SKIN CARE ALERT: Shu Uemura Tsuya Skin (Youth Infusing Eye Concentrate)

My skin type background: I have very oily skin. At times, my nose and around my mouth tends to be a little dry. I'm more to combination skin types.

The intention for this blog post is the alert you guys that this product caused allergic reaction to me. I rarely allergic to something no matter drugs, foods, environmental factors or even cosmetics or skin care products. However, I have a bad experience with this product.

Yesterday, I went to get a tester of this product as they are doing promotion. Last night, I followed to instruction given by the sale girl how to apply this product. They also provide a pamphlet to guide you through. Immediate after application, I can already feel the slight itchiness. Well, I thought it must be promoting blood circulation..

Never thought that the itchiness become more intense throughout the night. When I felt asleep, I can feel my whole face was itchy. It actually extended to the neck. Well, I thought again it maybe because of mosquito bites! I can't stand the itchiness at 4 am and decided to get up and have a look.

I notice that my both eyes are swollen... Haih~ at this moment, I know that it must be to do with this eye cream. So, I immediately go and took a tablet of Zyrtec (Anti-Histamine) and then continue back to sleep. By the hope that tomorrow morning it will subside. Unfortunately, it didn't get better. I ended up to get a medical leave and had an IV Hydrocortisone 100mg injection, IV Piriton 5mg, T. Prednisolone 15mg and CMC Eye Drops.

My advise to all: Please get free sample of expensive skin care products and try it out before you decide to buy it. I'm lucky because I try out the sample first, if not I'm going to waste few hundreds in this product. Secondly, if you really want to try out this product, apply it to other parts of your body first, e.g. neck. See whether you are sensitive to this product or not. Like I say before, I rarely allergic to anything but this cause a bad reaction to me. I guess the ingredients of this product are really chemically strong.

This is my eyes before and after... Hehe. The picture took at 7am. I applied this product at about 12MN.
 Not kidding huh~ Worst experience ever...
