Hai geengs! Kalian punya jenis kulit yang acne prone sekaligus sensitif seperti aku? Pasti cukup ribet ya untuk cari skin care yang cocok buat kulit kalian.. Sama banget nih, kadang skincare untuk kulit yang acne prone terlalu keras untuk kulit sensitive, sementara SkinCare untuk kulit sensitif kadang terlalu mild untuk kulitku yang acne prone ☹

Hi Ganks! Do you have acne prone and sensitive skin like me? It’s must be very difficult to find suitable skin care for yours. Sometimes, skincare for acne prone skin was too strong for sensitive skin and skincare for sensitive skin was too mild for acne prone skin ☹

Untungnya sekarang aku punya rekomendasi produk yang punya klaim cukup menarik, yaitu SNP Prep Cicaronic! Setelah sebelumnya SNP mengeluarkan rangkaian Peptaronic untuk semua jenis kulit, terutama kulit kering dan dehidrasi, dengan fungsi utama untuk melembabkan dan menghidrasi kulit (daan ini hype banget! Banyak yang cocok dengan rangkaian SNP Peptaronic), sekarang SNP mengeluarkan rangkaian untuk kulit acne prone dan sensitive yaitu Cicaronic!

Luckily now, I have recommendation which have interesting claim that is SNP Cicaronic. Previously, SNP launch Peptaronic products for dry and dehydrated skin which useful for moisturizing. It is very popular product and also have very good feedback from user. SNP Cicaronic was made for acne prone skin and sensitive skin!

Di sini akan ada 2 produk yang aku bahas yaitu ampoule dan juga sheet mask nya. Kira-kira, bakal sesuai dengan klaim nya enggak ya? Apakah benar bisa cocok di kulit aku yang sensitif sekaligus acne prone skin? Langsung aja kita masuk ke review nya ^^

In this post, I’ll review 2 products from SNP Cicaronic which are ampoule and sheet mask. I’m very curious about their claim, is it as good as claim said? Is it suitable for my sensitive and acne prone skin? Let’s find it together in this post! ^^

 Tentang SNP / About SNP 

SNP adalah brand asal Korea yang terkenal dengan rangkaian Skincare nya. SNP sendiri sudah mengeluarkan beberapa rangkaian produk diantaranya SNP Lab+ , SNP Mini, SNP Prep Peptaronic, dan untuk sekarang rangkaian terbarunya adalah SNP Prep Cicaronic yang di klaim dapat meredakan atau menenangkan kulit yang sensitif dan teriritasi, sekaligus menyelesaikan permasalahan kulit yang acne prone.

SNP is a well-known Korean Brand that focused on the skincare line. SNP had some series for their skincare, for example SNP Lab+, SNP Mini, SNP Prep Peptaronic, and now they launched the newest line : SNP Prep Cicaronic, that claimed can soothe the sensitive and irritated skin, plus can solve the acne prone skin problems.

Dalam rangkaian Cicaronic, kandungan utamanya adalah Cica atau Centella Asiatica yang sudah terkenal dapat menenangkan (soothing) kulit. Produk dalam rangkaian Cicaronic ini ada beberapa jenis yaitu toner essence, ampoule, soothing cream, dan daily mask / sheet mask. Namun yang akan aku bahas hanyalah dua produk, yaitu ampoule dan sheet mask nya. Oh ya, enggak usah khawatir karena semua produk SNP ini sudah ber BPOM jadi pastinya aman untuk dipakai ^^

In the Cicaronic series, the main ingredient is Cica or Centella Asiatica, which is known to soothe the skin. There are several types of products in this Cicaronic series, namely toner essence, ampoule, soothing cream, and daily mask / sheet mask. However, what I’ll share here is only the ampoule and the sheet mask. All SNP products are registered on BPOM so they are definitely safe to use.

SNP Prep Cicaronic SOS Ampoule

Seperti yang bisa kalian lihat dari fotonya, ampoule ini datang dengan kemasan dus atau box yang didalamnya berisi 7 buah ampoule atau kapsul kecil, dan masing-masing ampoule berisi 1,5 mL yang disarankan untuk dipakai langsung satu kali pakai. Pada kemasan dus / box, keterangan-keterangan dasar seperti nama produk, klaim, cara pakai, kandungan dan lain-lain. Terdapat pula barcode untuk mengecek keaslian produk yang berisi nomor BPOM. Nomor BPOM dari ampoule ini adalah NA26200100277.

