QUICK Product Review: Moringa O2 Malunggay Herbal Moisturizing Lotion

Product Name: Moringa O2 Malunggay Herbal Moisturizing Lotion

Price: P129.75

Bought from: SM Department Store, Beauty Section / Watsons

The Moringa O2 Malunggay Herbal Moisturizing Lotion is the second product that I've tried from the brand. After trying out and falling in love with their Malunggay Herbal Facial Toner, I thought that this lotion might just be a good product, too. And like the toner, this lotion also has olive oil and sunflower oil.

Aside from the awesome benefits of malunggay or moringa, what really made me buy this is its quick absorption formula. I hate sticky and thick lotions because it just makes me sweat like crazy and I know that we all hate that greasy feeling!

The Benefits of Moringa O2 Malunggay Herbal Moisturizing Lotion:

- Deeply nourishes and moisturizes dry skin

- Smoothens and softens dry, scaly skin

- Stimulates cell regeneration and skin renewal

- Improves skin elasticity, suppleness

- Helps slow down signs of aging

- May help relieve itch

- Skin lightening

- UVA and UVB protection

- Quick absorption and non-greasy

It's true that this lotion is non-greasy and is easily absorbed by the skin. It dries up fast and is not too slippery nor creamy unlike other lotions. It is actually almost like water when rubbed against the skin but even though it has that thin consistency, it is really moisturizing. One thing though that I've noticed is that the moisture doesn't last for long. For example, if I used it in the morning, before the evening comes, I can already feel some parts of my body a little dry but it's still okay.

Oh, and did I mention that the scent is divine? I love its green tea scent that is almost the same as the famous Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Perfume! Talk about smelling sophisticated and classy! I really love the scent but I just wish that it would linger for long hours. Also, I'd like to point out that it's affordable but I think some may think it's a little pricey for its size because the bottle only contains 125ml of the product. But with all its benefits, I understand why it costs just a little more than the other commercial lotions. 

Overall, I love the Moringa O2 Malunggay Herbal Moisturizing Lotion! It has good benefits for your skin, it has UVA/UVB protection, it's non-greasy and has quick absorption formula, it smells so good and it's affordable plus it's not that big or bulky so you can bring this with you anywhere you go.

Repurchase? Heck yeah!

Recommend? Sure! It's perfect for the hot weather here in the Philippines.

Try it, it's good!

Stay awesome and accomplish your mission! :)

First Impression: Moringa-O2 Malunggay Herbal Soap

     Ever since I've learned about the benefits of malunggay or moringa, I kind of get addicted to the brand Moringa-O2. They only carry three products, Malunggay Herbal Facial Toner, Malunggay Herbal Moisturizing Lotion and Malunggay Herbal Soap.

     The first product that I've tried from this brand is the Malunggay Herbal Facial Toner which I'm absolutely in love with. It's just the best toner that I've tried (so far) because aside from all of its amazing benefits, it's very kind to my skin. It didn't break me out or make my skin sensitive. In fact, it really helps in making my skin clean, moisturized and firmer. No wonder that it is a multi-awarded beauty product. I raved so much about it here in my blog and you can read it here.

     Since the Malunggay Herbal Facial Toner really impressed me, I decided to try out their Malunggay Herbal Moisturizing Lotion. I've read in different blogs from top bloggers that this is a great affordable lotion that smells like the Elizabeth Arden Green Tea perfume. And when I finally bought it, I learned that yes, it really smells like that! What a fressssssh scent! :) The scent is just a bonus. What I love about it is that it has quick absorption and non-greasy benefits but it is really moisturizing.

     After trying the Malunggay Herbal Facial Toner and Malunggay Herbal Moisturizing Lotion and falling in love with them, I decided to try the Malunggay Herbal Soap to see if it's as good as the first two products as well. And also because it's the only product from Moringa-O2 that I haven't tried yet.

     I bought the smaller soap (60g) since I want to try it out first if it's good for my skin. It costs P50.00 from Watsons. I just purchased this soap two days ago and it was only last night that I have first tried it. Malunggay Herbal Soap is for the face and body. When I took it out from the box, I smelled it and you know what? It smells like the Malunggay Herbal Moisturizing Lotion, too but it actually smells better. I'm in love with its scent! However, the smell doesn't linger for long.

     I was a little worried to use it on my face because most bar soaps can be really drying on the skin. The only bar soap that I use on my face is the Kojie San Kojic Acid Soap and yes, I love that product and it's really meant to use for your face and body. However, you'll get this tight and dry feeling after you use it so you really have to moisturize your skin after. Anyway, I only use it when I have acne problems going on on my face and then I cease from using it once my face heals.

     Continuing on with the Malunggay Herbal Soap, I washed my face last night using it and it feels gentle on the skin as I rub my face in circular motion. After rinsing off the soap, I felt just a wee bit of tightening but nothing like that dry and harsh feeling that I get from the bar soaps that I've previously tried. I love it! And my face didn't feel like super matte and dry. My skin feels supple.

     I've also tried it on my whole body and the effect is just the same. It's not drying and my skin is soft and smooth. BUT I still highly recommend that you apply lotion all over your body to thoroughly moisturize your skin.

