Review: Ginvera Green Tea Marvel Gel

Recently I found out that Ginvera products are sold, with great success, overseas in countries like Japan. Hence, I decided I need to give some Ginvera products a try. Ginvera is a local brand and I believe we should support local products especially if they are effective and famous overseas, right? How could I have missed such a star brand when it's easily and cheaply available right in my backyard?

The first product I tried was Ginvera Marvel Gel with Green Tea. It was on sale at Watsons so I picked up a tube at a very affordable price. Even without a sale the price is very reasonable, being half of that of comparative products from overseas. The local packaging is slightly different, being totally green instead of white, but the product is the same.

I've been using Shu Uemura White Recovery Ex+ Instant Spot Brightener - Brightening Treatment since early this year and found it outperforms every spot lightening treatment product I've tried thus far.

It's lightly tinted and can be used to cover up scars or dark spots under make-up but at the same time is a treatment product that lightens the dark spots as you use it. I find that my dark freckles and scars are lightened significantly and quickly within a week. It's a pricey product but since it works, I highly recommend it if you find you want something effective to deal with dark freckles or scars. According to Shu Uemura:
  • prune extract : helps to clarify skin
  • sakura leaf extract : helps to improve skin texture and soothe the skin
  • vitamin c derivative : reduces melanin production. 24-hour release of vitamin c