As you can see from the photo above, this ampoule comes in a box which contains 7 small ampoules or capsules, and each ampoule contains 1.5 mL which is recommended for one-time use. On the box there are some basic informations such as product name, claims, method of use, ingredients, and others. There is also a barcode to check the authenticity of the product containing the BPOM number. The BPOM number of this ampoule is NA26200100277.

Kemasan ampoule yang sendiri terbuat dari plastik namun cukup kokoh / keras, jadi aku rasa kehigienisannya akan terjaga. Ketika aku berusaha membukanya cukup keras jadi perlu tenaga yang cukup kuat untuk membuka ampoule ini (atau aku yang terlalu lemah??) XD

The ampoule packaging itself was made of plastic but quite sturdy, so I think its hygienity will be well-maintained. When I try to open it, it is hard enough so I need a little force to open this ampoule (or am I too weak ??) XD

Kandungan utamanya adalah Centella Asiatica atau Cica, dan ampoule ini sendiri lebih berfungsi untuk menenangkan kulit wajah serta memberikan kelembaban pada kulit. Yang cukup menyenangkan, produk ini mengandung Sodium hyaluronate, Hyaluronic Acid dan Hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid yang ketiganya “bekerjasama” untuk melembabkan kulit, baik di permukaan kulit maupun lapisan kulit yang lebih dalam! (Disebut oleh SNP sebagai “3 lapis Hyaluronic acids”)

The main ingredient is Centella Asiatica or Cica, and this ampoule itself is more useful for soothing and also moisturize our skin. What I like about this product is : this ampoule contains Sodium hyaluronate, Hyaluronic Acid and Hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, all of ‘em "work together" to moisturize the skin, both on the surface of the skin and on deeper layers of the skin! (Referred to the SNP’s claim as "3 layers of hyaluronic acids")

Sstt, Hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid sendiri merupakan kandungan yang lebih update daripada hyaluronic acid biasa, ukurannya lebih kecil sehingga bisa “masuk” ke lapisan kulit lebih dalam, memberikan efek plumpy pada kulit dengan lebih maksimal! Keren banget kaann..

Shhh, Hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid itself is more updated than regular hyaluronic acid, it's smaller in size so that it can "enter" deeper layers of the skin, giving a maximum plumpy effect on the skin! Really cool, right?

Teksturnya sendiri cukup cair, mirip air, dan mudah menyerap ke kulit. Hampir tidak tercium aroma apapun, dan warnanya bening. Pengalaman aku memakai ampoule ini selama 2 minggu sangat menyenangkan! Kulitku jauh terasa lebih plumpy dan sehat. Lengkapnya nanti di bagian before after di bawah, soo, keep on reading yaa..

The texture is quite liquid, more like water, and easily absorbs into the skin. Almost no smell, and it’s transparent like water. My experience of using this ampoule for 2 weeks was really amazing! My skin feels much plumpy and healthier. The details will be in the before after section below, soo, keep on reading, ok?

Oh ya, buat yang belum tau cara membuka ampoule ini, kalian bisa lihat di foto yaa.. kalian ketuk perlahan bagian atas ampoule, agar cairan ampoule turun ke bagian bawah ampoule. Jika sudah, bagian “leher” ampoule dipatahkan, lalu kalian bisa pakai ampoule nya. PRO TIPS! 1 ampoule memang disarankan 1x pakai, tapi jika belum habis, kalian bisa pakai 1 botol ampoule maksimal 2 kali pemakaian (untuk pagi dan malam hari atau malam hari 1 dan malam hari 2), dan bagian atas ampoule bisa diselipkan di lubangnya seperti gambar paling kanan. Sobat hemat can relate lah yaa XD

By the way, for those of you who don't know how to open this ampoule, you can see it in the photo above. Gently, tap the top of the ampoule, so that the liquid drops to the bottom of the ampoule. Next, break the "neck" of the ampoule, then you can use the ampoule. PRO TIPS! 1 ampoule is recommended to one-time used, but if it too much for your face, you can use 1 ampoule bottle for a maximum of 2 times (for morning and evening or night 1 and night 2), and the top of the ampoule can be tucked into the hole as shown on the right picture. You can save a penny for this tips XD

SNP Prep Cicaronic Daily Mask

For the sheet mask, at first I didn't expect too much. However, we shouldn't judge a book by it’s cover XD The packaging is simple and clean which I like, with a design like other Cicaronic series. One of the uniqueness of this sheet mask is that it can be used every day, according to its name : daily mask. The BPOM number for this product is NA26200200249.

