PACKAGING

Packaging The Potions Peptide Ampoule, Hyaluronic Acid Ampoule, dan Jojoba Oil Serum ketiganya terdiri dari paper box berwarna dasar putih. Bedanya, untuk Peptide dan HA Ampoule , di bagian atas terdapat aksen berwarna silver sedangkan untuk Jojoba Oil Serum berwarna rose gold. Nama brand terletak pada warna aksen kemasan dengan text direction rotated 90° ke kanan dan berwarna putih, yaitu tulisan "THE POTIONS". Untuk layout kemasan luarnya ini cukup mengingatkan dengan brand asal Canada, The Ordinary by Deciem.

ENGLISH

The Potions Peptide Ampoule, Hyaluronic Acid Ampoule, and Jojoba Oil Serum packaging are made of white paper box. The distinction of the three is in the accent color on top of the packaging. For Peptide and HA Ampoule are colored in silver. While for Jojoba Oil Serum appeared in rose gold color. The brand name is printed on the accent color of the packaging with text direction rotated 90° to the right in white color that says "THE POTIONS". To be honest, the outer packaging layout kind of reminding me to a Canadian Beauty Brand, The Ordinary by Deciem.


Informations those are printed on its outer packaging consists brand name, product name, product size, direction, ingredient list, warning, barcode, expiry date, batch number, distributor name, and some informations given in Korean Hangeul. No information for Period After Opening (PAO) is provided.

The Potions Peptide Ampoule, Hyaluronic Acid Ampoule, and Jojoba Oil Serum Texture

Tekstur produk dari paling ringan ke kental yaitu Peptide Ampoule, Hyaluronic Acid Ampoule, kemudian Jojoba Oil Serum. Untuk tekstur Peptide Ampoule sejujurnya terlalu ringan sampai rasanya hampir tidak pakai ampoule sama sekali. Makanya, di 'Product Details', gue rekomendasikan Peptide Ampoule lebih untuk kulit combination to oily.


Kalau mau pakai water-based ampoule (Peptide dan HA), pastikan kulit dalam keadaan lembab. Memang akan lebih nyaman jika menggunakan hydrating toner terlebih dahulu. Terakhir, bisa sealing semua hidrasi dengan menggunakan oklusif dari Jojoba Oil Serum. Supaya kelembaban kulit bisa bertahan lebih lama Tetapi, face oilnya hanya gue pakai di malam hari aja biasanya. Soalnya, kalau dipakai pagi hari dikhawatirkan akan mengganggu kinerja SPF dari sunscreen yang kita gunakan.







ENGLISH

Product texture from the lightest to the heaviest are: Peptide Ampoule, Hyaluronic Acid Ampoule, kemudian Jojoba Oil Serum. For Peptide Ampoule, to be honest I found it to be too lightweight for my skin to the extent that I almost feel like applying nothing on my skin. Thus, in 'Product Details', I mentioned that this will be best recommended for combination to oily skin type.


Prior using the water-based ampoule (Peptide and HA), make sure you're going to apply it on a damped skin. Because the feels would be more comfortable on the skin given that you had applied hydrating toner in advance. Lastly, you can also seal all the hydration underneath by applying the occlusive substance, Jojoba Oil Serum. Therefore, your moisture will stay longer throughout the night while you are sleeping. But, face oil is best to use only at night because it might potentially confuse your Sun Protecting Factor (SPF) in sunscreen, if you used it in the morning.







pH LEVEL TEST

pH Level kulit normal biasanya berada pada kisaran 5-5,5. Namun, sebenarnya konsep tentang pH kulit tidak sesederhana itu. Hanya saja, untuk cari aman sebagai awam, gue sendiri biasanya menoleransi produk dengan pH 5-6, kecuali cleansers yang bisa sampai pH 7 (netral).


Untuk pH level The Potions Peptide Ampoule dan Jojoba Oil Serum adalah pH 5, sedangkan untuk pH level The Potions Hyaluronic Acid Ampoule adalah pH 6. Untuk pengukuran pH ini gue hanya ukur sekali masing-masing produk tidak 2 kali seperti review lainnya. Sebenarnya tidak ada alasan khusus, sih selain mager hehehe. Tetapi pengukuran kedua biasanya hanya naik 1 tingkat. Jadi pH kisaran 5-6 untuk Peptide Ampoule dan Jojoba Oil Serum dan pH kisaran 6-7 untuk Hyaluronic Acid Ampoule karena biasanya mixed dengan layering skincare sebelum atau sesudahnya. Jadi, kalian bisa tahu perubahan pH produk yang terjadi jika produk dilayer dengan produk lainnya.

ENGLISH

Normal skin pH level range between 5 to 5.5. But, actually skin pH concept is not quite that simple. Hence, as an amateur, I personally can tolerate product pH that that range between 5 to 6, except for cleansers that might reach up to 7 (neutral).


pH level of The Potions Peptide Ampoule and Jojoba Oil Serum are pH 5, while pH level The Potions Hyaluronic Acid Ampoule is pH 6. To measure the pH level, I only did once per product. Not twice as I usually did in other reviews. Actually, there was no particular reason beside I was too lazy to do so (lol). But, usually the second measurement only add one pH level up. So, the overall pH might range between 5 to 6 for Peptide Ampoule dan Jojoba Oil Serum and pH range between 6-7 for Hyaluronic Acid Ampoule due to mixed use in skincare layering. So that you are able to notice how the product pH changed within your skincare layering with other products.






