COCO2U Product Review | Organic Virgin Coconut Oil, A Nature's Miracle
Monday, February 06, 2017
Being a typical
Malaysian, coconuts are fundamental ingredients in our favourite homegrown
dishes. Do you know that this tropical fruit is also known to possess many health
and beauty benefits? Aside from their natural antibacterial and antifungal
properties, virgin coconut oil are natural moisturizers for our skin.
High levels of antioxidants from vitamin E contained in the coconut oil are able to penetrate through the cells of the skin. The elimination of free radicals by the antioxidants prevented further damage of connective tissues and maintained skin flexibility and versatility. This also explains its anti-aging role by preventing skin sagging and wrinkling.

you to obtain all the goodness from coconut oil for your skin! Dubbed as
“Nature’s Miracle” by COCO2U, organic virgin coconut oil is the key ingredient
and an elixir of beauty and wellness. In addition, your skin may also be richly
nourished with Natural Bioactive Ingredients which are the foundation of all
COCO2U products. These amazing natural ingredients that provide extra nutrition
to your skin are aloe vera, aquacacteen, mushroom extract, cucumber extract,
virgin coconut oil, yam bean extract, argan oil, and grape seed extract. COCO2U

all the benefits for your skin in a safe, natural, and pure way. COCO2U products’
safety are guaranteed by ensuring no animal testing, no artificial

COCO2U has given me
the opportunity to experience organic virgin coconut oil in daily skincare
regimen using their skincare starter kit. This essential starter kit consists
of a hydrating cleanser, pore refining tonique, Bioactive Day Moisturiser, and
a Bioactive Night Moisturiser. COCO2U’s Luminous Serum completed the daily
skincare regimen.
Step 1: Hydrating Cleanser
I began my first step
of skincare regimen with cleansing using COCO2U Hydrating Cleanser. Using
Organic Virgin Coconut Oil formulated with aloe vera and aquacacteen, this
cleanser ensures sufficient hydration for the skin while performing thorough
cleansing. This three ingredients are known to be hydrating in nature. As most
of us are not familiar with aquacacteen, it is actually an ultra-refined elixir
extracted from organic cactus (Opuntia ficus-indica) which has hydrating
properties.
Personal experience &
thoughts:
I like the idea of
hydration being introduced together with cleansing. While normal cleansing
usually will strip natural oils from skin, this cleanser prevents that from
happening. Hydration is restored and nutrients are supplied to skin
simultaneously when cleansing is performed. My skin did not feel dry and taut
after cleansing! It might be a little moisturizing for skin type as I have
really oily skin but it does not cause any break outs. Nevertheless, this
product is suitable for all skin types as it restores the hydration balance of
all skin types.
Step 2: Pore Refining Tonique
Toning is always the
next step after cleansing in order to cleanse your pores and restore skin pH balance.
In addition to the Organic Virgin Coconut Oil, this pore refining toner also
contains Mushroom extract. Mushroom extract has astringent properties and are
effective in tightening pores and refining skin tone.
Personal experience &
thoughts:
This toner is indeed
refreshing and purifying. Although it contains coconut oil as well, the texture
was creamy and not oily. My skin felt instantly refreshed when I first dabbed
the cotton pad onto my skin. It absorbed very well and does not leave my skin
sticky. It cleanses my pores well too as it left some dirt residue on the clean
cotton pad.
Step 3: Luminous Serum
This serum provides
intensive treatment for hydration and rejuvenation to get an instant radiant
look. With a few drops at different regions on your face, pat lightly to make
sure the product is well absorbed. This product absorbed rapidly and instantly
provide a natural glow.
Personal experience &
thoughts:
I am glad that this
serum did not cause any break outs on my skin, unlike my previous experiences
with serum. My skin did not look fatigue anymore after application. The natural
glow comes after almost a week of twice a day application. I guess this
Luminous Serum does make my skin illuminated!
Step 4: Bioactive Day/Night Moisturiser
Moisturising is an
important step as it ensures the skin has sufficient moisture content. Organic
Virgin Coconut Oil has proven to be an effective and natural moisturizer. It is
present in both day and night moisturizer. The day moisturizer also has other
natural ingredients such as olive leaf extract and grapeseed extract, enhancing
its moisturizing effect. Enriched with vitamin E, the day cream has SPF20.
As for the night
cream, the combination of argan oil, yam bean, and hyaluronic acid as the
accompanying ingredients provided extra nourishment and prepping the skin for
bedtime. Argan oil provided extra moisturizing while hyaluronic acid acts as a
moisture binder. Yam bean is a source of vitamin C and helps in achieving an even
skin complexion.
There are distinct differences
between the day and night cream formulations. The day cream is more lightweight
and non-greasy. The night cream is a little rich in texture, trapping more
moisture for the skin. Both formulations absorbed well and quickly, leaving my
skin soft and supple. They kept my face
well- moisturized throughout the day and night. These products are suitable for
oily and acne prone skin, as organic virgin coconut oil has anti-inflammation
and anti-bacterial properties that work together to combat acne.
After an amazing week
with COCO2U skincare products, I could see subtle changes in my skin condition.
It might not be able to show on pictures, but my skin does feel more hydrated
and radiant. Never knew this amazing organic virgin coconut oil can do wonders
on skin until I experiment my skin with these products. You may try this on