     So there, that's all I can say about the Moringa-O2 Malunggay Herbal Soap for now. I'll give you an update soon if it really is a good soap for me or if I should get rid of it. But so far, I'm really loving it.

Stay awesome and accomplish your mission! :)

Updated Skin Care Routine (April 2013)

     

     A lot of my subscribers and followers had been asking me what are the products I currently use to take care of my skin. They thought I have a secret behind my almost flawless skin right now. To tell you honestly, I still have breakouts every now and then and a few pimple scars are still noticeable... BUT I have found my skin's new best friends which help in treating pimples in just a matter of days and lightening scars and other blemishes faster.

1. Glory of New York Facial Cleansing

(Please visit Queen B. on Facebook for inquiries)

-     A light type of facial cleanser. Texture and formula is almost like a moisturizer or lotion but thinner. It doesn't really lather so it can be a little intimidating at first because you might think it will not thoroughly clean your skin but actually, it will really leave your skin clean, fresh, supple and smooth. However, since it is very light, it is not capable of removing excess makeup from your face. No biggie! I love how it smells! Very elegant and sophisticated and the scent lingers --- in a good way of course! Hmmmm! :)

2. Glory of New York Skin Enzyme Peel

(Please visit Queen B. on Facebook for inquiries)

-     I consider this as a miracle product. Haha! It is basically a non-abrasive exfoliant that helps remove dead skin cells from your face. If you know Japan's no. 1 skin care product which is Cure Nature Aqua Gel, it is kind of like that, though I haven't yet used that one. But based on the reviews I've read, they have the same purpose and effect. I'm telling you, Glory of New York Skin Enzyme Peel is the best skin care product I've tried. Everytime I use it, it's like I have a new-born skin. This is what helps me achieve that almost flawless and poreless skin. ;-) Review soon!

3. MoringaO2 Malunggay Herbal Facial Toner

(P89.75 at Watsons)

-     The best toner I've tried so far! I'm on my 5th bottle already and it's a strong proof that this toner loves my skin and my skin loves it, too! For toners, I usually change them after consuming 2 to 3 bottles and now that I'm on my 5th bottle, need I say more? I love it! It's light, it's moisturizing, it doesn't break me out, doesn't make my skin oily and it is an anti-aging product!

4. Glory of New York Aloe Vera All Skin Gel

(Please visit Queen B. on Facebook for inquiries)

-     It's suitable for all skin type but people with oily skin will benefit more from this product. GNY highly recommends this to people with oily, oily-combination and super oily skin. Because of its gel-type formula, it will keep your skin matte all day. As for me, it really controlled the oiliness of my skin and it's like my skin is matte but hydrated. It's a little cool on the skin since it has aloe vera. It leaves a thin, invisible film on your skin that serves as protection from the harmful Sun rays, exhaust fumes, dirt, dust, etc. This serves as my daytime moisturizer.

The Aloe E Moisturizing Lotion is the counterpart of the Aloe Vera All Skin Gel. It suits people with dry skin best.

5. Glory of New York Fairness and Glow Cream

(Please visit Queen B. on Facebook for inquiries)

-     The first moisturizer I've tried from GNY. I've posted photos of before-and-after of this product in my Facebook page before and you can really see the transformation. My skin became fairer and I have this healthy glow on my skin. I use it only at night because it has a dewy finish but it's not that greasy and it doesn't make my skin oily. Every morning when I wake up, I have this natural glow on my skin that I've never had before! Not kidding! Read more about this here.

6. Glory of New York Heal Cream

(Please visit Queen B. on Facebook for inquiries)

-     I forgot to feature this in my video! From the name itself, this is a cream that heals pimples and other minor skin problems. When I have a pimple that's about to grow, I just apply heal cream on it and the bump will subside a little and the pimple will dry earlier than usual. Say about, 3 to 4 days. Because before, my pimples usually dries for about a week. This can also be applied to rough, dry and scaly skin.

7. MoringaO2 Malunggay Herbal Moisturizing Lotion

(P129.75 at Watsons)

- There are a lot of reasons why I love this lotion. It's moisturizing, has quick absorption and non-greasy formula, it's an anti-aging and anti-oxidant lotion, safe for your skin, has UVA and UVB protection so it's perfect for daytime use, it's affordable, the bottle is not too big so you can bring it anywhere you go and it smells like Elizabeth Arden's famous Green Tea perfume!!! Hmmmm! :)

8. Yoko Knee and Elbow Moisturizing and Whitening Cream

(P179.75 at Watsons)

-     This whitening cream greatly impressed me because it really delivers. It helped lighten my dark scar on my knees and my not-so-fair elbows! My ankles are a little dark too I also have a small dark and rough scar on my right ankles and this Yoko cream really helped lightened it. It didn't fully lighten the dark spots on my body though but it helped big time! Review the soonest!

     That's it! For more questions, leave them as a comment below! :) If you also have your own regular skin care essentials, please do share them because I love discovering new products! :)

Stay awesome and accomplish your mission! :)