SKIN ANALYZER TEST

The Potions Peptide Ampoule and Hyaluronic Acid Ampoule Skin Analyzer Test

Skin Analyzer Test hanya dilakukan pada water-based ampoule karena produk oil biasanya tidak akan menunjukkan perubahan apapun kalau diukur dengan alat ini. Untuk Peptide Ampoule, pemakaian digunakan di area pipi. Perubahan yang terjadi humidity level (kelembaban) meningkat dari 32% menjadi 59% (+27%)


Sedangkan untuk Hyaluronic Acid Ampoule, pemakaian hanya di area hidung dan kulit sekitar mulut. Perubahan kelembaban meningkat dari 15% menjadi 39% (+24%)



ENGLISH

The Skin Analyzer Test was only conducted for water-based ampoule because pure oil-based product is usually do not show any difference in measurement by using this tool. For Peptide Ampoule, the usage was focused on cheeks area. The changes made had shown that skin humidity level increased from 32% to 59% (+27%).


Meanwhile, the Hyaluronic Acid Ampoule usage was focused on nose and skin around the mouth areaSkin humidity level increased from 15% to 39% (+24%)






FINAL VERDICT

Pros (+)
+ Hyaluronic Acid Ampoule efektif mengatasi dry patches di area hidung dalam 2 hari (AM-PM). Dibantu dengan pelembab yang melembabkan dan kaya akan humektan.

+ Jojoba Oil Serum mampu membantu mempertahankan kelembaban lebih lama di malam hari.

+ Ketiga produk tidak menimbulkan reaksi negatif sama sekali di kulit dan mudah dilayer dengan produk apa saja.

+ Packagingnya simple dan to the point. Kualitas pipetnya juga baik.

+ Produk bebas alkohol dan fragrance. Aman untuk kulit sensitif.


Cons (-)
- Masing-masing produk memiliki targeted ingredients. Sehingga kurang beginner-friendly. Cenderung mendapatkan benefit hanya dari satu jenis ingredient saja. Meskipun memang konsep brand-nya seperti ini.

- Harganya termasuk mahal untuk size 20ml saja.

- Peptide Ampoule nya meskipun menunjukkan peningkatan kelembaban, tetapi di kulit tidak bertahan lama dan cenderung terlalu ringan. Terutama bagi kulit normal to dry.





ENGLISH


Pros (+)

+ Hyaluronic Acid Ampoule helps with dry patches in nose area within 2 days of usage (AM-PM). Also helped by moisturizer with rich humectant.

+ Jojoba Oil Serum helps retaining skin moisture throughout the night.

+ All products do not show any negative reaction and all are layering-friendly with other products as well.

+ Packagings are simple and to the point. The pipette tube quality is good.

+ Products are all free of alcohol and fragrance. Sensitive-skin friendly.



Cons (-)

- Each of the producrs are targetted ingredients. So, they're not so beginner-friendly. It is more likely we can only get the benefit from one single ingredient only. Though that's the concept of the brand themselves.

- The price is considered pricey compared to its size which is only 20ml.

- For Peptide Ampoule, eventhough the skin analyzer had shown the increase of skin humidity level,  unfortunately it doesn't last quite well and too lightweight in texture. Especially for normal to dry skin.





RECOMMENDATION 

Ketiga produk mampu bekerja dengan baik hampir pada semua jenis kulit. Namun, khusus Peptide Ampoule, gue nggak terlalu merekomendasikan bagi normal to dry skin type. Kecuali kalian tipe yang punya banyak layering dalam skincare routine.

Hyaluronic Acid Ampoule bisa digunakan oleh semua jenis kulit. Nggak bikin gerah meskipun dipakai di pagi hari. Bisa juga digunakan sebagai buffer sebelum menggunakan retinol.

Jojoba Oil Serum sangat baik untuk mengunci seluruh hidrasi dari water-based ampoule. Buat gue teksturnya cukup ringan tetapi harus dihangatkan dulu di telapak tangan. Jadi, bisa meresap ke dalam kulit dengan lebih baik dan tidak menimbulkan kesan berminyak keesokan paginya. Namun, produk ini nggak gue rekomendasi untuk digunakan di pagi hari, yaa. Soalnya bisa mengganggu kinerja SPF dari sunscreen yang kita gunakan.



ENGLISH

All these 3 products works well for almost all skin types. But particularly for the Peptide Ampoule, I do not recommend that much for normal to dry skin type. Unless you got tons of skincare layering in your skincare routine.

The Hyaluronic Acid Ampoule works well in any kind of skin type I bet. It doesn't suffocate my skin even during the day. Best for buffering prior retinol usage as well.

The Jojoba Oil Serum is best to seal all the hydration given by the water-based ampoules. It is lightweight for me if I warm it up first on my palm. So that it penetrate my skin better and doesn't leave greasy feeling in the morning. However, I do not recommend this for AM Routine as it might confuse your sunscreen SPF.

    1. Aku bisa layering ketiganya sih. Soalnya beneran si peptide nya kyk ga pake apa2. HA nya kentalnya jg ga seberapa kalo dibanding L'Oreal Revitalift yg bener2 tacky. Ini HA nya ga setacky itu di kulit. Tapi biasanya sebelum pake Jojoba oil aku selingin sama moist watery cream gt. Kalo udh meresap lgsg seal pake oil nya. Lembabnya berasa sampe pagi👍🏻