Lembaran sheet mask nya ini sangat tipis, seperti second skin. Sekilas wanginya mirip rumput laut gitu. Essence nya mudah menyerap cukup cair dan tidak lengket, dengan netto 20ml. Jadi tidak berlebihan sih essence nya, cukup untuk 1x pemakaian. Aku sangat suka after use nya, dimana dia sangat cepat menyerap dan membuat kulit jadi lebih plumpy. I LOVEE THIS MASK! Jangan lupa, kalau pakai sheet mask, cukup 10 – 20 menit aja yaa geengs!

The sheet mask is very thin, like a second skin. It smells like seaweed at glance. The essence is easy to absorb, quite liquid and not sticky, with 20 mL of netto. So the essence is not excessive, it is enough for 1x use. I really like the after use, where it absorbs very quickly and makes the skin plumpy. I LOVEE THIS MASK! Also, don't forget, if you use a sheet mask, just for 10 - 20 minutes, ok? 

By the way, the Cica / Centella Asiatica isn’t at the beginning of the list of ingredients, maybe the concentration is not too much. What caught my attention was the Coptis Japonica root extract which has functions as an anti-inflammatory that can soothe the skin and prevent inflammation of acne. There is also contain licorice extract to brighten the skin.

Seperti ampoule nya, dalam sheet mask ini terkandung 3 lapis Hyaluronic acids juga, walau sedikit berbeda siih, yaitu Sodium hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, dan Sodium acetylated hyaluronate.

Like the ampoule, this sheet mask contains 3 layers of Hyaluronic acids, although they are slightly different ingredients, namely Sodium hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, and Sodium acetylated hyaluronate.

Selain 2 produk yang aku review ini, ada juga Toning Essence dan Soothing Cream nya. Yang penasaran dengan review Soothing Cream nya, bisa cek di blog teman aku ini yaa (klik!)

Before – After and Personal Thoughts

Untuk ampoule nya, aku hanya pakai di malam hari (kecuali jika aku pakai sheet mask nya, maka aku akan pakai ampoule nya di keesokan paginya). 1 ampoule aku pakai untuk 2x pemakaian, jadi total 7 ampoule untuk 14 hari (lebih sih, karena kan ada yang aku pakai di pagi hari). Kemudian, aku pakai daily mask nya di malam hari, dengan pemakaian seminggu 2x. Aku tidak pakai essence maupun serum lain, jadi foto before- after ini murni karena SNP Cicaronic.

For the ampoule, I only use it at night (unless I use the sheet mask, then I'll use the ampoule the next morning). I use 1 ampoule for 2x usage, so a total of 7 ampoule for 14 days (18 days to be exact because sometimes I use it in the morning). Then, I use the daily mask at night, twice a week. I don't use any other essence or serum, so this before-after photo is purely because of SNP Cicaronic.

Can you see the red circle? The redness on my skin (because my skin is sensitive) WAS GONEE! I need to give two thumbs up for the soothing claims!

Also, you can see the yellow circle, this is active acnes on my skin. For 2 weeks, I almost never used acne spot treatment (only 2 times in these 2 weeks), so this result is also pure from SNP Cicaronic. For active acne near the eyebrows, it has deflated and only acne scars remain (tend to be PIE), as well as active acne on the chin area, but the scars has been a little faded.

From these results, I can say that SNP Prep Cicaronic fits its claim of being able to treat sensitive skin and acne prone skin! YAAAAYYY!

The SNP Prep Cicaronic Ampoule costs Rp. 180,000, - while the SNP Prep Cicaronic Daily Mask costs Rp. 20,000,-. I highly recommend these two products for those of you who have sensitive skin plus acne prone like me. You can check on Sociolla because SNP Cicaronic products are exclusively launched at Sociolla! 

Hopefully this article will help you on your skin problems! See you on my next post, ganks!
