A little thank you note to Ky-Gan from The Lilax Box for Payot event. Do check out on The Lilac Box Facebook for more upcoming events. 

BB Cream, a beauty trend adopted by Korean and soon, made its way famous around Asia. European countries soon adopted the BB Cream trend and some companies are having their way to target on the European market by formulating BB Cream that suits the European market.

Today, PAYOT offers a specific skin care product for each skin care need, whereby it is known for "physical culture for the face". PAYOT products stimulate the face's nerve centres and blood circulation. Then, removes the dead cells from epidermis and restore the skin to fresh and velvety softness state. (Source)


Recently, PAYOT launched BB Cream and Cicaexpert. To be frank, I have heard of PAYOT but never try any of their product before. It is a good chance for me to understand more about the brand.

There was another highlight for PAYOT newly launched product, the Cicaexpert.
Ever wonder how you are so frustrated about the newly formed scars on your face or body? And for some people, the scars always take their own sweet time to recover and I, have this problem.
Cicaexpert, is exactly what I need as it is a skin repair accelerator. 

Cicaexpert helps on soothing and comforting the skin, acts as a repair skin agent. It helps to accelerate the skin repair process by recreating an ideal cell environment.
Cicaexpert offers three important and targeted treatments:
#1 Regenerating Effect
Biometietic peptides encourages skin reconstruction by activating the synthesis of skin proteins and restore skin tissue quality.

#2 Healing Effect
The extract of Centella Asiatica that has powerful skin-repairing benefits, works perfect with mineral complex made up of copper, zinc and manganese which accelerates on cell production.

#3 Soothing and Moisturizing Effect 

Soothing oat extract and hyaluronic acid helps on reconstruction of the skin barrier.

PAYOT users might be familiar with CRÈME N°2 as it is a soothing treatment for redness. CRÈME N°2 has been on the market before Cicaexpert is launched. Here is a table showing the difference between Cicaexpert and CRÈME N°2.

An amazing fact I found out from Payot was that, the brand emphasized on the importance of the cooperation between Beauticians and Medical Professionals. Dr. Bernard Djian, a Dermatologist mentioned in his video, A Dermatologist can provide an instant solution for a skin problem however, it is the beauty therapist who does all the job on comforting and understanding a patient. Somehow I agreed on his statements (based on true story la, I had severe skin problem before).

After the introduction for both PAYOT BB Cream and Cicaexpert, the attendants got to experience them on hand.
Ignore the lighting, you can enlarge to see the before-after in a larger size of image. The BB cream texture given was too much so I couldn't have a proper review here. For the after effect, the BB Cream did not set in well as I assumed. It took quite some time for the BB Cream to set in and it was not oily as I thought.
I will have a proper review in some time.
