IN HER 20s

Lam Li Hua
Marketing Executive
Skin type: Combination

What is your main skin concern?
I have an oily T-zone, uneven skin tone, as well as blemishes on my skin.

Tell us your typical daily beauty regimen.
I cleanse, tone and moisturize. I also apply
blemish gel when necessary, and I use sunblock all the time.

Are you an outdoor or indoor person?
I am an indoor person; I spend most of my time in the office. I barely go out in the sun, as my job doesn’t need me to travel out of the office. On weekends, I usually spend my time indoors as well.

How long have you used PRIORI Even Tones?
Six weeks now.

What is your overall verdict on the product?
Initially, I found the product to be oily and sticky upon application – I even had to dry my skin under the air-cond or fan. But then I got used to it. I do notice that my skin tone has improved since; my usual blemish spots are not so red anymore, and there is less uneven skin tone particularly on my forehead.

Would you recommend PRIORI Even Tones to your friends and family?
Yes, but for people with dry skin, as I find the product rather oily.

Syahrain Teh
Office administrator
Skin type: Oily to normal

What is your main skin concern?
Open pores, pigmentation, pimples, wrinkles and fine lines, uneven skin tone, oily T-zone – you name it, I think about it!

Tell us your typical daily beauty regimen.
During the day I cleanse, followed by application of toner, moisturiser and UV protector. At night I remove my makeup, cleanse, tone, moisturise and use tretinoin on my pimples.

Are you an outdoor or indoor person?
I am an indoor person.

How long have you used PRIORI Even Tones?
About six weeks.

What is your overall verdict on the product?
Before this I was already on another product – which did not help with my skin problems. So I decided to give PRIORI Even Tones a shot. I haven't noticed any changes. Maybe a six-week period is too short for a proper evaluation based on my skin problems, so I will not discount the product totally.
I am still using it twice a day and hope to see some results soon, if not later.

Would you recommend PRIORI Even Tones to your friends and family?
Yes. In fact, I believe that what might not work for me, does not necessarily mean it will not work on others. Just the other day, I gave some to my friend to try out.

Sharan Sidhu
Proposal Assistant
Skin type: Normal to dry

What is your main skin concern?
Dry skin!

Tell us your typical daily beauty regimen.
My routine involves cleansing and moisturizing every morning and night. I use day and night moisturizers and an eye cream. Apart from that, I take vitamins C and E when I don’t have the time to consume fruits, and I drink lots of water to keep hydrated.

Are you an outdoor or indoor person?
In the last five years or so I have been more of an indoor person. In my younger days, I didn’t think twice about being out in the sun. I only started using sunblock about 15 years ago.

How long have you used PRIORI Even Tones?
Six weeks.

What is your overall verdict on the product?
I found it somewhat drying for my skin initially. In the first week, I experienced slight peeling. However, I continued using PRIORI Even Tones but applied my usual moisturizer after. And, voila! One of my colleagues commented that I look 'fairer'! So, it obviously made a difference to my skin.

Would you recommend
PRIORI Even Tones to your friends and family?
Sure!

Siti Khadijah
Shop Assistant
Skin type: Dry skin

What is your main skin concern?
I have severe pigmentation, uneven skin tone, rough texture and dry skin.

Tell us your typical daily beauty regimen.
Honestly, I don’t take good care of my skin. My whole life, I have never used any beauty products. I even used to wash my face with normal soap! I’m not sure if that is why, but my skin is now very dull, sallow and thin.

Are you an outdoor or indoor person?
I was overexposed to the sun in my previous job. I used to work as a factory site staff where I would oversee the goods coming in and out of the store site area. My normal workday would see me out in the sun all day from 7.30am all the way to 10pm at night.

How long have you used PRIORI Even Tones?
Six weeks now.

What is your overall verdict on the product?
There wasn’t much difference in the first two weeks but by the third week into using the product, I began to notice changes in my skin tone and texture. My skin tone improved and I noticed that I had become fairer. Especially in the mornings, my skin actually feels soft and supple! Even friends and family started to comment that I look younger when I went back for my Raya holidays!

Would you recommend PRIORI Even Tones to your friends and family?
Definitely! It is the best thing I have ever used on my skin and I am very satisfied with it.
