Review: Maxclinic Meso Change Program

11. April 2017

The name of this newly launched product is super long: Maxclinic Neo-Tingle Patch Roller Program for Turn Over and Skin Rejuvenation…wow! Let’s shorten it to Maxclinic Meso Change Program, a skincare program designed to give deep hydration and firmness to the skin by using a kind of micro-needling technique to reach the lower layers of the skin. This products was kindly offered to me by BNTnews for reviewing purpose.

Maxclinic Meso Change Program

I’ve been reviewing two products from Maxclinic previously and both of them were cleansers, so I’m really happy to be able to try another type of product from this Korean brand.

Maxclinic Meso Change Program

The Maxclinic Meso Change Program consists of two components packed in a beautiful golden gift box. The design of the box is simple and yet elegant, somehow also appears science-y. The two components of the program are the Maxclinic Deep & Deeper Meso Change Ampoule and the Maxclinic Hyaluronic Meso Change Roller.

Maxclinic Meso Change Program

The Maxclinic Meso Change Program is designed for those that feel that their skin is not absorbing other skincare products even though you are exfoliating your skin. Furthermore, micro-needling is quite famous these days so it enables a well-known spa-treatment in your home, too.

Maxclinic Meso Change Program

Micro-Needling

If you haven’t heard of micro-needling yet you might be a bit confused now. Micro-needling is a new technique that is used to renew the skin’s appearance and texture by bringing beneficial ingredients (usually hyaluronic acid and collagen) into the deeper layers of the dermis using tiny needles rolling over the skin that create small channels/ micro-injuries. The nutritious ingredients can now be absorbed better into the layers below the dermis. Many people believe in the effect and also show considerable before and after pictures to show the positive effect of this method on their skin. The technique is offered in beauty saloons, but also by skin doctor’s and plastic surgeons. Most people are either afraid of the possible pain (it contains the word “needle”, which means there is something going on here) or don’t want to “hurt” their skin physically. Yes, there are needles and yes- depending on your pain tolerance- it could hurt or tingle and your face will be irritated and red some time. But still, there is a difference between the micro-needling performed at the doctor’s to the micro-needling performed at home: usually, the needles used by professionals are longer and thus penetrate deeper into the skin.

Maxclinic Meso Change Program

The Maxclinic Meso Change Program is not using a real micro-needling roller though! The real micro-needling rollers or dermarollers are made with needles of stainless steel that can be disinfected and reused several times. The Maxclinic Hyaluronic Meso Change Roller is designed for a one-time usage. The needles of the roller are not real needles, but they are made of pyramid-shaped hyaruronic acid and lactose. I suppose the lactose sugar helps to crystallize the hyaluronic acid to form the “needles”. While rolling it over the skin the “needles” melt into the skin and the roller becomes blunt and can be discarded. The Maxclinic Meso Change Program contains 4 of the separately packed rollers, a handle in order to use them, and 4 small bottles of the Maxclinic Deep & Deeper Meso Change Ampoule.

Maxclinic Deep & Deeper Meso Change Ampoule

Before you start using the roller on your face you should apply the highly concentrated special ampoule, which is prepared without even a drop of water! Each of the small ampoule bottles contain 7 ml, so one bottle will last for several applications. The ampoule contains the core ingredients of the dermis, collagen, hyaluronic acid, and four types of ceramides. These ingredients penetrate deep into the skin to visibly firm, nourish, and strengthen the skin barrier. Active ingredients are Adenosine and Niacinamide. The other ingredients are listed below:

Centella Asiatica Leaf Water, Glycerin, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Propanediol, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, 1,2-Hexanediol, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Squalane, Collagen, Glyceryl Stearate SE, Potassium Cetyl Phosphate, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Polyglyceryl-3 Cetyl Ether, Triolein, Glyceryl Dioleate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Ceramide NP, Ceramide NS, Ceramide EOP, Ceramide AP, Polyglyceryl-10 Myristate, Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Allantoin, Panthenol, Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Gossypium Herbaceum (Cotton) Seed Oil, Arctium Lappa Seed Oil, Pyridoxine HCl, Cyanocobalamin, Maltodextrin, Citric Acid, Sodium Citrate

You can check the ingredients via COSDNA. It is recommended to apply 8-10 drops to the cleaned and toned face using it once or twice a day. What I like about the ampoule is the screwing cap, so you can always close it up again and use it on another day.

Maxclinic Meso Change Program

The ampoule is a runny cream-type product with a very subtle scent. It has a richness in the texture, but also doesn’t feel heavy or sticky once absorbed. It also does not leave a film on the skin or make it feel greasy.

Maxclinic Hyaluronic Meso Change Roller

The Hyaluronic Meso Change roller has a hyaluronic acid content of more than 97 %. As I said before, it doesn’t have real needles, like other micro-needling rollers. It is a one time use roller formulated with guardangular pyramid-shaped hyaruronic acid for deep penetration and enhanced absorption of active ingredients, renewing firmness and smoothness to the skin. The active ingredient is hyaluronic acid, the inactive ingredient is lactose.

Maxclinic Meso Change Program

In order to use the roller first apply the ampoule all over, then place the golden handle included in the kit on the separately packed roller and remove the protective cap.

