My Latest Sample Room Finds: Derma C by Poten-Cee Products

I think I've said it before, and I'll say it again. When it comes to product sampling authority in this country, Sample Room is an institution. The membership these days is thousands strong and I'm glad that I was able to join in the early days because now I've got 200+ plus points that I can utilize in ordering sample products. And it's not just the ordering process that's enjoyable for me but also the feeling of finding products that work for me after trying it out for free. "Try before you buy" is Sample Room's mantra after all. 

Last year, I've gotten busier due to work and mommy-hood commitments that I've only been able to order once. Sometimes it takes me a while for me to post a review at the Sample Room site so I can't replenish my points. But no matter how far I "stray", I will always come back anyway. 

I decided to order products from one brand: Derma-C. I go them last January, so its been a while and I've really had enough time to try them out. Read my impressions/quick reviews after the jump.

Derma C by Poten-Cee Brightening Serum Face Mask 

What is it?

A face mask that contains Natural Vitamin C, Camu Camu fruit extract and Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) that will help reveal your skin’s natural glow. It is also infused with 7 natural oils for an increased moisturizing effect and is also packed with Hydrolyzed collagen and Vitamin E to nourish and hydrate your face, leaving it irresistibly smooth and soft. Lots of good stuff in here, huh! It is formulated by Korean skincare experts, Derma-C Serum Face Mask is hypoallergenic and has been dermatologically tested for all types of skin.

Price: Php 75.00 for a pouch that contains 1 sheet mask

My Take

So, its hard to really make a full review about a product if you've only used it once. So let's just say that this is rather an impression about the product. I'm a big fan of Korean face masks and I have always observed that most of the time there's a good amount of extra essence inside the pouch which I love to apply liberally on my face and neck. There isn't that much extra essence on this pack but there's no love lost really because I liked this mask. 

The sheet is thick, mind you I have experienced using mask sheets that easily break. I loved the sweet-tangy scent of the essence. It always feels refreshing that way. Vitamin C naturally brightens so its no surprise that it will have a nice effect on dull skin. Add all those oils, Vitamin E and collagen and your skin is really in for a nice treat. I felt so refreshed and pampered after using this. Will I repurchase this? Of course I will!

Derma C by Poten-Cee Brightening Soap Bar

What is it?

Derma-C Brightening Soap Bar also contains Natural Vitamin C, Camu Camu Extract, and Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) that naturally whitens and brightens your skin. It is infused with 7 natural oils for an increased moisturizing effect: Sunflower Oil, Jojoba Oil, Sulfated Castor Oil, Avocado Oil, Olive Oil, Sweet Almond Oil and Grape Seed Oil. It has Collagen and Vitamin E that nourishes and moisturizes your skin, leaving it smooth and soft. Formulated by Korean skincare experts, Derma-C Brightening Soap is hypoallergenic and has been dermatologically tested for all types of skin.

Price: Php 112.00 for a 90g bar

My Take

Just like the face mask, this soap also contains Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Collagen and natural oils. However, I found this soap too drying on my face that I decided to just use it on my body. It didn't cause breakouts on my face naman but I just prefer to use something gentler on my face. I also didn't experience whitening effect so if I will be asked if I would purchase this I would probably say no since I have another favorite body soap. It's also quiet expensive for me at Php 112.00.

Ascorbic Acid Poten-Cee Forte

What is it?
Poten-Cee Forte is a 1000 MG Ascorbic Acid tablet in an 8-Hour-Time-Release formula for a whole-day Vitamin C protection. Poten-C Vitamin C gives the benefit of Immunity + Healthy Skin because it not only helps boost immunity, it is also essential in collagen production for a healthy skin and hair.

Price
Per tablet- Php 9.75/ 30s tablet - Php 292.50 / 100s tablet - 975.00

My Take
I got this product in January and I don't know if you can still recall just how cold the first two months of 2019 was but it's still very fresh in my memory. Needless to say, my immune system took a hit and I had colds. Thankfully, I remembered that I had several Ascorbic Acid tablets from Poten-Cee. I drank just one tablet per day and with that my body was able to fight back and the colds didn't turn into something worse like flu.
