Hi, it’s Ayu! Today I want to talk about a local Indonesian skincare brand that has contacted me to try their product. This is a sponsored post, but all opinions are mine.
Beautéreine Moonphases is a local brand that presenting the first natural concentrated serum in Indonesia by using natural extracts. It’s suitable for all skin types and can be used every day, in the morning and before sleep. This serum helps to restore the skin regeneration cycle, and with one pump, you can say goodbye to various problems on the skin such as acne, dry skin, blackheads, large pores, etc. With seven active natural ingredients, The Moonphases Natural Concentrated Serum will enhance the skin’s natural regeneration phase, and give the glow from within.
The active key ingredients are :

My thoughts
First, let’s talk about the bottle. It’s quite luxurious, right? This serum is using a glass bottle with a pump head. The pump is very convenient and makes it easy to control the amount of serum that I want to use. It is a 20 ml serum, but it’ll last a while because I only need a pea amount of it for every use.
This serum is suggested to be used in serum slot, right before moisturizer, day and night. I personally prefer to use it at night only. I’ve been using it for two weeks, every night and sometimes in day routine too. This serum has a thick texture for a serum, very similar to a honey consistency. It also smells like honey! Yummy. I only need one pump, around 5mm diameter, for the whole face. I spread it all over my face and then tap tap to maximize the serum absorption. It has a slightly sticky finish but doesn’t disturb my skincare layering. After using the serum, I usually use a moisturizer or a sleeping mask.
This serum didn’t give any bad effect on my skin, not even tingling sensation. This serum is working mostly on skin regeneration, but it also gives me some hydrating effect. It helps a lot with some stubborn acne and whiteheads on my face. I had a big pimple on my left cheek and it was gone in a week. And also the scar is almost gone by now. I also have some stubborn whiteheads near my right eye, and now some of them are gone too. For my overall face, I felt my skin is smoother after using this serum consistently. I am very impressed with what this serum gives. It works quite fast and also gentle on my skin. Another great thing from this serum is that they have premium and safe ingredients. I barely see any other serum with this much goodness inside.
All photos are bare face skin and not retouched.
I will continue to use this serum in a small amount because I want to save it for when my skin is troubled again. This serum is such an investment for your skin. And if you hesitate to get it, don’t. Because I think everyone will like this serum.P is testing it out too, and so far, she had no negative reaction too, but she’ll need some more time to see the result because she’s a bit lazy on doing her skincare routine during this quarantine time.😂
Thanks for stopping by guys! See you soon ❤️
