Food4Skin 23 : NY Glow (SPONSORED)

Hey guys!!!

Do you crave that healthy, glowy glass skin that is trending now? If you do, then you have come to the right place because today i am going to share all about this brand new, fresh Indonesian skin care brand that's all about achieving those glow!

I am super pleased to introduce you to this new star : NY Glow!

NY Glow is really, totally fresh from the oven! They have just successfully launched their skin care line just 9 days ago on the 20th of December 2019. I am one of the lucky ones that are the firsts to receive and get to try their products! I have personally been using them for about 2 weeks now so i can do a proper, in depth review for you ^^.

They send me this huge, luxurious box filled with their awesome products!

NY Glow's launch theme is #MakeItGlow and they aim to provide Indonesian women skincare products that we need to achieve healthy, glowing skin safely.

The box's so huge that it comes with two tiers

The first tier housed NY Glow products and the second contains a beautiful silky kimono! I've always wanted one so i am super excited when i saw it!

Super luxurious products that i got from NY Glow, making me feel super special ^^

So this December, NY Glow launched a 5 variant skincare line that consists of Luxury Glowing Serum, Glowing Toner, Brightening Facial Wash, Whitening Day Cream and Night Cream.

NY Glow skincare line

NY Glow's products are formulated for Indonesian women who craves glowing skin with ingredient list that includes Aloe Vera Extract, Hamamelis Virgiana Extract, Vitamin B and Whey Protein. Their products are Halal certified and totally safe, ofc they are all already BPOM certified. This line is invented as the first solution to get a glowing and healthy skin from the very first use.

I personally really enjoy their products and my skin is in tip top condition even though i've just had my period and gotten really sick in the past two weeks and for me, that's a testament enough of the products' quality ^^.

Let's talk about the products one by one :

NY Glow Brightening Facial Wash - 100ml, IDR 100,000
The facial wash comes in a white plastic bottle with gold accent, simple but quite luxe looking and travel friendly as the packaging is light but sturdy

Ingredient List and how to use information can be found at the back of the bottle

It comes with a pump mechanism

The texture is light, runny gel, almost transparent in color

It is very mild and gentle, when mixed with water it turns into a light, soft sud. The fact that it doesn't lather much is a sign of how mild and gentle it is

NY Glow Brightening Facial Wash contains active ingredient grape extract that helps reduce irritation, inflammation and increase skin elasticity, freshen up and hydrate skin.

The facial wash is super gentle, it can cleanse my face thoroughly without making it feels tight/stripped. It makes my skin soft and moisturized after usage and it works super well on both my oily skin and hunny's very dry skin!

NY Glow Glowing Toner - 100ml, IDR 120,000
The packaging of the toner is similar to the facial wash

It comes with a very convenient spray mechanism but the instruction tells you to spray it on a cotton pad, although i find it defeats the purpose a little bit (you can still spray it on if you want though, i used it straight from the spray and it worked pretty well too) i do think the spray makes you use less product than if you pour it on so that is still a very good thing

NY Glow Glowing Toner contains active ingredient Witch Hazel that helps reduce irritation and inflammation as well as refreshen and hydrate skin. It also contains Alpha Arbutin to help brighten your skin and reduce dark spots.

The toner is also pretty mild and hydrating for me. Witch Hazel is known to kill bacteria, i am guessing that is why my skin is also spot free these days. It's a lovely, gentle toner that doesn't make my skin tingle (although one of its benefit is to exfoliate the skin) and works well to prep my skin for the next skin care step. Some toners can be drying on hunny's skin but this one works well for him too.

NY Glow Luxury Glowing Serum - 15ml, IDR 200.000
The serum comes in a small, transparent pump bottle. Personally i like the aesthetic of this packaging more than the white bottles that the facial wash and toner comes in

The serum's completely clear and has a watery gel consistency

NY Glow Luxury Glowing Serum contains active ingredients Beta Vulgaris Root Extract, Borago Officinalis Seed Oil, Chlorella Vulgaris (Algae) Extract that make skin looks glowing and healthy, protect your skin from premature aging and wrinkles and ensure skin stays tight and youthful.

The serum melts into watery consistency upon contact with the skin, is very cooling and although it feels very light and watery, it is actually very moisturizing! I have oily skin and as this serum is very rich, i do not layer it with the Day or Night Cream, but i use it in alternative with them. If you have normal to dry skin though, the combination of the serum and the Day and Night Cream is essential. Btw, i'm not saying if you have oily skin you cannot layer the serum, it might work for your skin because every skin is different and can have different reaction to a product - it's just personally i know my skin really well, it is very oily and prone to clogging if i layer serums that are too rich with moisturizer. So knowing your skin well is key and adjust your skin care routine accordingly.

There is only 15ml of product in the bottle but a little goes a long way, you only need a little bit to deeply hydrates your face and neck. It feels cooling and fresh, a real treat to put on.

NY Glow Whitening Day Cream and NY Glow Whitening Night Cream - 10 gr each, IDR 125.000 each

The day and night cream comes in identical transparent plastic jar with gold top. I do like the packaging, it looks luxe and pretty but i admit it's a little bit hard to easily identify which one is which, you have to pick one up and read the label to make sure you are grabbing the right one

NY Glow Whitening Day Cream

The Day Cream has a creamy texture with slight orange tint color 

NY Glow Whitening Day Cream contains active ingredients Squalene and Jojoba Oil that functions to absorb excess sebum and moisturizes skin.

I absolutely love the Day Cream! It works so well on my oily skin because it actually really has great oil control and as a bonus, it works awesome under makeup too as it makes my makeup applies easily and flawlessly. As it is a day cream and has UV Filter properties, it does have a slight whitish effect (which is pretty much a trait in every product with SunScreen in it) when blended, it is slightly thick but it doesn't feel thick or heavy on the skin.

As it does give me a matte finish, if you have normal or dry skin, i highly recommend using the Serum first to give your skin more hydration before using the Day Cream. The Day Cream moisturizes my skin more than enough, but drier skin would definitely need more, which can be provided by the Serum. 

NY Glow Whitening Night Cream

The night cream is thick and a little balmy and white in color

NY GLOW Whitening Night Cream contains active Ingredients Alpha Arbutin and Vitamin B3 that functions to brighten and give nutrition to your facial skin.

Although the night cream is quite balmy, it gradually melts into the skin and deeply hydrates my skin so i wake up with a smooth and silky skin in the morning. Again, would highly recommend using the Serum before the night cream for drier skin - as for me, the night cream is definitely rich enough on its own. It gives me a matte feeling initially but after a few short hours, i can feel my skin getting slightly oily (this is not a bad thing, most night cream give this effect for my skin and it ensure my skin to get the moisture and hydration it needs).

Overall, i had a great experience with NY Glow products, they are definitely gentle and kind to my skin. They protect, repair and makes my skin suppler, silkier and glows from within. All of their products are comfortable to use, doesn't break me out or clog my skin while at the same time manage to give my skin all the nutrients and hydration so i would definitely recommend you to check their products out ^^.
