A New Experiment with Ettusais

Ettusais, it shall be read/pronouns as "et-tu-seh". Ettusais is well known for their medicated acne skin care, target mainly on adult acne!

A little curious on the reason of this new exploration into a totally brand new skin care? Well, my skin is getting bad lately, as well as Baby Cheng. Hers is at a much more worsen condition than mine, probably due to stress from exams and lack of sleep.

The newly repacked balancing Artistry essentials were too oily for my preference. Oil control does not work very well on my skin. Pimples keep resurfacing even though I do apply plenty of Artistry Blemish Gel. I preferred the old balancing Artistry essentials, sadly, it's not in production anymore. Yet, I've to admit that some Artistry products are awesome! I'm into their Blemish Gel and Time Defiance Skin Refinishing Lotion.

So, to start off, I google-d around for details. Some netizens said that Ettusais is a Japanese brand name under the name of Shiseido. It might be true. Reading from the packaging, it was written in Japanese.

Plenty of positive feedback from bloggers on Ettusais products. Hence, I decided to give it a try. By the way, this is the link to their website: http://www.ettusais.sg. They have a wide range of anti-acne products. Note that the price in S$ is higher (after conversion to RM).

Here are my damages:
  • A 3-step skin care consists of Acne Gentle Wash, Skin Version Up Extra (serum with collagen), and Aqua Shooter Extra (toner). First, rub the soap until foamy, gather the foam and apply it to the face. Wash as usual (gently, of course!). 2nd step, immediately apply the Skin Version Up Extra. This will enhance the skin to absorp better. Lastly, apply the Aqua Shooter Extra. The combination of this 3 steps shall give a moist skin. If not, apply the moisturizer.

  • Pore minimizer set. Zero Pore Coat for day use (can be used as a base), and Zero Pore Mask for night (A few drops on the face will do. No need to wash.).

  • Acne Nighttime Defense. Apply this at night as the last step. It helps to regulate the oil production hence the skin will be less oily.

As a token for purchasing these stuff, the kind product assistant gave me some samples. She was not stingy though. She gave me plenty of samples on the products that I did not purchase. Love it till the max!

Medicated Acne Real Fit Concealer (concealer), Medicated Acne Clear Spots Superior (acne gel),
Medicated Acne Whitening Essence (scars lightener) and Medicated Acne Whittening UV EX (oil block, can be used as pre make-up base)


My real damages:

Huge damages!

  • Acne Gentle Wash - RM39
  • Skin Version Up Extra - RM72
  • Aqua Shooter Extra - RM88
Good news was that I managed to get these at a promotional price - RM139!
  • Zero Pore Coat - RM57
  • Zero Pore Mask - RM76
Another promotional package at - RM89!

However the Acne Nighttime Defense wasn't in the promotional item list. It is retailing at RM90. My total damage, RM319!

This time I really need to stay grounded. No money shall be spent anymore!