Maxclinic Meso Change Program

Gently roll across the skin for absorption for 3-5 minutes until the hyaluronic acid melts into the skin. You will feel that the roller becomes blunt. You can now remove the roller from the handle again and discard it. It is recommended to be used once or twice a week.

Maxclinic Meso Change Program

For my personally experience with the Maxclinic Meso Roller Program I have to state that I’m not very pain sensitive. Having dark hair waxing, epilating, and other hair removal techniques have make me quite insensitive. In my opinion, the micro-needling with the Meso Roller Program was not painful. First of all, there are no real needles here. Secondly, the roller becomes blunt quite fast, although I didn’t press hard at all. This is of course different from person to person, but I assume that if you want to try micro-needling and you are afraid of real metal needles you should try this one before. It could be a good way to now, whether you can tolerate the “pain” or not. In my experience, the roller helped to massage the skin and also helped to absorb the ampoule more thoroughly. The skin is feeling more plump, because of the increasing blood circulation by rolling all over. I’d love to try it for more than only 4 weeks to know whether it also makes any differences in the skin’s texture and appearance regarding wrinkles or pores or old scars. I’m not able to tell about these long-term effects though.

Maxclinic Meso Change Program

I think the Maxclinic Meso Roller Program is a great way to try kind of a micro-needling experience at home. I love the fact that the rollers don’t have real needles, but are make from lactose and hyaluronic acid. Also, I did like the consistency of the ampoule and the ingredients used in it. The downside is of course the price: It retails for 152.80 US$ from amazon.com and for 81.05 US$ from eBay for 4 uses! This is a lot of money, but it is still not as much as a session with a professional costs.

Review: MAXCLINIC Purifying Vitamin Oil Foam & Cloud Embo Massage Brush

20. November 2016

From the moment I started using the asian double cleansing method I loved it! Double cleansing is easy and really makes a difference in your skin condition once you use it for a while. For the method you use two cleansing steps: in the first one, you remove the makeup, usually by using an oil cleanser, in the second step you clean your face by a foam cleanser for example. For many people this sounds like too much, because it takes to much time, so combination products are always popular. I reviewed the MAXCLINIX Caviar Massage Foam Oil in the past and today I will review another similar product, the MAXCLINIC Purifying Vitamin Oil Foam. Additionally, I will show you the Cloud Embo Massage Brush which completes this cleansing routine. Both products were kindly offered to me by BNTnews.

MAXCLINIC Purifying Vitamin Oil Foam

Max Clinic is a Korean brand. Unfortunately, the description is only in Korean, but this explains probably, why this brand is rather unknown to people outside of Korea and even to many lovers of asian beauty products. The packaging design of the products is simple and neat and both products came packed in cardboard boxes.

MAXCLINIC Purifying Vitamin Oil Foam

The MAXCLINIC Purifying Vitamin Oil Foam comes in a sturdy plastic container with a pump. It has a clear, plastic protective cap, too. The pump dispenser is a bit inconvenient, because it is not the long type of dispenser, where you easily can put your hand below, but you’ll always have to hold the bottle at an angle, so you dispense the product into the middle of your palms. Other than this the packaging looks elegant and the material is not appearing cheaply, but rather sturdy.

MAXCLINIC Purifying Vitamin Oil Foam

This massage and cleansing oil has a thick oil/jelly texture when pumped out. The formula contains capsules, which probably contain the vitamins. In order to use this cleanser you first dispense one pump on your palms and massage it on your dry face. After massaging, wet your hands and continue massaging. The oil becomes a bit foamy, although it doesn’t generate huge amounts of foams. The cleansing oil is a clear, oil type (of course), yellow-ish colored product and smells nicely. I didn’t find any information about the ingredients…but the packaging says “natural ingredients”, so I hope that’s true.

MAXCLINIC Purifying Vitamin Oil Foam

While cleansing your face this product doesn’t make your skin feel dry. The pH though lies at 7 and is not suited for those people in need of low pH cleansers. I experiened that the cleanser removes most makeup, but not all of it efficiently. Since it is claimed to be an all in one product this is a bit disappointing. The skin itself feels clean though, but for removing all your makeup you will need eye-and lip makeup remover.

MAXCLINIC Purifying Vitamin Oil Foam

The best way to use this product is in combination with the Cloud Embo Massage Brush. This super soft brush has two sides: a V-Padding Massage side and the Cloud Embo side. It is suggested to apply the oil cleanser first with your dry hands, then use the V-Padding Massage side of the brush to massage your face. Then, with the wet brush side brush your face in circular movements.

MAXCLINIC Purifying Vitamin Oil Foam

The oil cleanser lathers up into a much nicer foam when used together with the brush. And the bristles of the brush are so soft and nice and are perfectly suited for sensitive skintypes too.

MAXCLINIC Purifying Vitamin Oil Foam

Once the brush has been used make sure to rinse it off with clear water, then squeeze it out and leave it to dry thoroughly. The embo brush will be as soft as during the first time you used it. I love it!

MAXCLINIC Purifying Vitamin Oil Foam

I must say that for a all-in-one product I am not totally happy with the MAXCLINIC Purifying Vitamin Oil Foam. The foam it creates without using the help of a brush is really few. Also, it is not able to remove your eye makeup properly. The Cloud Embo Massage Brush on the other hand is great! I love that it has a massage side and I love how soft it is. You can buy the cleanser from ebay for around 17 US$ and the brush for 20 US$.
