Beauty Review: Itsumi Skincare Anti-Clock Cleanser & Mist Toner

Age is catching up on me, I am already approaching my 30s soon. As we aged, signs of aging started to reveal slowly from dark circles, formulation of spots, fine lines and losing elasticity. Hence, it's never too late to start showing care to our skin and combat anti-aging.

I was recently being introduced to Itsumi Skincare, a local home grown brand with its products researched and formulated in Italy. Itsumi produces botanical skincare products, which means it uses only plant extracts to formulate the ingredients of the products.

As the logo of the 3 leaves have suggested, Itsumi Skincare is founded by 3 successful entrepreneurs:

- Pornsak Prajakwit (Singapore based actor and Co-founder of PORN’s Sexy.Thai.Food restaurant)

- Addy Lee (Founder & CEO of Monsoon Group)

- Foo Tuan How (Co-founder of PORN’s Sexy.Thai.Food restaurant)

This idea of Itsumi Skincare begin when Pornsak was unable to find a product in the market that is suitable for his father’s sensitive skin all these years. Hence, he decided to create one. With his Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) background and the help of the other 2 co-founders, they worked closely with highly experienced dermatologists and chemists to create the best botanical skincare products.

 Itsumi Skincare products are free from parabens, SLS, alcohol and silicone. They are free from harmful chemical, Itsumi Skincare uses natural ingredients that are safe to be used on our skin.

Itsumi Skincare has introduced its first skincare range: Anti-clock series.

The name 'Anti-clock series' comes from the source of ingredient, Anti-clock flower (Marvel-of-Peru). This flower is active in the night which means the skincare will work better in the night, it helps to repair and revive the daytime damage cells.

Let our skin restore the youthfulness with Itsumi Skincare by intensify complexion’s vital renewal cycle. It revives the complexion’s radiance, enhances uniformity of skin colour, promotes the elimination of toxins and increases micro-circulation in the skin that is badly needed.

Do you notice the number, 1357, indicated on the packaging of the product?

It represents Itsumi Skincare's unique 1357 ritual.
