We’re big fans of Ettusais’ recently reformulated Skin Version Up SP lotion – it’s a potent zit-zapper thoughtfully packaged with a hygienic pump dispenser, and wallet-friendly to boot – so when news broke that the Japanese beauty brand would be releasing a limited edition version emblazoned with Suzy Spafford’s delightful animal illustrations, we positively squealed in delight.
For those impervious to the charms of pretty packaging, know that the product within is well worth sussing out in its own right. Ettusais says that this multi-purpose emulsion is chockfull of both “regular” and “super” hyaluronic acid, the latter being said to come in smaller molecules for maximum moisture boosting benefits.
Ettusais’ Skin Version Up SP is amped up with the brand’s signature AC control oil, a blend of antibacterial agents that helps to halt lumps and bumps before they appear on the skin. Just two pumps are sufficient for your entire face and neck, and the supremely silky texture sinks into your skin without leaving a suffocating slick on the surface.
Now, most acne-prone ladies we know tend to shy away from moisturisers, being wary of their potentially pore-clogging side-effects. We know it sounds counter-intuitive, but if you’re suffering from spots, a soothing hydrator is absolutely essential if you want to alleviate the flaking that some anti-acne medications can cause (read our guide for more surprising skincare tips).
If you’re pouting over pimples, go on and try this Suzy’s Zoo version on for size – if only because it’ll make you smile when you see the bottle on your vanity chest!
Ettusais Skin Version Up SP Limited Edition Suzy’s Zoo Design, $37 for 100 ml, is available at all Ettusais stores. For more information, visit www.ettusais.com.sg and follow the brand on Facebook.
