burger King or Take Away Kebab Pizza. But, neither of them what we would want to eat. So, I went and look into our fridge. Everything is leftover. My first thought was to make fried rice. But I don’t feel like eating rice. I took out all the leftover and thought of salad with Asian twist. Anyway, what I used in this bowl are: Mix Spring Salads Cherry Tomatoes A handful of Bean Sprouts Paprika Carrot ...

I bought this serum due to its flawless customer reviews. Many customers has claimed that it help to reduce the appearances of acne mark, scars, spots, brighten dark spot that has been there for a year, and many more! 
So i thought, hey! I must have this!
So i did. Purchased it for 549 sek online. I had high hope on this product. So i took a before and after picture. So i can see the progression. My main concern is my 2 dark spots on my top cheeks and ofcourse pimple spots.
Before picture. Taken on Jan 27, 2017
From the picture above, you can clearly see the 2 dark spots on my cheekbone and another 2 small spots (post pimple) above jaw line.


Picture taken on March 28th, 2017
 Picture above taken at almost 2 months after i started using the serum. I followed the instruction, every other night.
The 2 spots on my cheekbone are still the same. 2 pimple spots above my jaw by the lips are still around as well. They are not red anymore. Because it has been almost 2 months since the pimple are cleared. But the mark/scars gets darker and are still visible. 
I began to doubt about the the legitimacy of the reviews left for this product. But, i didn't give up on this just yet. I stick on the regimen for a good 3 months. After 3 months, there is no different!
So i up the amount. From month 3, i began to use this serum every night! With hope that this time it will works its magic. 

Picture taken August 9th 2017
6 months has gone. The spots are still very visible. The 2 pimple spots on the other hand, are slightly lighten. Im not sure if it is due to this serum or it just disappear by itself. 

Now the serum has oxidized.
It was clear liquid when i first use it. After months of using it, now the serum has oxidized and i think it is time to stop using it.


My Review


Packaging
It came in a dark green glass bottle with a clear glass dropper.

Where did i place it?
I placed it in a drawer of my vanity table. 

Scent? 
It has lavender and citrus scent.

Consistency
It came in as a clear liquid.
Very runny liquid.

How do i apply?
I applied this serum after my Buffet serum since i feel like this serum stays ontop of the skin instead of being absorb into the skin. 

Feel?
It did not dry fast.
Feels oily on skin. My skin look shiny and oily right after i applied. 
Its rather stay ontop of the skin like an oily layer instead of being absorb into the skin.
It does leave my skin feel sticky and oily. But it goes away when i wake up the next day.

Breakout? 
I don't have any bad reaction to this serum. It has not cause any breakout. My breakout has been due to hormones cocktails that i have been taking for my IUI and IVF treatment.

More Radiant? 
I see no different.

Moisturizing?
I do think so. I do like how my skin feels like in the morning.

Brightens uneven skin tone while diminishing the look of fine lines and discoloration?
I don't think so. I see no different.

Do i recommend this?
No. If you are looking for something to reduce the spots appearances.


..this is my own experience, it may react differently to your skin..
..if it doesn't work for me, it doesn't mean it will not for you..
