Now, this Neesya 3-Step Routine review is something that I was looking forward to. By right it was suppose to go up before the first Neesya review I did a while ago. I am pretty excited about this one. Who doesn’t love a simple 3-step routine right? The different between both review is self explanatory. The one you are reading now focus on the basic 3-step skin care routine while the previous one focus on Neesya star products.

I know not many of you are into layering skin care like the Japanese or Korean. I am personally very much into skin care layering. If you are not, well good! Let me introduce you to a basic simple 3-Step Routine from Neesya.

Let me refresh your mind just a little bit on Neesya 😀

Neesya is a skin care brand developed and manufactured in Malaysia by Skinworkz Sdn Bhd, under the management of Chris Yong who is the CEO of the company. He is definitely one interesting and inspiring guy I ever met and talk to :). As you can see from the previous “after” picture, it is pretty obvious that I had benefited from the brightening and clarity effect from Neesya. I hope you will to!

Before I start telling you my thoughts on the Neesya 3-Step Routine products, I want to highlight something. It may not be important to you but it is important to me. All Neesya product comes with a hologram sticker. This is an assurance to their customer that the product is new, unopened, untampered and safe to use. If you try to peel the sticker off…don’t be. It is like a tattoo. Security hologram sticker are meant to be that way. Just take a knife and cut along the cap line will do 😉

Brightening Gel Cleanser (RM29/100ml)

This gel cleanser is interesting. I have never seen gel cleaser for brightening or whitening range. Usually gel-type cleanser is meant for combination or oily skin. Neesya Brightening Gel Cleanser helps to prepare skin to receive maximum moisture and brightening effects from the following product used. What it does is dissolve all the skin-dulling surface impurities off but retain all the essential moisture.

For a gel cleanser, this one particularly is more runny. I can’t help squeezing more than enough amount onto my palm for the first few usage as the gel is in a clear form, especially wee early in the morning with both eyes half closed? Lol. I found a trick to this. What I usually do now is to shake the tube first, bringing all the gel down to the nozzle. Then I flip the cap off and squeeze gently. The gel just flow down with appropriate amount. If I don’t do this step, I tend to over-squeeze.

This Brightening Gel Cleanser is basically soap free but it does foams up a little bit but it wasn’t enough for me. I find that the gel cleanser is not suitable for me to use in the morning as it doesn’t remove all skin care residue from the night before. As a result my face is still sticky and oily from all the night skin care layering. I tend to use more and thicker for night routine which explains why it is not a cleanser for me in the morning. For the rest of the day? It work perfectly.

The scent of the gel cleanser is the signature Neesya product scent. The silky texture and scent resemble Brightening Enzymatic Refiner scent the most.

Neesya Brightening Gel Cleanser is formulated with Silver Vine Extract and Alpha-Melight ®, skin benefits from brightening effects even during essential cleansing, while extract of Hamamelis, Aloe and Vitamin B5 hydrate and soften skin. Below is the ingredient list.

Brightening Toner (RM45/110ml)

Many of my friends skip toner after cleansing. It is recommended to use a toner still even after double cleansing. Toner on a cotton pad especially is an important step as this will remove what’s left from the cleansing, on to the cotton pad. You will be amazed at how brown the cotton pad is after that :D. Neesya’s Brightening Toner is a refreshing treatment toner that contain anti-carbonylation and brightening properties from Silver Vine extract and Alpha-Melight™. The vital benefit of the toner is that it provides an anti-oxidant shield to help brighten and protect skin while Hammamelis and Aloe extract soothe, hydrate, soften and prepare the skin to receive the optimal benefits from the following skin care steps.

Although the toner is light, clear and absorbed quite quickly into the skin…it however leave a sticky residue on my face. It is no doubt quite refreshing but I just don’t quite like the stickiness. I think most brightening / whitening is similar. The toner also bear the signature Neesya scent. The product is quite similar to Illuminating Essence as both comes in a clear, liquidy texture except that toner is more watery while Illuminating Essence is more thicker.

Some people like to apply toner using both palm while some prefer the conventional way – using a cotton pad. I would suggest you to use cotton pad when it comes to applying toner. Believe it or not, this step is important as you are not just putting skin care benefit on your face but at the same time you are removing any makeup or cleansing residue left behind.

Here is the ingredient list for those that are interested.

Illuminating Essence (RM79/65ml)

I know I’ve review this before but since I’m talking about a 3-Step Routine, I got to loop this star product in :D. It will be a short one. Do read on as I’m giving this star product away to one lucky reader 😉

There’s a reason why Neesya’s Illuminating Essence is a star product. This essence visibly boosts skin luminosity using the in-house LumiScience°™ Technology through a 360° approach. As a result…skin is brightened, even-toned, hydrated, protected against damaging free radicals and oxidative stress and at the same time regain it’s translucent appearance and clarity.

As I said before in my previous review, this toner reminds me very much of SK-II Facial Treatment Essence. The only different is that this is more thicker in texture. The recommended usage is to pour onto palm and pat onto the face. You don’t need a lot, just 4 to 5 drops will do for the whole face and neck.
