etude house sunprise review sunblock information

Packaging

Love the pastel colors and cute details on the packaging. The cap turns and 'locks' in place so you don't have to worry about spillage. With 55 mL in size, you can probably use this for a long time. There is a ball inside to mix the formulation as well. Remember to shake before use as we had an incident of the formulation separating when we don't shake.

Scent

Very strong floral, powder, plastic scent. I usually don't mind the scent but this is so strong it will start to smell 'plastic. It is really strong to me. You can't smell it as much when applied on your face, thank goodness.

Consistency

etude house sunprise swatch review sunblock test

Quite flowy, blends and absorbs into the skin well.

On skin (Finish)

Once fully absorbed, you don't see or feel anything. It does not interfere with my makeup or contributes to additional sebum production. That's great because some sunscreens can be really scary.

Sun protection

I cannot comment much on this (don't really want to test the effectiveness experimentally too lol). I trust that SPF 50+ and PA +++ is effective as claimed.

As this is a 100% mineral-based sunblock, it is suitable for even sensitive skin. I have no problem using this.

Ingredient list

Quite a long list of ingredients, including preservatives, silicones, and fragrances. Take note if you are particular.

Overall

Etude House Sunprise sunblock is a fuss-free everyday sunscreen for me. Remember to shake before use to ensure the formulation does not separate. I have no issue with its sun protection ability and finish. Its consistency is not the most lightweight but it is still easy to blend. I don't usually mind the scent but this is a little heavy.

This is a 100% mineral-based sunscreen; thus, making it suitable for even sensitive skin folks. You can apply it to both your face and body.

Another thing to note is I cannot find any information on this product on the official webpage (Has this been discontinued?). Purchased it off Ezbuy and saw this selling on a lot of online platforms as well.

Pros:

- Affordable

- 100% mineral-based, suitable for sensitive skin

- Large capacity

- Good finish with no white/oily cast

- Does not make my face more oily

- Decent texture and consistency

- Blends well

Cons:

- Scented heavily

Rating: 3.5/5
Don't mind repurchasing and using it again

As titled. I've come across many profiles talking about monthly laser treatments and most of them had very good feedback after incorporating lasers into their routine. I didn't have the chance to speak to a professional so I just left it as so; until I made my visit to IDS.
I have also tried out some of their products and services. You can search for IDS in the search bar to find the relevant posts.

Today, I will focus to talk about lasers, particularly carbon lasers because this was the one I did.

What can lasers do?

It can lighten pigmentations and dark spots, acne scarrings, stimulates new cell growth and helps with skin lifting. Lasers are no longer something invasive - in fact, there are procedures you can do for an instant perk-me-up. The effect is immediate with no downtime.

So many different lasers but which one is good for me?

I don't know too. Because it depends on your current skin condition and what you want to achieve. You can simply let the doctor know your concerns and she will advise you accordingly. I am seeing Dr Michelle, you can ask for her too.

Carbon Laser, what is it?

It helps to minimise and clear clogged pores, lighten pigmentation and tighten skin. Sound like a savior especially now because wearing a mask really made my ski more congested than usual. 😒

Procedure

Step 1: Consultation and suggestion

After the registration, you will be ushered to see Dr. Michelle for a consultation. Base on your skin condition and what you intend to achieve, Doctor will advise you on the suitable procedure.

My skin is congested and there are old scarrings from the past so she suggested I go for carbon laser.

Step 2: Numbing cream (optional)

After the consultation, I went into another room to apply a layer of numbing cream. I am glad I was given this option because this was my first time and I have no idea how lasers are like. After the numbing cream is applied, I just had to wait for the effects to kick in before the next step.

Step 3: Application of carbon substance

IDS review carbon laser before after apply

Avoiding areas around my eyes and eyebrows.

Step 3: Laser it all away

We are almost done here. I took less than hour because I had to wait for the numbing cream effect to kick in. The actual process is 5 minutes or less?

Is it painful

No, is there any discomfort? No.

Downtime

No downtime at all. I am pleasantly surprised as I thought laser treatments are often invasive.

In fact, my skin immediately feels and looks better, see below.

Results

Here's a quick before-after. At least I remember to take it before the procedure and right after. Always slipped my mind to do it nowadays.

Both without make-up.

Can you see how much the scars have lightened especially around my chin? And the redness around my nose is gone? And how much more hydrated"

Frequency

Speak to Dr. Michelle, she can advise you on this better. I was advised to do monthly maintenance for best results.

Cost

I cannot exactly remember how much it was per session but they have a very good package deal (which works out to be in the range of 200ish per session) for any kind of laser treatments. I like how their arrangement works - your skin changes so why should you be tied to one type of treatment plan?

IDS meant it when they said they customise skincare for you.

Overall

Sessions are fast and results are impressive. Thank goodness I've dropped by for a quick visit before the Heighten Alerts kicked in. My skin has been alright looking fresh and food so far.

Pros:

- Cleans and tightens pores, lighten scars and pigmentation

- Non-invasive

- No downtime

- Painless and fast procedure

- Instant observable results

- Good service and clean environment

- Reasonable priced

- Different package arrangement for different needs

Cons:

- I can't think of any

*JJOYIS was invited to IDS to experience and review this procedure but the views and opinions are solely our own.

Previously on JJOYIS, we have posted about Boots Cucumber moisturizer and it performed better than expected (7/10). As such, we started using Boots cucumber skin freshener (toner) with high hopes. Did it perform up to standards? Let's find out!
